[[File:ArmDemolishorDWCalendar.jpg|upright=2.3|thumb|They were delicious.]]
'''Demolishor''' is not the brightest soldier in [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]'s ranks, but he is one of the most reliable. He holds very true-to-[[spark]] values concerning loyalty and devotion to the Decepticon cause; to him, a leader is to be obeyed without hesitation, and he will give his all on any battefield he may be ordered onto. His values, however, sometimes collide with Megatron's ultimately selfish goals, and though Demolishor does not necessarily ''resent'' his leader for sometimes acting contrary to what he sees as the principles of his faction, he does occasionally find himself struggling to reconcile the two. Ultimately, Demolishor may find that devotion to the Decepticon way of life is not the same thing as devotion to Megatron.

His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], although sometimes he likes the added boost of firepower that [[Bonecrusher (Armada)|Bonecrusher]] gives him.

[[File:Metamorphosis demolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?"]]
Alerted by a signal beacon to the reactivation of the long-lost [[Mini-Con]]s on [[Earth]], Demolishor joined [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] in warping to the planet. While his leader was busy battling [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], who had followed them there, Demolishor and Starscream took an interest in the nearby [[human]] children who had had been responsible for activating the beacon, but were prevented from grabbing them by the appearance of Autobot [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] and [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]. The Decepticons withdrew to their base of operations within the wreck of the [[Exodus (Armada)|Mini-Con spaceship]] on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to regroup, where Demolishor soon picked up the signals of two more Mini-Cons the children had activated. Returning to Earth, now outfitted with a missile-tank [[alternate mode]], Demolishor joined the Decepticons in attempting to capture the children and the Mini-Cons, but found themselves obstructed by the Autobots once again. Demolishor went up against Optimus Prime himself, physically trying to restrain the Autobot leader while in his truck mode, but got blasted and run over for his efforts. {{storylink|Metamorphosis (Armada)|Metamorphosis}} During the battle that followed, another two Mini-Cons were uncovered and retrieved by [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], one of which he kept for himself, and the other which he presented to Megatron. After retreating back to the moon, Demolishor and Starscream duelled to prove themselves worthy of being given the Mini-Con; their contest was something of a draw, but Megatron gave the Mini-Con, [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], to Demolishor. {{storylink|Base}}

[[File:Base demolishor vehiclemode.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Rolling, rolling, rolling. Keep them wagons rolling.]]

Demolishor took part in the search for a new Mini-Con in the [[Grand Canyon]], during which he menaced Red Alert and [[Carlos Lopez]], {{storylink|Comrade}} and later squared off against Red Alert and Hot Shot alongside the other Decepticons in the Arctic, only to retreat when Optimus Prime joined the fight. {{storylink|Soldier (episode)|Soldier}} While on a mission in a heavy forest, Demolishor used Blackout to track the location of a hidden Mini-Con, and spent most of the time teasing Starscream over his lack of a Mini-Con. {{storylink|Jungle}} The tables were soon turned, though, when the Decepticons experienced some downtime, and everyone began mocking Demolishor for how clumsy and useless he was outside of a combat situation. About to slug Starscream for the insults, Demolishor only wound up proving everyone right when he tripped over [[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] and fell through the base wall. {{storylink|Carnival}}

[[File:Palace demolishor and bonecrusher.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|You know, you don't talk very much...I like you!]]

Demolishor stood guard while the other Decepticons searched the endless wastes of the [[Sahara|Sahara desert]] for a new Mini-Con signal, and nearly blasted Cyclonus when he mistook him for an enemy combatant. Actual enemies were soon to arrive in the form of the Autobots, but in the shoot-out that ensued, a subsidence caused Demolishor and the Autobots' human allies to disappear beneath the shifting sands. They all wound up in a ruined subterranean palace full of anachronistically high-tech defences that they discovered had been created through the power of the [[Mini-Con storage panel]] the temple was built around. Demolishor pursued the kids through the ruins, fighting off robotic spider-sentries, and managed to claim the Mini-Con for his own. Escaping even as the ruins collapsed around him, Demolishor activated the Mini-Con, [[Bonecrusher (Armada)|Bonecrusher]], and used its power to send the Autobots packing. Unfortunately, Megatron forced him to give Bonecrusher up because he had "disobeyed" orders by abandoning his guard post. {{storylink|Palace}}

[[File:Swoop demolishor strung up.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|"He had a baseball bat and I was tied to a ceiling. Ticking him off was the smart thing to do."]]

Demolishor was not optimistic when the Decepticons captured the Autobots' human friends [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]], and he was right, as hostage negotiations went wrong thanks to an act of rebellion by Leader-1. {{storylink|Confrontation (episode)|Confrontation}} A Mini-Con search in the catacombs beneath a human city fared a little better; though he needed to send Blackout to search the narrower spots, Demolishor was able to join in beating up new Autobot [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] before the Decepticons secured the Mini-Con and withdrew. {{storylink|Underground (episode)|Underground}} Soon after, during a mission to a sunken underwater city, Demolishor kept the Autobots busy while Megatron searched the ruins and successfully located another Mini-Con. {{storylink|Ruin}} Following a failed attempt to secure another Mini-Con from a volcanic island, Demolishor watched as Megatron forcibly awoke the Mini-Con from the underwater ruins, which turned out to be one of a [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|trio]] who could together form the legendary [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] sword. {{storylink|Prehistory}} In a failed attempt to obtain the other two sword components, presently in Autobot custody, the Decepticons staged a raid on the Autobots' base, during which Demolishor was ambushed and strung up by Smokescreen. {{storylink|Swoop (episode)|Swoop}}

[[File:Gale demolishor and blackout.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Are you saying you have something against a 'man' and a minicon being together?"]]

Demolishor's alternate mode did not prove conducive to mountain-climbing when a new Mini-Con signal was detected on a high peak. Hot Shot proceeded to slice Demolishor's shoulder cannons off with the Star Saber, which made him reluctant enough to plead with Megatron not to attack the Autobots' base in hopes of retrieving the sword. He was prepared to take Hot Shot on again soon after, but was probably grateful when Starscream stepped in to challenge the young Autobot to a one-on-one duel instead. {{storylink|Overmatch}} Later, Demolishor stood guard when the Decepticons began tunnelling beneath a human highway for a Minicon, ordering Cyclonus into action when Blackout detecting the approaching Autobots. While the other Decepticons were busy in battle, Demolishor got stuck with digging duties, but failed to unearth the Mini-Con before the Autobots surrounded them and forced a retreat. {{storylink|Gale}} The chance for a rematch with Hot Shot soon came in a fight that carried from Earth back to the Decepticons' moonbase, which ended when the enigmatic [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] helped the Decepticons reclaim the Star Saber. With Hot Shot disarmed, Demolishor and Cyclonus gave him a brutal stomping and dumped his body back on Earth. {{storylink|Credulous}}

[[File:Conspiracy demolishor weapons mode.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|right|After transforming Demolishor a few times in the office, Hasbro wanted to repaint him gray and black and name him Metal Gear Demolishor in hopes of selling him better.]]

The Star Saber ended up in Starscream's hands, and he swaggered around the base with it, mocking Demolishor and trying to taunt him into fights he couldn't win. Knowing that simply taking the sword would cause dissension in the ranks, Megatron used Leader-1 to trick Starscream into accidentally attacking Demolishor with the blade. Demolishor and the others were given cause to question Starscream's competency with the sword, forcing him to hand it over to Megatron. {{storylink|Conspiracy}}

When Starscream voiced his concerns that Scavenger might have went and joined the Autobots after deserting the Decepticons, Cyclonus and Demolishor pointed out that there was no evidence that the mercenary had actually switched sides. Seeing him among the Autobot ranks changed Demolishor's mind. The turncoat's tactics allowed the Autobots to thoroughly outsmart the Decepticons on the battlefield, giving them their first defeat in a long time. {{storylink|Trust (Armada)|Trust}} Demolishor then got chased around the moon by Megatron wielding the Star Saber in a supposed "training exercise". {{storylink|Vacation}} Things seemed to be going Demolishor's way when he successfully dug up the next Mini-Con, but it was then blasted out of his hands by new Autobot arrival [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]] just as he warped out. A slash to his arm from the Star Saber was his punishment, which made him redouble his efforts on the next Mini-Con hunt. The Mini-Con recovered was the final member of the [[Race Mini-Con Team|Race Team]], and Demolishor watched alongside the other Decepticons as the tiny 'bots formed the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom shield]] for the first time. {{storylink|Reinforcement}} When Megatron engineered a decisive battle between himself and the Autobots, bringing both Star Saber and Skyboom to bear, Demolishor helped out by raining fire down on the Autobots and engaging in a back-and-forth bout of boulder slinging with Smokescreen. {{storylink|Decisive Battle}}

[[File:Rebellion demolishor headshot.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|He thought of a good reason to follow Mr. Popo's pecking order.]]

When Megatron concocted a plan to divide and conquer the Autobots using the Decepticons' warp system, Demolishor was charged with coordinating the operation of the warp gates from the moon base. {{storylink|Vow}} This plan failed, as did their next offensive, and Megatron decided to take out his frustrations on Starscream. Fearing that Megatron would ''kill'' the younger 'bot, Demolishor actually blasted through the door his leader had locked in order to stop him. Observing the Decepticons' morale faltering all around him, Demolishor tried to reinvigorate his comrades, but was blind to the fact that they were all being manipulated by Sideways, who was seeking to shake up their ranks. When Sideways goaded Starscream into trying to destroy the warp gate, Demolishor stopped him, but Starscream merely redirected his anger and challenged Megatron to a duel instead. Demolishor woke the sleeping Cyclonus, and the pair watched as their two comrades duked it out, with Megatron's inevitable victory providing the renewal of morale and vigor the 'Cons required. {{storylink|Rebellion (Armada)|Rebellion}}

[[File:Desperate demolishor and minicons.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|World of Tanks: Transformers Edition]]

The arrival of boastful Decepticon tactician [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] was a source of great frustration to Demolishor, who found his position as Megatron's closest confidant usurped by the newcomer. Already publicly embarrassed by Thrust when he used his invisibility powers to trip him up, Demolishor groused his way through Thrust's first mission plan, {{storylink|Tactician}} and spent a lot of energy loudly blaming Thrust when it failed. It didn't break Megatron's trust in his new minion, however, and Thrust soon had another plan put together, but that one went awry when Optimus Prime and [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] revealed their power to combine. Demolishor was grabbed by the powered-up Autobot leader and dumped in the ocean. {{storylink|Linkup}} Demolishor's hatred of Thrust was soon exploited by Sideways, who tricked him into trying to destroy Thrust in another attempt to manipulate the Decepticons to his own ends. But both Sideways and Demolishor had been duped themselves: Thrust knew Sideways was working against them in service of a mysterious master, and allowed the scenario to play out, then all the Decepticons, including a confused and angry Demolishor, turned on Sideways and expelled him from their ranks. {{storylink|Detection}}

[[File:Sacrifice demolishor binoculars.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Swiggity swooty, I'm coming in for that booty."]]

During a later battle on a beach, Demolishor was nearly squashed when the giant Decepticon battleship [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] arrived on the scene. {{storylink|Awakening (Armada)|Awakening}} While Megatron merged with Tidal Wave to battle Optimus Prime and Jetfire, Demolishor led the Decepticons' Mini-Cons in a charge to keep the other Autobots busy. {{storylink|Desperate}} Some uneventful downtime followed, during which Demolishor just stood around and watched as Megatron got repaired and Thrust went off a Mini-Con search of his own (to be fair, Demolishor had wanted to go too... Thrust simply didn't bother telling him he was leaving). {{storylink|Runaway}}

Demolishor was on hand when [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]] was welcomed into Megatron's forces. {{storylink|Past II}} Following this, the Decepticons had Starscream and the Star Saber lure the Autobots out of their base, with Demolishor watching them through binoculars to check that they had brought the third Mini-Con weapon, the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]] with them. Once the Decepticons learned the Autobots had purposely left it at the base, Demolishor took part in an attack on the undermanned Autobot headquarters to steal the Blaster. {{storylink|Sacrifice}} Unfortunately, they didn't tell Starscream they would be doing this, and he was furious at being abandoned on the battlefield; when Demolishor tried to take the Star Saber from him for Megatron, they nearly came to blows until Demolishor backed down. The enraged Starscream proceeded to defect to the Autobots, and provided them with access codes that allowed them to invade the Decepticons' moonbase. {{storylink|Regeneration (Armada)|Regeneration}} Demolishor watched gape-mouthed as the Autobots materialized through the Decepticons' warp gate, but managed to compose himself long enough to sound the alarm. [[File:Rescue demolishor blinded by laserbeak.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|A new low.]] In the resulting battle, Demolishor chased down [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]], but was prevented from destroying the Mini-Con combiner when a precision strike by [[Laserbeak (Armada)|Laserbeak]] blinded him long enough for Hot Shot to take him out. {{storylink|Rescue}}

The Autobots successfully freed all the Decepticons' captive Mini-Cons, so Demolishor and the others were stuck filling in for the tiny 'bots, picking up where they'd left off on the construction of a spaceship, and cutting into the time the Decepticons would have otherwise spent gossiping and watching Megatron vent his anger by destroying the lunar landscape. {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}} He was part of the Decepticons' next battle, which was actually a carefully constructed scheme by Thrust to bring Starscream, the Star Saber and the Skyboom back to the Decepticon fold. {{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}} Once Starscream was back in their ranks, however, Demolishor observed him dragging Thrust off for a private "chat"; he tried to tattle on him to Megatron, but the Decepticon leader wasn't interested. The three Mini-Cons weapons were subsequently used to power the Decepticons' completed spaceship, and Demolishor was charged with piloting the vessel, struggling but eventually succeeding in mastering the proper flow of power from the weapons to achieve successful liftoff. {{storylink|Threaten}} When Optimus Prime and Jetfire arrived to stop the ship from using its [[Hydra Cannon]] against Earth, Demolishor, Cyclonus and Wheeljack dealt with Jetfire, pinning him down and leaving him unable to stop Optimus from sacrificing himself to stop the cannon's blast. {{storylink|Crisis (Armada)|Crisis}}

[[File:Drift powerlinxdemolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"My god...it's full of Mini-Cons..."]]

With Optimus destroyed, Demolishor and the other Decepticons set course back to Cybertron, {{storylink|Remorse}} but soon found themselves pursued by the Autobots in a [[Axalon (Armada)|ship]] of their own. {{storylink|Depart}} Demolishor tracked the Autobots' approach, and participated in the space battle that followed, grappling with [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]]. The combat reached a surprising climax when Optimus Prime was returned to life by the Mini-Cons, {{storylink|Miracle}} but no sooner had it ended than a worm hole suddenly appeared that sucked several of the Autobots away. Tracking the lost Autobots to a sterile alien world, Demolishor ventured down to the planet's surface with Megatron and Starscream, where they all wound up embroiled in a fierce battle with [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], a dark clone of Optimus. Gravely wounded by the evil creature, Demolishor, Megatron, Starscream, Hot Shot, and Red Alert were saved by their Mini-Cons, who combined their energy to give their partners a power boost, [[Powerlinx|fusing their armor into new colors]] in the process. {{storylink|Puppet}}

[[File:Alliance powerlinxdemolishor vehiclemode.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Rolling, rolling, rawhide!]]

Returning to Cybertron ahead of the Autobots, Demolishor and the Decepticons quickly subjugated the planet using the power of the Mini-Con weapons. When the Autobots arrived, they brought warning of the coming of a mysterious cosmic enemy known as [[Unicron]]; Demolishor was concerned by their story, but Megatron (now "Galvatron" after his Mini-Con power-up) refused to believe it. {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}} Soon after, when Hot Shot burst into the Decepticon base in an attempt to make Galvatron see reason, Demolishor and Cyclonus tried to stop him, but Wheeljack, being an old friend of the Autobot's, let him pass. During Hot Shot's explanation, Thrust was revealed to be an agent of Unicron himself, and absconded into Cybertron's depths with the Skyboom and Requiem Blaster; {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}} Demolishor gave chase, but when he reported back that he had lost Thrust's trail, he was ordered at Star Saber-point by an angry Galvatron to continue searching. {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}} The search for Thrust was a failure, however, Demolishor resumed his military duties, monitoring Autobot troop movements. {{storylink|Portent}}

Despite the revelation that Unicron was very real, having been hiding in plain sight as Cybertron's moon, Galvatron still refused to acknowledge his threat, and preferring to press on against the Autobots. Demolishor was busy in battle and did not witness Starscream sacrificing himself to prove Unicron's power to Galvatron. {{storylink|Cramp}} [[File:Alliance powerlinxdemolishor and blackout.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]] Demolishor was unmoved by his death, but supported Galvatron in his decision to at last ally the Decepticons with the Autobots against Unicron. Demolishor attended the formal alliance ceremony, hesitantly shaking hands with Hot Shot. He and Cyclonus subsequently joined Hot Shot and [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] on a reconnaissance mission to Unicron's surface, where Demolishor became separated from Blackout when Unicron began transforming. Believing his Mini-Con lost, Demolishor returned to the landing site in preparation for withdrawal, but an attack by a swarm of [[Dead End Drone]]s stymied them. Demolishor was taken aback when the two Autobots willingly covered him so he could help Cyclonus out of a chasm, and was given pause to reconsider his feelings towards them when Hot Shot presented him with Blackout, whom he had safely recovered for him. {{storylink|Alliance}} Analyzing the data that Blackout had gathered on Unicron's surface, Demolishor located a weak spot on the planet-sized monster's neck. While their troops attacked this sensitive area, Optimus Prime and Galvatron were able to insert themselves inside Unicron's body. {{storylink|Union}} Gathering on the bridge of the Autobots' ''Axalon'' with the others, Demolishor watched and waited; when Unicron became non-functional, he voted against attacking in fear that they would hurt Galvatron, still within. Soon, he observed as Galvatron and Prime emerged from the giant, engaged in brutal one-to-one combat, and Galvatron sacrificed himself to end the cycle of hatred that was fuelling Unicron. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

====''Cloud''====
Early during the Decepticons' time on Earth, just before they regained the Star Saber from Hot Shot, Starscream encountered a small group of Autobots and Decepticons who had travelled to their world from the other-dimensional [[Cloud World]]. This caused him to miss a scheduled check-in with the Decepticon base, and Demolishor and Cyclonus were dispatched to see what had happened. They arrived after the otherwordly travellers had left, and could only inform Starscream that Megatron was mad at him. {{storylink|Return}}

[[File:MegatronsSword demolishor.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|"Constructicon colors!" "...this is going to end badly for me, isn't it?"]]

Following Megatron and Unicron's apparent destruction at the climax of the [[Unicron Battles]], the alliance between the Decepticons and Autobots continued. Together, over the next ten years, they rebuilt Cybertron, and allied with humankind to establish the [[Cybertron City (city)|Cybertron Cities]] to mine [[energon]] on Earth. Demolishor was assigned to [[Ocean City]], where he guarded the city's main gate. Though he was as prone to grumbling as ever, and still put a lot of significance on the fact that he remained a Decepticon despite the alliance, Demolishor developed something of a friendship with his new allies and grew into his role.

[[File:MegatronsSword demolishor and cyclonus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Dumb and Dumber]]

Demolishor probably figured it was going to be another regular duty shift the day rebellious human [[Kicker Jones]] raised Ocean City from its usual resting place beneath the sea. Trying to stop the young punk from leaving the city without authorization, Demolishor was outmaneuvered, and didn't take kindly to Hot Shot making fun of him for it. As such, when Kicker tried to leave a second time, Demolishor was extra-dedicated to stopping him... but still failed to prevent him getting past. Kicker's second trip outside, however, had been brought on by the impending arrival of an Energon-stealing [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] horde, which Demolishor then helped fend off. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}} Reports soon came in of a Terrorcon attack on [[Asteroid City]] out in space, and [[Lunar City]] on the moon, where Demolishor's old comrades Tidal Wave and Cyclonus were stationed, respectively. When they disappeared in the attacks, Demolishor angrily claimed the Autobots would have worked harder to search for them if they had been Autobots. {{storylink|Energon Stars}} Tidal Wave soon reappeared, but had fallen in with the Terrorcon forces, claiming that their master [[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]] was planning to revive Megatron for them—an allegation that shocked Demolishor and forced him to think hard on his loyalties. {{storylink|Scorpinok (episode)|Scorpinok}}

[[File:Demolishor MegSword.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|And so Demolishor became the king of England.]]

When Cyclonus returned to Earth soon after, Demolishor was overjoyed to see that his friend had survived, and the pair immediately indulged in some friendly sparring, ''while Demolishor shared the news of Megatron's potential rebirth''. Full of vigor, the duo were keen to help defend [[Plains City]] when the Terrorcon horde attacked it, but things took a turn when the Terrorcon leader [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] revealed a sword that Alpha Q had forged from Megatron's own [[spark]]. Sensing his old leader's lifeforce in the blade, Cyclonus immediately turned on the Autobots to join the Terrorcon crusade, but Demolishor was much more conflicted; when the blade was sent flying during the fighting and landed in front of him, his fear and uncertainty caused him to hesitate before picking it up, and Tidal Wave snatched it away. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}

[[File:NewCybertronCity ironhide and demolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Demolishor was part of the unit sent to the Arctic to help establish [[Blizzard City]], but was too distracted by what he had experienced to do much work. This led to him arguing with the Autobot [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]], who didn't trust him because he was a Decepticon, and who he in turn teased over being a rookie, but when Kicker got lost in a blizzard, the two had to join forces to search for him. Working with Ironhide to fend off a Terrorcon attack, Demolishor rejected the chance to join Cyclonus and Tidal Wave, still unconvinced that Megatron was ''really'' alive. {{storylink|The New Cybertron City}} But the truth was soon to reveal itself, when Megatron, reborn from within Unicron by the power of energon, launched a massive attack on Ocean City. After only a moment to process this revelation, Demolishor submitted himself to Megatron's leadership once more, but his time in the Autobots meant the transition was not easy: he knocked Ironhide out himself rather than let him risk his life against Megatron, and hesitated to open the door to the city when Megatron commanded it. To force him to pick one absolute loyalty, Megatron dared Demolishor to fire his weapons at him, but he could not, and reluctantly blew the door to the city open. After Megatron's forces raided the city's energon stores, Ironhide pleaded with Demolishor not to leave with them, but he departed in silence with his fellow Decepticons. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}}

[[File:EnergonTower demolishor gunfingers.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Not wholly convinced of Demolishor's loyalty, Megatron left him to stand guard over the Decepticons' base—the dormant body of Unicron itself, stolen from Alpha Q—while the villains departed on their next mission. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}} When the Decepticons tried searching the remains of Asteroid City for more energon, Demolishor was unable to find any; Megatron started bludgeoning him for his failure until he suggested they check out Lunar City. He joined Megatron and Cyclonus in raiding the moonbase, then confronted the Autobots in a brief battle in the [[asteroid belt]]. {{storylink|Battle of the Asteroid Belt}} Demolishor was slightly taken aback to learn that Ocean City would be their next attack target, but he participated in the assault nonetheless, reluctantly squaring off against an angry, vengeful Ironhide. {{storylink|Energon Tower (episode)|Energon Tower}} Returning to Unicron, they discovered Alpha Q had stolen a chunk of their energon stockpile in their absence, and had one more surprise for them: he had revived Starscream as an "energon ghost" and sent him to kill Megatron. Demolishor tried to hold off the mind-wiped spectre of his former teammate, but was helpless to stop him. Fortunately, Megatron used the power of Unicron to bring Starscream under his control, {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}} and Demolishor looked on as Megatron welcomed him back to the Decepticon ranks. {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}}

[[File:KickerBeware megatron and demolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|[[w:Spider-Man (2002 film)|"You have a knack for getting in trouble." "You have a knack for saving my life."]]]]

After the Autobots protected their Cybertron Cities with new [[energon tower]]s, Megatron took out his frustrations on Demolishor and Cyclonus, and tried to pry from them information on ''how'' the Autobots found energon deposits in the first place. It took Starscream's blade pressed to his throat before Demolishor would reveal the existence of Kicker's extrasensory ability to detect energon, but with that information, Megatron formulated a plan. While the Autobots were visiting the remains of Lunar City, Demolishor approached Ironhide and Kicker with the story that he had abandoned Megatron, in an attempt to lure Kicker back to the Decepticons' mobile base for capture. The plan went wrong when Scorponok, secretly working for Alpha Q, took off with the base, and Demolishor and Cylconus's subsequent attempt to snatch Kicker was thwarted by the unseen intervention of [[Team Rodimus]]. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} Demolishor was aghast at Megatron's response to this failure: to simply destroy the Cybertron Cities remotely with an orbital bombardment. He tried to make his leader understand that doing so would kill many humans as well, struggling to explain that humans did not have immortal sparks like Transformers, but Megatron was immovable, and Demolishor was forced to stand by his side as the assault began. Fortunately, the Autobots erected a planetwide [[energon grid]] that shielded Earth from the attack. {{storylink|Energon Grid (episode)|Energon Grid}}

[[File:Energon-Demolishor-Death.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|"Damn you, Ironhide! You were the worst roommate!"]]

Demolishor was a little concerned for Cyclonus's mental state when Megatron used the power of Unicron to heal injuries he had sustained, in the process reformatting him into "Snow Cat"; Megatron brushed off his concerns, and instead excoriated his troops for their failure to locate the interfering Alpha Q. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}} An attempt to flush Alpha Q out only brought the Decepticons into conflict with Team Rodimus, a battle from which Demolishor convinced Megatron to retreat. Soon after, the Decepticons attacked the Autobot ship ''[[Miranda II]]'', which activated its personal [[energon grid]] defense system during the battle. Observing that the distracted Megatron was directly in the path of the grid, Demolishor was galvanized into making a final, fateful decision about where his loyalties lay: diving into action, he pushed his leader out of the way and took the force of the grid's blast himself. ''With his final words, Demolishor entreated the horrified Ironhide to remember him'', and then exploded. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}}

[[File:TaleofTwoHeros demolishor hypermode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Though Demolishor's body was destroyed, his spark persisted and was salvaged by Megatron. Using his control over Unicron's powers to fashion a new body for Demolishor, Megatron took the extra step of wiping his mind, removing any trace of his conflicted nature and degenerating him into a simple-minded, ape-like creature, easily excited and prone to grunting and jumping around. He first saw action in his new form on a blizzard-swept planet, where he and Snow Cat successfully seized an energon deposit from the Autobots, but were sent packing by a swarm of Alpha Q's new [[Cruellock]] Terrorcons. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} He subsequently joined the Decepticon effort to prevent the Autobots from reaching Unicron's body, {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} and engaged [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]] in a vehicle-mode battle on the ''Miranda II's'' hull as both the ship and Unicron returned to Cybertron via [[space bridge]]. The Decepticons were forced to warp away when the Autobots turned the planet's energon grid on, inflicting massive damage onto Unicron's body. {{storylink|Battle Stations}} The sight of Unicron in the skies of Cybertron led the Decepticons on the planet to revolt—news that Demolishor and Snow Cat happily brought to Megatron, though he wasn't particularly bothered. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}}

[[File:SurvivalInstincts reformatted demolishor.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Demolishor was part of the unit sent down to Cybertron's surface to recruit Decepticon war criminal [[Shockblast]]. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}} Upon returning, he had to contend with an energon-starved Unicron's automatic defense attempting to impale him with huge spikes. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}} Once that situation was under control, Demolishor was part of the team sent back down to Cybertron to create an opening in the planet's energon grid by destroying energon towers, {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} then helped hold off the Autobots while Terrorcons gathered energon from the planet's core. This energon re-powered Unicron enough for Megatron to have him transform, and Demolishor helped keep the attacking Autobots busy while the process completed itself. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} When Unicron's transformation was done, Megatron opened his surface beneath Demolishor and Snow Cat so they could escape a standoff with Scorponok, but the Terrorcon leader dogged them through Unicron's interior, foiling their every attempt to battle the Autobots. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} Subsequently, an unstable energon reaction initiated by Alpha Q opened up a rift in space, through which Demolishor, along with Unicron and all the other Decepticons, were sucked into. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}

[[File:ImprisonedInferno demolishor embarassed.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|On this ship, you are to refer to me as "idiot," not "you captain"! I mean - you know what I mean!]]

On the [[Alpha Q's universe|other side of the rift]], Alpha Q used Unicron's head and his energon to begin recreating all the planets that Unicron had once eaten, and Demolishor and the Decepticons began stealing the energon growing within them to continue Megatron's plans for Unicron's body. The Autobots followed, and succeeded in apprehending Shockblast; Demolishor brought news of his capture to Megatron, but the Decepticons purposely left him in Autobot custody on [[Iron Planet]] while they clashed with the Autobots for that planet's energon reserves. {{storylink|Protection}} They later made actual attempts to rescue their comrade. As the Decepticons hunted down the Autobot who had been Shockblast's guard, Inferno, Demolishor was surprised to discover that Shockblast had been demoted below him. He didn't quite grasp the concept of outranking a fellow Decepticon. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}} During the Decepticon attack on [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], Demolishor helped run interference in orbit to keep the Autobots from getting down to the planet's surface, but he and his team-mates were taken down by new Autobot arrivals [[Team Bulkhead]]. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Undeterred, Demolishor and the Decepticons soon made another play for Jungle Planet's energon, only to be repelled when the Autobots erected a new energon tower to shield the planet. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}} Not long thereafter, Demolishor accompanied Megatron in approaching Inferno, who was struggling to overcome the mind-altering programming that the Decepticon leader had inflicted upon him. When Megatron was called away to [[Ocean Planet]], Demolishor, Starscream, and Scorponok were left to help Inferno through his "transition", but Inferno elected to kill himself rather than become a Decepticon. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}}

[[File:ReturnOurScorponok demolishor and snowcat.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|Dumb and Dumber To]]

''With an energon grid now protecting most of the planets, the Decepticons had to scavenge what they could from the half-formed world outside the grid, but Demolishor didn't mind the menial labor. He took part in the battle on the newly-formed [[Planet Q]], where he tried and failed to get Scorponok to focus on energon gathering, rather than fighting Ironhide.'' {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}} Between fights, Demolishor and Snow Cat shuttled supplies around, but had to contend with tremors that shook Unicron, spawned by Megatron's impatience. {{storylink|Crash Course}} On their next energon-gathering mission, Demolishor and his buddies came under attack from the Autobots, but managed to cover the Terrorcons' escape, allowing them to deliver the final payload of energon needed to power Unicron back up to the stage where he could move again. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} Demolishor and the other 'Con grunts then battled the Autobots on Unicron's surface, preventing them from interfering with Megatron's successful reintegration of Unicron's body and head. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}} Demolishor was first on the scene when Shockblast briefly usurped the power of the completed Unicron, but got blasted by the traitor and then expelled from Unicron's body. {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Megatron destroyed Shockblast and briefly retook control, but was soon possessed by Unicron himself, leaving Demolishor, Snow Cat, and Mirage struggling to escape the planet-eater's internal defenses. They failed, and ended up bound to Unicron's surface by energy-tentacles, giving them a front-row seat for the Unicron-controlled Megatron's battle with the gigantic, [[Primus]]-empowered Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Fortunately for them, they were freed by a barrage of Autobot fire moments before Optimus destroyed Unicron, but were subsequently captured by [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}

[[File:Wishes rad hides from demolishor.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"ONCE! IN A LIFE! TIME-" "Go away!" "What? What's wrong with my voice?"]]

With Megatron having apparently perished along with Unicron, Demolishor, Snow Cat, and Mirage were incarcerated on Cybertron, but were soon freed by Starscream, who revealed that Megatron still lived. {{storylink|Ambition}} They were joined in their breakout by Shockblast's younger brother [[Six Shot (Energon)|Six Shot]], who suggested using the planet's energon grid against the Autobots. Demolishor led him to the control room, and might have discovered its human operators, [[Rad White]] and the Jones family, hiding in a vent if he hadn't fallen flat on his face while attempting to peer inside it. {{storylink|Wishes}} Six Shot succeeded in taking control of the energon gas powering the grid and using it to force the Autobots off the planet, and the other Decepticon grunts began to feel a under-appreciated as Megatron (now "Galvatron" again after exposure to [[Super Energon]]) praised Six Shot for his accomplishments. However, following a battle on the hull of the ''Miranda II'', during which Demolishor and Snow Cat were clobbered by [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]], they all enjoyed watching Galvatron beat Six Shot up for taking action without orders. {{storylink|Galvatron!}} The Autobots were soon able to find a way to break through the gas shroud and return to Cybertron; Demolishor took part in the battle that followed, which concluded with the Autobots escaping underground. {{storylink|Break Through}}

[[File:IronhideTeam demolishor news reporter.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.4|On next week's episode, we're gonna have a roach problem!]]

At some point, Demolishor took part in a virtual fighting tournament, thanks to Six Shot hacking into an Autobot training program. Fighting as a tag team, he and Snow Cat went up against [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl]] and [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]], and won when the two Autobots took themselves out of the fight by powerlinxing incorrectly—though in the process, the two Decepticons were inspired to try powerlinxing themselves, even if they couldn't get it quite right. Proceeding to the next round, they discovered their opponents were Galvatron and Starscream, who had already beaten virtual duplicates of the pair in their original bodies in the previous round. Frustrated to have found his minions goofing off in the game, Galvatron thrashed them, then quit the tournament. {{storylink|Distribution}}

Hoping to get a taste of the Super Energon that had empowered Galvatron and Starscream, Demolishor, Snow Cat, and Mirage went searching for the subterranean reservoir that held the miracle fuel, accidentally stumbling into Primus's chamber in the process. Finding Rad and the Jones family taking refuge there, Demolishor and Snow Cat left Mirage to stand guard and forced [[Brian Jones]] to lead them to the [[Super Energon Temple|temple]] containing the Super Energon. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} They were a little nervous about immersing themselves in it, but were finally about to take the plunge when a horde of [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticon Terrorcon drones]] burst out of the reservoir's depths and scared them witless. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}} Fleeing from the Insecticons, and having grown to giant size due to exposure to Super Energon, the pair headed back to the surface and sent word of the creatures' approach to Galvatron, news-reporter style. They rejoined their leader on the battlefield, just in time for Optimus to have his spark of combination re-energized by Primus's awakening. Once more able to combine with Omega Supreme, Optimus blew away all of his enemies with a whirlwind attack. {{storylink|Ironhide Team}}

Once the rogue Terrorcons were back under control, the Decepticons turned to the business of using the energon towers to move Cybertron through space, through the rift and back to Alpha Q's realm. Demolishor helped battle the Autobots as the planet moved through the rift, and later tried to defend the towers against Autobot attack, though both times, he had to contend with Six Shot's ambition constantly undermining their battlefield movements. {{storylink|Formidable}} After Six Shot purposefully allowed the towers he was guarding to overload, Demolishor was assigned to keep an eye on him alongside Snow Cat and Mirage. Six Shot soon tricked them into leaving him unattended by suggesting they make another play for the Super Energon pool. Demolishor and his buddies sped off, but quickly found the corridors all around them closing off as Six Shot used the control room to lock them in. Starscream freed Demolishor and co. a short time later, but they found themselves battling Autobots until far more world-shaking matters took precedent: Galvatron had used the Super Energon to transform himself into a giant. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}}

Demolishor and the other Decepticons held off the Autobots as they attacked the towering form of the Decepticon leader, but as he grew larger and larger and the planet's surface began to crack under his weight, Demolishor followed Snow Cat's advice to get the heck out of there. Under the sway of the still-living consciousness of Unicron, Galvatron took off for space, towing Cybertron behind him on a Super Energon cable; Demolishor and the rest followed, offering some token return fire at the pursuing Autobots. {{storylink|Destructive Power}} When Optimus Prime used the power of Unicron to grow to a titan of equal height, Demolishor and Snow Cat broke off from the battle to excitedly watch the two giant leaders duke it out on Jungle Planet. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}} Unable to make much in the way of a contribution to the huge scale of the final battle, Demolishor, Snow Cat, and Mirage could only spectate as the possessed Galvatron shook off Unicron's influence long enough to sacrifice himself by plunging into a foundling energon sun created by Primus. While loyalists Starscream and Mirage followed their leader into solar oblivion, the long-suffering Demolishor and Snow Cat could only float in space and ponder what to do next with their lives. {{storylink|The Sun}}

Ten years after the battle for energon, when the [[Unicron Singularity]] forced the evacuation of Cybertron, Demolishor was left behind on their deserted homeworld. Through circumstances unknown, he had reverted to a version of his original Earth body (no word on whether his mentality recovered as well), and kept himself busy by fighting off the [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]] horde that began infesting the planet soon after. Demolishor heard rumors that Megatron had once again returned from the dead, but after the ordeal he went through last time, he hoped it was not true, since he found that he enjoyed not being pushed around by his commander for once. {{storylink|#Cybertron|Demolishor's ''Cybertron'' toy bio}}

====''Timelines''====
During the search for the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, Decepticon sniper [[Swindle (Cybertron)|Swindle]] bitterly remarked on Demolishor and Snow Cat's disappearance from the Decepticon ranks, considering it evidence of how little good loyalty to Megatron would do to advance a 'bot's standing in life. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}

Millions of years later, when a Mini-Con signal was broadcast from Earth, the Decepticons picked it up and quickly made plans to travel to Earth. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 3|Armada #3}} Upon arrival, Demolishor, Cyclonus and [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] broke into a [[human]] military base, where Demolishor scanned a tank for his new [[alternate mode]] (though the resulting tank mode wasn't particularly close to the source). {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 4|Armada #4}} While the other Decepticons began fighting the Autobots who had followed them to Earth, Demolishor ambushed the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team]], [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] and three human kids.

Then four other Mini-Cons swarmed his face and shattered his targeting reticle "eyepatch". {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 5|Armada #5}}

After the Decepticons successfully captured the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]], Demolishor helped bring them back to the Decepticon base at [[Silver Ridge]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 6|Armada #6}} He later participated in the attack on the [[Autobase|Autobot base]], but didn't do much other than stand around and take offense to Starscream's claims that Megatron didn't need any underlings when he had the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 7|Armada #7}} A little later, Demolishor joined Starscream and Cyclonus in capturing two humans who had been befriended by Starscream's Mini-Con [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]], but unfortunately for them, they turned out to be the Autobots' human allies Rad and Carlos. The Autobots soon arrived to rescue their friends, and when Swindle turned on the Decepticons for tricking him into thinking he was going to be released, the villains retreated. {{storylink|Armada Free Comic Book Day}}

When the Decepticons' Mini-Cons escaped, Demolishor and the others pursued them to [[Kansas]], where they fired impotently on a [[Mini-Con Ark|large object]] that was stealing all of Earth's Mini-Cons. They were then distracted by the arrival of several Autobots, and could only watch as the object rocketed off into space. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 8|Armada #8}} After figuring out that the Mini-Cons had ended up on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], the Decepticons chased after their precious power-ups. As Demolishor was the only Decepticon incapable of flight (Megatron got temporary rocket thrusters), he was left behind to guard the base. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}} He wasn't very good at it, though, and was beaten up by Autobots who wanted to use the Decepticons' [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 10|Armada #10}}

When said space bridge stopped working some time later, Megatron ordered Demolishor and Starscream to fix it. Neither of them knew how. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}} The Decepticons later learned that [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] had gone missing, and they seized the opportunity to perform an all-out assault on the Autobots. Demolishor found himself facing down [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] on a thin mountain road, and decided to play a game of chicken with them. He won, as both Autobots swerved away and fell off the road, where Smokescreen was seriously injured by Megatron. Shortly afterwards, their winning streak was interrupted by a [[Galvatron (G1)|mysterious powerful Transformer]] who knocked out Demolishor, Cyclonus and Starscream in short order. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}} As it turned out, the stranger had been a [[Herald of Unicron|Herald]] of [[Unicron]], who was on his way to destroy Cybertron. The Decepticons were forced to ally themselves with the Autobots and return to their home planet in order to fight him off. Demolishor survived the battle with Unicron and was seen among the crowds of cheering Transformers in the aftermath. {{storylink|The End}}

Some time in Cybertron's past, during the war, Demolishor was part of a battle in which [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] led an attack on an Autobot bunker. Demolishor watched the battle from a Decepticon saucer-ship, alongside Megatron, Starscream, Cyclonus and Thrust. {{storylink|No Exit}}

Ten years after the battle with Unicron, Unicron's [[Unicron's Four Horsemen|Four Horsemen]] attacked Cybertron. Demolishor was among the Transformers called in as reinforcements against this new threat. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Two}} Some time later, he was stationed at the [[energon]] ore processing plant [[Deltos-Five]] when its systems started going haywire. Grumbling that Thrust had left him to deal with technical difficulties while ''he'' got to have fun fighting [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] on Earth, Demolishor made his way into the facility, where he was ambushed by a ghostly Starscream. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}}

Demolishor was recovered by [[Alpha Quintesson]] and upgraded into a new body via the power of Unicron. Placed on Earth shortly before the Autobots erected a [[energon grid|global energy shield]], Demolishor was charged with kidnapping [[Kicker Jones]], and tracked the boy down just as he as attempting to play hooky from a training session at [[Alterenergy|AlterEnergy]]. Demolishor approached in his new dump truck alternate mode, and Kicker actually flagged him down in hopes of hitching a lift before Demolishor revealed his true nature. {{storylink|Doomsday Redux!}} Demolishor's specially-tailored new form allowed him to first shrug off energon blasts from the human boy, and then easily take out an AlterEnergy rapid response team, before grabbing Kicker and absconding. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 1}}

With Alpha Quntession unable to teleport him off-planet thanks to the energy shield, Demolishor went into hiding; AlterEnergy began searching the planet for him, {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}} but he was holed up in a cave in [[Mexico]], by a space bridge portal, waiting for Alpha Quintesson's forces to take out the shield down so he could use the bridge to bring Kicker to his master. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 3}} An AlterEnergy team led by Rad tracked him down before that could happen, but Demolishor was ready for them and the Autobot backup they brought, and was able to fight them to a standstill. Word then came through from Alpha Quintesson that the energy shield was down, so Demolishor broke off the fight and returned to the chamber he had been keeping Kicker in, only to find that the boy had been freed by Rad and Carlos while he had been busy in battle. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 4}} Demolishor immediately gave chase through the caves, but when he caught up to them, Kicker stood his ground and used his special powers to channel the energy of all the energon on Earth, using it to utterly destroy Demolishor. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 5}}

Demolishor was among the Decepticons who had a great time kidnapping Mini-Cons back when the war broke out. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Counter-Strike!}}

In modern day, he was sent to [[Earth]] to search for escaped Mini-Cons alongside [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] and [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]. Demolishor was apparently still searching elsewhere when the rest of the Decepticons were beaten up by the Autobots and fled. {{storylink|Friends and Foes!}} Eventually, he sawed his way into the wreckage of the Mini-Cons' ship, as he had orders from [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] to retrieve its [[locator log]]. He was surprised to find the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team|Street Action Team]] in the ship, and wasn't sure what to do with the situation. Deciding that the best course of action was violence, he began blasting the Mini-Cons but was distracted when [[Rad White]] grabbed the locator log and ran for it. Demolishor followed in his tank mode, only to drive straight into an unstable part of the cave, where the vibrations from his treads caused the hidden log to explode and collapse the cave on top of him. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 3|Deep Trouble!}}

Some time later, Demolishor participated in an attack on the Autobots when they were trying to send their Mini-Cons back to Cybertron. Though the Mini-Cons ultimately decided to stay on Earth, the Decepticons destroyed the Autobots' space bridge anyways. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 4|No Way Back!}} [[File:PaniniArmada9 demolishor powerlinx.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5]] He and Cyclonus were then sent to search for Mini-Cons on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. The Autobots [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] and [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] followed them, but were no match for the Mini-Con-augmented Decepticons. Demolishor shot Smokescreen down and prepared to squash him under his tracks, but didn't expect the Autobot to suddenly get a Mini-Con partner of his own. Powered by [[Liftor]], Smokescreen delivered a powerful punch to the incoming Demolishor, driving him back. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 6|Between Two Worlds!}}

When the Decepticons planned to [[Nuclear weapon|nuke]] the Autobots from their new lunar base, Demolishor caught a transmission from the Autobots' Mini-Cons, who offered to surrender in exchange for the Autobots' lives. He reported this to Megatron, who opted to take the Mini-Cons then blow the Autobots up anyway. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Earthshaker!}} The plan was a huge failure, ending with the destruction of the Decepticon base and no Mini-Cons to show for it. Demolishor cheerfully referred to the whole thing as a "bit of a blip in the old world-conquest plans", which promptly got him punished by the disgruntled Megatron. Suddenly, Cyclonus showed up and started attacking his fellow Decepticons. He turned out to be possessed by the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], who were using him to get rid of Megatron once and for all. After watching the two duel for a while, Demolishor power-linked with [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]] and entered the fray, but did little damage to Cyclonus. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Dawn of Destruction!}}

Demolishor tussled with a vehicle mode Optimus, but evidently didn't fare too well, as the Autobot leader was seen battling Megatron moments later. Bested, the "cowardly" pair warped away. {{storylink|Cave Catastrophe}}

===Reader's Digest ''Armada'' novels===
Demolishor was one of the Decepticons warped to the planet Earth after the Mini-Cons, who had long been dormant there, awoke. The Decepticons' initial attack against the Autobots was rebuffed, and they began building a base of operations on the Moon by reinforcing the partial remains of the Mini-Cons' ship.

Demolishor and Starscream were tasked by Megatron to scan all of the Earth's vehicles to find suitable alternate modes. When Megatron checked in on their progress, Demolishor presented Earth's mightiest military vehicles to his leader. Demolishor chose a "missile tank" alternate mode for himself. Megatron then led the members of his inner circle on an assault on the Autobots' base on Earth. The assault was briefly halted when Megatron spotted the Autobots' human allies, Rad, Alexis and Carlos, rush into the war-zone. Megatron demanded that the children hand over their Mini-Con companions. But Optimus Prime and his Autobots weren't far behind, and they launched a counter-attack against the Decepticons. Demolishor tried to blast Optimus, only for his missile to be deflected by the Autobot Red Alert. Subsequent assaults on the Autobots proved futile, as Optimus assumed his "Super Optimus Prime" mode and overwhelmed the Decepticons with pure brute strength. The balance of power shifted even further in the Autobots' favor when Red Alert and Hot Shot acquired Mini-Cons. Red Alert used the new strength bestowed upon him by his new partner, Longarm, to lift Demolishor up off the ground, then Hot Shot used the electrical powers granted to him by his Mini-Con, Jolt, to short out the Decepticon's circuits. Megatron soon recognized that the Decepticons were outmatched and ordered a retreat.

Back on the moon, the Decepticons squabbled over their defeat until Cyclonus teleported in late. As it turns out, two other Mini-Con panels had been uncovered by the children during the fight, and Cyclonus had managed to snatch them away before fleeing. Megatron allowed Cyclonus to keep one of the Mini-Cons, while the other was given to Demolishor. Demolishor named his new partner “Blackout." {{storylink|Transformers Armada: Race for the Mini-Con Robots|Race for the Mini-Con Robots}}

[[File:LOTM Ironhide.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|(''Takara version pictured'')]]
*'''Demolishor with Blackout''' (Super-Con Class, [[2002]])
**''Takara ID number'': '''MD-03'''
**''Takara release date'': [[December 28]], 2002
**''Accessories'': 4 missiles

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' "Super-Con Class" toy (basically "Deluxes"), Demolishor transforms into an anti-aircraft missile tank of made-up model, though it appears to be heavily based on the ADATS weapon system. His primary Mini-Con gimmick is the twin spring-loaded missile launcher in his left shoulder; attaching any Mini-Con to the Powerlinx port there pops the launcher forward, after which the missiles can be fired simultaneously by pulling the Mini-Con back. Reportedly, Demolishor was to feature this gimmick in both shoulders, but it was cut back to one for cost considerations, so his right shoulder now simply holds two spare missiles.

: In vehicle mode, Demolishor features extra Mini-Con compatibility design specially around his partner [[Blackout (Armada)#Toys|Blackout]]. When in vehicle mode, Blackout can be inserted into the space between Demolishor's front treads, forming a more "complete"-looking tank. Blackout can then be launched into action by a small spring-loaded launcher, activated by a tiny button on Demolishor's back end. Also on the back end is a flip-out seat that Blackout or any other appropriately-jointed Mini-Con can sit in to "man" his guns (Though Blackout's hand-guns plug quite nicely into the screw-holes in the back of Demolishor's turret, making it look like a more direct interface). The seat can also be used for Demolishor's rudimentary "Attack Base" mode, which involves folding out his legs/treads to turn him into an elevated anti-aircraft station.

: The Takara "Ironhide" release, also in that series' first wave, renders the figure in more primary, show-accurate colors, painting him a more greenish shade of tan and making his face brown rather than black, and features a Decepticon symbol with proper "separated" [[Paint operation|paint applications]], among several other smaller paint changes.

:This toy doubles as Generation 1 [[Demolisher]].

: In Japan, Demolishor was available both separately and in a multi-pack with the [[Land Military Mini-Con Team]]. All toys in the set are identical to their individual releases.

*'''Powerlinx Demolishor with Powerlinx Blackout''' (Super-Con Class, 2003)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''MD-10'''
**''Accessories'': 4 missiles

: Part of the final wave of ''Armada'' product, this [[redeco]] of the original Demolishor gives him in a new red and off-white color scheme, roughly [[Homage|homaging]] [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. According to [[Aaron Archer]], he was originally intended to be colored like [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], because Demolishor's gun-hands reminded him of Sixshot (we don't get it either—maybe he meant [[Six-Gun|Six-''Gun'']]?),<ref>{{TFW2005|While the repaint was originally supposed to be painted in a “Generation One Sixshot-like” color scheme, the plans were scrapped.|https://news.tfw2005.com/2003/04/09/demolishor-repaint-confirmed-179|Tim Formas|2003|03|09}}</ref> but the red color scheme was decided upon and used in the animated series first, so the toy had to follow suit. Reflecting the late nature of this change, his packaging depicts a normal-colored Demolishor toy, as the colors had not been decided upon by the time cardback photography was required.

: The Takara "Ironhide Super Mode" release is similar to the Hasbro one, but its colors are once again lightly tweaked to look more cartoony, in darker, more primary shades and not as glossy. It also lacks the dark blue paint on top of the Hasbro version's head, and once again has a "separated" Decepticon symbol rather than a block-painted one.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Demolishor (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Demolishor]].

*'''Demolishor''' (Built to Rule!, 2003)
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles

: One of the smaller ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets, Demolishor's vehicle mode is still an anti-aircraft missile tank, but with only one spring-loaded rocket per side, activated by a rotating "drum" on top of the launcher. He also features working rubber treads, and a 2x2 "[[Powerlinx]]" plate than can be used by both ''BTR''-based and regular-type [[Mini-Con]]s, though the grip on the latter is not terribly great. He is "transformed" by removing pretty much everything on the "Trans-Skeleton" core, flipping out the limbs, then adding ''some'' of the parts back on to create a super-top-heavy, awkward robot.

: He also comes with a building-block version of [[Blackout (Armada)#Built to Rule!|Blackout]].

: His 1x4 plates with the flat area in the middle would later show up in some ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets.

: Part of the final wave of ''Armada Built to Rule!'', the first Demolishor set was [[redeco]]ed into colors very close to those of the [[Night Attack Mini-Con Team]]. Again, he comes with a similarly-colored version of Blackout.

: Night Attack Demolishor did not ship very prominently, but eventually could be found at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores for the heavily discounted-price of $2 or so.

**''Accessories'': 4 missiles

: Originally released as part of the initial assortment of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Super Link]]'' toys, the original Demolishor toy (and accompanying Mini-Con [[Blackout (Armada)#Energon|Blackout]]) was given a very [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]-y color scheme of lime green, light gray and purple.

: This version was released ''much'' later in the US, with no changes other than packaging, late in the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' line as a [[KB Toys]] stores [[exclusive]], alongside the ''Super Link'' redeco of [[Cyclonus (Armada)#Energon|Cyclonus]]. Near as can be told, there are no notable differences between the Takara and Hasbro releases aside from packaging.

**''Takara release date'': [[April 28]], 2004
**''Accessories'': 4 missiles

: ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Demolishor's new body transforms into a large "earth-mover" dump truck. His truck bed contains four spring-loaded missiles, plus four "false", non-firing missiles. His center torso block can rotate forward to bring his launcher over his body for "[[Super Mode|Hyper Mode]]"... which puts his head right in the middle of his sternum. His truck bed also features two pairs of "dead" Powerlinx plugs to attach Mini-Cons to, one pair on each side of the "flap", allowing for Mini-Con Powerlinxing in both truck and [[robot mode]]s.

: The truck bed also has possibly the biggest Decepticon [[insignia]] on a Deluxe-level toy ''ever''.

: According to Hasbro in [[Hasbro Q&A/August 2009: Answers|a Q&A]], he was originally supposed to be a new character named [[Long Haul (disambiguation)|Long Haul]].

*'''Demolishor''' (Deluxe Class, 2006)
**''Accessories'': 4 missiles, Cybertron Cyber Key
**''Cyber Key Code'': '''dt67'''

: A late addition to the [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toy line]], the original ''Armada'' Demolishor figure was redecoed in a more military camo scheme. He does not come with his Mini-Con partner Blackout in this release; instead, Demolishor and his [[wave]]-mate [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#CybDx|Optimus Prime]] debuted a new [[Cyber Key]] variant: [[retool]]ed from the standard "[[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]" style key, this version lacked a sculpted [[insignia]], so that any symbol could be [[tampograph]]ed on to it, and featured a [[Mini-Con]]-style [[Powerlinx]] socket on the back, allowing it to operate the figure's formerly-Mini-Con-activated missile launcher feature without the figure itself having to be retooled.

: The key sports a tampographed Decepticon insignia, a purple border, and a [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] tampographed on the back. This code, when entered on Hasbro's website, was ''supposed'' to unlock additional information on the character or the toy, but due to an error on behalf of Hasbro, it unlocked information intended for Demolishor's wave-mate, the aforementioned Deluxe Class Optimus Prime; Demolishor's information was instead unlocked using the code "D56B", which was tampographed on the back of the Cyber Key included with said Optimus Prime toy.

*'''Demolishor''' (October 2002)
**''Accessories'': Arm/cannon

:One of eight [[McDonald's]] ''Armada'' promotional toys, Demolishor is a simple toy that transforms from Cybertronian tank to robot in a few steps. His right arm/cannon features a "battle damage" pop-off gimmick that is activated when a yellow button on the front of his tank mode is pressed.

:He has a [[Powerlinx]] post on his front left tread that you can attach Mini-Cons to, though its main purpose is to allow him to combine with the other Happy Meal Decepticons to form a [[Mighty Vehicle]]. The back of his head has a Mini-Con Powerlinx port, so he can activate Mini-Con features on larger toys, but given its location and his size, it would be a pretty awkward fit on most figures.

**''Series'': '''ACT 9'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' Demolishor ("Ironhide" in Japan) is a 3-inch tall soft-plastic figurine based on his animation model. Made to pop apart, he has limited articulation, with swivel neck, waist, shoulders and legs. He came in two paint schemes: full-color and pewter-finish, each available at an equal ratio of one each per case of twelve figures. Be careful with the pewter version, as the pegs are often painted, leading to super-tight fits and occasional breakage.

: Like all normal SCF figures, he was sold in a [[blindpacking|blind-box]] assortment, so you could not tell which mold or color scheme you got until you actually opened the box.

**''Accessories'': 4 missiles

: At double the size of a normal SCF figure, this non-transformable figure of Demolishor features more -but still limited- posability, with restricted-balljoint neck, shoulders and hips, double-swivel elbows, and swivel wrists, waist and knees. He also has removable missiles, and comes with a really teeny version of [[Blackout (Armada)#MSCF|Blackout]].

: As the Mega SCFs are all based on a singular ball/socket and clip system for joints, you can swap parts from any figure around with any other in the line... as long as there's enough clearance, of course.

: Shown at Toy Fair 2006, ''[[Attacktix]]'' Demolishor is based on his ''Energon'' dump-truck body, with a back-mounted missile launcher that shot a wide-headed missile. He was placed in an early mock-up of the starter set, but ultimately only the vehicle mode [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] piece would end up in the final product. The piece had no sticker on the front as well. And then... that was the last anyone ''saw'' of this piece. It was never shuffled into a later assortment or even mentioned anywhere. What the hell?

==Notes==
[[File:ARgame-DemoFight.jpg|right|thumb|ARHH!!|upright=1.3]]
*According to the Armada IP Creative Bible, one of his production names was '''Scourge'''. Get it, Scourge, [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], and [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]]?
*According to [[Aaron Archer]], Demolishor was loosely based on a pirate, hence the eyepatch design and his name being ''Demolish'''or'''''.<ref>{{instagram|I originally thought of him as a Pirate (accent on the OR at the end of his name) but he is also a tank type body proportion based on his vh form. I like his targeting eye-patch and gun fingers.|https://www.instagram.com/p/BukR4uyHbVh/|Aaron Archer|2019|03|04}}</ref> Alongside Cyclonus, he was an early test for the Mini-Con play pattern; Archer always thought of the characters as a pair.<ref>{{instagram|Cyclonus was a early concept model for ways the mini cons could work.

*Demolishor was originally planned to be in the [[Transformers (PS2)|''Armada'' PlayStation 2 game]] as a long-running boss fight in the Antarctic. According to the original storyboards (unlocked in the game by finding the appropriate [[Data-Con]] on the [[Pacific Island]] base), he was the pilot of the crashed starship (instead of [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]), and the player would have first fought him inside the control room of the ship. [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] was then to fire on the ship when Demolishor was near defeat, which would cause the ship to crash into the chasm below. The player would then have to chase Demolishor vertically through the downed ship and into an ice cavern, where he would try and drop stalactites on your head during your final confrontation. Why Demolishor was removed from the game is unknown, though the most likely explanation is time and budget concerns.
*Demolishor's scrapped renaming into '''Long Haul''' for his dump truck body in ''Energon'' leaves him the odd man out compared to "[[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]]" and "[[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]]".
*Demolishor's Energon CG model inconstantly fluctuated between one bearing his toys shrimpy arms and one with larger, more proportionate ones. The color of his hands is also known to swap without reason between green and black.
*Despite originating in the Unicron Trilogy, Demolishor has had [[Demolishor (SG)|two]] [[Demolishor (WFC)|characters]] based on him appear in [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|two]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|separate]] Generation 1-influenced continuities, both before he actually got a [[Demolisher|Generation 1 counterpart]]. Probably helped by [[Demolishor (ROTF)|his third namesake]] appearing in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.

'''When Optimus returns with old friends and dire warnings of a Cybertronian invasion of Earth, the Autobots must split up to defend their old home and their new one, with the Bee Team returning to Cybertron, while Optimus and his All-Stars stay behind to defend against the invasion's advanced force.'''
==Synopsis==
[[File:TRID S3 E25 EOME SC 1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Why did he leave?" "He was training a new generation of Jedi. One boy, an apprentice, turned against him, destroyed it all."]] The [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]], [[Russell Clay|Russell]], and [[Denny Clay|Denny]] are pinned down in the [[Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist|scrapyard]] as they are attacked by their own security system. [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] claims that this is no malfunction, but rather due to an outside source. Just as Fixit is about to be blasted, [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] manages to cut the power to the laser cannon. While they ponder what could have caused this, [[Prime Force One]] de-cloaks above the scrapyard. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] emerges, flanked by a team made up of [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], and [[Drift (RID)|Drift]]. Prime apologizes, explaining that the ship's damaged cloaking technology had been replaced with an experimental substitute built by Ratchet, which triggered the defense system. As the Bee Team welcome their friends back, they can't help but feel that Optimus owes them an explanation of his recent activities. Optimus agrees and asks the Bee Team to aid them in his mission: [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s liberation.

[[File:TRID S3 E25 EOME SC 2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?" "Yes." "The dark side, and the light."]]
Optimus explains that following Cybertron's post-war reconstruction, a new [[Autobot High Council]] took power and began to discourage interference with other worlds while blaming Optimus for Cybertron's destruction and warfare, along with any [[Autobot]] who ever stood with him. As a result, all his allies were blacklisted and left with low-level positions on Cybertron. Since then, Optimus had been gathering evidence and recruiting new 'bots to his cause. With Drift having obtained proof of the Council mind-controlling Cybertron's populace into supporting their goals, Optimus has the last piece he needs to expose them. As if on cue, multiple Autobot signatures are detected near [[Crown City]], signalling the start of the Council's final plan: a Cybertronian invasion of Earth.

In the High Council Chambers on Cybertron, [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]] holds a meeting of the Council, reviewing the details of their plan one final time in the face of their impending victory. [[Cyberwarp]] remains skeptical of the Council's violent methods, but she is alone in her dissent, the others silently concurring as Cyclonus seems almost gleeful at the idea of others suffering for their gain. He reminds Cyberwarp that she has been complicit in everything up until this point, and assures her that the ends will justify the means as long as she plays her part.

[[File:TRID S3 E25 EOME SC 3.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Wha- why? Why are you helping me?" "Because it's the right thing to do." "You need a pilot." "I need a pilot."]]
[[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] wants to take the fight to the invaders, but Optimus insists someone must return to Cybertron to free the population from their mind control. Because his team is too recognizable, Optimus sends the Bee Team to Cybertron while he and the others protect the Earth, with Bumblebee camouflaging himself to avoid recognition. As the Bee Team pilots Prime Force One back to Cybertron, Fixit detects an extra energy signature on board, with the stowaway revealing himself to be [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]. Having overheard Optimus's story while staking out the scrapyard, Steeljaw proposes an alliance until the High Council can be stopped, as their invasion clashes with his own goal of turning Earth into a [[Decepticon]] homeworld. Bumblebee refuses, placing [[stasis cuffs]] and a [[paralytic patch]] that prevents speech on Steeljaw, and orders the team to lock him up. On Earth, Optimus and his team follow a Cybertronian signal to an electronic parts warehouse and watch a Cybertronian covert craft emerge, suggesting the invaders are an advance party and not the main force. The team investigate the warehouse, which has been cleared out save for a Cybertronian tablet with a list of items to be collected. Optimus realizes they are trying to build a [[space bridge]] receiver, through which an entire invasion force could pass.

The Bee Team continue to debate whether Steeljaw should assist them on the mission, but are interrupted by Cybertronian drone defenses attacking the ship after a satellite temporarily disrupts their cloak. They attempt to defend themselves, but all except Bumblebee and Fixit are knocked out by a sudden blast. With Fixit busy piloting and drones firing from every direction, Bumblebee needs another bot to join him at the weapons console. Steeljaw volunteers, having freed himself in the commotion, and Bumblebee reluctantly agrees. Steeljaw proves to be an adept shooter, and the two manage to take out their attackers. Still unconvinced Steeljaw was acting out of anything but self-preservation, Bumblebee knocks him out and re-imprisons him. On Earth, Ratchet and Jazz deduce that all the space bridge activity since the Bee Team arrived on Earth has left millions of charged space bridge particles in the air, which the receiver could harness for power. Optimus notices a device generating the signal they had followed, and Windblade realizes it was a decoy meant to lure them, which she discovers is connected to a bomb. Before they can escape, the bomb explodes and destroys the warehouse.

[[File:TRID S3 E25 EOME SC 4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"All remaining systems will bow down to the First Order! And will remember this day as the last day of the Republic!"]]
On Cybertron, Prime Force One touches down near the High Council Chambers, and Steeljaw again insists the team will need his help due to his familiarity with the building and its subsonic defenses, which have been upgraded after the Council learned of Drift's intrusion. Though [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] is unconvinced, Bumblebee refuses to take any chances and agrees to bring Steeljaw. As they pass through [[Kaon Plaza]], they witness Cyberwarp spreading pro-council propaganda via giant holoprojections all over the city. A High Council trooper notices [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] and begins running a facial-recognition scan, forcing the team to drop their cover and make a break for the Council Building. They turn into an alleyway, only to be faced with innumerable troopers and drones surrounding them on all sides.

==Quotes==
"I've just never understood why in order for our kind to succeed, others must suffer." 
"Oh, they don't have to suffer, Cyberwarp. That's just a happy bonus." 
"You're taking too much pleasure in this, Cyclonus." 
"And you're not taking enough."
:—'''Cyberwarp''' realizes '''Cyclonus''' might possibly not be the best boss.

"When I first came to Earth I wanted a planet. ''Any'' planet, to rule as a Decepticon homeworld. But, I've come to like this world. And if the High Council conquers Earth, ''I'' can't have it."
:—'''Steeljaw''' keeps his stuff here.

"This is what all of you seem like to me: blindly following your leaders and never truly free." 
"We ''choose'' our leaders, Steeljaw. Just usually without being mind-controlled into our choices. Besides, if you ever get your 'Decepticon utopia', you'd be just another dictator. You'd crush any opposition rather than step aside if your people wanted you to."
:—'''Steeljaw''' and '''Bumblebee''' talk freedom.

"Your High Council knows what is best. Optimus' time has passed. The galaxy is ours to shape."
:—'''Cyberwarp''', High Council Member for {{w|Agitprop}}.

*A total of ''seventy'' Autobot profile images flash past as Optimus describes the 'bots who are blacklisted for associating with him. Each one has the character's name written on it in the "[[Cybertronian language#Notes|Decepticon Graffiti]]" font (though most are too small to translate), with a [[Tech Spec]]s bar graph across the bottom, both of which we have been able to use to identify everyone.

*We called it way back in "[[Decepticon Island (Part 1)]]", and we now get confirmation that Bumblebee's low status as a beat cop at the start of the series was due to the new Council's anti-Autobot attitude.
*Ratchet isn't shown to be partnered with Undertone anymore and though he is shown as one of the Autobots blacklisted for associating with Optimus, his fate is left unclear.
*Cliffjumper, Tailgate, Alpha Trion, and Seaspray all appear on the list of blacklisted Autobots despite the fact that they're, uh, all ''dead'', having perished long before the Council ever took power. However, the council may not have known they died, considering the large sums of casualties during the Great War.

**The Autobots have run out of stasis pods at this point in the series.

===Transformers references===
*Besides all the new G1-inspired character designs shown when the profile images fly by, there are also some references in the characters we ''have'' seen in ''Prime'':
**Smokescreen and Alpha Trion are donning a new color scheme and body based off their [[Smokescreen (G1)|Generation 1]] [[Alpha Trion (G1)|counterparts]].
**In contrast to being an altered version of [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] as shown in ''Prime'', Tailgate is shown having a ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|MTMTE]]''-inspired body style his [[Tailgate (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]] employs. This could be an earlier version of his body.
**Arcee's appearance has been tweaked with some elements of her [[Arcee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], including helmet-hairbuns and shoulder-backpack kibble.
**Wheeljack is equipped with [[Wheeljack (G1)|a shoulder-mounted cannon]].

===Real-world references===
*[[Leonard McCoy|Ratchet is a medic, not an inventor]].

===Trivia===
*The episode's title refers to the ancient proverb, "{{w|The enemy of my enemy is my friend}}".
*Grimlock's photo features his blue concept art visor, which he never used in the show.
*The models used by Cyberwarp and Skyjack are tweaked versions of Windblade's pre-earth model, though each had a unique chest design.

[[File:MP Magnus book cover art.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.2|He can't deal with the obligatory joke now!]]
Sometimes [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] looks a lot like [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. There are a lot of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime toys]], and they need to be [[redeco]]ed into SOMETHING. Ergo...

==Toys==
===''The Transformers''===
{{anchor|Generation 1}}[[File:Ultramagnusg1toy.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|Honkimus Prime]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1986, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, 2 trailer connectors/waist plates, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 large robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

: ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue. His chestplate, which was rendered white in his package art, was molded in the same blue as his shoulders. He transforms into a White Freightliner WFT-8664T cabover semi-trailer truck, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his [[robot mode]]s to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

:Despite having extensive arm articulation on the same level as his inner Prime mold, Magnus's completed robot mode's arms are somewhat hindered by protrusions along the sides of his body. While this does not particularly impede his arms from moving, positioning them at certain levels will cause said protrusions to force them outwards. The helmet also features empty eye-sockets, which show nothing but his inner Prime's upper brow behind them as opposed to actual eyes.

:The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus—released as part of the ''[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]'' sub-line—''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head. In addition, the clear yellow plastic that formed his windows was removed from the cab, leaving just holes instead; and his thighs and fuel tanks were left white, as opposed to the vacuum metalized chrome ones of the original release.

:The small robot component, as well as being part of Optimus Prime, was also released with a different trailer as [[Pepsi Convoy]]. The white Optimus Prime redeco was also repurposed to be [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] himself in the ''[[Transformers vs. G.I. Joe]]'' [[The War Never Ends|#11]].

[[File:Reissue ultra magnus.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (December 2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, 2 trailer connectors/waist plates, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 large robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

:Ultra Magnus was first reissued in Japan in December of 2000, featuring no discernible changes from the original Japanese edition of the figure. His packaging sported a metallic golden sticker commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the ''Transformers'' franchise in Japan.

:This reissue of Magnus was accompanied by two exclusive redecos, noted below.

{{-}}{{anchor|MatrixGlow}}
[[File:Ultra-magnus Matrix Glow.JPG|right|upright=1.67|thumb|Till All Go Number One!]]
*'''Shining Magnus''' ([[December 26]], 2000)
**''ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, trailer connector/waist plate, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

: With a yellow cab and an entirely translucent yellow trailer, Shining Magnus is intended to recall the moment in the ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', just before Optimus Prime dies, when the Matrix is passed to Ultra Magnus and he is bathed in its light. Which was... ''blue'' in the animated movie, but is actually from the Marvel Comics adaption of the said movie.

:Shining Magnus was one of two exclusive redecos released in the wake of the 2000 reissue of the original Ultra Magnus toy. Limited to only 800 pieces, it was available only at the 20th Century Toy Museum toy show, held on [[December 26]], 2000 at the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Yokohama, Japan. The toy is sometimes known as "Matrix Glow Magnus" amongst collectors, or less favorably, "Urine Magnus".

**''ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, trailer connector/waist plate, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

: In the early stages of the development of ''The Transformers: The Movie'', [[The Transformers: The Movie promo|promotional footage]] for the movie was released that depicted Ultra Magnus in the black, red, and dark blue color scheme of the original ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy toy. As the second of two exclusive redecos released in the wake of the 2000 reissue of the original Ultra Magnus toy, the "Movie Preview Version" (予告編バージョン ''Yokokuhen Bājon'')<ref>"Yokukuhen" can also mean "Movie Trailer"; the terms appear to be interchangeable in Japanese.</ref> of Ultra Magnus paid homage to this early appearance. He ''is'' just a redeco of the Magnus figure, however, and so despite his resemblance to the ''Diaclone'' figure, he still lacks that toy's exclusive features, like Powered Buggy, wheels in his chestplate, and a Diaclone pilot.

: Movie Preview Version Ultra Magnus was available exclusively at Toy Festival 2001, held on [[February 26]], 2001 in Tokyo, Japan, limited to 1,500 pieces.

===Transform Jr===
[[File:Ultramagnus jr.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|And thus a trend is foreshadowed]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (Gokin, 1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-69'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, two fists (left and right), head, cardboard trailer

:As one of the first ''[[Transform Jr]]'' toys, this version of Ultra Magnus was released under the early name for the series, ''Transform Gōkin''. Naturally, the figure is a redeco of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transform Jr|''Transform Jr'' Optimus Prime toy]], a smaller, simplified version of the original Generation 1 cab robot figure intended as a low-cost alternative for younger children. Magnus features a similar transformation to his larger toy, with a removable head in addition to fists, but lacks rubber tires and translucent windows. As with most other ''Transform Jr'' figures, he lacked most of his major accessories, coming only with a rifle (a white redeco of [[Ion blaster|Prime's gun]], rather than Magnus's own unique weapon) and a cardboard replacement for his trailer that had to be assembled by the buyer, and which unsurprisingly, could not form armor.

:Later, by the time the line had been rebranded with the more familiar ''Jr'' title, the Magnus figure was re-released in a two-pack with a [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Seven|vinyl figurine of]] [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]], which also came with a die-cast figurine of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]].

===Commemorative Series===
[[File:G1toy commemorative magnus.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|So the reissue was later reissued....''All right, give me the bomb''.]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (2002/2012)
**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, 2 trailer connectors/waist plates, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 large robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles

:Part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' of Generation 1 reissues, Ultra Magnus was released in the first series (Series I) and has proper functional missile launches for the first time in the Western Hemisphere, but this meant that, like all the other ''Commemorative Series'' toys with renewed firing projectiles, his formerly short missiles were infamously lengthened to absurdity [[for safety reasons]]. Additionally, like the ''Commemorative'' Optimus Prime toy, his smokestacks were shortened to prevent breakage.

:The figure was given a surprise re-release in late 2012, Though the "''Commemorative Series''" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name. The figure is largely similar to its previous ''Commemorative'' release. Despite early product listings by online stores depicting the figure with long smokestacks,<ref name="longstacks">[http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=19045 Premature announcement of long smokestacks for the 2012 Asia reissue of Commemorative Series Ultra Magnus] at TFormers</ref> the stacks are actually still short like on the previous release.<ref name="shortstacks">[http://vxt.ca/2013/01/05/transformers-reviews-commemorative-series-ultra-magnus-missile-modification-tutorial/ Review of the 2012 Asia reissue of Commemorative Series Ultra Magnus] at VTX (the long stacks seen in the photos are explicitly stated to be a custom job)</ref> The cab also has the modified hitch that the Optimus Prime cab received for the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#G1MoviePrime|2011 ''Chronicle'' DOTM two pack]]. In any case, [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]] is beginning to catch up to the tooling.

===Masterpiece===
[[File:Masterpiece UltraMagnus toy.jpg|right|upright=2.2|thumb|I looked like this in a comic [[Revelation (War and Peace)|once]]. ONCE!]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (2004/2005/2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-2'''
**''Accessories:'' Rifle, Megatron gun with removable silencer, scope and stock, Matrix of Leadership, energon axe

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Ultra Magnus is a white redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy (Optimus Prime) with all the same accessories, though some have been redecoed. Additionally, his box can be refolded into his classic trailer configuration, but doesn't hold up since it's, well, cardboard. He retains the Matrix, which he can indeed open. Dammit, open.

: As a [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] product, ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus was never released in the US, but was eventually released by Hasbro Australia in 2005 for their market as a Target exclusive, retaining his Japanese packaging, with simple stickers stating a recommended age of 8+, as well as presenting Hasbro Australia's details and explaining what the product was.

: Additionally, [[TakaraTomy]] reissued Masterpiece Ultra Magnus in 2008 sporting their logo in the top right-hand corner of the box to replace the Takara logo in the bottom right featured on the original release in 2004. This reissue has been met with some [[quality control]] issues much like that of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp4|Convoy Perfect Edition]], such as bad paint applications and chipping, misaligned doors, and even [[Misassembly|mis-assembled]] headlights which have been installed upside down.

: Like all the Japanese versions of this mold, Ultra Magnus features different images on his communicators than all other releases. In his case he features [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] and a digital readout.

: This mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' "[[Eldedroid#Masterpiece|Convoy Black Version]]".

*'''Ultra Magnus''' ([[2014]]-[[December 27|12-27]]/[[2018]]-[[January 27|01-27]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-22'''
**''Accessories:'' Super Blaster Gun, 2 missiles, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#MP22|Spike figure]], [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#MP22|Daniel figure]], left & right Matrix hands, neutral face, screaming face

: The second release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus is an all new, much more show-accurate mold, transforming into a car carrier with a functioning gate/ramp. He can carry 4 smaller ''Masterpiece'' Autobots in the top and bottom of his trailer, which features small indents to stop them from rolling off. While the cab in his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] is heavily modeled on the MP-10 Optimus Prime mold, it doesn't transform into a separate white Optimus Prime figure, but rather folds inside-out to form his upper torso. The cab is much lighter than the MP-10 cab (due to it being hollow), and neither can carry the other's trailer due to differences in the height of the back section and a different attachment process.

:He is designed to interact with the Matrix of Leadership of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in many ways: His chest opens to reveal a Matrix compartment, and he comes with an extra pair of hands specifically molded to hold the Matrix. To complement this, his regular, "neutral" face can be replaced with an alternative "screaming" face. Both faces can store on a panel in his back, and removing his face reveals a white face-plated design underneath the helmet, as a reference to the "White Optimus in armor" design of the original toy.

:For his other accessories and features, he comes with his gun, and his two non-firing shoulder missile launchers. The gun stores in the trailer in vehicle mode, while the launchers have removable missiles, and are no longer detachable, instead being connected to poseable armatures. Finally, he also comes with articulated figurines of Spike and Daniel, who can ride in his cab in vehicle mode.

[[File:MP-22 Ultra Magnus stock.jpg|right|1px]]
:The artwork on the spec card and instruction booklet are in a different style to other TakaraTomy ''Masterpiece'' releases. Also, early [[Stock photography|stock photo]]s depicted him [[:File:MP-22 Ultra Magnus stock.jpg|with red inner legs and a gray gun.]]

:If bought in Asian markets outside Japan, Ultra Magnus comes with a [[collector coin]]. The coin comes in a package designed after Ultra Magnus's chest, although the white "belt" is upside-down compared to the ''Masterpiece'' figure.

:In Australia, Ultra Magnus was a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]], being limited to 400 pieces. This release has a different box design (the same artwork as the instruction manual on the regular release) and instructions in English.

:This figure was reissued on [[January 27]], [[2018]].

:''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus was later redecoed as [[Delta Magnus#Masterpiece|Delta Magnus]].

===G-2===
[[File:G2toy-LaserUltraMagnus.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|Probably the only Magnus repaint of Prime we'll ever get who isn't just white.]]
*'''Laser Ultra Magnus''' (2006)
**''Japanese ID number:'' ''' TRF-13-S'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, sword, 5 discs, ripple missile launcher, 10 missiles, 1 foam missile, foam missile launcher air bellows

: An [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive, ''G-2'' Laser Ultra Magnus is a redeco of Laser Optimus Prime, transforming into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX extended-hood truck pulling a blue and white tanker trailer. He was packaged in the reissue Laser Optimus Prime's box, along with Prime's instructions, bio card, and sticker sheet. Yes, the stickers that have "Optimus Prime" written on them.

:In [[robot mode]], the bottom of the truck becomes a windowed chest based upon the original Optimus Prime toy (and the original Ultra Magnus's cab). His main gimmick is light-up LED headlights and a [[Light-piping|lightpipe]] in the bottom of his right fist, illuminated by an LED in his right forearm, that illuminates his clear sword or his double-barreled rifle if they are placed in that hand. All three LEDs are activated simultaneously by pressing the sunroof-like depression on the roof of the truck.

:The trailer unfolds to form a battle station bristling with many firing weapons. Primarily, these are an air-powered missile launcher, a ripple rocket launcher with 5 missiles that can be launched individually (This turret can also be mounted in Laser Magnus's hand) and a "disc launcher" that fires several white plastic discs. This disc launcher is the only weapon that can be used in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]].

:This release uses the toolings that were modified for the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Scourge (RID)#Robots in Disguise (2001)|Scourge]] toy, and thus has smooth discs and a less pointy sword. This mold was also planned to be used for the canceled ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)#Universe (2003)|Toxitron]] toy.

*'''Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp: Battle For Autobot City''' (Multi-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestack/laser cannons, Wind vane/blaster

: A [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime]], Ultra Magnus transforms into a modern cab-over style truck of made up model, dominated by a large wind vane on his roof. In robot mode, his wind vane transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barreled over-shoulder weapon. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

: He was released with [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Skywarp]] as part of the "Battle for Autobot City" set. He was also available in Woolworth stores throughout the United Kingdom.

: The final production toy has several major paint application differences compared to [[:File:ClassicsUltraMagnus toy.jpg|the toy depicted on the packaging]], including the loss of all light blue paint (including his faceplate and crest, both replaced with silver) and darker blue on his thighs. Also, his red eyes are replaced with blue light-piped eyes, and it seems the smokestacks/double-barreled gun were originally going to be cast or painted white instead of the final version's unpainted black.

===Titanium Series===
[[File:TitaniumHero UltraMagnus.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|Oh, that's right, this Ultra Magnus guy had a trailer or something, didn't he?]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, display stand, 2 rocket launchers

: ''Titanium Cybertron Heroes'' Ultra Magnus is an all-new sculpt constructed mostly of die-cast metal. For the first time, Ultra Magnus's cab and trailer are one piece, rather than a [[partformer]] like the Generation 1 toy version, although the cab is only held on by a peg and can be detached, resulting in a small, super-deformed cab. The toy's wheels can all spin. He transforms very similarly to the original toy, but the aforementioned truck cab now folds down into his back rather than detaching and reconnecting, with his head flipping out of the back of the cab.

: Ultra Magnus is armed with a gray laser rifle and two shoulder-mounted, non-firing rocket launchers which, due to some mistake, face top-down when attached in [[robot mode]]. It is unknown whether the launchers were somehow mirror-flipped in manufacture or if his shoulder assemblies [[Misassembly|were switched]]. The latter is perhaps supported by the orientation of molding detail shown in the [[instructions]] and on the Generation 1 toy, although the [[tampograph]]s could argue against this. One can easily "correct" this by unscrewing his blue forearms and swapping out the shoulders, allowing the launchers to face top-up.

: Unfortunately, due to the robot mode-oriented design of this figure, as well as size limitations, the rear ramp is now solely part of his legs as detail and cannot fold down, nor is there clearance space for any other vehicles to be transported. For some reason, on the side of each of Magnus's legs/ the back of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] trailer there are white flip-out wing shaped panels. The paint on these panels flakes off easily, so it's best never to touch them. Like most, if not all, 6-inch Titaniums, his joints are very floppy. His left shoulder on some copies is one of the loosest (if not ''the loosest'') ball joints on a Transformers figure ever. In another possible mis-assembly issue, the figure's knees bend far more ''forwards'' than backwards. Strangely, the molded detail on the tops of the thighs contradicts this being a mis-assembly. The vehicle mode also has a hard time staying as it should as very few pieces actually tab together.

:His chest panel can flip up to reveal a shallow recess for the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, though no Matrix accessory to date is actually flat enough to fit inside.

*'''(War Within) Ultra Magnus''' (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, display stand

: A [[redeco]] of the 6-inch War Within Optimus Prime, transforming into a Cybertronian truck mode used by Prime (but not Magnus) in "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]" comics. The original Prime figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: The word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his gun.

: As a ''[[Titanium Series]]'' figure, Magnus is made in large part from [[die-cast]] metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique, removable nameplate.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-01U'''

:An [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive redeco of ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Alternity|Convoy]], Ultra Magnus transforms into a white 1:32 scale Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm.

:The e-HOBBY version came packed with an [[Nissan GT-R / Ultra Magnus (Brilliant Pearl White)|exclusive comic book]]. A version available via Hasbro Asia is identical to the e-HOBBY version except it does not include the pack-in comic (like most e-HOBBY exclusives released outside of Japan).

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:This mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Alternity 2|Convoy Super Black]] and ''Alternity'' [[Dai Atlas (Zone)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]], and retooled to make [[Star Saber (Victory)#GT|GT-R Saber]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Megatron]], and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#GT|GT-R Maximus]].

:His name is misspelled "Ult'''''l'''''a Magnus" on his packaging. (Conversely, [[Dai Atlas (Zone)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]] from the same line is misspelled "Dai At'''''r'''''as".)

*'''Ultra Mammoth''' (Ultra Class, 2012)
**''TFSS1 number'': '''6'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Blue Bolts]] cannon, two Energy Bolts, two Thunderstrike missiles, [[Reconfiguration Matrix]]

: Representing the new body [[Ultra Magnus (G1)#Classics|Ultra Magnus]] used in ''[[Beast Wars Shattered Glass]]'', the Ultra Mammoth toy is a light blue and white redeco of ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1999 (Beast Wars Neo)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' [[Big Convoy]]. Like Big Convoy, Ultra Mammoth is a [[shellformer]], as practically all of his [[beast mode]] components are shells that fit around the compressed robot to form this mode. He technically has a beast "[[attack mode]]", in which his large cannon is folded out. His main body has a similar color scheme to Ultra Magnus's "Super Mode" (though with more white), and his head has the color scheme of regular Magnus.

: In [[robot mode]], Ultra Mammoth is absolutely chock-full of weapons and gimmicks. First and foremost, the spring-loaded Blue Bolts cannon, formed out of the beast's head, back, and tail, can fire two missiles from two barrels in succession with a rotating dial. It is held in his hands via [[5 mm post]] and can be stored on his back, though doing so may cause some stability problems owing to its weight. Second, his shoulders can be swung up to reveal sculpted, non-firing missile pods. Third, he has flip-out {{w|tonfa}} melee weapons in his forearms. Fourth, the two beast panels on the sides of his legs feature two spring-loaded missile launchers that fire his anchor-shaped projectiles, which can be loosely held in his hands. Last, but certainly not least, his chest panel flips down, revealing a removable Matrix toy accessory in vacuum-metalized sliver with a transparent blue center. This accessory can be held by any figure with standard 5mm fist holes.

: The anchor-shaped Thunderstrike missiles have been retooled since the previous two uses of this mold, presumably for safety reasons, and as a result can no longer be kept loaded in beast mode. The instructions refer to the space in his chest as a "[[Dead Matrix]] annex," but the Matrix within is referred to as the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] in packaging and was ultimately depicted by [[Beast Wars Shattered Glass|tie-in fiction]] as the [[Origin Matrix]].

: Ultra Mammoth is one of the first six [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] [[exclusive]] figures to be offered via the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|Figure Subscription Service]] in 2013.

: This mold was also used to make ''Beast Wars Neo'' [[Black Big Convoy]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Universe|Nemesis Prime]]. The Ultra Mammoth figure was also repurposed as a ''different'' guy ''also'' called [[Ultra Mammoth]].

{{note|The ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime: Beast Hunters]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as the ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' version of Ultra Magnus.}}

: Part of the third wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Voyager Class toys, Ultra Magnus is a retool/redeco of the ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)#Voyager|Optimus Prime]] toy. He lacks the smokestacks from previous versions of this mold, and his forearms sport the additional 5 mm post holes from the [[TakaraTomy]] [[Arms Micron]] release of Optimus Prime. His shoulders can be flipped down to be used as built-in pressure-firing [[missile]] launchers, and the missiles can store on clips on said shoulders.

:He comes with a larger-scale "Forge of Solus battle hammer", which features a 5mm handle. He also comes with a winged backpack that is similar in appearance to the one used by ''Beast Hunters'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#BHVoyager|Optimus Prime]]. Its wings each feature a clip for missile storage, and the backpack is stored in vehicle mode by mounting all three of its 5mm pegs onto the truck rear peg-holes. The backpack has a tab and peg-hole for storing the hammer in either mode.

:Most Ultra Magnus toys are [[Misassembly|misassembled]]: His leg panels have been swapped compared to his stock photography and to other uses of this mold. This is easily fixed by unscrewing the panels and swapping them. Additionally, his instructions and stock photography depict him with smokestacks that he doesn't have anymore. His instructions also include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 16|sixteenth chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series. The original TakaraTomy version of this mold was redecoed to make ''Prime'' AM-25 [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)#Prime|Nemesis Prime]].

**''Accessories'': Missile-launching rifle, missile, energy axe, cannon, left & right rocket pods, "Ultra Magnus" right forearm & fist

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

: Each "Battle Upgrade" figure comes with an extra part from a different character otherwise not appearing in the line: Optimus comes with Ultra Magnus's right left arm, which is a retooling of [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Bulkhead]]'s, removing the spring-loaded missile-launcher gimmick.

:And yes, his inclusion in this 1984-themed set is confusing, as Magnus did not appear in ''Transformers'' in any capacity until 1986.

While the deco partially follows previous redecos of Optimus Prime figures as Ultra Magnus's "inner robot", with a teal/blue [[mouthplate]], a teal/blue forehead crest [[paint operation]], red eyes and blue/teal windows, it also features several rather ''odd'' deco choices, namely extremely dark charcoal gray legs (to the point of nearly looking ''black'') and ''white'' wheels (though coincidentally based on his Transform Jr. toy).

:Ultra Magnus comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers". Since Ultra Magnus and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014) toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Ultra Magnus to be part of that line as well. The [[package art]] used for Ultra Magnus is hilariously inaccurate, as it is recolored from artwork originally created for the [[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|''Legends'' mobile game]], depicting Ultra Magnus's armored form ''colored as his inner robot''.

:The wave that contains Ultra Magnus has thus far been found at Fred's, Gordmans, Dollar General, and Family Dollar stores in the United States, but was available at general retail in Hong Kong and from Australian Target stores.

*'''Ultra Magnus''' (Leader Class, 2015)
**''Accessories:'' Two guns, [[Minimus Ambus]] figure

:''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Ultra Magnus is an all-new Leader Class mold, with a [[robot mode]] based on [[Nick Roche]]'s design for the character in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]'' and transforming into a truck and trailer. Although the truck and trailer cannot be seperated, they are connected by a pivot joint that still allows one to move independent of the other. He includes a small [[Minimus Ambus]], based on [[Alex Milne]]'s design for the character, that can be stored inside his chest in robot mode. In vehicle mode, the trailer-bed has a set of 3 notches that seemingly correspond with tabs on Minimus, however, it is a loose fit, and Minimus will detatch with a little shaking. Artist [[Andrew Griffith]] also worked with Hasbro on Minimus's toy design and "cockpit" within Magnus.<ref>[https://twitter.com/glovestudios/status/566697537730408449 Andrew Griffith on Twitter]</ref> Minimus is not necessary for transformation and Ultra Magnus can be completed without seating him in the cockpit.

:Ultra Magnus includes two [[5 mm post|5mm]] guns, which can be combined with his shoulder-mounted missile launchers to form a large hammer weapon, in homage to the character's [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|''Animated'']] and [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|''Prime'' incarnations]]. Note that in robot form, Ultra Magnus lacks 5mm holes in his hands for his guns; instead, his fingers open and close like the hands of Combiner class Combiner War toys. This means that he isn't able to strongly hold his guns, making them prone to falling out. The door sculpted into Ultra Magnus's cab suggests that it is intended to represent a positively ''gargantuan'' vehicle, with the trailer being perhaps seven stories tall if [[scale]]d to a human. Hasbro representatives at [[Toy Fair 2015]] said that his ladder sculpts were intended to match in scale similar ladder sculpts on ''Combiner Wars'' [[Devastator (G1)#Generations|Devastator]].

:Ultra Magnus comes with a character card based on his packaging art, which was drawn by [[Marcelo Matere]].

:The mold was also heavily retooled into ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Powermaster Optimus Prime]].

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', Ultra Magnus is a redeco of his ''Combiner Wars'' Leader Class toy, featuring some plastic color changes: The white plastic parts are now truly ''white'', compared to the more creamy color of the original version; also, several parts previously cast in blue plastic have been changed to white and vice versa, with some of them being (at least partially) painted over to restore the original color. The metallic blue color for the chest section and the forearm panels is not only visibly rather conspicuous compared to his unpainted blue parts, but also makes tabbing his arms together in truck mode considerably more difficult, due to the paintjob resulting in a thicker tab and smaller slot. Additional painted details include painted rims and a blue striping on his cab. He also retains his [[Minimus Ambus#Platinum Edition|Minimus Ambus]] figure, who is cast in the same white plastic as Ultra Magnus's white parts and features more light and dark green paint operations on his torso than the original release, both of which are considerably darker and more saturated than the original's lighter, "pearly" green paint operations.

:Ultra Magnus was released as part of 5-pack with [[Arcee (G1)/toys#AutobotHeroes|Arcee]], [[Springer (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Autobot Springer]], [[Kup (G1)/toys#AutobotHeroes|Sergeant Kup]], and [[Blurr (G1)/toys#AutobotHeroes|Blurr]]. The set also included a recreation of the theatrical poster for the 1986 movie. In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, but was only available via the company's website, never sold in stores. It was also released in Singapore, although it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not. In Canada, it was available via the Canadian [[Walmart]] website but never found in stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was available via [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and the website. In Spain, it was available via the Spanish subsidiaries of both [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés, supposedly also only available online. In Germany, it was available via retailer Real and specialty store Rappelkiste Ahlen, also only available online.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Leader Class figures, Ultra Magnus is a new mold that transforms from robot to a car carrier truck inspired by his ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|incarnation]] and back! The most notable feature of this toy is that the trailer transforms into the Magnus Armor and combines with the Voyager-sized inner robot to form the super robot mode, making this the first official mainline representation of the armor since Magnus's original toy back in 1986. Ultra Magnus also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. He includes five weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. His "RT-15 Stethoscopic Detector" is silver in painted samples at [[San Diego Comic-Con#2018|SDCC 2018]], Hasbro's stock renders, and [[stock photography]], while [[TakaraTomy]] stock photography (to the right) shows it in red with silver highlights. The final blaster is molded in red and painted silver, except for the grip which is left as bare red plastic. Though his two black blasters continue the ''Robots in Disguise'' Ultra Magnus homage, mirroring the detailing placed just behind that Magnus's cab, their hexagonal tips resemble that of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|Optimus Prime's]] Super Mode leg cannons, a comparison strengthened by the stock photos using the black blasters as leg mounted cannons.

:Although both the inner robot and Magnus armor have sideways ankle joints, the feet of the Magnus armor are molded to set the feet permanently at an angle, forcing Ultra Magnus' legs into an A-stance. While this doesn't hinder the robot mode to any great degree, it creates visibly slanted protrusions while in truck mode. Additionally, be sure the truck cab's upper half is moved as far forward as possible when transforming to truck mode, otherwise the connection between the truck cab and trailer will be placed under a great deal of strain once connected.

:The inner robot, while still resembling Optimus Prime in general appearance, is actually a different mold from ''Siege'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Optimus Prime]].

:This toy was redecoed into ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#NetflixToyline|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Ultra Magnus (below), and retooled and given new accessories to become ''Siege'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#S40|Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime]].

*'''Ultra Magnus''' ([[January 30]], [[2016]])
**''ID number:'' '''QTF-05'''

:''[[Q-Transformers]]'' Ultra Magnus is a retool of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Q-Transformers|QT-19 Convoy]] with a new head and arms/trailer, transforming from a [[super deformed]] car carrier with integrated trailer to a cute little robot. This toy was first available for sale at a special ''Q-Transformers'' event on [[January 16]]th, two weeks before it was released in stores.

:The original version of this mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Q-Transformers|Black Convoy]].

==Notes==
[[File:TrasformerSuperBuggy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The child custody battle was a long and painful process.]]
*The ''Diaclone'' toy that would become Magnus—called "Powered Convoy"—came in a couple different varieties. Aside from the version that was eventually turned into "Movie Preview" Magnus, there was a "chrome" version that used a lighter gray outer plastic and chromed the central body/lower ramps of the trailer unit. This version was also available in a multi-pack with a red version of the toy that would become [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Toys|Mirage]], and the toy that would (20-ish years later) become [[Deep Cover#Toys|Deep Cover]].

*All versions of the ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy toy came with a red "Powered Buggy" partner-robot that transformed from futuristic buggy (with a space for a Diaclone pilot) to robot and could also use the large rifle in either mode. Why this was excised from the ''Transformers'' incarnation is unknown. The Italian ''[[Trasformer]]'' line by [[GiG]], however, ''did'' release the vehicle as the "Super Buggy" on its own.

*White redecos of Optimus Prime toys that ''look'' like Ultra Magnus, but which surprisingly aren't, include ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#STTWhite|Convoy (White)]], ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sport Label]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#marine|Convoy featuring Nike Free 7.0 Marine Version]], and ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Music Label|Convoy —playing iPod speaker—]] (though it was actually made from the Ultra Magnus version of the mold), ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#BotShotPolarAssaultTeam|Polar Assault Team Optimus Prime]], ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)#TakaraTomy BeCool line|BeCool]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GarbageTruck|Garbage Truck (Clean Optimus)]], ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP711|Convoy (7-Eleven ver.)]], and ''au x Transformers'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#InfobarANNIN|INFOBAR Optimus Prime (ANNIN)]] .

{{disambig3|Lockdown}}
:''Lockdown is a [[Decepticon]] or [[Mercenary]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Drift2-Lockdown.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|"'Scuse me, I'm looking for a medic, yea tall, kinda old an' cranky? No? Well, whatever, I'll take the dude with the swords."]]
'''Lockdown''' will pay top dollar to get what he wants... so he can earn an even topper dollar! Like any good bounty hunter, he's all business and does whatever it takes to haul his bounty in. He runs a very tight ship and is straight to the point. So he's not afraid to tell his colleagues exactly what he thinks of them, for better or for ill.

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
When the infamous Decepticon [[Drift (G1)|Deadlock]] failed in a mutiny against his commander and deserted, [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] called on the bounty hunter Lockdown to find him and return him to the Decepticons. Lockdown, with the help of some slave traders, found Deadlock on [[Theophany|an unassuming planet]] where [[Circle of Light|a mysterious third, neutral faction]] had been in hiding for eons. {{storylink|Drift issue 2|Drift #2}}

[[File:Lockdown vs Drift Drift 4.jpg|thumb|left|upright=2.0]]
Lockdown explained to Deadlock that even though Deadlock's former boss, [[Turmoil]], wanted Deadlock dead, Megatron felt that Deadlock was too important to his plans to have him be destroyed. The slave traders had other ideas, and noted that there were other Transformer deserters somewhere on the planet, ones who must have partially rebuilt Deadlock. In exchange for helping find Deadlock, they demanded to be led to the hidden Transformers; if not, they would take Deadlock for their own purposes. Lockdown suggested that Deadlock lead the hidden Transformers into an ambush, and commented that Megatron's faith in Deadlock had best not be misplaced. However, when they met Deadlock at the arranged site, he had an army of Transformer deserters with him ready for a fight, plus he had been completely rebuilt and renamed himself "Drift". {{storylink|Drift issue 3|Drift #3}}

Lockdown was furious at Drift for abandoning the Decepticon cause, and scoffingly dismissed him as an "idealist" when Drift claimed he found something better to fight for. Their personal combat was interrupted when the lead Slaver killed Drift's mentor, [[Wing (G1)|Wing]], and Drift broke off to avenge his friend. After he killed the Slaver, and [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]] arrived with a fresh crowd of third faction warriors, Lockdown chose to depart in the face of overwhelming odds. {{storylink|Drift issue 4|Drift #4}}

[[File:Lockdown The Reluctant Specialist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right|Lockup?]]
At some point Lockdown was put in charge of a team of [[Titan Hunter]]s by Chief Justice [[Solomus|Tyrest]], who tasked them with hunting down and killing [[Titan (group)|Titans]] for their parts. In order to retrieve a Titan fragment, they boarded the ''[[Lost Light]]'' while the entire crew was paralyzed. ...the entire crew except [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailcutter]], that is. Though Trailcutter's forcefield powers were shorted out at the time, unbeknownst to the Decepticons, he bluffed Lockdown and his team off his ship with some creative use of its gravity generators and his [[magnawheels]]. {{storylink|The Reluctant Specialist}}

Some months later, Lockdown and his Titan Hunters confronted the crew of the ''Lost Light'' again when they found [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]], Tyrest's headquarters. {{storylink|Remain in Light 1 of 5: The Fecund Moon|The Fecund Moon}} [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]] led them on a merry chase across the moon and through the corpses of their titan victims, but Lockdown was eventually able to capture the intruders and bring them before Tyrest. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}} The Titan Hunters were later ordered by Tyrest to suppress the attacking [[Circle of Light]], who had escaped confinement thanks to [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Cyclonus]] and [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]]. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}} Once Tyrest was defeated, Lockdown and his crew fled Luna 1. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}}

===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 Lockdown.jpg|thumb|upright=0.5|right]]
Lockdown was among [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s forces who attacked an Autobot ship in an attempt to seize the [[AllSpark]], only to be knocked back into space by [[Heatwave (G1)|Heatwave]]'s water blasts. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

===''Cloud''===
[[File:Lockdown's Corpse.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|left]]
The Lockdown of [[Cloud World]] was a bounty hunter tasked with putting [[Drift (G1)#Cloud|Deadlock]] to heel and curbing his violent and murderous impulses; Deadlock didn't take kindly to his discipline. Later, somewhere and somewhen, Lockdown was killed by [[Grand Scourge]] in a massacre. His death impassioned Deadlock to hunt down Scourge so that he could kill him in revenge. {{storylink|Decepticon Jaeger Deadlock}}

===''Transformers: Legends''===
After the Decepticon Deadlock went MIA, Lockdown tracked him to an unfamiliar planet. Despite teaming up with some local hunters, Lockdown was sent packing by the Circle of Light. {{storylink|Circle of Light (Legends)|Circle of Light}}

Lockdown appears as one of the first unlockable characters. He is portrayed by Moustache Pig. He also appears as an [[Moustache Pig#As Energon Lockdown|Energon version]]. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers}}

===''Transformers: Earth Wars''===
[[File:Lockdown-Earth-Wars.jpg|thumb|250px|No swordsman either!? Fine. I'll "reap" the scientist instead.]]

Lockdown was on a mission from Megatron to eliminate [[Perceptor (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Perceptor]]. But without his rifle, as he wanted his "trophy" intact with minimal burns and shrapnel. Seeing that Perceptor was trying to escape through the Space Bridge, the Decepticons attempted to recall Lockdown to Earth so he could finish the job. But [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] kept coming through instead. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Feeding Frenzy}} They soon cleared out all the Sharkticons, but Lockdown wouldn't letting his trophy out of sight, his constant moving preventing the Decepticons from locking onto his position. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Working the Sharks Out}}

With the operation and the hunt at a close, Lockdown had Perceptor cornered. Shockwave prepared the Spacebridge to recall him as soon as Lockdown finished his contract, but the Spacebridge misheard Lockdown saying he was "Ready for transport". It re-calibrated transportation protocol and locked onto the wrong spark signature, recalling Perceptor instead.

Lockdown ended up in the Autobot's base, and was promptly taken prisoner aboard the Ark. He was trying to explain to Optimus his motives and his undying loyalty to the Decepticon cause (and money) when Megatron contacted Prime for demands. Because Starscream was using an open communications link, the Autobots were able to initiate a two-way matter transfer protocol remotely, And Perceptor was brought to safety, while Lockdown was sent through simultaneously to stabilize the stream. Megatron naturally blamed him for the embarrassment. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Target Locked}}

It was revealed that Megatron had Bludgeon to hire him, and when Lockdown arrived at the base he immediately demanded to know where the "bag of bolts" was. Megatron thought he was referring to him and was about to kill Lockdown, but Lockdown quickly said he meant the subject of his contract. He added that would fully cooperate and stay with Megatron's forces until the contract was complete. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars}}

{{note|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Lockdown was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Lockdown.}}

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Lockdown (ROTF)#Toys|Lockdown]]'s design is a strong homage to his [[Lockdown (Animated)|''Animated'' counterpart]]. Lockdown transforms into an amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar, with lots of spikes and a cow-catcher on his bumper. The toy's [[Mech Alive]] feature rotates cylinders inside his thighs as his lower legs rotate, and pneumatic cylinders extend as his Capture Hook is deployed.

:Lockdown may have the most articulated neck ever for a Transformer, having three ball joints and a swivel joint. Craziness.

:Similar to his ''Animated'' counterpart, Lockdown's arm-mounted hot rod engine weapon can be removed and can be replaced by ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Ratchet]]'s weapon. Likewise, Ratchet can store Lockdown's engine on his roof; it cannot, however, attach to his arm. Interestingly, the plug for Lockdown's engine is the same general shape as the plug for ''Animated'' Lockdown's EMP blaster/engine, but smaller; as such, it isn't compatible with ''Animated'' Lockdown, or with ''Animated'' [[Ratchet (Animated)#Toys|Ratchet]] or [[Ironhide (Animated)#Toys|Ironhide]], for that matter.

:This mold was retooled to make [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] [[Axor#Toys|Axor]].

'''When Optimus returns with old friends and dire warnings of a Cybertronian invasion of Earth, the Autobots must split up to defend their old home and their new one, with the Bee Team returning to Cybertron, while Optimus and his All-Stars stay behind to defend against the invasion's advanced force.'''
==Synopsis==
[[File:TRID S3 E25 EOME SC 1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Why did he leave?" "He was training a new generation of Jedi. One boy, an apprentice, turned against him, destroyed it all."]] The [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]], [[Russell Clay|Russell]], and [[Denny Clay|Denny]] are pinned down in the [[Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist|scrapyard]] as they are attacked by their own security system. [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] claims that this is no malfunction, but rather due to an outside source. Just as Fixit is about to be blasted, [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] manages to cut the power to the laser cannon. While they ponder what could have caused this, [[Prime Force One]] de-cloaks above the scrapyard. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] emerges, flanked by a team made up of [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], and [[Drift (RID)|Drift]]. Prime apologizes, explaining that the ship's damaged cloaking technology had been replaced with an experimental substitute built by Ratchet, which triggered the defense system. As the Bee Team welcome their friends back, they can't help but feel that Optimus owes them an explanation of his recent activities. Optimus agrees and asks the Bee Team to aid them in his mission: [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s liberation.

[[File:TRID S3 E25 EOME SC 2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?" "Yes." "The dark side, and the light."]]
Optimus explains that following Cybertron's post-war reconstruction, a new [[Autobot High Council]] took power and began to discourage interference with other worlds while blaming Optimus for Cybertron's destruction and warfare, along with any [[Autobot]] who ever stood with him. As a result, all his allies were blacklisted and left with low-level positions on Cybertron. Since then, Optimus had been gathering evidence and recruiting new 'bots to his cause. With Drift having obtained proof of the Council mind-controlling Cybertron's populace into supporting their goals, Optimus has the last piece he needs to expose them. As if on cue, multiple Autobot signatures are detected near [[Crown City]], signalling the start of the Council's final plan: a Cybertronian invasion of Earth.

In the High Council Chambers on Cybertron, [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]] holds a meeting of the Council, reviewing the details of their plan one final time in the face of their impending victory. [[Cyberwarp]] remains skeptical of the Council's violent methods, but she is alone in her dissent, the others silently concurring as Cyclonus seems almost gleeful at the idea of others suffering for their gain. He reminds Cyberwarp that she has been complicit in everything up until this point, and assures her that the ends will justify the means as long as she plays her part.

[[File:TRID S3 E25 EOME SC 3.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Wha- why? Why are you helping me?" "Because it's the right thing to do." "You need a pilot." "I need a pilot."]]
[[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] wants to take the fight to the invaders, but Optimus insists someone must return to Cybertron to free the population from their mind control. Because his team is too recognizable, Optimus sends the Bee Team to Cybertron while he and the others protect the Earth, with Bumblebee camouflaging himself to avoid recognition. As the Bee Team pilots Prime Force One back to Cybertron, Fixit detects an extra energy signature on board, with the stowaway revealing himself to be [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]. Having overheard Optimus's story while staking out the scrapyard, Steeljaw proposes an alliance until the High Council can be stopped, as their invasion clashes with his own goal of turning Earth into a [[Decepticon]] homeworld. Bumblebee refuses, placing [[stasis cuffs]] and a [[paralytic patch]] that prevents speech on Steeljaw, and orders the team to lock him up. On Earth, Optimus and his team follow a Cybertronian signal to an electronic parts warehouse and watch a Cybertronian covert craft emerge, suggesting the invaders are an advance party and not the main force. The team investigate the warehouse, which has been cleared out save for a Cybertronian tablet with a list of items to be collected. Optimus realizes they are trying to build a [[space bridge]] receiver, through which an entire invasion force could pass.

The Bee Team continue to debate whether Steeljaw should assist them on the mission, but are interrupted by Cybertronian drone defenses attacking the ship after a satellite temporarily disrupts their cloak. They attempt to defend themselves, but all except Bumblebee and Fixit are knocked out by a sudden blast. With Fixit busy piloting and drones firing from every direction, Bumblebee needs another bot to join him at the weapons console. Steeljaw volunteers, having freed himself in the commotion, and Bumblebee reluctantly agrees. Steeljaw proves to be an adept shooter, and the two manage to take out their attackers. Still unconvinced Steeljaw was acting out of anything but self-preservation, Bumblebee knocks him out and re-imprisons him. On Earth, Ratchet and Jazz deduce that all the space bridge activity since the Bee Team arrived on Earth has left millions of charged space bridge particles in the air, which the receiver could harness for power. Optimus notices a device generating the signal they had followed, and Windblade realizes it was a decoy meant to lure them, which she discovers is connected to a bomb. Before they can escape, the bomb explodes and destroys the warehouse.

[[File:TRID S3 E25 EOME SC 4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"All remaining systems will bow down to the First Order! And will remember this day as the last day of the Republic!"]]
On Cybertron, Prime Force One touches down near the High Council Chambers, and Steeljaw again insists the team will need his help due to his familiarity with the building and its subsonic defenses, which have been upgraded after the Council learned of Drift's intrusion. Though [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] is unconvinced, Bumblebee refuses to take any chances and agrees to bring Steeljaw. As they pass through [[Kaon Plaza]], they witness Cyberwarp spreading pro-council propaganda via giant holoprojections all over the city. A High Council trooper notices [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] and begins running a facial-recognition scan, forcing the team to drop their cover and make a break for the Council Building. They turn into an alleyway, only to be faced with innumerable troopers and drones surrounding them on all sides.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*A total of ''seventy'' Autobot profile images flash past as Optimus describes the 'bots who are blacklisted for associating with him. Each one has the character's name written on it in the "[[Cybertronian language#Notes|Decepticon Graffiti]]" font (though most are too small to translate), with a [[Tech Spec]]s bar graph across the bottom, both of which we have been able to use to identify everyone. You can view an itemized series of screenshots in our '''[[Enemy of My Enemy (RID)/cameo gallery|gallery]]'''; in addition to Optimus himself, they include:
**The cast of ''Robots in Disguise''—Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Grimlock, Fixit, Drift, [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]], [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]], Windblade, Jazz, Ratchet, Bulkhead, and [[Undertone]].
**The Autobots of ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' that did not return in ''Robots in Disguise''—[[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]], [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]], [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]], [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]], [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]], [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]], and even [[Seaspray (Prime)|Seaspray]] and [[Tailgate (Prime)|Tailgate]]!
**The complete complement of [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Rescue Bots]]—[[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], [[Chase (RB)|Chase]], [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], [[Boulder]], [[High Tide]], [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]], [[Salvage (RB)|Salvage]], and [[Quickshadow]].
**An original character named [[Tuneup]], a blue and grey 'bot with yellow accents. Character designer [[Walter Gatus]] noted in 2015 that "Tuneup" was an early name for Fixit, before the character was redesigned to become a Mini-Con;<ref>[https://twitter.com/Waltdog/status/576869119691096064 Walter Gatus on Twitter]</ref> perhaps this is our first look at that early character design!
**Many, ''many'' other new faces, most of whom have not appeared in animated or cartoon form in the [[Aligned continuity family]] before now! Barring one character, [[Ricochet (Adventure)|Ricochet]], they are all drawn from the first three seasons of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original Generation 1 cartoon]], including several non-toy original characters created for the series. In order of their appearance on-screen, they are: [[Sunstreaker (Pop-Up)|Sunstreaker]], [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]], [[Bluestreak (Prime)|Bluestreak]], [[Hound (Prime)|Hound]], [[Mirage (Prime)|Mirage]], [[Brawn (Prime)|Brawn]], [[Prowl (WFC)|Prowl]], [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]], [[Trailbreaker (Prime)|Trailbreaker]], [[Tracks (RID)|Tracks]], [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]], [[Gears (ROTDS)|Gears]], [[Moonracer (COP)|Moonracer]], [[Blaster (FOC)|Blaster]], [[Snarl (FOC)|Snarl]], [[Slug (FOC)|Slug]], [[Sandstorm (RID)|Sandstorm]], [[Kup (WFC)|Kup]], [[Rodimus (WFC)|Hot Rod]], [[Wreck-Gar (Prime)|Wreck-Gar]], [[Springer (WFC)|Springer]], [[Fallback (Prime)|Fallback]], [[Elita One (COP)|Elita One]], [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]], [[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]], [[Wheelie (RID)|Wheelie]], [[Firestar (Prime)|Firestar]], [[Pipes (RID)|Pipes]], [[Swerve (Prime)|Swerve]], [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]], [[Windcharger (ROTDS)|Windcharger]], [[Huffer (Prime)|Huffer]], [[Red Alert (RID 2015)|Red Alert]], [[Skids (RID)|Skids]], [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]], [[Grapple (RID)|Grapple]], Ricochet, and [[Inferno (Pop-Up)|Inferno]]. Of these 'bots, Tracks, Red Alert, Pipes, Skids, Wheelie, Sandstorm, and Grapple are making their first appearances in the [[Aligned continuity family]].
*We called it way back in "[[Decepticon Island (Part 1)]]", and we now get confirmation that Bumblebee's low status as a beat cop at the start of the series was due to the new Council's anti-Autobot attitude.
*Ratchet isn't shown to be partnered with Undertone anymore and though he is shown as one of the Autobots blacklisted for associating with Optimus, his fate is left unclear.
*Cliffjumper, Tailgate, Omega Supreme, Alpha Trion, and Seaspray all appear on the list of blacklisted Autobots despite the fact that they're, uh, all ''dead'', having perished long before the Council ever took power. However, the council may not have known they died, considering the large sums of casualties during the Great War.

*Besides all the new G1-inspired charcter designs shown when the profile images fly by, there are also some references in the characters we ''have'' seen in ''Prime'':
**Smokescreen and Alpha Trion are donning a new color scheme and body based off their [[Smokescreen (G1)|Generation 1]] [[Alpha Trion (G1)|counterparts]].
**In contrast to being an altered version of [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] as shown in ''Prime'', Tailgate is shown having a ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|MTMTE]]''-inspired body style his [[Tailgate (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]] employs. This could be an earlier version of his body.
**Arcee's appearance has been tweaked with some elements of her [[Arcee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], including helmet-hairbuns and shoulder-backpack kibble.
**Wheeljack is equipped with [[Wheeljack (G1)|a shoulder-mounted cannon]].

===Real-world references===
*[[Doctor McCoy|Ratchet is a medic, not an inventor]].

===Trivia===
*The episode's title refers to the ancient proverb, "{{w|The enemy of my enemy is my friend}}".
*Grimlock’s photo features his blue concept art visor, which he never used in the show.
*The models used by Cyberwarp and Skyjack are tweaked versions of Windblade's pre-earth model, though each had a unique chest.

Chuck (AB)

TransformersFan88: /* As Rodimus */

{{factions|autobird|wreckers}}
{{disambig3|Chuck}}
:''Chuck is an [[Autobird]] from the [[Angry Birds Transformers (mobile game)|Angry Birds Transformers]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Angry Birds Bumblebee Bird.png|thumb|250px|Come on, let's dance!]]

'''Chuck''' is the kind of bird who jumps into the fray first, and worries about the consequences later. Gung-ho, impatient, and overconfident, Chuck has often been the cause of [[Red (AB)|Red]]'s plans falling apart, despite his heart being in the right place. Unfortunately, Chuck's need to make up for his past screw-ups sends him hurling headlong into trouble, repeating the cycle all over again. To compensate, Chuck displays uncanny speed and sheer destructive potential, making him an asset to the [[Flock]] despite his personality flaws.

When upgraded by the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|EggSpark]], Chuck assumes the identity of '''[[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]] Bird''', '''[[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] Bird''', '''[[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] Bird''', and '''[[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] Bird''' In this new form, he displays a much more level-headed and responsible attitude... which honestly weirds out his teammates, who are unused to seeing him acting this way, especially Red....... His old mannerisms nonetheless still shine through when the situation becomes heated, proving that he's the same old Chuck despite his personality overhaul.

==Fiction==
===''Angry Birds'' comic===
[[File:ABTF1 Chuckcharges.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
After the [[Bad Piggies]] had stolen a batch of the Flock's eggs, Chuck accompanied his fellow birds on a raid to retrieve them. He managed to foul up [[Red (AB)|Red's]] attack plan by rushing the attack, and accidentally caused the Bad Piggies' building to collapse. The Flock got buried in rubble while [[King Pig]] and his minions escaped. After [[Bomb (AB)|Bomb]] managed to get them out of the debris, Chuck sheepishly apologized to the others for his screw up. While [[Red (AB)|Red]] reprimanded Chuck for his foolishness, the [[Blues]] flew off after the pigs on their own. The Flock began searching for the three little birds, though both [[Terence (AB)|Terence]] and Chuck saw the task as a waste of time. The Blues managed the find their way back on their own, and began blabbing about an "EggSpark" and "[[Deceptihog]]s." Seeing an opportunity to redeem himself for his earlier screw-up, Chuck once more rushed ahead of the group.
[[File:Angry Birds Transformers issue 1 Bumblebee and Grimlock.jpg|240px|thumb]]
Coming upon the EggSpark and the upgraded Bad Piggies, Chuck found his flight-path obstructed by [[Hal]]. Unable to slow down in time, Chuck bumped into the other bird, and sent the both of them hurling towards the EggSpark. Contact with the artifact transformed Chuck into Bumblebee Bird, while Hal became Grimlock Bird. Bumblebee Bird's new form gave him a new outlook on things, and despite being surrounded by Deceptihogs, attempted to talk his way out of the situation. Megatron Pig wouldn't hear it, and began blasting away at the two [[Autobird]]s. Grimlock Bird managed to chase off the Deceptihogs, though they still had the Flock's eggs in their possession. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}}

[[File:ABTF2 BumblebeeBird transforms.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.7]]
The rest of the Flock then caught up to Bumblebee Bird. Red quickly became frustrated with Bumblebee Bird's strange new demeanor, and demanded why his friend was acting so strangely. Bumblebee Bird admitted that he only vaguely remembered his existence before becoming an Autobird, but still argued that the best course of action would be for the other birds to acquire robot bodies as well. He pointed out that the Deceptihogs were now in possession of powerful weapons and armor. The only way to combat them would be for the Flock to undergo the transformation themselves. To drive the point home, Bumblebee Bird showed off his ability to become a really cool car. Ultimately, the rest of the Flock agreed to touch the EggSpark. Under Optimus Prime Bird's command, the lot of them transformed and rolled out into action.

[[File:ABTF3 BumblebeeBird fullbody.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
When the Autobirds caught up to the Deceptihogs, Bumblebee Bird's former brash persona once more came to the forefront. He was unable to stop himself from charging the pigs by himself. This once more proved to be foolish, as he was beaten down by [[Moustache Pig|Lockdown Pig]], and trampled by Megatron Pig. The clobbering he received damaged Bumblebee Bird's vocal processor, forcing him to communicate in beeps and squeaks from that point on. The rest of the Autobirds then joined in the fight, finding themselves evenly-matched against their opponents. The squabble was interrupted when the Flock's eggs, which had previously been exposed to the EggSpark, sprouted mechanical limbs, multiplied, and proved themselves to be excessively hostile. {{storylink|Age of Eggstinction!}}

The two factions joined forces against the newly arisen threat. Their truce was a shaky one, however, with Optimus Prime Bird and Megatron Pig soon arguing with one another on the battlefield. Bumblebee Bird agreed with Grimlock Bird that the argument was an entertaining one. Cooler heads eventually prevailed, and the birds/pigs alliance redoubled their efforts to drive the Eggbots back. Unfortunately, with the EggSpark still in contact with Piggy Island, the land itself was becoming increasingly unstable and dangerous. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fowlin'!}}

[[File:ABTF4BluesandChuckargue.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8]]
Bumblebee Bird and Heatwave Bird were the ones that came up with the solution to end the madness: simply separate the EggSpark from Piggy Island, halting the artifact's influence. Bumblebee Bird's part in the task ahead was to run interference against the Eggbots while the others made their way to the EggSpark. But the plan went awry when both [[Corporal Pig|Galvatron Pig]] and [[Minion Pig|Strscream Pig]] betrayed the group. The EggSpark was now in Starscream Pig's possession, who planed to use its power for his own selfish goals. Bumblebee Bird stepped in at that point, and using a giant slingshot, hurled both Starscream Pig and the EggSpark off-planet. Piggy Island and all of its inhabitants then returned to normalcy. As the Flock reflected on the day's events, Chuck claimed he had gained the coolest form, and that he had saved the day all by himself. The Blues disagreed. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

===''Angry Birds'' storybooks===
[[File:DHvsAB-Autobirdscharge.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Bumblebee Bird helped Optimus Prime Bird track down the Deceptihogs wherever they hid! Though he was once very competitive, after his transformation into an Autobird, Bumblebee Bird only wants to be liked. Nobody knows why he only speaks in radio instead of squawking. {{storylink|Robot Birds in Disguise}}

Soundwave Pig planned to smash Bumblebee Bird's car mode to pieces with a sonic weapon. Bumblebee Bird managed to avoid the attack by speeding away. Bumblebee Bird later participated in a great big clash against the Deceptihogs in the middle of a desert. He faced off against Lockdown Pig. The Autobirds came out victorious thanks to their superior cunning and strength! {{storylink|Deceptihogs Versus Autobirds}}
{{-}}

==Commercial appearances==
Chuck got turned into Bumblebee Bird by the power of the EggSpark. He readied himself to face off against the Deceptihogs, only to find himself surrounded by turrets, recently Cyberformed by the Eggbots. The Autobirds and Deceptihogs joined forces, and began blowing up the turrets before chasing away the Eggbots and driving off into the distance. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Angry Birds Transformers: Cinematic Trailer}}

Bumblebee Bird showed off his sweet dance moves and sharp-shooting skills to the sound of some techno music. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Chuck as Bumblebee}}

Bumblebee Bird faced off against a swarm of Flying Pigbots, barely dodging their rapid fire. As he looked around for an escape route he spotted... Heatwave Bird, relaxing in a hammock and nursing a pineapple drink. Bumblebee Bird asked for his help, but Heatwave Bird was uninterested... until a stray shot destroyed the little umbrella in his drink. Bumblebee Bird held his friend's drink as Heatwave Bird took out the pigs with a single blast of his cannon. {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Best Buddies}}

Heatwave Bird and Bumblebee Bird were driving along when... HEY! Someone recorded over the rest of this VHS tape with some game footage! {{storylink|Commercial#Angry Birds Transformers|Meet Bluestreak and Prowl!}}

====As Bumblebee====
*''Squad'': '''Rescue Bots'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': New Area (70 pigs)

Bumblebee Bird is the first character to be freed from his glass prison. In contrast to the balanced Optimus Prime Bird, Bumblebee Bird's more about speed than defense, and is easily one of the fastest characters in the game; in vehicle mode he can actually outrace [[Missile silo|missiles]], getting out of their range. Like Chuck in the classic ''Angry Birds'' game, his missiles can destroy wood blocks with ease, but weak against glass. However, upgrading his weapon will rectify that weakness.
Also unlike Optimus, he can only shoot six missiles at a time before having to reload, though this is as quick as the time between shots.

The Eggspark created another Bumblebee Bird in inverted stealth colors, which caused some tensions between him and the original. He has higher overall stats, especially in the speed department, and shoots his missiles very rapidly, but with longer reload. As a Variant Version character, he gets double coins from completed events, but gets nothing if he fails.

[[File:Rodimus-Bird.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*''Squad'': '''The Hotrods, The Wreckers'''
*''Mission Type'': '''Investigator'''
*''Unlock Type'': In-app purchase, Challenge Event Prize
Who would have thought that a Bumblebee would be redecoed as a Rodimus? As both [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] and Chuck are headstrong and impatient, they go quite well together! It took the Autobots a quite a while to find him because he's always moving.

Appropriately enough, his weapon shoots fireballs that burn targets over time, much more quickly than incendiary rounds. The flames spread quickly to wood and glass and breaks them, but does poorly against stone.

He was first available during the Black Friday sale in 2015, in the Fire Bundle which also contained 250,000 coins and 100 gems, at the low price of $3.99. (Among the other offers at that time were accessory bundles and discounted gems.) And for those who didn't want to ''buy'' a new character, almost a year later he and his accessories were available as a the main prize during the "You've Got the Touch" challenge event, also celebrating the 30th anniversary of [[The Transformers: The Movie]]. Codes to unlock Rodimus were also distributed by developer [[Exient]] at the TF Nation 2016 fan convention.

The energon version of Bumblebee fires three simultaneous bullets at varying angles. And of course, following the trend, he can collect energon cubes to heal himself, but is more susceptible to damage as a result. Yeah, not much to say.

A new (or old…?) version of Bumblebee with a Volkswagen Beetle vehicle mode, "in honor of [[Bumblebee (film)|his new movie]]." He fires one taser bullet at a time that looks similar to [[Moustache Pig#As Barricade|Barricade’s]] weapon, but this one makes blocks and pigs fly up and then fall back to demolish on the ground.

====As Cliffjumper====

*''Squad'': '''Specialists'''
*''Mission Type'': '''???'''
*''Unlock Type'': Challenge Event prize

Cliffjumper is one powerful warrior. His intimidating red paint and long sharp bull horns are very well known to scare off Deceptihogs easily, as well as his catchphrase: “Let me at ‘em!” And he is a Volkswagen Beetle in vehicle mode. Yeah. Anyways, Cliffjumper fires a salvo of missiles that fly to the target in a very wobbly way. And boy, are they destructive!

He was available in the event of the same name in October 2019, for the prize of 10000 Tokens.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s an alien angry bird-transformer hybrid with guns! [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] is Chuck’s newest incarnation in the game, and a real extraterrestrial one! Cosmos can reach velocities high enough to get him to space, where he often just looks around for any Eggbot activities, and most of the map nodes are actually there because that guy detected them! Way to go, Star-Lord!

His weapon is a single green or purple taser bullet that, similar to [[Chuck (AB)#As Classic Bumblebee|Classic Bumblebee’s]] weapon, rockets pigs and blocks up in the air. The only thing that really makes Cosmos’ weapon different from Classic Bumblebee’s, is that it doesn’t overheat. And if that weren’t enough already, this Autobird has a vehicle-mode-special-ability-thingy or whatever that’s called. Upon seeing Cosmos’ flying saucer form, the piggies will be baffled by this bizarre appearance and they’ll completely lose their aim for as long as that thing is flying around.

Cosmos was one of the 3 new characters added in the 2.0 update, along with [[Red (AB)|General Optimus Prime]] and [[King Pig|Lord Megatron]].

==Notes==
*[[wikia:angrybirds:Chuck|Chuck]] is one of the 'protagonists' of the ''{{w|Angry Birds}}'' franchise.
*[[Anri Katsu]] provides the voice of Chuck the Japanese dub of ''The Angry Birds Movie'' and its sequel.
* Chuck's design for Bumblebee is loosly based on [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee's]] design from the movies, primarily from [[Transformers (film)|the first movie]]. His High-Octane Bumblebee, on the other hand, is based on the undercover deco in [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]] and pretty much every [[Black Repaint]] of Bumblebee ever. His Classic Bumblebee takes inspiration from the [[Bumblebee (G1)|original G1 namesake]] like the VW Beetle vehicle mode and the small horns; but he's been released on [[Calendar|December]] [[2018]] [[Bumblebee (film)|so....]]
* Chuck-as-Cliffjumper continues the popular trend of a red repaint of Bumblebee, the Classic Bumblebee to be precise.
* Chuck-as-Cosmos gives him a similarity to the traditional Cosmos look, but he uses the same mannerisms as [[Silver]] (which surprisingly is Chuck's sister in the second movie. Go figure!)
