Vavava: I think it is a smaller, but still a standout and interesting tidbit in the episode. While I agree it is not significant, I believe it should still be documented elsewhere on the page if you're alright with that.

'''After a surprise attack (read: diversion) by the Decepticons, the Autobots repair themselves in their regeneration chambers, only to emerge...EVIL!'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:AttackOTAutobot Megatron destabilizer.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|We're replacing the Autobots' personalities with Folger's Crystals! Let's see if they notice.]]

The Autobots rush out to meet a [[Decepticon]] sneak attack on [[Ark (G1)|their headquarters]], unaware that it's actually a diversion. While they're occupied, [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] coat themselves in a temporary "[[invisibility spray]]" and sneak inside. Megatron sabotages the [[Autobot]]s' [[recharging chamber]] with a [[personality destabilizer device]], before calling off the attack, leaving the Autobots bemused. After the Autobots recharge the next day, [[Teletraan I]] alerts them to the imminent launch of a rocket, and rather than protect it, they want to destroy it. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] obeys Megatron's first order and smashes [[Teletraan I]].

[[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Jazz]], [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]] find a spot in the middle of nowhere for Jazz to try out his new sound system. Bumblebee leaves them to it, heading back to Headquarters. Bumblebee makes it back first, and finds Teletraan disabled and [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] behaving oddly. Bluestreak forces him into the recharging chamber, but Jazz arrives in time to discover something's wrong. Jazz manages to disable Bluestreak. Sparkplug repairs Teletraan I, who tells them that the rest of the Autobots are now evil!

[[File:Attackoftheautobots2.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|HASSAN CHOP!]]

Meanwhile, Optimus leads the Autobots on an attack at the local [[United States Air Force|Air Force]] base, where they begin trashing military jets. Spike and Bumblebee rush off to the base to stop them, and Sparkplug and Jazz stay behind to work on a cure. [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], on Megatron's orders, have gone after the plans for the human solar energy satellite being launched on the rocket. They start chasing the satellite's inventor, [[Harding|Doctor Harding]]. Bumblebee reaches the Air Force base, but is unable to persuade Optimus to stop his rampage.

Meanwhile, the Decepticons take over the rocket base and plan to take the rocket and satellite back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. At headquarters, Sparkplug cooks up an [[attitude exchanger]] that will "First, drain evil. Second, recharge good." After he and Jazz test it successfully on Bluestreak, he starts building more. As Hound and Ratchet close in on Dr. Harding, Jazz turns up with the first batch and resets them back to good. At the Air Force base, Bumblebee continues to try to stop Optimus, who seems bent on destroying the smaller Autobot along with the planes.

The other Autobots find [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]], and change him back to good using an exchanger, then use him as transport to get to the Air Force Base. There, they manage to change the rest of the Autobots, except for Optimus Prime. The devices pacify Prime’s [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]] and [[Roller (G1)|Roller]], but Prime is still on a rampage. Bumblebee takes it upon himself to change the Autobot leader back and succeeds. Optimus gives him a nice, big hug for his trouble.

[[File:Primebumblebeehug.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Bumblebee, from now on, you will be a Hugmaster!]]

Back at the rocket base, Megatron and the Decepticons have boarded the reprogrammed rocket and take off. The Autobots intercept them aboard Skyfire. Prime and Ratchet detach the satellite while Jazz uses a "musical sonic boom" to disable the rocket. The Decepticons abandon it without any further resistance and retreat. Skyfire takes everyone into space, and Prime throws the solar satellite into orbit.

Finally back at headquarters, Prime thanks everyone for helping out, especially Bumblebee. But then Ratchet gets jealous and claims credit for firing the attitude exchangers (which was actually Hound’s idea. Hmmm…). Jazz reminds everybody that they have to fix all of the jets that Optimus Prime smashed at the Air Force base, and Spike breaks the tension with a lame joke that his dad finds hilarious.

==Quotes==
"My warning diode is pulsating!" 
:—'''Optimus Prime''' does his best to emulate [[Spider-Man]].

"Hey, come back! You didn't finish your nickel-plated knuckle sandwich!" 
:—'''Brawn''' worries about the Decepticons' dietary needs.

"Warning! Evil presence now infiltrating Autobot Headquarters!" 
"Very good, Teletraan I! The personality destabilizer I placed inside ''your'' recharging chamber has converted your Autobot friends from sentimental fools to my kind of mechanisms!" 
"Autobots are noble. Your plan can never succeed." 
"Oh, it can't, eh? Autobots! Obey my first command: Silence that annoying computer!" 
"Optimus Prime, NO—!"
:—'''Teletraan I''' displays some pretty incredible capabilities as it debates with '''Megatron''', right before Optimus shows the computer where to stick it

"Like, wow! Rock and roll with real rocks!" 
"It's ''called'' an ''avalanche!''"
:—'''Jazz''' and his sound system are a bit much for '''Sparkplug'''...not to mention a nearby cliff.

"Destroy, destroy, destroy! Let none stand against us!"
:—Evil '''Optimus Prime''' (No, it's not [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] or [[Optimus Prime (SG)|any other evil Primes]] you know.)

[[File:AttackOfTheAutobots Attitude Exchanger.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|One must wonder why these weren't used on the Decepticons to turn them good and end the war forever. Would Earth be too boring without evil Decepticons to fight?]]
"First, drain evil. Second, recharge good." 
"Let's hope it don't finish up with 'Third, bury Jazz'!"
:—'''Sparkplug''' and '''Jazz'''

'''Optimus''': Well, there won't be any more trouble, thanks to you. And especially to you, Bumblebee. 
'''Ratchet''': Especially to ''him''? ''I'' was the one who saved the satellite, ''and'' came up with the idea of firing those attitude exchangers! 
'''Sparkplug''': Oh, yeah? Well who helped you make 'em in the first place? 
'''Ratchet''': Why, you wouldn't know a microchip from a potato chip!
:—Optimus Prime's thanks to Bumblebee start a little round of glory-hogging.
{{-}}

==Notes==
===Animation or technical glitches===
*Optimus is missing his fog lights in many shots.
*As Starscream and Megatron prepare to use the invisibility spray, Starscream's shoulder vents are ''behind'' his shoulders instead of on top of them.
*Bluestreak is missing his Autobot symbol as he opens fire on Jazz.
*As Teletraan I reports Optimus's attack on the Air Force base, its voice is modulated differently than in the scene immediately beforehand.
*When Spike jumps into Bumblebee, there's no interior opening shown behind Bumblebee's door.
*Spike continues saying "Hold on, I'm coming!" even after he's already inside Bumblebee.
*Megatron orders Soundwave to "reprogram the main computer." Thanks to some recycled animation, Soundwave does this by strolling up to the same bank of computers that Megatron just blew up.
*Skywarp's missing his wing insignia as Megatron exits the computer bunker.
*Thundercracker's wing is sitting above his shoulder instead of behind it as he and Starscream listen to Megatron.
*Prime's trailer is missing its wheels as he pulls away from it.
[[File:AttackOTAutobots Jazz on Skyfire.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|And in this shot, his cockpit is too far forward, and too small. Not to mention the obvious scale issues, considering Jazz was comfortably riding inside him a second ago.]]
*Skyfire seems to gain more landing gear every time he touches the ground. As he departs from the Air Force base, his nose gear is ridiculously long.
*Skywarp is missing his wing insignia as the Decepticons fly up to the rocket.
*After Bumblebee saves Optimus Prime, a group shot shows Jazz missing his grille.
*Soundwave is missing his insignia as Megatron rants about the fuel tanks.
*Skywarp's missing his wing stripes as the Decepticons fly off. In the same shot, Sunstreaker, colored like Frenzy (!), flies off with them.
*Ratchet's "potato chip" line doesn't quite flow into his next line, which starts with an abrupt "Hey, look!" as if he was replying to a line of Sparkplug's that got cut.

===Continuity errors===
*How does Rumble keep from falling into the crevasse that he makes with his pile drivers?

*Flying Autobots:
**Prowl sails skyward a ''long'' time after he's blasted by a missile.
**Optimus and Ratchet just float up out of Rumble's crevasse. Both these incidents are in defiance of the cartoon's normal status quo, which mostly holds that Autobots can't fly.

*Was this convoluted scheme ''really'' the best use Megatron could think of for invisibility spray?

*Superhuman Spike:
**Sparkplug and Spike's eardrums are somehow not shattered by Jazz's speakers, which are loud enough to start an avalanche.
[[File:DrhardingG1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
*Superhuman Dr. Harding:
**Judging by the exterior shot of the lab, as well as the size of the parasols visible from Dr. Harding's window, she is, at absolute minimum, four stories up (probably much higher), yet she manages to survive the fall onto the parasols without so much as whiplash.
**She also survives being thrown by Hound while trapped in a dumpster; a throw with enough force to not only destroy the dumpster but also seriously damage the wall behind it. Even if the dumpster was filled with pillows every bone in Harding's body should've be smashed to pieces by the sheer impact.

*"Good" and "Evil" are apparently scientific states now, detectable by computer!

*Speaking of which, why didn't Teletraan I report Megatron's "evil presence" when he and Starscream were sabotaging the recharging chambers?
[[File:G1toon screamer megs invisible.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
*After all the fuss with the invisibility spray, it turns out that the shimmering outlines aren't just for the viewer's benefit; the "invisible" Decepticons are caught on film by Teletraan I. Whoops! And why didn't Teletraan I think to report this BEFORE the Autobots recharged?

*It's not absolutely a contradiction within the cartoon's continuity, but Hound's bio definitely doesn't identify his weapon as a particle beam gun. (That's actually [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]]'s weapon.)

*Ratchet's assertion that "Prime's a lost cause" seems like a bit of an exaggeration. Couldn't they just go back to HQ and make some more attitude exchangers?

*If the Decepticons could use a rocket to get back to Cybertron, why waste all the time building a spaceship in the pilot? Can an Earth rocket really make it all the way to Cybertron? (This seeming contradiction, and many other instances of easy travel between Earth and Cybertron, might be explained by "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]", whose events would seem to leave Cybertron in relatively close proximity to our [[Solar System]], even after leaving Earth's orbit. Whether the writers actually had this in mind, however, is open for debate.)

*With two hours of idle time before the rocket launches, why do the Decepticons wait until T minus 30 seconds before boarding?

*Tearing a door off the rocket ''can't'' be good for it. Why not have Soundwave just open the door?
[[File:AttackoftheAutobots Prime and Ratchet on rocket.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
*Optimus throws the satellite into orbit and it's presumed to be in working order. Even assuming that Dr. Harding was able to convey the precise details of the necessary orbit, Optimus either has an extremely powerful physics calculator or that had to be one heck of a lucky shot.

*[[A Prime Problem|As usual]], the good guy jet "catches" the falling protagonists by just flying under them, rather than matching speeds and actually breaking their fall. ''Splat''.

*Ratchet claims credit for firing the attitude exchangers, but it was Hound's idea. Sparkplug then points out that he helped Ratchet build the things to begin with, but there's been no on-screen evidence that Ratchet was involved in building any of them.

*It's implied that the Autobots are going to ''repair'' all 47 of the busted jets...but jets and air frames and avionics don't really work that way. Once they're smashed and exploded, they're pretty much "beyond repair".

*Teletraan I states that all of the Autobots apart from Jazz and Bumblebee were turned evil—that's seventeen Autobots and maybe five Dinobots. By episode's end, after Ratchet frets that they're out of attitude exchangers, only seven have been accounted for. (To be fair, there is an unaccounted-for period of time between the satellite's launch and the episode's conclusion, but if that's when they took care of the problem, why was Ratchet worried about Prime being "a lost cause"?)

===Continuity notes===
[[File:Bluestreakg1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
[[File:OptimusCDeckAttackoftheAutobots.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|"Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!"]]
*Gadgets and powers:
**The Autobots' optics switch from blue to red when they're evilified, and back to blue when they're recharged with good.
**We get to see all three of Optimus Prime's components in action, which is rare. This is the third appearance of the [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s interior cannon in the series, but the ''only'' time it was drawn to be toy-accurate.
**Prowl fires a Laserbeak-ensnaring net from his retracted hand. He fired a similar net at Ravage in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".
**Jazz deploys his (newly upgraded) speakers. They're loud enough to bring down a mountainside.
**Soundwave, in a rare moment, fires his shoulder mounted cannon at Optimus Prime and Ratchet whilst they are on top of the rocket.
*Prime's tech spec bio states that damage to his other two components can be felt by him. Conversely, this could be interpreted that the energy exchanger's effect on the other two components actually weakened Prime's evil state, which is why he started fighting it right after. That is, if you want to apply his bio to the G1 cartoon.
*This episode may hold the record for the largest number of "evil invention/alien device"s in a single episode: invisibility spray, the personality destabilizer, the recharging chambers, the solar satellite, AND the attitude adjusters are all contenders.
*[[Autobot Spike|<<]] '''Brawn vs. Soundwave''' Round 4: Soundwave flees without a fight before the onslaught of the mighty Brawn, forfeiting the round. Tally: Brawn 4, Soundwave 0. [[Enter the Nightbird|>>]]
*This isn't the last time [[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|Bumblebee would restore Optimus Prime's mental state]].

===Real world references===
*''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' sound effects:
**The [[TIE Fighter]] engine sound effect shows up when Prime says, "My warning diode is pulsating. Decepticon Jets!" as Thundercracker and Skywarp swoop down.
**As Skywarp fires, the sound effect borrowing continues; it's Darth Vader firing his ship's lasers combined with the TIE's engine sounds. And it's complete with [[Darth Vader]]'s breathing! (A similar audio gaffe happens in "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]", as well as ''G.I. Joe: The Movie''. Guess you can't be too choosy when you crib sounds from ''[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]''.)
**When Jazz uses his [[sound and light show]], the sound effects are two [[lightsaber]]s clashing.
*"Hold on, I'm coming!" A [[Wikipedia:Sam & Dave|Sam & Dave]] shout-out, perhaps?
*The first batch of jets the Autobots wreck during their attack on the Air Force base seem to be based (somewhat loosely) on the [[wikipedia:F-104 Starfighter|F-104 Starfighter]], while the second group look like Russian [[wikipedia:Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23|MiG-23s]].

===Trivia===
*David Wise reused elements of this story for the ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' (1987) episode "Slash - The Evil Turtle from Dimension X", especially the climax of the story and its rocket chase sequence. This was not an entirely unique incident, as Wise was known for [[David Wise#Recycle-o-matic|recycling his plots]].

As such, it was retroactively added to the series' official episode list as episode 73, a numbering reflected in ''[[Transformers Generations]]''.

The '''Monsterbots''' are a team of Autobots that transform into strange and powerful (not to mention monstrous) beasts. Among their other abilities, all three are capable of shooting a destructive stream of fiery sparks from some part of their anatomy in beast form.

As a group, they tend towards the rabble-rousing, trouble-making, order-flaunting, morally gray end of the Autobot morality spectrum. They've also been known to have a drink or two.

The team is composed of:
*[[Doublecross]]
*[[Grotusque]]
*[[Repugnus (G1)|Repugnus]]

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
[[File:Ringofhate-monsterbots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Out of character in their very first appearance!]]
The three Monsterbots were among the dozens of Autobots who joined [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]]'s crew aboard the ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'', as the Autobot commander sought to lead his people away from the war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Autobots planned to resettle on the planet [[Nebulos]]. ''Steelhaven'' was parked in orbit above the planet, and Grotusque and Doublecross both using their flight abilities to ferry other Autobots to the planet's surface. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

[[File:Brothersinarmor-monsterbots1.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|The Monsterbots fight dirty!]]
But their peace was short-lived; Scorponok's Decepticons followed them and waged war anew against the Autobots. The Monsterbots were subsequently among a squad of Autobots who attempted to stop a Decepticon takeover of the [[Mercury Gardens of Melanossus]]. Though they fought fiercely against Scorponok and his crew, the Decepticon Headmasters were too powerful. Grotusque realized the Gardens were being destroyed by the battle, and—over Repugnus's protests—ordered a retreat. The three were the only Autobot survivors of the battle; at least four other anonymous soldiers died there. The Monsterbots returned to the Autobots' swamp base and reported to their comrades, who were eager to avenge the losses. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

The Monsterbots, along with the surviving Autobots, traveled to [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}} Grotusque was counted among Fortress Maximus's top officers when the commander met with Earth Autobot leader Grimlock aboard the Ark. Doublecross was also seen among the participants in the great battle with the Decepticons on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. {{storylink|Totaled!}}
{{-}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{noteRG1}}
Grotusque and Repugnus were deactivated during [[Underbase Saga|Starscream's attack]] and kept in stasis aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], but lost life support when the ship crashed into the Earth for the second time. Sometime around [[1994]] their bodies were reanimated and lobotomised by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and pressed into service as part of a [[zombie]] army used to devastate the Earth. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}} When Megatron was defeated by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], all the now-inactive zombies were gathered up by the Autobots, thrown into a huge pit, and vaporized from orbit by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] aboard the ''[[Valiant (G1)|Valiant]]''. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}

===''The Headmasters'' cartoon===
[[File:HeadFormation MonsterbotsVsAbominus.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|Someone forgot to tell them it's water that puts out fires]]
Alongside the [[Trainbot]]s, the Monsterbots were sent to the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], where the Decepticons were enslaving the natives. They helped free the slaves, and once the Decepticons were driven off the planet, Rodimus Prime ordered the Monsterbots to stay there in case the enemy returned. They didn't mind, as it seemed like a nice enough place. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}}

The Monsterbots got new orders later on, being called in as reinforcements to fight the Decepticons on planet [[Paradise]]. Together they used their fire-breath to attack [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and destroy the [[energon cube]]s that the Decepticons had amassed. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}

Doublecross was later seen by himself on Earth, defending an Autobot energy facility in [[Miami]] against the [[Horrorcon]]s. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}}

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
The three Monsterbots and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] comprised [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team during the search for [[Metascan Alpha]]. The group ended up on a desolate moon, confronted by [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s. Ultra Magnus insisted they ignore the Decepticons and continue with their mission. They flew down to the planet below, only to find it under attack by the [[Destructon]]s, and engaged the new enemy in combat, only to find themselves quickly overwhelmed. Thanks to Kup's heroic sacrific, Magnus and the Monsterbots made it back to the moon, only to find that the Destructons had followed them there and were attacking the Decepticons. Magnus and Doublecross aided the Decepticons' retreat, leading to the forming of a truce between the two factions. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===3H comics===
A week after the [[Great Reformatting]] on Cybertron, the Monsterbots were seen staggering from the bar on [[Spaceport CSSB-16]]. Of the three, Doublecross appeared the least visibly inebriated. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1|Wreckers: Finale Part I}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
[[File:DoublecrossGrotusqueMaximumDinos.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb]]
The Monsterbots, led by Repugnus, were self-proclaimed outcasts who will do nasty, brutish and short acts seemingly for payment rather than for fun. And also for fun. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 2|Maximum Dinobots #2}}

Repugnus was incarcerated on [[Garrus-9]] for unspecified crimes {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}} and apparently served out his sentence.

Needing help from some unsavory types to fix [[Skyfire (ship)|his ship]], [[Grimlock (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Grimlock]] sent out a message to the Monsterbots. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 1|Maximum Dinobots #1}} When they arrived and didn't find him there, {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 2|Maximum Dinobots #2}}, they tracked him to the battleground of [[Fallon]], [[Nevada]] and merrily massacred their way through hordes of [[Sunstreaker clone]]s... while threatening that Grimlock better have something good to offer them for the help. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 3|Maximum Dinobots #3}} After some threats, Grimlock promised to give them data downloaded from [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]]'s ship, so they helped blast [[Scorponok (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Scorponok]]'s [[Machination]] defenses. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 4|Maximum Dinobots #4}} After the clones were disabled, Sludge was shot by Scorponok and Grimlock remained to avenge him. Repugnus offered the remaining Dynobots a lift away from Earth, but they chose to remain and help Grimlock once again. The Monsterbots apparently were good to their word because the Dynobots were later seen repairing their ship. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 5|Maximum Dinobots #5}}

Grotusque eventually returned to the Autobot army only to be caught up in an attack on [[Kimia Facility]]. {{storylink|Chaos Part One: Lamentations|Lamentations}} Doublecross was among the Transformers who repopulated Cybertron after the war. {{storylink|Night and the City}} Grotusque had also returned home in time to help defend the planet against the Shockwave's [[Ammonite]] army. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} After the battle all three Monsterbots joined the ''[[Lost Light]]'' on its journey to find the [[Knights of Cybertron]]. They could frequently be found carousing in [[Swerve's]] bar. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}} {{storylink|slaughterhouse Part 2: The Road Not Taken|The Road Not Taken}}

==Commercial appearances==
The Monsterbots were created accidentally during an attempt to create new Autobots. [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] raced to warn [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] of the accident, as the wild Monsterbots trashed the lab where they were born. Thankfully, the [[Decepticon]]s attacked just then and the Monsterbots burst out of the building through the wall to fight them. Rodimus expressed relief that, though they '''were''' monsters, at least they were '''Autobot''' monsters. Nice show of logic there, Rodimus.

{{factions|autobot|decepticon}}
:''Grotusque is an [[Autobot]] [[Monsterbot]] (and sometimes a former [[Predacon (War Within)|Decepticon]]) from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Grotusque-charactermodel.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|<s>If only Wildman had gotten to draw these guys in action... sigh.</s> [[Nick Roche]] is drawing me WOOOOO!]]
'''Grotusque''' laughs at life and everything in it. Why shouldn't he when nothing out there could ever be as frightening as his own reflection in the mirror? Still, Grotusque gamely laughs off even his own hideous appearance and [[alternate mode]] with a joke about [[Primus]] having had a little '''too''' much high-grade [[energon]] that day.

He's jovial, upbeat, and irreverent by nature despite his frightening exterior. To the frequent amusement (and sometimes annoyance) of his comrades, Grotusque can be counted on to fill the air with laughter and lighthearted jokes in even the darkest or least appropriate of situations. To their dismay he's simply incapable of taking ''anything'' totally seriously. Yet they have little other reason to complain, even if there are rumors he was once on the other side of the war; Grotusque's courage is legendary and he's a top-notch fighter. He's also quite brilliant at his function as strategist, with a sharp and analytical mind that's perfect for planning masterful campaigns (and witty quips). Fighting is fun, in Grotusque's opinion, or he simply wouldn't do it, and, in the end, death is as much a joke as life, so smile and laugh a little, and enjoy yourself while you're here.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
[[File:Ringofhate-grotusque2.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Not nearly as strange as making planetfall with a guy hanging from your tail.]]
Grotusque and the Monsterbots joined [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]] in abandoning [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], hoping to find a new life for themselves on the planet of [[Nebulos]]. Grotusque's flight abilities proved handy as the Autobots awkwardly made their way down to the surface from their orbiting ship; he arrived with a fellow Autobot hitching a ride by hanging on to his tail, {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}} noting as he did that the organic planet before them looked quite strange. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

[[File:Brothersinarmor-monsterbots2.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb]]
Conflicts with the locals made the Autobots' lives on Nebulos difficult, and those conflicts were only exacerbated by the Decepticons' arrival and subsequent [[binary bonding]] with a deceitful group of local Nebulans, including the pairing of Decepticon leader [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] with high-ranking official Lord [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]]. Zarak turned the Nebulan people against the Autobots, portraying the Decepticons as public heroes even as they raided Nebulos's resources to serve the lust for power of both Zarak and Scorponok. When the Decepticons attempted to take control of the [[Mercury Gardens of Melanossus]], the Monsterbots and several comrades attempted to stop them. They failed—not only did the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] kill every Autobot but the escaping Monsterbots, they also successfully proclaimed their heroism to the media for driving off the Autobot "attackers". Grotusque was the one who had to break the news to Blurr upon returning to base that no other Autobot had survived their mission. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[File:Totaled-goldbugsurrenders.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|"Stop talking over me, Goldbug!"]]
The Autobots eventually quit Nebulos and traveled to [[Earth]], where Grotusque continued to serve as one of Fortress Maximus's top advisors. He was part of a select greeting party involved in the first meeting with the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s crew. Grimlock was less than impressed with the new arrivals, and wound up challenging Maximus to a duel in order to maintain control of the Autobot forces. [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] was ultimately the one who battled the Dinobot on Earth's moon for leadership supremacy. The proceedings were interrupted by a Decepticon attack, and the duelists were forced to put their differences aside to lead their troops together against the attackers. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

Grotusque was offlined during the Underbase fiasco and stored aboard the Ark. Reanimated by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] as part of his [[zombie]] army of "Ex-Bots", he was used to devastate the Earth until the Decepticon tyrant was defeated by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. With the signal reanimating his body gone, Grotusque's remains were gathered up by [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], thrown into a huge pit with the rest of the zombies, and then vaporized from orbit. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}}

Grotusque and his Monsterbot comrades were called in by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] to help liberate the enslaved natives on planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]]. Their mission was a success, and the Monsterbots subsequently stayed on Beast in order to protect it from future Decepticon attacks. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}} There was apparently a change of plans some time later, as the Monsterbots were ordered to help the Autobots with a battle against the Decepticons on the planet [[Paradise]]. During the fight, Grotusque used his flaming breath to help topple [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and destroy the Decepticons' [[energon cube]]s. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}}

Ultra Magnus insisted they ignore the Decepticons and continue with their mission. They flew down to the planet below, only to find it under attack by the [[Destructon]]s. Grotusque commented that the foe was "really ugly", shortly before being struck by [[Bruton]]'s Confusion Club. The Autobots beat a hasty retreat back to the moon, where the Destructons began beating on the Decepticons, and Magnus was able to engineer an Autobot/Decepticon truce. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
{{note|In one of the extras in [[Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|The Dark Ages]] trade paperback, Grotusque is listed as a member of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s evil [[Predacon (War Within)|Predacon]] faction. This seems at odds with what we know of his personality, plus he never actually appeared in the comic at Starscream's side. It's possible this is a mistake, and it was meant to be his more unstable Monsterbot colleague, [[Repugnus (G1)|Repugnus]].}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
[[File:OP1 protest.jpg|thumb|right|]]
In the era of [[Zeta Prime]], Grotusque was seen among the crowd of protesters rallying against the [[Outback (G1)|Autobot cop]] who reportedly killed an unarmed [[Hefter|Decepticon agitator]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 1: To Walk Among the Chosen|To Walk Among the Chosen}}

After the war began, Grotusque was part of the mercenary Monsterbots team, who did violent work not for fun but for money (and also fun). The Monsterbots were called in to assist [[Grimlock (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Grimlock]], who was having [[Machination]] problems. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 2|Maximum Dinobots #2}} Grotusque helped by ''eating [[Sunstreaker clone|Headmasters]], god damn''. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 3|Maximum Dinobots #3}}

[[File:DoublecrossGrotusqueMaximumDinos.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Holy &#$%!]]
After the initial bout of Headmaster slaughter, the Monsterbots agreed to drop the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]] off at Machination headquarters for a final reckoning. Aboard their ship, Grotusque and Doublecross observed quietly (and slightly menacingly) as Repugnus negotiated a fee with Grimlock. The Monsterbots dropped the Dynobots off at their destination, while taking some anti-air fire. Luckily, the Monsterbots' ship was well-armed and they were able to easily destroy all ground defenses with a blanket dispersal of firepower. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 4|Maximum Dinobots #4}}

Their agreement with the Dynobots called for evac as well, and [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]], and [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] eventually showed up to be pulled out. Repugnus even offered up membership in the Monsterbots to the trio. But the three Dynobots eventually decided that they would stay behind to fight after all. The Monsterbots presumably left the planet shortly thereafter. {{storylink|Maximum Dinobots issue 5|Maximum Dinobots #5}}

A few years later, Grotusque had apparently rejoined the Autobot cause. Together with [[Cloudburst]], he was performing a routine security inspection of [[Kimia Facility]] when [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Cyclonus]] blasted straight through said security with a huge number of [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s in tow. Grotusque and Cloudburst rushed to Kimia's armories only to find them already infested with Sweeps.{{storylink|Chaos Part One: Lamentations|Lamentations}} Grotusque managed to survive Kimia's destruction and later participated in a battle on Cybertron against the invading 70-billion-strong [[Ammonite]] army. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}}

[[File:WordsHangInTheAir-Pallbearers.jpg|thumb|Well, at least it's not prison.]]
He would then join the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' under the command of the reformed [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] and helped bring on board a strange coffin they had found floating in space, alongside [[Mirage (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Mirage]], [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]], and [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]]. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}}

At [[Swerve's]], Grotusque decided [[Ten]] would look better with pictures of flowers on his chestplate. Some high-grade energon may have been involved in this decision. {{storylink|The Lopsided Triangle}} He was hanging at the bar again at a later point, drinking with [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]]. {{storylink|No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases}}

===''Wings Universe''===
During the [[Machine Wars (event)|Machine Wars]], Grotusque served under City Commander [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]] in defense of [[Uraya]] against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s clone soldiers. {{storylink|Termination}}

==Commercial appearances==
Grotusque and the Monsterbots were created accidentally during an attempt to create new Autobots. [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] raced to warn [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] of the accident, as the wild Monsterbots trashed the lab where they were born. Thankfully the [[Decepticon]]s attacked just then and the Monsterbots burst out of the building through the wall to fight them. In the ensuing battle, Grotusque traded fire with [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]. Rodimus expressed relief that, though they were monsters, at least they were Autobot monsters. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Monsterbots|Monsterbots commercial}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:G1-toy Grotusque.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Real monsters wear pink.]]
*'''Grotusque''' (Monsterbot, [[1987]])
:*''Japanese ID number'': '''C-99'''
:*''Accessories'': "[[Neutron laser demagnetizer cannon|Vaporator]]" double-barreled blaster, left and right wings

:Grotusque transforms into a robotic winged [[saber-toothed cat]]-like monster ''(and see Notes)''. Pressing a button on the back of his [[beast mode]] neck makes "cold" sparks shoot from his mouth, which opens and closes. His "Vaporator" weapon can also mount on his beast mode back.

:Note that if the toy is transformed into beast mode properly—as depicted in the instructions, and the picture on this page—the curvature of its back is so acute that the monster must either be standing on the tips of its claws with its head pointed down at the ground, or facing forwards while rearing up on its hindlegs in a manner that makes it look less like a terrifying monster and more like a pudgy gerbil trying to drink from a cage water bottle. Leaving the beast hindquarters partially unconnected to the forequarters (as was done in his original catalog photo) allows Grotusque a more "normal" posture.

===Generations===

*'''Grotusque''' (Deluxe, [[2017]])
**''Accessories'': [[Fengul#Generations|Fengul]] Titan Master, 2 guns

:First revealed at [[New York Comic Con|New York Comic Con 2017]], ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Grotusque is a retool of [[Doublecross#Generations|Twinferno]] that is based on his Generation 1 toy, and he transforms into an updated version of his robot mode into a poseable robotic winged saber-toothed cat-like monster. He was immediately available on HasbroToyShop.com, but was sold out in about 3 hours.

:Grotusque also comes with an additional Titan Master [[Scorponok_(G1)/toys#Generations|Scorponok]], a retool of [[Fangry (G1)#Generations|Fangry]].

==Notes==
*Grotusque's name is obviously a play on "grotesque", which works on the most obvious level as a description of how ugly and awful this Monsterbot is; similar wordplay was used with fellow Monsterbot Repugnus. However, Grotusque's twisted, many-different-animals-mashed-together [[alternate mode]] actually matches another definition of "grotesque"—that of the {{w|Grotesque#In architecture|same sort of fanciful monstrosities that were carved into gothic structures}} for centuries. See, parents, this stuff is ''educational'' too!
[[File:MistakesAndMayhem-Protectobotssortof.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.47|He's the team's wisecracking strategist, obviously.]]
*The patent application for Grotusque describes him as a "reconfigurable toy tiger", which is certainly one interpretation of his alt mode. [http://patimg2.uspto.gov/.piw?Docid=D0305255&homeurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpatft.uspto.gov%2Fnetacgi%2Fnph-Parser%3FSect1%3DPTO2%2526Sect2%3DHITOFF%2526u%3D%25252Fnetahtml%25252FPTO%25252Fsearch-adv.htm%2526r%3D368%2526f%3DG%2526l%3D50%2526d%3DPTXT%2526s1%3DTakara.ASNM.%2526p%3D8%2526OS%3DAN%2FTakara%2526RS%3DAN%2FTakara&PageNum=&Rtype=&SectionNum=&idkey=NONE&Input=View+first+page Grotusque's patent application]
*One of Grotusque's more...''bizarre'' appearances is in the IDW issues "[[The Possible Light]]" and "[[Mistakes and Mayhem]]", both of which are part of the ''[[Combiner Wars (comic)|Combiner Wars]]'' arc. In a hilarious error in ''both'' issues, Grotusque was drawn amongst the soon-to-be combined [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], replacing [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]], alongside fellow not-Protectobot [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]], who replaced Blades in the same panels Grotusque replaced Streetwise! This was fixed for the trade paperback version, but it's still utterly ''hilarious''.
