'''When a gang of Mercenaries time-locks all of Cybertron, Grimlock and a group of new friends must combine their efforts to save the planet.'''

==Synopsis==

In the Tomb of [[Nexus Prime]], [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] and [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] happily dart towards the exit with ancient relics in hand, pursued by the gigantic invisible bird that has made the tomb its home. Narrowly dodging booby traps and projectile eggs, the two manage to escape in their [[Autobot shuttle|shuttle]], blasting off towards Cybertron. As they fly, they review the contents of their haul, including the mysterious [[Enigma of Combination]]. Grimlock remarks offhandedly how nice the Enigma will look at the centerpiece for the party he'll be holding after the signing of the [[Treaty of the Wall|peace treaty]] happening that day—which the two realize in a moment of panic that they are now ''very'' late for.

Indeed, shouts of joy can be heard all across Cybertron over the treaty's impending ratification, with nearly the entire population having gathered along the border wall dividing the planet to celebrate. Parades march through the streets and vendors hock their wares as Cybertronians anticipate the reunification of their people. A delegation of [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, led by [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] respectively, take the stage above the wall as Optimus happily announces the end of the war and the beginning of a new era of peace for for their world. Indeed, it seems everything is going perfectly—until a stream of green energy waves descend from above. Without anyone ever even noticing, all of Cybertron and everyone on it are frozen in place as the waves cover the surface of the planet. The source of the waves is revealed to be an enormous black ship, the captain of which orders the crew to approach the surface.

Arcee and Grimlock arrive back on Cybertron, immediately noticing something is wrong. Confused as to why their friends are all unmoving, they hear the other ship land and arm themselves before splitting up to investigate. As Arcee explores, she notices a [[Buzzsaw (Cyberverse)|Cybertronian bird]] flying by and moves to follow it, radioing Grimlock to follow. The hatch of the black ship opens, and its occupants emerge: the Mercenaries [[Nightbird (Cyberverse)|Nightbird]], [[Bug Bite (Cyberverse)|Bug Bite]], [[Afterburner (Cyberverse)|Afterburner]], [[Doublecrosser (Cyberverse)|Doublecrosser]], and their leader [[Soundblaster (Cyberverse)|Soundblaster]]. As his companion Buzzsaw returns to his chest, Soundblaster gives the order to start ransacking the planet, only to be interrupted by fire from Arcee's gatling blaster. Arcee demands to know what they've done to her friends, only for Soundblaster to demonstrate firsthand by using his [[time blaster]] to freeze Arcee mid-fire like the others, and Bug Bite snatches her blaster for himself. As Soundblaster boards their hovercraft, the Mercenaries grab Arcee and take off towards the celebration.


Grimlock gets worried when Arcee doesn't respond to his calls, only for his fears to be confirmed when he finds her in a pile of frozen bodies. Grimlock swears vengeance, only to pause when he notices voices coming from nearby. Investigating, Grimlock comes across a group of four bots bickering their next course of action. Assuming them to be the culprits, Grimlock orders them to restore the planet to normal. Caught by surprise, the intruders transform and attack Grimlock, but he quickly overpowers them with his dinosaur mode and a cry of "Me Grimlock!" This shocks the flying robot, who claims that they know who he his. As everyone calms down, the four confirm they too are trying to stop the Mercenaries, calling him "King Grimlock" and sharing a rallying cry that Grimlock recognizes as his own words. The four introduce themselves as [[Sludge (Cyberverse)|Sludge]], [[Snarl (Cyberverse)|Snarl]], [[Slug (Cyberverse)|Slug]] and [[Swoop (Cyberverse)|Swoop]], explaining that their people intercepted one of Grimlock's video logs from his time on prehistoric [[Earth]] and were inspired by his message, taking on forms resembling his dinosaur friends in homage to him. However, the Mercenaries similarly time-locked their planet before looting and destroying it, with them as the only survivors. Now the four seek vengeance for their planet and their fallen friend, [[Tiny Arms]]. Now determined, Grimlock demands they taken him to the Mercenaries.

The five [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] find four of the Mercenaries in the process of vandalizing a wall, and Grimlock orders the others to wait while he handles things. Grimlock charges into battle and seems to be pinned down at first, prompting the others to disobey orders and charge in. Grimlock quickly manages to turn the tide of battle, but before he can finish them off, the other Dinobots make their entrance, only to get hit by Bug Bite's grenades and thrown into Grimlock. Soundblaster arrives on the scene, arming his time blaster, and Grimlock orders the group to retreat, convering their escape as they grab the frozen Arcee and take off in Grimlock's shuttle. Grimlock berates the team for not following his orders, but is interrupted as Snarl picks up the Enigma of Combination. Moving to stop him, Grimlock accidentally bumps the steering mechanism, sending the ship into a spiral. As the group collides with each other, the Enigma of Combination activates and a giant Autobot bursts forth from the spacecraft, crashing to the ground. The five Dinobots emerge from the subsequent dust cloud, realizing that for a moment, they all shared one consciousness.


The Mercenaries arrive at the treaty signing and, with the blessings of their "boss", begin to rob the crowd of their belongings and throw them in their hovercraft's trailer, messing with various bots in the process. As Nightbird claims [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]'s [[Stormfall Sword]] for herself, Soundblaster mocks the frozen delegates before his attention falls on Soundwave. Elsewhere, Grimlock posits that it was the Enigma of Combination that caused the five of them to form that enormous warrior, which Swoop confirms through a quick [[Witwiki]] search. The five take hold of the Enigma and are once again combined into the mighty [[Volcanicus (Cyberverse)|Volcanicus]]! Unfortunately, the [[combiner]]'s elation is short-lived, as they immediately trip and fall, splitting back into the Dinobots. Grimlock believes that Volcanicus's power could be enough to defeat the Mercenaries, but they will need to learn how to use their new form first, and he constructs a training course to help them practice. Things go poorly at first, with Volcanicus failing to clear any of the obstacles. Grimlock worries if they will ever be ready, but the rallying cheers of the others reinvigorates him and encourages him to try again. This time, Volcanicus easily clears the course, discovering they possess a sword as well. Grimlock is pleased with their success, but that still begs the question of how to defend against being frozen by the time blaster. Swoop claims she can build a quantum field to protect against the time blaster's rays, and the team construct the device using the wreckage from Grimlock's ship. As it proves too large for one bot to carry, Volcanicus instead wields it as a shield.

Soundblaster unfreezes Soundwave's head, leaving him conscious but immobile, and gloats to him about the Mercenaries' many successes. Soundwave is unimpressed and continues to mock his doppelgänger, but Soundblaster refuses to be denied his revenge and yanks [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]] from Soundwave's chest compartment, forcibly inserting the creature into his own. As they drag Soundwave away, Nightbird explains the origin of their grudge to the others: millions of years ago, Soundwave handily defeated Soundblaster in a beatboxing battle at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], bruising his pride and causing him to abandon the Decepticons and Cybertron. As his final revenge for that night, Soundblaster traps Soundwave in an [[infinite resonator]], which will endlessly echo and amplify every sound the Decepticon makes until the sound causes his body to fall apart.

Soundblaster's gloating is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Volcanicus. When the time blaster fails to stop the combiner, Soundblaster orders his team to fire on them from all sides. Despite some initial struggles, Volcanicus holds their own against the Mercenaries, inadvertently destroying the resonator in the process. Now freed, Soundwave attacks, only to be frozen again by Soundblaster. However, this angers Laserbeak, who escapes Soundblaster's chest with Buzzsaw in pursuit. Soundblaster tries to shoot the bird, only to hit Buzzsaw by mistake, and Laserbeak grabs the time blaster and flies off with it, only to lose hold of it in a dogfight with Afterburner. With the time blaster lost, Soundblaster orders the Mercenaries to throw everything they have at Volcanicus, but the combiner takes them all out with a missile barrage and traps them under their own hovercraft trailer.


The Dinobots split back apart and celebrate their victory, and Grimlock orders the Mercenaries to restore all of Cybertron. Soundblaster, however, tells them that the only one who can make that call is "the boss" as he and the other Mercenaries laugh. The Dinobots are confused until a massive figure emerges from the Mercenaries' ship and stomps towards them: the Mercenaries' leader, [[Trypticon (Cyberverse)|Trypticon]]! The titanic Transformer scolds Soundblaster and fires him and his crew for their failure, instead offering to make the Dinobots his new crew and plunder the galaxy after he destroys Cybertron. Grimlock refuses the offer and the Dinobots reform Volcanicus. Trypticon manages to destroy their shield, but the combiner redirects his flames back at him with their sword. Unfortunately, the sword isn't enough to damage him, and Trypticon manages to split them apart again with a swipe of his tail. The tail swipe topples over the trailer, freeing the Mercenaries but destroying Soundblaster's legs. Taking advantage of the opening, the Mercenaries make a full retreat.

Struggling to take down Trypticon, the Dinobots recombine and manage to climb up Tripticon's tail and atop his back. With a mighty leap, Volcanicus brings their sword down in to the nape of Trypticon's neck, piercing it and finally bringing the enormous bot down. Seeing their boss fall, the Mercenaries opt to cut their losses, boarding their ship and leaving the planet. As Volcanicus celebrates their victory, Trypticon reactivates in a burst of flame, knocking Volcanicus to the ground and forcing the Dinobots to separate and scatter. As they attempt to avoid Trypticon's barrage, Swoop spots the time blaster in one of the vendor stands. Acting quickly, Grimlock summons the others and they recombine, dodging Trypticon's fire and grabbing the blaster. As Trypticon announces the rescinding of his employment offer and prepares to step on Volcanicus, the combiner manages to fire the blaster at the last moment, immobilizing Trypticon and finally bringing an end to the battle.

With the threat neutralized, Grimlock congraulates his team on a job well done. Acknowledging how long it would take to un-immobilize everybody individually, Grimlock instead opts to unfreeze [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] first, who builds a machine to amplify the time blaster's effects on a global scale. The machine is successful, restoring all of Cybertron back to normal, though the machine is destroyed in the process. Despite the confusion of suddenly seeing a giant saurian Transformer in their midst, the remainder of the ceremony goes off without a hitch. With the signing of the treaty, Optimus declares Cybertron is finally at peace, and the wall is deactivated as both Autobots and Decepticons come together in celebration. Grimlock introduces Arcee to his new friends, Laserbeak reunites with Soundwave, and the Dinobots combine once more in jubilation, much to the surprise of those around them.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*This episode sees an end to both the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the deactivation of the wall dividing Cybertron into Autobot and Decepticon halves, as first seen in "[[Enemy Line]]".
*The Dinobots intercepted and were inspired by the last of Grimlock's video logs from prehistoric Earth, originally seen way back in "[[King of the Dinosaurs]]".
*Perceptor seems to have finally fixed his optics after he blew them out when he and Chromia were escaping the Decepticons in "[[Battle For Cybertron I]]".
*The flashback to Soundblaster and Soundwave's battle seems to take place sometime around the second flashback in "[[Maccadam's]]", as all of the patrons are Decepticons. The two-headed Seeker present also suggests it is after the third flashback in "[[Megatron Is My Hero]]", which showed Shockwave repairing/assembling the bot.

===Transformers references===
* The title is an obvious reference to the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] episode, "[[The Immobilizer]]".
* As usual, all the text in the episode is written in [[Alphabet|Autobot script]], which is used to hide several of the text-based easter eggs listed on this page.
* [[Primus]] is listed in Nexus Prime's omnicom contacts.
* Soundblaster's depiction harkens back to his [[Soundblaster (G1)|counterpart]] in the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, including being a separate individual from Soundwave, being a high-ranking Mercenary, and having Buzzsaw as his minion. [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]] also appeared as a Mercenary later in the series, while [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]] was labeled a Mercenary in the ''[[Transformers Trading Card Game]]''.
* The Enigma of Combination, the artifact of [[Nexus Prime]], was a key object in the latter years of [[2005 IDW continuity|the first IDW continuity]] and plays a major role in the concurrent issues of [[Transformers (2019 comic)|the 2019 ongoing]]. Visually, this Engima trades its comic counterparts' silver and red for a gold and blue paintjob.
*Swoop consults her "Witwiki" database for information on the Enigma of Combination, a pun based on the [[Witwicky]] family featured in many other ''Transformers'' incarnations. (Fun fact: many years ago, {{SITENAME SHORT}} was nearly given the exact same name!)
**According to [[Randolph Heard]], an earlier draft of the script used the name "TiffWiki" instead. We're genuinely flattered.<ref>[https://twitter.com/randolphheard/status/1457004614012661773 "We went to Witwiki after we were asked not to have Swoop say TiffWiki!" - Randolph Heard on Twitter]</ref>
* In addition to the main article, which Swoop quotes word-for-word, Witwiki features various status messages and links for assorted wiki funcions (such as "Support", "Related" and "Random") and a side bar listing known combiners; [[Reflector (disambiguation)|Reflector]]'s name appears in that list.
* Another [[The Transformers: The Movie|"Soundwave Superior"]] for the list.
* Upon seeing Volcanicus, Bug Bite exclaims "Great greasy [[Gigatron (disambiguation)|Gigatron]]!" while Afterburner swears by [[The Fallen|Megatronus]].

===Real-world references===
* Three of Nexus Prime's contacts are named "Rob", "Ehud", and "Piotr". These are presumably prop designer [[Robert Brady]], episode director [[Ehud Landsberg]], and art director [[Piotr Bzdura]].
* The text written script on the two tablets at the "Save the Singlehorn" stand is actually a message thanking several online content creators for reviewing ''Cyberverse'' over the years: "[https://www.youtube.com/c/ComodinCam Comodian Cam] {{sic}}, [https://www.youtube.com/c/UltraPrimal UltraPrimal], [https://www.youtube.com/user/dragonkeeper19600 dragonkeeper19600], [https://www.youtube.com/user/barutazaru Threw Adams] {{sic}}, [https://www.youtube.com/c/RodimusPrimal RodimnsPrimal] {{sic}}, [https://www.youtube.com/c/TransformersAnimatedSeason4 Heyan Carlile] {{sic}}, [https://twitter.com/Jilliansart94 Jillian Jones], thanks for all the review. We love you guys."
* "Witwiki" is, of course, based on the real-life website [[Wikipedia]], including a similar logo design.
* The list of combiners on Witwiki includes the names "Katiatron" and "Patrick-Prime", in reference to series production manager [[Katia Fogarty]] and production coordinator [[Patrick McDonald]] respectively.

===Other trivia===
*Originally scheduled for a November 21st premiere on [[Netflix]], this episode unexpectedly debuted two weeks early on YouTube, something that was only announced literally the day before it happened.
*Clobber is voiced by [[Deanna McGovern]] in place of her usual actress, [[Saskia Marx]]
*[[Jessica DiGiovanni]] and [[Tony Daniels]], who were respectively credited as Sophia Isabella and Mike Rose in previous seasons, are credited under their real names beginning with this episode, as was the case in ''[[Transformers: Battlegrounds]]''.
*The Dinobots adopted their dinosaur modes based off of Grimlock's dinosaur friends that appeared in the video. And yet, there are no ''Velociraptor''s or ''Spinosaur''s among them.
**Furthermore, Snarl's dinosaur mode is based of a ''Stegosaurus'' which didn't, and couldn't, appear among Grimlock's Cretaceous comrades.

===Animation and technical errors===
*As in several episodes since "[[Megatron Is My Hero]]", Bumblebee's Autobot insignia is missing the white shape inside the top section throughout the episode.
*The flock of [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]]-type birds all have Decepticon insignia, despite being unaligned.
*When Afterburner and Bug Bite begin shooting at Grimlock, Afterburner uses his fellow Conehead [[Dirge (Cyberverse)|Dirge]]'s model.
*When the Mercenaries first arrive at the treaty signing, Bug Bite's feet are clipping through the ground.
*When the Dinobots transform to Volcanicus for the second time, the screen cuts to black for a few seconds. Perhaps this would have been where the credits would appear if the episode was split into four parts?
*When Cosmos is frozen and later unfrozen with Meteorfire, she lacks the Autobot insignia.
*When Clobber hugs Lockdown, she has a Decepticon insignia instead of Autobot.
*Trypticon's name is incorrectly misspelled "Tripticon" in the credits.
*Teletraan-X and Kup are listed in the voice credits, despite not appearing in the episode. The former's name is also misspelled "Teletran X".

Cartoons

Toyeticollector: /* Cyberverse (2018-current) */

Throughout the history of the ''Transformers'' brand, '''cartoons''' have been its primary advertising vehicle. After all, in most cases, it's free for the viewer to watch, and is more attention-catching while requiring less "work" on their part than reading a [[comics|comic]]. (In theory, at least.) Most every major ''Transformers'' toyline has had an accompanying cartoon attached to it.

This article focuses on the "major" pieces of animation. For a complete listing of ''every'' bit of ''Transformers'' cartoon media, see [[:Category: Media]].

{{TOCclear}}

==A Brief-ish History of ''Transformers'' Cartoons==
===Pre-''Transformers''....===
In the early 1980s, one of the many facets of [[President of the United States|President]] [[Ronald Reagan]]'s "deregulation" push was a change in the rules of how television programs could be used to advertise products in the [[United States of America|United States]], especially to children. Previously, an entertainment program could not be ''about'' a product... yet a show could be "sponsored" (read: owned) by a company with a product to sell, have the company name and product plastered everywhere, ''and'' bring the show to a screeching halt to directly address the audience and ham-handedly try and sell them the company's product. Deregulation pretty much inverted things: an entertainment program ''could'' exist solely to be about a product, but it could not ''overtly, directly'' tell its audience to buy this product available from fine retailers near you and be the envy of the neighborhood. This prohibition even extended to the [[commercial]] breaks, meaning a commercial for the product in question could not air during the timeslot for the show made to advertise said toy.

It's kind of a toss-up as to which is the worse option, really. Overt browbeating, or sneaky suggestion? But toy companies were ''very'' keen on the latter....

(Japan, meanwhile, had no qualms about overt toy-shilling in kids' shows seemingly at any point.)

==="Generation 1" (1984-1990)===
[[File:Mtmte2 shermandam.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''''The Transformers''''': This one scene has been referenced ''endlessly''.]]
[[File:Brainmasters victory cartoon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''''Victory''''': Generally held as the best of the Japanese-original ''Transformers'' shows.]]

Jumping on the brand-new "advertainment" bandwagon of the early 80s, [[Hasbro]] teamed up with [[Marvel Comics]] and [[Sunbow Productions]] to produce cartoons for multiple toylines. '''''The Transformers''''' aired in syndication, proving a tremendous success that pushed a ''lot'' of plastic. It even did so well as to get its own [[The Transformers: The Movie|theatrical-release movie]] following the show's second season, though that didn't do so well either box-office-wise or audience-reception-wise. Turns out gruesomely killing off the characters kids were hoping to see kick butt on the big screen is kind of a bad move. A third season of the cartoon following the movie's events aired, but a reduced budget led to much cheaper, uglier animation (a distressingly common occurrence for any cartoon lasting a few seasons back then), finally petering out with a super-short three-episode "season 4" mini-series wrapping things up. Still, it outlasted most of its contemporaries. The cartoon would be repackaged and re-run in syndication for years afterwards, but there wouldn't be new ''Transformers'' animation in the US for nearly a decade.

In Japan, "Generation 1" ''Transformers'' lasted a little longer. [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] brought over the first two seasons in 1985, turning them into a single season under the title '''''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers''''', and it was a runaway success. This was followed by season three, branded '''''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010'''''... which completely bypassed ''The Movie''. A short direct-to-video animation, '''''[[Scramble City: Mobilization]]''''' was produced as a sort-of bridger, but did not offer any insights as to the disappearance of faction leaders [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who had been killed in ''The Movie''. Following the end of the imported US run of cartoons (minus the final three-parter), [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] commissioned three more years of ''Transformers'' cartoons based on their take on the toyline, which diverged pretty heavily from what Hasbro was doing with the brand. These series were much less episodic-status-quo in nature, telling an ongoing story with ramping-up continuity, and timed character reveals with the releases of new toys (toy releases in Japan are much more tightly controlled by the manufacturer than is remotely possible in the US). But come the Nineties, ''Transformers'' was on the downslide there as well, managing only a [[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|single episode "Original Video Animation"]] before being replaced with the ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave]]'' series for Takara-toyline-shilling giant transforming/combining robot television.

By the way, the three Japanese TV series all received ''hilariously'' awful English-language dubs for Asian-market television, via [[Omni Productions]].

===The Beast Era (1996-2001)===
[[File:Beastwarsmaxgroup.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''''Beast Wars''''': A convergence of flukes and hail-Mary plays that is the ''reason any of us are even here right now''.]]
[[File:Newforcesarrive.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''''Beast Wars II''''': Sometimes people remember it exists.]]

In the mid-Nineties, ''Transformers'' returned to television in the US as the radically different '''''Beast Wars''''' cartoon, a CG-animated series produced by the makers of the smash-hit ''ReBoot''. Part of a ground-up re-envisioning of ''Transformers'' to save it from complete cancellation, the series was initially viewed with trepidation at ''best'' by the fandom ([[Trukk not munky|rabid hatred]] was not uncommon). But with a (generally) more mature story told with a mind towards its own internal continuity, as well as increased nods and links to [[The Transformers (franchise)|the past]], all told with state-of-the-art imagery that looked like nothing else on TV, ''Beast Wars'' nowadays is seen by many fans as one of the best ''Transformers'' cartoons ever made, if not ''the'' best, providing new concepts that are now held as ''fundamental'' to what ''Transformers'' is as a concept. But more importantly, it attracted an entirely new audience of kids for whom the Autobots and Decepticons meant nothing. This success translated to a huge spike in toy sales, more than saving ''Transformers'' from extinction and propelling it back to a top-contending toyline. The series would even win several awards, including an Emmy(!), and ran for three seasons, starting in syndication and eventually ending up on the popular [[Fox Kids]] weekday-afternoon/Saturday-morning block.

Takara brought the first season of ''Beast Wars'' to Japan in 1997, where it was a roaring success (ha ha), but the show's much slower production schedule meant Takara needed filler before the rest of the series would be ready to air. Two cel-animated series were ordered to advertise their own ''Beast Wars'' sequel series. These shows were ''much'' lighter and "kiddy" in tone than ''Beast Wars'' (which had also gotten a supremely jokey Japanese dub), and the animation quality was... not good. That many toys were considered far too difficult for the intended age group to properly transform hurt the series further, and ''Transformers'' was back in a slump. In 1999, Takara ported over seasons two and three of the Mainframe series as '''''Beast Wars Metals''''', which are considered ''Beast Wars'' at its prime by much of the fandom... but the well had already been truly poisoned, and ''Metals'' couldn't salvage the ratings and sales.

Back in the US, ''Beast Wars'' was followed up with a direct sequel, '''''Beast Machines''''', which boasted a much improved level of CG animation, but its darker, grimmer tone proved to be a bit of a sour note with audiences. The cartoon was plotted out with a definite, conclusive end to the story in season two, and its intended sequel series, ''[[Transtech]]'', was shelved in its earliest stages of development. Later [[Transformers: Universe (comic)|comics]] would follow up on these events, but as far as television is concerned, this was the end of the original ''Transformers'' cartoon timeline in the US. Takara would delay its airing of ''Beast Machines'' for four years, and then gave it only a limited release. In the meantime, in 2000, Takara chose to reboot ''Transformers'' with an all-new series.

===''Car Robots / Robots in Disguise'' (2000-2002)===
[[File:Rid9.JPG|right|thumb|250px|'''''Robots in Disguise''''': Remembered fondly, if almost solely for these doofuses.]]

With the "Beast" shows in a downward spiral of ratings and toy sales, Takara tried to salvage the brand for the new millennium with '''''Car Robots''''', a new reboot series starring modern-vehicle Autobots with beast-bot Predacons, set in the modern age. The series was originally given no concrete ties to previous continuity, starring an entirely new cast of characters, likely to try and keep as much distance from the prior failed series as possible. Unfortunately, the ploy didn't work, and for many of the same reasons, including a disconnect between the very young age group the cartoon was aimed at and the complexity of the toys it was advertising. ''Car Robots'' didn't do well in the ratings, and the toy sales similarly were disappointing.

Both Hasbro and Takara saw this as a time to re-work just what they were doing with ''Transformers'', and began to coordinate on a new, unified version of the brand. In the interim, Hasbro ported the series over as '''''Robots in Disguise''''' in 2001, airing on Fox Kids six days a week... where it would do considerably better than it did in Japan, both in ratings and in toy sales. The dub was headed up by [[Saban Entertainment]], and retained the original series' generally jokey nature, though now it littered with references to prior ''Transformers'' series not present in the original script.

Takara, on the other hand, let ''Transformers'' lapse for a few years, shifting to the ''Dennō Bōkenki Webdiver'' giant robot series for kids, and focusing more on collector-oriented nostalgia lines for ''Transformers''.

===The Unicron Trilogy (2002-2006)===

[[File:Cyb ep51 til all are one.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''''Cybertron''''': Ending the anime era on an okay, if not great, note.]]
Still riding the anime boom in the US, Hasbro and Takara coordinated on the next several years of mainline ''Transformers'' toys and cartoons, with Takara handling the cartoon duties. Now airing on [[Cartoon Network]], '''''Transformers: Armada''''' was another continuity reboot, where the Autobots and Decepticons are summoned to Earth following the reawakening of a lost race of power-enhancing Transformers, the [[Mini-Con]]s. This was followed by two direct sequels, both out of Japan, and both mixing CG robots with hand-drawn humans. All three series ultimately focused on the monster planet [[Unicron]], which would in time give the series the "[[Unicron Trilogy]]" monicker.

Unfortunately, the Unicron Trilogy cartoons stumbled out of the gate and never ''really'' recovered until the very end. Due to Cartoon Network's stringent scheduling demands, ''Armada'' and '''''Energon''''' were rushed to air in the US with unfinished animation (not that the "finished" animation later aired in Japan was really any improvement, reportedly being animated by the lowest bidder) and atrociously quick-and-dirty dubbing, with there sometimes being a mere 24 hours between "get the untranslated script from Japan" and "the voice actors are in the booth to record now". None of this was helped with storylines that meandered aimlessly for several episodes. ''Energon'', in particular, was poorly translated into English, featured terrible CGI animation, and mediocre English voice acting. The final series, '''''Cybertron''''', fared better with a more relaxed dubbing period (as it aired in Japan first) and higher production values, but the damage had still been done. Despite the cartoons' issues, toy sales were still steady, and ''Armada'' sold well on the strength of its [[gimmick]]s and the popularity of the tiny Mini-Cons. But anime no longer packed the punch it used to, and Hasbro was ready to change gears.

This also marked the end of Takara (now TakaraTomy following a merger) being the company to lead the direction of ''Transformers'' television animation.

===''Transformers Animated'' (2007-2010)===
[[File:Megatron Rising 2 Autobots assemble.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''''Animated''''': Back on the quality upswing.]]
Hasbro and Takara worked together with Cartoon Network to co-develop the next series, '''''Transformers Animated''''', seeing the Autobots and Decepticons heavily re-imagined in the style of action-adventure cartoons like ''Teen Titans'', a deliberate shift away from the look of the [[Transformers (film)|big live-action movie]] also coming out in 2007. Many people who worked on ''Teen Titans'' in particular coordinated with Hasbro and Takara's crews on the character designs, resulting in toys that matched their animated counterparts to an astounding degree. Like with ''Beast Wars'', the initial response was [[ruined FOREVER|far from favorable]], but once again, the turnaround was swift and ''Animated'' remains a favorite series for many fans to this day. The show did well ratings-wise and toy-sales-wise, running three seasons with some early plans for a fourth season in the works, but friction over scheduling, and a general desire to have more control over their entertainment, would lead Hasbro to break ties with Cartoon Network and start anew.

''Animated'' was brought to Japan in 2010(!), though heavily edited to allow for longer intro/outro segments, plus a live-action shameless toy commercial segment, plus a few episodes never aired at all.

As part of a big push to become an "IP house" instead of just a mere toymaker following the runaway success of the ''Transformers'' movies, Hasbro joined with the Discovery Channel to form the [[Hub Network]], a new family channel full of Hasbro-funded shows, Hasbro's back catalog of shows, and some actual new not-Hasbro-toy-shilling programming (some of which was actually really good). Naturally, the big name in its lineup was '''''Transformers: Prime''''', the flagship of the new "[[Aligned continuity family|Aligned]]" continuity, using state-of-the-art CG animation, with a style and tone that was heavily influenced by the movies, but with ample ''Animated'' influence to boot. The series premiered well ''before'' its accompanying toyline was released, as part of that whole "we're not just a toy shiller" drive. The series ran for three seasons, with a final [[Predacons Rising (Prime)|TV movie event]] putting a "cap" on the whole thing.

''Prime'' was brought to Japan, once again with a more jokey dub (why? when has that ''ever'' worked out for them?) but ''only'' its first two seasons. The show was also further edited to allow space for ''two'' additional overt toy-selling segments. Some of the third-season ''Beast Hunters'' toys were ported to Japan, but under the banner of the '''''Triple Combination: Transformers Go!''''' toyline, which also had a cartoon... but ''not'' on television. Instead, the ''Go!'' cartoon, a mix of CG with traditional animation, was released on single-episode DVDs packed in with two different boys' magazines in later 2013 through early 2014, and conspicuously focused on the toys unique to ''Go!''.

Hasbro also introduced the '''''Rescue Bots''''' cartoon on Hub as well, as part of the re-launch of the [[Playskool]]-branded [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|''Transformers'' line for preschool kids]]. Amazingly, this series is set in the same continuity/timeline as the older-aimed ''Prime'', though the fine details take a bit of "squint test" to work out. The series was a ''huge'' success both with its intended audience ''and'' older fans, thanks to its light, breezy tone, sense of humor and consistent writing quality, and lasted ''four'' very full seasons... even out-lasting "The Hub" itself, which rebranded to "[[Discovery Family]]" in 2014. In fact, ''Rescue Bots'' holds the record of any ''Transformers'' show for number of episodes produced.

With the Hub not panning out as Hasbro hoped ratings-wise, and Discovery Family now severely downplaying Hasbro content, ''Transformers'' moved back to Cartoon Network for the sequel series to ''Prime'', '''''Robots in Disguise''''' (not to be confused with the 2001 series). Though produced by the same animation house, the series looks near-nothing like ''Prime'', being much lighter in tone, using bright cel-shaded CG with slightly lower frame-rate to make it look more hand-animated, and a more 5-to-11-years-old-aimed story than the often-grim ''Prime''. Despite getting Cartoon Network's usual less-than-great timeslots for anything not produced in-house, ''Robots in Disguise'' lasted three seasons with a "season 2.5" mini-series as well. TakaraTomy brought ''Robots in Disguise'' to Japan as '''''Transformers Adventure''''', this time nigh-simultaneously with the US release, and ''once again'' only aired the first two seasons (including "season 2.5")... though at least the show was originally written so each season-ending episode could also serve as a series-ender. Following this, it appears that TakaraTomy has given up on ''Transformers'' on normal television, as there's been no announcements of any new series, imported or original, since 2016.

By 2018, Hasbro was changing its strategy with ''Transformers'', moving towards a "unified brand" presentation with a much more consistent design for its main cast across all media (at least, in the media it had more control of, AKA "not the live-action movies"), including rebooting both the cartoons and [[comics]]... with one exception. The new kids' series '''''Rescue Bots Academy''''' was a direct sequel to ''Rescue Bots'' from many of that series' main writers/producers, with many of the main characters from the prior series returning... but not their voice actors, because ''Academy'' did follow the relaunch suit by moving to a less-expensive production and non-union voice casting, as well as shortening the length of episodes to 15 minutes. In concession to the brand overhaul, previous characters like [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] were redesigned to line up with their concurrent ''Cyberverse'' iterations (see below).

===''Cyberverse'' (2018-current)===
[[File:Eruption-AutobotsRollOut.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''''Cyberverse''''': Effectively an online-only show.]]

2018 saw Hasbro push for a "unified brand look", changing much of its toyline and media output visually to a more singular vision of the brand, as well as... less-costly animation production studios and voice-over. Thus, Hasbro rebooted the main "kids" series once again with the '''''Cyberverse''''' cartoon, a ''different'' cel-shaded CG series focusing on [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and making use of Hasbro's Generation 1-inspired "[[evergreen]]" character designs. On top of that, the series moved to a 15-minute format, following the trend in kids' media for shorter chunks of cartoon... plus near-simultaneous (and occasionally early) release online via the Cartoon Network site and YouTube, since the actual daytime Cartoon Network schedule is primarily reserved for in-house productions, leaving most "outside" programming to air in the buttcrack of the morning. In ''contrast'' to most other 15-minute shows, ''Cyberverse'' is heavily serialized, with the events of episodes flowing into one another to an extent not really seen since the end of the Unicron Trilogy. While fan reception was lukewarm at first, many were ultimately won over by the show's repeated introduction of new and fan-favorite characters, as well as the compelling story arc featured in the show's third and final season. ''Cyberverse'' has since been imported to Japan and released exclusively via online outlets.

Meanwhile in China, the ''Cyberverse'' assets got used in an all-new television cartoon scheduled for 2020 via [[China Central Television]], '''''Nezha: Transformers'''''. This series combines the tale of the Transformers with the legend of the god Nezha... who can now take transforming-robot form, as can many of his allies and enemies. Unfortunately, little is known about this series so far, including what ties it has to ''Cyberverse'' fiction outside of model re-use.

[[File:CombinerWarsTheFallScreen.JPG|right|thumb|250px|'''''Combiner Wars''''': Occasionally had Combiners in it.]]
Of course, there are many "smaller" serialized cartoons in ''Transformers'' history, most of them either packed-in with toys or released through online outlets. For the most part, these are intended to advertise "side" lines rather than a "main" series, and almost never air on TV... but again, there are notable exceptions.

Possibly the most ambitious of these non-televised series is the '''''Prime Wars Trilogy''''' of short cartoons produced by [[Machinima]], released between 2016 and 2018 based on the collector-aimed ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toys. These sequential shorts were aimed at adult collectors, with darker storylines. While big on Facebook, the reception from the more dedicated fan-base, especially those who'd had years of "adult" ''Transformers'' content through [[IDW Publishing]]'s widely-praised [[comics]], was...considerably less than glowing, with complaints of stilted, lifeless animation, sub-par voice acting, and try-hard grimdark nonsensical plotting. A new series based on the '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy''''', helmed by the same showrunner and produced by [[Rooster Teeth]], premiered on [[Netflix]] in July 2020, with two additional seasons following over the next year.

The next ''Transformers'' cartoon, a comedy series based on the '''''BotBots''''' toyline, is set to release on Netflix at the end of 2021, while another series is currently scheduled for a 2023 premiere on [[Nickelodeon]].

Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)

2021-04-11T05:47:54Z

Toyeticollector: /* Figure Packs */

{{Nav-RescueBots}}
The ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' toyline is released under [[Hasbro]]'s [[Playskool Heroes]] brand, the latest of many ''Transformers'' lines to be aimed at the preschool demographic.

Beginning in late [[2011]], the ''Rescue Bots'' toyline's initial offerings are noticeably divergent from [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|the cartoon]] that they inspired, featuring different robot stylings and a mostly different human cast. By year two (the line's ''Energize'' refresh), the line began to line up more stylistically with the cartoon, eventually adding toys based directly on in-show characters.

The line was later succeeded by the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy]]'' toyline.

==Standard retail toys==
===Rescue Bots===
* Released from 2011–2013, 2018.
The original ''Rescue Bots'' assortment consists of [[autotransformation|autotransforming]] figures, which can hold Rescue Gear in robot mode. These figures are larger than the later "mainline" toys. For the ''Energize'' [[subline imprint]], the original toys were partially [[redeco]]ed in clear blue plastic, and [[retool]]ed to include new rescue tools and additional [[5 mm post|5mm ports]] to hold them in vehicle mode.

In 2018, long after being replaced by smaller "Rescan" figures (see below), this pricepoint made a limited comeback (under the same Hasbro assortment number, no less), with the four core characters being re-released in new, more cartoon-inspired decoes. These releases retained the new accessories and other tooling from the ''Energize'' versions, and, curiously, the same individual product numbers too.

===Rescan Series===
Premiering in 2014, the smaller Rescan figures replaced the Rescue Bot assortment as the core product for the line. The assortment's name derives from the fact that the 2014 line-up gave the ''Rescue Bots'' cast new [[alternate mode]]s for the first time, although new figures of their original forms were eventually introduced over the years.

===Beam Box Game System===
Released in 2013, the [[Beam Box]] Game System is a basic video games console, inspired by the popular ''{{w|Skylanders}}'' model. The player places a static ''Rescue Bots'' figure into the eponymous "Box" and pushes a button, "transporting" the character into the video game. The "Expandable Starter Pack" includes the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BeamBox|Optimus Prime]] figure.

===''Mixable, Mashable Heroes!''===
Branded as ''Rescue Bots'', presumably due to the ''Playskool'' connection, this line of ''Transformers''-themed ''{{w|Mr. Potato Head}}'' toys is entirely unrelated to the rest of the line. Lotsa figures of Mr. Potato Head in different scales, dressing up as... [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] characters, with ''Rescue Bots'' characters finally getting into the mix late into the line (and barely hitting US retail).

Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)

2021-04-11T02:51:06Z

Toyeticollector: /* Mixable, Mashable Heroes! */

{{Nav-RescueBots}}
The ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' toyline is released under [[Hasbro]]'s [[Playskool Heroes]] brand, the latest of many ''Transformers'' lines to be aimed at the preschool demographic.

Beginning in late [[2011]], the ''Rescue Bots'' toyline's initial offerings are noticeably divergent from [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|the cartoon]] that they inspired, featuring different robot stylings and a mostly different human cast. By year two (the line's ''Energize'' refresh), the line began to line up more stylistically with the cartoon, eventually adding toys based directly on in-show characters.

The line was later succeeded by the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy]]'' toyline.

==Standard retail toys==
===Rescue Bots===
* Released from 2011–2013, 2018.
The original ''Rescue Bots'' assortment consists of [[autotransformation|autotransforming]] figures, which can hold Rescue Gear in robot mode. These figures are larger than the later "mainline" toys. For the ''Energize'' [[subline imprint]], the original toys were partially [[redeco]]ed in clear blue plastic, and [[retool]]ed to include new rescue tools and additional [[5 mm post|5mm ports]] to hold them in vehicle mode.

In 2018, long after being replaced by smaller "Rescan" figures (see below), this pricepoint made a limited comeback (under the same Hasbro assortment number, no less), with the four core characters being re-released in new, more cartoon-inspired decoes. These releases retained the new accessories and other tooling from the ''Energize'' versions, and, curiously, the same individual product numbers too.

===Rescan Series===
Premiering in 2014, the smaller Rescan figures replaced the Rescue Bot assortment as the core product for the line. The assortment's name derives from the fact that the 2014 line-up gave the ''Rescue Bots'' cast new [[alternate mode]]s for the first time, although new figures of their original forms were eventually introduced over the years.

Protihex

2021-03-10T15:20:13Z

Toyeticollector: "Protihex was a the second-largest city" -> "Protihex was the second-largest city"

[[File:War Within Preview Protihex.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb]]
'''Protihex''' is one of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s many [[Polities of Cybertron|city-states]] and spans the '''Sector Six-Zero''' or '''Sector Zero-Six''' area. It neighbors one or more of the following city-states: [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], [[Uraya]], and [[Praxus]], making it a candidate for the city-states the [[Tri-Torus Loop]] leads to. Also, it just might be located above the [[Well of All Sparks]].

It is sometimes spelled '''Protohex'''.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 continuity===
====Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity====
*'''Locations'''
**An Autobot command post

Protihex was one of the Tri-Peninsular Torus States, along with [[Praxus]] and [[Uraya]], and came through the first half a million years of [[Great War (G1)|war]] relatively well. This was in part due to the Autobots taking control of the city-state upon their first victory over the Decepticons in 200.000 years. Protihex's fortune changed [[Dreamwave timeline|8.2 million years ago]], {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} shortly after [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] became the new [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]], when [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] had [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] dispatched to unmake Protihex's Autobot command post. It was a move of little tactical importance, but necessary to keep the Autobots from finding out what the Decepticons were [[Planetary engine|really up to]]. Also, it kept Starscream from finding out and interfering with what Megatron was really up to. {{storylink|The War Within issue 2|The War Within #2}}

While flying over [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], the [[Seeker (body-type)|three Seekers]] spotted [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] brooding over Optimus Prime's decision to evacuate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Believing that Grimlock was a natural born killer, Starscream gave Grimlock their whole mission profile to attack Protihex and challenged him to make the definitive choice: warn the command post and stick with the Autobots, or help in the assault and rejoin the Decepticons.

The Seekers proceeded to Protihex, but found the command post cleared of Autobots and useful data. Their presence tripped a message from Grimlock on the monitors, which informed them of his decision to stay with the Autobots. With that, a bomb that had been placed exploded, which utterly destroyed the command post. {{storylink|The War Within Preview}} Skywarp barely managed to [[Teleportation|warp]] the three of them out in time. Unwinding on the streets of Protihex, Starscream went on a rant about Megatron's sadism, claiming it was all Megatron's fault. His comrades, in turn, blamed Starscream for his boneheaded decision to tell the enemy of their plans. Having wasted too much time with the [[Air Commander]] already, Skywarp and Thundercracker returned to [[Kolkular]], leaving Starscream behind to continue his analysis alone. {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}}

{{note|In "[[Conflagration]]", the area of the battle against [[The Fallen]] and the [[Chaos Trinity]] is indicated by a narrative box to be in Protihex. A few pages later, [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] claims the fight is happening in [[Altihex]]. The following paragraph may thus describe events that have not taken place in Protihex. Some two million years later during the [[Dark Ages]], the Decepticons under command of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] tracked the Chaos Trinity to Protihex and declared them under arrest for endangering the entire planet. Aided by the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]] and the [[Autobot]]s, the Decepticons defeated the Chaos Trinity. The temporary alliance followed the access shaft the Chaos Trinity had been guarding to a gate protecting the [[Well of All Sparks]]. On the other side, the captives of The Fallen had already taken measures to stop him. When the alliance finally got in, the threat had been dealt with and it was decided to seal up the gate again, this time with a lock for each faction so that whatever was in that room could not be misused by any of them. {{storylink|Conflagration}}}}

====2005 IDW continuity====
In ancient times, Protohex was ruled by [[Septimus Prime]] and his [[Supplicants of Arrius]], who forced their subjects to fight in brutal gladiatorial games in a coliseum. Septimus was slain when [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] conquered Protohex, absorbing it into his [[Darklands]]. The coliseum was razed and the freed gladiators, including [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], joined Megatronus. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} As such, Galvatron's name was recorded as "Galvatron of Protohex" on the inscription on the [[Ark-1 Memorial Grounds|first ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s memorial]]. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc}}

The modern Protihex was one of the Tri-Peninsular Torus States. One time before the war, an electrical storm hit the three states, and as it passed close to Protihex and Praxus, it interrupted [[Iaconian Newsfeed Service|newsfeeds]] and scrambled communications in [[Rodion]]. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 2}}

====''Beast Wars: Uprising''====
[[Image:Derailment Operation Amputation.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0]]
Protihex was the second-largest city on Cybertron, sprawling over the planet's south pole and overseen by the immobile [[Builder of Cybertron|Builder]] [[Icepick (G1)|Icepick]]. During the [[Grand Uprising]], it fell to the [[Resistance]] thanks to [[Psycho-Orb]], who launched a bloodless coup against his supervisors by locking the Builders out of the computer network. Before long, it had become known as the "crown jewel of the Resistance" and a major staging ground for future campaigns. More alarmingly, Protihex's old [[Games (competition)|Games]] arena had been repurposed into a mockery of ancient [[Earth]], where [[Micromaster]] POWs were forced to fight for the amusement of the Maximals and Predacons. {{storylink|Safe Spaces}} Upon the start of the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]], [[K-Class]] [[Maximal]] [[Movor]] was dispatched aboard the ''[[Dreadrock]]'' to sterilize Protihex. Unfortunately, the swarming [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] hordes forced an early deployment, and consequently Movor's detonation failed to wipe out the infestation. {{storylink|Derailment}}

===Live-action film series===
Protihex is surrounded by the area where [[Oracle Tank|the Oracle]] is located, the area containing the [[Tower of Pion|Pion Tower]], [[Uraya]], [[Primus]], and the area where the [[Tri-Torus Loop]] is located. {{storylink|Risk: Cybertron War Edition|Risk}}

Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)

2020-10-13T18:21:26Z

Toyeticollector: Us->US

{{Nav-RescueBots}}
The ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' toyline is released under [[Hasbro]]'s [[Playskool Heroes]] brand, the latest of many ''Transformers'' lines to be aimed at the preschool demographic.

Beginning in late [[2011]], the ''Rescue Bots'' toyline's initial offerings are noticeably divergent from [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|the cartoon]] that they inspired, featuring different robot stylings and a mostly different human cast. By year two (the line's ''Energize'' refresh), the line began to line up more stylistically with the cartoon, eventually adding toys based directly on in-show characters.

The line was later succeeded by the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy]]'' toyline.

==Standard retail toys==
===Rescue Bots===
* Released from 2011–2013, 2018.
The original ''Rescue Bots'' assortment consists of [[autotransformation|autotransforming]] figures, which can hold Rescue Gear in robot mode. These figures are larger than the later "mainline" toys. For the ''Energize'' [[subline imprint]], the original toys were partially [[redeco]]ed in clear blue plastic, and [[retool]]ed to include new rescue tools and additional [[5 mm post|5mm ports]] to hold them in vehicle mode.

In 2018, long after being replaced by smaller "Rescan" figures (see below), this pricepoint made a limited comeback (under the same Hasbro assortment number, no less), with the four core characters being re-released in new, more cartoon-inspired decoes. These releases retained the new accessories and other tooling from the ''Energize'' versions, and, curiously, the same individual product numbers too.

===Rescan Series===
Premiering in 2014, the smaller Rescan figures replaced the Rescue Bot assortment as the core product for the line. The assortment's name derives from the fact that the 2014 line-up gave the ''Rescue Bots'' cast new [[alternate mode]]s for the first time, although new figures of their original forms were eventually introduced over the years.

===Beam Box Game System===
Released in 2013, the [[Beam Box]] Game System is a basic video games console, inspired by the popular ''{{w|Skylanders}}'' model. The player places a static ''Rescue Bots'' figure into the eponymous "Box" and pushes a button, "transporting" the character into the video game. The "Expandable Starter Pack" includes the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BeamBox|Optimus Prime]] figure.

===''Mixable, Mashable Heroes!''===
Branded as ''Rescue Bots'', presumably due to the ''Playskool'' connection, this line of ''Transformers''-themed ''{{w|Mr. Potato Head}}'' toys is entirely unrelated to the rest of the line. Lotsa figures of Mr. Potato Head in different scales, dressing up as... [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] characters, with ''Rescue Bots'' characters finally getting into the mix late into the line (and barely hitting US retail).

*'''Cybertronian Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Blaster rifle

: Based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Optimus Prime transforms from a red, blue, and silver robot into an "armored truck mode." He comes with a hand-held rifle that is held via either of its two [[5 mm post]]s, and can fold up to store in either mode. He features additional 5mm ports on his forearms, roof, and front-wheel panels. Optimus has a stylized sculpted Autobot insignia on his back, as seen in the game, but it is obscured by [[kibble]].

: An undocumented transformation step includes flipping Optimus Prime's knees out in vehicle mode to form a back bumper with tail lights. Oddly, the toy itself and the [[package art]] show Optimus Prime with four fingers on each hand, while he has 5 fingers in the video game. The vehicle mode pictured on the stock photos is minimally mis-transformed: The exhaust pipes have not been rotated to hide the indentations against the vehicle body. The instructions show the rifle being plugged in by its shorter peg, but the packaging depicts the rifle stored by its grip, which keeps the weapon higher off Prime's body, but is also more secure.

:Optimus Prime is part of the first wave of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, but he and Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]] shipped ahead of their two other wavemates via [[Toys"R"Us]].

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#United|Optimus Prime Cybertron Mode]], [[Darkside Optimus Prime (United)|Darkside Optimus Prime]], and ''[[Transformers: Tribute|Tribute]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Tribute|Optimus Prime]]''.

**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[2012]]-[[December 28|12-28]]'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TG01'''
**''Accessories'': "Ion cannon"

: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, Optimus Prime is based on his ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' design, and transforms from a robot to a Cybertronian truck and back. His ion cannon, based on a weapon seen in his concept art, can mount via either of its two 5 mm posts onto ports on his hands, forearms, back, and shoulder smokestacks. The toy is known for being oddly small for an Optimus Prime toy, especially when compared to other toys from the same line. This allows him to be more or less in scale with [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and [[Bruticus (WFC)|Bruticus]] (likewise from the same line), however. Optimus features sculpted fake wheels on his back.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the first wave of Japanese ''Generations'' toys, is noticeably shinier, casting his red and blue plastics in different, metallic shades, having much darker gray and black plastics, coating much of his red plastic in glossy metallic paint, and featuring numerous additional [[Paint operation|paint highlights]], among other deco changes.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Generations|Ultra Magnus]], and was [[redeco]]ed into [[Optimus Prime (KOU)|''Knights of Unicron'' Optimus Prime]].

*'''Matrix of Leadership SDCC Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Gun, magnet, dignity-removing wearable Matrix packaging

: ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#First Edition (2011)|Prime: First Edition]]'' Matrix of Leadership Optimus Prime converts from [[robot mode]] to his [[alternate mode|truck mode]]. He comes with a gun than he can wield with his hands, as well as peg onto his hitch in vehicle mode, with different pegs for either configuration. Similar to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|a previous Optimus Prime toy]], he features some [[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22|faux-kibble]] in the form of his actual windshield chest being covered by sculpted panels featuring his characteristic windshield-chest. His arms are slightly longer than his original design's arms.

:This figure is an [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011. The toy comes in a packaging shaped like the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Prime|Matrix of Leadership]], which one could wear around their neck, preferably at the convention itself, so passers-by can exclaim "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT?" and then try to get one themselves. The Matrix itself comes packaged in a [[Packaging|box]] that is designed to look like Optimus Prime's chest, and opens accordingly. The chest window doors are sealed with a round magnet.

[[File:PrimeFEtoy-SDCCpackaging.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Step 1: Put Optimus Prime toy inside a wearable Matrix. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!]]

: The toy itself is an early release of the Deluxe Class Optimus Prime toy from the later "Entertainment Pack" set (see below).

*'''Optimus Prime vs Megatron: A Rivalry Reborn''' (Entertainment Pack, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

: Entertainment Pack Optimus Prime is a slight redeco of the SDCC figure, with some deco differences between the SDCC release; this version has blue on the faux windows instead of gray and some of the added silver deco on the roof/feet, as well as the yellow paint on his lights. His midriff is also darker. Optimus also comes with a similarly-scaled [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#EntertainmentPack|Megatron]] and PVC figurines of [[Jack Darby#EntertainmentPack|Jack Darby]], [[Miko Nakadai#EntertainmentPack|Miko Nakadai]], and [[Raf Esquivel#EntertainmentPack|Raf Esquivel]].

: Initial distribution of this set was... spotty at best, with most of the stock going to Canada. However, [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] picked up this set, along with most of the "First Edition" line, as part of a ''huge'' block of US market [[exclusive]]s for holiday season 2012.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2011)
**''Number:'' '''001'''
**''Accessories:'' "[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] battle sword", "[[plasma cannon]]", cardboard stand

[[File:TF-Prime-First-Edition-Voyager-Optimus-Prime-(Second-Run).jpg|left|upright=1|thumb|''(Second run pictured)'']]
: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: First Edition'' Voyager-Class toys, Optimus Prime transforms into a truck, with a similar (but more complex) transformation to his previous Deluxe-Class toy, and features a faux-kibble window-chest panel as well as a detailed truck cab interior. He comes with a "Cybertronian battle sword" and a "plasma cannon", either of which can peg into his hands. The cannon also features a 5mm peg-hole on the underside of its barrel, allowing the sword (or any other compatible accessory) to mount there as a bayonet. They are stored in vehicle mode by pegging them onto either the 5mm-compatible trailer hitch or onto each peg-hole beside it, although the [[instructions]] tell [[you]] to peg the sword facing forwards onto the hitch, with the cannon mounting backwards onto one of the side pegs. His trailer hitch ends up on his right robot leg, and he has a fake, sculpted, equally-usable trailer hitch on his left leg. He features a cardboard stand as with all "First Edition" toys, but the weak adhesive used for its flaps means it often has trouble supporting the weight of a Voyager class figure for an extended amount of time, the top caving in as the glue gives way. As Optimus only comes with one plasma cannon and the battle sword, one can buy an extra copy for another.

: He is minimally mistransformed in-package and in the [[Stock photography|stock photo]], as his shoulder guards aren't flipped open. His stock photography also shows his plasma cannon as being solid black, when the final cannon is black speckled with silver paint, with slightly more painted silver details on the tips of the barrels.

:The Japanese release of this figure features slightly different colors for greater [[show-accuracy]], including darker reds and blues, and a more metallic silver plastic.

:Optimus Prime also had a slight assembly problem between the head and the neck's ball joint, which causes it to pop off with some movement. This can be fixed by unscrewing the head halves, then properly snap it back before reattaching. This fix also adds some additional head articulation. Though the instructions tell you to rotate the hands while transforming into vehicle mode, this may result in a very slight gap on the front hood panels. Leaving the hands untransformed can thoroughly shut the gaps.

: The First Edition Voyagers were never released in the US, forcing buyers to import him from Canada or Japan... at first. [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] later picked up this toy, along with most of the "First Edition" line, as part of a ''huge'' block of US market [[exclusive]]s for holiday season 2012. This second run introduced a [[Variant#Colors and deco|deco variant]], in which the red paint on, beside, and below the truck side windows is omitted, revealing the patch of brown plastic underneath. As he is packaged in robot mode, with his front wheels and shoulders covering said patch, the only way to identify which version is which while in the box is by looking at the hinge joints beside his two painted torso lights, with the center portions of the hinges being unpainted brown on the variant. All releases of this mold also have a minor issue with the truck mode windvane/robot mode heels refusing to connect solidly to the truck cab in vehicle mode, leaving a visible gap above Prime's windshield.

: Anyone looking to buy this figure on the aftermarket be warned, there is a premium-looking [[IP theft|knock-off]] that's been making the rounds since October 2019.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyberverse Commander, 2012)
**''Series / Number'': '''2 / 001'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2012-[[March 31|03-31]]'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-01'''
**''Accessories'': 2 "battle cannons"

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 2|Series 2 ''Cyberverse'']] Commander Class toys, Optimus Prime is a smaller-scale toy, and features translucent plastic for his torso so that the toy can be illuminated using the electronic lights featured in the larger playsets. He comes with two translucent "battle cannon" weapons which feature multiple [[C joint|3mm posts and port]]s, allowing them to be held by his hands, or store/mount onto numerous ports on his person. Additionally, he features a 5mm port for a trailer hitch.

:The Hasbro release comes with a pack-in file card. In addition to the regular version, Optimus was also released in a special "advance release" assortment alongside [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Cyberverse|Bulkhead]], [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#Cyberverse|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (WFC)#Cyberverse|Starscream]], with each figure including a mini-DVD that contains the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' episode "[[Masters & Students]]". Yes, all four of them come with the same episode.

:Like many other modern toys, Optimus was designed with an alternate head sculpt (based on the [[mouthplate]]-less face as seen on the show) intended for a later retool, which was [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the original head. At least one specimen sporting the mouthplate-less head has been found at retail, although since this occurrence has seemingly been limited to an isolated incident, it can be assumed to be a [[quality control|manufacturing error]] rather than a genuine [[variant]].<ref name="cvvari">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/cyberverse-optimus-prime-unmasked-variant-174184/ TFW2005 reporting] on the head sculpt "variant" for Cyberverse Commander Class Optimus Prime.</ref> The mouthplate-less head sculpt ''was'' eventually used officially for a later-[[wave]] redeco, Nightwatch Optimus Prime (see below).

:Take note that the leg construction (thigh parts with legs consists of rear wheels/fifth wheel hitch & engine compartment/flip out legs combination) can become loose after a long time of play due to being used with transformation. Also, the legs did not seem to securely connect due to the hitch's shallow holes & the front half of the legs' small pegs. Also, attaching weapons with 3mm posts on the Battle Cannons' holes can cause some stress marks.

:This sculpt was later retooled to make ''Beast Hunters Cyberverse'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#BHCyberverse|Ultra Magnus]].

: Part of the third wave of ''Prime Cyberverse'' Commander Class toys, Nightwatch Optimus Prime is a redeco of Series 2 ''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime, using the faceplate-less head sculpt that is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the original head. His blue plastic is now gray, his smokestacks and thighs are left unpainted, he loses the Autobot insignia on his right forearm/door, and he gains yellow paint highlights for his eyes and lights, along with various other minor deco differences. Instead of the original release's cannons, he now comes with a pair of swords, which each have a pair of 3mm posts for wielding/mounting.

**''Accessories'': 2 "battle cannons"

: This redeco of Optimus Prime uses the faceplate-less version of the mold's head, and replaces his red plastic with a metallic shade (including the ''tires''), among other minor deco changes. Apart from this, the metallic red paint on the side cabins/backpack & the front windows/chest does not match with the metallic red plastic.

:He was only available in a TakaraTomy ''[[EZ Collection]]'' six-pack with [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#EZ6pack|Bumblebee]], [[Ratchet (WFC)#EZ6pack|Ratchet]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)#EZ6pack|Bulkhead]], [[Arcee (WFC)#EZ6pack|Arcee]], and [[Wheeljack (Prime)#EZ6pack|Wheeljack]].

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: [[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 3|Series 3 ''Cyberverse'']] Commander Class toys, Optimus Prime is an all-new mold. He now transforms into a monstrous, flat-nosed truck with spiky fenders at the front and a cage compartment at the back, and comes with the Thunder Lance and Star Saber. Each of the weapons features two differently-placed 3mm posts, allowing them to be held by his hands, or mount onto two ports on the rear vehicle sides, as well as allowing the lance to additionally be used as a pressure-fired missile launcher.

: Undocumented in the instructions, Optimus Prime's front fenders can flip up or down. Probably due to the very small eye holes or a rare case of paint error; All of the copies had the bright metallic blue paint applied onto his lower eye sockets as well. This is present to all of the redecoes below. Likewise, a sculpting/molding issue is present to ''all'' releases of this mold: The lower section of his faceplate is ''slightly'' lopsided.

: Part of the "[[Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising|Predacons Rising]]" [[subline imprint]], Optimus Prime is a redeco of his Series 3 ''Cyberverse'' Commander Class toy in a color scheme inspired by [[Thunder Clash]], including a version of the latter's peculiar chest insignia. He comes in a two-pack with a purple and black redeco of Commander Class [[Predaking (Prime)#Target2pack|Predaking]].

: Like all ''Predacons Rising'' releases, the Optimus Prime/Predaking two-pack was [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores in the United States and Canada and to [[Tesco]] stores in the UK, and is also supposed to be exclusive to Carrefour elsewhere in Europe (presumably in France and/or Spain, though there have been no sightings as of yet). It has also been found at Rossmann drug stores in Germany and Ripley stores in Chile and popped up at BigW stores in Australia ''much'' later, in mid-2014. Also, like all ''Predacons Rising'' multi-pack redecos of ''Beast Hunters'' Cyberverse figures, the ''Cyberverse'' logo is nowhere to be found on the packaging.

: A Bic Camera and Joshin Kids' Land exclusive, this redeco is the first release of the ''Prime: First Edition'' Deluxe class Optimus Prime figure in Japan, featuring a slightly lighter hue of red (the [[stock photography]] provided by TakaraTomy, showed Orion Pax's red plastic features more pink than its original toy, this seems to have been a trick of the lighting or a photoshop), and greyish blue plastic. He features several customer-applied foil stickers, including Decepticon insignias of varying sizes.

**''Accessories'': Battle blaster/Cannon & battle sword (Hasbro only), "O.P." Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Voyager Class toys, Optimus Prime is a new, smaller, slightly more [[Articulation|articulated]] mold, and is the first mainline ''Prime'' Optimus Prime figure released ''not'' to have fake windshield windows on his chest, though they're upside-down relative to truck-mode.

: He now comes with a half-translucent gun which lights up and expands [[MechTech]]-style when the lever is pulled. Bizarrely, the main section of the weapon is sculpted to resemble Prime's forearm, with the unfolding part being his in-show gun. Additionally, he comes with an opaque sword resembling the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], which he can wield two-handed. The gun features a peg on its underside and a port on each side, while the sword features a peg and peg-hole on its hilt in addition to its 5mm handle. In robot mode, either accessory can mount on his hands, on either of his shoulders, or be pegged into either of his half-translucent forearms. In vehicle mode, the top of the vehicle mode cab can also fold back to reveal two additional peg holes, and there are three peg holes (including the fifth wheel hitch) on the back section, although the hitch tends to open up and not hold very well.

: Unlike previous Voyager Class MechTech weapons, the gun cannot be set to stay expanded. This means that Prime is forced to threaten Decepticons with a random block of parts, unless you want to use one of your hands to permanently unfold his weapon.

: The [[TakaraTomy]] release of Optimus Prime has considerable differences from the [[Hasbro]] release. His blue and red plastics are darker and metallic, his translucent blue plastic is darker, and a few of his [[paint operation]]s have been omitted and replaced with customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s, such as his shins, feet, headlamps, and [[insignia]]s. His legs, outer forearms and truck mode "sleeper cabin" side panels have been [[retool]]ed to include [[5 mm post]]-holes as part of the line-wide "[[Arms Micron]]" gimmick. As such, he does not come with the Hasbro version's weapons, but instead an Arms Micron partner named [[O.P.]] who transforms into a weapon resembling Optimus's in-show blaster cannon. This version of the mold was also used to make ''Prime'' [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]].

: The Hasbro version of the mold was retooled to make ''Beast Hunters'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Ultra Magnus]], using the forearms of the TakaraTomy version.

: AM-01 Optimus was also part of a special Arms Micron promotion. Between [[March 1]]st and [[March 30]]th 2012, those who pre-ordered Optimus online from through one of four different web sites ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon Japan]], [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]], Bic Camera, and Yodobashi Camera) received the bonus promotional Micron [[Firebolt (Prime)|Firebolt]] with their Prime.

: [[Exclusive]] to Japanese [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores, this [[redeco]] of AM-01 Optimus features warmer, metallic shades of plastic, replaces the gray plastic around his windshield-chest with red, and replaces the clear-blue plastics with clear-black. He comes with the Hasbro version's battle sword, which is now a darker, warmer shade. For Arms Microns, he now comes with [[O.P.#Gray|O.P.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Weaponizer, 2012)
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2012-[[September 29|09-29]]'''
**''Japanese Number:'' '''AM-21'''
**''Accessories'': Rifle (Hasbro only), "R.A." Arms Micron & Matrix Blade (TakaraTomy only)

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Weaponizer Class toys, Optimus Prime is a large toy, similar in size to Leader Class figures from previous ''Transformers'' toylines. He features a simpler transformation and design compared to previous Leader-sized figures, with him having fake chest windows (again) and a simplified, hollow truck rear where his feet, arms, and fake chest windows are plainly visible. He comes with a blaster that can mount onto his hands, shoulder-pads, and the sides of his legs/truck rear.

: His ''main'' gimmicks, however, are the two large, blue-and-white mini-guns hidden in his back/hood, which can deploy and "weaponize" either mode. When deployed, the mini-guns swing out from his back/hood and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. The mini-guns swing down to the sides of his head in robot mode, and can also be deployed in vehicle mode when one manually opens the grille. Pushing down on the red lever on the center his torso (in either mode) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into their hiding places.

: The Hasbro version of this mold was retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Platinum Edition|Ultra Magnus]].

: The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the seventh wave of Japanese ''Prime'' toys, is dubbed '''Arms Master Optimus''', uses darker, metallic plastics, casts the backs of his thighs in metallic red, replaces his metallic silver paint with glossy gray, and replaces a few of his paint operations with customer-applied foil stickers, such as his insignias, shins, headlamps, the ''tiny'' yellow lights on his torso, and the blue deco on his truck panel sides. He has also been retooled with additional 5mm pegs for his thighs, roof, and lower backpack, as well as ports for his forearms, shoulders, smokestacks, fuel tanks, and roof. Instead of the rifle, he comes with a very large [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#ArmsMaster|Matrix]] which can tab onto his chest as armor or mount onto the back of the truck cab, with the Matrix also being covered in 5 mm posts and holes so that Arms Microns can be attached to it. He additionally comes with a clear-blue "Shining" version of the Arms Micron, [[R.A.#ArmsMaster|R.A.]], who can combine with the Matrix to form the colossal [[Star Saber (Prima)#ArmsMaster|Matrix Saber]].

: Like Battle Shield Optimus, a larger version of the cardboard trailer unit is also given away for customers during the promotional period offered by Yodobashi Camera and Bic Camera.

**''Series/Number'': '''2 / 001'''
**''Accessories:'' Two "Ionic Pulse Launchers"/"Eaglefire Missile Launchers", two missiles, [[Star Saber (Prima)#BHVoyager|Star Saber]]

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Voyager Class toys, Optimus Prime is a larger, all-new mold. He also transforms into a monstrous, flat-nosed truck, but differs from his Cyberverse toy by having a faceplate-less mouth, and by being equipped with a large four-winged backpack in robot mode. He features a 5mm port for each of his hands, one on his backpack, one near each of his front wheels, and one on each of his two upper wings.

:He comes with the Star Saber, which has a 5mm handle and a post on its hilt, as well as two spring-loaded, missile-firing "[[Ionic Pulse Launcher]]s" (which are called "Eaglefire Missile Launchers" in the instructions). The launchers each feature a 5 mm post, have flip open prods, and can peg onto the ports near the wheels on his robot back, giving him a pair of back-mounted rocket engines.

:Some units have a waist [[Swivel joint|swivel]] that is somehow fixed in place, and is unable to rotate. His packaging stock photography also depicts translucent green missiles that are opaque light-gray in the final product. His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 5|fifth chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

:He was redecoed into ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' Hunter Optimus Prime and ''Go!'' [[Hunter Nemesis Prime]]. This toy also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Galvatron (BWII)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Galvatron]].

*'''Beast Hunter Optimus Prime''' (Ultimate, 2013)
**''Accessories:'' Dragon-hunting sword, dragon-hunting shield, five missiles

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Ultimate Class toys, Beast Hunter Optimus Prime is larger than the average Weaponizer or Leader Class toy, and comes with a sword and shield which can mount via 5 mm post in various ways on his hands, forearms, and legs.

:His main [[gimmick]], however, is his quintet of "[[Firebreath Cyclocannons]]"—spring-loaded dragon-headed missile launchers mounted on an ornate, rotating circular contraption attached to his back/roof. Turning the handle on top makes the backpack rotate and cycle through each cannon, and pressing the handle's button will trigger and fire whatever cannon is at the top/front. When the cannons are cycled through in robot mode, his eyes and windshield-chest light up, and one can alternatively rotate (but not fire) the cannons and activate his light-up features by pushing down on the fake spiky fenders on his stomach. Out of the package, the handle itself comes detached to allow the rest of the toy to fit.

:His stock photography depicts his three green missiles as translucent, when they are opaque in the final product. His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 17|seventeenth chapter]] of the ''Tales of the Beast Hunters'' series. This toy was originally announced at UK Toy Fair 2013 as "Dragon Disc Optimus Prime".

:His sword would later be reused for Unite Warriors [[Grand Scourge#Unite Warriors|Grand Scourge]]'s [[Matrix Breaker]] Sword, and [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generations|Arcee]]'s [[Combiner Slayer]] from the SDCC Exclusive Combiner Hunters set.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2014)
**''Series/Number'': '''3 / 001'''
**''Accessories:'' Nexus Sword, Vector Shield, cannon, missile

: Part of the first wave of ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 Voyager Class toys, Optimus Prime is functionally an upsized copy of his ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 ''Cyberverse'' toy, though with certain sculpted details based on his larger toys, the replacement of his ball joints with more robust [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s, the addition of thigh [[Swivel joint|swivel]]s, and various deco differences. As a result, his complexity is lower than in his previous Voyager Class toys, but he ends up being much, ''much'' more massive.

:For accessories, he comes with (according to his bio) "the ancient weapons of the Primes", such as his Nexus Sword (a reference to [[Nexus Prime]]), the Vector Shield (an upscaled, non-transforming version of the shield from his [[#BBladeCyberverse|''Cyberverse'' "Beast Blade" toy]], and a reference to [[Vector Prime]]), as well as a generic cannon with a pressure-fired missile. All of his accessories can peg into his hands, right forearm, backside, and vehicle sides.

:The Nexus Sword is similar to the one included with the original Voyager ''Beast Hunters'' Optimus Prime toy, but is shorter and less detailed.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)

:Optimus Prime transforms into a red and blue semi truck of likely fictitious origin. In keeping with the simplified [[Transformation|transformation scheme]] of the Rescue Bots line, Optimus Prime transforms from truck to robot when [[Autotransformation|his legs are folded down]], at which point his head, arms, and hands emerge; folding his toes into position will finish the transformation.

:Of note is that on some samples, the head can sometimes lock into position even when the figure is in robot mode; this could be observed simply by walking into a store and seeing multiple "headless" Prime figures. This can occasionally be corrected by pushing down on the back of the panel or tapping the head, thereby releasing it.

: Optimus Prime is heavily based on the large Ultimate class toy with the circular dragon cannons. The large disc rig separates to become two large curved swords while the dragon heads become hand held cannons.

:Like most [[Beast Hunters]] Construct-Bots, this Optimus never saw release in the United States.

:Part of the first wave of TakaraTomy ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' toys, Hunter Optimus Prime is a redeco of the Voyager Class ''Beast Hunters'' Optimus Prime toy. His red and blue plastics are now cast in metallic shades, his translucent green plastic has been replaced with translucent blue, his yellow highlights are more orange-yellow, his yellow-painted side windows are now blue, and his gray plastic is now cast in two different, darker shades. The Matrix Saber, aside from being blue, uses a bluer shade of gunmetal paint for its hilt and handle.

:His packaging stock photography is merely a color-swapped version of Hasbro's stock photos, switching out the green for blue.

*'''Optimus Exprime''' (Voyager, 2014-[[January 25|01-25]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''G26'''
**''Accessories:'' Two large swords, two kabuto helmets/shields

:Part of the eighth wave of TakaraTomy ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' toys, Optimus Exprime is capable of changing from a robot to either a train or (something resembling) a [[Popular beast alternate modes#Dragons|dragon]] and back again. He can also form the torso of either DaiKenzan (with [[Kenzan]] forming the upper torso, head, and arms and [[Gekisoumaru]] forming the legs) or DaiGekisou (With Kenzan and Gekisoumaru reversed from their roles in DaiKenzan).

:While not mentioned in his instructions, the train sections which normally hang off his arms can be reversed and his dragon claws can be flipped out to give him a passable set of combat claws.

:Each of his kabuto helmets forms the head for one of the two combined modes. In addition, either of his kabuto helmets can be connected to his robot mode back (allowing his swords to also be stored on his back), and both can be connected to the rear of his train mode simultaneously. In robot mode or combined mode, his kabuto helmets can be held individually as a shield or combined into an even larger shield.

:Optimus Exprime's electronics are slightly less complex than those of Kenzan and Gekisoumaru. In robot, dragon, and train modes, pressing a button sets off red flashing LEDs and causes him to play one of seven sounds or phrases (which do not change depending on the mode). Pressing and holding the button activates a combination mode similar to the ones found in Kenzan and Gekisoumaru. Optimus Exprime calls on Kenzan and Gekisoumaru to combine with him, and then combination music plays as the LEDs flash blue, purple, and red (with the two halves of his [[Autobot]] [[insignia]] showing different colors!). Completing either combination by snapping the correct kabuto helmet into place ends the combination mode and triggers another phrase.

:Once combined, DaiKenzan has three new phrases (spoken in Kenzan's voice), while DaiGekisou has four (in Gekisoumaru's voice). In either combined form, pressing and holding the button activates an additional, longer phrase for their "final attack". DaiGekisou is armed with a scissors-esque "shuriken" made from combining Optimus Exprime's two swords, while DaiKenzan simply wields them separately.

:Unlike the other [[Swordbot]] toys, Optimus Exprime's kabuto helmets form an integral part of one of his [[alternate mode]]s. The kabuto helmet designed for use with his DaiGekisou combination forms the head of his dragon form, while the kabuto helmet designed for use with his DaiKenzan combination forms the "tail" of the same. He comes with two HUGE swords (with [[5 mm post|5mm]] handles) which can be attached to several places on his kabuto helmets or either alternate form, held separately in his hands, or held both in the same hand (with one held in reverse-grip).

:An additional oddity is that unlike every other toy in the Go! toyline, Optimus Exprime came packaged in a box without a window. This is potentially because of the sheer amount of information TakaraTomy wanted to print on the box, or because they were unable to fit him into the box in robot mode with all of his accessories displayed. Whatever the reason, it left him with a smaller box than the other voyagers in the line, a substantially-altered box layout, and a much shorter profile.

:Adorably, his robot mode feet are molded to resemble itty-bitty versions of his bullet train mode, complete with molded wheels.

:Optimus Exprime's swords were later reused for [[Bludgeon (G1)#Combiner Wars|Figure Subscription Service 4.0 Bludgeon]].

**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Megatron, Security Officer, Tank Driver
**''Accessories'': Energon axe

: This set's Optimusses are based on the ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|incarnation]]. The larger Optimus is a smaller, simpler build than the first big kit, and makes use of ball-and-socket parts for increased articulation. It also carries a spring-loaded missile launcher. The Optimus Kreon's [[tampograph]]s are based directly on the ''Prime'' cartoon model, though he carries an energon axe akin to the one from the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' games. He also has a clear-blue extra "energon" torso piece.

: This set also comes with a [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] tank/robot build, a miniature bank playset with opening/breakaway vault to hold the set's "[[ultimate Dark Energon weapon]]" piece (though it also contains stickers that can make the bank into a museum), and Kreons of ''Prime''-styled Megatron, a human [[Security Officer]] and evil human [[Tank Driver]].

: In this set, both the buildable Optimus Prime and the included Kreon figure are in the style of ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. In addition to the robot mode having a buildable shield and sword, both it and the vehicle build have two firing missile launchers. Additionally, four hands are included, with two possibilities for each arm.

: The large "[[Autobot Command Center]]" playset comes with a multitude of ''Prime''-based Kreons, but he set's Optimus isn't a Kreon, but a brick-built mini-vehicle based on Optimus's truck mode. The truck also features a pressure-fired net launcher, in order to catch the similarly brick-built [[Rippersnapper (Prime)#AutobotCommandCenter|Rippersnapper]] beast.

:The "[[Underbite Jetpack Takedown]]" Optimus Kreon uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Based on his appearance in ''Robots in Disguise'', he features a new version of the Optimus helmet, this time lacking a moutplate. He attaches to an included jet pack, armed with two pressure-launch missiles.

:All of the 2015 Transformers ''Kre-O'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.

:The "[[Optimus Prime Beast Blaster]]" set's Optimus Kreon has a brighter blue, plus uses the original face-plate-having Optimus helmet.

: The main build of the set is a massive vehicle based on Optimus's truck cab, capable of seating a single Kreon in the driver's seat. Pushing the trailer-hitch on the back end towards the cab opens up the front grill, revealing a ''huge'' spring-loaded rocket launcher with rubber-tipped projectile. The cab can also stow the included [[stasis pod]] ussed to lock away the baddies.

: This set suffered the same fate as the rest of the 2015 ''Kre-O'' product, lacking a US release until it filtered into closeout stores in late 2015.

:Part of the sixth wave of Custom Kreons, and the first (and only) ''Robots in Disguise''-themed wave, Optimus Prime uses the new 2015 Kreon construction with the hollow waist-peg and "raised" hands.. He comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his extra pieces. Unlike the previous Custom Kreons, he no longer features a chromed helmet, and comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso, legs, and his arms, plus a chromed Bazooka (originally from the Kre-O Battleship sets), and some kind of a dual pick-axe with a clear red staff.

:Despite what the instructions said, the body piece ''cannot'' be pegged down between the leg parts installed on the display stand. However this can be amended by putting a 2x1 brick piece.

:For some reason: unlike the stock photos (pictured from the right), This Custom Kreon had a slight [[Quality control|QC]] issue to the opaque and transparent helmets: One had two sides sculpted, while the other one has the small flat square sculpt (similar to the details on Hound's helmet) on the right side. Several samples had two different "variants": One with the perfect transparent helmet & a differently-sculpted opaque helmet, while the other one has the opposite.

{{note|Virtually every toy in this list has a scannable [[insignia]] sticker on it. For [[Hasbro]] releases, it temporarily unlocks that toy as a playable character in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], and can only be scanned once per day. [[TakaraTomy]] releases simply check that off on their mobile app's collection list. It's honestly quicker and less redundant to say which toys '''don't''' have this feature.

[[File:RID2015-Legion-Class-Optimus-Prime.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legion Class, 2015/2016)
: Part of the first wave of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] line, Optimus Prime is a smaller-scale toy. He transforms from robot to trailer/truck combination and back! Like every ''Robots in Disguise'' Legion Class toy, Optimus features 3mm posts on his hands and arms. Due to the size and simplified transformation, he ends up having 6 wheels instead of 10. His scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode left shoulder. However, the badge is completely impossible to scan in vehicle mode.

:[[:File:RID2015-Legion-Optimus-Prime.jpg|The prototype images]] showed that Optimus features sharp antennae on his head. This was rounded off [[for safety reasons]] in the final product.

:This mold was redecoed into [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)#Robots in Disguise (2015)|Ultra Magnus]].

:In 2016, the figure saw re-release with the ''[[Combiner Force]]'' packaging. Being the ''tenth'' use of the sculpt at this point, some instances of mold deterioration have affected the figure, including: the vehicle front's bumper (which affects the space on the head/front bumper transformation), the headlights, and/or the legs, and the hole on the left shoulder is also prone to develop a stress mark due to the right shoulder's slightly "thickened" peg. Although the re-released badge didn't seem to unlock Optimus Prime after it was scanned, a later update to the game amended this.

:In December 2018, the Wave 13 reissue of Optimus Prime (along with a reissued Sideswipe, Groundbuster, and a new Twinferno mold) is later available in a 6-day event held by a shop in Malaysia, and in April 2019; He and the entire wavemates is finally released at regular retail...in limited numbers at Popular Book Stores, in a discounted price of RM15.90 (approx $3) as part of the "Must Buy!" offers.

:Also, the ''Combiner Force'' re-release's instructions were erroneously packed with [[Heatseeker#Legion|Heatseeker]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 swords, axe, launcher

:Part of the seventh wave of ''Robots in Disguise'' Warrior class lineup, and the first of the ''Mini-Con Weaponizers'' subline, Power Surge Optimus Prime is a retool of the original Warrior Class Optimus Prime figure, now transforming into a 6-wheeled futuristic trailer truck. Optimus now also comes with a pair of swords, which can be attached to his 5mm-compatible hands or the top of the truck/back port to serve as the robot's wings. Most notably, Power Surge Optimus Prime features retooled truck hood/shoulder parts to makes the hands more evident. As a retool of the original Warrior Class Optimus Prime toy, he retains his axe accessory, albeit unpainted just like the ''Clash of the Transformers'' Warrior Class toy's. His light blue-colored Launcher can be attached onto his collar.

:Like the original Warrior Class Optimus Prime, the figure features an undocumented feature: His axe can be stored on his vehicle mode trailer. Additional features include storing the axe onto either of his leg hooks, combining the launcher with either of the swords at their hilt, and storing the launcher underneath the vehicle. In a neat bit of engineering, he can fully transform with his swords attached.

:Power Surge Optimus Prime's scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode left shoulder. As he's packaged in robot mode, this badge is easily scannable while still in-package. Like his wavemate Bumblebee, this figure eventually saw release in the 11th wave of the Warrior Class line with the "Combiner Force" packaging. His scannable sticker is also altered, but scanning the badge only unlocks Energon currency, but not the character.

*'''Mega Optimus Prime''' (2015)

:Mega Optimus Prime is a new larger-sized mold with the similar [[transformation scheme]] from the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Hyper Change Heroes.2F3-Step Changers|3-Step Changer]] toy. It transforms from truck to robot in just 3 easy steps! His deco is based on his appearance in the season finale "Battlegrounds". He also obtains additional articulation on the arms, and sports connector ports for any ''Robots in Disguise (2015)'' Mini-Con figures.

:Like the 3-step changer figure, his scannable Autobot insignia is on his robot mode chest/truck hood. The badge is easily scannable while in package.

*'''Robots in Disguise Collection''' (6-pack, 2015)

:The new One-Step Optimus Prime toy transforms from a trailer truck into a robot in just one easy step! The toy features a similar transformation to the other [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#OneStep|One-Step Optimus Prime]] and [[Hound (Movie)#Robots in Disguise|One-Step Changer Movie Hound]]. The figure is only available as a "Special Edition Figure" in a 6-pack with the One-Step figures of [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#RIDCollection|Bumblebee]], [[Steeljaw (RID)#RIDCollection|Steeljaw]], [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#RIDCollection|Grimlock]], [[Sideswipe (RID)#RIDCollection|Sideswipe]], and Underbite, all of which are unchanged from their individual releases. This set was exclusive to [[Target]] stores in the United States and to [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in Canada.

:His scannable badge is featured on the left side of his trailer. Like the Legion Class figures, the badge is impossible to be scanned in robot mode. Due to how the legs are molded, Optimus Prime can ride on [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Stomp .26 Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]], but does not activate any of the larger figure's gimmicks.

In the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], it was identified alternatively as an "Advanced One-Step" or "Evolved One-Step" figure depending on the user's region, but on the toy's packaging, no such modifiers are featured, and it is available as part of the regular One-Step Changer assortment.

Like most One-Step Changers, Optimus Prime features limited articulation on the shoulders, and features 5mm compatible hands.

:His scannable badge is on the right side of his vehicle mode's trailer kibble, accessible while in-package. This Optimus cannot ride on [[Grimlock (RID 2015)#Stomp .26 Chomp|Stomp & Chomp Grimlock]] due to how the legs are molded.

**''Accessories'': Battle Axe, 5 armor pieces (combine to form into a weapon)
:Part of the first wave of ''Mini-Con Battle Pack'' figures, this Optimus Prime figure is a new mold, about the size of a Scout Class figure (In Optimus' case, the size of ''Cyberverse'' Commander figure), and scaled with Legion Class figures. Its transformation scheme also takes some cues from the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Legion Class|Legion Class figure]]. Battle Pack Optimus Prime also features a transparent orange battle axe & armor pieces, although the chest armor/flip-up mask piece is needed to be assembled first. The included pieces can be combined into a clawed battle axe, or attached to his body to form his armor (although the flip-up mask can restrict his head articulation). Optimus Prime can totally wield the axe dual-handed. As an undocumented feature, the axe can be stored on his truck mode with the tab featured on Prime's right shoulder.

:The figure seems to have some transformation scheme & design related problems in it: The front truck cab's upper two pieces are supposed to be pushed to the front in robot mode, but the piece keeps collapsing back due to looseness when the figure is standing straight (Though pressing the two halves together firmly tends to reduce this issue for a while), while the tab underneath the truck grill does not connect well with the bottom port. Additionally, his 5mm compatible hands have a slight problem with wielding weapons with short 5 mm posts.

:Optimus Prime was also packaged with [[Bludgeon (RID 2015)|Bludgeon]], a Cyclone Mini-Con which is designed to be launched from the [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] [[Crazybolt (RID)#Toys|Crazybolt]] and [[Overload (RID)#Toys|Overload]] toys.

:His scannable Autobot insignia is in his left shoulder. While accessible in Robot Mode (and in-package), the badge is impossible to be scanned in vehicle mode.

:This mold was also used to make [[Toys"R"Us Prime|Geoffrey Prime]].

:Power Surge Optimus Prime is a new mold, in the size of a Leader Class figure, which transforms in 7 steps. It comes with the [[Mini-Con]] [[Aerobolt]], who transforms from a bird to his chestplate. This triggers electronic lights and sounds, as well as deploying a mask, two shoulder cannons, and a pair of large wings for the larger robot. His front truck kibble can be removed, but you can transform him into vehicle mode with the kibble on.

:The toy was originally solicited as '''Gigawatt Optimus Prime''' in the Robots in Disguise Mobile Game.

* '''Strongarm and Optimus Prime''' (Crash Combiners, 2016/2017)
:Part of the first wave of the ''Combiner Force'' assortment, Optimus is a roughly Scout-class sized figure that changes from his futuristic truck with a combiner chest that doubles as his spoiler into a robot in <s>three</s> four extremely simple steps. His individual robot mode only has limited articulation on his shoulders. He also has a little green arrow above the connector on the truck bumper indicating where to crash him to combine with other figures. A 5 mm post hole on top of his vehicle mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though he cannot use it in his individual robot mode.

:Optimus Prime comes packaged with Strongarm and is intended to combine with her to form Primestrong's upper torso. Connecting them to each other will activate Optimus Prime's automatic transformation, but Strongarm must be converted manually. He can also combine with any other Crash Combiner figure to form a random Combiner.

:Although no scannable badge is located at his robot mode, the badge was located at his combined mode's left shoulder. The badge was impossible to be scanned while in-package due to the obstruction of the spring-loaded combiner chest kibble. Speaking of impossible, the badges on the re-releases of the toy can't be scanned by the game. The instruction sheet amusingly replaces Optimus's last picture in the transformation process with [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]].

Like the previous versions, Optimus Prime can become the top half of any Crash Combiner gestalt, though his official combination is with Grimlock as [[Primelock]].

: The instructions also separated the transformation schemes on the flip-out head and the chest as the 3rd & 4th step. Also, unlike the first toy, Optimus Prime's lower chin is not entirely painted.

:This two-pack was a very late addition to the ''Robots in Disguise'' line, with a Hasbro product code number in the same region as the wave 1 Prime Masters from ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''.

:Available only for the Japanese markets, this Optimus Prime is a new mold that stands in the same height as a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' gestalt, and he transforms from a futuristic trailer truck to robot and back. The figure features 3 gimmicks:
:*Pressing the button on his robot mode chest activates the red lights (well, because the blue ones are expensive for the price point) on his chest, and the sounds and voice phrases (provided by [[Taitem Kusunoki]]) were played along with the light-up gimmick. Pressing the button for a few seconds will activate his long voice line with transformation sounds.
:*Pressing the two gray pieces on his arms makes the spring-loaded 5mm-compatible Decepticon Hunter hilt pop out from his hands.
:*Turning the dial on his left shoulder will feature a normal Autobot Insignia, and ''two'' Scan-badges.

:Optimus Prime also had a sculpted translucent Matrix panel on his chest.

:The figure also features a hollow trailer, fit for the Warrior Class-sized toys. The trailer can also be converted into a battle station. Because of the toy's design & transformation, he is kinda show-accurate. Optimus also features 5mm-compatible ports on his trailer, arms, shoulders, legs, knees, waist armor, and the pop-out Decepticon Hunters. He also includes a number of soft rubbery weapons such as his signature axe, the sword, the crossbow, the lance, the katana-like sword, and the black blaster (the only one molded in hard plastic). The weapons can also be combined with the Decepticon Hunters into a dual-bladed weapon, or store into the trailer's inner panels. The weapons can also be wielded by any Warrior Class figures, although the accessories are associated with Bumblebee, Grimlock, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Jazz, & Drift.

:The two badges on his left shoulder are compatible with TakaraTomy's ''Transformers Chronicle'' app.

He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory.

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

{{-}}
==Notes==
[[File:SDCCPrimeOptimusPrimeTestShot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|> OPEN PACKAGE You open the package. There is an Optimus Prime inside.]]
*A black and red version of the First Edition deluxe Optimus Prime could be seen in the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011 ''Transformers'' slide show, inside a mock-up of the wearable Matrix of Leadership package done for the convention that year. This figure was presumably a test-shot, as it seems to share plastic colors with ''Generations'' [[Black Shadow (Victory)#Generations|Sky Shadow]] (who was, coincidentally, first revealed at that same Comic-Con).
{{-}}

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Optimus has several powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

[[File:SickMind CybSat-OpSkyMaster.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|He's about to pull a Powdered Toast Man.]]

*'''Sword Mode''' (ソードモード ''Sōdo Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, C.L., O.P., R.A.
: Optimus's "Sword Mode", depicted on his AM-01 release box-back, which is just him brandishing the [[Star Saber (Arms Micron)|Star Saber]] while [[C.L.]] is attached to Optimus's right leg. Woo.

*'''Sky Master Mode''' (スカイマスターモード ''Sukai Masutā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2 (x2), C.L. (x2), Jida (x2), O.P.
: The more interesting "Sky Master Mode", revealed in the "[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]" segment of "[[Sick Mind|Phantom Transformation! Mind-Diving]]", has him using O.P. as a blaster, ''two'' [[B.2]]s as leg-thrusters, and ''two'' sets of C.L./[[Jida]](!) combinations as back-mounted [[jet pack]]s. The [[Arms Micron#AMW Series|AMW versions]] of C.L. and Jida, while not as color-coordinated, are a far more economical option than buying two of each Cliffjumper. Good luck with the second B.2. This mode was created as a "counter" to the aerial combatant Starscream, along with the [[Energon Sniper]] Combo Weapon (despite it being a Decepticon-Micron-formed weapon). Apparently, the "Arms Up Mission" game isn't picky about factions.

*'''Galaxy Prime Mode''' (ギャラクシープライムモード ''Gyarakushī Puraimu Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, Jayz, O.P., Pral, R.A., Sais
: Seen on [[Unicron/toys#Prime|Gaia Unicron]]'s boxback, "Galaxy Prime mode" has Optimus wearing Gaia Unicron in "Gaia Armor" mode while holding the [[Star Saber (Arms Micron)|Star Saber]] and [[Cosmotector]] Super Combo Weapons.

**''Arms Microns'': B.2, Balo, Balo G, Baru, B.H., B.H. B, C.L., C.L. GR, Dai, Gabu, Gora, Gora II, Igu, Jayz, Jida, Jida R, Noji, O.P., Pral, R.A., Sais, Shining B.2, Shining O.P., Shining R.A.
: This Micron-covered "Ultimate Mode" for Arms Master Optimus was shown in the Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[One Shall Rise, Part 3|Sealed Transformation! The Mystery of Orion Pax]]". He wears the Matrix on his chest with [[Balo]], Balo G, [[R.A.]] and Shining R.A. attached to it, [[Zori|Zori M]] on his back, Jida R and [[Igu]] on his right shoulder, Jida and [[Noji]] on his left shoulder, B.H. and C.L. on his right arm, B.H. B and C.L. GR on his left arm, [[Gora]] on his right hip and Gora II on his left, B.2 and Shining O.P. on his right leg, and Shining B.2 and O.P. on his left leg. Finally, he wields the Cosmotector and [[Dark Matter Calibur]] in his hands. Phew!

*'''Sky Wing Mode''' (スカイウイングモード ''Sukai Uingu Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': C.L., Hades, Ida, Jida, Shining R.A.
: "Sky Wing Mode" is a flight-capable mode for Arms Master Optimus shown in the Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[Orion Pax, Part 2|Hopeful Transformation! Aim for Planet Cybertron]]".

**''Arms Microns'': Arc S, B.H. B, Balo, Balo G, C.L., C.L. GR, Dai, Gora II, Zamu

Wheeljack and Dreadwing]]". C.L. and Balo are combined into a propeller engine and attached to his right foot, their GR and G redecoes do the same for the left, and B.H. B is attached to his right shoulder to act as a radar system. He wears [[Arc|Arc S]]'s blade on his right arm and wields the [[Giga Tornado Cannon]] Combo Weapon.

*'''Space Blaster Mode''' (スペースブラスターモード ''Supēsu Burasutā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.H., B.H. B, C.L., C.L. GR, Gora II, Gul, R.A., Shining R.A., Zori M
: Arms Master Optimus's "Space Blaster Mode" is a mode designed for fighting in outer space, introduced in the Cybertron Satellite segment of "[[Armada (episode)|Infinite Transformation! Multiplying Enemies]]". He wears R.A. and Shining R.A. on his shoulders as wings, C.L. and C.L. GR on his back as thrusters, and B.H. and B.H. B on his feet as... more thrusters. His weapon of choice in this mode is the [[Matrix Blaster]].

'''Cody is turned into a grown-up during an experiment, which compromises his spot on the rescue team.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:OneForTheAges arm wrestling a kid.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
[[Chase (RB)|Chase]] and [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] stand ready as a ship pulls in to the docks, as there's a shipment on it bound for [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]]'s lab. The Chief is suffering from the flu and is sneezing everywhere. Miscreant troublemakers [[Evan (RB)|Evan]] and [[Myles]] are ready to try and steal the new equipment, and use a sonic device to knock [[Bunty|Mr. Bunty]] into the water. While Chief dives in after their victim, they swipe some equipment and speed off in their car. The Chief and Chase pursue, but the pair are sent spinning off a cliff when the two criminals drop [[oil]] on the road. Chase is able to cling to the side of the cliff and climb back up. With Chief increasingly sick, they return to the [[Griffin Rock Firehouse Headquarters|firehouse]] so he can rest.

With Chief Burns in bed, [[Kade Burns|Kade]] announces he's the new leader. The [[Rescue Bot]]s discuss what's wrong with the Chief, and Chase tries to interest anyone in the mucus sample he's acquired. The discussion is interrupted by the news there's a ruptured gas line. [[Cody Burns|Cody]] attempts to go along, only to get told by Kade he's too small. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] is unimpressed by Kade's insistence on beating Cody at arm wrestling before they head out. When they reach the site of the mess, Kade tries to order everyone around, though they pretty much already know what they need to do.

[[File:OneForTheAges Cody grown up.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Cody tries to work out why he's grown a mustache but not a beard.]]
Cody heads up to [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]]'s lab, where the Doc and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] are assembling the parts that weren't stolen into a [[stasis machine]]. They explain that it will freeze objects in time, but there's as a part missing, it won't work. Cody plays with the remote, accidentally triggering the device, which abruptly ages him to an adult. Doc Greene realizes that it's a result of the machine being incomplete and they may need the missing part back to reverse the aging, though he might be able to improvise something. Cody's just excited that he's finally an adult.

[[File:OneForTheAges Hayley hugs Cody.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Back at the fire station, the Rescue Bots and Cody's siblings are surprised at Cody's new state. They're soon called out to another emergency, and Cody insists he's now old enough to come along, with Kade forced to concede. They find a rocket tangled in power lines, the result of an experiment by a [[Cullen|Mr. Cullen]]. With the rocket still full of fuel, Cody switches the power off so [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] can lift it free safely. Unimpressed with Cody's feat, Kade assigns him to crowd control, though this results in [[Hayley]] becoming interested in this attractive new member of the Burns family. Unfortunately the attempt to retrieve the rocket goes wrong when it falls, and everyone takes cover from the explosion. Hayley asks "Cole", as he's calling himself, to lunch. An argument between Cody and Kade ensues, and Cody goes to hang out with Frankie.

Doc Greene is having no luck recalibrating the stasis machine, so Cody and Frankie try to play [[basketball]], but the height disparity makes the match one-sided, so Frankie goes back inside to help her dad. Cody finally comes to the realization he needs to be a kid again. Meanwhile Myles and Evan have their eyes on the rest of the stasis machine and are aiming to break into the lab. Chase attempts to stop them, but they blast him with their sonic ray. Cody smashes the weapon out of their hands with a basketball, and when they're confronted by the Greenes and [[Trex]], they flee.

[[File:OneForTheAges Kade offers hat.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]
Cody and Chase are pursue the pair, but are held up by first a crosswalk and then some inconveniently placed crates. Heatwave and Kade manage to pull alongside the two thieves, only to be blasted by their piece of the stasis ray, resulting in Kade being deaged into a child. While everyone is amused at the effect, after Kade has a quick change of clothing, they chase the two criminals around the dock. Kade tries to drop a box on them, only to be too small to pull the release lever, but it provides a distraction so the Rescue Bots can surround them. Evan and Myles ditch the stasis machine piece, which [[Boulder]] saves from a watery grave, and attempt to hide in a box. Unfortunately for them, Chase simply slaps a lid on the box so Blades can lift it up and carry them to prison.

Doc Greene announces with the missing piece, he should have the machine working properly within the hour. Chief Burns walks into the station saying that he's feeling much better, only to see adult Cody and kid Kade arm wrestling, at which point he announces he's going back to bed.

==Quotes==
"On the contrary, Chief Burns was quite productive — of a substance known as 'mucus'. I collected a sample if you would like to see."
:—'''Chase'''

'''Boulder:''' Cody! What happened? You have a lip warmer like Chief. 
'''Chase:''' I believe it is called a sneeze guard, or in some jargons, a crumb catcher. 
'''Blades:''' Was that inside your nose the whole time??

"You may be a fireman, but I think you've just got burned."
:—'''Heatwave''''s got a point.

"OK everyone, I need you to, um, step back for your safety and you have to listen to me because I'm an adult. Really."
:—'''Cody'''

"Can I take you to lunch?" 
"I don't need anyone to take me! I can drive!"
:—'''Hayley''' and '''Cody'''

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* Mr. Bunty is named for the first time. He previously had a reasonably-sized "guest" role in "[[Flobsters on Parade]]".
* Evan and Myles were previously arrested in "[[The Haunting of Griffin Rock]]".
* Heatwave uses the water cannon energize tool that comes with his toy to put out a fire.
* Blades refers to [[Lad Pioneer]]s.
* Mr. Cullen's rocket was seen visible next to a house (presumably his) during season 1, and prominently appears on the show's [[title sequence]].
* Trex was turned into a guard dog in "[[Return of the Dino Bot]]".

===Real-world references===
* Doc Greene refers to Frankie as his "young [[Nikola Tesla|Tesla]]."
* It's a fair bet Mr. Cullen's name is a reference to [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] voice actor [[Peter Cullen]].
* Chase asks Evan and Myles if they're "familiar with the human known as {{w|Miranda warning|Miranda}}." Given Chase's voice actor [[D.C. Douglas]] has a prominent role in the ''Mass Effect'' games which also feature a human named Miranda, it's not impossible this is a double-reference.

===Animation and technical errors===
* The [[Settlers' Bell]] is absent from the lighthouse during the opening shot!
* Whereas Trex's eyes were blue in his previous appearance in "[[Return of the Dino Bot]]" and only turned red when he was possessed by [[Thaddeus Morocco|Doctor Morocco]]'s virus, from this story on they're permanently red.

===Trivia===
* Kade wants a two-mile perimeter clear of pedestrians? How big ''is'' Griffin Rock anyway?
* Not only does the stasis machine make Cody older, it also gives him a perfectly-formed mustache but no beard.

'''The Rescue Bots disobey the Chief's orders and find themselves in a life-threatening situation.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:RulesAndRegulations bouncy castle net.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Just a little more to the right, guys - wait, no, the left!" *THUD*"Ah, never mind."]]
[[Cody Burns|Cody]], keen to play catch with [[Charlie Burns|dad]], finds his siblings watching [[television]]. [[Huxley Prescott]] has dared himself to jump out of an airplane, however as [[Graham Burns|Graham]] observes, Huxley's parachute cord is tangled up. Chief Burns orders the team to scramble, much to Cody's disappointment. As the reporter is falling way too fast to pluck out of the air the team looks for an alternate way to save him and Cody spots a nearby kids party with a bouncy house. [[Kade Burns|Kade]] manages to clear the children off it, and [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] uses the downdraft from his blades to redirect Huxley so that the other bots can use the bouncy house to break Huxley's fall without breaking him.

Later, Chief Burns finds Cody looking sad because he didn't get to spend time with dad. Charlie decides to invite him along on a security assignment on [[Griffin Crest]]. Cody's soon packing though the bots are disappointed that they're not going to get to come along. Blades fails to see the attraction in sleeping outdoors, while [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] has found the [[Lad Pioneers Handbook]] (1959 edition) and starts quoting from it. As Chief Burns arrives to get Cody, he tells the bots that Kade is now in charge, and orders them not to cross Canyon Road. The two Burnses reach Griffin Crest, while Chief Burns explains how the Crest has an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP generator]] on it to create a safe zone from technology, in case anything ever went rogue.

[[Image:RulesAndRegulations Boulder in bubble tent.jpg|thumb|right|200px|If he were a [[Rattrap (BW)|mouse]], this would be [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]'s [[Changing of the Guard|dream]].]]
Back at base, Chase is still reading the handbook, while [[Boulder]] messes with the camping gear. Boulder inadvertently gets stuck in a [[bubble tent]], which also triggers a campfire starter, but the minor emergency is soon dealt with.

Cody and Chief Burns continue to check the fence around the Crest, but encounter a bear. They hide behind a rock and the Chief uses a holographic generator provided by [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]] to lead the bear away. While dad opens the gate, Cody calls the station, but his garbled message leads the bots to believe that there's the two humans are being attacked by a bear. Chase stops Heatwave giving the order to roll out, noting that it would be against orders and that Kade is in charge. They try to contact Kade, but Kade's gone to a movie with [[Hayley]] and is ignoring his comms. Heatwave decides they're heading out anyway.

At the Crest, Cody and his dad watch a geyser, [[Old Parker]], go off, though Chief Burns has to chase away a squirrel.

[[Image:RulesAndRegulations Burnses escape bear.jpg|thumb|left|250px|They just bearly escaped!]]
The bots approach the Crest, but Chase stops short, determined to follow the order not to cross Canyon Road. Once Blades flies over the fence surrounding the crest, he's hit by the EMP, and as Heatwave and Boulder crash through the fence, so are they. The three bots come to a halt, immobilized in their [[alternate mode|vehicle modes]]. Chase, unaware of the problem, finds he can't contact the others. He ends up ringing the emergency line and faking a litter emergency so he can call out the rest of the team. Things get worse for the immobilized bots, as a bear, attracted by the sandwich Kade left in Heatwave, starts attacking the Rescue Bot.

The sound of Heatwave's tire being burst reaches the Chief, but before they can investigate, they encounter the bear and are forced to retreat up a nearby cliff. After Cody nearly slips, they start working their way along the side and Cody spots the immobilized bots, and the fact that they're stuck on top of Old Parker. They start heading down slowly, to avoid the bear.

[[Image:RulesAndRegulations Chase rescues Heatwave.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Heatwave used Thunder Shock! It's Super Effective!]]
The rest of the team arrives in Kade's old fire engine, and Kade finally overrides Chief Burns' orders so Chase can cross Canyon Road. They soon arrive at the fence around Griffin Crest and use a rope to tie Chase to Boulder and Blades. He manages to pull the pair clear of the EMP zone, but Old Parker eruption is imminent and it's too hot for the [[human]]s to go back and hook up Heatwave. Chase runs into the EMP zone and throws himself on top of Heatwave, right as the geyser goes off. After a few worrying moments, as the steam clears, the others see that Heatwave and Chase are safe inside the bubble tent. The pair are hauled out, and Chase points out that the tent's resistance to high temperature is in the manual. Chief contacts them from the other side of the zone to let them know he and Cody are OK, before he goes to enjoy a night of camping with Cody.

:—'''Huxley Prescott''' in freefall.

"Blades, are you all right?" 
"Of course! How could I get hurt falling upside down onto your back?!"

"This day can't get any worse." 
"Heatwave, don't say that. In the movies, whenever someone says that-" ''[enter a bear, stage left]'' "-it always gets worse."

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* Kade's on a date with Hayley, whom he got together with in "[[Small Blessings]]".
* As in "[[Small Blessings]]", Kade once again appears to be driving the old fire truck that was destroyed in "[[Under Pressure]]".
* Gadgets and powers:
** Chase shares Boulder's tow cable feature.

===Real-world references===
* After the bots are rescued and Chief and Cody head off to continue their camping trip, Cody muses "does a bear chase a hologram in the woods?", a spin on the rhetorical colloquialism "does a bear pee (or, uh... ''poop'') in the woods?"

===Transformers references===
* Heatwave makes reference to [[Primus]]'s [[core]].

===Animation and technical errors===
* The tech-free EMP safety zone includes a hot geyser which can kill people or destroy any item, and may prevent entry to the zone when in the process of erupting. This seems like poor planning.
* The EMP is said to "disable all tech," however while their vehicle modes are affected, the bots themselves still remain online. It's not clear how this distinction is made. It's at least curious that their internal screens somehow remained functional; these seem to be part of their vehicle mode, as they serve no purpose in bot mode.

===Trivia===
* It's not clear why the EMP safe zone is classified, considering it's supposed to be a place to go in an emergency. At any rate, the human members of the team know about it, so it's equally unclear why Chief Burns doesn't fill in the bots.
* Huxley's [[robo-camera]] has its own little parachute. It's pretty adorable.

Razorkukku

Toyeticollector: Corrected "Beastfrormers" to "Beastformers"

{{factions|autobot}}
:''Razorkukku is a [[Beastformer]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:LaserCockPoster.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The best to you each morning!]]

'''Razorkukku''' (レーザークック　''Rēzākukku''), also known as '''Chicken''' (チキン ''Chikin''), is one of the [[Autobot]] Beastformers fighting a war on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]]. He's a gentle family man who enjoys cooking and being at home with his family, and he often holds parties. He also holds the rank of Emperor of [[East Yutoranta]], the country where he was born, under King [[Strong Panda]]. As a bird-type Beastformer, Razorkukku excels at aerial combat and holds the role of Air Staff Officer in the Autobot Beastformer forces, though he's very careful in his attack strategies as his true specialty lies in defense. By spinning his [[MVP Weapon]], the Valiant Razor, he can create a Razor Barrier that can withstand even the impact of an atomic bomb. Wow!

==Fiction==

Razorkukku was among the Beastformers who traveled to [[Bistoram]] to reinforce its defenses against the [[Laser Beast]]s. {{storylink|Beastformers VS Laser Beasts}}

: Part of the third series of Beastformers, Razorkukku is an anthropomorphic domestic chicken in high-tech blue armor. He comes with his "Valiant Razor" (バリアントレーザー) double-bladed staff.

: He has one of three [[rubsign]]s on his chest, revealing the elemental power of Fire, Water, or Wood. As he was only released in series three, he only came with the full-color-image-on-black version of the rubsign, rather than the black-outline-on-mood-ring-colors version from the previous series.

==Notes==
* Okay... for the longest time, it was thought by the English-speaking fandom that his name was, ''ahem'', "Laser Cock". Let's get those giggles out now, shall we? We'll wait.
* Done? No?
* Okay. Now. So, yeah. "Cock", of course, being another word for a male chicken. Examining the actual katakana for his name, "レーザークック" ...
** "レーザー" (''rēzā'') can be either "laser" or "razor", and given the oftentimes... ''loose'' use of English for Beastformer names ([[Big Serow]] not being a serow, for example, or all the non-saber "Saber" weapons), it frankly can go either way and is not worth arguing over.
** More importantly, "クック" (''kukku'') is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the clucking sound a chicken makes. (If it was actually supposed to be "cock" it would be written as コック ''kokku''.) And since we do not change Japanese-word names on this wiki (like the [[Trainbot]]s), we're sticking with the onomatopoeia.
* Sorry.

'''At his teammates' urging, Hoist invents some new 'cool tools' to improve their rescue abilities. They fail spectacularly, leaving Hoist feeling awful, until Boulder teaches him not to give up.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Boulder]] is overseeing the recruits on a rescue of [[Mrs. Rubio]] in [[Griffin Rock]]. [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] finds his tow line is too short to reach Mrs. Rubio's car, and [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] isn't able to get a clear shot either. With the rescue becoming more urgent, the team works together to get the car back onto the road, albeit with some work required. The team heads back to the rescue center, where Hoist stews over fact his line was too short. The discussion turns to the extra attachments that the Rescue Bots have, and Whirl hits on the idea of Hoist creating new equipment for them all.

Some time later, Hoist unveils the new attachments he's created and hands everyone instructions. Once everything is fitted, Hoist sets up the simulator to replicate their earlier rescue, with [[Tough Luck Chuck]] standing in for Mrs. Rubio. Hoist finds himself unable to hook the car with his new tow line, and when [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] attempts to use his new sonic blaster, the recoil sends him flying. The others don't have much more luck — [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]]'s power fists fly off, Whirl's arm rotors send her spinning, and [[Medix (RB)|Medix]]'s claws buckle when he tries to open the car door with them. Fortunately Hoist built in stop buttons, so though the simulated rescue fails, they're at least able to get their equipment under control. Hoist is dispirited by the disaster, and heads off. The other recruits reason that all new equipment needs a testing phase.

[[File:RBA - If at First - Boulder and Tipped Trailer.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Boulder misunderstands the human sport of 'cow-tipping'.]]
Hot Shot finds Hoist meditating, and takes him to where Boulder is admiring his creations. Boulder encourages Hoist to continue working on his inventions, and Hoist soon has "version 2.0" ready to go. There's a rescue alarm — a milk tanker has come off the road in Griffin Rock - so the recruits grab their new attachments and go to help. While Whirl and Hot Shot go to clear some humans from the danger zone down the hill, the others work to pull the truck back onto the road, however the tank comes loose, spilling milk. Whirl and Hot Shot are able to keep the milk away from the humans using their attachments, and Boulder seals the tanker. The new attachments are declared a resounding success.

Cybertronian Sign Language

2020-07-03T16:59:55Z

Toyeticollector: Corrected "Lanuguage" to "Language" in both the text and Wikipedia link

[[File:RiD2015 - Guilty As Charged - Blastwave using CSL.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select Start]]
'''Cybertronian Sign Language''' is a form of communication utilizing hand gestures and body language that allows [[Transformer]]s who have lost the ability to speak or hear a means of communicating with their fellow 'bots. It's not a language for a 'bot in a hurry, but when the chips are down it allows them to get the point across.

==Fiction==
===2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon===
When the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]], mistakingly believing he was an escapee from [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon Prison]], trapped [[Blastwave]] in a force-cell, he used Cybertronian Sign Language to communicate to the shocked Autobots that he was in fact the bounty hunter his quarry, [[Nightra]], had claimed to be. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], having previously suffered voicebox loss himself, immediately recognised the gestures. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}}

[[File:RescueBotsAcademyPoster.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|More rescues, more bots.]]
'''''Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy''''' is an animated cartoon series developed by [[Boulder Media Studio]] as a sequel to ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'', with [[Ben Ward]] and [[Nicole Dubuc]] as story editors. The series had a special advance premiere on [[December 8]], [[2018]], while the remaining episodes began airing on [[January 5]], [[2019]] on [[Discovery Family]] in the US and [[Pop TV]] in the UK. Two 52 episode seasons are currently planned, and like ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Transformers: Cyberverse]]'', each episode runs for 11 minutes.<ref>https://tvshowscancelled.com/transformers-rescue-bots-academy-renewed-for-season-2-by-discovery-family/</ref> The voice cast of ''Rescue Bots'' did not reprise their roles, with existing characters being re-cast with voice actors from the same [[New York City|New York]]-based casting pool as ''Cyberverse''.

Intended for more of a preschool audience than its predecessor, the series follows the first class of the new [[Rescue Bot Training Center|Rescue Bot Training Academy]], learning from the more experienced [[Rescue Bot]]s how to respond to emergency situations and become heroes.

==Notes==
*The series uses a different art style from its predecessor. For example, the robot characters in this series have full optics instead of large gaps around an iris. The recruits also have a shorter stature than the other bots, with Optimus being the tallest of the cast.
*Several characters, including Optimus Prime, Grimlock and Bumblebee, have been heavily redesigned from their previous appearances in ''Rescue Bots'' and other Aligned continuity series. All three now resemble their "[[evergreen]]" designs, in a concession to Hasbro's push for a unified brand look.

[[File:GrahamnBurns-charactermodel.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|I have a [[hard hat]]. You probably haven't heard of them.]]
'''Graham Burns''' (later, ''Doctor'' '''Graham Burns''') is the bookish younger member of the Burns family. An expert engineer, his only problem is he's not the best at communication. Teamed with the [[Rescue Bot]] [[Boulder]], he should be able to put his skills to good use, provided they can work together.

==Fiction==
===''Rescue Bots'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Shannon McKain]] (English)|[[Gábor Joó]] (Hungarian), [[Grzegorz Woś]] (Polish), [[Luis Leonardo Suárez]] (Latin American-Spanish), [[Antti Lang]] (Finnish), [[Till Völger]] (German, season 2)}}
When they were younger, Graham and [[Dani Burns|Dani]] used to tell [[Kade Burns|Kade]] stories about [[gremlin]]s in retaliation for his bossiness. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}} Graham was in the [[Lad Pioneer|Lad Pioneers]], however after getting lost on a night hike and then bullied by the other boys, he gave it up. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}

Graham was at the dedication of the dedication of the new rescue robots with his siblings when an alert came through of a fire at the [[Griffin Rock natural history museum|natural history museum]]. He headed there in his new bulldozer, though the robot seemed oddly concerned about spoiling the plaza's aesthetics when he tried to move the planters. That night, the trio were further startled when their vehicles went off on their own to chase a [[Trex|robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'']]. At [[Cody Burns|Cody]]'s suggestion, Graham used his bulldozer-bot to extract a jail cell from the police station so Dani could use her helicopter to trap the [[dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaur]]. It was only later that [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] revealed that the four robots were aliens. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}

[[File:UnderPressure Graham pinball.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Graham doesn't know [[Michael Bay]] rigged the game to blow.]]
With this revelation, Graham found it difficult to work with Boulder because he couldn't work out what a lowly human could offer a technologically-advanced alien, and even Cody's attempt to get them to bond failed. When they had to deal with [[Mount Magma]], Cody gave Graham advice over the radio and got him to work together to locate the volcano's main control, and later map the underground tunnels to track the lava flow as it headed for the bunker. {{storylink|Under Pressure}}

Graham and Boulder tried to stop [[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]]'s out-of-control car with an improvised spike strip which proved ineffective. After the rescue, Dani fitted [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] with a scoop claw, resulting in the pair hogging all the rescues, including clearing a road which Boulder and Graham were about to do. Graham and Kade tried to take their concerns to Dani, but it was only after they had to come to her and Blades's rescue that the scoop claw was put in storage. {{storylink|Hotshots}} When the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]] was attacked by [[flobster]]s, Graham and Boulder helped by scooping them up after Doc Greene's new compound removed their ability to fly. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}}

The pair assisted in preventing a potentially disastrous spill of hazardous materials. When [[Huxley Prescott]] caused everyone to believe aliens were invading, they paid a visit to [[Perkins (RB)|Mr. Perkins]]'s farm to find there were only cows there. After the power went out, Graham visited the [[Griffin Rock power plant|power plant]] and determined that Prescott's [[SETI]] dish was the cause of the problem. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}} After a [[Whiskers|lion]] and some lemurs escaped from [[Griffin Rock Zoo|the zoo]], Graham and Boulder used some lemur feed to lure the lemurs back to their enclosure. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}}

[[File:CodyOnPatrol Graham with laser pointer.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.55|Time to bust some ghosts!]]
Though their attempt to stop [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]]'s heli-pack ride didn't go so well, the pair later helped quell some rampaging [[nanite]]s. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}} During repair work on a bridge, Graham watched in amazement as an idiot tried to jump the gap on a motorcycle and fell short. He and Boulder took part in a rescue operation when the bank was in danger of falling into a sinkhole, and Graham stuck his arm into a sewer pipe to retrieve the [[Rubber Ducky]] that was blocking it. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}} During a snowfall, Graham stood watch so the Rescue Bots could have some fun in the snow. When the weather machine they were using to create the snow went out of control, he and Boulder helped Doc Greene take the machine back to his lab for repairs. {{storylink|Christmas in July}}

Graham, Kade, and Dani used excuses to get out of the annual Burns fishing trip, but later changed their minds and arrived on the pier to discover they'd missed out on the [[shark submarine|giant mechanical shark]]. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RB)|Deep Trouble}} When the island's technology ran loose as a result of the mainframe being hacked, Graham and Boulder had to help get [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] out of the town hall. {{storylink|Return of the Dino Bot}} The arrival of [[Doctor Morocco]] and his [[MorBot]] resulted in the entire team being stood down, after they failed to compete against the newcomer. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} As the Rescue Bots tried to adjust to their new life, Graham found himself being subjected to [[Chase (RB)|Chase]]'s pea soup and had to politely decline. He and the team finally got back into action when they had to attend a fire at the lab, and the discovery of new information about Morocco resulted in the team being reinstated for good. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}

[[File:GriffinRockTriangle Graham goes swimming.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|"Umm, could somebody call [[Depth Charge (BW)|a metal stingray]], please?"]]
Graham went to the [[Hall of Inspiration]] to do a safety check and took Cody and Boulder along. That night the hall was broken into, and when the team attended to it, Graham, Kade and Dani lost their robot partners. Graham and Dani monitored [[Griffin Rock dam]] from the fire station after it put out an electronic alarm. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} After Cody found a lead about a particular tunnel in the cave network, he enlisted Graham and the bots to help him find it. They discovered a small station in which Graham and Cody briefly got caught in an airlock, and it was only through quick thinking that they got out. A videotape they found led the team to venture into the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]] where they found [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]] still living in the crashed ''[[Midgard]]'' and helped her complete her mission to seal the methane vent that had been causing the ship sinkings. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}

After the Chief went off to check the [[Griffin Crest]] security, Graham, Dani and Kade had to head there to rescue three of the Rescue Bots after they were caught in the [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} When a storm hit Griffin Rock, Graham helped secure the town and searched for Cody on the ''[[Darby Ava]]'' after his brother was swept out to sea. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}} Graham accompanied the team on a mission to [[Wayward Island]] to investigate a meteorite. After Heatwave, Boulder and Chase were infected by a virus from the meteorite, the Burns family returned to the island, but Graham was knocked overboard when the boat hit rocks, and had to be rescued by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. He subsequently got to repair the ''Darby Ava''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> engine so they could get back to Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}}

[[File:Countdown Graham examines bug.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.55|"Are you doing science again?"]]
Having applied to [[Gremsky Technical Institute]], Graham received a letter signifying his acceptance, though he was unsure as to whether he'd go or not. During a subsequent call out when they had to deal with a rampaging blob of [[Squilsh]], Graham talked about going to Gremsky with Boulder. He and Boulder used their engineering skills to stop the blob, after which Graham ultimately realized that he'd be able to learn more by being part of the team. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}} Following the disappearance of most of the townsfolk, Graham dissected a mechanical bug Chase caught and discovered it contained a quantum [[Transwarp|subspace]] wormhole generator. Before he could expound on his plan to deal with the problem of finding where it was transporting people to, he was teleported to a cavern under Griffin Rock where he found the rest of the townspeople. Though he took part in an effort to dig themselves out, ultimately they were rescued by the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}}

Graham and the rest of the team attended a call out to the bank where they encountered what appeared to be a ghost. The town was soon overrun by them, and Graham attempted to use Doc Greene's [[Spectral Vapor Filter]] on one, to limited effect. It later turned out the ghosts were simply [[hologram]]s anyway. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}} During a Kade-initiated race, Graham and Boulder managed to demolish the [[Horace Burns]] statue. When Chase and the Chief went missing, Graham and the rest of the team searched all night, and were eventually led to the lead mine. He and Dani accompanied Boulder and Blades into the mine to search, finding Chase and helping him break out. {{storylink|Little White Lies}}

[[File:ShakeUp Graham tracks signal.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|Not quite ready for a close-up just yet.]]
After an earthquake struck the town, forcing the team to go into rescue mode, Graham traced the source of the tremors to a location in the tunnels under Griffin Rock. There, they located a storage area of inventions, including a huge subwoofer. Graham eventually tracked the wireless signal controlling it back to the jukebox in the Hall of Inspiration collection. {{storylink|Shake Up}} After Cody got a [[repulsor badge]], he assisted Graham in changing a tire, but his use of the device started getting out of control. Graham and the rest of the team eventually had to save him from the overloading badge. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}

Graham got help with his engineering homework from Boulder. The pair attended the testing of a [[Temporal Station|time machine]], and Graham's partner was transported back to 1939 with the other Bots. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}} In an alternate reality created when history was changed, Graham and his brother and sister were mechanics. The trio constructed the [[Mobile Headquarters]] to combat the ruling Doctor Morocco's MorBots, though in the end they didn't use it until they needed to get a group of time traveling Rescue Bots back to their time machine. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}

Graham installed a mobile version of the command center in the Mobile HQ. He later joined the chase to find the Mobile HQ after it was teleported around the island. {{storylink|Road Trip}} He and the rest of the team had to save the town's citizens when the plants in Frankie's [[Sky Forest (structure)|Sky Forest]] grew out of control. {{storylink|Sky Forest (episode)|Sky Forest}} The team had to had to deal with Cody being aged to an adult as well as a rocket that had become tangled in power lines. {{storylink|One for the Ages}}

[[File:PrescottsBots Graham shows off Squilsh.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.55|"Wait, someone sneezed, and you kept it?"]]
When an iceberg was discovered that was actually a frozen [[S.S. Isolde|ship]] carrying a dangerous [[Sub-Zero Expander]], Graham took part in an attempt to get rid of the device by blowing it up, which was aborted when it turned out Doctor Morocco had claimed the vessel as salvage. The team had to deal with the fallout when the device exploded and froze a five-mile section of ocean. At one point, Graham lost his [[hard hat]]. Graham and the other human members of the team were also saved when their sinking boat was unexpectedly saved by Morocco. {{storylink|Tip of the Iceberg}} After helping a trapped skier, Graham built a helmet for Heatwave to use in order to rescue Blades and Cody, who were trapped in a virtual reality game. {{storylink|A Virtual Disaster}} Graham and the rest of the team were mesmerized by cellphones, forcing them to mine [[Blossom Vale]] until the spell was broken by the destruction of the cell tower. {{storylink|Spellbound}}

The rescue team was caught up in Huxley Prescott's reality show, until they discovered that Huxley was creating disasters himself to spice things up. Graham and Boulder subsequently had to help Doc Greene deal with the Squilsh Prescott had added to the town dam. {{storylink|Prescott's Bots}} The team had to face a horde of [[gremlin]]s, conjured from Kade's nightmares by Doc Greene's [[Nightmare Imaging Device]]. {{storylink|Blame the Gremlins}}

[[File:FeedTheBeast Grrrraham.jpg|thumb|left|260px|Nerd rage in its most literal form.]]
Following a blimp crash at the charity sandwich sale, Mayor Luskey presented Graham with a case of "Magic Meat". Graham quickly became addicted to the meat after sampling it during a late-night homework session, unaware that it was actually [[Fo-Foo]]. The substance turned him into a large hairy monster, and he raided the bunker in which Luskey's "Magic Meat" supply was stored. In the morning, back in human form, he joined the team in investigating the bunker break in, but when the trail led to the fire house, he once again turned into a beast. The team tracked him to the Hall of Inspiration, where the last supply to Fo-Foo was stored, and Boulder was successfully able to talk him into remembering who he was. He was later put on a diet of vegetables to cure his condition. {{storylink|Feed the Beast}}

During a visit by [[Woodrow Burns|Uncle Woodrow]], the team were joined by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] come to investigate an [[energon]] deposit, and ended up having to mount a rescue mission to a deep cavern to rescue Woodrow and Cody. {{storylink|What Lies Below}} After Blades, Boulder and the three older siblings were separated from the others, Boulder and Graham set about using their engineering skills to find a way out, and reached a primordial cavern complete with pterodactyl. Once the team was eventually reunited, they escaped from underground by blasting themselves out of the top of Mount Magma. {{storylink|What Rises Above}}

Graham volunteered to be part of the crew of the ''Asgard'' space elevator, though he was nervous about going into space. After panicking several times and being sick, Graham had finally calmed down when the ''Asgard'' experienced a collision with an asteroid. He and Doc Greene had to shelter in the greenhouse until they were rescued by the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Space Bots}} Following an encounter with a [[mechanical bull]], the team tried to send it to the [[Island of Misfit Tech]] and ended up tussling with a prototype Scrapmaster. {{storylink|The Island of Misfit Tech}} When the town's new computer [[Vigil]] took over and forced everyone to stay indoors, the rescue team had to break into the laboratory via the tunnel system and take it down. {{storylink|The Vigilant Town}}

[[File:BuddySystem Mr Pettypaws is friendly.jpg|thumb|right|320px]]
Going on the [[Lad Pioneer]] nature hike, Graham was buddied up with [[Neederlander|Mrs. Neederlander]] and [[Mister Pettypaws|her cat]]. Between her complaining and his allergies to the cat, Graham was unhappy, especially when the keys to the [[Buddy Bracelet]]s were destroyed, and he had to take her along on a snake hunt. As it turned out, her snake charming skills saved him from a king cobra, and they were later, mercifully, debuddied. {{storylink|Buddy System}} Following a tremor, Graham, Cody and the Bots went to Wayward Island to check out a missing quake sensor. They found the sensor was creating a super-magnet, and had to shut it down. {{storylink|In Search of the Griffin's Nest}}

When a crime spree carried out by Evan and Myles resulted in the [[Tech Wrecker]] knocking out the town's tech, Graham and the rest of his family had to take a low-tech approach to rescuing people and capturing the pair. {{storylink|Bots and Robbers}} The team was also temporarily joined by a dog which Cody dubbed [[Noble (RB)|Noble]] after they saved it from the ocean. {{storylink|Rescue Dog}} They also had to tackle Doctor Morocco's weather machine. {{storylink|Changes}} On [[Midwinter Morning]], Graham and the rest of the team were called on to take the mantle of the [[Rider of Midwinter]], delivering loaves of bread to the townsfolk. {{storylink|The Riders of Midwinter}} When lightning struck the [[Power Planter]], causing it to run wild, the team had their work cut out cleaning up after it, but they were eventually able to lure it into a trap. {{storylink|Movers and Shakers}}

During the Chief's absence from the island, the team instead found itself under Woodrow's leadership, resulting in some rather unorthodox rescues. {{storylink|Chief Woodrow}} Graham took part in a hunt for a Cybertronian relic with Bumblebee, and later had to help deal with the catastrophes the device caused around the island. {{storylink|Odd Bot Out}} After the rescue team was assigned to complete the rail tunnel to the mainland, Graham was almost squashed by a boulder, but was saved by a mysterious superhero. Once the work was finished, the Burns family was roped into being on the inaugural journey of the [[Griffin Rock Express]], but ended up having to try to halt the train after it malfunctioned. They were plucked from the crashing train by the Rescue Bots and Frankie. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Express}}

[[File:BigGame Graham and dinoBoulder.jpg|left|upright=1.67|thumb|[http://m.snopes.com/2015/06/10/oates-criticizes-spielberg/ And the internet proceeds to panic.]]]
After a game of [[Rescue Ball]], the team rescued Mayor Luskey from a predicament on a bridge, only to find the mayor was suffering from amnesia. When the Rescue Bots later started acting oddly, the Burns family discovered that they had somehow been replaced by fakes. The family started searching for their friends and when there was an explosion at the docks, they found the Bots, who had been hoodwinked by Doctor Morocco into thinking the Burns family were criminals. {{storylink|Double Villainy}} After the amnesiac Rescue Bots instinctively saved the Burnses from a wave, the Burnses persuaded them to return to the fire house, where the Bots were soon convinced they were all on the same side. As the chain reaction set off by the explosion threatened to sink the island, Graham put out a warning to seek higher ground. The team borrowed some tech from the Greenes, and were able to save Griffin Rock by reinforcing the tunnel system with foam. They also arrested Doctor Morocco, who had wiped the Bots' memories, and the damage was able to be reversed. {{storylink|Rise of the Heroes}}

Graham and the team went to Wayward Island to investigate a group of [[dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]] Doc Greene had found there, however the dinos promptly chased the team into a tar pit, necessitating a rescue by Optimus Prime.{{storylink|Land Before Prime (episode)|Land Before Prime}} When Prime's new dinosaur mode resulted in him going feral, Graham, Boulder and the Greenes worked on a diagnosis and cure. Once a cure had been developed and tested by giving Boulder a triceratops mode, he and Graham helped rescue Optimus from big game hunter [[Quint Quarry]]. {{storylink|Big Game}}

[[File:UnfinishedBusiness Graham with book.jpg|right|upright=1.5|thumb]]
The team had to contend with four temporary clones of Kades created by Doc Greene's Imaging Device, though the Kades did end up saving the team from a gas leak. {{storylink|Too Many Kades}} The team was sent ten years forward in time when they boarded the ''[[S.S. Phantom Voyager]]'', however Boulder and Graham were able to reverse the time machine stored in the ship's hold, returning them to present day. {{storylink|Phantom of the Sea}} Following a flooding disaster, Chase and Boulder went off on a space mission, leaving Graham to suffer Heatwave's "help" with his repair work. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}} Graham, Boulder and Cody retrieved a stabilizer from the Island of Misfit Tech, but unwittingly returned with Vigil's programming as well. Vigil took over the [[Mayor Luskey Dome]], and Graham and Boulder became trapped under old cars during the chase that ensued. {{storylink|No Place Like Dome}}

After developing a new crazy slide for the community pool, Graham met [[Amy]], a young engineer newly arrived on the island. As he became flustered every time he met her, the rest of the team tried to help him with his confidence, though nothing helped until Graham himself developed a new cologne he dubbed "[[Confident Me]]". This boosted his confidence, and he later saved the people at the pool from a swarm of mutant army ants, though Boulder promptly pointed out that the cologne had been washed off him earlier. Graham still maintained the confidence to ask Amy out. {{storylink|Bugs in the System}}

Graham opted out of another trip on the space elevator, and as a consequence when a nebula caused those aboard to swap minds, he ended up having to cover for them during a rescue. Fortunately the mind swaps were eventually reversed. {{storylink|Switcheroo}} After Kade accidentally ingested some [[scrubmite]]s, Graham and the rest of the team were miniaturized and went into Kade's body in the Bots' ship the ''[[Sigma]]'' to round them up. {{storylink|Bot-Tastic Voyage}} When Quarry kidnapped Baranova in order to get hold of five dinobots, Graham and the rest of the family tracked him back to his island and arrested him. {{storylink|Quarry's Quarry}}

Visiting Wayward Island in search of Energon, the team instead found a frozen caveman who turned out to be alive. Though they attempted to help him acclimate to modern life, ultimately they had to return him to the island. {{storylink|Did You See What I Thaw?}} After giant monsters from a movie were brought into the real world by a new projector, the team had to round them up so that Doc Greene could return them to the movie. {{storylink|The Attack of Humungado}} The Burns family went to be photographed for ''[[Emergency Response Illustrated]]'' off-island. On their way back, they were delayed by kelp and jellyfish, but finally returned to the island where they had to help foil Evan and Myles's latest plan to use souvenir Rescue Bots to rob the townsfolk. {{storylink|All Bots Great and Small}}

When Cody began experiencing repeated time, his foreknowledge allowed the rescue team to prevent a number of disasters and mishaps during the dedication of the town's new clock tower. {{storylink|Time After Time}} When it was discovered that one of the Burns family ancestors was a pirate, the mayor suspended the whole team. A series of clues led the team to find the treasure and they were able to persuade the mayor to reinstate them. {{storylink|Pirates Ahoy}} Graham and Doc Greene assessed [[Drilling Platform number 6]] to see if drilling could start up again, but discovered it was in a sorry state. Following an oil spill and fire, Graham was forced to give Mayor Luskey the bad news. {{storylink|Turning the Tide}} When a time traveling [[Jules Verne]] paid a visit to present day [[Griffin Rock]], Graham had the honor of repairing his balloon. {{storylink|The Last of Morocco}}

On a trip to Wayward Island, he, Cody and Frankie found a Cybertronian ship containing [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]] and [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]]. {{storylink|The New Recruits}} Salvage was able to help Graham and Boulder complete a project, installing a new interface named [[ERVIS]] into the ''Sigma''. Blurr turned out to be less capable of fitting in, botching a rescue which Graham took part in. {{storylink|Rescue Bots Academy (episode)|Rescue Bots Academy}} After Blurr stole the ''Sigma'' and a solar flare knocked out power to the island, Graham and Boulder talked Blurr through activating the ship's laser so he could take out a rogue satellite that was threatening the town. {{storylink|A New Hero}}

Graham and the rest of the team had to hunt down [[Servo (RB)|Servo]] after the dog went on an apparent rampage, but later helped Servo save the mayor. {{storylink|Four-Legged Hero}} When Boulder found some endangered woodpeckers, the rescue team had to go into rescue mode when all the sightseers managed to set fire to Blossom Vale. {{storylink|Endangered Species}}

When Chase had to work as the dispatcher due to an injury, he sent the rest of the team on several false alarms, however he successfully helped them arrest some thieves. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RB)|More than Meets the Eye}} Graham, along with the rest of the team, was forced to sing instead of speak when Doc Greene's [[Tone-O-Tuner]] went out of control. {{storylink|I Have Heard the Robots Singing}}

As Chief had to decide what to put in a new time capsule that was to be buried, Graham nominated his tablet, however when an old time capsule was opened, the entire island was teleported to the [[Arctic]] and the team had to work to raise the forcefield dome. {{storylink|Now and Then}} After coming up with a plan to float the island back to Maine, the team had their work cut out keeping everyone safe and the island in the air. They eventually made it back. {{storylink|Today and Forever}}

Three years later, when Optimus contacted Heatwave to pass on plans for a new mainland base, Graham (who had recently completed his doctorate from [[Gremsky Technical Institute|Gremsky Tech]]), Doc Greene and Boulder worked together to realize the plans. Graham and Boulder paid a visit to the Hall of Inspiration to look at architecture, only for Graham to be abducted by aliens. {{storylink|New Normal}} They eventually finished building one end of the [[GroundBridge]] between the island and mainland, though when the first test stranded Heatwave, Chase, Cody and Frankie in the [[Sahara]], they had to work to get the travelers back. {{storylink|Bridge Building}}

Graham continued to work on the GroundBridge with Doc Greene and Boulder in an attempt to iron out the bugs. After [[CeCe Greene|CeCe]] went missing and was rescued by [[Quickshadow]], it turned out the malfunctions had actually been caused by the new Rescue Bot. {{storylink|Arrivals}} Graham took part in a mission set up by Quickshadow to transport [[Phodolite]] through town, however when part of the load spilled, the rescue team had to rely on Chase's plan B when Quickshadow didn't have one herself. {{storylink|Plus One (RB)|Plus One}} Following an incident at the town pool, the team relaxed at the [[Griffin Rock Fun Zone|Fun Zone]] until it turned out the [[Morocco virus]] had invaded the virtual reality game there. After the virus spread to other computer systems in town, Graham joined Boulder at the library and was able to disinfect the computers. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}}

The team had to deal with a number of unrelated disasters around town which eventually turned out to be a scheme by [[Madeline Pynch]] to drive everyone out so she could redevelop the island into a resort. {{storylink|Vanishing Returns}} When Evan and Myles were trying to steal Quickshadow, Graham and Chase helped give out [[Halloween|Earliween]] candy. They later took part in a fake movie to discredit the footage the two criminals had which would have uncovered the Rescue Bots' secret. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (RB)|Ghost in the Machine}} During emergency test week, Graham and Boulder discovered one of the emergency shelters was unstable, and as it turned out, it later collapsed, trapping Kade. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

The team helped Chase get elected as mayor, only to find that the Rescue Bot was so strict in his rule that he ended up endangering the island. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}} After being woken early-morning by Boulder celebrating [[All Spark Day (event)|All Spark Day]], the team had to deal with a marine rescue, and then CeCe Greene enlarged to giant size by the Minimizer. They later all celebrated All Spark Day with the help of the rest of town. {{storylink|All Spark Day (episode)|All Spark Day}} When the town's communications tower required replacing, the team took on second jobs — Graham took what he thought was a math tutoring job but was actually as nanny for [[Harrison (RB)|Mr. Harrison]]'s children. The townsfolk later chipped in with enough cash to replace the tower. {{storylink|Part-Time Heroes}}

Graham attended the opening of the mainland [[Rescue Bot Training Center]], though rather than take part in the festivities, he and Boulder worked on importing CeCe Greene's scan into the security system, only for the computer to put the base into lockdown. {{storylink|The More Things Change...}} The pair continued to try to debug the system until a suggestion from Cody led them to discover that CeCe's imprint had been added to the computer's personality by accident. {{storylink|The More Things Stay the Same}}

Graham and the rest of the team had their work cut out for them dealing with several near disasters during a series of motor races. {{storylink|Hot Rod Bot}} After a document was found that proved the Burns family was royalty, and Kade found being king wasn't to his liking, Graham inherited the crown, only to find the townsfolk were all coming to him for solutions to their troubles. He swiftly passed the crown on to Cody. {{storylink|King Burns}} Graham and Boulder was delayed attending the Pizza Pi Party as they were installing new solar panels. Unfortunately by the time they were done, the event had been stopped by an out-of-control batch of pizza dough which the team had to stop from covering the town. {{storylink|Pizza Pi Party}}

A training session on the mainland was cut short following a reuniting with Bumblebee, when it turned out Blurr and Salvage were not handling things well on Griffin Rock. The human half of the team ended up being stuck on the island when the training center went into lockdown thanks to an invasion by an [[energon eater]]. {{storylink|Uninvited Guest}} When Blades was unable to take part in a Lad Pioneer level up ceremony on the mainland, Graham created a portable hologram generator to disguise the Bot as a boy. Unfortunately this meant he had to come along on the trip in case anything went wrong, and ended up stumbling on [[Chickadee]]'s plan to find some lost emeralds. He managed to get the three of them out of the cave Chickadee trapped them in, and Chief later awarded him the last Lad Pioneer badge he needed. {{storylink|Camp Cody}}

Investigating some mysteriously falling Spruces resulted in Chase, Boulder, Chief and Graham temporarily getting lost in the woods. {{storylink|Once Upon a Time}} When the [[Mini-Con]] [[Bounce]] escaped to Griffin Rock, the team helped [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] recapture him. {{storylink|The Need for Speed}}

When Madeline Pynch got hold of a chunk of Energon, the rescue team put into action a plan to recover the Energon and arrest Pynch. Graham and Boulder hijacked the local cellular network and intercepted Pynch's phone calls so they could allow Quickshadow to take over as Pynch's car. {{storylink|Cody's 11}} A visit to the island by film star [[Maven Danger]] turned out to be a ruse so his agent, [[Skip Scobble]], could attempt to steal a rare book. {{storylink|A Brush with Danger}}

When Dani's test flight on a solar-sail spaceship ran into peril, Graham and Frankie monitored events from the ground and were able to calculate a slingshot course around the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in order to save the ship. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}} Boulder and Graham unsuccessfully attempted to interest Cody in engineering when the boy was trying to decide which line of rescue work to take up. {{storylink|Family Business}}

Following the revelation that an entire other town in [[China]] knew about the Rescue Bots, Optimus Prime reassigned everyone to look after the [[Scrubmite|Scrubber Initiative]], with Graham volunteering to join Chase, Boulder and Blurr looking after Professor Baranova's laboratory on the west coast. When the Morocco virus resurfaced, they were unable to prevent him from stealing tech from the lab. {{storylink|Upgrades}} With Morocco in control of the training center, Blurr and Baranova were set via land and succeeded in bringing Chase, Graham and Boulder in via the GroundBridge. They were able to purge the virus from the center's mainframe. Optimus later assigned Boulder and Graham to establish a new Bot/human community on the west coast. {{storylink|Transformations}}

[[File:Prima.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Prima? What? It's a manly name.]]
'''Prima''' (aka '''Prima Prime''') is the first [[Transformer]]. Created by [[Primus]], he was appointed the Warrior of Light and given the legendary [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]] sword with the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in its hilt.<ref>According to the [[Keeper (Transformer)|Keeper]] in "[[The Primal Scream|Primal Scream]]", Marvel US #61</ref><ref>[[Nexus Prime]]'s bio in [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 30]]</ref> Chosen to lead the [[Thirteen]] against their eternal enemy [[Unicron]], he and the rest of the Thirteen were made stewards of Primus' planetary form, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

It is uncertain what relationship Prima has, if any, to [[Primon]], another early Matrix bearer.

{{note|The Generation 1 cartoon incarnation of Prima was never named on-screen, and was identified only with the descriptor of "'''Powerful Robot'''" in the dialogue script for "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4". An edition of [[Ask Vector Prime]] in ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' retroactively dubbed this character Prima.}}

Prima was created from the corpse of another robot which the [[Quintesson]]s deactivated for its underperformance in its tasks. The robot was instantly smelted down and reformed into Prima, who, through unknown circumstances, became the second documented bearer of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Prima was unusual amongst his consumer goods brethren in that he was equipped for combat, and was made to battle in the Quintessons' gladiatorial pits. He found the endless fighting repellent, and, after a battle with [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Major]], decided to strike back at his masters, leaping at the group of Quintessons that had been watching the match. He was blasted out of the air, and fell to the ground in a smoking wreck, apparently deceased. He was succeeded as Matrix-bearer by [[Prime Nova]].

When [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] journeyed inside the Matrix, Prima was the second guide he encountered, and told him the story of the Quintessons' gladiatorial matches. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

After [[Primus]] had imprisoned his and [[Unicron]]'s astral forms in asteroids, he reshaped his new body into the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. From the material of this world was born the first Transformer, Prima. Prima and his fellow Transformers were given the gift of transformation, an ability that mirrored Unicron's own powers, so that one day they would be able to unite against him and defeat him. Prima was given the [[Matrix of Leadership|Genetic Matrix]], a powerful artifact endowed with Primus's own life essence, which would allow Prima to create further generations of Transformers. {{storylink|The Primal Scream}}

It is not known what Prima's fate was, but [[Prime Nova]] is recorded as the next Matrix bearer. {{storylink|Dark Creation}}

=====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic=====
Upon Prima's first emergence from primordial Cybertron, he didn't need to use the Matrix's power to bring forth new Transformers. The first few generations of Cybertronians could replicate themselves through a process known as "[[reproduction#budding|budding]]." However, the method of reproduction distilled Primus's essence with each generation. This process reached a pre-programmed end, and Primus's progeny lost both their ability to bud, and all memory of the process. {{storylink|The Power and the Glory}}

[[File:OP18 Thirteen in Crystal City.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|He also spent his free time writing strategy guides for video games.]]

Prima was one of the Primes who led the [[Thirteen Tribes]] that rose to prominence on Cybertron following the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]] from the planet, and fancied himself as the last of the Knights. Like four others, he was attracted to the [[Crystal City]] alliance, {{storylink|Origin Myths}} where he emerged as the leader of the [[Thirteen]]. [[Solus Prime]] eventually forged the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]] which Prima came to wield.

Urged on by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]], Prima oversaw a mission of colonization to expand the [[Pax Cybertronia]], sending the Titan [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]] to colonize the neighboring world of [[Antilla]]. Despite his claims that the Cybertronians had only sought to bring the "light" of their perfect civilization to the galaxy, the colonialist ambitions of Cybertron were laid bare, and as a result Cybertron came to be shunned and hated by the inhabitants of the galaxy. Prima laid the blame for this at [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]'s feet and was eventually attacked by his fellow Prime in revenge, only being saved through Solus's sacrifice. This act sparked the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], and while Megatronus managed to flee, Prima surmised [[Liege Maximo]] who was eventually exiled aboard [[Vigilem]].

[[File:OP18-PrimaDies.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|Prima's brief foray into 1000-degree knife videos ended in disaster.]]

Aboard the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Emissary (IDW)|Emissary]], Prima led Onyx and [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] to hunt down Megatronus and bring him to justice, eventually locating him on [[Tsiehshi]]. When Prima found his adversary, Megatronus promptly seized the Star Saber and turned it back on its wielder, bisecting him. Prima would never learn that the 'bot he had known as "Onyx Prime" was actually a convenient disguise assumed by a time displaced Shockwave from ten million years in the future, who proceeded to behead Megatronus before recounting to Alpha Trion a romanticized version of the battle that claimed Prima and Megatronus, now known as the Fallen, had slain one another.

The loss of his master caused Emissary to become distraught. After returning Onyx and Trion to Cybertron, Emissary interred Prima's remains within himself and set off for deep space, eventually crash-landing on prehistoric [[Elonia]] as a result of his systems being sabotaged by Shockwave. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

In Prima's absence, his former seat of power, the [[Citadel of Light]] came under siege by Onyx's bestial hordes. After [[Nova Prime|Nova Major]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] had managed to beat back the invaders, Alpha Trion arranged it so that Nova Major became Nova Prime. {{storylink|The Crucible}} In the era that followed, Prima was regarded as having been the greatest of the Primes. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}}

In early 2018, once the timeline had caught up with Shockwave's machinations, the scientist returned to Cybertron. After binding [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], he explained his journey to his old friend, including Prima's true fate. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

Prima was among the spirits of former Autobot leaders who resided in the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and haunted [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] after he stole the artifact. {{storylink|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe issue 12|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #12}}

====''Power of the Primes'' toy bios====
Prima's [[Spark]] passed into the possession of one of the twelve [[Prime Master]]s; hidden within a suit of decoy armor, they safeguarded the abilities of the Primes until the present day. By uniting with a larger Transformer, the Prime Master could channel the powers of Prima's Spark and grant them unique abilities that varied with each new partner. {{storylink|Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes}}
{{note|For a list of every permutation of Prima's abilities, see [[Prime Master/Combinations|this link]].}}

===Live-action film series continuity===
====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
After the Fallen was caught trying to harvest a [[Sun|star]] from a system with life, he turned on the other Primes and made war on them. In order to prevent the Fallen from harvesting the star, the remaining Primes (including Prima) hid the [[Matrix of Leadership|key to the harvester]] inside a tomb made of their own bodies and sealed it with their own life essence. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Prima's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]''. Where the comics had used the "Protoform Optimus Prime" toy to represent Prima, this design is not used in the film, so identifying which one is Prima is not possible.}}

====IDW movie comics====
[[File:TalesoftheFallen4-notlikethis.jpg|thumb|upright=1.75|Optimus got his father's everything.]]
Prima proposed to the [[Dynasty of Primes]] that they should make it a rule to not destroy the stars from systems with life. He also renamed [[the Fallen]] after the latter intentionally destroyed such a system. When the Fallen attempted this again on [[Earth]], the original seven Primes battled him and fell one by one, until only Prima was left. Prima let the Fallen chase him around the planet until he was weakened by overusing [[space bridge]]s, allowing Prima to gather his brothers' bodies and use their remaining power to banish the Fallen to his [[sarcophagus]]. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

Prima presumably created a [[Tomb of the Primes|tomb]] from his and his brothers' bodies to hide the [[Matrix of Leadership]], giving his own spark to seal it from within. Though the Fallen's evil would return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to kill the rest of the Dynasty, it would be his [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|orphaned descendant]] who would be hidden away. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

===Aligned continuity family===
====''The Covenant of Primus''====
[[File:TransformersVault-Prima.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.25|Whoever lives by the sword shall die by the sword.]]
As the first of the Thirteen created, Prima was cast in the mold of Primus himself, a warrior of great virtue and nobility who placed the greater good above all else. Though self-aware enough to not be a pompous leader to his siblings, he tended to take too much weight upon his shoulders, and his persistent conviction that he was always right made him difficult to deal with. He tended to clash with [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], who served as his opposite among the Thirteen, a warrior of darkness who represented a natural counterbalance to Prima's role as the warrior of light. Such arguments characterized their interactions while the Thirteen trained and prepared to take on the menace of Unicron.

In the course of the battle with Unicron, Prima lost his grip upon his Star Saber when the chaos-bringer assaulted the group with torturous visions. Although the Thirteen were able to shut Unicron down soon thereafter, they did not manage to do so before he had seized the convulsing Prima, put him in his mouth, bitten down, and spat his crushed body out.

Prima survived the experience, and the Thirteen turned to the business of building the beginnings of a civilization and society on Cybertron. Prima worked primarily with Vector Prime and [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]], but their clique was treated with some degree of resentment by some of their siblings, as it was thought they were trying to control the actions of the others. Prima continued to grow even more detached as they continued their work, spending his time theorizing about the nature of the Thirteen, and categorizing them; he considered himself and other early members of the group to be forces of lawful good, but looked upon the last that had been created—chiefly, Megatronus and [[Liege Maximo]]—as chaotic and potentially evil. When Maximo discovered the writings Prima had made about this and then told Megatronus, a physical altercation between Prima and his dark opposite resulted, a permanent wedge driven between brothers.

[[File:CoP war of the primes.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.25|"You think three on one will do any good? Do you have any power to defeat me?"]]

Some time later, when Prima discovered that Megatronus and Liege Maximo were working on a secret project of their own, creating a race of robotic creatures, he demanded it be shut down, suspecting them of having a sinister ulterior motive even if he could not see it. He forced the rest of the Thirteen into a vote on the matter and emerged victorious. This was to be the catalyst for the final falling out between the Primes: furious that she had voted against him, Megatronus subsequently argued with and inadvertently killed Solus. He retreated to the wilderness of Cybertron, but Prima and the others tracked him down and brought him back to face justice, only for it to become apparent that Maximo had set Megatronus up. Things quickly devolved into a chaotic free-for-all fight between the siblings, which ended with Maximo dead by uncertain hands. Megatronus was exiled for his crimes, but despite their differences, Prima provided him a ship and bade him farewell. Prima took custody of the Requiem Blaster and cast it into the depths of space.

As the rest of the Thirteen spread out into the universe, Prima was among those who decided to remain on Cybertron to guide the new race of beings that emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] after they interred the deceased Solus within it. Prima dubbed the more primitive and bestial of the creatures that emerged "[[Predacon (Prime)|Predacons]]". He defended the more advanced, bipedal robots that came from the Well against the powerful [[Predaking (COP)|Predaking]] once. Prima fought Predaking to a standstill, and declared the bipeds off limits for Predaking's feasting. His show of strength cowed the Predaking into submitting to Prima's will, the only example of such submission in Predaking's long history.

After the [[Great Cataclysm]], Prima vanished from the annals of history, and was no longer seen walking among the people of Cybertron. The surviving Cybertronians soon forgot about the Thirteen, remembering them only as the heroes of ancient folklore. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

====Aligned novels====
After Solus Prime created the Requiem Blaster for Megatronus, debate erupted among the Thirteen over whether so powerful a weapon should be allowed to exist. When the argument threatened to turn violent, Prima called for a vote on the matter; Megatronus won by one vote. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

When Optimus Prime received the Matrix from the [[Core]] of Cybertron, he recognized it as the jewel from the hilt of Prima's Star Saber. Upon accepting the talisman into himself, Optimus had a vision of all its previous holders, all the way back to Prima himself. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

According to legend, at the beginning of time, [[Unicron]] and [[Primus]] battled each other for eons, with neither side remaining victorious for long. Till, that is, Primus created the [[Thirteen]]. These Thirteen defeated Unicron and cast him into space. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

===Fun Publications===
[[File:Prima's Holomatter Avatar Zeus.jpg|upright=.5|thumb|right]]
[[Vector Prime]] described Prima as distant from his siblings in the Thirteen, weighed down by the responsibilities of the multiverse. Vector wished he had known his brother better. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/14}} When the Thirteen visited ancient [[Greece]], the [[holomatter]] avatar Prima used to interact with the natives inspired the myth of [[w:Zeus|Zeus]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/20}} During this time, he observed the animosity brewing between [[Liege Maximo]] and [[Solus Prime]] (who had manifested as Aphrodite and Hephaestus, respectively) and "bonded" them together in hopes they could work out their differences. His plan didn't succeed. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/08}}

Prima wielded the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]] in the Thirteen's clashes with [[Unicron]]. When [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] began acting for evil causes, his siblings resolved to keep Prima's Star Saber out of Megatronus's hands, so Solus shattered it with her [[Forge of Solus Prime|Forge]]. [[Nexus Prime]] volunteered to hide fragments throughout the multiverse. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 30|Nexus Prime's profile}} {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/18/5}}

When Nexus Prime united the [[Terminus Blade]] and the Star Saber, Prima and the other members of the Thirteen were drawn to witness the event. Time and space were rewritten that day, as the walls between universal streams grew stronger and less permeable. A consequence of strengthening the multiverse's properties was that Prima and the original Thirteen could no longer continue to exist as multiversal singularities, and so they were splintered and scattered throughout the multiverse. And so the one became many, sentient reoccurring themes each appearing in their own way, if at all, in all the worlds of the multiverse. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)

**''Accessories:'' Gun with flame attachment
{{note|Prima was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] from [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Protoform Optimus Prime]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]].}}

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the 2007 movie, ''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Transformers]]'' "Protoform Optimus Prime" transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:In robot mode, he resembles previous Optimus characters: His angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth. While an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble says "Exclusive movie poster!", it is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This mold was also used to make ''Movie Advanced Series'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#MAProtoform|Protoform Optimus Prime]].

He can also ride Legends Class figures, or attach to Deluxe Class figures' chest armor, Voyager Class figures' bucklers, or Voyager Class figures' combined modes.

==Notes==
*Prima, like all members of the Thirteen, was once a [[multiversal singularity]] who existed as one being throughout all of time and space, but that is [[Shroud|no longer the case]].
*Prima's Generation 1 cartoon [[character model]] appears to use [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] as a base, with heavily-re-worked details.
*In a 1989 Marvel UK issue, [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] told a reader "I don't think anyone knows who was actually the first ever Transformer. Correct me if I'm wrong though."<ref>[http://transfans.co.uk/media/2KX/media/comics/the_transformers_uk/dreadtidings/Issue240.jpg #240's letters page]</ref> It took many years but [[Hasbro|someone]] finally did!
*According to [[ABN]] in [[Recordicons#Recordicons #9|''Recordicons'' #9]], Vector Prime "always lies about Five Faces of Darkness". If true, this would mean that the guy from Five Faces is not necessarily Prima; we're keeping this page as-is because there's no objective evidence either way, and Prima is more convenient as a page title than "Powerful Robot".
*An idea from the [[Binder of Revelation]]—which has not made it into any fiction, and has been evinced only in the binder's profile page for [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] published in ''[[Transformers Vault]]''—posits that individual Transformers possess a "polarity" that indicates which of the Thirteen they can trace their lineage to. Based on Optimus's profile, Transformers descended from Prima possess a "Primian" polarity—but then, Optimus would later be revealed to actually ''be'' one of the Thirteen in Aligned continuity, so good luck figuring that one out.
*Hasbro representatives at [[BotCon 2010]], [[BotCon 2011]], and [[HasCon 2017]] pronounced Prima's name "Pree-muh" despite Prima's name being one along the lines of "[[Primus]]" and "[[Prime (rank)|Prime]]".<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/144732-hascon-2017-toy-reveals-megathread-prime-uh-or-preem-uh-pg-41/?p=3597912 Posts by crockalley and Sabrblade on the Allspark Forums, 2017/09/12]</ref> When his name was spoken by the [[Mistress of Flame]] in the ''[[Transformers: Titans Return (cartoon)|Titans Return]]'' cartoon episode "[[Overlord and Emissary]]"—which was also the first time his name was ever uttered in an animated ''Transformers'' work—it was pronounced more appropriately as "Prime-uh".

[[File:RescueBotsAcademyPoster.jpeg|thumb|right|250px|More rescues, more bots.]]
'''''Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy''''' is an animated cartoon series developed by [[Boulder Media Studio]] as a sequel to ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'', with [[Ben Ward]] as the lead writer. The series had a special advance premiere on [[December 8]], [[2018]], with the remaining episodes scheduled to begin airing on [[January 5]], [[2019]] on [[Discovery Family]] in the US and [[Pop TV]] in the UK. Two 52 episode seasons are currently planned, and like ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Transformers: Cyberverse]]'', each episode runs for 11 minutes.<ref>https://tvshowscancelled.com/transformers-rescue-bots-academy-renewed-for-season-2-by-discovery-family/</ref> The voice cast of ''Rescue Bots'' did not reprise their roles, with existing characters being re-cast with voice actors from the same [[New York]]-based casting pool as ''Cyberverse''.

Intended for more of a preschool audience than its predecessor, the series follows the first class of the new [[Rescue Bot Training Center|Rescue Bot Training Academy]], learning from the more experienced [[Rescue Bot]]s how to respond to emergency situations and become heroes.
