Vanguard: /* Energon Wars */

== Energon Wars ==

Hey, you mentioned over on the [[Bot Shots]] talk page that Energon Wars (and specifically [[Sky Lynx (Energon Wars)]]) was Movie-verse. Do you have anything we can link to to document this for future reference? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 13:08, 7 February 2012 (EST)

:Well, I dug through the old WOTC forums archive trying to find anything. Sadly, there wasn't much there (not that there ever was). The answer I got was from WOTC chat was as part of my duties when the game was active, but I sent along a request for something either linkable or directly quotable. Since the game is dead and buried, though, I wouldn't get my hopes up. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 13:21, 7 February 2012 (EST)

Vanguard: /* Upcoming Waves / Wave 3 */

'''Bot Shots''' is an action-figure based game that involves small super-deformed auto-transforming figures with combat rules similar to "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Players transform their Bot Shots figure into vehicle mode, send it into their opponent's figure, and hopefully the collision will trigger a transformation into robot mode.

A three-sided rotating symbol in their chest (either a fist, a blaster, or a sword) put into place before the game by the player, is judged against the opponent's pre-set symbol using the below hierarchy, determining the winner.

* Fist beats sword
* Sword beats blaster
* Blaster beats fist

In the event of a draw, the figure's individual power ranking determines the winner. If a figure does not transform, its owner loses by default.

==Bot Shots figures==

===Wave 1===
* [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]
* [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]
* [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]
* [[Sentinel Prime (DOTM)|Sentinel Prime]]
* [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]
{{comingsoontoy}}

===Wave 2===
* Barricade
* Bumblebee
* Bumblebee (Translucent variant)
* Optimus Prime
* [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]

* [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]
* [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]]
* [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] (redeco of Starscream)
{{comingsoontoy}}

==Notes==
Each figure's design is a mix of various incarnations of the characters, though usually settling somewhere between "G1" and "Movie." Because this sort of thing makes the wiki's brain hurt, the figures are being considered [[Aligned continuity family]] characters by default.

The '''''Transformers: Prime''''' toyline hit shelves in [[November]] [[2011]]. Originally, [[Hasbro]] played coy with the series receiving a toyline at all, emphasizing that it was a television series first and foremost. There were initial plans to release a small assortment of three Deluxe figures ([[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]) in the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' line before they were moved into the expanded "First Edition" launch line.

The ''Transformers: Prime'' toys released in 2012 will bear the "Robots in Disguise" subtitle.

This size class derives its new name from a universal gimmick shared by the figures. Each one comes with a spring-loaded [[MechTech]]-style transforming weapon partially constructed from translucent plastic, and featuring an LED that moves into place and is activated when the weapon is deployed. The figures also feature translucent plastic in various spots throughout their bodies, so that when the weapon is in place and deployed, the moving LED creates the idea of energon power "flowing" from the character's bodies into their weapons.

Vanguard: Since I do get asked...WOTC involvement

Older than dirt, is raising another generation of Transformers fans.

=WOTC Community Lead=
During the interium between [[Micheal Bay]]'s [[Transformers (movie)|Transformers Movie]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen]], Vanguard was the offcial community lead for [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s Transformers line. While this may sound impressive, this was probably one of the most worthless official 'fandom' positions to exist. The only product WOTC released was the ill-concieved and poorly-recieved [[3D_Battle-Card_Game|3D Battle-Card Game]].

As a result, duties primarily included wondering why WOTC was letting such a huge branding license to go complete crap in their hands and handling a message board where most people were pretty much asking the exact same thing. The position effectively ended with the release of Energon Wars and the board's closure. WOTC has yet to revist the Transformers license, which as of the end of 2011, they still have domnion.

2012-01-30T19:58:58Z

Vanguard: /* Bot Shots figures */

'''Bot Shots''' is an action-figure based game that involves small super-deformed auto-transforming figures with combat rules similar to "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Players transform their Bot Shots figure into vehicle mode, send it into their opponent's figure, and hopefully the collision will trigger a transformation into robot mode. A three-sided rotating symbol in their chest (either a fist, a blaster, or a sword) put into place before the game by the player, is judged against the opponent's pre-set symbol using the game's established hierarchy, determining the winner. In the event of a draw, the figure's individual power ranking determines the winner. If a figure does not transform, its owner loses by default.

==Notes==
Each figure's design is a mix of various incarnations of the characters, though usually settling somewhere between "G1" and "Movie." Because this sort of thing makes the wiki's brain hurt, the figures are being considered [[Aligned continuity family]] characters by default.

Transformers: Prime (toyline)

2012-01-30T19:57:51Z

Vanguard: /* Commander */ - Wave one out in the UK

{{Nav-Prime}}

The '''''Transformers: Prime''''' toyline hit shelves in [[November]] [[2011]]. Originally, [[Hasbro]] played coy with the series receiving a toyline at all, emphasizing that it was a television series first and foremost. There were initial plans to release a small assortment of three Deluxe figures ([[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]) in the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' line before they were moved into the expanded "First Edition" launch line.

The ''Transformers: Prime'' toys released in 2012 will bear the "Robots in Disguise" subtitle.

According to a post by Hasbro, the First Edition subline has been canceled for the US.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-first-editions-officially-canceled-for-the-us-174249/]</ref>

Vanguard: Continuity Note with New Figures

Bot Shots (toyline)

2012-01-30T19:50:14Z

Vanguard: /* Wave 1 */

'''Bot Shots''' is an action-figure based game that involves small super-deformed auto-transforming figures with combat rules similar to "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Players transform their Bot Shots figure into vehicle mode, send it into their opponent's figure, and hopefully the collision will trigger a transformation into robot mode. A three-sided rotating symbol in their chest (either a fist, a blaster, or a sword) put into place before the game by the player, is judged against the opponent's pre-set symbol using the game's established hierarchy, determining the winner. In the event of a draw, the figure's individual power ranking determines the winner. If a figure does not transform, its owner loses by default.

==Notes==
Each figure's design is a mix of various incarnations of the characters, though usually settling somewhere between "G1" and "Movie." Because this sort of thing makes the wiki's brain hurt, the figures are being considered [[Aligned continuity family]] characters by default.

== Wave numberings ==

Are we certain that the Deluxes Vehicon and Terrorcon Cliffjumper are part of the Robots in Disguise waves and are not part of the First Edition waves? After all, at NYCC 2011, Hasbro stated that the Wheeljack, Soundwave, new mold Bumblebee, and new mold Cliffjumper figures were Robots in Disguise Wave 1. Couldn't these two be "First Edition Wave 3"? SDCC 2011 showed them to be "Wave 3" figures, and they're coming out before the four mentioned "RiD Wave 1" figures. So, what's the story behind putitng them in the RiD main line instead of the FE line? --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 22:59, 26 November 2011 (EST)

Not going to worry about adding it to the article now (I'm sure someone with more local cred will do it), but how should the new "Prime Targetmaster Companions" from Japan, Skywarp, and the other handful of Japanese-only toys so far announced going to be handled? Just treat them in a similar vein to the (now old) [[Robots in Disguise]] line? - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 18:25, 20 January 2012 (EST)
:I think only the ones that have no Hasbro counterparts should be listed in some fashion. The rest that are still relatively similar to the Hasbro versions shouldn't be listed, since we didn't do that for the Animated toyline page. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 01:13, 21 January 2012 (EST)

== Separating the First Edition toys from the Robots in Disguise toys ==

Does anyone else think there should be separated individual sections for the First Edition toys and the Robots in Disguise toys? I mean, it might seem a little neater to put all nine First Edition releases by themselves in one section and then all the Robots in Disguise toys below them in a second section, as right now we have them wrapping around each other with things looking a little confusing. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 22:33, 20 January 2012 (EST)

: Seems to be how things are organized on other pages with similar themes (Unicron Battles, etc.). I went ahead and separated them out. Probably should add the 'upcoming item' tags to a few entries here. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 23:29, 20 January 2012 (EST)
:: And now that's done. I didn't add the macro to the first wave of RiD toys, since they're apparently coming out in the UK already and should be in release in the US any time now. I also didn't do anything about the "Movers" since I have no clue about them. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 23:36, 20 January 2012 (EST)

== Gun Jumping? ==
: I didn't think we could/should use store pre-orders as 'verification' of upcoming assortments until they were confirmed. RobotKingdom has had errors in their pre-order information in the past, and some of these products (such as the Bot Shots) don't appear to be Prime products at all. While some of the upcoming material seems obvious (Voyager Megatron), shouldn't we wait for a little more confirmation? There's a reason I didn't put up Skywarp just yet, after all... - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 00:46, 21 January 2012 (EST)
::[[Help:Official info#What constitutes official information?]] Though, if there are indeed any errors in this information, feel free to make any necessary corrections. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 00:53, 21 January 2012 (EST)
:::Well, the RobotKingdom link doesn't identify the branding of the Bot Shots toys, so those should not be here yet. Also, RobotKingdom is NOT currently on the 'first source' list that you cited. (Again, not trying to be difficult here, just that pre-order information has been burned before, particularly from RobotKingdom). At the very least, the Bot Shot assortment should be removed for the time being, and I think there should be a note added about the sources of future wave information be placed for the time being. This is an admin call, though, so I'm not going to make the edit. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 01:00, 21 January 2012 (EST)
::::Yeah, I wasn't too certain on those, which is why I didn't link them to any specific version of those characters. But, you're right, we'll need the voice of one higher up to decide. Though, Walky did just add [http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Silas&diff=680511&oldid=677105 this bit] to Silas' page, so... yeah, I'm stumped. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 01:05, 21 January 2012 (EST)

== Just a few observations... ==

For one, I'm confident that 'Robots in Disguise' is simply referring to the Deluxe/Voyager price-point figures, the same way that 'MechTech' was used in the Dark of the Moon toyline. Note how only Deluxe/Revealers and Voyager/Powerizers have the 'Robots in Disguise' logo, as well as red details on the packaging, while Legion and Commander have 'Cyberverse', green detailing and no sign of 'Robots in Disguise' anywhere on them. The use of 'Robots in Disguise' for the ENTIRE mainline seems erroneous to me. Secondly, I'm also wondering if perhaps 'Revealers' and 'Powerizers' are simply tentative size-classes. The packaging for the figures still read 'Deluxe' and 'Voyager', and likewise, the Argos catalogue itself lists them as Deluxe and Voyager. I wonder if the Revealer/Powerizer names are actually, like 'CyberTech' and 'Megaverse', terms not being used officially, yet are still in the computer systems for Argos (when picking up my reserved Wheeljack, the Argos worker listed it as 'one Prime Revealer', yet his packaging states him to be Deluxe). I am not a member of any of the online Transformers communities, so I thought it best to raise the point here. If I'm in the wrong, by all means gloss over the non-member's random comments! {{unsigned|90.205.85.159 }}

== Is the BigBadToyStore a credible source? ==

I noticed recently that the BBTS have a page for Japanese 'Prime' figures, including several listed that I don't think have been confirmed anywhere else. TFW2005 have pointed it out and listed the figures by size class, including the new ones. [[User:Tarrn|Tarrn]] 19:48, 26 January 2012 (EST)

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=2819&category=8098

http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/new-japanese-prime-toy-listings-on-bbts-174235/

: BBTS is very credible, as far as being a secondary source. The only issue here is that we don't know, for sure, what all these Japanese releases actually are just yet. "Dreadwing" seems to be their version of "Skyquake", based on its listing. "Bikon" seems to be a very, very badly romanized version of "Vehicon". "Skywarp" is likely a redeco of the deluxe "Starscream" figure. All of this, of course, could be completely wrong. But, there's no harm, just yet, in just waiting until either Takara updates its page or we start seeing toy pictures. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 14:31, 30 January 2012 (EST)

== First Edition line cancelled? ==

[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-first-editions-officially-canceled-for-the-us-174249/ According to TFW2005, BBTS, and TFSource,] Hasbro has pulled the plug on First Edition ''Prime'' figures.

Demolishor (Armada)

2012-01-27T19:23:57Z

Vanguard: /* Armada */

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{picsneeded|Toys, fictional appearances}}

{{disambig3|Demolishor}}

:''Demolishor is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Demolishor-AR-DVD.jpg|right|325px|thumb|They were delicious.]]
'''Demolishor''' is a military expert who serves [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] through the [[Unicron Battles]]. He is a very trusted but sometimes very ''dim'' soldier who holds very true-to-[[spark]] values concerning loyalty and devotion to the Decepticon cause. These values sometimes collide with Megatron's ultimately selfish goals, and Demolishor finds himself struggling to reconcile the two.

Ultimately, though, Demolishor never abandons his devotion to the Decepticons as a whole, even if his faith in their leader is shattered.

His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]].

==Fiction==
===Cartoon continuity===
====''Armada'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Alvin Sanders]] (English), [[Kōji Yusa]] (Japanese), [[Anders Öjebo]] (Swedish)

[[Image:Palace-Reeeeeaaaach!.jpg|right|200px|thumb|You don't wanna know what's going on below.]]
Demolishor served as Megatron's right-hand military expert until the arrival of [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], although he often competed with [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] for the title. He was often dense and simple-minded, but very devoted to his cause. Perhaps the most thoughtful action of Demolishor's during this time was to tear through a door Megatron had sealed in order to stop Megatron from destroying Starscream, whom Demolishor valued as a Decepticon ally. Demolishor was seriously damaged by [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], only to be reformatted into a red/white color scheme via [[Powerlinx]] energy. He would go on to serve in the United Armada against [[Unicron]].

{{charstubfiction}}

====''Energon'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Alvin Sanders]] (English), [[Kōji Yusa]] (Japanese), [[Anders Öjebo]] (Swedish), [[Christoph Jablonka]] (German)

[[Image:Demolishor MegSword.jpg|left|180px|thumb|And so Demolishor became the king of England.]]
Following the end of the [[Unicron Battles]], Megatron's death saw the alliance between the Decepticons and Autobots persist. With the establishment of [[Cybertron City (city)|Cybertron Cities]] to mine [[Energon (Energon)|energon]] on Earth, Demolishor was assigned to [[Ocean City]], where he guarded the city's main gate. Despite his frequent complaints and arguments with the humans and Autobots who lived in the city, Demolishor developed something of a friendship with his new allies and grew into his role. Of particular note was his bickering relationship with the inexperienced [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]], who didn't trust him for being a Decepticon, and whom he ridiculed in return for being a greenhorn. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}}

In the year 2020, when the alien being [[Alpha Quintesson]] created the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] to steal energon for him, he armed their leader, [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]], with a sword forged from Megatron's [[spark]]. During a battle at [[Plains City]], the sword was knocked aside and landed in the ground in front of Demolishor, but he could not bring himself to take hold of the weapon. The chance to return to his Decepticon nature versus his new role amongst the Autobots left him conflicted, unsure of what he truly wanted in life. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}

Demolishor's dilemma continued when Megatron returned to life and laid siege to Ocean City. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} When Megatron appeared before him, Demolishor trained his guns on him, struggling to make a decision as Megatron continually taunted him. Eventually, Demolishor caved in and rejoined the Decepticons, departing with Megatron for his headquarters within the inactive corpse of [[Unicron]]. Despite having made this decision, Demolishor's experiences had left him a changed 'bot, and he would be heard to caution Megatron on the frailties of humans. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}}

Not longer thereafter, Demolishor participated in a Decepticon attack on the Autobot ship the ''[[Miranda II]]'', which activated its personal [[energon grid]] defense system during the battle. Megatron was caught directly in the path of the grid, galvanizing Demolishor into making a final, fateful decision: He pushed his leader out of the way and took the force of the grid's blast himself. Oddly, Demolishor blamed Optimus for what happened to him and exploded. Nobody seemed to mourn the loss. (They do in the Japanese version, but this was altered in the English dub.) {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}}

Demolishor's body was destroyed, but his spark was salvaged by Megatron, who implanted it within a new body. Megatron used his Unicron-derived powers to wipe Demolishor's memory, 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. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} Demolishor retained his friendship with [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], now Snow Cat, to whose level of intelligence he was now much closer. There was occasional cuddling. In the end, Demolishor, along with Snow Cat, did not follow Megatron into the sun. {{storylink|The Sun}}

====''Cybertron''====
Somehow magically back in his original body (no word on whether his mentality recovered as well), Demolishor was left behind on Cybertron during the planetary evacuation, but has kept himself busy by fighting off the [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]] horde. Demolishor has heard rumors that Megatron has once again returned from the dead, but hopes it is not true, as he enjoys not being pushed around by his commander for once. {{storylink|#Cybertron|Demolishor's ''Cybertron'' toy bio}}

===Dreamwave comic continuity===
====Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic====
Demolishor was part of Megatron's initial strike force on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and devastated [[Mini-Con Sector|Mini-Con Village C52]] alongside [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 1|Armada #1}} Powered by [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], he also participated in the assault on and devastation of [[Cyber City]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 2|Armada #2}}

[[Image:DWArmada5_Demolishor_whatmakeshumanstick.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

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 (Armada)|Street Action Mini-Con Team]], [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] and three human kids. He captured the Mini-Cons and expressed interest in taking the humans apart to see where all their courage came from. Then four other Mini-Cons swarmed his face and shattered his targeting reticle "eyepatch". {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 5|Armada #5}}

[[Image:WorldsCollide2_Demolishor_vs_SmokescreenScavenger.jpg|thumb|left|250px|]]

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 (Armada)|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}} 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}}
{{-}}

====''Energon'' comic====
[[Image:StarscreamEnergon-Multiplicity3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
Ten years after the battle with Unicron, his [[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 (fuel)|energon]] ore processing plant [[Deltos-Five]] when its systems started going haywire. Grumbling that [[Thrust (Armada)|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 what appeared to be the ghost of Starscream. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}}

{{note|Due to Dreamwave's subsequent bankruptcy, it was never revealed what Starscream did to Demolishor. According to solicitations for several [[Unreleased Dreamwave issues|unreleased ''Energon'' issues]], he was to return in an all-new and upgraded form in ''Energon'' #32. [[Simon Furman]] eventually released the plots of the unreleased ''Energon'' issues on his blog. It was revealed that Demolisher was indeed upgraded to his ''Energon'' body, and tasked by [[Alpha Quintesson]] to kidnap [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]].{{storylink|Armageddon Part 1}} He is pursued by Rad, [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] and [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]], and assisted by Carlos and Alexis.{{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}} The rescue team is boosted by [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]], [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]], who tracked down Demolishor and the captive Kicker in [[Mexico]]. The Autobots battled Demolisher while Rad freed Kicker.{{storylink|Armageddon Part 4}} Once free, Kicker used his special powers to channel the energy of all the Energon on Earth, using it to utterly destroy Demolishor.{{storylink|Armageddon Part 5}}}}
{{-}}

===Panini ''Armada'' comic===
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|Panini Armada issue 2|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 (Armada)|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. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 4|No Way Back!}} 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 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!}}

===Toy pack-in comics===
[[Image:Energon V4 Decepticons.jpg|thumb|]]
When [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] fell to his knees in battle, [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] sent Demolishor, [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]], and [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]] to attack the beaten leader. Their attack was averted when they were blasted away by [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]. {{storylink|Energon Volume 4}}
{{-}}

===''TransTech''===
Demolishor was part of [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s inner circle in the underlevels of [[Axiom Nexus]]. He was with Gutcruncher in [[The Blue Deployer]] the night the [[Action Master]] took [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] for a lot of money. {{storylink|Gone Too Far}}

===Bendon ''Armada'' books===

Megatron and Demolishor launched a surprise attack against the Autobots, only to "cowardly" run away after Optimus Prime and Hot Shot stood up to them. {{storylink|Cave Catastrophe}}

Megatron and Demolishor also launched a sneak attack against the kids when they left themselves in the open, and were yet again bested by the two Autobots when they came to render aid. {{storylink|Race to Disaster}}

[[Image:Armada Demolishor toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Best Decepticon yes-man toy, ever!]]
* '''Demolishor w/ Blackout''' (Deluxe, 2002/2003)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-03'''
**''Accessories'': 4 missiles

: Demolishor transforms into an anti-aircraft missile tank of made-up model, though it appears to be heavily based on the ADATS weapon system. In vehicle mode, he has extra [[Mini-Con]] compatibility; there is a seat behind his turret so he can be piloted, plus the space between his treads features a clip/launcher mechanism for his partner [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]] in vehicle mode. Attaching a Mini-Con to his left shoulder's [[Powerlinx]] plug in either mode pushes his twin-missile launcher mechanism forward and allows his spring-loaded missiles to be fired.

: The toy also features an "Attack Base" mode that converts the tread assembly into an elevated base, turning Demolishor into a stationary anti-aircraft station. The station also features a seat which Blackout can sit on to "operate" the artillery.

: The Japanese release of Demolishor uses a different shade of tan, plus paints his face brown rather than black, among other smaller [[Paint operation|paint application]] changes.

: 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 "[[Hyper Mode]]"... which puts his head right in the middle of his sternum. His truck bed also feature 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 modes. According to Hasbro in [[Hasbro Q&A/August 2009: Answers|a Q&A]], he was supposed to be a new character named [[Long Haul]].

*'''Demolishor''' (2006)
**''Attack Type'': Shooter (wide missile)

: 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==
* Reportedly, both of the original Demolishor toy's shoulders were to contain spring-loaded missile launchers, but one was removed for cost considerations.
* Powerlinx Demolishor was originally intended to be [[Sixshot]]-inspired, according to [[Aaron Archer]], because Demolishor's gun-hands reminded him of Sixshot. (No, we don't get it, either.) However, the red color scheme got decided on by [[We've]] and implemented first.
* It's possible that Aaron Archer meant "[[Six-Gun]]" and not "Sixshot". This would make much more sense since Demolishor does bear some similarities to Six-Gun.
[[Image:ARgame-DemoFight.jpg|right|180px|thumb|ARHH!!]]
* 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.
* ''Cybertron'' Demolishor's Key Code as printed on the key doesn't work properly, giving the information for the Deluxe-Class [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]. However, the Code "'''D56B'''" gives Demolishor's information.
*According to the Armada IP Creative Bible, one of his production names was Scourge. Get it, Scourge, [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], and [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]]?
*Despite originating in the Unicron Trilogy, Demolishor has had [[Demolishor (SG)|two]] [[Demolishor (Prime)|characters]] based on him appear in [[Shattered Glass (franchise)|two]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron|separate]] Generation 1-influenced continuities. Probably helped by [[Demolishor (ROTF)|his third namesake]] appearing in ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.

{{disambig3|Demolishor}}

:''Demolishor is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Demolishor-AR-DVD.jpg|right|325px|thumb|They were delicious.]]
'''Demolishor''' is a military expert who serves [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] through the [[Unicron Battles]]. He is a very trusted but sometimes very ''dim'' soldier who holds very true-to-[[spark]] values concerning loyalty and devotion to the Decepticon cause. These values sometimes collide with Megatron's ultimately selfish goals, and Demolishor finds himself struggling to reconcile the two.

Ultimately, though, Demolishor never abandons his devotion to the Decepticons as a whole, even if his faith in their leader is shattered.

His [[Mini-Con]] partner is [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]].

==Fiction==
===Cartoon continuity===
====''Armada'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Alvin Sanders]] (English), [[Kōji Yusa]] (Japanese), [[Anders Öjebo]] (Swedish)

[[Image:Palace-Reeeeeaaaach!.jpg|right|200px|thumb|You don't wanna know what's going on below.]]
Demolishor served as Megatron's right-hand military expert until the arrival of [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], although he often competed with [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] for the title. He was often dense and simple-minded, but very devoted to his cause. Perhaps the most thoughtful action of Demolishor's during this time was to tear through a door Megatron had sealed in order to stop Megatron from destroying Starscream, whom Demolishor valued as a Decepticon ally. Demolishor was seriously damaged by [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], only to be reformatted into a red/white color scheme via [[Powerlinx]] energy. He would go on to serve in the United Armada against [[Unicron]].

{{charstubfiction}}

====''Energon'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Alvin Sanders]] (English), [[Kōji Yusa]] (Japanese), [[Anders Öjebo]] (Swedish), [[Christoph Jablonka]] (German)

[[Image:Demolishor MegSword.jpg|left|180px|thumb|And so Demolishor became the king of England.]]
Following the end of the [[Unicron Battles]], Megatron's death saw the alliance between the Decepticons and Autobots persist. With the establishment of [[Cybertron City (city)|Cybertron Cities]] to mine [[Energon (Energon)|energon]] on Earth, Demolishor was assigned to [[Ocean City]], where he guarded the city's main gate. Despite his frequent complaints and arguments with the humans and Autobots who lived in the city, Demolishor developed something of a friendship with his new allies and grew into his role. Of particular note was his bickering relationship with the inexperienced [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]], who didn't trust him for being a Decepticon, and whom he ridiculed in return for being a greenhorn. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}}

In the year 2020, when the alien being [[Alpha Quintesson]] created the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] to steal energon for him, he armed their leader, [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]], with a sword forged from Megatron's [[spark]]. During a battle at [[Plains City]], the sword was knocked aside and landed in the ground in front of Demolishor, but he could not bring himself to take hold of the weapon. The chance to return to his Decepticon nature versus his new role amongst the Autobots left him conflicted, unsure of what he truly wanted in life. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}

Demolishor's dilemma continued when Megatron returned to life and laid siege to Ocean City. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} When Megatron appeared before him, Demolishor trained his guns on him, struggling to make a decision as Megatron continually taunted him. Eventually, Demolishor caved in and rejoined the Decepticons, departing with Megatron for his headquarters within the inactive corpse of [[Unicron]]. Despite having made this decision, Demolishor's experiences had left him a changed 'bot, and he would be heard to caution Megatron on the frailties of humans. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}}

Not longer thereafter, Demolishor participated in a Decepticon attack on the Autobot ship the ''[[Miranda II]]'', which activated its personal [[energon grid]] defense system during the battle. Megatron was caught directly in the path of the grid, galvanizing Demolishor into making a final, fateful decision: He pushed his leader out of the way and took the force of the grid's blast himself. Oddly, Demolishor blamed Optimus for what happened to him and exploded. Nobody seemed to mourn the loss. (They do in the Japanese version, but this was altered in the English dub.) {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}}

Demolishor's body was destroyed, but his spark was salvaged by Megatron, who implanted it within a new body. Megatron used his Unicron-derived powers to wipe Demolishor's memory, 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. {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} Demolishor retained his friendship with [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], now Snow Cat, to whose level of intelligence he was now much closer. There was occasional cuddling. In the end, Demolishor, along with Snow Cat, did not follow Megatron into the sun. {{storylink|The Sun}}

====''Cybertron''====
Somehow magically back in his original body (no word on whether his mentality recovered as well), Demolishor was left behind on Cybertron during the planetary evacuation, but has kept himself busy by fighting off the [[Scrapmetal (race)|Scrapmetal]] horde. Demolishor has heard rumors that Megatron has once again returned from the dead, but hopes it is not true, as he enjoys not being pushed around by his commander for once. {{storylink|#Cybertron|Demolishor's ''Cybertron'' toy bio}}

===Dreamwave comic continuity===
====Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic====
Demolishor was part of Megatron's initial strike force on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and devastated [[Mini-Con Sector|Mini-Con Village C52]] alongside [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 1|Armada #1}} Powered by [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], he also participated in the assault on and devastation of [[Cyber City]]. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 2|Armada #2}}

[[Image:DWArmada5_Demolishor_whatmakeshumanstick.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

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 (Armada)|Street Action Mini-Con Team]], [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] and three human kids. He captured the Mini-Cons and expressed interest in taking the humans apart to see where all their courage came from. Then four other Mini-Cons swarmed his face and shattered his targeting reticle "eyepatch". {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 5|Armada #5}}

[[Image:WorldsCollide2_Demolishor_vs_SmokescreenScavenger.jpg|thumb|left|250px|]]

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 (Armada)|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}} 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}}
{{-}}

====''Energon'' comic====
[[Image:StarscreamEnergon-Multiplicity3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
Ten years after the battle with Unicron, his [[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 (fuel)|energon]] ore processing plant [[Deltos-Five]] when its systems started going haywire. Grumbling that [[Thrust (Armada)|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 what appeared to be the ghost of Starscream. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}}

{{note|Due to Dreamwave's subsequent bankruptcy, it was never revealed what Starscream did to Demolishor. According to solicitations for several [[Unreleased Dreamwave issues|unreleased ''Energon'' issues]], he was to return in an all-new and upgraded form in ''Energon'' #32. [[Simon Furman]] eventually released the plots of the unreleased ''Energon'' issues on his blog. It was revealed that Demolisher was indeed upgraded to his ''Energon'' body, and tasked by [[Alpha Quintesson]] to kidnap [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]].{{storylink|Armageddon Part 1}} He is pursued by Rad, [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] and [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]], and assisted by Carlos and Alexis.{{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}} The rescue team is boosted by [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]], [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]], who tracked down Demolishor and the captive Kicker in [[Mexico]]. The Autobots battled Demolisher while Rad freed Kicker.{{storylink|Armageddon Part 4}} Once free, Kicker used his special powers to channel the energy of all the Energon on Earth, using it to utterly destroy Demolishor.{{storylink|Armageddon Part 5}}}}
{{-}}

===Panini ''Armada'' comic===
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|Panini Armada issue 2|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 (Armada)|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. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 4|No Way Back!}} 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 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!}}

===Toy pack-in comics===
[[Image:Energon V4 Decepticons.jpg|thumb|]]
When [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] fell to his knees in battle, [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] sent Demolishor, [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]], and [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]] to attack the beaten leader. Their attack was averted when they were blasted away by [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]. {{storylink|Energon Volume 4}}
{{-}}

===''TransTech''===
Demolishor was part of [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s inner circle in the underlevels of [[Axiom Nexus]]. He was with Gutcruncher in [[The Blue Deployer]] the night the [[Action Master]] took [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] for a lot of money. {{storylink|Gone Too Far}}

===Bendon ''Armada'' books===

Megatron and Demolishor launched a surprise attack against the Autobots, only to "cowardly" run away after Optimus Prime and Hot Shot stood up to them. {{storylink|Cave Catastrophe}}

Megatron and Demolishor also launched a sneak attack against the kids when they left themselves in the open, and were yet again bested by the two Autobots when they came to render aid. {{storylink|Race to Disaster}}

[[Image:Armada Demolishor toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Best Decepticon yes-man toy, ever!]]
* '''Demolishor w/ Blackout''' (Deluxe, 2002/2003)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-03'''
**''Accessories'': 4 missiles

: Demolishor transforms into an anti-aircraft missile tank of made-up model, thought it appears to be heavily based on the ADATS weapon system. In vehicle mode, he has extra [[Mini-Con]] compatibility; there is a seat behind his turret so he can be piloted, plus the space between his treads features a clip/launcher mechanism for his partner [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]] in vehicle mode. Attaching a Mini-Con to his left shoulder's [[Powerlinx]] plug in either mode pushes his twin-missile launcher mechanism forward and allows his spring-loaded missiles to be fired.

: The toy also features an "Attack Base" mode that converts the tread assembly into an elevated base, turning Demolishor into a stationary anti-aircraft station. The station also features a seat which Blackout can sit on to "operate" the artillery.

: The Japanese release of Demolishor uses a different shade of tan, plus paints his face brown rather than black, among other smaller [[Paint operation|paint application]] changes.

His truck bed also feature 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 modes. According to Hasbro in [[Hasbro Q&A/August 2009: Answers|a Q&A]], he was supposed to be a new character named [[Long Haul]].

The key has a painted Decepticon sigil, a purple border, and the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''dt67'''" printed on the back.

: 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?
{{canceledattacktix}}
{{-}}

==Notes==
* Reportedly, both of the original Demolishor toy's shoulders were to contain spring-loaded missile launchers, but one was removed for cost considerations.
* Powerlinx Demolishor was originally intended to be [[Sixshot]]-inspired, according to [[Aaron Archer]], because Demolishor's gun-hands reminded him of Sixshot. (No, we don't get it, either.) However, the red color scheme got decided on by [[We've]] and implemented first.
* It's possible that Aaron Archer meant "[[Six-Gun]]" and not "Sixshot". This would make much more sense since Demolishor does bear some similarities to Six-Gun.
[[Image:ARgame-DemoFight.jpg|right|180px|thumb|ARHH!!]]
* 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.
* ''Cybertron'' Demolishor's Key Code as printed on the key doesn't work properly, giving the information for the Deluxe-Class [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]. However, the Code "'''D56B'''" gives Demolishor's information.
*According to the Armada IP Creative Bible, one of his production names was Scourge. Get it, Scourge, [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], and [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]]?
*Despite originating in the Unicron Trilogy, Demolishor has had [[Demolishor (SG)|two]] [[Demolishor (Prime)|characters]] based on him appear in [[Shattered Glass (franchise)|two]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron|separate]] Generation 1-influenced continuities.

Transformers: Prime (toyline)

2012-01-21T06:10:37Z

Vanguard: /* Decepticons / Destrons */

{{Nav-Prime}}

The '''''Transformers: Prime''''' toyline hit shelves in [[November]] [[2011]]. Beforehand, there had been much doubt as to whether there would be a toyline, partially because of the complex CG designs, and [[Hasbro]] considered releasing Optimus, Bumblebee and Starscream in the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' line before deciding the show warranted its own label. The first few waves released bear a "First Edition" label, with upcoming toys in 2012 bearing a "Robots in Disguise" subtitle.

Transformers: Prime (toyline)

Vanguard: /* Deluxe */

{{Nav-Prime}}

The '''''Transformers: Prime''''' toyline hit shelves in [[November]] [[2011]]. Beforehand, there had been much doubt as to whether there would be a toyline, partially because of the complex CG designs, and [[Hasbro]] considered releasing Optimus, Bumblebee and Starscream in the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' line before deciding the show warranted its own label. The first few waves released bear a "First Edition" label, with upcoming toys in 2012 bearing a "Robots in Disguise" subtitle.

Vanguard: /* Drones? */

== Drones? ==

What makes these guys drones? So far in the cartoon they seem to be generic Decepticons. Who don't talk much. Also, where is their name from? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 18:16, 27 November 2010 (EST)
:They were named in the comic, if I recall correctly. If they're ''not'' drones, the Autobots sure don't seem to have too many qualms about killing them.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 18:18, 27 November 2010 (EST)
:Starscream refers to them as drones in the second episode. Not sure if he's just referring to the miners or not though. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 18:35, 27 November 2010 (EST)
::"The drones have been mining in you absence." The drones pictured mining were far away, but didn't seem to have the same silhouette as the Eradicons. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 18:44, 27 November 2010 (EST)
[[Deus ex Machina]] muddies the issue somewhat further with Starscream's comment that "The crew took a vote", which would seem to be beyond the capability of drones. Although then he does go and randomly murder one. Of course, I suppose the crew he was referring to could have been named Decepticons aboard the Nemesis that haven't been shown yet, the same way there's nothing to suggest Makeshift wasn't aboard during Darkness Rising. [[Special:Contributions/82.15.246.28|82.15.246.28]] 16:31, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
:Yeah, that would be my guess. I can't imagine non-living drones taking a vote would be something Scrreamer would care about, so we have to assume there are other Cons on the ship...--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 16:55, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
::They call them drones so they can show their robotic guts getting ripped out in a cartoon. Otherwise they can vote and disagree with Starscream and stuff as much as they want. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 17:13, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
:::They seem to follow the same 'rules' as Star Wars' Stormtroopers or GI Joe's Cobra Vipers. They may be intelligent, but they're just disposable troop fodder. A drone doesn't have to be mindless, after all, and it's pretty clear that the Vehicons have some degree of intelligence. So they're not the same as the drones from Beast Machines. As for the Autobots pounding on them, that's been explicitly answered - it's because they're part of the Decepticon's warrior caste. The Autobots are far moer merciful to the worker caste Decepticons... typically. - [[User:Vanguard|Vanguard]] 18:28, 16 January 2012 (EST)

== Heads? ==

May be just me, but do the combat and mining variants have different helmets?
The combat ones have helmets like in War For Cybertron, shaped like a T, and the miners have Dead Space-ish stripes.
Anyone else noticed?

-ThiAthEhn

== Names? ==

These guys were recently called "Terrorcons" in the new "Terrorcon Defence" Game on Hubworld.com Maybe add a note about that? --[[User:Kaymac192|Kaymac192]] 17:25, 4 February 2011 (EST)
:No, they were called Vehicons. [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcons]] are the Dark Energon zombies. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 17:29, 4 February 2011 (EST)
:But yes, you can add a note about them being called Vehicons in that game. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 17:32, 4 February 2011 (EST)

{{Factions|decepticon|autobot|unicron}}
{{disambig2|the Decepticon from ''Universe''|the Decepticon from ''Revenge of the Fallen''|Shadow Striker (ROTF)}}

:''Shadow Striker is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]] (via the [[Universe (2003 franchise)|2003 Universe line]]).''

[[Image:Shadow Striker art.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The first shadow she struck was her own.]]
At an early age, '''Shadow Striker''' and her [[Relatives|sister]] [[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]] watched as [[Roulette and Shadow Striker's sister|their sister]] was destroyed at the hands of [[nomadic invader]]s. This traumatic event caused her to realize the difference between those who wielded power and those who ''were'' power. She grew up to become a bold, resourceful criminal who ran constant jobs for the various gangsters on Cybertron, particularly [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]].

Shadow Striker's hot rod engine can deploy a sonic dampening cone around her that gives her temporary stealth, and she carries a small acid blaster. Despite her resourcefulness, she can be easily manipulated when it comes to her remaining sister. Threaten Roulette and you'll get whatever you want from her.

She's also kind of an airhead.

Shadow Striker, her sister, and fellow Autobots [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] returned to Cybertron after a long absence. The planet's [[Maximal]]s welcomed them home, but the celebration was interrupted by [[Unicron]], who abducted all five Autobots, as well as the Maximals [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]. Transported to the [[Pit]], deep within the Chaos Bringer, Shadow Striker was physically and mentally tortured, and her body was changed into a new form. Soon she and her fellow abductees were stolen away by [[Cauldron drone|strange beings]] and locked inside the [[Cauldron]], where they would be forced to fight each other, the loser giving up their [[Spark]] to re-energize Unicron. {{storylink|Abduction}}

Although she and many other prisoners were freed by [[Optimus Primal]], Shadow Striker had been corrupted by Unicron's influence. As they raced away from the Cauldron, she sped ahead of them, abruptly turned, and bombed a hole in the road that was leading them away from the pursuing [[Minions of Unicron]]. Primal was nonetheless able to use his link with [[Primus]] to lead his makeshift army to freedom, and Shadow Striker remained behind with the rest of Unicron's Minions. {{storylink|Escape (issue)|Escape}}

Optimus Primal mentioned Shadow Striker and Blackarachnia as two abductees he couldn't save when trying to convince the [[Maximal High Council]] of the danger Unicron posed. {{storylink|Homecoming (issue)|Homecoming}}

: She was available only in an [[OTFCC 2003]] [[exclusive]] two-pack with her sister Roulette. The two are cast in the same plastic colors, but have different [[paint operation]]s to give them very different decos. This makes them one of the few examples of true [[repaint]]s in the entire history of ''Transformers''.

==Notes==
* According to [[Glen Hallit]], Shadow Striker's name was originally intended to be "Silhouette", but the name failed a [[trademark]] search. Perhaps coincidentally, "Shadow '''Strikers'''" was the name of a [[Kenner]] toyline in the late '80s/early '90s.

* Roulette and Shadow Striker are the first convention-exclusive toys to have parts made from entirely new tooling. Previously, the only one to have any alterations to its [[mold]] was [[BotCon 2001]]'s [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], which removed some peg-holes in her chest. [[Marcelo Matere]] designed the head.

* Shadow Striker is one of the few non-''[[Alternators]]'', non-[[Movie (franchise)|live-action-movie]] ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' toys to be an officially licensed vehicle. Each iteration of the Side Burn toy since the [[Hasbro]] US "super" version has had Dodge's "Viper" logo on the hood and trademark information on the packaging.

* Shadow Striker's overall colors and look very closely resemble that of another Decepticon convention exclusive character, [[Nightracer]], which came out in 1995. Despite the similarities, [[3H]] has flatly stated that the look was purely coincidental.

[[image:BC95Nightracerart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I enjoy being a girl!]]

'''Nightracer''' is one of the best sharpshooters in the Decepticon ranks. Aloof and a loner, Nightracer is often considered arrogant and distant, and her snide, cutting remarks to teammates only strengthen the other Decepticons' dislike of her.

*'''Nightracer''' (BotCon 1995)
**''Accessories'': Rifle

:Nightracer was a [[BotCon 1995]] [[exclusive]] toy, with a confirmed at-convention run of only 298 pieces. A redeco of the ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[High Beam]], Nightracer uses the same base plastic colors and mold as the Go-Bots version of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]], but lacks the gold overcoat paint layer, and has silver paint on her face and engine as opposed to Bumblebee's black. She also uses a different wheel mold than Bumblebee. Each toy given at the convention was further modified with hand-painted blue stripes on the sides of the hood, and a [[customizing|custom]]-made Decepticon sigil sticker on the center of the hood.

:Several years later, a large batch of Nightracer figures were sold through WhizBang Toys, both on eBay and through WhizBang's toy shows, presumably [[Hasbro]] overstock. This version of the toy lacks the hand-painted details and Decepticon sigil sticker, obviously.

:Aside from being the first toy specifically [[redeco]]ed for use as a convention exclusive, Nightracer is also the first female ''Transformers'' toy to see North American release, however limited.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Crosswise (RID)|Crosswise]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1995/Decepticon/Nightracer/nightracer.htm More information on Nightracer at TFU.info]''

==Notes==
* Nightracer's name, character, and biography never went through the [[Hasbro]] approval process—they were created by [[Raksha]], host of the 1995 BotCon convention, who maintains that Hasbro has no legal claim on the character. The claim is shaky at best, due to the nature of derivative works, but Hasbro has yet to pursue the issue, and is unlikely to do so in the future. As such, Nightracer holds a rather unique position; the toy is official, but the character is not. Kinda.

* Nightracer's colors weren't quite what Raksha had asked for: The lime-ish yellow plastic parts were supposed to be ''blue'', but Hasbro had presumably told Raksha that the colors couldn't be changed.<ref name="bc1995">[http://web.archive.org/web/20070611081535/http://www.electric-escape.net/tf/conventions/BotCon-95/Raksha Archived version of Raksha's BotCon 1995 notes]</ref> A possible reason for this is that, due to the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots']] [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] nature, Nightracer was actually made from spare parts that were left over from the production run of the Japanese releases of Go-Bots [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]]: Nightracer's "godawful yellow" is also the color of Soundwave's car shell. This would also explain the different wheels, which originally belong to the [[Double Clutch (G2)|Double Clutch]]/[[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] mold.

* Nightracer's overall colors and look very closely resemble that of another Decepticon convention exclusive character, [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]], which would come in 2003. Despite the simularities, [[3H]] has flatly stated that the look was purely coincidental.

Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)

2012-01-16T22:48:38Z

Vanguard: /* 2003 Sonokong, Korea */ - Really, I can write.. honestly... dangit

{{nav-rid}}

When the [[Transtech]] toyline concept was dropped, Hasbro needed additional time to develop a new franchise to follow the [[Beast Era]]. In 2000, the company therefore opted to bring over [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s '''''Transformers: Car Robots''''' line, rebranding the toyline as '''''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'''''.

The ''Car Robots'' line consisted of a group of new-mold toys, along with several redecorated toys from previous lines. The line included the first realistically-styled Earth vehicle Transformers in half a decade.

[[Image:RID Optimus Prime toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|RiD Optimus Prime, the largest vehicular toy since Optimal Optimus.]]
As sales rose and more toys were needed, [[Hasbro]] added in still more [[redeco]]rated toys to pad the line out toward its end. By the time all was said and done, ''Robots in Disguise'' included molds from ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'', ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[Machine Wars]]'', and ''[[Beast Machines (toyline)|Beast Machines]]''—in other words, every American toyline that had been produced to that point. Several cancelled/delayed/unproduced molds from previous lines were brought out as well, such as [[Optimus Primal/toys|Air Attack Optimus Primal]].

[[Image:Crosssell-rid.jpg|left|150px|thumb|]]
The line is therefore marked by an ''extremely'' wide variation in quality, complexity, realism and posability. At one end of the spectrum were fairly simple designs from previous lines, such as the [[Commando]]s and [[Spy Changer]]s. On the flip side, most of Takara's original mold designs were extremely complex, often to the point of frustrating fans with their origami-like [[shellformer]] transformations that required stuffing robotic bits ''just so'' to make them all fit together in vehicle form — though some fans also found this same complexity to be an enjoyable challenge.

Several elements introduced by ''Robots in Disguise'' would recur in the subsequent [[Unicron Trilogy]] and various other storylines, such as Optimus Prime combining with other major toys, and Prime and Ultra Magnus as brothers.

[[Image:RID Megatron toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|RiD Megatron - the only new-mold bad guy in the line.]]
''Robots in Disguise'' was the first (and thus far, the only) time an existing Japanese line was brought over wholesale to the US. Though the toys were new to the line's primary audience of children, many fans had already paid considerably higher prices to import the toys from Japan. Despite this, the line was met with a generally positive reception by fans (particularly those who'd found import prices to be more than they were willing to dish out), and seemed to sell well enough to kids as well, if the number of later redeco additions to the line is any indication.

Some minor changes were made to the Hasbro releases of the toys, most notably the application of [[tampograph]]ed faction symbols.

== 2003 Sonokong, Korea ==
In 2003, Takara-licensor [[Sonokong]] imported the Car Robots line into the Korean market. For the most part, these imports followed the Japanese toy line, with only cosmetic changes on the boxes. At the tail end of the line, however, Sonokong repackaged several Destrons from the older [[Beast Wars II]] line in Car Robots boxes. These figures were each called [[Combatrons]], given the Car Robots Combatron symbol on their packaging and instructions, but had their boxes colored as Cybertron figures. The figures themselves were unchanged, which also meant that they each still had the [[Predacon]] insignia on them.

==Innovations and lasting effects==
*Like ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' before it, ''Robots in Disguise'' also integrated the robots' weapons and accessories into their [[alternate mode]]s, now applying the concept to Transformers who transform into vehicles as well.
*''Robots in Disguise'' firmly established [[redeco]]s of previously released toys from the same line marketed as the same characters as the older toys (as compared to different characters), with the accompanying fiction often identifying the new decos as the result of a "power-up".
*''Robots in Disguise'' also introduced [[multilingual packaging|trilingual packaging]] to the United States market, which would last four years.
*While store [[exclusive]]s had existed since almost the beginning of the brand, the expanded ''Robots in Disguise'' line was when the concept really took off beyond "three or four exclusives for an entire line".

==Notes==
The [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe (2008) toyline]] includes toys marked as "Robots in Disguise series".

In 2003, Takara-licensor [[Sonokong]] imported the Car Robots line into the Korean market. For the most part, these imports followed the Japanese toy line, with only cosmetic changes on the boxes. At the tail end of the line, however, Sonokong repackaged several Destrons from the older [[Beast Wars II]] line in Car Robots boxes. These figures were each called [[Combatrons]], given the Car Robots Combatron symbol on their packaging and instructions, but had their boxes colored as Cybertron figures. The figures themselves were unchanged, which also meant that they each still had the [[Predacon]] on them.

Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)

2012-01-16T15:59:57Z

Vanguard: /* Car Robots */ - Sonokong Exclusives

{{nav-rid}}

When the [[Transtech]] toyline concept was dropped, Hasbro needed additional time to develop a new franchise to follow the [[Beast Era]]. In 2000, the company therefore opted to bring over [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s '''''Transformers: Car Robots''''' line, rebranding the toyline as '''''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'''''.

The ''Car Robots'' line consisted of a group of new-mold toys, along with several redecorated toys from previous lines. The line included the first realistically-styled Earth vehicle Transformers in half a decade.

[[Image:RID Optimus Prime toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|RiD Optimus Prime, the largest vehicular toy since Optimal Optimus.]]
As sales rose and more toys were needed, [[Hasbro]] added in still more [[redeco]]rated toys to pad the line out toward its end. By the time all was said and done, ''Robots in Disguise'' included molds from ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'', ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[Machine Wars]]'', and ''[[Beast Machines (toyline)|Beast Machines]]''—in other words, every American toyline that had been produced to that point. Several cancelled/delayed/unproduced molds from previous lines were brought out as well, such as [[Optimus Primal/toys|Air Attack Optimus Primal]].

[[Image:Crosssell-rid.jpg|left|150px|thumb|]]
The line is therefore marked by an ''extremely'' wide variation in quality, complexity, realism and posability. At one end of the spectrum were fairly simple designs from previous lines, such as the [[Commando]]s and [[Spy Changer]]s. On the flip side, most of Takara's original mold designs were extremely complex, often to the point of frustrating fans with their origami-like [[shellformer]] transformations that required stuffing robotic bits ''just so'' to make them all fit together in vehicle form — though some fans also found this same complexity to be an enjoyable challenge.

Several elements introduced by ''Robots in Disguise'' would recur in the subsequent [[Unicron Trilogy]] and various other storylines, such as Optimus Prime combining with other major toys, and Prime and Ultra Magnus as brothers.

[[Image:RID Megatron toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|RiD Megatron - the only new-mold bad guy in the line.]]
''Robots in Disguise'' was the first (and thus far, the only) time an existing Japanese line was brought over wholesale to the US. Though the toys were new to the line's primary audience of children, many fans had already paid considerably higher prices to import the toys from Japan. Despite this, the line was met with a generally positive reception by fans (particularly those who'd found import prices to be more than they were willing to dish out), and seemed to sell well enough to kids as well, if the number of later redeco additions to the line is any indication.

Some minor changes were made to the Hasbro releases of the toys, most notably the application of [[tampograph]]ed faction symbols.

===Cybertrons===
'''Spychangers''' 
The Spychanger group began as redecorated [[Go-Bot (G2)|''Generation 2'' GoBots]] molds. Eventually, several molds that were developed for G2 but never released were added to the ranks, as well as several entirely new molds representing characters from the line who had larger toys.

Kre-O

2011-07-05T01:33:21Z

Vanguard: /* Upcoming Releases */

[[Image:Kre-Ologo.jpg|center|]]
[[Image:Kre-O-Bumblebeeandothers.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Car me now!]]
'''Kre-O''' is a new play pattern expression of [[Hasbro]]'s best brands using quality construction bricks and mini-figurines. No, it's not ''[[Built to Rule]]''. It's especially not that thing that begins with an L! But it sure works with that thing that begins with an L.

L employees are asked to please not view this webpage.

Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits center around a Transformers character that can be taken apart and reassembled into a vehicle. Mini-figures called [[Kreon]]s are also included in the larger kits, and these mini-figures are a mix of Transformers characters and human drivers. Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99. The line launched [[June 6]], [[2011]].

The robot/vehicle kits seem inspired by a mix of ''Transformers'' aesthetics, while the ''Transformers'' Kreons are strongly based on the [[Sunbow]] animation designs. Though most of the toys feature heads designed directly from their ''Classics''/''Universe''/''Generations'' counterparts, a few kits feature heads taken from other sources, such as Megatron's head inspired by the Cybertronian form of [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]]. And while Sentinel Prime's kit is clearly inspired by his ''Dark of the Moon'' appearance, his head takes most of its cues from the vastly different ''Animated'' version of the character.

==Sets==
* '''[[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]]''' (568 pieces) w/ Optimus Prime, Skywarp, Bluestreak, and two human motorcycle driver Kreons
: Optimus Prime's trailer can stow two motorcycles, which the humans can ride

* '''[[Sentinel Prime (Kre-O)|Sentinel Prime]]''' (381 pieces) w/ Soundwave, Thundercracker, Sentinel Prime, and driver Kreons
: Sentinel Prime can be rebuilt from a red and black ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired robot mode to a fire truck

* '''[[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]]''' (30668) (310 pieces) w/ Megatron, Shockwave, human "Specialist" and human SWAT "Police" Kreon
: Megatron can be rebuilt into a gray semi-cab, based heavily on his appearance in the live-action movie [[Dark of the Moon]]. The robot mode head sculpt and overall robot mode coloration, however, is based on his [[Transformers: Animated]] appearance.

* '''[[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]]''' (30667) (316 pieces) w/ Starscream and human "Pilot" Kreons
: Starscream can transform into a jet somewhat resembling an F-14. His coloration and robot mode are heavily influenced by his original 1984 and Universe (2009) appearance.

* '''[[Sideswipe (Kre-O)|Sideswipe]]''' (31771) w/ Sideswipe and human "Driver" Kreons
: Sideswipe can be rebuilt into a red sportscar that somewhat homages his original Generation One appearance, but with additional detailing very loosely based on some of his movie-incarnation toys.

* '''[[Ratchet (Kre-O)|Autobot Ratchet]]''' (30662) (197 pieces) w/ Ratchet and human "Medic" Kreons
: Ratchet can be rebuilt into an ambulance that strongly resembles his appearance in Transformers: Animated. The robot mode seems to be a mix of his original Generation One appearance as well as his Animated appearance.

* '''[[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]''' (36421) (336 pieces) w/ Bumblebee, Red Alert, and human "Driver" Kerons
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a Mustang-like muscle car, based on the live-action movies. The head sculpt is a mix of Bumblebee's various incarnations. The human "Driver" is strongly reminiscent of [[Sam Witwicky]] from the live-action movies.

===Basic Series===
* '''[[Mirage (Kre-O)|Mirage]]''' (31145) (119 pieces) w/ Mirage and "Race Driver" Kreons
: Mirage can be rebuilt into an F-1 racer based heavily on Mirage's Generation One appearance.

* '''[[Jazz (Kre-O)|Autobot Jazz]]''' (31146) (122 pieces) w/ Jazz and human "Race Driver" Kreons
: Jazz can be rebuilt into a silver sports car with red/blue stripes. The primary coloration of the car (silver/gray) is the same as the live-action movie, but the coloring of the trim pieces and additional sticker details are from the original Generation One appearance.

* '''[[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]]''' (30690) (190 pieces) w/ Prowl and human "SWAT Commander" Kreons
: Prowl can be rebuilt into a white police car with black trim, strongly reminiscent of his original incarnation in Generation One.

===Promotional Series===
* Smaller '''Optimus Prime''' (31143) (90 pieces)
: Optimus can be rebuilt into a flat-nosed semi-tractor strongly reminiscent of his appearance of the Classics toyline. This kit does not include a Kreon.

* Smaller '''Bumblebee''' (31144) (74 pieces)
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a small sports coupe. Does not include a Kreon. This form is based most heavily on Bumblebee's appearance in the Classics toyline.

* Matrix '''Optimus Prime''' Kreon
: Promotional item given at Botcon 2011. Redeco of Optimus Prime Kreon showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

===Upcoming Releases===
{{comingsoontoy}}
* Kreon Hound
: Shown loose at Botcon 2011, no indication on how he'll be released.

* Keron Ironhide
: Shown loose at Botcon 2011, no indication on how he'll be released.

==Notes==
* While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with Lego bricks, take care with mixing Kreon and Minifigure parts, particularly helmets. Full-coverage Kreon helmets like Optimus Prime's and Soundwave's are a bit tight, and getting a Lego Minifigure head out of them is exceedingly difficult. They'll pop off the neck before the helmet relinquishes the head. Open-face helmets like Starscream's, where you can get a "grip" on the head with the pad of your finger, should be fine.

'''Kre-O''' is a new play pattern expression of [[Hasbro]]'s best brands using quality construction bricks and mini-figurines. No, it's not ''[[Built to Rule]]''. It's especially not that thing that begins with an L! But it sure works with that thing that begins with an L.

L employees are asked to please not view this webpage.

Unveiled at [[Toy Fair 2011]], ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' was the first Hasbro brand to be released as Kre-O construction brick kits. The kits center around a Transformers character that can be taken apart and reassembled into a vehicle. Mini-figures called [[Kreon]]s are also included in the larger kits, and these mini-figures are a mix of Transformers characters and human drivers. Prices range from $7.99 to $59.99. The line launched [[June 6]], [[2011]].

The robot/vehicle kits seem inspired by a mix of ''Transformers'' aesthetics, while the ''Transformers'' Kreons are strongly based on the [[Sunbow]] animation designs. Though most of the toys feature heads designed directly from their ''Classics''/''Universe''/''Generations'' counterparts, a few kits feature heads taken from other sources, such as Megatron's head inspired by the Cybertronian form of [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]]. And while Sentinel Prime's kit is clearly inspired by his ''Dark of the Moon'' appearance, his head takes most of its cues from the vastly different ''Animated'' version of the character.

==Sets==
* '''[[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]]''' (568 pieces) w/ Optimus Prime, Skywarp, Bluestreak, and two human motorcycle driver Kreons
: Optimus Prime's trailer can stow two motorcycles, which the humans can ride

* '''[[Sentinel Prime (Kre-O)|Sentinel Prime]]''' (381 pieces) w/ Soundwave, Thundercracker, Sentinel Prime, and driver Kreons
: Sentinel Prime can be rebuilt from a red and black ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired robot mode to a fire truck

* '''[[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]]''' (30668) (310 pieces) w/ Megatron, Shockwave, human "Specialist" and human SWAT "Police" Kreon
: Megatron can be rebuilt into a gray semi-cab, based heavily on his appearance in the live-action movie [[Dark of the Moon]]. The robot mode head sculpt and overall robot mode coloration, however, is based on his [[Transformers: Animated]] appearance.

* '''[[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]]''' (30667) (316 pieces) w/ Starscream and human "Pilot" Kreons
: Starscream can transform into a jet somewhat resembling an F-14. His coloration and robot mode are heavily influenced by his original 1984 and Universe (2009) appearance.

* '''[[Sideswipe (Kre-O)|Sideswipe]]''' (31771) w/ Sideswipe and human "Driver" Kreons
: Sideswipe can be rebuilt into a red sportscar that somewhat homages his original Generation One appearance, but with additional detailing very loosely based on some of his movie-incarnation toys.

* '''[[Ratchet (Kre-O)|Autobot Ratchet]]''' (30662) (197 pieces) w/ Ratchet and human "Medic" Kreons
: Ratchet can be rebuilt into an ambulance that strongly resembles his appearance in Transformers: Animated. The robot mode seems to be a mix of his original Generation One appearance as well as his Animated appearance.

* '''[[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]]''' (36421) (336 pieces) w/ Bumblebee, Red Alert, and human "Driver" Kerons
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a Mustang-like muscle car, based on the live-action movies. The head sculpt is a mix of Bumblebee's various incarnations. The human "Driver" is strongly reminiscent of [[Sam Witwicky]] from the live-action movies.

===Basic Series===
* '''[[Mirage (Kre-O)|Mirage]]''' (31145) (119 pieces) w/ Mirage and "Race Driver" Kreons
: Mirage can be rebuilt into an F-1 racer based heavily on Mirage's Generation One appearance.

* '''[[Jazz (Kre-O)|Autobot Jazz]]''' (31146) (122 pieces) w/ Jazz and human "Race Driver" Kreons
: Jazz can be rebuilt into a silver sports car with red/blue stripes. The primary coloration of the car (silver/gray) is the same as the live-action movie, but the coloring of the trim pieces and additional sticker details are from the original Generation One appearance.

* '''[[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]]''' (30690) (190 pieces) w/ Prowl and human "SWAT Commander" Kreons
: Prowl can be rebuilt into a white police car with black trim, strongly reminiscent of his original incarnation in Generation One.

===Promotional Series===
* Smaller '''Optimus Prime''' (31143) (90 pieces)
: Optimus can be rebuilt into a flat-nosed semi-tractor strongly reminiscent of his appearance of the Classics toyline. This kit does not include a Kreon.

* Smaller '''Bumblebee''' (31144) (74 pieces)
: Bumblebee can be rebuilt into a small sports coupe. Does not include a Kreon. This form is based most heavily on Bumblebee's appearance in the Classics toyline.

* Matrix '''Optimus Prime''' Kreon
: Promotional item given at Botcon 2011. Redeco of Optimus Prime Kreon showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

===Upcoming Releases===
{{upcoming}}
* Kreon Hound
: Shown loose at Botcon 2011, no indication on how he'll be released.

* Keron Ironhide
: Shown loose at Botcon 2011, no indication on how he'll be released.

==Notes==
* While the Kre-O bricks and such are compatible with Lego bricks, take care with mixing Kreon and Minifigure parts, particularly helmets. Full-coverage Kreon helmets like Optimus Prime's and Soundwave's are a bit tight, and getting a Lego Minifigure head out of them is exceedingly difficult. They'll pop off the neck before the helmet relinquishes the head. Open-face helmets like Starscream's, where you can get a "grip" on the head with the pad of your finger, should be fine.

'''''Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Game''''' was released on [[June 14]] [[2011]] for Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms. The game is a prequel to the film ''[[Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''. Unlike ''[[Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game]]'' and ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''Dark of the Moon'' will feature a single campaign mode, rather than separate Autobot and Decepticon campaigns. The game features a multiplayer mode with gameplay very similar to ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)| War for Cybertron]]''. The game was developed by [[High Moon Studios]], fresh off the success of that game.

==Plot==

===Chapter One===
Three years after the events of Revenge of the Fallen, humanity believes the Decepticons have fled Earth. However, Optimus Prime knows better and is constantly searching for Megatron and his forces. Bumblebee is sent to upload a virus into Soundwave's network system so that the Autobots can track down all remaining Decepticons on Earth. Bumblebee succeeds but is discovered by a Decepticon party who flee in an attempt to alert their leader Megatron. Bumblebee tracks the Decepticons down to a small village where he destroys all the devices trying to contact Megatron. Waves of Decepticons land in the city hoping to destroy him, but Optimus and Sideswipe show up and help Bumblebee fight off the attackers.

===Chapter Two===
The Decepticons attack the city of Detroit and Ratchet is ordered to help civilians evacuate while Ironhide goes off to wipe out the attackers in the city. Ironhide makes his way into the city's main construction zone where he receives transmission that Ratchet has been captured by Mixmaster. Ironhide battles his way to find Mixmaster who has knocked out and injured Ratchet. Ironhide's normal weapons are not strong enough to pierce Mixmaster's shields, so he uses his "Heavy Iron" ability to cause a large metal platform to land on Mixmaster trapping him underground. Realizing that Mixmaster would probably try to escape them, Ratchet reveals he placed a tracker on the Decepticon when he was captured. Ironhide continues his search for Mixmaster and receives the "Heavy Iron 2.0" upgrade from Wheeljack which can destroy Mixmaster's shields. Mixmaster is powerless against Ironhide's new weapon, defeated, and is killed by a fatal headshot from Ironhide.

===Chapter Three===
Sideswipe is captured by Decepticon forces and Mirage is sent to find him. Along the way, Starscream tries to destroy Mirage with proximity mines and grabs the Autobot and throws him through a bridge into a deep ravine down below, believing he has killed the Autobot. Mirage's internal systems have been extensively damaged disabling his weapons and transformation system. He is only able to use his Active Camoflauge to sneak past patrols of Decepticons. He discovers the entrance to an ancient Mayan temple which has Decepticon markings all over it suggesting the Mayans built their temples on top of Decepticon technology. The NEST team sends weapons and repairs for Mirage deep within the jungle where he eventually meets up with Bumblebee. The two Autobots make their way through the ruins and battle a Decepticon Enforcer on top of a temple. After dispatching of the enemy, the two discover Sideswipe and hold off enemy forces until NEST reinforcements are able to arrive to help ward off the attack. The trio of Autobots make their way deeper into the ruins where Starscream is trying to launch a Decepticon device into space. The Autobots are unable to prevent the launch and Starscream retreats.

===Chapter Four===
Soundwave lands on earth and takes on an alternate form of a SUV. He discovers NEST has a secret facility hidden in a volcano. Soundwave fights his wave through the jungle and into the volcano. He arrives at the entrance of the NEST base and is unable to enter, so he send Laserbeak to sneak inside. Laserbeak goes throughout the base scanning information regarding the human coverup of the Lunar Landing and activates the front doors for Soundwave to enter. Soundwave is seemingly caught in a laser grid prison but even so, the Decepticon is able to destroy all forces coming in to capture him. Soundwave discovers and destroys all 3 Volcanic Stabilizer devices and the Coolant system and escapes the base and volcano before it explodes.

===Chapter Five===
The Decepticons learn that Autobots are about to transport their new MechTech weapons system to Optimus Prime and Starscream goes off the retrieve it. Starscream chases Air Raid through a canyon only to discover the Aerialbots are escaping onboard Stratosphere with the MechTech systems onboard. Starscream is able to injure Stratosphere, forcing the Aerialbots to deploy and try to destroy Starscream. However, he proves to be too strong for them and continues to shoot down all of Stratosphere's engines. Starscream boards the large Autobot and takes some of the MechTech weapons before using the rest to destroy Stratosphere from the inside.

===Chapter Six===
Starscream returns to Megatron hoping to please his master with news that they can use the Autobots' technology against them. Megatron, however, is furious as he knows the Autobots have placed tracking devices in all their weapons leading them to Megatron's lair where he has been recuperating. Megatron rallies his Decepticon forces to hold off the Autobot attack while he makes his way through the tunnels to Shockwave's cryochamber. Megatron scans a truck rig and gains a new transformation form to travel quicker through the tunnels. As he nears Shockwave's chamber, he encounters Warpath who Megatron easily finishes off. Megatron disables the intense cryo system that has kept Shockwave frozen for so many year and waits for his assassin to awake. Optimus arrives intending to stop Megatron from finishing his plan and activates an energon shield that Megatron cannot penetrate. Soundwave informs Megatron that the spray from the cryo generators can weaken the shields. Megatron destroys the generators in the room until the shields on Optimus completely wear off. He knocks Optimus down a large hole in the ground and escapes.

===Chapter Seven===
Optimus awakens at the bottom of the cryo chamber to discover what Megatron has been after this whole time: to awaken his best soldier, Shockwave. Optimus knowing how powerful Shockwave truly is tries to find a way to reactivate the cryo system, but the Deception assassin has already been thawing too long and reawakens. Optimus and Shockwave battle and he discovers Shockwave's weakness are the energy cells on his back which power his hand blaster cannon. After dealing enough damage to Shockwave, the assassin retreats to the throne he was frozen on only for it to be revealed as Shockwave's pet, the Driller. The Driller tries to destroy Optimus with its tentacles but Optimus is able to disable them with his shoulder-mounted rockets. The Driller seems to retreat in defeat and Shockwave remains to try to finish off Optimus. Waves of Autobots land from above to help their leader in destroying Shockwave. Just as Optimus is about to deal the final blow to kill Shockwave, the Driller reappears and protects its master from the attack. It then retreats into the tunnels with its master.

===Chapter Eight===
The Autobots have won this battle but know the war with the Decepticons still wages on. Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream and Shockwave meet in South Africa where Megatron tells Shockwave to head to Chernobyl to search for a certain ancient Cybertronian artifact. Megatron gloats that "Operation Pillar" is underway and that the Autobots and humans have no idea what is in store for them, setting up the events of the 3rd movie.

===Multiplayer===
This broad option is where you will be spending most of your hours after you beat Shockwave. Here, players can create their own Cybertronian combatant and pit them against the multitude of online [[Fandom|transfans]] and [[Coby|12-year-olds]] that will more than likely slaughter you. Custom characters can be leveled up by killing dudes in matches, with specific bonuses being given for specific actions. As they level up, more abilities become available.

;Characters
Characters are created from four different bases, each of which feature different weapons, abilities and alternate forms. They are:
*[[Scout (WFC)|Scout]] - Cars. Fast, usually cloakers.
**Bumblebee Chassis (Autobot)
**Mirage Chassis (Autobot)
**Sideswipe Chassis (Autobot, Gamestop pre-order bonus)
**Enforcer Chassis (Decepticon)
*[[Hunter (DoTM)|Hunter]] - Jets. Also fast, usually medics and buffers.
**Breakaway Chassis (Autobot)
**Starscream Chassis (Decepticon)
*[[Leader (WFC)|Leader]] - Trucks. Balanced, with emphasis on defense and ally-aid.
**Optimus Prime Chasis (Autobot)
**Ratchet Chassis (Autobot, Amazon.com pre-order bonus, campaign completion bonus)
**Ironhide Chassis (Autobot)
**Soundwave Chassis (Decepticon)
**Megatron Chassis (Decepticon)
*[[Soldier (WFC)|Soldier]] - Tanks. Slow and powerful, with offensive abilities.
**Warpath Chassis (Autobot)
**Megatron Tank (Decepticon)
**Shockwave (Decepticon, campaign completion bonus)

Initially, players are only able to create one of each class, but as they level up, more slots open for a maximum of three of each class. Names can be chosen for each, but don't get too excited about making the [[Fanon|Transformer you always dreamed of]]: bodies are limited to about three options per faction and look exactly like characters from single-player (for example, the Autobot Scout category lets you choose from Bumblebee, Sideswipe, or Mirage). And while you can pick your color scheme, the palettes are rather limited, especially for Decepticons. Unlocking additional characters will also make their chassis available for customizing.

;Playlists
Choosing a playlist will automatically send you into a lobby, where the service will do its best to form balanced teams (I.E., you hopefully won't see a team of level 25 leaders fighting one level zero Scout). The service will also select a random [[Map (WFC)|stage]], which players can veto. Finally, when the game begins, combatants select their character. If your scientist gets butchered too many times, you can pick a different character at any time during the match, and you will switch to it upon dying. Players also cannot pick a faction; the game does it automatically. Weapons can only be picked up from defeated enemies; ammo caches, overshields and energon are scattered throughout the stages.

Playlists include:
*'''Team deathmatch''': Kill 40 opponents to win. Games can range from four to sixteen players.
*'''Deathmatch''': Kill 20 opponents to win. It's a free-for-all.
*'''Conquest''': Capture and defend several "power nodes" until your team gets 400 points.

Players can also set up private matches, where the game options and maps can be adjusted as you see fit, but they are invite-only. Hopefully, you've got a lot of online friends!
