'''Clear Out''' is a member of the [[Artillery Team]] in the [[Elite Guard]]. He is the wingman to his fellow flying upgrade, [[Windsail]], always coming in second best in their friendly competitions. Clear Out doesn't seem to mind—he's willing to fight back-to-back with Windsail in the bar rooms or the unfriendly skies. Although not as fast as his wingman, Clear Out can carry more ammunition, and often joins their squad leader [[Halonix Maximus]] on aerial strike runs.<ref>Information from the OTFCC forums, in a post giving a quick rundown of the Elite Guard teams.</ref>

==Fiction==
===''Wings Universe''===
After the disappearance of the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s, the Artillery Team and the Recon Team were assigned to a search and rescue mission to locate any signs of the missing Elite Guardsmen. {{storylink|A Team Effort}} They needn't have worried. Clear Out and the other Elite Guard teams were present at headquarters when the Combaticons attacked on behalf of their new master, the [[Decepticon Warlord]] named [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 5}} In the battle that followed against the Combaticons' combined form, [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], Clear Out was killed, as was nearly the rest of the Elite Guard. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}}

==Notes==
*Clear Out's color scheme is based on the [http://www.collectiondx.com/node/223 Red Dragon Thunderzord] from ''{{w|Mighty Morphin Power Rangers}}'' (adapted from [https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Mythical_Qi_Beast_RyuseiOh Ryuuseioh] of ''{{w|Gosei Sentai Dairanger}}''), of which colorist [[Josh Perez]] was a fan.<ref>[https://twitter.com/dyemooch/status/1423454037987504130 Tweet by Josh Perez]: "yeah! I'm a big fan of Ryuuseiou/Red Dragon Thunderzord, so I did these colors as an homage- funny enough, I've added several Megazord-colored TFs in the backgrounds of things and now Hasbro owns Power Rangers lol"</ref>

'''Autobots and Maximals join forces to rescue Airazor as Dinobot chooses his destiny.'''

==Synopsis==
''In a possible future, [[Blackarachnia (BW)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Blackarachnia]] and [[Dinobot (BW)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Dinobot]] await their leader, the Predacon [[Megatron (BW)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Megatron]], as he steals the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]]. [[Maximal]] Enforcers fire on him in hot pursuit, causing Megatron to drop the Disk. Blackarachnia catches it, and the two threaten to shatter the Disk. Megatron implores them not to, claiming it is the only chance the Predacons have to take back their world. In the end, Blackarachnia agrees and relents, giving the Disk back to Megatron, much to Dinobot's chagrin...''

On [[Earth]], Dinobot catches [[Starscream (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Starscream]] and Blackarachnia quietly scheming, but before he can intervene, [[Thundercracker (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Thundercracker]] reports that [[Soundwave (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Soundwave]] has captured [[Airazor (BW)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Airazor]], a Maximal spy. Dinobot finds the Predacon leader torturing Airazor for fun and calls out his leader for being dishonorable. As Blackarachnia retrieves Megatron, Airazor attempts to appeal to Dinobot's better nature from her cell. Torn between loyalty and honor, he grimly follows orders and resumes torture. But he only does it once, remaining full of conflict. Airazor attempts to reach him again, and a thin trust is established. Dinobot confesses that he wanted to change [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for the better, but is unsure if he's doing the right thing. Airazor continues to extend kindness and suggests he has grown beyond loyalty to a single faction. Dinobot can hardly respond and departs.

At the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', [[Optimus Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Optimus Primal]] argue priorities: Prime wants to stop "his" [[Megatron (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Megatron]] from retrieving the [[AllSpark|Allspark]] at all costs, while Primal is keen to rescue Airazor. The Maximals are especially loath to lose another comrade, having arrived on Earth with a full complement of 200 soldiers. Prime and [[Bumblebee (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]] agree to help the Maximals, and [[Arcee (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Arcee]] is instructed to assemble a strike team to retrieve Airazor alongside the Maximals. In exchange, Primal orders [[Rhinox (BW)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Rhinox]] to remain with the Autobots to aid them in their search for the [[AllSpark]] and to repair the ''Ark''. After they depart, Rhinox, [[Ratchet (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Ratchet]], and [[Wheeljack (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Wheeljack]] struggle to repair [[Teletraan I]]. The tech-savvy rhinoceros Maximal stuns Wheeljack with his rapid progress. Learning that the ''Ark'' had passed through the [[Dead Universe]], he states that doing so is an option that he would not recommend. Meanwhile, the [[Autobot]]s learn that they are poorly equipped to handle the uneven terrain on Earth, unlike the bestial Maximals.

The two Megatrons discuss the contents of the Golden Disk (and the need for the Predacon to choose a different name). "Beast" Megatron warns his ancestor that too much knowledge of the future can be dangerous, but the Decepticon leader says he knows just enough to know not only where the Allspark is, but what he must do to retake it. Nearby, Starscream eavesdrops on their conversation, reporting it to Blackarachnia.

Near the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]], [[Hound (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Hound]] manages to hide their energy signatures and Primal sends [[Rattrap (BW)#War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|Rattrap]] in to get Airazor. He narrowly avoids detection by [[Astrotrain (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Astrotrain]] and Dinobot. As the rat-bot scurries away, Dinobot confronts Blackarachnia for scheming against the Megatrons, but Starscream ambushes him. Dinobot pleads to be heard, suggesting that they three, a third column apart from their factions, could seize the Allspark and prevent Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, and Predacons alike from killing each other.

Megatron has another vision: he finally comes across the Allspark. After a brief struggle, he catches it, but then notices that he's actually holding the dead face of Ultra Magnus. As Megatron is consumed by a great void, he awakens, rips the Matrix off of his chest, and throws it across the room. He contacts Soundwave and "Beast" Megatron, telling them it is time to press his advantage with knowledge from the Golden Disk: he knows ''exactly'' when and where Rattrap will try to free Airazor and sends Astrotrain and Scorponok to intercept him. He also dispatches "Beast" Megatron to North Bridge to ambush Arcee and Primal's team, unfazed by Hound's energy signature suppression!

Rattrap is at the mercy of Astrotrain, but then [[Mirage (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Mirage]] de-cloaks and punches him across the room while Rattrap tussles with [[Scorponok (BW)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Scorponok]]. Just as Rattrap finds himself at Scorponok's mercy, Mirage disguises himself as Astrotrain and convinces Scorponok to stand down. In disguise, Mirage orders Rattrap to open Airazor's cell, freeing their comrade as the ruse is discovered.

"Beast" Megatron's victory is short-lived, as the Decepticons refuse to take orders from the Predacons, giving the Autobots and Maximals an opportunity to escape. But just as they are overrun by the Predacons and Decepticons, Optimus Prime arrives, along with Rattrap and Mirage, and they drive back their enemies. Airazor rushes to embrace [[Tigatron#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Tigatron]] as Primal declares the mission a success. Even as Prime worries about Megatron's activities, Primal reveals that Airazor ''let'' herself get caught; in fact, that was her mission! As a result, she placed tracers on every bot she came in contact with, and Prime orders the Autobots and Maximals to roll out and converge on their location.

But in a shuttle craft elsewhere on Earth, Megatron approaches a mysterious structure, smiling as the Matrix glows on his chest...

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

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

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

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