However, all of your recent edits have been reverted for being either misinformation or totally unnecessary. We don't need to clarify every time that a Decepticon is okay after a battle, nor was it ever stated that anyone broke out of prison at the end of RID. Please take more care in the future when adding new content. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 18:46, 15 January 2019 (EST)

Hey! I understand! But I had actually seen it in a recent tweet from Adam Beechen that they did break out!
:Care to link to that tweet? Because otherwise, all I have is your word to go on, and that's not enough. (Also, remember to sign your posts on talk pages with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:02, 15 January 2019 (EST)
<nowiki> Sure thing, Here this https://twitter.com/sonnova/status/1083403764751462400 </nowiki>
: Unfortunately, that's not good enough. Adam himself says in the tweet "they'll probably get out". That's not a firm "yes", that's an assumption, and can't be taken as fact. (And I meant sign with the four tildes inside the "nowiki" tags, not the tags themselves.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:14, 15 January 2019 (EST)

~~Well if he says it like that it's pretty much confirmed "I'm sure" is pretty definitive~~
:No, he really doesn't; it's a common turn of phrase not indicative of anything definitive. Besides, our primary source has always been the shows/comics/etc. themselves; authorial intent is generally a trivia section mention at best. (Four tildes. At the end. Of your post.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:20, 15 January 2019 (EST)

He did. I don't know why you just want to not see it but whatever. Just keep it your way.

'''The severely outnumbered Autobots on Decepticon Island desperately search for a way to stop Steeljaw and his army. Tensions between Bumblebee and Optimus could put the mission, and the entire world, at risk.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:TRID S2 E13 DIP2 SC 1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Alright, it’s time to redeem ourselves - through one final act of redemption.]]

The Autobots, having infiltrated the crashed ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'', are surrounded by Decepticons. [[Saberhorn]] and [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] bicker over the latter's leadership coup, and though [[Glowstrike]] is tempted to strike, the fact Steeljaw has two [[Decepticon Hunter]]s stops her. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] disagree on their next course of action, so [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] takes matters into her own hands, taking off as a distraction. The other Autobots make a run for it, but [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and Bumblebee are hit by fire from Steeljaw in the process. Though they escape, it's with the loss of Windblade and Bumblebee's [[Decepticon Hunter]].
As Windblade is carried away, Glowstrike picks up the lost Decepticon Hunter and prepares to take back leadership from Steeljaw, but she and Saberhorn are merely blasted by their betrayer who claims the weapon himself. But they where fine.

Bumblebee and Optimus again clash over the latter trying to take leadership from the former. The team splits up, with Drift and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] going to rescue Windblade; [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] trying to free the [[Mini-Con]] captives; and Bumblebee, Optimus and [[Toolbox]] continuing with the [[stasis bomb]] plan.

On shore, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] is determined to help the captive Mini-Cons. While [[Denny Clay|Denny]] and [[Russell Clay|Russell Clay]] are distracted readying disguises, he steals a boat and heads out towards the ''Alchemor''.

[[File:TRID S2 E13 DIP2 SC 2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Hurry up and blast him with all your strength before he has time to ''dodge!'']]

[[Overload (RID)|Overload]] is securing Windblade in a stasis pod when Drift and Ratchet burst in on him. A fight ensues and the Autobots are knocked into stasis pods, however Drift's Mini-Cons manage to detach and avoid being trapped as well.

Strongarm, Sideswipe and Grimlock stumble on a communications room, which they realize can be used to transmit a signal to deactivate the [[inhibitor collar]]s enslaving the Mini-Cons. Before they can do so, they're found by [[Groundpounder (RID)|Groundpounder]] and [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]] who engage them in battle.

Bumblebee's trio is making their way through the ship, though Bumblebee's irritation is boiling over and he and Optimus are forced to talk out their problem, with Bumblebee managing to persuade Optimus to let him lead. They reach the ventilation hub and start planting the cryo bomb but are interrupted by Steeljaw. The Decepticon combines his Decepticon Hunters, granting himself tremendous power.

[[File:TRID S2 E13 DIP2 SC 3.jpg|thumb|left|250px|RIDER KICK!]]

Fixit sneaks through the ''Alchemor'' until he stumbles on his enslaved fellow Mini-Cons. When one of the slaves collapses and it appears that a Decepticon is about to terminate, Fixit steps in to block his shot.

Jetstorm and Slipstream manage to free Ratchet and Windblade who successfully take out Overload shortly before Drift is freed. They head for the rendezvous.

Meanwhile Strongarm's team is having trouble against Groundpounder and Thunderhoof. Strongarm manages to kick Sideswipe over to the communication controls, and he sets up a signal which incapacitates the two Decepticons. He then sets the console to deactivate the inhibitor collars, allowing Fixit and his newly-freed Mini-Con pals overcome the Decepticon guards.

[[File:TRID S2 E13 DIP2 SC 4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''Optimus crossing the Delaware'', oil on canvas.]]

Bumblebee and Optimus struggle with the supercharged Steeljaw, however a mayday from Toolbox has Fixit's group come to their aid. While the Mini-Cons keep Steeljaw busy, Bumblebee attempts to complete the bomb, and Optimus helps out after Steeljaw overcomes the Mini-Cons. The bomb is soon complete, but they need to find some way to keep Steeljaw on the island so he'll be affected when it goes off. As the three larger bots clash, the Mini-Cons manage to deprive Steeljaw of his weapon, which Bumblebee promptly takes possession of. He uses it to trap Steeljaw in the floor. The Autobots speed back to the boats and manage to get clear before the bomb goes off. Fixit reports the Decepticons on board the ship are now all in stasis.

In the aftermath, Toolbox announces that he and the other Mini-Cons will complete repairs to the ''Alchemor'' and use it to take the Decepticons back to Cybertron. Windblade and Ratchet intend to accompany them, and Optimus intends to go as well, so he can investigate the new ruling body. After watching the boat leave, Bumblebee tells the rest of the team that it's time to establish a permanent base on Earth, and they all head back to the scrapyard.

"Imagine that. A Decepticon turning out to be less than trustworthy."
:—'''Steeljaw'''

"I'm surprised you're not freaked out since it was your new bestie the Decepticons took prisoner." 
"I am worried about Windblade, but I'm trying not to lose my cool. If they captured ''you'' on the other hand, I'd definitely be a basket case."
:—'''Sideswipe''' and '''Strongarm'''

"It ain't who wins the most fights, just who wins the last one!"
:—'''Thunderhoof''' dispenses a beatdown.

"I feel like I could take down all the Primes together! What chance do '''''YOU''''' have?!"
:—'''Steeljaw''' channels his inner [[Furmanism|Furman]].

"Kick me a little hard, huh" 
"Sorry, I've wanted to do that since I met you." 
:—No really, '''Strongarm''', tell us how you really feel about '''Sideswipe'''.

"This isn't over! I will tear you to ribbons, '''''BUMBLEBEE!!!'''''"
:—'''Steeljaw''' officially becomes Bumblebee's arch-nemesis.

[[Overload (RID)|Overload]] is securing Windblade in a stasis pod when Drift and Ratchet burst in on him. A fight ensues and the Autobots are knocked into stasis pods, however Drift's Mini-Cons manage to detach and avoid being trapped as well.

Strongarm, Sideswipe and Grimlock stumble on a communications room, which they realize can be used to transmit a signal to deactivate the [[inhibitor collar]]s enslaving the Mini-Cons. Before they can do so, they're found by [[Groundpounder (RID)|Groundpounder]] and [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]] who engage them in battle.

Bumblebee's trio is making their way through the ship, though Bumblebee's irritation is boiling over and he and Optimus are forced to talk out their problem, with Bumblebee managing to persuade Optimus to let him lead. They reach the ventilation hub and start planting the cryo bomb but are interrupted by Steeljaw. The Decepticon combines his Decepticon Hunters, granting himself tremendous power.

[[File:TRID S2 E13 DIP2 SC 3.jpg|thumb|left|250px|RIDER KICK!]]

Fixit sneaks through the ''Alchemor'' until he stumbles on his enslaved fellow Mini-Cons. When one of the slaves collapses and it appears that a Decepticon is about to terminate, Fixit steps in to block his shot.

Jetstorm and Slipstream manage to free Ratchet and Windblade who successfully take out Overload shortly before Drift is freed. They head for the rendezvous.

Meanwhile Strongarm's team is having trouble against Groundpounder and Thunderhoof. Strongarm manages to kick Sideswipe over to the communication controls, and he sets up a signal which incapacitates the two Decepticons. He then sets the console to deactivate the inhibitor collars, allowing Fixit and his newly-freed Mini-Con pals overcome the Decepticon guards.

[[File:TRID S2 E13 DIP2 SC 4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''Optimus crossing the Delaware'', oil on canvas.]]

Bumblebee and Optimus struggle with the supercharged Steeljaw, however a mayday from Toolbox has Fixit's group come to their aid. While the Mini-Cons keep Steeljaw busy, Bumblebee attempts to complete the bomb, and Optimus helps out after Steeljaw overcomes the Mini-Cons. The bomb is soon complete, but they need to find some way to keep Steeljaw on the island so he'll be affected when it goes off. As the three larger bots clash, the Mini-Cons manage to deprive Steeljaw of his weapon, which Bumblebee promptly takes possession of. He uses it to trap Steeljaw in the floor. The Autobots speed back to the boats and manage to get clear before the bomb goes off. Fixit reports the Decepticons on board the ship are now all in stasis.

In the aftermath, Toolbox announces that he and the other Mini-Cons will complete repairs to the ''Alchemor'' and use it to take the Decepticons back to Cybertron. Windblade and Ratchet intend to accompany them, and Optimus intends to go as well, so he can investigate the new ruling body. After watching the boat leave, Bumblebee tells the rest of the team that it's time to establish a permanent base on Earth, and they all head back to the scrapyard.

"Imagine that. A Decepticon turning out to be less than trustworthy."
:—'''Steeljaw'''

"I'm surprised you're not freaked out since it was your new bestie the Decepticons took prisoner." 
"I am worried about Windblade, but I'm trying not to lose my cool. If they captured ''you'' on the other hand, I'd definitely be a basket case."
:—'''Sideswipe''' and '''Strongarm'''

"It ain't who wins the most fights, just who wins the last one!"
:—'''Thunderhoof''' dispenses a beatdown.

"I feel like I could take down all the Primes together! What chance do '''''YOU''''' have?!"
:—'''Steeljaw''' channels his inner [[Furmanism|Furman]].

:—No really, '''Strongarm''', tell us how you really feel about '''Sideswipe'''.

"This isn't over! I will tear you to ribbons, '''''BUMBLEBEE!!!'''''"
:—'''Steeljaw''' officially becomes Bumblebee's arch-nemesis.

[[File:Swelter RID 2015 model sheet.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''I'm Mr. Green Christmas, I'm Mr. Sun'' ''I'm Mr. Heat Blister, I'm Mr. 101!'']]

Cranky and pessimistic, '''Swelter''' isn't exactly pleasant company, unless you happen to be his best friend [[Glacius]]. Swelter's bad attitude and penchant for violence means that he's right at home in the Decepticon ranks, and his flame-throwing weaponry- capable of melting even solid metal- allows him to torch any Autobots who get in his way. In the past, this rowdy duo hired themselves out to various Decepticons, but these days the only thing that keeps them in line is their mutual fear of their new master [[Razorpaw]].

[[File:TRID_E_31_Swelter_Robot_Mode.jpg|left|thumb|250px|''They call me Heat Miser; whatever I touch'' ''starts to melt in my clutch!'']]
Swelter and Glacius regularly teamed up with Decepticons. They were imprisoned on the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' only to be freed when the ship crashed on [[Earth]]. There they teamed up with [[Razorpaw]], despite the fact he treated them poorly. When [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s team appeared on the hunt for Razorpaw, they attacked the former Autobot leader and even defeated [[Drift (RID)|Drift]]'s Mini-Cons [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]], but retreated when faced by the other Autobots. They brought the team of trackers to Razorpaw's attention, and accompanied him as he followed them to a military base where the pair succeeded in trapping Drift and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] in a metal cocoon. They followed that up by taking out Optimus himself, but it turned out Optimus had been feigning, and while the pair argued with Razorpaw, Optimus fought the trio. {{storylink|Cover Me}}

Swelter's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. Where he would later along with other Decepticons get out of prison. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

*'''Mini-Con 4-Pack''' (2016)

: This version of Swelter, dubbed "Blizzard Strike Swelter", is an ice-themed redeco of the fire-themed Mini-Con. Okiedokie. He transforms into a Cybertronian torpedo with a mostly-one-step [[autotransformation]]. As a torpedo-style Mini-Con, he can attach to and launch from the [[Fracture (RID)#Deployer|Deployer Fracture toy]].

: This four-pack also comes with [[Backtrack (RID)#4pack|Blizzard Strike Backtrack]], [[Beastbox (RID)#4pack|Scorch Strike Beastbox]], and [[Undertone#4pack|Scorch Strike Undertone]]. It was also the first Mini-Con release for ''Robots in Disguise''<nowiki>'</nowiki> 2016 product, so three of its "mission redeco" figures hit shelves before the characters' "normal" versions were available.

:While he shares engineering with fellow Decepticon Mini-Con [[Divebomb (RID)#Toys|Divebomb]], he is a completely new mold.

:This mold was also [[redeco]]ed into [[Glacius]].

**''Accessories'': Armor sprue (chest armor, battle mask, left & right flamethrowers, 2 nozzles, 2 flame-effects)

: Part of the third wave of single-packed Mini-Cons, Swelter's individual release puts him in his original fire-themed coloration. This time around he comes with a Deception-sigil-shaped sprue that he can attach to, which has a number of clear plastic armor pieces that can be attached to him in both robot and torpedo modes (and of course work with his prior "Blizzard Strike" version).

: This wave was largely skipped by larger brick-and-mortar stores in the US, but began to filter out through discount chains like Marshalls and Five Below by the 2016 holiday season.

*'''Mini-Con Mega Pack''' (2016)

: This version of Swelter, available in a massive fifteen-pack of Mini-Cons released exclusively in some Asian and European markets, has the front surfaces of his arms painted yellow (a rare non-silver paint addition for this set).

: All of the Mini-Cons in this set have similar minor deco differences from their individual releases, and all lack armor parts. This set also includes [[Anvil (RID)#MegaPack|Anvil]], [[Back#MegaPack|Back]], [[Bashbreaker#MegaPack|Bashbreaker]], [[Beastbox (RID)#MegaPack|Beastbox]], [[Divebomb (RID)#MegaPack|Divebomb]], [[Hammer (RID)#MegaPack|Hammer]], [[Lord Doomitron#MegaPack|Lord Doomitron]], [[Ratbat (WFC)#MegaPack|Ratbat]], [[Sandsting#MegaPack|Sandsting]], [[Sawback#MegaPack|Sawback]], [[Tricerashot#MegaPack|Tricerashot]], [[Undertone#MegaPack|Undertone]], [[Velocirazor#MegaPack|Velocirazor]], and [[Windstrike#MegaPack|Windstrike]].

'''Glacius''' is slightly more reasonable and upbeat than his buddy [[Swelter]], although that's not saying all that much. This Mini-Con uses his icy blasts to freeze his enemies solid; when combined with Swelter's (literal) firepower the duo can melt and re-freeze metal to trap their enemies. Although both Mini-Cons hired themselves out to various Decepticons back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], they've fallen in with [[Razorpaw]] since arriving on [[Earth]], a less-than-ideal partnership. This newfound fear of their master is pretty much the only thing keeping both Mini-Cons from going their own way.

'''Windblade is concerned about Optimus' well being, but doing so puts the Away Team at risk as they battle Razorpaw.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:CoverMe Swelter Glacius conquer Prime.jpg|thumb|left|250px|We found him like this, honest!]]
As the Autobots drive through the desert in new brown camo color schemes, [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] irritates the others by recounting a story of how he tricked [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] into thinking he could time travel. [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] complains about his inability to remain quiet, but is alarmed when [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] stumbles. Though he claims to be alright, a short time later a couple of [[Mini-Con]]s jump out of a nearby bush and proceed to knock him down with their ice and fire powers. Though Windblade's ready to step in, [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] sends [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] to deal with the pair, holding her back as the fight will test his students. Unfortunately the two students are overcome by their opponents, so the larger Autobots move in, at which point their opponents disappear in a flash of light. Optimus contacts [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] who is able to identify them as [[Swelter]] and [[Glacius]], but can't find a record of the [[Razorpaw]] that the pair mentioned.

[[File:CoverMe Windblade's finest hour.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Can I keep it?]]
The Autobots move out to continue their search and Optimus soon detects a signal ahead. The Autobots suggest Optimus to hang back as he seems weakened, but he intends to face the Decepticon with the rest of the team. Windblade talks with Drift and Sideswipe, who believe Prime knows what he's doing. She resolves to protect Optimus herself. As they split up to search, Windblade starts attacking nearby suspicious bushes. When one bush seems particularly active, she pushes Optimus down, only to discover the hidden danger within the bush is actually a woodchuck. The creature attacks her, sending her off a cliff and into a swiftly-flowing river. Sideswipe gives chase and, after one attempt to rescue her fails, manages to grab her just short of a massive waterfall. Despite limping from an injured leg, Windblade is still determined to protect Optimus. The Autobots are unaware they're being spied on from afar by Swelter and Glacius, who have brought them to the attention of Razorpaw himself.

[[File:CoverMe Windblade versus Razorpaw.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"Good effort, but I'm the Patty-cake champion." "...What?"]]
Optimus's team finds a deserted army base full of military vehicles. On finding a hangar which has clearly been broken into, Optimus splits them into two teams — one to go in and check it out, and the other to check the immediate area. Windblade successfully argues she should be on the latter team so she can accompany Optimus. A short time after entering the hangar, Sideswipe and Drift are attacked by Swelter and Glacius who trap them in a cocoon of metal. Though disgruntled at their treatment by Razorpaw, the two Mini-Cons head outside to help their companion. Optimus and Windblade hear the noise from the hangar, but are interrupted by Razorpaw. Windblade throws Optimus aside to tackle Razorpaw herself, however Razorpaw reveals that contrary to what she thinks: he is after her, not Optimus. Swelter and Glacius join the battle, occupying Optimus long enough for Razorpaw to drain some of Windblade's energon reserves. Razorpaw moves in on Optimus, but the two Mini-Cons start bickering with him. Optimus, who has been feigning defeat, takes the opportunity to fight the three Decepticons, knocking out Razorpaw and hitting Swelter and Glacius between two jeeps. Who where all fine.

After Optimus helps Windblade up, the pair enter the hangar and start freeing Sideswipe and Drift, though Drift says there's no hurry as Sideswipe has finally been forced to shut up.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* According to Fixit's map, the away team has made it to the American southwest. Guess the long trip from the polar regions (the last time we saw them) was pretty uneventful, given his remarks about how long it's been since they last checked in!
* This is the second instance in the series of an Earth-bound Decepticon missing from the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' prisoner manifest, the first being [[Saberhorn]] two episodes ago. What's going on? We don't know yet!

===Trivia===
* Windblade's inability to free herself from the river is... questionable. In "[[Overloaded, Part 2]]" she was able to fly underwater, though she ''was'' "flying" in a relatively calm ocean there, rather than a raging river. She's shown limping earlier in this episode, which might imply damage to one of her thrusters, but such damage is never stated.

Resembling a puma, this [[Decepticon]] stalks Cybertronians from afar and lets his [[Mini-Con]] companions [[Swelter]] and [[Glacius]] do all the hard work for him to separate the weak from the strong as he conserves his own energy. Then he siphons Energon from his prey, leaving little to nothing for his companions.

One of the many Decepticons on [[Earth]], Razorpaw teamed up with [[Swelter]] and [[Glacius]]. Hanging out in a desert region, Razorpaw was alerted to a group of Autobots hunting for them, and set his sights on capturing the weakest of the team. He and his Mini-Cons followed them to a nearby military base, where Razorpaw pounced on Windblade. Aided by the fact that she thought he was actually after Optimus, Razorpaw was able to drain her energy. The Mini-Cons took out Optimus, and Razorpaw moved in, only to get in an argument with Swelter and Glacius over his lack of appreciation for their work. Optimus, who had been feigning, took the opportunity to attack out Razorpaw and his companions. {{storylink|Cover Me}}

Razorpaw's stasis pod was later taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. Where he would later along with other Decepticons get out of prison {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

Cranky and pessimistic, '''Swelter''' isn't exactly pleasant company, unless you happen to be his best friend [[Glacius]]. Swelter's bad attitude and penchant for violence means that he's right at home in the Decepticon ranks, and his flame-throwing weaponry- capable of melting even solid metal- allows him to torch any Autobots who get in his way. In the past, this rowdy duo hired themselves out to various Decepticons, but these days the only thing that keeps them in line is their mutual fear of their new master [[Razorpaw]].

Swelter and Glacius regularly teamed up with Decepticons. They were imprisoned on the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' only to be freed when the ship crashed on [[Earth]]. There they teamed up with [[Razorpaw]], despite the fact he treated them poorly.

They brought the team of trackers to Razorpaw's attention, and accompanied him as he followed them to a military base where the pair succeeded in trapping Drift and [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] in a metal cocoon.

*'''Mini-Con 4-Pack''' (2016)

: This version of Swelter, dubbed "Blizzard Strike Swelter", is an ice-themed redeco of the fire-themed Mini-Con. Okiedokie. He transforms into a Cybertronian torpedo with a mostly-one-step [[autotransformation]]. As a torpedo-style Mini-Con, he can attach to and launch from the [[Fracture (RID)#Deployer|Deployer Fracture toy]].

: This four-pack also comes with [[Backtrack (RID)#4pack|Blizzard Strike Backtrack]], [[Beastbox (RID)#4pack|Scorch Strike Beastbox]], and [[Undertone#4pack|Scorch Strike Undertone]]. It was also the first Mini-Con release for ''Robots in Disguise''<nowiki>'</nowiki> 2016 product, so three of its "mission redeco" figures hit shelves before the characters' "normal" versions were available.

[[File:RID Glowstrike model sheet.jpg|thumb|250px|"Hello. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Glowstrike. And we're a travelling improv group."]]

Some [[Decepticon]] leaders are bloodthirsty tyrants, others are ambitious schemers, but '''Glowstrike''' doesn't fall into either category. Cold and aloof, Glowstrike runs her platoon of Decepticons stringently and efficiently. She prefers to delegate her work to her underlings, whom she holds to very high standards. They'll finish their mission to the best of their ability... or they won't return at all. That said, those that ''do'' distinguish themselves in the field will be rewarded with a well-deserved promotions, as [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] can attest.

For those less-inclined Decepticons, Glowstrike isn't above using threats if the situation calls for it. Her ability to fire bolts of energy from her palms is always a great motivator. Even so, she's found herself largely displeased with the mismatched mob of Decepticon castaways stranded on [[Earth]].

[[File:MetalMeltdown Glowstrike.jpg|thumb|left|"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm usually far more composed. I'm just a little bit ABSOLUTELY LIVID."]]

Glowstrike was one of the prisoners aboard the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' and was freed from stasis when ship crash-landed on [[Earth]]. She, [[Saberhorn]], and [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]] staged a revolt against their [[Mini-Con]] prison wardens, enslaving them and forcing to rebuild their half of the ship. Glowstrike planned to rebuild the ship to get them offworld; {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} while the Mini-Cons labored to rebuild the ship, {{storylink|Portals}} she and her new underlings started gathering materials.

She was left disappointed with the performances of [[Saberhorn]] and [[Kickback (RID)|Kickback]], even shooting at the latter, but was shortly afterwards introduced to [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}} After Steeljaw sprang a slew of ''Alchemor'' escapees from [[Denny Clay]]'s scrapyard, a pleased Glowstrike inspected the new recruits. She was impressed with ([[Clampdown (RID)|almost]]) all of them. Scorponok was captured in the prison break, but thanks to Steeljaw's manipulation Glowstrike assumed that her Decepticon comrade had turned traitor. {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:TRID E 36 Glowstrike Insect Mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ladybug, Ladybug fly away.]]
Returning from a mission with Saberhorn, Glowstrike congratulated Steeljaw on his recent victories. As a reward, she offered him a position in her growing command hierarchy. To prove his loyalty, she had him attack a [[Sharkticon (RID)|Sharkticon]], who had apparently been planning against her. Convinced that Steeljaw would serve her well, she instructed him to find a way to access the [[Decepticon Hunter]]s located in the ship's locked armory. {{storylink|Portals}}

Steeljaw managed to access the Decepticon Hunters, but used them to stage a coup against Glowstrike and Saberhorn. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} They were paraded in front of the [[Autobot]]s when [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team led a raid on the crashed ship, and although Glowstrike tried to fight back with a discarded Decepticon Hunter, Steeljaw effortlessly disarmed her by shooting her, and Saberhorn, with his two Decepticon Hunters. Glowstrike and Saberhorn were frozen after the Autobots detonated a [[stasis bomb]] in the ship's ventilation system, along with the other Decepticons and then taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]].

'''Saberhorn''' used to be a pirate, roaming the spacelanes and plundering cargo vessels. A gentleman swordsbot, he cuts a dashing figure as he uses his swords and swift footwork to make short work of his foes. Also, his alternate mode is a robotic rhinoceros beetle, he is a part of the leadership trio of Decepticons on the crashed ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'', and can sometimes combine with [[Bisk (RID)|Bisk]] to form [[Saberclaw]].

[[File:TRID E 36 Saberhorn Beetle Mode.jpg|thumb|left|250px|You have me at a disadvantage. I forgot my giant fly swatter.]]
Saberhorn was a captive aboard the ''Alchemor'' when it crashed on [[Earth]], although he wasn't on [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]]'s prisoner manifest for reasons unknown. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}} Freed during the impact, he took leadership of the civilization of Decepticons, alongside [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]] and [[Glowstrike]], {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} and was sent out to obtain [[thermatanium]]. He was collecting some from a quarry near [[Crown City]] when he encountered [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] but was able to make off with a collection of ore. He took it to a steel mill to smelt it, and was again found by the Autobots. He seized [[Russell Clay]] as a hostage and almost succeeded in melting down Bumblebee, but was forced to flee after Grimlock grabbed him. He returned to the starship wreck where his bosses were unimpressed with his antics. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}}

Saberhorn was in attendance after [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] returned to the base with a group of recently freed ''Alchemor'' escapees for [[Glowstrike]]'s consideration, reflecting fondly on Steeljaw's potential. {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:TRID E 36 Saberhorn Robot Mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"As you can clearly see, this ghost was freed entirely by chance."]]
When Steeljaw was talking to his troops about the chain of command, Saberhorn and Glowstrike arrived to have a word with him. Steeljaw assumed that they were onto his betrayal and prepared to annihilate them, but was instead shocked to learn that they were offering him a leadership position. As a display of his power and loyalty, Saberhorn, Glowstrike, and Steeljaw dealt with a suspected terrorist amongst their ranks. Their conversation with Steeljaw ended when they walked into a weapons room and Glowstrike mentioned that there was a pod of Deception hunters that they needed help opening. {{storylink|Portals}}

Saberhorn and Glowstrike didn't take lightly to being summoned by Steeljaw, but they were more than impressed when he opened the weapons container. Saberhorn then asked Steeljaw to hand them over, but instead, Steeljaw turned his new-found weapons on Saberhorn and Glowstrike. During their later confrontation against the Autobots, Saberhorn and Glowstrike bowed to Steeljaw as he claimed the ''Alchemor'' to be the first outpost of his new empire. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}}

Saberhorn accused Steeljaw of stealing the island after he was kindly accepted to be one of their own, but Steeljaw countered by sardonically stating that deceit was part of the Decepticon way. After their skirmish with the Autobots, resulting in [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]]'s capture, Glowstrike held Bumblebee's dropped Decepticon Hunter against Steeljaw, but Steeljaw reacted quickly by shooting down both Saberhorn and Glowstrike. Saberhorn was most likely re-frozen after the Autobots detonated a [[stasis bomb]] in the ship's ventilation system, along with the other Decepticons, and taken back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], Windblade and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]].

*'''Saberhorn / Bisk''' (Crash Combiner, 2018)

:Part of the fourth and final wave of the ''[[Combiner Force]]'' [[Crash Combiner]]s subline, Saberhorn is a roughly Scout-class sized figure that changes from his Cybertronic rhinoceros beetle into a robot in 7 steps, deviating from the other Crash Combiners' simplified transformations. He can also spread his legs for a more dramatic pose thanks to his combined form's transformation scheme. His individual robot mode only has limited articulation in his shoulders. He also has a little green arrow above the connector on his abdomen indicating where to crash him to combine with other figures. A 5 mm post hole on top of his vehicle mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though he cannot use it in his individual robot mode.

:Saberhorn comes packaged with [[Bisk_(RID)#CrashCombiner|Bisk]] and is intended to combine with him to form [[Saberclaw]]'s lower torso. Connecting them to each other (more like bumping each other's asses) will activate Bisk's automatic transformation, but Saberhorn must be converted manually. He can also combine with any other Crash Combiner figure to form a random Combiner.

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

'''Predaking''' is a [[Decepticon]]-created beast, created from the [[CNA]] of his [[Predaking (COP)|predecessor]] and brought to life by Shockwave's science. Originally, Megatron had expected this supposedly simple-minded dragon to follow his orders without question, but Predaking has shown that he is far more than meets the optic sensor. Since revealing his possession of a [[robot mode]], Predaking has made it plain that he is as intelligent as any of Megatron's forces, with a sense of warrior's pride and no shortage of ambition. While he has repeatedly professed his loyalty to his lord and master, Megatron has taken note of his ambition to lead a resurrected Predacon race, not to mention his lofty self-imbued title. While the Decepticon ranks have held many an ambitious up-and-comer with an eye for mastery, Predaking may be the first one Megatron has legitimately feared. The last surviving member of his kind may be the most powerful being on planet Earth.

Predaking's presence was so frightening that the [[Autobot]]s began hunting for ways to combat him. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 1}} With the news that a couple of Autobots were heading for a derelict starship in the [[asteroid belt]], [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and Predaking set out to intercept them. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 2}} They successfully found the derelict and interrupted [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] looting it for gear. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 4}} Though the two villains initially had the upper hand, [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] arrived {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 5}} and managed to hold off Predaking long enough for the other two Autobots to escape. As the ship exploded, Predaking saw Megatron plunge through the floor. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 6}} He returned to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'' and reported their leader's apparent demise to the other Decepticons, who immediately blamed [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 7}}

Predaking went out hunting for Optimus Prime, and soon found his prey searching for him in the desert. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 17}} Though Predaking was confident he would have an easy victory, Optimus powered up one of the weapons taken from the derelict and warned his opponent that their battle was far from over. Predaking's confidence faded, and he felt fear for the first time in millions of years. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 18}} The battle ended in Predaking's defeat. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 23}}

[[File:TFPMegatron&PredakingSizeComparison.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.67|Truly songs and tales fall utterly short of the reality, O Smaug the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities.]]
Having recovered Predacon [[CNA]], Shockwave successfully cloned one of the great beasts, storing it in his lab. He brought the creature online and took it to Earth to hunt Autobots. {{storylink|Scattered}} After Shockwave gave it a whiff of [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]'s energon, it was dispatched and soon found its quarry near an energon mine. Wheeljack and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] fought the creature, first trying to blow it up with a grenade, then luring it into an explosive-laden mine in an attempt to destroy it. The beast emerged triumphant, only for [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] to arrive in [[Iron Will|his ship]] and fire at it. It continued to dog the starship, clinging to the top of it until Magnus managed to knock it off by flying through a canyon. The Predacon returned to [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s citadel, where [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] reflected it was a pity it couldn't tell them why it failed. The Predacon responded by growling, rather quietly and angrily. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}} When [[Darkmount (Earth)|Darkmount]] came under attack, the Predacon was unleashed to attack the Autobots. It began chasing Ultra Magnus's ship, but was tricked into flying through a [[GroundBridge]] to the Arctic, where it swiftly froze. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

[[File:ChainOfCommand Magnus forges a head.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|I laid low the warriors of old, and their like is not seen in the world today. Then, I was young and tender.]]
Some time later, the temperature in the Arctic rose to a sufficient level to allow the Predacon to free itself. It swiftly tracked down the ''Nemesis'', and Megatron decided to assign it to Starscream while Shockwave continued work on cloning more Predacons. After several hilarious attempts to make the beast compliant, Starscream was ordered to deploy it against the Autobots currently attacking one of the dig sites. The Predacon attacked Ultra Magnus, Bulkhead, and Wheeljack, eventually causing a cave-in after swatting away Wheeljack's grenade. The cave-in unearthed a Predacon optic, the sight of which awakened a memory in the beast. It brought the eye to Starscream, then engaged [[Miko Nakadai]], who had acquired the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]]. Overhearing Megatron's demand that the bone fragment be brought to him, the Predacon complied and left the rest to Starscream. {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}}

Back at the ''Nemesis'', the Predacon responded to Starscream's continued orders with a swipe of his tail that missed the Decepticon but demolished the ship's communications array. Starscream frantically tried to fix it, eventually attempting to reboot the network by entering an override access code into a computer console. The Predacon watched him and later, when alone, it entered Starscream's access code into the computer and began to call up information on the origins and existence of Predacons. {{storylink|Plus One (Prime)|Plus One}}

[[File:Evolution Predaking Anger.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|His rage passes description - the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted.]]
During a tour of Shockwave's off-site laboratory, the Predacon revealed his intelligence and ability to [[Transformation|transform]] to his fellow Cybertronians. He offered to lead the Predacons on Megatron's behalf as "Predaking", but Megatron was wary of giving control of an army more powerful than his own to someone else. On Starscream's advice, he arranged for the termination of the clones using the Autobots discovering the lab as a pretense. Predaking fell for the ruse, engaging Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack after they destroyed the clones. He disabled both and destroyed the [[Forge of Solus Prime]], but was stopped from delivering the final blow by Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Evolution}}

Predaking continued to believe that once Cybertron was restored, Megatron would resurrect the rest of the Predacon race. As the Decepticons worked to repair the Omega Lock, Predaking was dispatched to Antarctica to battle the Autobots. He battled with Optimus Prime at length, and though he was almost buried under a glacier at one point, he eventually got the better of the Autobot leader and sent Prime crashing into the ground. {{storylink|Minus One}} He was prevented from finishing Optimus off when Megatron instructed him to make sure the target of the Decepticon mission was kept safe, and he had to retrieve Shockwave and a generator from the [[Solaris particle collider]] building. Back on the ''Nemesis'', he found that the Decepticons had captured [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], whom Megatron promised would be his to terminate once the Autobot's usefulness had ended. {{storylink|Persuasion}}

[[File:Synthesis-predakingvsmegatron.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|''I'' am king under the mountain!]]
True to Megatron's word, Predaking was presented with Ratchet as a plaything; however, once the Autobot revealed that Megatron had arranged for the Autobots to find Shockwave's lab, Predaking went on a rampage through the ship. After beating up every Vehicon in his path, the Predacon attacked Megatron and almost got the better of his former leader. A missile to the back from Starscream rattled him enough that Megatron was able to blast him out of an airlock. {{storylink|Synthesis}} Predaking somehow clung to the hull and went unnoticed by anyone, until the warship returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and restored the planet. Witnessing the world's resurrection, Predaking transformed and flew off. {{storylink|Deadlock}}

[[File:Predaconsrising-Starscreamupthecreek.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|I think our little game ends here. So tell me, Starscream, how do you choose to die?]]
He found a Predacon burial ground, uncovered by the movement during the planet's rebirth. It was there that the Autobots found him, and attempted to persuade him to help them find two new Predacons they'd encountered. Though Predaking refused as he couldn't forgive them for their role in the destruction of his kind, he went searching himself and soon found evidence that the Autobots had been telling the truth. His signal intended to attract the two Predacons instead brought [[Unicron]], now in possession of Megatron's form, to his position. Unicron attempted to gain Predaking's allegiance, unaware of Predaking's betrayal, but the Predacon instead attacked the chaos bringer. Unicron defeated him, taking the location of the burial ground from his mind, and by the time Predaking returned, he found to his horror that Unicron had desecrated the site. It was there that he encountered two other Predacons, [[Darksteel (Prime)|Darksteel]] and [[Skylynx (Prime)|Skylynx]]. Though these two Predacons were not willing to obey, Predaking quickly asserted his dominance over the two. After a suggestion from Shockwave, Predaking led them in an attempt to assist the Autobots in fighting Unicron's horde of Terrorcon Predacons. Although Predaking, Skylynx, and Darksteel were pulled into the Well, they were successful in slowing the horde down long enough for Optimus Prime to defeat Unicron, causing the Terrorcons to disintegrate. The trio later tracked down Starscream, intending to exact some revenge. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

===Full of Fire!===
Predaking was unleashed with five other Predacons on the Autobots, who proved more formidable after having built themselves new weapons. Predaking's fire was stopped short by Optimus Prime's [[Firebreath Cyclocannons|Dragon Cannons]], and the other Predacons had a similar lack of fortune, so they withdrew back to the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Full of Fire!}}

Predaking came upon [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] playing cards within the Decepticons' volcano base. For his own amusement, he breathed fire on the gang, sending them scrambling in all directions. He continued to peer through the volcano's crater as the Decepticons attempted to upgrade themselves with some new parts, only for the Autobots to sabotage the process. He chuckled merrily at the Decepticons' misfortune. {{storylink|Intro!}}

Predaking harassed Starscream once again when he found him preening in front of a full-length mirror. He swooped down, breaking Starscream's mirror to bits and scattering the Decepticon's pieces about, before continuing on his way. {{Storylink|Take Flight!}}

At some point Predaking traveled to Earth, bringing Starscream's severed arm with him.

Through a series of simulations, Predaking's destructive prowess was tested out.

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

*'''Predaking''' (Voyager Class, 2013)
**''Series/Number'': '''2 / 002'''
**''Accessories:'' Two Hydrafire Blasters, two missiles, sword/tail

:Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Voyager Class toys, this Predaking transforms into a three-headed dragon, and comes with a tail that detaches to become a sword that can be (loosely) held by his hands. His extra dragon heads/"[[Hydrafire Blaster]]s" are spring-loaded missile launchers that are geared to straighten their necks and launch their missiles when the levers behind them are pulled. They can also combine into a larger weapon, with their gears being connected so that they move and fire in unison. The heads/blasters mount via [[5mm post]] onto his back and forearms. He does fairly well regarding [[scale]] with the Cyberverse versions of the rest of the cast in [[beast mode]], and his size in [[robot mode]] compared to them suggests what his true size in the cartoon would be if he didn't suffer from mass-displacement.

:[[Cybertronix]] symbols are detailed into various parts of his body, including the Hydrafire Blaster heads and robot mode legs. Soft plastic is used on various parts of Predaking, including his beast mode head and feet/hands. Due to the soft plastic, [[quality control]] is a bit random; some batches of figures may have deformations in-package, or may have difficulty gripping the sword since the slot is only on one half of the hand.

:While he is usually shown with his wings spread in robot mode, something not shown, even in his instructions, is that his wings can be folded down against themselves to resemble their appearance in the show.

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts several deco differences from the final product, such as black-painted wing membranes and yellow missiles. His [[instructions]] include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 6|sixth chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series. Predaking was slightly redecoed into [[Dragotron#Voyager|Dragotron]].

*'''Beast Fire Predaking''' (Ultimate Class, 2013)
**''Accessories:'' Two launchers, two missiles, tail/Infernum Blade

: Beast Fire Predaking is the largest representation of Predaking and features a 21-inch wingspan, although the wings easily detach from their bases [[for safety reasons]], and to allow easier access to the battery compartment on his back. He comes with two spring-loaded missile launchers, and his tail detaches to become the [[Infernum Blade]], all of which can peg onto his hands, wrists, and wings via 5mm post.

:He also has light-up features in his dragon head, as well as his robot head and torso. The dragon head is lit by pulling on a lever on his neck, swinging the head down and opening his mouth in the process. The robot head and torso are lit by pressing the translucent-yellow button on his right shoulder. Batteries are not included.

:His rear legs are mis-transformed in package, not having been angled and tabbed into his thighs. His packaging stock photography depicts his sword with orange paint details that were replaced with silver in the final product. His instructions include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 18|eighteenth chapter]] of the ''Tales of the Beast Hunters'' series.

:While the toy is classified as an Ultimate Class figure, It is ''dwarfed'' by the Ultimate Class ''Beast Hunters'' Optimus Prime figure; Optimus is nigh Supreme sized whereas Predaking is roughly the size of a ''Prime'' Weaponizer and the like. Clearly the designers chose wingspan over mass.

:In international markets, such as Canada, Singapore, the Philippines, Europe and Australia, Beast Fire Predaking was released as part of the first wave of mainline ''Prime: Beast Hunters'' Ultimate Class toys. In the United States, he was [[Rebranding|rebranded]] and repackaged in the Target-exclusive "Predacons Rising" subline, with new instructions lacking the ''Tales'' chapter.

:This mold was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Dragotron#Prime: Beast Hunters|Dragotron]], and was redecoed as [[Dragotron#Ultimate|Guren Dragotron]].

**''Accessories:'' Two Hydrafire Blasters, two missiles, sword/tail

:A minor redeco of ''Beast Hunters'' Voyager Class Predaking that adds black paint operations to the dragon wings, lacks the black paint operations for both the robot head and the primary dragon head, changes the paint operation on the tip of the sword/tail from gold to orange, changes the missiles from gray to orange and juggles around the colors silver, gray and orange on the secondary dragon heads/missile launchers. Even weirder, this Predaking is tampographed with the [[:File:Predacon Prime PrototypeInsignia.png|"prototype" Predacon]] [[insignia]] instead of the single release's regular one.

:This version was only available in a two-pack with an ever-so-slightly less redecoed Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Predaking|Optimus Prime]], which has thus far only been released at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in Portugal, the United Kingdom and Germany. In Germany, it was explicitly advertised as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. This box was available at regular retail in Brazil.

*'''Predaking''' (Voyager Class, 2014)
**''Series/Number'': '''3 / 002'''
**''Accessories:'' Blaster, missile, tail/Infernum Sword

:Part of the first wave of ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 Voyager Class toys, Predaking is functionally an upsized copy of his ''Beast Hunters'' Series 3 ''Cyberverse'' toy, though with the [[articulation]] and sculpted details based on his larger toys, and the replacement of his ball joints with more robust [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s. As a result, his complexity is lower than in his previous Voyager Class toys, but he ends up being much, ''much'' more massive, even giving Ultimate Beast Fire Predaking a run for his money! In terms of deco, he is made primarily of smokey-black translucent plastic, with fiery orange paint applications. Unfortunately, the transparent plastic used is prone to stress marks.

:For accessories, the tail detaches to become a ''huge'' Infernum Sword, and he also comes with a [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] blaster with a pressure-fired missile. All of his accessories peg via 5mm post into his hands, and the blaster can also store on a peg-hole located on the sword's "spine". Interestingly, the missile uses the same mold as the one included with the ''Cyberverse'' version.

: Part of the store exclusive ''[[Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising]]'' [[subline imprint]], ''[[Construct-Bots]]'' Predaking is sold at the price-point of a triple-changer, Construct-Bot Predaking does not have a humanoid face but a flat dragon-like mouthplate.

:His tremendous wings while being pretty awesome looking are very restricted in their movement and make Predaking extremely back heavy. He uses primarily unique parts save for his torso and feet which are from [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Starscream]], his forearm armor from [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Construct-Bots|Megatron]] and his blasters from [[Blitzwing (G1)#Construct-Bots|Blitzwing]].

: Part of the second wave of Custom [[Kreon]]s, ''[[Kre-O]]'' Predaking comes with a buildable rack to store his customizable parts. His torso, arms, waist, and legs have a metal-flake sheen. His "normal" helmet and wings are chromed, plus he comes with an extra transparent torso and helmet, as well as a pair of large Kreon-compatible beast-legs (originally from the ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]'' Gorn). He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), a buildable bladed staff, a small pistol, and a pair of twin-claws.

:Though widely solicited, this wave of Custom Kreons ultimately never saw release outside of the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online store and Chinese-market distribution circles.

==Notes==
*Predaking seems to employ [[size changing|mass displacement]]. It's been shown multiple times that his [[beast mode]]'s big enough to toss around Cybertronians like chew-toys, while his [[robot mode]] stands only head and shoulders over Megatron. This is likely so he can have scenes in robot mode while inside the ''Nemesis''.

'''As the Bee Team struggles to liberate Cybertron from the Decepticon controlled High Council, Optimus and his All-Stars fight back the advance force of an Earth-bound Cybertronian invasion!'''
==Synopsis==
[[File:TRID S3 E26 FF SC 1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"[[Luke Skywalker|This is not going to go the way you think!]]"]]
Surrounded by [[High Council trooper]]s, the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] fruitlessly attempts to convince them that they're being mind controlled. [[Dropforge]] and his men arrive and take custody of the prisoners, who puzzle over the fact they previously broke the mind control over their new captor. As it turns out, Dropforge ''is'' still free of the mind control, though he's surprised [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]'s team has [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] with them. They reach the [[High Council Tower]] where Dropforge frees the team, before leaving to tell the authorities that the prisoners "escaped". Once he's left, the team realizes Steeljaw has disappeared and immediately assumes the Decepticon is up to no good, but Steeljaw has just been deactivating the defenses for them. Everyone heads inside.

Back on [[Earth]], [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and his team have survived the destruction of the warehouse thanks to [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]'s [[Triage Shield]], though the device fails shortly after they emerge from the rubble. They resume their search for the High Council forces — according to Ratchet, the enemy are constructing a [[Space Bridge]] receiver near the [[Crown City]] coast. The team reaches the docks and start searching. [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] stumbles on half a shipping container, which turns out to be partially affected by a [[Light Bender]]. Bulkhead breaks the device, revealing the council forces and their Space Bridge receiver, just in time for the rest of the team to arrive and engage the troopers in battle. Ratchet covers the area with his Triage Shield to try to avoid [[human]]s detecting the conflict. Optimus and [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] take to the air, but are hit by missiles that send the pair hurtling towards the ground. Optimus fortunately recovers in enough time to save Windblade.

[[File:TRID S3 E26 FF SC 2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That's the only way to become what you were meant to be."]]
The Bee Team reaches the main council chamber where [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]] is ordering [[Cyberwarp]] to make another transmission. [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] detects Light Bender technology, so [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] deploys [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] to investigate. Cyberwarp begins her transmission about the impending invasion of Earth, but falters. Cyclonus finishes the speech for her. Cyberwarp's protest that humans should control their own planet goes unheeded by Cyclonus, who orders [[Skyjack (RID)|Skyjack]] to signal the start of the invasion. Slipstream yanks a device from Cyberwarp's leg, deactivating the Light Benders and revealing the High Council to be Decepticons. As the Decepticons attempt to capture the Mini-Cons to use as hostages, [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] notes that the camera is still broadcasting to the planet, but as the mind control is still in effect, the populace won't react. The team goes to try and deactivate the signal, and Bumblebee notices Steeljaw has disappeared. Cyclonus blasts the two Mini-Cons and the Decepticons, minus Cyberwarp, engage the Autobots in a melee. The Autobots succeed in taking them down one by one. Cyclonus has the other 'Cons merge with him into [[Galvatronus (RID)|Galvatronus]], and the Autobots likewise merge into [[Ultra Bee]]. As the two combiners battle, the fight is broadcast to the rest of Cybertron.

[[File:TRID S3 E26 FF SC 3.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"[[Mark Hamill|I've seen this raw strength only once before. It didn't scare me enough then. It does now.]]"]]
Optimus's team fights as the Space Bridge portal looms ominously overhead. Optimus has the other Autobots draw the fire of the Autobot troopers while he flies in and pulls the main dish of the receiver free. He throws the dish directly into the portal, creating a feedback loop that causes the Space Bridge to explode.

[[File:TRID S3 E26 FF SC 4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"We are the spark...that will light the fire that will burn the First Order down."]]
Galvatronus spots the alarm from the portal's destruction and, enraged, starts pounding Ultra Bee while outlining the various plans the Autobots have foiled. Fixit finally locates the mind control transmitter, which Steeljaw promptly destroys. The population are freed from their stupor in time to see the broadcast of Galvatronus repeatedly punching Ultra Bee and detailing his plans. His attempt to finish off Ultra Bee is put on pause when Cyberwarp rebels, giving Ultra Bee the chance to fight back. Galvatronus is defeated and splits into his component parts which are all fine, and Cyberwarp talks to them, as around Cybertron the Autobots cheer. The Bee Team splits as well and Cyberwarp expresses hope that both sides can work together instead of fighting.

Bee and Optimus's teams stand before a crowd of cheering Autobots. Optimus turns down the idea of leading the planet, and designates the rest of his team as a temporary council. Bee's team are keen to get back to Earth, and Optimus suggests they be appointed ambassadors.

Sometime later on Earth, the Bee Team are back in the scrapyard. Denny and Russell, despite all the times they've been endangered by their adventures with the Bee Team, happily welcome them to continue staying with them. Right on cue, the team immediately starts squabbling. They're interrupted by a distant howl from Steeljaw, resulting in them revving up and rolling out.

[['Til all are one]].

==Quotes==
"Perfect! They fell right into our trap!" 
"Oh, is that what that was?"
:—'''Bulkhead''' and '''Windblade''', shortly after the former is ambushed.

"Let's just smash everything in here!" 
''[Autobots charge off yelling]'' 
"I was gonna suggest that anyway."
:—'''Grimlock''' and '''Bumblebee'''

"We... share a planet. There has to be a better way... to settle our differences... than destroying one other."
:—'''Cyberwarp'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s final plea.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*The members of the High Council are revealed to be Decepticons masquerading as Autobots with Light Benders. In other words, real ''robots in disguise''.
*[[Galvatronus (RID)|Galvatronus]] lists off the actions of the High Council in Season 3: freeing [[Steeljaw's Pack]] to kill the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] and freeing [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] from the [[Shadowzone (dimension)|Shadowzone]] to summon [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] "to lead our conquest"; apparently the Council hasn't gotten the memo about Megs' [[Predacons Rising (Prime)|change of heart]], or simply doesn't believe it.
* The freight depot where the All-Stars stop the space bridge tranceiver looks like the same depot where Optimus, Bulkhead, and [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] battled [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]] in "[[Loose Cannons]]".
*While combined as [[Ultra Bee]], the Autobots recall their fights against [[Menasor (RID)|Menasor]] in "[[Combine and Conquer]]" and “[[Moon Breaker]]”.
*[[Dropforge]] and his three officers were made immune to the High Council's mind control and left for Cybertron back in "[[Five Fugitives]]".
*[[Light Bender]]s and their suitability for use as cloaking devices were first established back in "[[Guilty As Charged]]".

===Transformers references===
*The Space Bridge receiver is a near dead-ringer for the Earth-bound Space Bridge rings in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]].
*The Decepticon High Council's combined form goes unnamed onscreen; however, the toyline (and the credits for the episode) calls the guy "Galvatronus". Nonetheless, he is heavily influenced by his [[Galvatronus (Generations)|''Combiner Wars'' counterpart]], who also had [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Generations|a Cyclonus as the central component]].

===Real-world references===

===Errors===
[[File:RIDRatchetAnimationError.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|]]
*Right after Fixit credits Steeljaw with assisting them, the shot switches back to Bumblebee, Strongarm, Optimus and Ratchet so Strongarm can deliver a line. At the beginning of this shot, Ratchet's head and neck are momentarily rendered in front of his torso until he starts looking at Strongarm.

===Trivia===
* It's not stated if the Decepticons that the Bee Team captured in the tail-end of the series—[[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]], [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]], [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]], [[Underbite]], and [[Wingcode]]—were returned to Cybertron. Adam Beechen stated in a deleted blog post that they were sent back to Cybertron in custody.
* Skyjack gets referred to by name, so "yay" for that. Regardless, she never gets any dialogue like Treadshock and Riotgear.
* The series ends with Steeljaw as the only known Decepticon still at large on Earth; however, this is done to show that "the adventure continues" for Team Bee.
* Surprisingly, Galvatronus is shown to have the same personality as ''Cyclonus'', of all 'bots.
* With Cyberwarp's appearance, this marks the second time a "good" Decepticon has appeared in the series, after Grimlock who decided to change sides all the way back during the series' debut, possibly hinting that not all Decepticons are hostile after the war.
