HI! I just wanna say im immature and an idiot. I like to have fun so dont expect someone uptight or anything like that.

I joined this site because I LOVE TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED. Here is the story of how I began to like it. Its so stupid but its true.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
''"When it first aired I thought it was stupid. But on a Saturday I watch the end of Lost and Found when I was waiting for another show to come on and I liked the end. So then on Sunday I watched the whole episode and really liked Transformers. After that I checked the cartoon network schedule and saw it was on at 6am every weekday. So for the next few days I woke up early and watched it. But when I looked it up online it talked about episodes I'd never seen so I went on youtube and watched EVERY single episode of season 1 and 2. And then I loved it. So every morning from that point I woke up at 5am and watched it at 6am. I also watch it online alot. Ive must have seen each episode of season 1 and 2 at least 20 times tops. Ive seen each season 3 episode 5 times maybe more. I watch it every time it comes on."

Talk:Endgame, Part II

2009-06-15T21:04:16Z

TransformerChick: /* Time Issue */ new section

==Matrix==

The Matrix is probably the All Spark in a new tamper proof packaging. [[User:Decepticonman|Decepticonman]]
09:20, 23 May 2009 (EDT)

Is there ANY confirmation as to what it is, or is it just speculation? [[User: Eire]] 18.51 May 23 09 (UTC)

Now this is just speculation, but that above suggestion is probably speculation. All the same, it may be an idea to ask our usual source about that Matrix on his twitter, or at Botcon next week... [[User:Shadow Mask Prime|Shadow Mask Prime]] 09:21, 24 May 2009 (EDT)

I'm surprised it's on a chain round his neck. Was a G1-style compartment too expensive? Of course, it's possibly supposed to be visible but still... -Cassius335 {{unsigned|92.9.177.11|16:03, May 24, 2009 EDT}}

:If it looks like the Matrix... it is probably the Matrix. It isn't some random object. We don't have a problem assigning names to all those cameo characters. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 18:11, 24 May 2009 (EDT)

==Remaining Decepticons==

Thundercracker, Skywarp, Scrapper, Mixmaster, Dirtboss, and possibly Lockdown need to be added to the list of remaining Decepticons. [[User:Decepticonman|Decepticonman]] 09:18, 23 May 2009 (EDT)

== Not Dinobot Island. ==

As far as I can tell by the shape of the Isle, I would say it isn't dinobot island, but an other one. Am I right?--[[User:GUIGUI|GUIGUI]] 18:03, 23 May 2009 (EDT)
:No sir, you are not. Dinobot Island's shape got changed when that huge crescent-chunk got blown out of it during "Predacons Rising". - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 18:05, 23 May 2009 (EDT)

== Starscream clones and AllSpark fragments ==

{{Quote|Ahh... but your clones are just lifeless shells without my AllSpark fragment to bring them online.|Starscream Endgame 1}}
{{quote|Who needs your fragment?|Megatron}}
Starscream animated his clones with his AllSpark fragment. Starscream thinks his fragment will bring all three online. The clones don't need one fragment of their own each. There is nothing to say the clones have their own fragment. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 20:56, 23 May 2009 (EDT)
:When Screamer's bringing his clones online during A bridge too close part 1, he's seen breaking off a small fragment of his own fragment, inserts it into Skywarp's empty spark conatiner, and Skywarp then comes online. Presumably, this is how he brought all of the clones online. They do have their own Allspark fragments... Very small ones, it seems, but they still do have them. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] 21:01, 23 May 2009 (EDT)
::Thank you. I forgot that. I updated the [[Starscream clone]] page. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 21:07, 23 May 2009 (EDT)

==Lugnut Supreme theme music==
It's been a while since I saw it, but didn't the second Terminator movie feature nearly the same droning roar noise-music thing following the unstoppable badguy around? -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 10:36, 24 May 2009 (EDT)
:Yes, I noticed that too. It's very similar.--[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 12:36, 24 May 2009 (EDT)

== Starscream Supremes ==

This part was a bit odd, I'll admit, but it doesn't seem like a continuity error... To me, it doesn't even look like he was controlling them. When Lugnut was controlling the clones, it looks like he had to consciously convey every order to the Supremes... When Starscream "took over" he wasn't doing such thing... He was just flying around, and the clones were moving on their own accord... From what I can tell, it looks like Screamer slipped in a prerecorded message along with some sort of program to tell the clones to defend themselves, all the while heading for a specific location, along with those bombs. That's what I made of it. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] 14:25, 24 May 2009 (EDT)
:But that's the thing - Megatron COULDN'T DO THAT. He had to have Lugnut piped in because he didn't have the security patch, that wasn't the way he wanted to run them.
:And then Starscream pulls it off, not just without the security patch but without ANY of the codes - and thus without activating the clones to his own personality - gets them into an autonomous mode without so much as being piped in? Continuity error. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 14:36, 24 May 2009 (EDT)
::I personally like to think that Starscream is just more clever then Megatron is, so he figured something out Megatron couldn't... Or maybe there wasn't any additional security patches, the reason they couldn't get through was because of Screamer's meddling in the first place... But that's just me getting speculative. Personally, I'd like to wait for the WOG to clear this up a bit, if we ever get to ask them. But until someone official clears it up, all right, continuity error it is. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] 14:50, 24 May 2009 (EDT)
:::Cleverer than Megatron? Possibly. Cleverer than Shockwave? A lot less likely. - [[User:Magnus Maximus|Magnus Maximus]] 14:55, 24 May 2009 (EDT)
:::: I dunno, personally, Screamer came off to me as pretty darn clever... And Shockwave seemed nearly fumble his own cover often... But this is really getting into the territory of "I like this character better personally, so he's clearly the most clever character!" so yeah... In either case, it's undeniable that Screamer has the most experience with cloning technology out of all of them. That could have given him the edge in this situation. Whatever the case may be, I'm not touching this until any new official information pops up. --[[User:Ascendron|Ascendron]] 15:05, 24 May 2009 (EDT)
===Reference to "Key to Vector Sigma?===
Hello,
I have signed in. I intended to edit this page and add a "Transformers Reference" to the effect that Prowl merging with the All Spark is reminiscent of Alpha Trion Merging with Vector Sigma in "The Key to Vector Sigma." But discovered that the page was locked, preventing editing. why?
:Registered users can edit it. Anonymous and newly registered users are blocked to ensure that [[spoilers]] and other shenanigans do not make their way onto the page before the episode airs. You just registered, so it will take a while before you can edit it. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 23:25, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

==Loose Ends==
Not a super-strenuous objection, but I'm not quite sure what the point is of listing out all the uncaptured Decepticons / loose ends here. We don't do it elsewhere (I haven't checked EVERY series ender, but we don't do it for The Rebirth III of G1, Endgame III of Beast Machines or the last episode of Cybertron, finishing out the Unicron trilogy) which makes it seem out of place here. In fact, it's only because Animated is so tightly written that it's even possible - a list of the loose ends left over from The Rebirth would probably be about 40 screen lengths long. Keep in mind that while a 4th season is off the table, shows HAVE been known to come back with a direct-to-video special now and again, and there have been rumors of some sort of comic book continuation.

If we DO decide that this content is worth having somewhere, wouldn't it be best served on the overall franchise page? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 19:40, 31 May 2009 (EDT)

:Does anyone else even have an opinion on this section? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 19:58, 1 June 2009 (EDT)

::I think that it's worth having, although I'm open to the idea of moving it elsewhere if that's what everyone else thinks. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 20:33, 1 June 2009 (EDT)

:::I think Sari's ambiguous origin deserves a mention. It was a theme that ran throughout the show that never got suitably explained. But yes maybe it would be better served on the franchise page. The other stuff is ultimately unimportant. [[User:MrBlud|MrBlud]]

== Time Issue ==

Some scenes had to be cut for time and I was wondering WHY Couldn't they have just made the episode longer because there aren't anymore season so now what happens to what wasn't explained. [[User:TransformerChick|TransformerChick]] 17:04, 15 June 2009 (EDT)

Alpha Trion (Animated)

:''Alpha Trion is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated|Animated]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:AlphaTrionDecepticonAir.png|thumb|right|250px|Use the Force, Luke.]]

'''Alpha Trion''' is a member of the [[Autobot High Council]], presiding over serious matters indeed. He is head of all of the civilian guilds that make up the non-military portion of the council, making him the highest ranking non-military authority on Cybertron, answerable only to [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]].<ref>According to [http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2009/03/secret-origins.html#c8254367157207564248 this response] from [[Derrick Wyatt]] on his own blog.</ref>

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Phil LaMarr]] (English)
[[Image:Alphatriontranswarped.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Being interviewed by Barbara Walters, apparently.]]
Alpha Trion was present at the council meeting where Ultra Magnus announced that the likely coordinated attacks on [[space bridge]]s by the [[Decepticon]]s were the work of a spy in their midst. He gave [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]] an odd look when the security director rather abruptly demanded that all communications from [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]]'s crew on [[Earth]] be filtered through him, "no exceptions". {{storylink|TransWarped}}
Alpha Trion, [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]] and [[Cliffjumper (Animated)|Cliffjumper]] had a "council" talk regarding how they didn't want [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]] as commander. During Sentinel's parade through a Cybertronian city with [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] and the [[Starscream clone]]s, Alpha Trion and Perceptor seemed less than impressed by the temporary [[Magnus]]'s attitude. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

Alpha Trion was given his first real assessment of Sentinel Prime's ability to lead when [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] appeared over the capital city under the control of [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. Sentinel advocated that they attack immediately and end the threat of Megatron at once. However, [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], Omega's former mentor-bot, in the company of [[Captain Fanzone|a small organic]], said that Omega had absorbed so much transwarp energy that destroying the huge Autobot could take Cybertron with him. Alpha Trion announced that the High Council would deliberate on its options. Ratchet, however, broke out in an attempt to make contact with Omega Supreme, and Sentinel Prime diverted all essential energon to [[Fortress Maximus (Animated)|Fortress Maximus]], ultimately firing on Omega Supreme, who transwarped away. After that, Alpha Trion made sure that it was known that Ratchet and the organic were the real heroes of the day, and reprimanded Sentinel for disregarding the Council's authority. Sentinel shot back that he'd repeat his actions again if it meant saving Cybetron, and Alpha Trion made his position very clear: if it were up to him, Sentinel would never get that chance. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

==Trivia==
*With his age catching up to him, Alpha Trion is considering retiring to an Energon farm or merging with [[Vector Sigma]].<ref>http://twitter.com/DerrickJWyatt/status/1455430772</ref>

[[Image:ABridgeTooCloseII-OmegaSupremeRobotMode.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Deus ex machina? I wouldn't want to be presumptuous]]

The last line of defense for the [[Autobot]]s, '''Omega Supreme''' was literally built for heroic sacrifice. Grimly aware of the heavy combat toll his friends must have suffered for him to even be activated in the first place, Omega does not hesitate to unleash his colossal firepower and risk his own life and safety on their behalf.

In fact, he ''did'' perish during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], after which the Autobots used [[Teletran-1|his dead body as a spaceship]] to ferry a maintenance crew around. But he got better.

{{ongoing}}
:''Voice actors:'' [[Kevin Michael Richardson]] (season two, English), [[Phil LaMarr]] (season three, English); [[Gerald Paradies]] (German)

[[Image:TransWarpedOmegaBirth.jpg|thumb|200px|left|I am...[[Iron Man|IRONMAN]]!]]

Omega Supreme was the end product of "Project Omega", an Autobot attempt to create a weapon of mass destruction that would serve as their last, best hope of defeating the Decepticons and ending the Great War. Built with a simple processor so that he would be able to perform his duties as a death-bringer without ethical or emotional qualms, Omega was to be partnered with a mentor that would guide him in his actions. This mentor was intended to Autobot intelligence officer [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]], who was carrying in her processor the codes to bring Omega online, but when an encounter with [[Lockdown]] and [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] wiped her memory core, a failsafe program transferred the codes to Ratchet, and the medic was left with no choice but to become Omega's teacher. Omega was brought online and introduced himself to Ratchet as his to command; his pupil, dependant and servant. Ratchet merely introduced himself as Omega's friend.

[[Image:TransWarpedDefeatedOmega.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Help, I've fallen, and I can't get up!]]

Omega Supreme successfully carried out his mission, bringing an end to the Decepticon threat in a mighty battle that left him fatally wounded. At Ratchet's instruction, Omega transformed into spaceship mode, and Ratchet placed his friend into a modified form of stasis until he could eventually be repaired. {{storylink|TransWarped}} For reasons unknown (possibly the simple lack of need the Autobots had for his power, now that the war was won), Omega was never brought back online, and his body became a simple ship in the Autobot [[space bridge]] repair fleet known as [[Teletran-1]]. Ratchet stayed by his friend's side, serving as a member of the crew that came to populate Omega's inactivate body. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

[[Image:Teletran-1Animated.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Why wear a Che Guevara t-shirt when you can ride around in his taxidermized corpse?]]

The ship's crew, operating in a remote sector of Autobot-controlled space, stumbled upon the lost, legendary [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] and was almost immediately attacked by the Decepticon [[Nemesis (Animated)| flagship]]. Massively outgunned, the Autobots survived only by escaping through a space bridge portal, whereupon their ship crashed on [[Earth]]. Decades after the crash, the Autobots were reactivated, and their battle with the Decepticons revived with them. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

[[Image:Ark_in_mountain.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Not a proper burial, per se.]]

{{Note|For detailed information about the ship and its activities on Earth, see [[Teletran-1]]}}

When [[Blurr (Animated)|Blurr]] alerted [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]]'s crew to the fact that [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] was on the verge of constructing a working space bridge to Cybertron, Optimus ordered Ratchet and [[Sari Sumdac|Sari]] to attempt to revive Omega Supreme. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}

Through "open-[[spark]] surgery", using four AllSpark fragments and making heavy use of the [[Key]], Ratchet finally managed to revive his old friend. Omega was initially delirious and confused, thinking he was still fighting his dying battle on Cybertron and telling Ratchet that he was surrounded by Decepticons and didn't think he would make it. He soon got his bearings, but he was still slow and unsure after being offline for two million stellar cycles, and he needed heavy prompting from Ratchet to move. When he finally did get himself airborne, he was shocked and happy at his return to life, but he was at a loss as to how he got on a world other than Cybertron.

His reverie was quickly interrupted by an attack from several Decepticons. Following further hefty prompting from Ratchet and power boosts from his magnetics and the Key, he was able to transform and strike back. Declaring his name to the Decepticons, he made short work of the villains, and proceeded to enter Megatron's base. There, he found the space bridge in overdrive, threatening to pull the entire [[Michigan|state]] and transport it to some random co-ordinates. Ejecting Sari and Ratchet over Ratchet's vocal protests, he absorbed the [[transwarp|TransWarp]] energy and was sucked into the malfunctioning portal, which then fully self-destructed. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

Not long after, Omega's inactive body was discovered by Megatron and [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]], who had both also been pulled through the space bridge portal before it was destroyed. Seeing an opportunity, Megatron forced his way into the slumbering giant's body, but in doing so, caused Omega to reactivate. Omega's internal systems seized and disarmed Megatron, but the charismatic Decepticon exploited Omega's simple mind and convinced him that it was his duty to take him back to Cybertron "face justice". Omega transformed back into ship mode and revealed a heretofore unseen ability to TransWarp under his own power, without a space bridge, but one short jump drained him of all his power, and he returned to sleep mode before reaching the planet. Unable to escape Omega's heavily armoured body, Megatron instead used a pair of [[stasis cuffs]] to "hotwire" Omega's body, opening up his control cockpit and taking manual control of the giant Autobot. Before Megatron could do anything, however, Omega was beset by some strange, space-borne alien rock monsters, and the Autobot TransWarped away to safety, once again draining all his power.

[[Image:TransWarpedOmegaMegatron.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Omega(TRON) Supreme.]]

Megatron fixed that problem by inserting Starscream's head—and the AllSpark fragment it contained—into Omega's systems, charging him up. Megatron TransWarped Omega to Earth, where he transformed the titan to robot mode and took control of his body to attack Optimus Prime's Autobots. Prime and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] were able to infiltrate Omega's body, and Prowl accessed Omega's internal processor in order to help Omega's suppressed consciousness fight back against Megatron's control. Omega succeeded in rejecting Megatron, but Starscream then promptly seized control and turned Omega's power on both the Autobots and Megatron. Even as Omega fought against Starscream and begged the other Autobots to take him offline again, Megatron talked Starscream into an alliance. The pair were about to TransWarp Omega to Cybertron when the Autobots planted a [[plasmadynamic thruster]] on their friend's body, which sent him and his two Decepticon passengers randomly warping across space. {{storylink|TransWarped}}
Eventually, the transwarping ship would come across Lugnut, reuniting him with Megatron as he had wanted.
{{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

He, Megatron, Starscream, and Lugnut transwarped to Cybertron and stayed floating above it til the end of the episode. While Sentinel Magnus tried to put all of them offline. At the end of the episode they transwarp to Earth's moon with Shockwave and Arcee joining the fabu party.
{{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

==Notes==
*As with most of the characters in the show, Omega Supreme shares many similar details with his [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], specifically his clear orange face mask, the cannon at the back of his head, his three-fingered right hand and his massive left-hand blaster. Ratchet also describes him as the Autobot's "last line of defense", a role which was also given to the original.

This is evidenced in his better choice of vehicle mode disguise, a "sweet ride" drawn from Earth culture. He is a [[Cyber-Ninja Corps|Cyber-Ninja]], like [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]]. However, his training is more progressed, and instead of ninja stars he wields a pair of nunchaku. He seems to be the only one of the Elite Guard willing to learn, and fits in with the Earth team pretty well.

He is ''incredibly'' cool.

[[Image:Freaked jazz-1.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Booga booga!]]
Jazz accompanied [[Supreme Commander]] [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]] to [[Earth]] to retrieve [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]]'s crew and the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]]. When Magnus ordered Jazz to activate a [[force field]] around [[Elite Guard flagship|their ship]] to prevent [[Human|organic]] contamination, Jazz expressed interest in getting a closer look at them. This caused Sentinel Prime to warn Jazz that the organics would eventually spit acidic goo that would melt through his body armor and destroy vital [[Circuits|circuitry]]. Jazz was...less willing to meet the organics after that.

[[Image:Jazzanimatedaltmode.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Suddenly, Bumblebee's less popular.]]
When [[Sari Sumdac]] managed to sneak aboard their ship, he tried to send her out without provoking her. When she realized that Jazz was afraid of her, she tried to scare him. After [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] explained that Humans were harmless (and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] explained that Sentinel Prime was a jerk), Jazz accompanied the Autobots to a Sumdac manufacturing plant that was going haywire. Jazz and Prowl managed to keep the AllSpark-powered [[police drone]]s away from Sari and Optimus long enough for Sari to shut down the assembly line. He and Prowl traded several martial arts-centered quips throughout the battle, talking about [[Metallikato]] moves like the "[[Five Servos of Doom]]" attack. {{storylink|The Elite Guard|The Elite Guard}}

When Ultra Magnus started to receive reports of [[Decepticon]] uprisings at the rim of the galaxy, Jazz commented that it was probably because they'd "got wind" that [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] was still online.

[[Image:Sentinel vs Optimus%2C with Jazz in the middle.jpg|left|180px|thumb|"Right now, we need to stop fighting each other and start fighting the bad guy. Dig?"]]
Later, Jazz noticed a spike in AllSpark energy, and Ultra Magnus took him to investigate, leaving Sentinel Prime to watch Optimus Prime. Their combined attempt to remove the "SmallSpark", which [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] had booby-trapped, failed, and they were blown off the train in which it was embedded. Optimus and his crew, with the help of Sari and the [[Key]], successfully and safely removed the AllSpark fragment, but Jazz could only watch as they received a dressing-down from Ultra Magnus for becoming involved. Then Starscream himself crashed to Earth, courtesy of Megatron's cannon, and knocked out Magnus. Jazz turned to Sentinel for orders, but the panicking Guardsbot was unable to think of anything. Optimus took over, directing his crew and Sari to various tasks; and himself, Jazz and Sentinel to take down Starscream—although Jazz needed to talk down the posturing pair of [[Prime (rank)|Primes]] before they could get to fighting the bad guy.

His nunchaku proved ineffective, however, and he was swiftly knocked out, leaving Optimus to save the day again. Jazz later escorted Optimus's crew in taking the [[Stasis lock|stasis locked]] and gagged Starscream to be imprisoned in the Elite Guard's ship, before the three Guardsbots and their ship departed, leaving Optimus and his crew to deal with the remaining Decepticons on Earth. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished|Mission Accomplished}}

Jazz was present as Starscream escaped the Elite Guard ship. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon|A Fistful of Energon}}

''When the Elite Guard decided to begin [[Safeguard (Animated)|Project Safeguard]], Jazz and Sentinel voiced dissent, stating that Autobots don't fly. Jazz's discomfort only worsened when he saw [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]]. He was soon assigned to train them. While taking them on in battle to guage their abilities, Jazz seemingly won quite quickly, but as soon as he turned his back the twins defeated him with ease. Later, he was observing the twins in simulated training when [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]] tried putting Starscream's coding into the program. The Starscream code took over, trapping the twins and preventing Jazz and Sentinel from disconnecting them. They were powerless to help, and the twins had to save themselves by discovering the ability to merge into Safeguard. {{storylink|Rise of Safeguard}}''

Jazz was later onboard the Elite Guard ship, along with Ultra Magnus and Sentinel, during the galactic battles with the Decepticon rebels when the received a transmission from [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus]] requesting back-up. Jazz had told him to hold on a little longer. But by the time the Elite Guard had arrived, [[Team Chaar]] had already left, albiet [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron's]] orders. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

[[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]] had later sent Jazz, accompanied by Sentinel, Jetfire, and Jetstorm, to go after the supposed traitor [[Wasp]]. However, Wasp had retreated to Earth, much to Longarm's dismay, as he had ordered all contact with that planet be filtered through him. Despite this, Jazz and the others still went after the traitor. When they found Optimus Prime's crew, they revealed that Longarm was really Shockwave, a Decepticon double-agent, and that Wasp had been innocent the whole time. Despite this, Sentinel Prime still wanted Wasp brought in, but the crazed Autobot got away. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

Sentinel had later succeeded in capturing [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]], [[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sunstorm]], [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]], and [[Lugnut]], leaving [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] to suspect he was getting help. Jazz had this suspicion, too, and followed him to find that he was bargaining with [[Lockdown|a double-dealing bounty scum]]. Jazz and the others defeated Lockdown, along with [[Liar Starscream|another Decepticon fugitive]]. While they had captured the clone, Lockdown had escaped. Jazz later became impressed by Prowl's new armor, especially [[Yoketron]]'s helmet. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

When Sentinel realised he was needed on Cybertron, the Elite Guard packed up and headed for home. Jazz was disappointed, as he had enjoyed being on Earth. {{storylink|Predacons Rising}}

On the return trip, Jazz and Sentinel were contacted by the Autobot council, who wished to discuss Sentinel's temporary promotion. Sentinel let this go to his head, and told Jazz to refer to him as "Commander". He also directed Jazz to take them through an unstable ion storm, despite Jazz's protests. As Jazz piloted them in, energy from the storm somehow restored Swindle, who had been stuck in [[Alternate mode|altmode]]. Swindle instigated a prisoner break, releasing the other Decepticons, and lead them in an attack on the Elite Guard. Jazz requested that Sentinel contact Cybertron for help, but fearing repercussions for allowing the escape to happen on his watch, he sent a coded message to Optimus instead. Appearing unexpectedly through a Transwarp link within Swindle's chest, Optimus Prime was able to free the Elite Guard. He then made sure the Decepticons could hear him order Jazz to modify the ship's decontamination chamber to freeze its occupants. However, he simultaneously gave Jazz a secret coded order to set up the chamber to freeze those ''outside'' of it. Thus, when the Decepticons eventually recaptured the Autobots and placed them in the chamber, it backfired, allowing the Autobots to escape and recapture all the prisoners but Swindle and [[Lugnut]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

Having returned to Cybertron, Jazz began chafing under Sentinel Magnus' militant approach. When [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] and [[Captain Fanzone]] accidentily transwarped to Cybertron, Jazz followed orders and helped capture them. However, once they had escaped he tailed them, and eventually helped them by granting them access to the Elite Guard infirmary so they could search for [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]]. After battling [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]], Ratchet was able to recapture the [[Stormbringer (Animated)|Magnus Hammer]], but refused to give it to Sentinel. Instead, he escaped took it with him back to Earth, intent on keeping it from Sentinel and protecting it for Ultra Magnus. Sentinel started to follow him, but Jazz volunteered to go instead. Upon his arrival on Earth, he informed Rathchet that he'd had enough of Sentinel and promptly volunteered his services to the Earthbound Autobots. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

:''Ultra Magnus is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:TFA Ultra Magnus promoimage.JPG|right|350px|thumb|He can deal with you. He'd just rather not.]]

Wise{{fact}}, powerful, and utterly committed to keeping the peace of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] at any cost, '''Ultra Magnus''' is the [[Magnus]] and [[Supreme Commander]] of the Autobots and the leader of the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]]. A veteran of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], Magnus is exceptionally straightforward in his dealings on every level. He makes no bones about some of the [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|questionable]] [[Safeguard (Animated)|projects]] he's enacted in order to counter the threat of the more heavily-armed [[Decepticon]]s, and doles out both praise and admonishments to his subordinates without hesitation. Magnus may not be the most likable bot around, but he is completely honest at every level.

Magnus is no slouch when it comes to combat, either. When he needs to enter the fray, his colossal "Magnus Hammer" [[Stormbringer (Animated)|Stormbringer]]<ref>"Roadbuster Ultra Magnus" packaging [[bio]]</ref> can call down devastating lightning from the sky.

{{bigquote|Whoa... now I get why they call you "Ultra" Magnus.|Bumblebee is impressed|"[[The Elite Guard]]"}}

{{ongoing}}

:''Voice actor:'' [[Jeff Glen Bennett]] (English), [[Gerald Paradies]] (German)

During the Great War, an Autobot intelligence agent named [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]] was in danger of falling into [[Decepticon]] hands. Ultra Magnus sent Ratchet to recover her so the access codes she held in her data banks couldn't be used to deal a devastating blow to the Autobots. He specifically ordered Ratchet to bring Arcee back in one piece, but due to a run-in with [[Lockdown]], her memory was erased by Ratchet's EMP generator. {{storylink|The Thrill of the Hunt}}

Desperate for the access codes she'd been carrying, Magnus had Ratchet perform open-processor surgery on her. When Ratchet's proximity triggered a failsafe data transfer, Magnus assigned the medic to take her place as the activator/mentor to the Autobots' ultimate weapon: [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Project Omega]]. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

Long after the end of the war, an Autobot Academy washout named Optimus Prime attempted to contact Magnus to report that 1) he and his maintenance ship crew had discovered the legendary [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]], and 2) they were now being pursued by Decepticons. Though nearly denied by [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], Optimus Prime got patched through to Ultra Magnus to report on the discovery. Magnus still didn't believe the Decepticons would pose much of a threat, but agreed to dispatch some ships to escort [[Autobot ship (Animated)|Optimus' ship]]. He warned Prime not to pull any heroics, as it wasn't in Prime's programming.

This, of course, would all go out the window once it was discovered that the Decepticons in pursuit were in [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron's]] [[Nemesis (Animated)|flagship]], at which point the Autobots decided that they should book it. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

[[Image:Eliteguardleaveshuttle.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Airport management, the FAA and the airlines—they're all cheats and liars. All right, let's get outta here.]]
Eventually, Ultra Magnus located Earth with Sentinel Prime and [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]]. Upon landing on [[Earth]], Magnus seemed to trust Sentinel's judgment regarding the planet. This might well have been because the big blue lug wouldn't let anyone else get a word in edgewise. Hearing that the AllSpark had been supposedly destroyed, Magnus announced that he intended to take these charges very seriously and investigate. Adopting the vehicle mode suggested by his subordinate, the Autobot Supreme Commander proceeded to drive around downtown [[Detroit]] as a massive military vehicle. Smooth.

[[Image:Ani Ultra Magnus alt.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Not just heavy duty. Ultra heavy duty.]]
However, once he was led to [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]], he had to bail out that same subordinate, who had angered the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]]. After a distress call from [[Sumdac Systems]] was answered, he turned the tide in a battle against malfunctioning [[police drone]]s. As Optimus Prime acted bravely, loyally, and with sound tactical judgment during that incident, he commended the wayward Academy bot, simultaneously putting Sentinel in his place, much to Sentinel's chagrin. Seeing evidence that the AllSpark indeed still existed scattered about the city, he settled in for the long haul. {{storylink|The Elite Guard}}

Ultra Magnus was unable to come to the press meeting, so Sentinel Prime went in his place. Supreme Commander Magnus wanted a report about the reported Decepticon activity, and about Sentinel "losing [his] head". Optimus covered for Sentinel, stretching the truth in front of him. Magnus left to report to [[Cybertron Command]] on "a matter of great importance". {{storylink|The Return of the Headmaster}}

Upon his return, Magnus received a report from [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]] that there was an increased amount of Decepticon activity at the galaxy's rim, particularly targeting [[space bridge]]s. Ironhide was unable to report further, as the Decepticon attack destroyed the transmitter. Since Magnus had still not seen any evidence of Decepticon activity on Earth, he reasoned that resources were better dedicated to the defense of Cybertron and its colonies, and thus ordered Optimus and his crew to prepare for departure.

Taking Optimus Prime aside, he expressed concern that should the general population come to believe that Megatron was still alive, it would incite a panic and embolden the Decepticons. Optimus objected, but Magnus felt that easing the concerns of the civilians was their duty to Cybertron. Optimus continued to drag his heels until Magnus was alerted to AllSpark activity on a commuter train. Ordering Sentinel to remain behind to keep an eye on Optimus, he left with Jazz to investigate.

After his hammer proved insufficient to dislodge the AllSpark shard, he was ultimately saved by the insubordinate Optimus and his crew, particularly the intervention of [[Sari Sumdac|the little organic]] with the [[Key]]. Optimus insisted that the whole event was a Decepticon trap, just as Sentinel Prime arrived with charges of assaulting a fellow officer. Finally having enough of the insubordinate repairbot, Magnus was about to give Optimus Prime a serious reprimand—right when evidence of Decepticon activity quite literally fell into his lap as [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] was knocked from the sky. As Starscream rebooted, Magnus ordered his subordinates to stay back while he dealt with Starscream, only to be blasted away by the flying traitor. Magnus was repaired by Ratchet and Sari while the remainder of the Autobots brought Starscream into custody. Once all was said and done, Magnus apologized for doubting Optimus Prime's claims of Decepticon activity, and again praised Optimus's decision-making skills and scolded Sentinel for insisting that things be "by the book". He also decided that while he was needed to direct the war effort on Cybertron, the Decepticons on Earth had to be dealt with as well. Therefore, Ultra Magnus and the Elite Guard left for Cybertron, while Optimus Prime's crew remained on Earth to locate the AllSpark shards and capture the Decepticons. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}}

Ultra Magnus later witnessed Starscream's escape from his ship and contacted Optimus Prime to inform him of the breakout. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon}}

Ultra Magnus contacted the Earth Autobots to inform them that a convicted traitor named [[Wasp]] had escaped from prison. After finding out [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] had some history with him, Magnus requested he keep an optic out, on the off chance the traitor showed up on Earth. {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}

In the wake of Megatron's return, Magnus found himself faced with ever-mounting attacks by Decepticons on space bridge outposts all over the galactic rim. As a security measure, he ordered the entire space bridge nexus on Cybertron shut down, much to the consternation of Intel Chief [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm Prime]]. He then convened a meeting of the Autobot High Council, at which he announced that the level of coordination in the Decepticon uprisings indicated an inside source, a Decepticon double agent on Cyberton. Longarm Prime was quick to assert that the agent in question was Wasp, as the Decepticon activity had occurred following the fugitive's escape. Magnus assigned Sentinel Prime and Jazz to assemble an Elite Guard unit to track down Wasp, then ordered that they contact Optimus Prime, as the Earth Autobots had been out of touch for [[units of time|decacycles]]. He was a bit nonplussed at Longarm Prime's insistence that all communications with Earth be filtered through Longarm himself first—for security reasons. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

[[Image:WhereIsThySting-UltraMagnusDamaged.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"I can drop mine down a staircase and it's perfectly fine."]]
Despite Longarm's request, Magnus ordered Jazz and Sentinel Prime to pursue Wasp to Earth without letting Longarm know, lest word of the pursuit somehow reach Wasp and give him warning. Unfortunately, Magnus was preparing against the wrong traitor. Caught off-guard by a desperate Shockwave, Magnus was left heavily damaged and bereft of his hammer, barely able to tell [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]] who was responsible. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

[[Cliffjumper (Animated)|Cliffjumper]] informed Sentinel Prime of the details, noting that the Autobots had been thrown into shock and despair. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

Though Ultra Magnus survived the attack, he was left incapacitated and on [[spark support]]. Sentinel Prime returned to Cybertron to assume command as a "temporary Magnus," though the other members of the Autobot Council disapproved of his rush to take control and his penchant for secrecy. In his inaugural parade, Sentinel swore that Ultra Magnus would be avenged, and the crowd cheered approvingly.{{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

[[Image:TFA-ThisIsWhyIHateMachines-UltraMagnusSparkSupport.jpg|thumb|210px|"I will deal with you now."]]
His image was used--kind of gratuitously--in an anti-Decepticon propaganda ad by acting Magnus, [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]. Comatose in the [[Cybertron Central Infirmary]], he was seen by [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] and the Decepticon spy [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]] as their fight spilled over into the room he was being held in. With a final goodbye to his former boss, Shockwave was preparing to deal the fatal blow with Magnus' hammer, when Ratchet blasted it and then Shockwave with his EMP Generator, saving Ultra Magnus (for the time being). {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

[[Image:Leaderanimatedultramagnus.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Too... awesome... should've sent... a poet...]]
* '''Ultra Magnus''' (Leader, 2008)
**''Accessories'': Hammer

:Having broken free of his forefathers' reliance on [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|redecos]], Ultra Magnus transforms into an 8-wheeled [[wikipedia:Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck|Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck]], and if his ''twelve'' guns aren't quite enough, he wields a giant hammer with which to... hammer things. He can simply grip it in his hand or one can attach it by inserting the tab on the handle into the slot in his palm. Pressing the red switch on the side of the vehicle mode activates laser sound effects and causes his guns to light up yellow. Rotating his shoulders down or up activates transformation noises. In robot mode, pressing his Autobot symbol will make his mouth move, and he will say one of three phrases: "Don't be a hero, Optimus. It's not in your programming," "Ultra Magnus here," and "We must return the Allspark to Cybertron." Unlike his fellow speaking ''Animated'' toys, however, he is ''not'' voiced by Magnus's in-show actor Jeff Glen Bennett—although somewhat ironically, whoever is providing the toy's voice actually does a ''better'' [[Robert Stack]] impression than Bennett does. His guns can be hidden in both modes for show-accuracy, or deployed for Blowing-Everything-Up-accuracy. And to make it even better, he's compatible with the [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster]] accessory!

:Unfortunately, there are reports of problems with the sounds on several units. Some have partial sounds or no sounds at all, while others have overly sensitive sensors for the shoulder joints, leading to transformation sounds every time you move the arms. Also, an inordinate number of units suffer from notably poor quality control of the face's paint applications. (At least this can be checked before you buy, since the toy is packaged in robot mode.)

:This version has yet to be released in the UK, seemingly passed over in favour of the Roadbuster variant below with no explanation from Hasbro.

==Trivia==
* In voicing Magnus, Jeff Glen Bennett seems to be channeling [[Robert Stack]], who voiced [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|the original Ultra Magnus]] in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

* He actually isn't the [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|first]] full-sized Ultra Magnus not to be an Optimus Prime redeco, though he's the first one in about 7 years.

* In ''Animated'' continuity, "Magnus" is a rank. It is unknown what Ultra Magnus's name was before he reached said rank. The ranking schema established in "[[Autoboot Camp]]" suggests that Ultra Magnus may at one point have been "Ultra Prime", "Ultra Minor", and before those, simply "Ultra". Since we know little of his past, we cannot yet say which of these levels he may have actually achieved. However, in "[[The Elite Guard]]", Bumblebee suggests that, until a certain point, he was unsure why "Ultra" had been part of Ultra Magnus's name, only understanding it after witnessing a display of heavy firepower. This is in keeping with Autobots receiving their names in boot camp.

:''Sentinel Prime is <strike>a jerk</strike> an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:TFA Sentinel Prime promoimage.JPG|right|300px|thumb|"Where's the jerk who calls himself Sentinel Prime?" "I am that jerk!"]]
'''Sentinel Prime''' is a member of the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]] under the command of [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]]. Sentinel has a history of rivalry with [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]], who attended the [[Autobot Academy]] with him. In his academy days, he was somewhat of a maverick, leading the more responsible Optimus to refer to him as a "walking malfunction". Of course, he's the one that ended up on the Elite Guard while Optimus was sent off to repair space bridges, of which fact he's all too fond of reminding his former classmate. He also has a bit of a superiority complex toward non-guardsmen Autobots, not to mention that he's intensely organic-phobic.

All things considered, he's kind of a jerk.

He usually transforms into a Cybertronic bulldozer, but temporarily adopted the form of a snow plow truck for his stay on Earth. He later briefly returned to his original form after leaving the planet, but re-assumed the snow plow mode for a return visit. He possesses an energy lance and an arm-mounted shield which can be expanded into a force-field, as well as tossed about as a weapon. Basically, he'd be a knight in shining armor...if he wasn't such a jerk.

Don't mention his [[chin]]. He's a little touchy about it.

{{Spoiler|Endgame, Part I}}
[[Image:Animated sentinel1.JPG|left|200px|thumb|"You're gonna need tickets to—THE GUN SHOW!"]]
Sentinel took Optimus and [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Elita-1]] on a mission to [[Spider planet|an organic planet]] looking for an old Decepticon warship, hoping to get all the [[Energon (G1)|energon]] stored within. However, they ran into a pack of massive arachnids. Sentinel tried to hold them off long enough for Optimus and Elita to escape. When he came across a ship that Optimus and Elita had found, Optimus had to drag him away from the exploding energon, forcing them to leave Elita-1 behind. Optimus's radar couldn't find Elita's energy signature, and he assumed that she was dead. A furious Sentinel blamed Optimus for what happened, even though this whole disaster had been ''his'' idea. Jerk. {{storylink|Along Came a Spider}} When Ultra Magnus brought the two up on a military tribunal, Optimus gallantly took the fall — while Sentinel just stood there smirking. Jerk.{{storylink|Endgame, Part I}}

After graduation from the Academy, he received an official rank as Sentinel ''[[Minor (rank)|Minor]]'', the drill officer for an Autobot training camp. Obviously compensating for being a jerk, he took out his frustrations on recruits like [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]], [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]], [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm]] and [[Wasp]]. Busting their transistors at every turn, he liked to conduct surprise inspections and force the recruits to chant that they were worthless grease stains. Of course, in Bumblebee's case, the extra attention was not exactly unmerited, as the little glitch-head managed to get Sentinel's feelings on whether Ultra Magnus should retire from command broadcast across the camp. In the end, he commended Bumblebee for his role in discovering a seeming Decepticon traitor. Then Bumblebee admitted to accidentally knocking a tower on him (actually covering for Bulkhead), and Sentinel gave him the boot. Jerk. {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}

Years later, he was still a jerk, but a jerk with prestige, having been promoted to Sentinel ''Prime''. When Optimus Prime rang up the Cybertron Elite Guard to tell them of the Decepticons in pursuit, he sneered that a screw-up like Optimus wasn't worth the attention of Ultra Magnus. Seeing a piped-through visual of the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] from the cargo hold of [[Teletran-1|their ship]] shut him up quickly enough. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

''After the ship was lost, Sentinel found himself the only one who knew Optimus well enough to give him a eulogy. However, while his words were reasonably civil, his thoughts were not. Later, when Longarm pressed him to continue the search, Sentinel acted like an old man and told him some things are best left buried. Jerk.'' {{storylink|The Arrival issue 1|The Arrival #1}}

[[Image:Sentl prime alt.jpg|right|200px|thumb|When the snow starts a-falling, There's a man you should be calling...]]

Later, the Elite Guard visited Earth to reclaim the AllSpark. When [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]] decided to take a closer look at the humans, Sentinel warned that organics could spew out slime that melts through armor plating, deliberately goading Optimus Prime with memories of Elita-1's fate. He decontaminated Optimus Prime's crew after setting a force field around the ship. When he heard that they'd defeated [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] and the Decepticons, he didn't believe Optimus, almost causing a fight between him and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]]. Sentinel boasted to Ultra Magnus that he had taken the initiative and scanned some "typical" Earth vehicles so they would not draw undue attention. He had, in fact, scanned massive, destructive vehicles for them both.

En route to [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]], Sentinel further evidenced how subtlety obviously isn't his strong point by driving through a blockade and off an overpass still under construction. When he, Optimus and Magnus arrived, they encountered the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]], and Sentinel began to attack, believing their technology was primitive. [[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]]'s subsequent [[transformation]] caught him off guard. They then went back to the city to take care of malfunctioning [[police drone]]s. Sentinel started to act like a jerk again, more worried about organic contamination, and vowed to see Optimus arraigned on charges of high treason, but Optimus had got enough of Sentinel's mouth and finally told him off, asserting that his former friend was on his turf now and should respect Optimus's decisions. Unsurprisingly, Sentinel was unmoved. Even when shown proof of the AllSpark not being destroyed, Sentinel's attitude did not change. He was thus rather surprised when Ultra Magnus said that Optimus had characteristics that Sentinel himself could stand to learn. {{storylink|The Elite Guard}}

[[Image:Sentinelprimeanimatedbattlemask.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Come one, come all! Join the merriment at the Cybertronian Renaissance Faire!]]

[[Image:Sentinelprimeanimatedknightmode.jpg|right|150px|thumb|He's here to eat giant turkey legs and kick butt...and he's all out of giant turkey legs.]]

Not taking the criticism to heart at all, he continued to be a general jerk to Optimus, the local police, humans, and pretty much everyone. His comeuppance would soon come in the form of a humiliating body-jacking by the [[Headmaster (Animated)| Headmaster]]. Putting his reputation (and his noggin) in Optimus Prime's hands, he trusted his comrade to help him get his body back without letting anybody else find out. In this state, he was slightly less condescending to Optimus, but it was hard to talk down to someone when reduced to a tenth his size. He still had choice words about Optimus's actions in the process of saving his body, however, such as ripping its arm off and using his head as a soccer ball. Deep down, Optimus was enjoying himself.

After recovering his body, Sentinel had to face the embarrassing prospect of reporting to Ultra Magnus, but surprisingly enough, Optimus covered for him. It took every ounce of effort for the big guy to utter a "thank you" to his comrade later.

While in the Headmaster's possession, Sentinel's body's weapons were upgraded into more powerful forms. At the moment, it's not clear whether Sentinel got to keep the upgrades when the Headmaster Unit was separated. {{storylink|The Return of the Headmaster}}

Unfortunately, the whole Headmaster debacle ''still'' failed to purge Sentinel of even a dram of his jerk quotient. When Optimus protested Ultra Magnus's decision to have his crew join the rest of the Autobots off-Earth, Sentinel was quick to jump on Optimus, saying that ''no'' sign of Decepticon activity had been detected (failing to consider that the Decepticons had been dampening their signals). He even went so far as to bribe Optimus with an offer of reinstatement in the Elite Guard if he went along with the official story. Through all this, he was more than slightly keen to slap [[stasis cuffs]] on Optimus in order to get him to comply with Magnus's orders.

[[Image:Sentinel Prime shocked.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Will get owned again...]]

When the Elite Guard's ship detected an AllSpark fragment in a runaway passenger train (actually a trap set by [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]), Sentinel was irritated to find that he had to stay behind and nursemaid "Maintenance Prime" while Ultra Magnus and Jazz set off to investigate. The situation got worse when, discovering Decepticon presence, Optimus goaded Sentinel into a blind attack and took the opportunity to slap the stasis cuffs on ''him.'' Poor sap... (snicker)

Sentinel eventually worked his way out of the cuffs and pursued Optimus to where the AllSparked train had stopped, threatening to have him tried and blacklisted for assaulting an Elite Guard, dismissing out of hand Optimus's justification of Decepticon involvement. Fortunately for Optimus, Megatron and [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] chose that moment to blast Starscream to the ground in front of the Autobots.

[[Image:Sentinel vs Optimus%2C with Jazz in the middle.jpg|right|180px|thumb|"You're a jerk!" "No, you!" "No, YOU!" Ummm... bad guy?"]]

Sentinel had to take more time than the other Elite Guards to rally; unlike Magnus and Optimus, he had never seen a Decepticon before. Initial dismay aside, Sentinel did manage to last longer than the other Autobots against Starscream's onslaught, but the only reason he didn't fall was that Optimus took the stasis cuffs Sentinel had brought with him (anticipating Optimus's formal arrest as he was) and slapped them onto Starscream. Sentinel still thought Optimus drew out that battle on purpose.

Afterwards, Magnus expressed admiration over Optimus's willingness to disregard what were clearly ill-informed orders—praise to which Sentinel, predictably, objected. This just earned him another chastisement from Magnus about how sometimes the right thing ''was'' to trust one's gut over the book. Shortly afterward, the Elite Guard departed for Cybertron. Sentinel could probably sigh in relief—no more looking worse than the "washout". {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}}

Unfortunately, while the Elite Guard was in deep space, Starscream managed to escape his stasis cuffs and get out of the their ship. Being the jerk he is, Sentinel probably thinks Optimus is responsible for that happening. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon}}

Things only got worse for Sentinel, as his former trainee and convicted "traitor" Wasp escaped from prison. Pursuing the former Autobot across an asteroid field, Sentinel had a standoff with Wasp at a space bridge relay point. The escapee activated the space bridge, and, blinded by its energies, Sentinel assumed Wasp had gone through it to parts unknown. In reality, Wasp had mustered what little cunning his shattered mind had left and faked out the Elite Guard member by hiding behind the archway. As usual, Sentinel's deductive skills left something to be desired, so he returned to base. {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}

Later, Sentinel, Magnus and Jazz took the Elite Guard's flagship to back up [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus Prime]]'s team, who were defending [[space bridge 687-030]] from [[Team Chaar|a Decepticon raiding party]]. As the Elite Guard arrived, however, Megatron ordered all of his troops to withdraw, having changed his plans thanks to a [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|recent acquisition]]. After returning to Cybertron, Sentinel and Jazz were ordered ''back'' into space to hunt down the "traitor" Wasp. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

Upon arriving in Earth orbit, Sentinel was contacted by an agitated Longarm Prime. Now head of Autobot Intel, Longarm was upset that Sentinel's ship had entered Earth Sector when Longarm had ordered that all contact with Earth be filtered through him first. Sentinel was annoyed, since Longarm had sent them to intercept Wasp in the first place. After Ultra Magnus cut in to explain, Sentinel confirmed for Longarm that no one had heard from Optimus Prime's crew in at least a [[units of time|decacycle]].

Upon touchdown near [[Detroit]], Sentinel was disgusted with yet another aspect of Earth: rain. He quickly proved he had no ability to handle rain-soaked pavement in vehicle mode, further bruising his ego. With their other crew members already dispatched to hunt for Wasp, he and Jazz arrived at the Earth Autobots' base just after Wasp (actually Bumblebee in a forced disguise) had departed from there. Sentinel was all for chewing out Optimus for not answering his comlink, and he didn't care about Optimus's "excuses", as he had a fugitive spy to catch. It didn't help that Optimus pointed out said spy had just slipped past Sentinel, then claimed that Longarm was the real spy. Disgusted with such a brazen, baseless accusation, Sentinel ordered Prime's group to stay out of his way, then he and Jazz departed.

Eventually, he found Prime and Ratchet battling his new recruits, [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]] and [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]], whom they'd mistaken for Decepticons since the new pair could fly. Sure, he hadn't told Prime about them before, but that was Prime's fault for butting in on Elite Guard business. Prime still insisted Wasp wasn't a double agent, but Sentinel would hear none of it and ordered the jet twins to find Wasp again. While he struggled to avoid skidding on the pavement and keep pace with Jazz, Optimus and Ratchet, he got word from Jetstorm that he and Jetfire had found Wasp, but that Bulkhead and Prowl were apparently his cohorts. Prime continued attempting to persuade him that he was on the wrong track, but Sentinel was all for arresting everyone and letting Ultra Magnus sort it out.

Back at the Earth Autobots' base, "Bumblebee" tried to prove his identity by recounting the various ways he'd inconvenienced Sentinel during 'Bee's stint in boot camp—most of which Sentinel didn't remember. Sentinel quickly got fed up and ordered "Wasp" wheeled out, but then Bulkhead hit upon a sure-fire way to tell who was who: a versus round of Bumblebee's latest video game passion, ''[[Ninja Gladiator]]''. Despite Sentinel's doubts, the real Wasp quickly revealed himself, taking 'Bee hostage and escaping. Jazz realized the full import of this revelation: The true Decepticon double agent was the head of Autobot Intel. Sentinel protested that Prime should have told him this in the first place. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

[[Image:5servos sentinel kicked.jpg|left|thumb|]]

Remaining on Earth, Sentinel made contact with the bounty hunter [[Lockdown]] for a mutually beneficial arrangement: if Sentinel supplied him with parts from the Elite Guard ship, Lockdown would turn over Decepticons to Sentinel and let him take the credit. His ego overriding his sense of superiority, Sentinel agreed, bringing the captured Decepticons and taking all the credit. Only the twins believed that Sentinel was really making the captures alone, especially as Sentinel was both vague and defensive about how he captured the Decepticons. Finally, Lockdown needed a gyrostabilizer from the ship, in exchange for the [[Liar Starscream]]. Prowl followed Sentinel, and discovered the arrangement, but was betrayed by Lockdown and the clone, and placed in stasis cuffs. Despite using Sentinel as a hostage, the Autobots showed little restraint in attacking, even though they only succeeded in hurting Sentinel. The battle ended with Sentinel being driven into the ground head first. After establishing contact with Cybertron, the Autobots learned that Ultra Magnus had been attacked by Shockwave, but was recovering. Optimus decided not to inform Cybertron Command of Sentinel's misconduct, but instead gave sole credit for the captures to Prowl. Even though he wasn't going to be court-martialled, Sentinel was still displeased that he didn't get a single ounce of credit. Annoyed, Optimus reminded him that there were more important things than his ego, but gave Sentinel fair warning: when smoke clears, there will be a reckoning. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

[[Image:TFA-PredaconsRising-OhSentinel.jpg|thumb|Yes, he '''is''' pointing yonder while being supported by an electromagnet to the head.]]
Even knowing Wasp was innocent, Sentinel continued to pursue the 'bot, leading to a chase through the streets of Detroit as Optimus and Bumblebee attempted to reach him first. When they did, a jurisdictional argument between Optimus and Sentinel allowed Wasp to slip away... only for him to be flown away by a [[Swoop (Animated)|a Dinobot]]. Despite Optimus warning Sentinel off, Sentinel pursued them to Dinobot Island under [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]] in his own... unique... manner.

[[Image:TFA-PredaconsRising-SentinelBlackArachnia.jpg|thumb|left|DIE MUTANT FREAK DIE!!!]]
Bulling past the Dinobots, Sentinel entered the laboratory inside... to be confronted by what Elita-1 had become, and the experiment she was undertaking on Wasp. Blackarachnia's existence as a [[technorganic]] disgusted him to the deepest core of his spark, and he wished she had gone offline on the spider planet. In return, after the emergence of the technorganic "Waspinator", she attempted to drain him dry. He was saved by a pursuing Optimus, and shortly afterward Blackarachnia was transwarped to apparent oblivion by the exploding Waspinator. Sentinel walked off without a word.

As he was set for departure to Cybertron to take his place as acting [[Magnus]], he discussed what had happened with Optimus, and admitted that they should never have gone to the spider-planet in the first place. {{storylink|Predacons Rising}}

[[Image:TFA-DecepticonAir-SentinelJazz.jpg|thumb|"Jazz old friend, I don't know which disgusts me more: Your cowardice or your stupidity! We'll simply set a new course for that empty region over there. Near that blackish, holish thing."]]
On the trip back to Cybertron, after a failed interrogation of the Decepticon prisoners, he was contacted by [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]], [[Alpha Trion (Animated)|Alpha Trion]] and [[Cliffjumper (Animated)|Cliffjumper]], to inform him that the [[Autobot High Council]] intended to make the news of the attack on Ultra Magnus public. Sentinel was unhappy about this, but they reminded him that the decision was for the full Council to make, and that his "taking control" as acting [[Magnus]] was premature, since Ultra Magnus was still online, albeit on [[spark support]]; and Cliffjumper wound him up further by reminding him that Prowl, not SP, had been given credit for the capture of the Decepticon prisoners. As a result, he took his frustrations out on Jazz, ordering him to take [[Elite Guard flagship|the ship]] to full power - even after Jazz reminded him it would use up all their energon - and to steer through a stormy nebula.

The effect of the electrical storms on the ship then caused [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]] to be freed of his transformation lock, and in turn he freed the other prisoners. They then attacked the bridge, and with Sentinel refusing to contact Cybertron and let them know what his mistake had wrought, he sent [[Broken Lance|a coded message]] to Optimus Prime, asking for help shortly before they were all captured. Optimus then [[transwarp]]ed in through Swindle's personal storage dimension, refused to obey a single order from Sentinel, thought up a plan to defeat the Decepticons and set Jazz to it, used Sentinel as a bludgeon to knock [[Lugnut]] away, and saved the day. Chastened, even Sentinel had to admit Optimus had done a good job, and offered him the position on the Elite Guard he would have to vacate to become Magnus, although Optimus declined. He then dropped Optimus back on Earth, and they mutually saluted in goodbye.

Finally arriving at Cybertron, Sentinel proceeded to lead a parade across Cybertron in his own honour. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

[[Image:TFA ThisIsWhyIHateMachines Sentinel Propaganda.jpg|left|thumb|He's the Decider!]]
Sentinel Prime immediately began putting out propaganda warning Autobots that anyone they knew could be a Decepticon spy, began shutting down facilities like [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] as a security measure, and started viewing any challenge to him as treason. When the Decepticon-occupied [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] appeared in the skies above Cybertron, Sentinel immediately advocated firing on it, ignoring a displaced [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet's]] warnings that Omega was so transwarp-saturated that this would ''take out the planet''.

Ratchet's opposition led to Sentinel having him hunted down for treason. Jerkier still, Sentinel prepared to fire on Omega while the Council were still discussing the matter, and he lied to them about his intentions. Luckily, when he did have the Elite Guard's [[Fortress Maximus (Animated)|Fortress Maximus]] fire on the titan, the Decepticons transwarped away. Sentinel brushed off the Council's ire and tried to take [[Magnus Hammer|Ultra Magnus' salvaged hammer]] from Ratchet, attempting to pursue and arrest the medic when Ratchet simply took the hammer with him back to Earth. Jazz volunteered to go instead, taking the opportunity to get out from under Sentinel's command. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

*'''Sentinel Prime''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Lance, shield

: Sentinel Prime transforms into a metallic blue monster-truck snowplow, and is armed in robot mode with his trademark shield and lance. Either item can fit in either of his hands, and the shield has a ring mount to allow the lance to attach to it for transporting on the back of the vehicle mode. Surprisingly for an otherwise pointy object, the lance is actually cast in hard plastic. The weapons are also painted blue rather than cast in translucent plastic, an unusual choice for modern "energy" weapons". The toy also has an abandoned light-piping gimmick: not only are the eyes painted over, but the eye-piece is cast in black plastic, making it useless.

: Unfortunately, due to being released in the Deluxe size class, the Sentinel toy is ''technically'' incompatible with the [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster]] accessory, which is only designed to work with Leader-class toys. You actually can wedge it on to him quite snugly, though.

: Due to a quirk of the transformation process, the plow on the front of the truck can be angled left or right, just as on real-world snowplows. That's some mighty fine scannin', Sentinel!

==Notes==
[[Image:TFASentinel-OriginalHead.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Spooooon!!]]

* Sentinel Prime's blue coloration and ''especially'' pronounced [[chin]] (even by normal ''Animated'' standards!) really make him look like [[wikipedia:Tick (comics)|the Tick]]. He's even voiced by Townsend Coleman, who provided the voice of the Tick in his 1990s animated series. At the Cartoon Network panel at BotCon 2008, it was confirmed that Sentinel's design was created after Coleman was cast for the role. It's pretty evident that the writers are running with it, having him utter silly, Tick-esque lines like "Energon-y goodness!"

* At [[BotCon 2008]]'s [[Cartoon Network]] panel, [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] confirmed that originally the character of Sentinel Prime was going to be named Rodimus Prime, but the idea of casting Rodimus as a big jerk didn't sit well with [[Hasbro|some people]]. But they'd eventually find some use for [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus]] somewhere, to be sure!

* Wyatt also related some previously unknown design trivia at BotCon 2008: At the time "Transform and Roll Out" went into production, the only part of Sentinel Prime that had been fully designed was his head. However, this turned out to be a non-final design; in his subsequent appearances, Sentinel's head is shorter and squatter, with a more bulbous chin and dark grey instead of white. Also, in "Transform and Roll Out", he has a set of extra smoke stacks/antennae on his shoulders, which would vanish during his first full-body appearance.

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Animatedarcee.jpg|right|250px|thumb|In Japan, I'm a secretary!]]
Before the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] '''Teaching Unit R-C-687-040''' - '''Arcee''' for short - was a teacher, giving young Autobots the knowledge to make their own decisions and spurring them to think for themselves. Once the conflict erupted, she became an intelligence officer for the Autobot war effort, serving under [[Highbrow (Animated)|Highbrow]] in such risky endeavors as [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Project Omega]].

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Susan Blu]] (English), [[Silvia Mißbach]] (German)

[[Image:Ratchetanimatedthrill.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"Hi, good-looking, get sick here often?"]]
Arcee was a teacher on [[Cybertron]] and an Autobot intelligence officer during the War. Originally intended to be the commander of [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]], she carried crucial access codes for his activation. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

At one point, Arcee was damaged in the line of duty. [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] repaired her and tried to take her to safety, but the two were attacked by [[Lockdown]], who had been hired by the [[Decepticon]]s to bring her in.

Held prisoner within Lockdown's ship, Arcee insisted that Ratchet use his [[electromagnetic pulse]] tool to wipe the codes from her head. Lockdown overheard this and tried to stop the pair, but in the struggle the device overloaded and sent out a powerful burst. In the confusion, Ratchet and Arcee were somehow able to escape... but Arcee no longer knew who or where she was. The EMP blast had wiped her memory clean. {{storylink|The Thrill of the Hunt}}

[[Image:TransWarpedArcee.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Well, this [[Spotlight: Arcee|looks familiar]].]]
Arcee was later taken to Cybertron, where [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] made Ratchet perform open-processor surgery on her vivisected head in an attempt to obtain the access codes for Omega Supreme's activation. This triggered a failsafe which copied the codes to Ratchet's memory. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

[[Image:TFAni ThisisWhyIHateMachines Arcee Earth.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Dames—always waking up at the worst possible moment!]]
Arcee never awoke from the open-processor surgery, and was stored for the subsequent four-million-plus years in the [[Cybertron Central Infirmary]] in a comatose state. When the Decepticons needed to acquire the command codes to "restart" Omega Supreme into a dreadnought loyal to them, both [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]] and Ratchet reasoned that their best chance for this would be from Arcee herself. The two of them battled over Arcee and, thanks to the blundering interference of [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], Shockwave won—abducting Arcee and escaping with her onto Omega Supreme, which Megatron then commanded to transwarp back to [[solar system|Earth's solar system]]. [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]] was certain that the damage to Arcee's circuitry was totally irreversible, and there was thus no way for the Decepticons to get the codes from her... but apparently he forgot to tell Arcee herself, who soon woke up on the Decepticon-controlled Omega Supreme, calling for Ratchet. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

== Body templates ==

Omega Supreme and Lugnut seem to clearly have the same bodyform, and it seems impossible that Lugnut was ever an Autobot. Could somebody tweet Wyatt and ask him if Omega was built based on Lugnut?[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 09:05, 16 May 2009 (EDT)
* It's probably just a co-incidence. Personally, I don't find the two much similar-structure wise. [[User:New Era Outlaw|New Era Outlaw]] 09:13, 16 May 2009 (EDT)
:They don't have the same bodyform! What are you talking about? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 09:19, 16 May 2009 (EDT)
::Obviously not at the same size, but look at them - same hands, both have shoulder wings, lobe-head with no neck, same kind of legs, vent-shoulders...Omega's pretty much an upsized-version of Lugnut. Hell, even though I knew they were building Dark Sentinels, they looked exactly like giant Lugnut's until they did the visor face.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 09:25, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

Carmine Fanzone

TransformerChick: /* Animated cartoon */ Removing Spoiler Tag

:''Captain Fanzone is a [[human]] from the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Captainfanzone.jpg|right|200px|thumb|NYPD Bluestreak]]
'''Captain Carmine Fanzone''' is the apparent head of the [[Detroit]] police department. He hates machines, but in an "I'm old" sort of way rather than being evil or anything. However, despite his oft-repeated mantra of "''This'' is why I hate machines/robots" whenever some device in his vicinity goes on the fritz (often with comedic, embarrassing results), he's pragmatic enough to make use of technology when needed. For example, he's a world champion at yelling at subordinates through megaphones for added effect. And firing heavy weaponry at [[Dinobot (Animated)|rampaging robots]].

Despite his endless battle with the march of progress and general poor luck, Fanzone is a good cop, dedicated to protecting the people of his city, even if he dislikes certain demographics. He's also not a bad guy to have in a brawl. He doesn't ''completely'' trust the [[Autobot|Autobots]], but he's at least assured that they mean well and, like him, are here to protect and serve the people of Detroit. He just wishes that they'd stop destroying so much of the city in the process.

Along with machines, he also hates lawyers and kids, but most of all, he hates tech support for machines.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Jeff Glen Bennett]] (English), [[Axel Lutter]] (German)

It was the beginning of a bad day when Captain Fanzone got a call for all units to respond to [[Sumdac Systems]] down by Lake Erie. (It was in the middle of his lunch break.) Taking command of the assembled emergency units, Fanzone quickly realized that they were in over their heads fighting a rampaging cybernetic bug-slug, and he ordered all humans to fall back and allow the drones to deal with the creature. When he noticed four cars refusing to fall back, he demanded to know who they were...at which point he realized [[Prowl (Animated)|a cop bike]] had no driver, and [[Captain Fanzone's car|his own car]] was among the group. It got even weirder when it turned out they were [[Transformer|alien robots]], but [[Sari Sumdac|some little girl]] managed to talk the cops down from shooting at the invaders.

Several days later, Fanzone, the Mayor, [[Isaac Sumdac]], and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|that robot that looks like his car]] were taken hostage by [[Starscream (Animated)|an evil jet]], but were saved by the aforementioned little girl and the cop bike. As the cop bike took him down, Fanzone declared that this is why he hates machines. Thankless primate. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

Fanzone was courted by [[Prometheus Black]], who hoped to use the Captain's mistrust of machines in general and Sumdac products in specific to win his company a contract with the Detroit police department. However, once he saw the berserk rage that [[Colossus Rhodes]] displayed when smashing up the parking lot of an arena, he decided he didn't much like Black's biotechnology either. Not long after, he presided over a demonstration of new Sumdac models which proved to still have a few bugs in the system. Sumdac mentioned that these models had much better recognition systems, thus avoiding a repeat of "the unfortunate incident with the Captain's wife". However, sabotage courtesy of the newly minted supervillain Meltdown ensured that the new robots were still far from ready for prime-time. {{storylink|Total Meltdown}}

[[Image:Fanzone.jpg|left|200px|thumb|It's amazing what you can find on eBay these days...]]
When police responded to the rampage of the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]], Captain Fanzone arrived and asked how bad it was into his megaphone...to an officer who was standing right next to him. The officer pointed at the rampaging robots, as [[Snarl (Animated)|a mechanical triceratops]] sent a car flying through the air, which hit Fanzone's car, crushing it. Captain Fanzone remained completely unmoved, then grabbed a bazooka from a nearby officer and fired at the triceratops...which promptly ate the projectile. Fanzone again proclaimed his dislike of machines. {{storylink|Blast from the Past}}

After [[Nanosec]]'s defeat by the [[Autobot|Autobots]], Fanzone took the suddenly elderly supervillain into custody. {{storylink|Nanosec (episode)|Nanosec}}

Captain Fanzone accompanied a number of DPD officers to a military base where the [[Decepticons]] [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] and [[Lugnut]] had been sighted. He was quite miffed to find that the two giant alien robots had apparently vanished into thin air, unaware that the two had adopted [[Earth]] modes and were hiding in plain sight, and with very odd color schemes. {{storylink|Lost and Found (episode)|Lost and Found}}

[[Image:TFA Survival Fittest Fanzone Grimlock.JPG|right|200px|thumb|Fanzone knew he shouldn't have booked that vacation to Jurassic Park...]]
Captain Fanzone was brought in to lead the investigation regarding Sari Sumdac's disappearance and probable kidnapping. In questioning the Autobots, he was somewhat dubious as to the merits of teaching a little girl "ninja nerve blows." After noticing suspicious behavior from Prowl and Bulkhead, he resolved to follow the two Autobots and pursued them in a (increasingly leaking) submersible. Luckily, Fanzone arrived on [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|the island]] safely, though his vessel crumbled into pieces. Nature proved almost more hostile to the Captain than technology, ultimately resulting in him getting trapped in quicksand and requiring rescue from the very individuals he was shadowing. Grudgingly going along with them, he uncovered Prometheus Black's plan to genetically alter Sari into a biotechnological shapeshifter. His outrage was brief, however, as the mad scientist dropped him into a gladiatorial arena and sicced [[Fusion creature|his failed experiments]] on the Captain and Prowl. Forced to team up to survive, the Autobot earned the Captain's respect and trust as they fought their way out of the research facility. {{storylink|Survival of the Fittest}}

And then that trust was destroyed along with a good portion of Detroit after [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s [[Megatron Rising - Part 2|rampage]]. When an [[Elite Guard flagship|alien ship]] landed in Detroit, Fanzone told the Autobots to stay away, lest something worse happen. When it turned out to be the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]], Fanzone was resigned to the fact that the Autobots would have to deal with them. While the Autobots aboard the alien ship, he refused Sari Sumdac's plea to go to their aid. Once [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] stepped out and told them they were Autobots, Fanzone appeared mildly relieved—until [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|a missile carrier]] and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|a jerk monster truck]] rolled right after Prime, with the later vehicle denting Fanzone's car. Why did it have to be robots? {{storylink|The Elite Guard}}

During a press conference with [[Mayor Edsel]] and the monster truck named Sentinel Prime, Fanzone received a phone call from what he believed was a woman reporting on Decepticon activity. Heading to old Detroit, Sentinel Prime condescendingly told the humans to stay away. Later, he was on hand to arrest [[Headmaster (Animated)|Henry Masterson]], only for [[Porter C. Powell]], the new CEO of Sumdac Systems, to arrive and point out that Masterson had committed no real crimes, as robots weren't protected by law, not to mention that the incident occurred on a boat in international waters between the [[United States]] and [[Canada]]. Reluctantly, Fanzone released Masterson. This is why he hates businessmen. {{storylink|The Return of the Headmaster}}

[[Image:Swingset.JPG|left|200px|thumb|Fanzone agreed to help as long as someone gave him a push]]
With the prospect of being recalled to Cybertron, the Autobots had the dilemma of who was going to care for Sari after the mean old businessman put her out on the streets. First on their list of grade-A trustworthy humans was Captain Fanzone. Granted, the list was short and also included Prometheus Black and Nino Sexton. In an effort by the Autobots to get the two humans to bond, Sari discussed with Fanzone the merits of being able to stay up as late as she likes, as well as her need for a very large allowance.

Captain Fanzone breathed a sigh of relief when the Autobots got to stay. Sari said they could still hang out. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}}

The captain was close by when a breakdown in human-robot relations occurred during the Autobots' assistance with a garbage strike. Breaking up the confrontation between a curmudgeonly citizen and the similarly curmudgeonly [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], he advised the veteran Autobot that he needed to work on his people skills. When someone like Fanzone says this, you really ought to worry. {{storylink|Garbage In, Garbage Out}}

While pursuing some of the racers of ''[[Street Demon]]'' show, Fanzone managed to arrest two of them who'd been driven off the road by [[Blurr (Animated)|a blue car]] when the Autobots provided assistance to the drivers. Interrogating one (and serving as both [[Prowl (G1)|good cop]] ''and'' [[Barricade (Movie)|bad cop]]), he learned where the next race would be. As he headed downtown, he was surprised when Bumblebee drove up alongside and opened his door, and Sari Sumdac told him to jump into the car—at which point he noticed [[Blitzwing (Animated)|a fighter jet]] shooting missiles at him. Fanzone jumped into Bumblebee, where Sari revealed that [[Master Disaster]] was controlling the blue car with some sort of remote control. After the aforementioned blue car won a mid-air game of chicken with the jet, Bumblebee removed the two humans, then went to fight the Decepticon. As Master Disaster tried to sneak away, Fanzone placed him under arrest. {{storylink|Velocity}}

{{storylink|SUV: Society of Ultimate Villainy}}

After Meltdown was abducted from jail, Fanzone was called in to investigate. While at the scene, Fanzone encountered Porter C. Powell, who immediately blamed Sari and the Autobots for Meltdown's escape, and was shown a recorded conversation they had with Meltdown as proof. Suspicious, Fanzone asked him how he obtained that recording, which was met with an evasive response from Powell. After Powell pompously demanded that he provide him with police protection, Fanzone ignored him and walked off. Later that night, Fanzone received a call from Powell, informing him that a robbery was commited by the Autobots, though the only thing they took was Meltdown's [[genetic modifier]]. Turns out that the robbery and Meltdown's escape were caused by their [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|"Spider-Lady Friend"]] blackmailing the Dinobots and Optimus Prime into helping her and the Autobots returned the genetic modifier back to Powell, albeit melted and damaged beyond repair. An irate Powell demanded that Fanzone arrest the Autobots for endangering his life, but Fanzone, already fed up with Powell at this point, said he's going to get some sleep and walked away, but not before telling Powell to do the same or he'll arrest him for being a public nuisance. {{storylink|Black Friday (episode)|Black Friday}}

After Optimus Prime defeated [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster]], Fanzone showed up mutely to arrest him. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

(?) {{storylink|Three's a Crowd}}

Fanzone was given a [[Sound Wave]] for Christmas, with the note "A machine even you could love". It proceeded to take over his mind. Meanwhile, in a virtual world, Bumblebee stole virtual-Fanzone's car.

Upon the real [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]]'s defeat, Fanzone was freed. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}}

==Trivia==
* According to [[Marty Isenberg]], Captain Fanzone was named after Detroit native [[wikipedia:Carmen_Fanzone|Carmen Fanzone]], a neighbor of his and a former player for the Chicago Cubs. Due to the relative scarcity of Fanzones in Michigan, the real Fanzone had to sign a waiver before the character could be used. The real Carmen Fanzone also doesn't look or sound anything like the ''Animated'' one.

[[Image:TFA Fanzone open eyes.JPG|right|200px|thumb|Fanzone can open his eyes. Experience has just taught him that he won't like what he sees.]]
* Fanzone's ability to open his eyes seems to vary from episode to episode. In many episodes (seemingly the ones animated by [[The Answer Studio]]) his eyes are permanently closed... which does match the stock [[character model]] seen above, granted, but probably isn't how he's supposed to be 24/7.

* Captain Fanzone is so slow to adopt new technology that he has a [[wikipedia:rotary_dial|rotary dial]] cell phone...and he even has problems with that.

* His car has been crushed several times, yet it continues to show up to be crushed again.

* Fanzone's extended family, including his wife and mother-in-law, have been alluded to on a number of occasions, but have yet to make an actual appearance. Given that it's been implied that the other Fanzones are just as susceptible to "unfortunate incidents" with technology as the captain himself is, that's probably just as well.

* Fanzone is actually the first human [[This Is Why I Hate Machines|ever to set foot on Cybertron]] in the ''Animated'' universe.

Shockwave (Animated)

TransformerChick: Spoiler tag expired

{{factions|decepticon|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Shockwave}}
:''Shockwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:TFA Shockwave.jpg|thumb|right|250px|My awesomeness is logical.]]

'''Shockwave''' is a covert agent in service to [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. This size-changing master of disguise has infiltrated the Autobot security apparatus at the highest level: his cover persona is '''Longarm Prime''', head of [[Cybertron Intelligence]], reporting directly to [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] himself. The undercover Decepticon is the perfect agent to pull this off, as he's able to change his voice, his appearance, and even his energy signature. This puts Shockwave in the perfect position to undermine and mislead the Autobots while feeding strategic information to his true master. To establish his credibility, "Longarm" attended the [[Autobot boot camp]] alongside Bumblebee and Bulkhead. Over the years, he worked his way up the Autobot hierarchy—first through [[Autobot Academy]], then through the ranks of the [[Elite Guard]] until finally he was promoted to be the very head of the Intelligence Division itself!

Befitting a double agent, Shockwave is highly secretive and fearful of detection. Befitting a cartoon villain, he can confidently give those secrets away if he thinks he's winning. If he suspects his cover may be compromised, he's given to acts of desperation.

{{note|Events from IDW Publishing comic books are in italics.}}
:''Voice actor'': [[Corey Burton]] (English), [[Helmut Gauß]] (German)

[[Image:TFA Longarm.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Why am I wearing a scuba mask?]]

[[Image:TFA Shockwave DoubleAgent.jpg|thumb|right|150px|So does that mean he's Shockwave Prime?]]

Shockwave was recruited by Megatron because his mass-shifting abilities allowed him to impersonate effectively a wide variety of shapes and sizes, making it difficult for Autobots to accurately track him during missions of infiltration and sabotage. It was these traits which led to Megatron sending him to enlist in the Autobot armed services as a means of climbing the ranks and eventually taking the organization down from within.

Disguising himself as "Longarm", Shockwave enrolled in [[Autobot boot camp]], but slipped up in the early days of training and was overheard reporting to Megatron by the black sheep recruit [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]. Although Shockwave managed to avoid detection right away, Bumblebee was tipped off to the presence of a traitor in the camp and suspected fellow recruit [[Wasp]], whom he spotted leaving the building shortly afterward. Seeing his fellow recruit [[Wasp]] (probably Shockwave) leaving the building shortly afterwards, Bumblebee was aware there was a traitor in their midst, and suspected Wasp. Bumblebee turned to the espionage-savvy Longarm for advice, and Shockwave used the opportunity to divert attention away from himself by suggesting that the young Autobot refrain from telling their commander, [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Minor]], so that 'Bee could take all the credit when he exposed the traitor himself as a means to ensuring his career in the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]]. Unfortunately, all of Bumblebee's efforts only got him in worse trouble, and his fellow recruits began to bully him, with Longarm being the only one to stick up for him. After several failures on Bumblebee's part, Shockwave took matters into his own hands during a training exercise and switched the training equipment to live ammo in an attempt to offline the Autobot and keep the whole matter of a traitor a secret. Luckily for Bumblebee, this plan was foiled by [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]].

Eventually, Shockwave found out that Sentinel Minor intended to conduct a surprise inspection, and he contrived to set up Wasp to take the fall himself. After planting a Decepticon communicator in Wasp's locker, Shockwave, as Longarm, informed Bumblebee of the upcoming inspection, telling him that it was his last chance to find the evidence he needed. Using one of his extensible limbs to trip up Wasp, Shockwave allowed Bumblebee to palm Wasp's locker key as 'Bee helped him up, allowing him to find the communicator and show it to Sentinel. In the end, Wasp was dragged off to prison, and Longarm commended Bumblebee for his deductive work.

Subsequently, Shockwave graduated boot camp and became a member of the Cybertron Elite Guard. Now "Longarm [[Prime (rank)#Transformers Animated|'''Prime''']]", he became head of [[Cybertron Intelligence]] and remained in this position, hiding in plain sight, for the fifty stellar cycles that Megatron was lost on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}} He may have murdered [[Highbrow (Animated)|Intel director Highbrow]] to get the job. <ref>''[[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club]]''</ref>

''After [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]]'s ship was lost, Longarm pressed Sentinel to continue the search for the ship's crew, the AllSpark and [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. His pleas fell on deaf ears. {{storylink|The Arrival issue 1}}''

After Megatron succeeded in restoring himself and the Decepticons were assembled on Earth, he re-established contact with Shockwave on Cybertron and initiated a plan to construct a [[space bridge]] that would allow the Decepticons to conquer the planet from within. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}} Wasp, now criminally insane, escaped from prison, and Megatron started receiving transmissions from his double agent on Cybertron. When Megatron's captive, [[Isaac Sumdac]], attempted to alert the Autobots to the existence of the double agent by bouncing a transmission to their base, Bumblebee again suspected Wasp. He reported the news to Longarm Prime on Cybertron, but of course, that accomplished nothing. {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}

[[Image:Anim shockwave pinchy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Pinchy pinchy!]]

When the completed space bridge failed to function, Megatron contacted Shockwave and instructed him to locate the top space bridge specialist on Cybertron to help correct the problem. Shockwave was surprised to discover that the specialist was already on Earth; it was Bulkhead! Bulkhead was subsequently captured by Megatron and forced to perfect the space bridge. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}} The other Autobots arrived too late to stop him, and they were defeated by the Decepticons and strung up to watch as the bridge was activated. Shockwave revealed his alter ego of Longarm Prime to the Autobots, disclosing that he had already given Megatron an appropriate access code and forcing Bumblebee to feel the shame of sending an innocent Wasp to prison. When Megatron tried to test the space bridge by sending Optimus Prime through it, Shockwave assured his master that he awaited the "test subject" on the other side. Unfortunately, an attempt by Megatron to boost power caused the space bridge to overload, deleting the access code and setting the space bridge to random coordinates. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

Megacycles later, Shockwave, as Longarm once more, assured Ultra Magnus that the Decepticons would not be able to reach the Cybertron Space Bridge nexus. Shockwave then contacted [[Team Chaar]], who had successfully taken over a space bridge and were ready to use it in order to gate to Cybertron. [[Strika (Animated)|Strika]] asked for permission to begin the assault, only to have Shockwave deny her request. She was to stay put with her team and wait for Megatron to arrive, even if he was megacycles overdue.

[[Image:TransWarpedBlurrLongarm.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"Whoops—there's a bug on your head, Blurr. Holllld stilll..."]]

Not long afterward, the entire Space Bridge Nexus powered down. Confused, Longarm questioned Cybertron Command, and [[Cliffjumper (Animated)|Cliffjumper]] informed him that Ultra Magnus had ordered the shutdown in order to prevent the Decepticons from accessing Cybertron. Just then, Agent [[Blurr (Animated)|Blurr]] arrived and (very) quickly informed Longarm that while on Earth, he had intercepted a transmission between Megatron and and his double agent on Cybertron, Shockwave. Further, Blurr noted that Shockwave's voice didn't match that of the suspected Wasp, but quick search of the Cybertron Intel Database would allow them to find the true identity of the traitor. Shocked, Longarm asked if Blurr had shared this information with anyone else. When Blurr replied that he had not, Shockwave decided it would be wise to quiet him down—permanently. Blurr eluded his initial attempts and escaped into the corridors around the nexus control center. Rather than give chase, Shockwave simply had the corridors' security hatches slam shut and close in on Blurr, trapping and crushing him to death.

At the Elite Guard Headquarters, Longarm handed over a small cube of "sensitive materials" to Cliffjumper to dispose, then went to his office, where he received an incoming transmission from Lord Megatron himself. They traded information on their respective setbacks, but Megatron assured Shockwave that he had [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|a method]] of preventing the Earth Autobots from blowing Shockwave's cover.

Shortly, Longarm Prime attended an Elite Guard meeting, where Ultra Magnus declared that the Decepticons' attacks were too organized to be random acts of sabotage. Rather, evidence pointed to a double agent in the Autobots' midst. Longarm nervously pointed out that the Decepticon uprisings had started after Wasp's escape, making the cause plain. Ultra Magnus agreed and ordered [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]] and Sentinel Prime to organize an Elite Guard Unit to find the escapee. He then requested that the Earth-bound Autobots be contacted. Increasingly distraught, Longarm declared that all communications should be first filtered through him, without exceptions—for the sake of security and the protection of Cybertron, naturally. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

Unfortunately, Longarm's insistence on diverting blame toward Wasp was his undoing. When Wasp headed to Earth, Ultra Magnus didn't inform him about Wasp's destination until the Elite Guard's ship was in sight of the planet. Knowing he was on the verge of being exposed, Shockwave tried to contact Megatron, but still received no response. With no other orders on how to proceed, Shockwave took matters into his own hands: In an effort to inflict one last blow to the Autobots, Shockwave attacked and seriously damaged Ultra Magnus, stealing his Magnus hammer in the process. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

When the Autobots became trapped in [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave's]] virtual reality, Shockwave appeared to invade and attack Earth. However, he didn't seem to do much besides set an apartment on fire. {{storylink|Human Error, Part I}}

[[Image:TFAni ThisisWhyIHateMachines Shockwave TrueColors.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Wish you bought that repaint now, don't you?]]
After escaping, Shockwave hid in an underground tunnel, concealed from detection, waiting for Megatron to call. The Decepticon leader, trapped inside of [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] along with [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] and [[Lugnut]], contacted Shockwave, who revealed a way to gain the access codes for Omega Supreme. However, Shockwave was soon discovered by [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] and [[Captain Fanzone]]. He easily defeated them and went to find the female intelligence agent [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]]. To do this, he "asked" an informat-bot named [[Rattletrap]] for the directions. However, he apparently got lost, and so merely hid and waited for Fanzone and Ratchet to find her. He battled Ratchet and severely wounded the elderly Autobot. During the battle, he then found Ultra Magnus, still wounded. He was about to kill him for good when Ratchet used his EMP generator on both Shockwave ''and'' Ultra Magnus's hammer. Ratchet was then distracted by the arrival of temporary Magnus Sentinel Prime. After getting back online, Shockwave took Arcee and escaped to Omega Supreme, using the access codes to transwarp to Earth's orbit. He then celebrated his freedom to serve Megatron openly by [[electronic paint job|changing]] into more...[[Shockwave (G1)|suitable colors]]. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

* '''Shockwave''' (Voyager, 2008)
:Representing his double nature in the cartoon, ''Animated'' Shockwave becomes both the Autobot Longarm and Decepticon Shockwave, featuring four distinct modes. In "Infiltration Mode," the shorter, stockier Autobot Longarm transforms into a four-legged crane platform. If one fancies, one can stretch out his Shockwave-mode elbows to emulate his limb-stretching ability in Longarm mode (abeit not very well). In "Spy Mode," he stretches and converts into the taller, lankier Decepticon Shockwave, as the crane portion of Longarm's body converts into a hand-held cannon. The center panel on his chest flips between Autobot and Decepticon symbols. Both chest symbols are vacuum metalized, with very shiny silver and gold. Curiously, while the rotating faction symbols on his chest use the usual "classic" designs, the tampographed Decepticon symbol on his cannon/crane is in the movie style, and is visible in his Autobot modes.

:All the differences between Shockwave and Longarm can be difficult to remember. In the "tank mode" picture at right, the secondary guns are incorrectly folded back. On the back of this toy's box, there are several small transformation errors, the most obvious being that only ''one'' of Shockwave's shoulders has been correctly rotated up. Also, the toy [[instructions]] do not show Shockwave's neck as correctly extended (his chin is touching his chestplate in the instructions, just as for Longarm). They also fail to mention that you can push his upper torso forward as Shockwave to better replicate the slouch that he has in the cartoon.

In tank mode, the secondary guns are not deployed, the red panels which are on the robot mode's shoulders have not been flipped to show the tank's treads, and the middle panel on the side of the tank is oriented wrong (the circle should be down, not back). In addition, his head is not fully retracted. Someone at Hasbro is dozing.

==Notes==
* Actor Corey Burton reprises the role of Shockwave from Generation 1, reusing precisely the same British-accented, [[Wikipedia:Sark (Tron)|David-Warner-inspired]] voice for the character (while employing an American accented variation for Longarm). In a [http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=41857&p=742393#p742393 recent interview], Burton revealed that Shockwave's inclusion in Season 2 arose from a between-scenes conversation he had with the production team, regarding how little the original Shockwave actually had to do.

[[Image:Shockwave_goodside.jpg|thumb|right|180px|I hear this is my good side...]]

* While Shockwave possesses the single, round optic and window-chest of his Generation 1 counterpart, much of the rest of his body appears to be largely patterned after ''[[Armada]]'' [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]; he transforms into an "H-tank", the front treads end up on his shoulders, plus he has the large, spiky "antlers" on his head. Additionally, Shockwave's vehicle mode appears to be loosely based on one of the [[Transtech]] sketch designs for Megatron, with the high angled treads and turret.

* Shockwave's on-package bio states that, as Longarm, he rose through the ranks of the [[Elite Guard]] to reach his current position. [[Derrick Wyatt]] has informed this wiki that Longarm is not a member of that group in the cartoon. Shockwave's status as a nonmember of the Elite Guard is supported by Longarm's lack of the Elite Guard's winged Autobot symbol in the cartoon.

* Despite not having a face, Shockwave still manages to have a [[chin]].

Talk:Units of time

2009-04-16T04:48:54Z

TransformerChick: /* Animated? */ new section

Given the many DIVISIONS of Cycle, and the disagreement of terminology (Megacucle is used as everythign from hour to years) I suggest makign this the page for the various verions of cycle. Decacycle, megacycle, Gigacycle, etc.

And fore refernece, TF's first use of Cycles was Target 2006, whcich established that 1 cycle was EXACTLY 2 Earh Hours. -Derik19:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

: Shouldn't [[orn]]s be added to this chart as well? I don't want to muck with that coding but otherwise I'd add it in. --[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 10:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

That chart makes things out to be too clear cut. For example, I'm sure Megacycle had other uses in Beast Wars that don't correspond to years. And here to muddy up the waters even more is Furman's explanation of time units in the IDW-verse, from [http://idwpublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=150 this thread] on the IDW boards:

*A nano-klik is approximately one Earth second
*A klik is about 1.2 Earth minutes
*A cycle is about 1 hour 15 mins
*A mega-cycle is about 93 hours
*A deca-cycle is approx 3 weeks
*A stellar-cycle is 7.5 months (there or thereabouts)
*A Meta-cycle is about 13 months

So, uh, yeah. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 11:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Stellar cycle sounds more like a year to me, given it sounds like the 'cycle' or orbit of Cybertron around its sun. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 12:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

*Yes, and...?
*Nothing prohibits Cybertron from going through one complete orbit of its' sun every 7.5 months. Nor from having a "day" 93 hours long [Venus has a 225-EarthDay "year" (7.4 months...) - and a 243-EarthDay DAY]. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 15:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Found the definition of Quartex, as Wheeljack brought up in the first G1 episode. 'Quartex' means a three-month period commencing on January I, April 1, July 1 or October 1 in a calendar year.

:Uh, I believe that is the definition of a quarter, with an R, and it's an Earthen definition anyway, not a Cybertronic one. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 00:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

::I'm not sure how I feel about it... Jyuu, were you voting simply for a layout that uses tables, or for sorting them by continuity? I have two problems with Rosi's edit: First, I think that particlar table style isn't attractive for this purpose... I'd rather something all white with lines in between cells. But, my bigger problem is that the table layout doesn't jive well with the wildly-varying lengths of the unit descriptions. Some of the rows are ten times taller than others, and that isn't pretty. FWIW, I thought the definition list format it had before looked nice, but then again, I'm the one that started it that way in the first place. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 22:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

::::Though comparing the two the current table allows you to see many more of the units at a time. At several different resolutions.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]] 22:50, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::Tables and by continuity both. I'm not terribly picky about which kind of tables though - Rosi's are just as nice as the samples here on the talk page. It's just my thought that anyone who is probably looking for what units of time mean might want to know what they are within a specific continuity (as I did when wondering about IDW time units), rather than sifting through the whole list for whatever might apply. --[[User:Jyuu|Jyuu]] 09:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::One of the reasons I do ''not'' want the list sorted by continuity is that it would hide the conflicting definitions a few terms have. Somebody might see the BW version of cycle -- even be looking specifically for it -- and leave not realizing there are two other definitions for the same unit that might be more relevant to whatever they're doing. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 19:23, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I wonder if the units that have multiple definitions could just be differently marked (italicized, footnoted, something to that effect)?

::::::::I suppose a "see also" note on each of the repeat units would work alright... But I still feel like it's unnatural to have several seperate alphabetically-sorted lists instead of just one list. Maybe instead we could make a compressed, secondary table listing them by continuity but omitting the definitions. Something like this:

Optimus Prime's visual flashback showing Megatron on Cybertron in the movie. With the constant furnace like lava flows(?) and apparently transforming landscape, is this a representation of Cybertron (or a part of it) in the movie continuity, or just Op being a big metaphor lover.

==Locations list==
The top of the article is not an appropriate place to put a list of random locations that happen to have articles. Further, [[Mass Transit System]] isn't a "location". For the time being I've simply moved the list to the bottom of the page, but it is still not an appropriate way of presenting the list. We already have [[:Category:Planet Cybertron]], so honestly I don't see the need to list these places at all unless they are going to come up naturally in the course of the article. (In a similar vein, the mention of the demons seems really out of place, as if it was put there simply for the sake of linking to that article, rather than linking to the article in the course of mentioning it.) --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 03:30, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

If セイバートロン isn't [[Romanization|romanized]] as 'Seibertron,' fine, but shouldn't the footnote at least include that even though "セイバートロン" and "サイバートロン" are both frequently romanized as 'Cybertron'{{m-}} and thus 'Seibertron' isn't correct per-se... the '''are''' two are still spelled differently in Japan? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 00:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
::I debated about how to handle that, because, strictly speaking, this is not a spelling issue but a ''pronunciation'' issue.

::::Well, that is the other issue at hand: we have that "セイバートロン" is written "Cybertron" in English from three different sources (Headmasters game, laserdisc, Galaxy Force packaging), so I don't think we can ignore that. I will say, though, that the issue of Japan writing things in English one way and having people pronounce them another way is not unique to this situation... it crops up in Capcom's Mega Man/Rockman enemies, for example. Despite his name being "Bomb Man" in written English, the katakana for the character's name reads "Bomber Man" (ボンバーマン); the same situation exists for "Centuar Man", whose name in katakana actually reads "Kentauros Man" (ケンタウロスマン). It's not an issue of not ''being able'' to derive "seibaatoron" from "Cybertron", as I see it. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 01:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

*You mean the comic which one I have all of them but the 6th. --[[User:TransformerChick|TransformerChick]] 18:27, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

HI!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I joined this site because I LOVE TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED. Here is the story of how I began to like it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
''"When it first aired I thought it was stupid. But on a Saturday I watch the end of Lost and Found when I was waiting for another show to come on and I liked the end. So then on Sunday I watched the whole episode and really liked Transformers. After that I checked the cartoon network schedule and saw it was on at 6am every weekday. So for the next few days I woke up early and watched it. But when I looked it up online it talked about episodes I'd never seen so I went on youtube and watched EVERY single episode of season 1 and 2. And then I loved it. So every morning from that point I woke up at 5am and watched it at 6am. I also watch it online alot. Ive must have seen each episode of season 1 and 2 at least 20 times tops. Ive seen each season 3 episode 5 times maybe more. I watch it every time it comes on."
