:''Drift is an [[Autobot]] and former [[Decepticon]] from the [[live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Drift''' is a commando of few words and many ancient blades. While he is not trying to hide his past as a [[Decepticon]], he would much rather just let his swords do the talking. His strength lies in both his mastery over his collection of swords and his composure in battle. Despite the dark times upon the Autobots, Drift remains calm, dignified, and thoughtful,<ref>''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Deluxe Class Autobot Drift packaging bio</ref> often taking time to practice his swordsmanship and spout haikus about whatever's going on.

Leaving the Decepticons didn't automatically fix everything for Drift, as he is still prone to manic bouts of aggression if he's startled or otherwise spooked. This makes him quick to try to stab whatever's the problem to death. Luckily, he’s taken up meditation to complement his swordsmanship and hopefully curb this lingering rage. After all, he considers his Decepticon self to be as dead as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

Teaming up with the rowdiest Autobots around may not be the best start, but luckily Drift gets to serve directly under [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], who he refers to as his ''sensei''. Knowing there is hope whenever the Autobot leader is around, Drift will follow Optimus to the bitter end. He doesn't think much of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s attempts to be Autobot leader, though, due to his youth and lack of warrior discipline. He is sometimes partnered with the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]] [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]].

[[File:AOE-DriftHelicopterMode.jpg|thumb|left|280px|Good luck figuring out what kind of helicopter he is.]]
Drift was among the Autobots who had gone into hiding on Earth after humanity turned against the Autobots. To his disgruntlement, Bumblebee took de facto command of the Autobots in the absence of Optimus Prime. Drift was overjoyed at the return of his ''sensei'', declaring there was hope after all. Though [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] cursed the humans as a "bunch of backstabbing weasels", Drift took pity on the humans, sadly reciting a haiku regarding the humans' betrayal. The haiku didn't sit right with Hound, and the two nearly came to blows before their attention was turned to the arrival of [[Cade Yeager]] and his family. Later that night, Drift sadly reported that they were the last five Autobots, and informed Optimus of Bumblebee's stint as leader during his absence. He couldn't resist expressing his distaste of Bumblebee's leadership and immaturity aloud, claiming that the younger Autobot brought shame upon the group. The two bots quickly came to blows with Drift gaining the upper hand over the "smartass". Holding Bumblebee at sword-point, Drift claimed to see right through Bumblebee's "puppy dog eyes" act, mocking him when such an act was beneath him. The mood soon was dampened further when Cade had Drift (in his Bugatti vehicle mode) project footage of [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]]'s demises.

[[File:AOE-HoundFightingDrift.jpg|350px|right|thumb|"Drift, you keep up those damn fortune cookie sayings, you'll be ''drifting'' into unconsciousness pretty quick after I get my paws on ya!"]]
Drift took part in Cade's mission to infiltrate [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]], providing some valuable intel to the human prior to the operation. Drift joined in the subsequent assault on the facility when the news came of Ratchet's brutal demise and dismemberment. Drift used his helicopter mode to lift Bumblebee through the upper levels of the building to rescue Cade from [[Harold Attinger]]. The Autobots soon fled once again, and Drift was unable to intervene in the battle between Optimus and [[Megatron (Movie)|Galvatron]] when the drone's missile fire separated the Autobots from their leader. When [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] captured Optimus and [[Tessa Yeager]], Drift infiltrated the bounty hunter's ship in Chicago with the rest of the group. Now behind enemy lines, Drift advocated stealth and a lack of violence, but immediately hacked an alien captive of Lockdown's to death when it startled him. Drift reported that Lockdown's dark matter drives were firing up, signaling they had about ten minutes before the ship departed Earth (nine minutes, worse case scenario). Drift went to free his ''sensei'' with Hound and [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]], and remained aboard the commandeered ship of Lockdown's with him and Hound.

[[File:AOE-CrosshairsAndDriftLetThemFight.jpg|310px|left|thumb|You've been waiting for months for the DVD to be released just to write a "Let them fight" caption for this scene. Admit it.]]
When the Autobots regrouped following the escape from Lockdown's ship, Optimus announced they would be leaving Earth and abandoning humanity to their fate. Drift voiced no opposition to his leader's orders, but intercepted a transmission from [[Joshua Joyce]], informing the team that Joyce was moving KSI's drones to their facilities in China. After Cade warned Joyce of the danger Galvatron presented, Drift assured Cade that their vessel could quickly race them across the globe. It was a spaceship, after all. Optimus edited his orders: while the Autobots would stay to retrieve the [[Seed]] and stop Galvatron, they would leave Earth forever immediately afterwards.

[[File:AOEDriftVsSentries.jpg|250px|right|thumb|"Why don't you just throw the swor-*dies*"]]
Drift later remained with Optimus and Crosshairs when their ship was shot down by the rogue Galvatron's Decepticons over Hong Kong. Crashing in a nearby valley, Optimus revealed his trump card: the ancient [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobots]]. While Optimus beat some authority into [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]], Drift followed Crosshairs's lead and evacuated to the sidelines to stay out of the crossfire. Though he was baffled by Grimlock's saurian alternate mode, having expected "a giant car", Drift was impressed to see his ''sensei'' take dominance over the Dinobots. Though Crosshairs grumbled about Optimus's dynamic leadership, Drift simply smiled and knew it was innate in their leader. Following Optimus's lead, Drift quickly mounted [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] and together they fought off many of Galvatron's army in Hong Kong, losing one of his swords in the process while fighting two [[KSI Sentry|KSI Sentries]]. Drift later helped escort the Yeager family and Joyce away from the city, but Lockdown intervened and nearly captured them all. Optimus, Bumblebee, and the Yeagers soon defeated Lockdown, and Drift was assigned by his ''sensei'' to watch over the Yeager family while he left Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

[[File:TLK-history-Drift.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.33]]
Drift was active on Earth as early as the 1860s,<ref>The left {{w|File:Verbeck picture.jpg|black and white group photo}} that was used and heavily modified was taken in 1867. The right one was taken around this time too by English-Italian photographer {{w|Felice Beato}}. Since no official in-universe date was given with the photographs in the film itself, the real-world dates are all we have to go on.</ref> working alongside [[Samurai Knight|another Samurai 'bot]] and a group of samurai in [[Japan]].

[[File:TLKDriftNoFear.jpg|upright=1.33|thumb|Three years have passed... and yet, I do not age.]]
In the years since Optimus left Earth, Drift took refuge at Cade's [[Junkyard (TLK)|scrap yard]] with the other Autobots. He had also taken on a new vehicle mode and updated his color scheme. Despite the stagnant situation, his spare time was spent practicing with his sword and doing meditative balancing feats, which were occasionally upset by the [[Mini Dinobot|Mini-Dinobots]], especially [[Pterry]]. He showed an equal amount of disdain as his comrades when the unscrupulous [[Daytrader]] showed up, even agreeing with Hound's suggestion to frag him. He was then left quite uncomfortable by Daytrader's description of what he intended to do with some hot oil.

Soon, the Decepticons and [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]] discovered their refuge and he fled with Bumblebee, Crosshairs, Cade, [[Jimmy (TLK)|Jimmy]], [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]], [[Izabella]], and [[Sqweeks]] to a nearby town where a trap had been set up. Upon their arrival, he discovered the TRF tracking device placed on Bumblebee and masterfully disabled it with his sword. During the battle, he and Crosshairs tag teamed the much larger [[Onslaught (ROTF)|Onslaught]], with him cutting off their enemy's leg before swiftly decapitating his "fat head". Drift then took on the remainder of the Decepticons with the others, throwing his sword at his former boss [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and helping force him, [[Nitro Zeus]], and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] into a retreat. Afterwards, he and the other Autobots returned to the scrap yard after Cade and Bumblebee left for [[United Kingdom|England]].

[[File:TLKDriftLastScene.jpg|left|upright=1.33|thumb|Yeah, guys, I'm gonna just sit out this movie I guess.]]
Later, when Cybertron had approached Earth and loomed in the sky, the Autobots saw that Daytrader had finally delivered on his promise of a ship, arriving with the same Knight ship Lockdown had used. Drift was quite happy and declared that he would pilot it. He flew the Autobots to Stonehenge where they joined the humans and [[Guardian Knight]]s as the returned Optimus rallied them to defend Earth. En route to Cybertron, he and the other Autobots were unimpressed with the knights, though Drift commented that they were "mean looking". He then cleared his allies for take off and wished them luck as he remained on board to pilot the knight ship. After the final battle was won, he and the other Autobots took the ship and returned home to Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

[[File:Htryd-chapter-3-drift-random-buttons.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|"Now my cornered friend, let me practice my Dinobot attacks on you"...]]
Drift and [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] had cornered [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] inside a barn, but alas, Drift had to learn how to attack with his Dinobot steed. Due to a lack of accurate instructions, Drift activated pretty much every button on Slug, activating everything but the weaponry. Some time later, Drift finally struck gold and activated the heavy weaponry... only to be immediately fried, much to his and Slug's disappointment. {{storylink|How to Ride Your Dinobot Chapter 3: How to Fight|How to Fight}}

===Titan movie comics===
[[File:Knucklehead is knuckledead.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"This guy has been brutally killed but I don't ''think'' it was us this time."]]
Five years before the battle of [[Chicago]],<ref>''Dark of the Moon'' has no explicit date but as Sam has graduated, it's set in 2012 at the earliest</ref> Drift led a three-Con team on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with his friend [[Knucklehead]] and so-not-a-friend [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] as his subordinates. His task was to capture an Autobot stronghold, which—to Knucklehead's glee—he planned to do by storming it, in attempt to minimise bloodshed. Lockdown sneered at him for being soft and advocated bombing the place flat, which Drift pointed out was ''why'' [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] put them in charge: so they'd have something left to rule. The three sneaked up the wall, surprised the Autobot guards, and with martial arts skill they disabled every one without a shot being fired. However, Lockdown tried to execute prisoners and when Drift stopped him, Lockdown gleefully took the opportunity to label Drift a traitor and try to whack him. Knucklehead backed up his friend and the two of them sent Lockdown falling into the fort's molten moat, swearing revenge on them both; Drift knew that he could never take revenge as long as Megatron was in charge. He then let the prisoners retreat with their wounded and was told that he'd make a fine Autobot.

By the time of Chicago, Drift had indeed switched sides and he was annoyed to be cleaning up ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' debris on the Moon instead of tracking down remaining Decepticons. Optimus was bemused that Drift was so eager to fight his former allies. While grousing that the ''Ark'' was their last memories of Cybertron laid waste, the samurai was horrified to find Knucklehead's corpse: recently killed by Lockdown without Megatron to stop him. Drift made a grave for his friend and Prime told him that they'd stand against Lockdown together. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Adrift in Space and Time}}

===''How to Ride a Dinobot!'' comic===
When Optimus Prime insisted the Autobots learn how to ride Dinobots, Drift and Crosshairs quickly managed to get atop of their steeds. Warning them not to get cocky, Optimus suggested a combat drill between the two of them. Drift charged [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] towards Crosshairs and [[Scorn]] with full force...only for the Dinobots to halt at the last moment and launch their riders into each other. But when Grimlock detected Decepticons nearby, Slug allowed Drift to ride him once again as they headed out into battle. {{Storylink|How to Ride a Dinobot!}}

===Toy bios===
Drift’s mastery of combat tactics lets him adapt his alternate form to land or air-based battles. They also enable him maintain total control over his circuits even while under heavy enemy fire. Whereas other Autobots are pushed toward overload, Drift soldiers on with steely tactical precision.<ref>''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Voyager Class Autobot Drift packaging bio</ref>

===''Kre-O'' cartoon===
Drift participated in a giant battle against the Decepticons... until Optimus began recapping the [[live-action film series]] to the audience. Drift had to interject a couple of times during Optimus's monologue to correct a few errors on Optimus's part, and punctuated the overview of the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' film]] by blowing up a pyramid prop. {{Storylink|Take Us to the Movies}} {{Storylink|Take Us Through the Movies}}

His general appearance is based on [[Drift (G1)|Generation 1 Drift]], his altmodes come from ''Age of Extinction'' Drift, and of course his micro-Kreon Mini-Con partners [[Slipstream (RID)#Kre-O|Slipstream]] and [[Jetstorm (RID)#Kre-O|Jetstorm]] hail from [[Drift (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Drift]].

:Drift (along with [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Blitzwing]]) was shown at [[Toy Fair 2015]], but no accounts of it seeing release in any market have ever surfaced.

:This unnamed polybag kit features Drift in a gloriously gaudy Hawaiian shirt and shorts, shark-tooth necklace, and killer shades. He also comes with a beach towel to chill out on. He uses the 2015 style revamped Kreon body, which is pretty much incompatible with older-style Kreons below the neck.

:How and where this kit was to be released is unknown. A few bagged samples have appeared on eBay.

* '''Drift''' (Dinobot Rider, 2014)
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

: Drift is part of the first wave of the Dinobot Riders and as such is designed to ride any of the Dinobot figures of the same line. He transforms into a small car that could resemble a Bugatti Veyron if you've got macular degeneration. He includes a small sword. His nominal Dinobot partner is [[Slug (AOE)#Construct-Bots|Slug]].

: Most of his parts were used to make [[Stinger (AOE)#Construct-Bots|Stinger]]. Like most Construct Bots figures, Drift's rubber ball joints can harden over time, which prevents smooth posing.

Drift includes a large sword as well as his ankylosaurian buddy, [[Roughneck]] who transforms into body armor and a crossbow and arrow pack. The stock photos show his legs missing the armor.

* '''Drift''' (Action Figure, 2014)
**''Pieces:'' '''10'''
**''Accessories'': Longsword, shortsword

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Drift is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. Curiously, his hands are in a sorta-[[Spider-Man]] pose. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

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

: Interestingly, some of Drift's torso detailing appears to be based directly on the [[Bludgeon (G1)|Generation 1 Bludgeon]] design first seen in ''[[The Transformers: Stormbringer|Stormbringer]]''. A [[:File:Hero Mashers Drift Bludgeon.jpg|preliminary image of the toy]] (with some different molding) was shown with Bludgeon's colors.

:Released in the second series of ''The Last Knight'' Tiny Turbo Changers, Drift is made of soft plastic and changes from a tiny robot mode to a small unlicensed approximation of his Mercedes-AMG GT R mode from the 5th live-action film, though he's cast in all red plastic so his car mode is red and not black like in the movie. His wheels are molded in place and cannot roll and hands can accommodate 3mm post weapons.

He transforms from a pocket-sized robot into a small unlicensed approximation of a 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R. He also features 3mm compatible holes on his pair of hands and his vehicle roof (although loose).

:Due to loose connections on the tab, his front vehicle bumper tab is easily undone with a press of a finger. Otherwise, his pair of legs is fairly well articulated, although it was used for transformation. However, he has some slight issues on standing up if his legs are not properly adjusted or straightened.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]] Premier Edition'' Drift is a redeco and ''heavy'' retool of the first Deluxe Class toy with new external car panels and the torso/head with some parts reused from the original Deluxe Class toy, and he transforms from robot into a 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R. The figure itself is turned upside down within the vehicle shell, as the front of the car now forms the feet/legs, while the back end now forms his robot chest. This also comes at the cost of him having a ''faux'' chest.

:In Asia, Drift and the rest of the Wave 2 Deluxes (though limited in numbers) were later sold at Popular Book stores in Malaysia, at a discounted price of RM89.90 ($21), though the price was later cut down to RM69.90 ($16) as part of the "Must Buy!" offers.

Unfortunately, there is no place to store the new sword in either mode. As with all ''Studio Series'' figures, he includes a cardboard backdrop, this one depicting the [[Junkyard (TLK)|junkyard]] from ''The Last Knight'', particularly the spot where Drift performs his meditative feats. Unlike the digital render, the final toy omits the silver paint applications on his arms.

:The set was originally available through [[Entertainment Earth]], but was subsequently also offered by other online retailers. In Japan, the set was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive.

He comes with 2 missile pods that can attach via 5 mm posts under the helicopter's wings or to the sides of the robot legs.

:He also comes with two swords, which attach to his main propeller rotor assembly to form helicopter blades in vehicle mode, and can store on either hip in robot mode. The main rotor assembly folds up to resemble his (unremovable) back-mounted daggers in robot mode. Lastly, he also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Autobot meetup in ''Age of Extinction''.

:''[[Robot Powered Machines]]'' Mini-Vehicle Autobot Drift is a small, non-transforming, [[die-cast]] car based on [[Drift (G1)|his mainstream counterpart]]'s vehicle mode. His robot mode is sculpted underneath the vehicle, and his wheels use through-axle construction that lets the toy zip around at high speeds on smooth surfaces. Thanks to his oversized tires, he can slide along rightside-up or upside-down.

:The intended ''RPM'' release of "Double Siders" Drift never came out. Though it was going to be recycled into ''Speed Stars'', the ''RPM'' version had more paint operations, including having his name printed on his hood and bumper. The only image of the toy comes from a downloadable poster that was on the official ''Transformers'' website of Turkey.

==Notes==
* Not counting [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]]'s battle mode, Drift is the first [[Triple Changer]] seen on-screen in the live action films, transforming from a helicopter to a sports car at will. Sadly, the complexity the movie aesthetic gives him means that none of his toys have three modes. Drift is only seen transforming into his new Mercedes alternate mode in ''The Last Knight'', leaving it unknown if he still possesses a third mode.
* While the original [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] and other incarnations of the character have had Japanese motifs, this Drift's appearance is heavily based upon that of a samurai.
*In ''Rise of the Dark Spark'', Drift's alternate mode appears to be comically large – the sports car is of comparable size to ''tanks'' found in the environment!
* Drift also holds the distinction of being the only new character in ''Age of Extinction'' besides the Dinobots to not be called by name, though briefly during the scene where Galvatron chases the Autobots, he is identified on KSI's satellite feed. ''The Last Knight'' later properly identified him on-screen.
[[File:TFGenerations2014 Rejected Black Drift.jpg|thumb|I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!]]
*A mock-up of a black redeco of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Original line (2010–2011)|Generations]]'' [[Drift (G1)#Generations|"G1" Drift]] in colours based on ''Age of Extinction'' Drift appeared in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014 Vol. 1]]'' as one of ten potential exclusives for ''[[Transformers Generations 2014 Vol. 2|Vol. 2]]''. This "Autobot Drift Black Ver." (placeholder name) didn't win the [[Fan polls#Generations Magazine Exclusive Character Popularity Vote|poll]] to determine which of the ten would be produced, however, ending up in fourth place with 12.7% of the votes.<ref>[http://millionhero.sblo.jp/article/101898683.html Poll results at Hero-X]</ref>
* Drift, along with Hound, sports one of the most drastic changes to an ''Age of Extinction'' Autobot, switching the Bugatti Veyron for a Mercedes AMG GT R in ''The Last Knight''.
* His Mercedes alt-mode reflects his original planned black & orange colors for ''Age of Extinction''.
* Before ''The Last Knight'' was released, people noticed that Drift's mostly black vehicle mode somehow turned into a predominantly red robot mode for the majority of his toys, promo renders & concept arts, to the point where black vehicle parts became red kibble. This had been addressed in the film proper<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://www.instagram.com/p/DCmyAzFTzqB|name=Tyler Scarlet|site=Instagram|month=11|day=20|year=2024|quote=In pre-production, he was designed to be completely red, but when they shot it on set, they ended up using an all black car with hints of red for him, so I got to go in and completely redesign his paint job on his robot form to better match his car form.}}</ref>, but late in production<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0XXGPw|name=Tyler Scarlet|site=Artstation|month=11|day=1|year=2018|quote= Late in the game they wanted Drift's textures completely redesigned. They realized that his robot form's color pallet was not matching his vehicle form the way they wanted. It was my job to go in and find ways to infuse more black paint with hints of red into his design.}}</ref>, meaning the toys were never updated to better match this discrepancy.
* Drift was the only new ''Age of Extinction'' Autobot to have an on-screen transformation in his debut film, though he only appeared in helicopter mode whenever he does.
*In a surprising attention to detail and continuity, after throwing one of his swords at a drone in the fourth film, Drift is still missing the blade at the conclusion of ''Age of Extinction'' and ''The Last Knight''.
* [[Eric Bauza]], voice actor of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Drift (RID)|Drift]], recorded the scratch track for Drift in ''Age of Extinction'', with some of his screams and efforts remaining in the final film.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/bauzilla/status/1588944377266999298|name=Eric Bauza|site=Twitter|month=11|day=5|year=2022|quote=Did you knowwww that I recorded all of Drift’s scratch dialog for the film!?!?! 🎞 Im fact… some of my screams & efforts are still in the film!!}}</ref>

'''Strong-Bot''' is the biggest, toughest, and strongest [[Go-Bot (species)|Go-Bot]] there is, and takes the form of the biggest, toughest, and strongest machines he can. He's persistent and determined, and won't stop until the job is done. He ''lives'' to build and no dream is so big that he can't achieve it!

{{voiceactor|[[Brian Dobson]] (English)}}
[[Image:StrongBot-Type.jpg|left|thumb|Dear Strong-Bot. How do you type with shovels for hands?]]

Strong-Bot was chosen by the [[Botropolis High Council|High Council]] as "the strongest" of the available Go-Bots to join the Earth's Go-Bot Team on their mission to help Earth.

When [[Silver-Bot]] arrived on Earth and created a hurricane near a [[human]] beach resort due to his reckless fun, [[Aero-Bot]], [[Speed-Bot]] and Strong-Bot were dispatched to save the people and stop the big doofus. First Strong-Bot towed a cruise liner to safety (by dragging it across shallow water), then dug a cave for the tourists to hide out in during the storm. {{storylink|Typhoon Twister}}

When [[Mototron]] caused a hubbub in the Arctic, Strong-Bot stayed behind at the Go-Pod to coordinate Aero-Bot, Beast-Bot, and Speed-Bot. He was the first to notice that Kid-Bot and Gas-bot were absent from the base, and asked the agents in the field if they’d seen them about. Sure enough, the pair had stowed away in Speed-Bot’s trunk. With the pair accounted for, Strong-Bot continued to help his friends from behind the monitor. {{storylink|Arctic Oil Spill}}

When [[Reptron (Go-Bots)|Reptron]] ran wild near [[Pyramid City]], Strong-Bot was the first to spot the renegade Go-Bot on the Go-scanner. He stayed behind once more that the Go-Pod to help coordinate the mission, notably complimenting Aero-Bot on some great dam-building to save a town from a flood. {{storylink|Reptron's Rampage}}

Strong-Bot was bestowed a [[Go-Shield]] by the Metropolis High Council for his outstanding work guarding Earth. His team then learned that a couple of Racer-Bots had driven off to have fun with their new [[Go-Brillium]] powers, kicking up trouble along their way. Strong-Bot once more was ordered to stay at the Go-Pod, this time to monitor the Racer-Bots at all times. Thanks to his quick thinking, the Go-Bots in the field were able to prevent any injuries during the mission. {{storylink|Racer-Bot Road Rally}}

===''Go-Bots'' online comic===
When [[Reptron (Go-Bots)|Reptron]] knocked a comet towards the [[Earth]], Strong-Bot stayed back in the Go-Pod to monitor the situation with [[Buzzer-Bot]] while Aero-Bot went to stop the comet. {{storylink|Aero-Bot Flying Fists}}

How ''you'' doin'?

Yo, remember the [[Wreckers]]? Dat mercenary team o' big guns? No? Fuhgeddaboudit. Eh, '''Rodimus''' used to lead them, 'till, I dunno. Sumpthin. But one day, badda bing, badda boom, all his Wreckers are dead, 'cept for him! Slag that noise! Joins the [[Autobot]]s. So let me tell you, this Rodimus is a smooth operator. He had a {{w|van dyke beard}} added to his facial superstructure a few cycles back. He feels it makes him look, ya know, distinguished or sumpthin. I tell you what, though, he's got his eye on dat [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Prime]] dude. Not that nobody doesn't know it. But dat Prime, he'll get his whatfor, and then? Our guy Rodimus will turn the Autobots into the greatest mercenary team known to the universe, ''capisce?''

Later he'll be takin' da name '''Rodimus Prime'''.

==Fiction==
===Fun Publications ''Shattered Glass'' continuity===
[[File:Rodimus goatee.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|You can just tell he's evil by the facial hair.]]
Though Rodimus bought into [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]]'s vision for a ruthless and violent [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he'd rather he be the one in charge. As such, Rodimus led a team of ruthless mercenaries called the [[Wreckers]]. The battle of [[Praxus-Delta]] would be their last; Optimus Prime hired the Wreckers to bolster the Autobot ranks, but every Wrecker save Rodimus was destroyed. Rodimus believed in little else but his business contracts, and so despite his heavy losses he continued to fight for the Autobots. Eventually, when a spot on the roster "opened up", Prime made him a member of the elite [[Seeker (SG)|Seeker]] trio. {{storylink|#Toys|BotCon 2008 Rodimus profile card}}

One day, Rodimus was investigating a strange energy buildup when he stumbled onto [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]], who he'd thought long dead. After gunning down [[Ruckus (SG)|Ruckus]] when the Decepticon got in Cliffjumper's face (and explaining his [[facial hair]]), he led Cliffjumper back to [[Great Dome|the headquarters]] in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] to reunite with Optimus Prime.

[[File:Seekersshatteredglass.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Does that make Rodimus Skywarp?]]
However, it didn't take long to discover that this Cliffjumper was not [[Cliffjumper (SG)|the Cliffjumper Rodimus thought he was]], but a doppelganger. As Cliffjumper lay in smoking ruin, Rodimus laughed with the others at his misfortune. The Seekers were ordered to drop Cliffjumper in the [[Rad Zone]]. This backfired when Cliffjumper fell in with the Decepticons, who quickly mounted an attack. Rodimus and the other Seekers were ordered to destroy the Decepticon armies before they could destroy the launching platform to the ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]'', a starship that would lead the Autobots to other planets to conquer. Ultimately, the Autobots failed to protect the launching platform, and Rodimus and the others were defeated and lay crumpled. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}

Rodimus was present at a pitched battle between Autobot and Decepticon forces, contesting who held the sizable fuel dump at [[Arch-Ayr]]. Things started to go badly for the Autobots with the arrival of the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]], whose members [[Dirge (SG)|Dirge]] and [[Thundercracker (SG)|Thundercracker]] managed to disable him. This failure was only punctuated by the timely arrival, and destructive rampage, of [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]]'s new creations, the [[Dinobot (SG)|Dinobot]]s. The Autobots were forced to retreat. After the ignoble defeat, Optimus Prime sent the Autobots out to retrieve the wayward mad scientist's creatures, theorizing that they still could be put to good use. Rodimus and Blurr rendezvoused with Goldbug and Jazz, who had cornered [[Swoop (SG)|Swoop]]. There he joined his fellow Autobots in insisting that Jazz climb the observation tower that the winged monstrosity was perched upon. The plan worked like a charm, with Jazz managing to weigh the flying Dinobot down enough that he couldn't truly flee. One crack shot from Goldbug later, the group had bagged their quarry. Just to prove what a swell guy he was, Rodimus let Goldbug and Jazz drag Swoop back to base. After all, he'd just received a tip from [[Huffer (SG)|Huffer]] as to Grimlock's whereabouts, and decided the ''original'' Dinobot was a bigger prize.

Traveling deep into the Rad Zone, Rodimus and Blurr found that they weren't the only ones following the trail of Grimlock. Blurr was suspicious of the proficiency Rodimus showed in tracking, but admitted he was mostly leery of a [[Mutant (SG)|mutant]] attack. Descending into the catacombs Grimlock had holed up in, Rodimus' greed got the better of him when he spotted a pile of [[Energon]] rods. Foolishly reaching out for them, he found his hand stuck in an invisible forcefield that was slowly drawing him in and eroding his structure. Blurr theorized that it was some custodial mechanism of the catacombs, and attempted to free Rodimus with weapons fire, much to his companion's distress. Agitated by Blurr's failure to free him, Rodimus pleaded with his fellow Seeker, only to be rebuffed. Changing tactics, he instead threatened to ''execute'' Blurr on the spot if he didn't help. This provoked a response, and Blurr's retaliation freed Rodimus, though he was in no shape to fight upon his liberation. This was unfortunate, as at that moment Cliffjumper and Sideswipe found the duo. About to have his chassis dragged out of the catacombs, Rodimus revealed that he had been feigning unconsciousness, and attacked Cliffjumper. This proved disastrous, as he managed to knock the otherworldly Autobot into the doorway to a hidden passage, sending them both tumbling to the levels below.

With Cliffjumper's jetpack smashed beyond repair and the stone of the chamber not yielding to Rodimus's blasters, it quickly became obvious they were trapped, the walls closing in to crush them. Rodimus theorized that there was a reset mechanism in the walls, which with his urging Cliffjumper was able to locate. Barely managing to trip the catch in time, Rodimus further surmised that the lack of wreckage in the chamber either meant that they were the first to trigger it, or that it had an evacuation system. This proved ''also'' to be correct, as they were sent barreling down a chute. As they hit bottom, it finally occurred to Rodimus what catacombs they were in, the chamber of [[Omega Terminus]]! Seeing an opportunity, he regaled Cliffjumper with the possibilities of raising an army of bots granted life by the enigmatic entity. The little red Autobot wasn't buying any of this, but Rodimus's luck held up when he found a bottle of [[scraplet]]s. Ever magnanimous, he offered his fellow traveler some, but given Cliffjumper's wariness of the creatures was able to have their healing properties all to himself. Score! Shortly afterwards, he managed to lead Cliffjumper to Omega Terminus itself, meeting up again with Sideswipe and Blurr. Rodimus again tried to sway them to his goal of using Omega Terminus to birth a new mercenary company that would beggar the Autobots and Decepticons. His sales pitch unfortunately was cut short by the arrival of Grimlock. Though they expected a thrashing, all were stunned as Grimlock transformed to [[robot mode]] and revealed a keen intelligence and newly granted ember! Rodimus tried to take advantage of the situation, buttering up Grimlock. However, the Dinobot saw through this transparent ploy, and quickly transformed, biting off Rodimus's hand. Grimlock then bade them leave, and when they refused summoned a shambling horde of undead Cybertronians. As the fight wore on Cliffjumper called for Rodimus to toss him the scraplets, which quickly devoured the dead metal of their opponents. Finally, Omega Terminus ejected all and sundry from the chamber.

[[File:Ratchetsgd&d.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|And at the end of the arm... was a HOOK!]]
Upon his return to base, Optimus Prime ordered that Rodimus undergo repairs from the tender hands of [[Ratchet (SG)|Ratchet]]. Much to his displeasure, he found his maimed hand replaced by a whirring [[saw]]-blade. {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

Rodimus saw his next chance when Optimus Prime was distracted by Ricochet's capture of [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], just prior to the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s launch. Feigning communication trouble as Prime set off for the [[Temple of Knowledge]], Rodimus proceeded to try to trick his fellow Autobots into believing their leader had given the order to launch without him. This lie didn't go over very well, so he tried instead to recruit them to his little conspiracy. Blurr was about to dismiss this as well and contact Prime, but Goldbug dissuaded him...with a blaster. After a purge of anyone deemed too loyal to Prime, the ''Ark'' took off for [[Earth]]! En route, the ''[[Nemesis (SG)|Nemesis]]'' caught up with the ship and staged a daring assault. With Decepticons crawling on the hull, Rodimus ordered the ship to make controlled planetfall, hoping to burn the attackers off. When said planetfall became ''much'' less controlled, the opportunist Autobot took the better part of valor and boarded an escape pod. {{storylink|Do Over}}

After exiting the pod, Rodimus successfully infiltrated a civilized area disguised as a sports car. Though not identifiable as an alien robot, he was far from inconspicuous and thus gained the attention of fledgling car thief [[Butch Witwicky (SG)|Butch Witwicky]]. The young ne'er do well was confused by a detail which Rodimus had missed in his disguise: a keyhole on the car's door. Thanking Butch and his brothers for the tip, Rodimus transformed into his robot mode and informed them in no uncertain terms that they were now working for him. Driving the human brothers to the wreckage along the shores of the [[Arizona Bay]], Rodimus met up with the rest of the Autobots crewing the ''Ark''. The reunion was less than happy, as his earlier cowardice incited them to draw weapons on him. Rodimus begged them to hold off as he transformed and showed them the Witwicky brothers. Goldbug regarded the creatures as nothing more than vermin, but Rodimus stressed that as thieves they were kindred spirits to the Autobots. [[Big Daddy (SG)|Big Daddy]] agreed, and with Goldbug apparently deterred for the moment they proceeded to the ''Ark''. Finding large portions of it flooded and major systems inoperable, it was obvious to Rodimus that the vessel wasn't budging. Though his reception on board the ship was cold at best, Rodimus' new allies proved themselves when they correctly identified what [[Seaspray (SG)|Seaspray]] had dredged up from the bottom of the Arizona Bay: a mind-boggling amount of American currency. Though a mercenary, the barter-based commerce of Cybertron had left Rodimus with no real concept of money, and so the Witwickys set out to educate the Autobots on the finer points of larceny. Rodimus began to see the merit in not ''completely'' pillaging a resource-rich planet, allowing for greater returns. Though Goldbug was still skeptical it could be pulled off, Rodimus revealed his ace in the hole by having the Witwicky brothers replay a news broadcast detailing a new defense satellite that had recently been launched. Goldbug chose this moment to pointedly question Rodimus's ability to lead. The mercenary Autobot asked Goldbug if this was a ''formal'' challenge, which his fellow Seeker confirmed by attacking. After a few blows the more fuel-efficient Goldbug seemed to be gaining the upper hand, until the canny Rodimus deleted his opponent's personnel file from the ship database. The ploy had its desired effect as the shipboard security mechanisms painfully detained Goldbug, his attempts to order [[Teletraan-X (SG)|Teletraan-X]] unrecognized by the computer. As Goldbug conceded defeat, Rodimus allowed his release and claimed a new title: Rodimus ''Prime''.

Rodimus and Wheeljack were able to infiltrate [[Burpleson Air Force Base]] under the pretense of the Witwicky brothers being arrested by the guards of the facility. Impounded as evidence, they were able to overwhelm the base from within once [[Blaster (SG)|Blaster]]'s diversionary attack was underway. Shortly after, Rodimus's human allies were freed by ''another'' Witwicky sibling, Sergeant [[Bruce Witwicky]]. The defense satellite successfully taken over, Rodimus broadcast on all human frequencies to announce that all human government and commerce would pay tribute to the Autobots. Soon, the Decepticons mounted an attack on the base to stop him, and Rodimus was frustrated by his troops' inability to repel the enemy, in spite of superior numbers. He soon found the control room he resided in breached by the fleeing Goldbug, apparently terrified of the diminutive Decepticon [[Frenzy (SG)|Frenzy]]. This proved to be with good reason, as the frothing little bot began pummeling them both, allowing the Decepticons' human allies access to the console. His control of the satellite usurped by [[Heatwave (Timelines)|Heatwave]], Rodimus was forced to flee the base as the weapons system fired upon it. {{storylink|Eye in the Sky}}

Rodimus was disappointed to learn that Goldbug had gone behind his back and built a [[stellar spanner]], which Rodimus believed would bring Optimus down on his head. Unfortunately the [[Agonizing Rehabilitation Chamber|AR Chamber]] was out of commission, so instead Rodimus assigned Goldbug to salvage with Seaspray. He then got the other Autobots to create a series of diversions while Blaster led the construction of a second Stellar Spanner. When the Decepticons unleashed a [[Blitzwing (SG)|new weapon]] on them which flooded their comms channels, even in the undersea ''Ark'', Rodimus asked Ratchet about shutting down the comms receivers in their heads, but swiftly changed his mind when it became obvious the medic wouldn't be particularly careful what he messed around with while he was poking around in there. Despite the racket, Rodimus was still able to answer a challenge to his leadership from the largely-unaffected Blaster. After banging his head against a wall a number of times, Rodimus sent Blaster to locate Blitzwing, and [[Beachcomber (SG)|Beachcomber]], who was also mostly unaffected because he was crazy, to attack the Decepticon base. The signal was eventually shut down, but Blaster went missing. {{storylink|Blitzwing Bop}}

On another occasion, Rodimus led a team of Autobots in attacking a new human-built [[Mega-Rig]]. Sometime afterward, someone started dropping barrels of oil into Arizona Bay, successfully getting the attention of Rodimus, who surfaced to find [[R.J. Blackrock]] offering him a deal. Though Goldbug protested that it was a bad idea, Rodimus had been learning from the Autobots' three human allies, and accepted Blackrock's offer. Forewarned that one of the Decepticons' pet humans, [[Sephie Beller]], had enhanced herself with Cybertronian tech, Rodimus got Wheeljack to disable her with a microwave gun. As they prepared to vivisect her, Beachcomber began acting up, which Rodimus took as an indication that they were being affected by a jamming field. Rodimus and his Autobots swiftly sprang an ambush on the incoming Decepticons.

The Decepticons captured, Rodimus instructed the firing squad to take out whoever was jamming first, so he could call the other Autobots up. When it transpired that [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] was ''not'' the one doing the jamming, the Autobots were startled by the arrival of Blackrock in his [[Centurion (SG)|Centurion]] mech armor. Rodimus ordered everyone to attack, however the situation continued to deteriorate further when the Centurion outmatched the Autobots, and the Decepticons began freeing themselves. When Ratchet sustained a head wound from Sephie, Rodimus figured they were beaten and sounded a retreat.

Back in the ''Ark'', Rodimus summed up their current position, then announced he was doubling energon rations, and a number of other measures he was going to take to increase everyone's combat effectiveness. Leaving the other Autobots to their celebration, Rodimus went to teleconference with [[Alpha Trion#Shattered Glass|Alpha Trion]], who had returned to Cybertron from his exile. {{storylink|Transhuman}}

He and Alpha Trion discussed their plot to assassinate both faction leaders as the final step in their paths of personal conquest, with [[Cyclonus (SG)|Trion's agent]] going after Megatron while [[Remote Patrol Six|Rodimus's agents]] took down Optimus Prime. Rodimus concluded the conversation by saying that once Prime and Megatron were out of the way, Trion would be free to rule Cybertron, while Rodimus would have complete control over Earth. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 3}}

When Alpha Trion's plans were routed by the incredibly powerful [[Nexus Prime]], Rodimus took an interest in him. He had Wheeljack prep a stellar spanner drive and jump dimensions to track the ancient warrior. Although Wheeljack failed to catch up with Nexus Prime, he did acquire some [[forestonite]] to help further their plans. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}

As with any evil leader, Rodimus had to deal with threats to his sovereignty. [[Jetfire (SG)|Jetfire]] in particular had his sights on undermining Rodimus's leadership at every turn. When several of the Minicars under his command went missing, Rodimus zeroed in on Side Burn the culprit. Jetfire kept trying to take control of the investigation, countering Rodimus's orders. Fortunately for Rodimus, his cowardice meant Jetfire acted brazen by comparison, and the jet-bot walked into a booby trap set by Side Burn, taking him offline and leaving Rodimus in control. {{storylink|Coalescence}}

[[File:FamiliarReflections new leader.jpg|thumb|right|upright=2.2|"Just thinking about all those people who said victory felt hollow when it was attained... what a bunch of idiots they were."]]

At some point, Rodimus came back under Optimus' command, his commander taking the lead for an surprise attack on [[Decepticon City (SG)|Decepticon City]]. Rodimus was once again known simply as "Rodimus". {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 65|Teletraanic History Record for Soundwave}} During the attack, he led his troops against the Decepticons, but called them off from attacking Galvatron, telling them that it was a "Prime's fight". When Optimus Prime had Galvatron on the brink, Rodimus restrained Galvatron, but Optimus ordered him to back off, citing Rodimus's words. Rodimus complied but quietly slipped his gun to the ground next to Galvatron; Galvatron proceeded to pick it up and level it at the Autobot commander... {{storylink|Memory's Splinter}} Optimus was summarily defeated by Galvatron thanks to Rodimus's scheming.

Following their particular devastating defeat, Rodimus was among the Autobots who retreated and boarded [[Sky Lynx (SG)|Sky Lynx]] to head back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Restoration}} Partway, their ride informed him that unless they lightened his load, he wasn't going to make it, and Rodimus promptly took the opportunity to dump Optimus Prime overboard and declare himself the new leader. {{storylink|Familiar Reflections}}

Back on Cybertron, Rodimus gloated about his victory until a new figure materialized before him... Nova Prime! With him were several other new Autobots, all reforged by Unicron from the those that had been cast out of Sky-Lynx. Without missing a beat, Rodimus sent his Autobots to dispatch the other new arrivals while he blasted the reborn Optimus Prime himself. But Nova Prime proved to be more powerful than Rodimus had anticipated, and with a swift blow Rodimus was hurled into a deep chasm. His downward passage landed him before the visage of Primus himself, who then spoke to the Autobot: the planet-god had use for Rodimus yet! {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

Rodimus returned to Cybertron's surface just as it began to reconfigure itself into Primus's robot form. This change caught Nova Prime unaware; confronting his former commander, Rodimus retook his title as "Rodimus Prime" and freed his captured troops, evacuating the planet. But when Primus called upon Rodimus for help during his fight against his "sister" and fellow planet-bot [[Gaea]], Rodimus refused outright, leaving Primus to be blown to bits by his opponent. {{storylink|The Future Buried...}}

In the aftermath, Rodimus was reported to have fled to the [[Skuxxoid Cluster]], a hiding place that [[Megatron (SG)|Galvatron]] noted was rather in character for him. {{storylink|Divination}}

After Magnus had swapped bodies with Optimus Prime, the Wreckers were met by [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] and a defecting Slicer. After a tremor from Metroplex allowed Soundwave and Slicer to break the Wrecker lines, Rodimus opened fire on the turncoat and [[Ratchet (SG)|Ratchet]] before Soundwave threw one of [[Drift (SG)|Drift]]'s swords, impaling Rodimus in the head and killing him. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}}

:''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Rodimus is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Deluxe Class [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Classics|Rodimus]], with a color scheme similar to ''[[Titanium Series]]'' [[Menasor (G1)#Titanium Series|Menasor]], using glittery-black plastic with gray and clear-red. Rodimus transforms into a heavily-altered black, purple, and silver {{w|Dome Zero}}. His rear-mounted thruster engine becomes a hand-held weapon in [[robot mode]], launching a spring-loaded missile. His left arm also hides a flip-out "comm unit" that is clearly supposed to be the buzzsaw his Generation 1 counterpart used for a brief period in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|The Movie]]''. The deco has a different pattern for the flames than his ''Classics'' counterpart, and also features a new paint application on his robot mode face to accommodate his beard.

: He was only available in a [[BotCon 2008]] at-show-only bagged souvenir set with [[Megatron (SG)#Toys|Megatron]] and [[Divebomb (SG)#Toys|Divebomb]], limited to 1100 pieces. [[Fun Publications]]' stock photography incorrectly shows Rodimus and Megatron with [[Rampage (SG)#Timelines|Rampage]] rather than Divebomb.

:This mold was also used to make the rather-similar-looking ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Gentei! Gentei!]]'' [[Wildrider (G1)#Gentei! Gentei!|Wildrider]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Side Burn (RID)#Timelines|Side Burn]].

: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' Rodimus is a redeco and minor [[retool]]ing of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Voyager Class [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Hot Rod]], transforming into a futuristic sports car. In vehicle mode his guns plug into his engine block, and then his buzzsaw accessory plugs on top of the guns; this two-layered accessory stacking is also supported on his robot back and the roof of the car. However, tabbing the guns into the saw creates stress on the plastic slots of the saw. Caution should be used when uniting and separating the painted silver pipes on the arms and legs during transformation, as the clips that connect the arm and leg pipes are small and prone to snapping.

: In robot mode, he features a new goateed head which retains the deployable visor gimmick. He features enhanced articulation, with opening hands that can grasp his Matrix (which does not store anywhere in either mode), and "butterfly" shoulder joints that aid him in gripping it in a dramatic fashion. His right forearm opens up to swing his fist around, replacing it with a "welding tool", while his left forearm does the same thing but reveals a [[5 mm post]] to attach his buzzsaw accessory to (or anything with a 5 mm hole you think it'd be fun/funny to plug on there). He also comes with two [[Fire Blast effect]]s for his exhaust pipes/forearm blasters.

: He was only available in a [[Hasbro Pulse]] exclusive set in the third assortment of the ''Shattered Glass Collection'', packaged with [[Sideswipe (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Sideswipe]] and [[Whisper (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Whisper]], which went up for preorder on [[July 22]], 2023, and shipped out in late August.

==Notes==
[[File:TF-POTP-Leader-Class-Evo-Rodimus-Unicronus.jpg|thumb|Technically not ''Shattered Glass'' Rodimus]]
* Back in [[2008]], Fun Publications was presumably impelled to name this character as "Rodimus" over "Hot Rod" because at the time, Hasbro had lost the latter trademark. Interestingly, despite regaining said trademark circa [[2016]], Hasbro opted to keep using the name "Rodimus" for the [[2023]] toy.
* Rodimus's speech and mannerisms are modeled after Vinnie Barbarino, the smart-mouthed teen-heartthrob from ''{{w|Welcome Back, Kotter}}'', played by John Travolta. This is, presumably, a roundabout homage to the fact that [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] was voiced in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' by [[Judd Nelson]], who ''also'' played a smart-mouthed teen-heartthrob in ''{{w|The Breakfast Club}}''.
* His goatee slightly resembles [[memoryalpha:Spock (mirror)|Spock]]'s from the [[memoryalpha:Mirror universe|Mirror universe]], one of the main inspirations for ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]''.
* When asked at [[BotCon 2016]] what exclusive toy he most regretted not being able to do, [[Pete Sinclair]] stated that he wanted a ''Shattered Glass'' Rodimus toy out of [[Springer (G1)/toys#Voyager|''Generations'' Springer]] (essentially a mirror counterpart to ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[Hot Rodimus#Cloud 2|Hot Rodimus]]).<ref>[http://tformers.com/botcon-2016-botcon-over-the-years-the-last-panel-of-the-last-botcon/28965/news.html BotCon 2016 report by Tformers]</ref>
* The [[2017]] ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' subline of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' includes a figure named "[[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#RodimusUnicronus|Rodimus Unicronus]]", representing a [[Unicron]]-corrupted version of normalverse Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime. Of significance is that this figure takes its deco directly from the BotCon 2008 Rodimus figure. His "Prime" mode even has a goatee! Moreover, early pre-release photos and display samples of this toy actually featured purple Autobot symbols, strongly indicating that the toy was once at least considered for release as the actual ''Shattered Glass'' version of the character. But ultimately, marketing consistency won out and the toy was released as an evil version of normal Rodimus with purple Decepticon symbols instead. Nevertheless, that needn't deter [[fandom|fans]] from [[repurposing]]. ''*wink wink*''

'''Optimus Prime''' is a bit of a shill.
==Stamp Bot==
[[File:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG|thumb|Truck stamp is cool!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Made by [[HG Toys]], Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.
{{-}}

==The Transformers Cookie Jar==
*'''The Transformers Cookie Jar''' (1984?)
:A ceramic cookie jar in the likeness of Optimus Prime's head. The top of Prime's head lifts off for the storage of delicious baked goods or Energon or what-have-you. The cookie jar was manufactured by [[Great American Housewares]] under license from [[Hasbro]].

==Collegeville Costumes==
{{anchor|CollegevilleG1}}
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Although [[Collegeville Costumes]] only released a small number of Transformers [[Halloween]] costumes, and made some odd choices for characters to depict in the process, Optimus Prime was an obvious choice as one of their first releases. The costume consists of a thin plastic facemask based directly on the Optimus toy's head complete with yellow eyes, and an orange and yellow plastic smock decorated not with the details of Optimus' body, but with his package art and the Transformers logo.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1993)
{{anchor|CollegevilleG2}}
:Optimus Prime recieved a second costume from Collegeville for their line of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Transformers: Generation 2]]'' line. As with the 1984 Collegeville costume, it consists of a thin plastic mask held on by elastic. Unlike the previous costume, the plastic smock is now decorated with the details of Optimus' G2 body, as well as having his name and the G2 logo on it.
{{-}}

==Vehicle Play Tent==
[[File:Vehicleplaytent.jpg|thumb|Both a big truck ''and'' a series of tubes.]]
*'''ERO''' (1984?)
:The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.
{{-}}

==Oral Care Station==
*'''Optimus Prime Oral Care Station''' (1984/85?)
:An electric toothbrush in the likeness of Optimus Prime. A battery-operated feature causes the toothbrush (attached at Prime's left wrist) to move back and forth. The set also included a cup for [[water]], an extra brush head, and a stand to hold the various accoutrements.

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Tfcaramel optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Note: Do not eat! ... the candy. The toys taste better.]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A small soft-rubber figurine (known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan) of Optimus Prime was released as part of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]]s. Like all the figures from the 1985 range, Prime came blindpacked, and was available in a variety of colors including white, blue, yellow, green and orange. As the name of the series suggests, he came with a piece of caramel candy.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A second Optimus Prime ''keshigomu'' was included in the second wave of ''Milk Caramel'' figures, sporting some broader proportions and more toy-based design cues like visible wheels, holding its gun in its left hand, rather than its right. This figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations; a baffling variant is known to exist with a ''Decepticon'' symbol on its left shoulder!

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''2'''
:The second ''Milk Caramel'' wave also contained a third Optimus Prime figure, largely identical to the second, except with its gun in its right hand, and holding its left arm aloft. Again, this figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Tfchoco optimusprime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
:A small solid-color snap-together model kit of Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line, coming packaged with small chocolate candies similar to [[M&M's]] called "Chocolate Dots". The kit can transform from robot to vehicle mode, though this version of Prime doesn't have any hands.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists
:A second ''Choco'' version of Prime was upsized from the first a little, and was given a pair of removable fists, the right one clutching Prime's [[ion blaster]].
{{-}}

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum optimusprime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists, ion blaster
:In addition to the small ''Choco'' model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

:This kit was reissued in 1997 by might-or-might-not-be official Transformers licensee [[ToonTown]] in [[South Korea]] (possibly, in a 2-pack with a reissue of ''Transformers Gum'' [[Soundwave (G1)/merchandise#Transformers Gum|Soundwave]] <ref>[http://fuwakudou.web.fc2.com/prisoners06.html One source] mentions obtaining two boxes of the ToonTown ''Transformers Gum'' releases with each containing two kits - the one numbered #1 featuring Optimus Prime and Soundwave and the one numbered #2 featuring Sideswipe and Starscream - but considering that none of the other (albeit admittedly very few) sources that discuss these kits mention a similar arrangement, it is possible that this was either a packing mistake or simply already-opened boxes being sold on the secondary market with two loose kits stuffed into them (the article does not specify whether or not the boxes they obtained were sealed, although they do look new-ish in the provided pictures). Still, considering how very little information exists regarding these releases in general, it will nonetheless be noted here that these kits ''might'' have been released as 2-packs at some point.</ref>), looking mostly identical save for a set of cheaper-looking paper decals.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 g1prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My limbs need to be horribly mutilated and rearranged to change forms!]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:The first wave of 2010's revival of the ''Transformers Gum'' series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.

:In terms of transformation, Convoy partially [[partformer|partforms]], as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 henkei prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|So do mine!]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/laser cannon
{{toydesigner|[[Naoto Tsushima]] (packaging artist)}}

:The second Prime figure in the 2010 ''Gum'' line was this kit of his ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''/''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.

:Much like his aforementioned G1 self, his arms also need to be partformed into robot mode.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2014_g1starconvoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|But not mine!]]
*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

:Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.

:Owing to the original toy's simple engineering, Star Convoy does not require any disassembly to transform into robot mode, making him one of the few non-partforming Kabaya figures. He does, however, need to have his Microcarrier wheel base detached (which was also an option on the original toy) to fully access a significant improvement over his older self: some newly-added leg articulation! The Microcarrier also doubles as a shield that can be attached to the robot's left arm.
{{-}}

==Hero Set==
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
:A large ''keshigomu'' of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Prime figure came with a removable laser rifle, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy optimus prime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
*'''Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
:Optimus Prime was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Prime was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1987)
**''Checklist number:'' '''31'''
:The Prime figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the "[[Decoy (G1)|Decoy]]" promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (31, in Prime's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1986/Autobot/Decoys/OptimusPrime/optimusprime.htm More information on Decoy Optimus Prime at TFU.info]''
{{-}}

==Knitting Pattern==
[[File:Transformers-knitting-pattern.JPG|thumb|Here to transform your sweater into something that will get your ass kicked.]]
*'''Wendy DK 3015''' (1986)
: Produced by U.K. company [[Wendy DK]] and designed by [[Joy Gammon]], this pamphlet contained patterns for two ''Transformers''-themed sweaters, one featuring Optimus Prime in robot mode, one featuring Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. The patterns were sized as Children's Large, so you're going to have to upscale it quite a bit if you want your <s>girlfriend</s> mom to knit you one.
{{-}}

==Vinyl figurine==
[[File:Optimus Prime Vinyl Figure set.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Vinyl Prime leads his decoys into battle [[Action Master|before the great storm]].]]
*'''Scramble Gun Set''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''Part.1'''
:Optimus Prime was one of several characters released by [[Seven]] and Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of different novelty sets. Prime came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four randomly assigned peach-colored decoy figures. In [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|"Part.2"]] of the set Prime is replaced by a vinyl Ultra Magnus.{{-}}

==Gold Convoy Trophy==
[[File:Gold Convoy Trophy.jpg|thumb|Thou will worship this golden convoy. Or Perish!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (trophy, 1988)
:A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] employees and as a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] (alongside the [[Chromedome (G1)|Silver Chromedome Trophy]]) in [[TV Magazine]] in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
{{-}}

==''Generation 2''==
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Dairy Queen promotion, 1994)
[[File:DairyQueen Optimus.jpg|thumb|Rare, in a raw chicken sort of way.]]
:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

:These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.
{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime Inflatable Bop Bag'''
[[File:OptimusPrime_G2_Inflatable_Bop_Bag.jpg|thumb|At last, merchandise for Decepticons!]]
:Released in 1993 by Kid Dimension, a subsidiary of Hasbro,<ref>[http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/hasbro-inc-history/]</ref> this 3 foot tall Inflatable Bop Bag featured the likeness of Optimus Prime above the Transformers Generation 2 logo. Supposedly to encourage kids to punch out Optimus Prime?
{{-}}

===ToonTown===
{{note|There's a longstanding debate on whether the obscure Korean-exclusive [[ToonTown]] figures and merchandise, allegedly released under official Hasbro licensing according to their packaging, are actually legitimate Transformers products or just bootlegs with fraudulent copyright information. Although there isn't a clear consensus from collectors and no statement from Hasbro on this matter as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, we have nonetheless chosen to cover them here for the sake of archival and posterity.}}

[[File:Midam-Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Maybe a licensed product, maybe a bootleg. Maybe it's in our definition of "toy," maybe it's "merchandise." ToonTown needs a {{w|Eddie Valiant|detective}}!]]
{{anchor|MidamIndustry}}
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a2|'''Optimus Prime''' (Model kit, 1997)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Blaster, left & right fists
: Notoriously odd [[South Korea]]n company ToonTown licensed the ''Transformers'' brand to model kit manufacturer [[ToonTown#Items released by Midam Industry|Midam Industry]], which in turn put out this surprisingly detailed and robust kit of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure. It is fully transformable and about 3/4ths the size of the original toy. He does not feature his trailer, and his weapon design is substantially different from either of his classic blasters.

: Three color morphs have been found so far: original red arms and torso with blue head and legs, a mirrored version with red head and legs and a blue torso and arms, and one with all the aforementioned parts in blue.<ref>Reviews for a [https://m.blog.naver.com/eoiipp/130144214329 "standard"-colored Midam Optimus kit], an [https://blog.naver.com/parang16/20041871808 "inverted"-colored Midam Optimus kit], and an [https://blog.naver.com/nckim/70101680088 all-blue-colored Midam Optimus kit] on blog.naver.com</ref> This suggests that the colors which make up the two batch of parts might be randomized between blue and red, and as such; an as-of-now undocumented all-red version might also exist. All of his versions also have their chrome parts painted in metallic gold, a common oddity across ToonTown Primes as seen in the previous LALA figure.

: The figure comes with a batch of rather weird stickers, with text on his license plate and the sides of his truck mode that refers to him as "[[gbwiki:Dump Robo|Dump Robo]]".
{{-}}

[[File:LALA-PrimePencilCase.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Pope Leo XIV might have been selected on the
day that this image was uploaded, but pencil case Optimus might be the holiest thing that I've seen all day, hahaha... I'm going to hell, aren't I?]]
*'''LALA Pencil Case''' (1997)
:Possibly one of the most majestically quirky pieces of merchandise to have graced any Transformers character ever, this incredible pencil case from ToonTown licensee [[ToonTown#Items released by LALA|LALA]] is generally based around the design and transformation of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy, but with ''a lot'' more than meets the eye to it: on top of being fully transformable from his robot mode to (an albeit rather flat) truck mode, he folds open to reveal space for the storage of several pencils and/or pens of your choosing, as well as including printed stickers for a time table and an address book, a drawer for the storage of extra school supplies, and a hidden thermometer that's revealed by lowering his head!

:Pencils can be attached to his shoulders to imitate his smokestacks, and his fists, which are removable for the transformation like in the original toy? They're erasers! Gah, how can an obscure, maybe even potentially fake piece of merchandise from 1990s South Korea have this much soul and creativity put into it! The fists can even be stored below the truck's front portion in vehicle mode, guaranteeing that you never lose them.

:He also includes a sticker sheet and a small 20cm ruler, featuring packaging art of himself plus ''Generation 2'' [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], as well as pictures of their respective LALA eraser versions (the one for Optimus coming right up).
{{-}}

*'''Eraser''' (1997)
:Another piece of merchandise from ToonTown licensee LALA, this eraser also doubles as a small simple model kit, with his large colored bits being the "eraser" portion and the remainder of the toy being constituted of grey plastic parts that are assembled together. He transforms from robot to vehicle and back by [[Partformer|partforming]] his individual components.

:Although the advertisements and aforementioned ruler (as well as the few copies that we know of) feature his eraser bits in pink, it is possible that he might have also been released in bright green, as other LILA erasers that also show up as pink in promotional images have been found with this color instead.
{{-}}
*'''Watch''' (1997)
:Yet another LALA product, this Optimus Prime watch "transforms" by folding out of its compressed half-form and standing up as a simple fully-fledged little robot. His chest opens to reveal the titular watch. Said chest, along with his head, have an unusual gold chrome deco (a commonality across a handful of ToonTown products), and the box art is painted accordingly to reflect this.

[[File:MetalforceConvoy.jpg|thumb|I'm expensive! ''(Metallic Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (1999/2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand

:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine produced by [[Time House]] sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allows him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands, and helmet, which probably meant for those who wanted to duplicate them with resin and/or wish to modify/paint them...you know how garage kit modellers do.

:Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and have an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.

As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.

While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey Spike, pull my finger.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002/2006)

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, Optimus is a [[redeco]] of the standard ''Super Collection Figure'' Optimus mold, with a ''slight'' [[retool]]ing to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae [[for safety reasons]]. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. There are a few other small deco differences to the ''Heroes'' version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.

: Optimus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him ''very'' similar to the original ''SCF'' toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the ''SCF'' version's chest-window light blue.

*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

: An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a [[redeco]] of [[Ginrai (robot)#Super Collection Figure|God Ginrai]], the double-armored-up form of Optimus's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.

: This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] with [[Apex Bomber]] the following year.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002)

:This second-wave ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release is a variation of the chase figure from the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the ''Heroes'' molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Optimus. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Megatron]].)

{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor), [[Leandro Sivori]] (painter)}}

:The first entry in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this 13-inch tall diorama depicts Optimus Prime slugging it out with Megatron. Optimus is posed as though doing a shoulder shove while holding his ion blaster, but a provided "REP" (Replaceable Exterior Part) hand allows buyers to instead recontexualise the pose as a spinning backhand slap. Megatron comes with a REP of a battle damaged version of his head, which features a detachable "helmet" to show off his exposed robo-brain.

:The model was limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, and came with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which allowed buyers to reserve the same number on their next purchase in the series. It also came with an A4 mini-poster depicting the same fight between Optimus and Megatron by artist [[Little IroN]], which was also sold separately as a limited edition A2 poster.

:As a ''Transformers Battlefield'' release, this model featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output put the kibosh on any further ''Battlefield'' models.

:Softimus Prime is, as his name suggests, a plush G1 Optimus Prime toy. Obviously, he has no problems with articulation and passes the drop test with flying colors. His main draw is the ability to "transform" into his Freightliner FL86 vehicle mode by turning the plush toy inside out, his transformation roughly similar to the Powermaster cab Prime's. He features Movie-style faction symbols on his right arm and both sides of his cab mode. He is love.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' 2-packs (sold under the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|2007 live-action-movie line]] branding), Optimus Prime is a simple, yet well-detailed two-inch tall figurine with exaggerated, cartoony proportions, with swivel articulation at the neck and shoulders. He is sculpted holding his Ion Blaster rifle in his right fist and his left arm in a pointing pose. He is also love, and demands that you pull his [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3#Notes|Finger of Doom]].

: He was sold in a two-pack with [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Robot Heroes|Ravage]], positioned in a way that gives an impression of [http://orig12.deviantart.net/b22b/f/2008/216/7/1/optimus_prime_vs_ravage_by_cobaltkitty.jpg him freaking out to Ravage's size].

==''Revoltech''==
[[File:Revoltech Convoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Windowbra! ''(2007 Version pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (2007/2014)
**''Series number:'' '''019'''
**''Legacy of Revoltech ID number'': '''LR-008'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand

:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Optimus Prime action figure, ''[[Revoltech]]'' Convoy uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create ''Revoltech'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Revoltech|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.

:The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).

:Unfortunately, ''Revoltech'' Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.

:In 2014, ''Revoltech'' Convoy was reissued as part of the ''Legacy of Revoltech'' line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.

**''Series number:'' 014
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Energon Axe, 1 pair of splayed hands, 1 pair of trigger hands, left clawed hand, right pointing hand, interlocked hand

:''Amazing Yamaguchi'' Convoy is an all-new take to the Revoltech figure above, but more poseable. Apart from the Ion Blaster, this figure comes with an Energon Axe accessory, and an interlocked hand accessory that is designed to resemble the haymaker that took down Megatron in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Unlike the first Revoltech figure, Convoy features painted-details-on-colored-plastic rather than fully coating them. The plastic is noted to have a hollow feel compared to the first figure.

:Due to production delays, the release date was rescheduled from September 29 to October 24.

: Released in [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch action figures, ''[[Super7#ReAction|ReAction]]'' Optimus Prime was naturally part of the first wave of ''Transformers'' figures. It is a non-converting action figure with 5 points of articulation (simple swivel shoulders, legs, and neck) and an [[Ion blaster]] accessory he can only hold in his right hand.

: It should be noted that despite being a "retro-styled" figure, the hard-plastic points on his helmet are very accurate to the animation model and therefore ''incredibly'' pointy, like, "would not be allowed on a toy for the 5-13 set" pointy.

: As with all releases in the ''ReAction'' toyline, Optimus comes packaged in a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]] ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' action figures of the late 1970s to early '80s.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Series 1, 2021)
**''Accessories'': Laser rifle, energy axe, stand

:Part of the first wave of Transformers [[Minimates]] from Diamond Select, this Optimus Prime is a 2-inch-tall figurine featuring metallic paint, 12-14 points of articulation, and accessories and body parts interchangeable with other Minimates. The Matrix of Leadership is printed on the Minimate figure's chest and is visible through the windows on the chest covering. Due to their small size, all 4 figures in each series are sold in the same blister card.

:''Minimates'' Optimus Prime was rereleased as part of a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2022 exclusive 4-pack, featuring more cartoon-accurate matte painted deco. The packaging for this set resembles a [[Family Home Entertainment]] VHS tape. Only 2500 of this set were produced.

:*''Accessories'': Ion blaster, energon axe, Matrix of Leadership, surfboard, jetpack, basketball, energy restraints, left & right fists, 2 open hands, right gripping hand, left pointing hand, alternate head

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Super7#Transformers ULTIMATES!|Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Optimus Prime is a 7-inch-tall action figure based on his cartoon model. He features multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands in different poses (or the obligatory Energon Axe), and his head can be replaced with an alternate based on the original Optimus toy.

: He also features a ''lot'' of accessories, more than any other toy in the wave, including a number of episode-specific ones: [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe's]] jetpack from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]", a ridable surfboard from "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]", energy restraints from "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]", and his giant basketball from "[[The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders]]". He also includes a miniature [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#ULTIMATES!|Spike Witwicky]] figurine.

: Preorders for Optimus Prime (and the rest of Wave 1) opened on [[January 29]] 2021, and closed on [[February 28]], with the toys purportedly shipping in winter of that year but not actually arriving until May 2022.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Alligaticon''' (2022)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Optimus Prime head; Optimus Prime rifle; Decepticon tower tip w/ arm; [[Battle taxi]]

: Part of the third wave of ''ULTIMATES!'', the [[Alligaticon#Merchandise|Alligaticon]] is a 10-inch-long non-transforming figure made to emulate the the Optimus-parts creature's cartoon model to pretty exacting detail (including the ''lack'' of detail on most of its flat surfaces). It makes ample use of multi-swivel joints to give its limbs a relatively wide range of motion, plus extensive tail jointing, a mid-body bend, some neck waggle, and an opening jaw.

: It comes with multiple "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]"-themed accessories, including a tower with Optimus's arm attached to it. The arm is permanently attached, but the hand uses the same wrist-joint as the individual Optimus figure, and can be popped off and replaced with his other hands if you like (Optimus's wrist-pegs are larger than many other figures', so sadly cross-compatibility is limited at best). Curiously, while the arm appears to be identical to the prior figure's arm, the gun is not, having a trigger guard the original version lacks.

: It also comes with Optimus's disembodied head on a ball-jointed "neck" with trailing wires. Like the arm, the head is the same mold as the original Optimus, but this time cast in clear-blue plastic painted over, with a small gap in the back of the head to attempt [[light-piping]]... but depending on the strength of the light, it might just shine through the paint. Since it's the same mold, one could theoretically swap it out, but trying to push that wire-mass back into the socket seems like it'd be a bit of a pain in the neck (wocka wocka!).

: Preorders for the Alligaticon (and the rest of Wave 3) opened on [[December 1]], 2021, with the toys projected to ship in fall 2022... and ''actually'' shipping in November 202''3''.

:''[[Kotobukiya]] [[Bishoujo Series]]'' Convoy/Optimus Prime renders the classic Autobot commander as a cute anime girl (formally termed as a ''{{w|Bishōjo}}''). Bishoujo Optimus's necklace represents the [[Matrix of Leadership]], while Prime's trailer and wheels are represented as her suitcase and boots respectively.

:''Bishoujo Series'' Optimus Prime also comes with an alternate [[Mouthplate|masked]] headpiece, and a red display base designed after the Autobot insignia. A Deluxe Edition release also included a B5-sized acrylic board for display, featuring Yamashita's original artwork of the character.

Aside from her hand parts and the two signature weapons, Optimus also comes with two types of faceplates, with two expressions for each, and a few front hair/helmet parts for each configuration. The rear truck wheels on her legs can be flipped down to form a pair of support skates.

:Apart of the line of cute, cuddly Transformers Plushies, [[Mochibots Transformers Plush|Mochibots]] Convoy (otherwise known as ''Optimus Prime'') is a 5.5 CM tall variation of the character, with Sunbow cartoon-accurate white pants and all! This Convoy is given a "Fumo" stylization, making the robotic detailing more rounded and soft, with stubby limbs and a cute, somewhat stern expression. Every detail is sewn-in, leading to him and the rest of the Mochibots line having a premium feel, with added texture and depth added to each detail. In addition to all this cute Convoy's offerings, he has a block of stuffed material in the back to represent his "Backpack", and a stitched-on Autobot logo! Though, much like [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Mochibots Transformers Plush|Cliff]], the Autobot logo seems to have a squinting expression, likely a limitation of how far the detail can go with this process. Like many other Mochibots, Convoy also features a special, reflective material in his eyes and windows, with light giving it a special shimmer effect whenever it hits it.

:Convoy was released in the Summer of 2023 in "Volume 1" of the Mochibots line, alongside Cliff, Bumble, and Convoy's Shattered Glass counterpart. This line was exclusive to China and Japan, with almost all of them being locked to Asia via [[amiami|amiami's]] digital storefront.

He is depicted as a human man wearing heavily Optimus Prime-inspired body armour and sports equipment, including a colour coordinated football, and is designed with the characteristic LOWFOOL facial features of a strong brow, squinting eyes, and moustache (not, as you might surmise, as a reference to [[Peter Cullen]]'s own face fuzz).

It consists of three pieces that can be interchanged with those of [[Beyblade#BEYBLADE X|other ''Beyblade X'' tops]]; an attacking "Blade" primarily made of metal, a "Ratchet" that locks parts together and determines height, and a "Bit" that touches the ground and determines movement.

:The "Optimus Prime" Blade features evergreen art of Optimus Prime on its central Gear Chip and is partial of the mainline ''Beyblade X'' Blade "Helm Knight". The Ratchet (4-60) and Bit (Point) are recolored parts from other ''Beyblade X'' tops.

:In Hasbro territories, a QR Code sticker hidden underneath the Blade can be scanned into the ''Beyblade X'' companion app. In Takara-Tomy territories, the QR Code stickers are omitted in favor of a Beycode Card packed with the instructions.

This allows him to be assembled quickly and easily without tools. Unlike Yolopark's regular AMK line, the AMK Pro line features diecast parts as well as light-up features. In Prime's case, his eyes will light up when tapping his head with a magnet. The feature requires one CR927 battery which is not included.

:The fully assembled figure resembles the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy 3.0 and features an opening Matrix chamber and fully articulated hands, eliminating the need for alternate hands. Both the ion blaster and Megatron gun can be wielded by his hands, though removing the stalk from the Megatron gun makes this much easier.

:The figure was redecoed into Nemesis Prime.

:Released in the first wave of ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Optimus Prime is a roughly 4-inch tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Autobot leader. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Prime has a pull rate of 1 in every 12 boxes, or three times across four cases.

:Prime comes with a pair of closed and open hands, along with a left hand molded in a pointing position exclusive to this figure. He also comes with his trademark Ion Blaster and Energon axe weapons—the former can be plugged into the closed hands, and the latter can be plugged into either wrist. The barrel of the Ion Blaster is compatible with the blast effects included with Ironhide, Megatron, and Skywarp. He also has a stand with four studs on top, which he can plug into and connect to similar stands. Optimus can also accommodate the jetpack included with Sideswipe, which was released as part of the ''Shining Version'' lineup.

:If one chooses, Prime's inner shoulder parts and elbow joints can be swapped with the red-colored pieces from the same lineup to create a more cartoon-accurate coloration.

:This chase variant of the above toy-style mold is, like the ''Galaxy Version'', redecoed into metallic colors along with more toy-accurate tampographs and retains the same accessories. The eye and window pieces are now molded with orange-ish red translucent plastic instead of blue.

:*''Series:'' '''Shining Version 03 - Shattered Universe'''
:*''Accessories:'' 2 pairs of hands (fists/accessory-holding, splayed open-palm), Gun, figure stand

:The third wave of the ''Shining Version'' series introduced a new mold styled after his Orion Pax appearance in ''IDW Publishing'''s "Spotlight Orion Pax" comic. As with later Galaxy Version kits since Wave 5, Orion features sturdier pre-assembled hinge joints.

:Since Orion's chin is slightly too long, fully inserting the ball joint may cause his head to ''slightly'' look upwards. To prevent this, insert the ball joint into Orion's head socket first, and then attach it to the torso frame's peg hole until you feel the friction between the joint and the hole without fully inserting it.

:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs. While an incorrect knee joint assembly may cause it to very slightly lean when standing straight or in an A-stance, an incorrect elbow assembly won't be noticeably affected unless you're looking very closely.

:The "Action Edition" Optimus Prime is a 7-inch (approx 18cm) model kit with a slightly more complex build and features an inner frame (equivalent to the ones used for ''Bandai'''s "Master/Perfect/Real Grade" kits) with greater articulation points than his other ''Galaxy Version'' toys. In addition to his two signature weapons, the removable Matrix of Leadership, and the jetpack, Optimus also comes with a hologram readout and wrist comm pieces to attach to the left forearm, with each of those parts featuring two different types of stickers. The articulated hands also feature two additional index fingers, a straight pointing piece, and a slightly curved piece for the Ion Blaster's trigger. A magnetic component in his display stand's faction symbol activates the light-up features that illuminate his eyes and the Matrix. An additional sticker sheet and extra yellow-colored eye parts can be used to create a toy-accurate version of this kit.

:If one chooses, the middle-to-pinky fingers ''can'' be (carefully) sliced into individual pieces as they also feature individual ball joints for each finger.

He also comes with additional accessories, such as the Energon Axe, Megatron's pistol form, a jetpack with two Blast effects (also compatible with the Ion Blaster), an additional pair of interchangeable communication panels, and four extra pairs of hands that need trimming from their runners. Additionally, Optimus includes retooled areas and newly molded parts, such as a new neck joint that allows him to look up further, an opening chest window that grants access to his Matrix Chamber, and a display stand with an adjustable posing arm that plugs into multiple holes on his back and the soles of his feet for midair action poses.

:Optimus is also compatible with the Seeker-based back and the head from the same entry's Starscream, recreating the latter's disguise in [[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]].

{{suite}}

'''Optimus Prime''' is a bit of a shill.
==Stamp Bot==
[[File:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG|thumb|Truck stamp is cool!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Made by [[HG Toys]], Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.
{{-}}

==The Transformers Cookie Jar==
*'''The Transformers Cookie Jar''' (1984?)
:A ceramic cookie jar in the likeness of Optimus Prime's head. The top of Prime's head lifts off for the storage of delicious baked goods or Energon or what-have-you. The cookie jar was manufactured by [[Great American Housewares]] under license from [[Hasbro]].

==Collegeville Costumes==
{{anchor|CollegevilleG1}}
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Although [[Collegeville Costumes]] only released a small number of Transformers [[Halloween]] costumes, and made some odd choices for characters to depict in the process, Optimus Prime was an obvious choice as one of their first releases. The costume consists of a thin plastic facemask based directly on the Optimus toy's head complete with yellow eyes, and an orange and yellow plastic smock decorated not with the details of Optimus' body, but with his package art and the Transformers logo.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1993)
{{anchor|CollegevilleG2}}
:Optimus Prime recieved a second costume from Collegeville for their line of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Transformers: Generation 2]]'' line. As with the 1984 Collegeville costume, it consists of a thin plastic mask held on by elastic. Unlike the previous costume, the plastic smock is now decorated with the details of Optimus' G2 body, as well as having his name and the G2 logo on it.

==Vehicle Play Tent==
[[File:Vehicleplaytent.jpg|thumb|Both a big truck ''and'' a series of tubes.]]
*'''ERO''' (1984?)
:The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.
{{-}}

==Oral Care Station==
*'''Optimus Prime Oral Care Station''' (1984/85?)
:An electric toothbrush in the likeness of Optimus Prime. A battery-operated feature causes the toothbrush (attached at Prime's left wrist) to move back and forth. The set also included a cup for [[water]], an extra brush head, and a stand to hold the various accoutrements.

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Tfcaramel optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Note: Do not eat! ... the candy. The toys taste better.]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A small soft-rubber figurine (known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan) of Optimus Prime was released as part of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]]s. Like all the figures from the 1985 range, Prime came blindpacked, and was available in a variety of colors including white, blue, yellow, green and orange. As the name of the series suggests, he came with a piece of caramel candy.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A second Optimus Prime ''keshigomu'' was included in the second wave of ''Milk Caramel'' figures, sporting some broader proportions and more toy-based design cues like visible wheels, holding its gun in its left hand, rather than its right. This figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations; a baffling variant is known to exist with a ''Decepticon'' symbol on its left shoulder!

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''2'''
:The second ''Milk Caramel'' wave also contained a third Optimus Prime figure, largely identical to the second, except with its gun in its right hand, and holding its left arm aloft. Again, this figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Tfchoco optimusprime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
:A small solid-color snap-together model kit of Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line, coming packaged with small chocolate candies similar to [[M&M's]] called "Chocolate Dots". The kit can transform from robot to vehicle mode, though this version of Prime doesn't have any hands.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists
:A second ''Choco'' version of Prime was upsized from the first a little, and was given a pair of removable fists, the right one clutching Prime's [[ion blaster]].
{{-}}

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum optimusprime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists, ion blaster
:In addition to the small ''Choco'' model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

:This kit was reissued in 1997 by might-or-might-not-be official Transformers licensee [[ToonTown]] in [[South Korea]] (possibly, in a 2-pack with a reissue of ''Transformers Gum'' [[Soundwave (G1)/merchandise#Transformers Gum|Soundwave]] <ref>[http://fuwakudou.web.fc2.com/prisoners06.html One source] mentions obtaining two boxes of the ToonTown ''Transformers Gum'' releases with each containing two kits - the one numbered #1 featuring Optimus Prime and Soundwave and the one numbered #2 featuring Sideswipe and Starscream - but considering that none of the other (albeit admittedly very few) sources that discuss these kits mention a similar arrangement, it is possible that this was either a packing mistake or simply already-opened boxes being sold on the secondary market with two loose kits stuffed into them (the article does not specify whether or not the boxes they obtained were sealed, although they do look new-ish in the provided pictures). Still, considering how very little information exists regarding these releases in general, it will nonetheless be noted here that these kits ''might'' have been released as 2-packs at some point.</ref>), looking mostly identical save for a set of cheaper-looking paper decals.

[[File:Tfgum2010 g1prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My limbs need to be horribly mutilated and rearranged to change forms!]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:The first wave of 2010's revival of the ''Transformers Gum'' series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.

:In terms of transformation, Convoy partially [[partformer|partforms]], as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.

*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/laser cannon
{{toydesigner|[[Naoto Tsushima]] (packaging artist)}}

:The second Prime figure in the 2010 ''Gum'' line was this kit of his ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''/''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.

:Much like his aforementioned G1 self, his arms also need to be partformed into robot mode.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2014_g1starconvoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|But not mine!]]
*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

:Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.

:Owing to the original toy's simple engineering, Star Convoy does not require any disassembly to transform into robot mode, making him one of the few non-partforming Kabaya figures. He does, however, need to have his Microcarrier wheel base detached (which was also an option on the original toy) to fully access a significant improvement over his older self: some newly-added leg articulation! The Microcarrier also doubles as a shield that can be attached to the robot's left arm.
{{-}}

==Hero Set==
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
:A large ''keshigomu'' of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Prime figure came with a removable laser rifle, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy optimus prime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
*'''Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
:Optimus Prime was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Prime was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1987)
**''Checklist number:'' '''31'''
:The Prime figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the "[[Decoy (G1)|Decoy]]" promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (31, in Prime's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

==Knitting Pattern==
[[File:Transformers-knitting-pattern.JPG|thumb|Here to transform your sweater into something that will get your ass kicked.]]
*'''Wendy DK 3015''' (1986)
: Produced by U.K. company [[Wendy DK]] and designed by [[Joy Gammon]], this pamphlet contained patterns for two ''Transformers''-themed sweaters, one featuring Optimus Prime in robot mode, one featuring Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. The patterns were sized as Children's Large, so you're going to have to upscale it quite a bit if you want your <s>girlfriend</s> mom to knit you one.

==Vinyl figurine==
[[File:Optimus Prime Vinyl Figure set.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Vinyl Prime leads his decoys into battle [[Action Master|before the great storm]].]]
*'''Scramble Gun Set''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''Part.1'''
:Optimus Prime was one of several characters released by [[Seven]] and Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of different novelty sets. Prime came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four randomly assigned peach-colored decoy figures. In [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|"Part.2"]] of the set Prime is replaced by a vinyl Ultra Magnus.{{-}}

==Gold Convoy Trophy==
[[File:Gold Convoy Trophy.jpg|thumb|Thou will worship this golden convoy. Or Perish!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (trophy, 1988)
:A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] employees and as a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] (alongside the [[Chromedome (G1)|Silver Chromedome Trophy]]) in [[TV Magazine]] in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
{{-}}

==''Generation 2''==
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Dairy Queen promotion, 1994)
[[File:DairyQueen Optimus.jpg|thumb|Rare, in a raw chicken sort of way.]]
:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

:These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.
{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime Inflatable Bop Bag'''
[[File:OptimusPrime_G2_Inflatable_Bop_Bag.jpg|thumb|At last, merchandise for Decepticons!]]
:Released in 1993 by Kid Dimension, a subsidiary of Hasbro,<ref>[http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/hasbro-inc-history/]</ref> this 3 foot tall Inflatable Bop Bag featured the likeness of Optimus Prime above the Transformers Generation 2 logo. Supposedly to encourage kids to punch out Optimus Prime?

{{note|There's a longstanding debate on whether the obscure Korean-exclusive [[ToonTown]] figures and merchandise, allegedly released under official Hasbro licensing according to their packaging, are actually legitimate Transformers products or just bootlegs with fraudulent copyright information. Although there isn't a clear consensus from collectors and no statement from Hasbro on this matter as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, we have nonetheless chosen to cover them here for the sake of archival and posterity.}}

[[File:Midam-Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Maybe a licensed product, maybe a bootleg. Maybe it's in our definition of "toy," maybe it's "merchandise." ToonTown needs a {{w|Eddie Valiant|detective}}!]]

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a2|'''Optimus Prime''' (Model kit, 1997)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Blaster, left & right fists
: Notoriously odd [[South Korea]]n company ToonTown licensed the ''Transformers'' brand to model kit manufacturer [[ToonTown#Items released by Midam Industry|Midam Industry]], which in turn put out this surprisingly detailed and robust kit of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure. It is fully transformable and about 3/4ths the size of the original toy. He does not feature his trailer, and his weapon design is substantially different from either of his classic blasters.

: Three color morphs have been found so far: original red arms and torso with blue head and legs, a mirrored version with red head and legs and a blue torso and arms, and one with all the aforementioned parts in blue.<ref>Reviews for a [https://m.blog.naver.com/eoiipp/130144214329 "standard"-colored Midam Optimus kit], an [https://blog.naver.com/parang16/20041871808 "inverted"-colored Midam Optimus kit], and an [https://blog.naver.com/nckim/70101680088 all-blue-colored Midam Optimus kit] on blog.naver.com</ref> This suggests that the colors which make up the two batch of parts might be randomized between blue and red, and as such; an as-of-now undocumented all-red version might also exist. All of his versions also have their chrome parts painted in metallic gold, a common oddity across ToonTown Primes as seen in the previous LALA figure.

: The figure comes with a batch of rather weird stickers, with text on his license plate and the sides of his truck mode that refers to him as "[[gbwiki:Dump Robo|Dump Robo]]".

*'''LALA Pencil Case''' (1997)
:Possibly one of the most majestically quirky pieces of merchandise to have graced any Transformers character ever, this incredible pencil case from ToonTown licensee [[ToonTown#Items released by LALA|LALA]] is generally based around the design and transformation of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy, but with ''a lot'' more than meets the eye to it: on top of being fully transformable from his robot mode to (an albeit rather flat) truck mode, he folds open to reveal space for the storage of several pencils and/or pens of your choosing, as well as including printed stickers for a time table and an address book, a drawer for the storage of extra school supplies, and a hidden thermometer that's revealed by lowering his head!

:Pencils can be attached to his shoulders to imitate his smokestacks, and his fists, which are removable for the transformation like in the original toy? They're erasers! Gah, how can an obscure, maybe even potentially fake piece of merchandise from 1990s South Korea have this much soul and creativity put into it! The fists can even be stored below the truck's front portion in vehicle mode, guaranteeing that you never lose them.

:He also includes a sticker sheet and a small 20cm ruler, featuring packaging art of himself plus ''Generation 2'' [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], as well as pictures of their respective LALA eraser versions (the one for Optimus coming right up).
{{-}}

*'''Eraser''' (1997)
:Another piece of merchandise from ToonTown licensee LALA, this eraser also doubles as a small simple model kit, with his large colored bits being the "eraser" portion and the remainder of the toy being constituted of grey plastic parts that are assembled together. He transforms from robot to vehicle and back by [[Partformer|partforming]] his individual components.

:Although the advertisements and aforementioned ruler (as well as the few copies that we know of) feature his eraser bits in pink, it is possible that he might have also been released in bright green, as other LILA erasers that also show up as pink in promotional images have been found with this color instead.
{{-}}
*'''Watch''' (1997)
:Yet another LALA product, this Optimus Prime watch "transforms" by folding out of its compressed half-form and standing up as a simple fully-fledged little robot. His chest opens to reveal the titular watch. Said chest, along with his head, have an unusual gold chrome deco (a commonality across a handful of ToonTown products), and the box art is painted accordingly to reflect this.

[[File:MetalforceConvoy.jpg|thumb|I'm expensive! ''(Metallic Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (1999/2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand

:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine produced by [[Time House]] sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allows him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands, and helmet, which probably meant for those who wanted to duplicate them with resin and/or wish to modify/paint them...you know how garage kit modellers do.

:Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and have an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.

:''[[Choro-Q]]'' Convoy is a [[redeco]] of the Domra Truck toy from Takara's ''Choro-Q'' toyline of non-transforming [[super deformed]] vehicles. He was an [[exclusive]] at [[BotCon]] Japan 2000, and features a [[pull-back motor]] and a rear license plate that reads "BotCon Japan 2000".

:Along with ''Choro-Q'' [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], Convoy was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

**''Accessories'': Stand

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.

:The sixth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave featured yet another mass-release version of Optimus. While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey Spike, pull my finger.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002/2006)

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, Optimus is a [[redeco]] of the standard ''Super Collection Figure'' Optimus mold, with a ''slight'' [[retool]]ing to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae [[for safety reasons]]. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. There are a few other small deco differences to the ''Heroes'' version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.

: Optimus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him ''very'' similar to the original ''SCF'' toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the ''SCF'' version's chest-window light blue.

*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

: An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a [[redeco]] of [[Ginrai (robot)#Super Collection Figure|God Ginrai]], the double-armored-up form of Optimus's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.

: This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] with [[Apex Bomber]] the following year.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002)

:This second-wave ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release is a variation of the chase figure from the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the ''Heroes'' molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Optimus. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Megatron]].)

{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor), [[Leandro Sivori]] (painter)}}

:The first entry in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this 13-inch tall diorama depicts Optimus Prime slugging it out with Megatron. Optimus is posed as though doing a shoulder shove while holding his ion blaster, but a provided "REP" (Replaceable Exterior Part) hand allows buyers to instead recontexualise the pose as a spinning backhand slap. Megatron comes with a REP of a battle damaged version of his head, which features a detachable "helmet" to show off his exposed robo-brain.

:The model was limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, and came with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which allowed buyers to reserve the same number on their next purchase in the series. It also came with an A4 mini-poster depicting the same fight between Optimus and Megatron by artist [[Little IroN]], which was also sold separately as a limited edition A2 poster.

:As a ''Transformers Battlefield'' release, this model featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output put the kibosh on any further ''Battlefield'' models.

:Softimus Prime is, as his name suggests, a plush G1 Optimus Prime toy. Obviously, he has no problems with articulation and passes the drop test with flying colors. His main draw is the ability to "transform" into his Freightliner FL86 vehicle mode by turning the plush toy inside out, his transformation roughly similar to the Powermaster cab Prime's. He features Movie-style faction symbols on his right arm and both sides of his cab mode. He is love.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' 2-packs (sold under the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|2007 live-action-movie line]] branding), Optimus Prime is a simple, yet well-detailed two-inch tall figurine with exaggerated, cartoony proportions, with swivel articulation at the neck and shoulders. He is sculpted holding his Ion Blaster rifle in his right fist and his left arm in a pointing pose. He is also love, and demands that you pull his [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3#Notes|Finger of Doom]].

: He was sold in a two-pack with [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Robot Heroes|Ravage]], positioned in a way that gives an impression of [http://orig12.deviantart.net/b22b/f/2008/216/7/1/optimus_prime_vs_ravage_by_cobaltkitty.jpg him freaking out to Ravage's size].

==''Revoltech''==

*'''Convoy''' (2007/2014)
**''Series number:'' '''019'''
**''Legacy of Revoltech ID number'': '''LR-008'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand

:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Optimus Prime action figure, ''[[Revoltech]]'' Convoy uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create ''Revoltech'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Revoltech|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.

:The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).

:Unfortunately, ''Revoltech'' Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.

:In 2014, ''Revoltech'' Convoy was reissued as part of the ''Legacy of Revoltech'' line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.

**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Energon Axe, 1 pair of splayed hands, 1 pair of trigger hands, left clawed hand, right pointing hand, interlocked hand

:''Amazing Yamaguchi'' Convoy is an all-new take to the Revoltech figure above, but more poseable. Apart from the Ion Blaster, this figure comes with an Energon Axe accessory, and an interlocked hand accessory that is designed to resemble the haymaker that took down Megatron in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Unlike the first Revoltech figure, Convoy features painted-details-on-colored-plastic rather than fully coating them. The plastic is noted to have a hollow feel compared to the first figure.

:Due to production delays, the release date was rescheduled from September 29 to October 24.

:*''Accessories'': Ion blaster, energon axe, Matrix of Leadership, surfboard, jetpack, basketball, energy restraints, left & right fists, 2 open hands, right gripping hand, left pointing hand, alternate head

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Super7#Transformers ULTIMATES!|Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Optimus Prime is a 7-inch-tall action figure based on his cartoon model. He features multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands in different poses (or the obligatory Energon Axe), and his head can be replaced with an alternate based on the original Optimus toy.

: He also features a ''lot'' of accessories, more than any other toy in the wave, including a number of episode-specific ones: [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe's]] jetpack from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]", a ridable surfboard from "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]", energy restraints from "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]", and his giant basketball from "[[The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders]]". He also includes a miniature [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#ULTIMATES!|Spike Witwicky]] figurine.

: Preorders for Optimus Prime (and the rest of Wave 1) opened on [[January 29]] 2021, and closed on [[February 28]], with the toys purportedly shipping in winter of that year but not actually arriving until May 2022.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Alligaticon''' (2022)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Optimus Prime head; Optimus Prime rifle; Decepticon tower tip w/ arm; [[Battle taxi]]

: Part of the third wave of ''ULTIMATES!'', the [[Alligaticon#Merchandise|Alligaticon]] is a 10-inch-long non-transforming figure made to emulate the the Optimus-parts creature's cartoon model to pretty exacting detail (including the ''lack'' of detail on most of its flat surfaces). It makes ample use of multi-swivel joints to give its limbs a relatively wide range of motion, plus extensive tail jointing, a mid-body bend, some neck waggle, and an opening jaw.

: It comes with multiple "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]"-themed accessories, including a tower with Optimus's arm attached to it. The arm is permanently attached, but the hand uses the same wrist-joint as the individual Optimus figure, and can be popped off and replaced with his other hands if you like (Optimus's wrist-pegs are larger than many other figures', so sadly cross-compatibility is limited at best). Curiously, while the arm appears to be identical to the prior figure's arm, the gun is not, having a trigger guard the original version lacks.

: It also comes with Optimus's disembodied head on a ball-jointed "neck" with trailing wires. Like the arm, the head is the same mold as the original Optimus, but this time cast in clear-blue plastic painted over, with a small gap in the back of the head to attempt [[light-piping]]... but depending on the strength of the light, it might just shine through the paint. Since it's the same mold, one could theoretically swap it out, but trying to push that wire-mass back into the socket seems like it'd be a bit of a pain in the neck (wocka wocka!).

: Preorders for the Alligaticon (and the rest of Wave 3) opened on [[December 1]], 2021, with the toys projected to ship in fall 2022... and ''actually'' shipping in November 202''3''.

Optimus Prime is the latest of several representations of his dead body from "[[The Transformers: The Movie]]," now with a greyscale paint scheme, a heavily damaged left torso section, and cracks all over him (and on his rifle too for good measure).

**''Nendoroid ID Number'': '''1765'''
**''Accessories'': Ion blaster, Energon-axe, pointing hand

:[[Nendoroid]] Optimus Prime is a [[super deformed]], adorable rendition of the original Autobot commander. It is the first Nendoroid figure released for a "Generation 1" character, as the first Nendoroid figures for ''Transformers'' were for the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' movie.

:As with most Nendoroids, Optimus Prime can interchange body parts with compatible figures, and comes with an alternative "pointing hand" accessory to aid with specific posing. The figure is packed with Optimus's trademark Ion blaster and Energon-axe weapons (generically referred to as a gun and an energy axe by the Good Smile Company website), the latter of which replaces Optimus's hand when wielded. He also features articulation at the head, knees, shoulders, elbows, and even his chest.

:This mold was later redecoed as [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Nendoroid|Nemesis Prime]].

:Apart of the line of cute, cuddly Transformers Plushies, [[Mochibots Transformers Plush|Mochibots]] Convoy (otherwise known as ''Optimus Prime'') is a 5.5 CM tall variation of the character, with Sunbow cartoon-accurate white pants and all! This Convoy is given a "Fumo" stylization, making the robotic detailing more rounded and soft, with stubby limbs and a cute, somewhat stern expression. Every detail is sewn-in, leading to him and the rest of the Mochibots line having a premium feel, with added texture and depth added to each detail. In addition to all this cute Convoy's offerings, he has a block of stuffed material in the back to represent his "Backpack", and a stitched-on Autobot logo! Though, much like [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Mochibots Transformers Plush|Cliff]], the Autobot logo seems to have a squinting expression, likely a limitation of how far the detail can go with this process. Like many other Mochibots, Convoy also features a special, reflective material in his eyes and windows, with light giving it a special shimmer effect whenever it hits it.

:Convoy was released in the Summer of 2023 in "Volume 1" of the Mochibots line, alongside Cliff, Bumble, and Convoy's Shattered Glass counterpart. This line was exclusive to China and Japan, with almost all of them being locked to Asia via [[amiami|amiami's]] digital storefront.

It consists of three pieces that can be interchanged with those of [[Beyblade#BEYBLADE X|other ''Beyblade X'' tops]]; an attacking "Blade" primarily made of metal, a "Ratchet" that locks parts together and determines height, and a "Bit" that touches the ground and determines movement.

:The "Optimus Prime" Blade features evergreen art of Optimus Prime on its central Gear Chip and is partial of the mainline ''Beyblade X'' Blade "Helm Knight". The Ratchet (4-60) and Bit (Point) are recolored parts from other ''Beyblade X'' tops.

:In Hasbro territories, a QR Code sticker hidden underneath the Blade can be scanned into the ''Beyblade X'' companion app. In Takara-Tomy territories, the QR Code stickers are omitted in favor of a Beycode Card packed with the instructions.

This allows him to be assembled quickly and easily without tools. Unlike Yolopark's regular AMK line, the AMK Pro line features diecast parts as well as light-up features. In Prime's case, his eyes will light up when tapping his head with a magnet. The feature requires one CR927 battery which is not included.

:The fully assembled figure resembles the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy 3.0 and features an opening Matrix chamber and fully articulated hands, eliminating the need for alternate hands. Both the ion blaster and Megatron gun can be wielded by his hands, though removing the stalk from the Megatron gun makes this much easier.

He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct.

:Prime comes with a pair of closed and open hands, along with a left hand molded in a pointing position exclusive to this figure.

The barrel of the Ion Blaster is compatible with the blast effects included with Ironhide, Megatron, and Skywarp. He also has a stand with four studs on top, which he can plug into and connect to similar stands. Optimus can also accommodate the jetpack included with Sideswipe, which was released as part of the ''Shining Version'' lineup.

:Released in the first wave of Blokees' ''Shining Version'' line, this version of the ''Galaxy Version'' Optimus kit now features painted translucent face and chest parts, and a torso frame that lights up upon shaking (or at least just lightly tap some areas on the torso), causing the eyes and the Matrix pattern tampographed on his chest window to glow for a limited time. In addition to his identical accessories from the Galaxy Version release, Optimus also comes with a single Energon Cube, a separate Matrix with a support stand, and a new, larger figure stand.

:The Matrix features a pair of tabs on each handle, compatible with most ''Galaxy/Shining Version'' kits that include open-palm hands, not just Prime.

:The third wave of the ''Shining Version'' series introduced a new mold styled after his Orion Pax appearance in ''IDW Publishing'''s "Spotlight Orion Pax" comic. As with later Galaxy Version kits since Wave 5, Orion features sturdier pre-assembled hinge joints.

:Since Orion's chin is slightly too long, fully inserting the ball joint may cause his head to ''slightly'' look upwards. To prevent this, insert the ball joint into Orion's head socket first, and then attach it to the torso frame's peg hole until you feel the friction between the joint and the hole without fully inserting it.

:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs. While an incorrect knee joint assembly may cause it to very slightly lean when standing straight or in an A-stance, an incorrect elbow assembly won't be noticeably affected unless you're looking very closely.

:The "Action Edition" Optimus Prime is a 7-inch (approx 18cm) model kit with a slightly more complex build and features an inner frame (equivalent to the ones used for ''Bandai'''s "Master/Perfect/Real Grade" kits) with greater articulation points than his other ''Galaxy Version'' toys. In addition to his two signature weapons, the removable Matrix of Leadership, and the jetpack, Optimus also comes with a hologram readout and wrist comm pieces to attach to the left forearm, with each of those parts featuring two different types of stickers. The articulated hands also feature two additional index fingers, a straight pointing piece, and a slightly curved piece for the Ion Blaster's trigger. A magnetic component in his display stand's faction symbol activates the light-up features that illuminate his eyes and the Matrix. An additional sticker sheet and extra yellow-colored eye parts can be used to create a toy-accurate version of this kit.

{{suite}}

'''Optimus Prime''' is a bit of a shill.
==Stamp Bot==
[[File:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG|thumb|Truck stamp is cool!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Made by [[HG Toys]], Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.
{{-}}

==The Transformers Cookie Jar==
*'''The Transformers Cookie Jar''' (1984?)
:A ceramic cookie jar in the likeness of Optimus Prime's head. The top of Prime's head lifts off for the storage of delicious baked goods or Energon or what-have-you. The cookie jar was manufactured by [[Great American Housewares]] under license from [[Hasbro]].

==Collegeville Costumes==
{{anchor|CollegevilleG1}}
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Although [[Collegeville Costumes]] only released a small number of Transformers [[Halloween]] costumes, and made some odd choices for characters to depict in the process, Optimus Prime was an obvious choice as one of their first releases. The costume consists of a thin plastic facemask based directly on the Optimus toy's head complete with yellow eyes, and an orange and yellow plastic smock decorated not with the details of Optimus' body, but with his package art and the Transformers logo.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1993)
{{anchor|CollegevilleG2}}
:Optimus Prime recieved a second costume from Collegeville for their line of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Transformers: Generation 2]]'' line. As with the 1984 Collegeville costume, it consists of a thin plastic mask held on by elastic. Unlike the previous costume, the plastic smock is now decorated with the details of Optimus' G2 body, as well as having his name and the G2 logo on it.

==Vehicle Play Tent==
[[File:Vehicleplaytent.jpg|thumb|Both a big truck ''and'' a series of tubes.]]
*'''ERO''' (1984?)
:The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.
{{-}}

==Oral Care Station==
*'''Optimus Prime Oral Care Station''' (1984/85?)
:An electric toothbrush in the likeness of Optimus Prime. A battery-operated feature causes the toothbrush (attached at Prime's left wrist) to move back and forth. The set also included a cup for [[water]], an extra brush head, and a stand to hold the various accoutrements.

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Tfcaramel optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Note: Do not eat! ... the candy. The toys taste better.]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A small soft-rubber figurine (known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan) of Optimus Prime was released as part of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]]s. Like all the figures from the 1985 range, Prime came blindpacked, and was available in a variety of colors including white, blue, yellow, green and orange. As the name of the series suggests, he came with a piece of caramel candy.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A second Optimus Prime ''keshigomu'' was included in the second wave of ''Milk Caramel'' figures, sporting some broader proportions and more toy-based design cues like visible wheels, holding its gun in its left hand, rather than its right. This figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations; a baffling variant is known to exist with a ''Decepticon'' symbol on its left shoulder!

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''2'''
:The second ''Milk Caramel'' wave also contained a third Optimus Prime figure, largely identical to the second, except with its gun in its right hand, and holding its left arm aloft. Again, this figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Tfchoco optimusprime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
:A small solid-color snap-together model kit of Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line, coming packaged with small chocolate candies similar to [[M&M's]] called "Chocolate Dots". The kit can transform from robot to vehicle mode, though this version of Prime doesn't have any hands.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists
:A second ''Choco'' version of Prime was upsized from the first a little, and was given a pair of removable fists, the right one clutching Prime's [[ion blaster]].
{{-}}

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum optimusprime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists, ion blaster
:In addition to the small ''Choco'' model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

:This kit was reissued in 1997 by might-or-might-not-be official Transformers licensee [[ToonTown]] in [[South Korea]] (possibly, in a 2-pack with a reissue of ''Transformers Gum'' [[Soundwave (G1)/merchandise#Transformers Gum|Soundwave]] <ref>[http://fuwakudou.web.fc2.com/prisoners06.html One source] mentions obtaining two boxes of the ToonTown ''Transformers Gum'' releases with each containing two kits - the one numbered #1 featuring Optimus Prime and Soundwave and the one numbered #2 featuring Sideswipe and Starscream - but considering that none of the other (albeit admittedly very few) sources that discuss these kits mention a similar arrangement, it is possible that this was either a packing mistake or simply already-opened boxes being sold on the secondary market with two loose kits stuffed into them (the article does not specify whether or not the boxes they obtained were sealed, although they do look new-ish in the provided pictures). Still, considering how very little information exists regarding these releases in general, it will nonetheless be noted here that these kits ''might'' have been released as 2-packs at some point.</ref>), looking mostly identical save for a set of cheaper-looking paper decals.

[[File:Tfgum2010 g1prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My limbs need to be horribly mutilated and rearranged to change forms!]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:The first wave of 2010's revival of the ''Transformers Gum'' series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.

:In terms of transformation, Convoy partially [[partformer|partforms]], as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.

*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/laser cannon
{{toydesigner|[[Naoto Tsushima]] (packaging artist)}}

:The second Prime figure in the 2010 ''Gum'' line was this kit of his ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''/''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.

:Much like his aforementioned G1 self, his arms also need to be partformed into robot mode.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2014_g1starconvoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|But not mine!]]
*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

:Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.

:Owing to the original toy's simple engineering, Star Convoy does not require any disassembly to transform into robot mode, making him one of the few non-partforming Kabaya figures. He does, however, need to have his Microcarrier wheel base detached (which was also an option on the original toy) to fully access a significant improvement over his older self: some newly-added leg articulation! The Microcarrier also doubles as a shield that can be attached to the robot's left arm.
{{-}}

==Hero Set==
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
:A large ''keshigomu'' of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Prime figure came with a removable laser rifle, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy optimus prime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
*'''Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
:Optimus Prime was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Prime was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1987)
**''Checklist number:'' '''31'''
:The Prime figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the "[[Decoy (G1)|Decoy]]" promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (31, in Prime's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

==Knitting Pattern==
[[File:Transformers-knitting-pattern.JPG|thumb|Here to transform your sweater into something that will get your ass kicked.]]
*'''Wendy DK 3015''' (1986)
: Produced by U.K. company [[Wendy DK]] and designed by [[Joy Gammon]], this pamphlet contained patterns for two ''Transformers''-themed sweaters, one featuring Optimus Prime in robot mode, one featuring Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. The patterns were sized as Children's Large, so you're going to have to upscale it quite a bit if you want your <s>girlfriend</s> mom to knit you one.

==Vinyl figurine==
[[File:Optimus Prime Vinyl Figure set.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Vinyl Prime leads his decoys into battle [[Action Master|before the great storm]].]]
*'''Scramble Gun Set''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''Part.1'''
:Optimus Prime was one of several characters released by [[Seven]] and Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of different novelty sets. Prime came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four randomly assigned peach-colored decoy figures. In [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|"Part.2"]] of the set Prime is replaced by a vinyl Ultra Magnus.{{-}}

==Gold Convoy Trophy==
[[File:Gold Convoy Trophy.jpg|thumb|Thou will worship this golden convoy. Or Perish!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (trophy, 1988)
:A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] employees and as a [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] (alongside the [[Chromedome (G1)|Silver Chromedome Trophy]]) in [[TV Magazine]] in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
{{-}}

==''Generation 2''==
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Dairy Queen promotion, 1994)
[[File:DairyQueen Optimus.jpg|thumb|Rare, in a raw chicken sort of way.]]
:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

:These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.
{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime Inflatable Bop Bag'''
[[File:OptimusPrime_G2_Inflatable_Bop_Bag.jpg|thumb|At last, merchandise for Decepticons!]]
:Released in 1993 by Kid Dimension, a subsidiary of Hasbro,<ref>[http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/hasbro-inc-history/]</ref> this 3 foot tall Inflatable Bop Bag featured the likeness of Optimus Prime above the Transformers Generation 2 logo. Supposedly to encourage kids to punch out Optimus Prime?

:*''Accessories'': Blaster, left & right fists
: Notoriously odd [[South Korea]]n company ToonTown licensed the ''Transformers'' brand to model kit manufacturer [[ToonTown#Items released by Midam Industry|Midam Industry]], which in turn put out this surprisingly detailed and robust kit of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure. It is fully transformable and about 3/4ths the size of the original toy. He does not feature his trailer, and his weapon design is substantially different from either of his classic blasters.

: Three color morphs have been found so far: original red arms and torso with blue head and legs, a mirrored version with red head and legs and a blue torso and arms, and one with all the aforementioned parts in blue.<ref>Reviews for a [https://m.blog.naver.com/eoiipp/130144214329 "standard"-colored Midam Optimus kit], an [https://blog.naver.com/parang16/20041871808 "inverted"-colored Midam Optimus kit], and an [https://blog.naver.com/nckim/70101680088 all-blue-colored Midam Optimus kit] on blog.naver.com</ref> This suggests that the colors which make up the two batch of parts might be randomized between blue and red, and as such; an as-of-now undocumented all-red version might also exist. All of his versions also have their chrome parts painted in metallic gold, a common oddity across ToonTown Primes as seen in the previous LALA figure.

: The figure comes with a batch of rather weird stickers, with text on his license plate and the sides of his truck mode that refers to him as "[[gbwiki:Dump Robo|Dump Robo]]".

*'''LALA Pencil Case''' (1997)
:Possibly one of the most majestically quirky pieces of merchandise to have graced any Transformers character ever, this incredible pencil case from ToonTown licensee [[ToonTown#Items released by LALA|LALA]] is generally based around the design and transformation of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy, but with ''a lot'' more than meets the eye to it: on top of being fully transformable from his robot mode to (an albeit rather flat) truck mode, he folds open to reveal space for the storage of several pencils and/or pens of your choosing, as well as including printed stickers for a time table and an address book, a drawer for the storage of extra school supplies, and a hidden thermometer that's revealed by lowering his head!

:Pencils can be attached to his shoulders to imitate his smokestacks, and his fists, which are removable for the transformation like in the original toy? They're erasers! Gah, how can an obscure, maybe even potentially fake piece of merchandise from 1990s South Korea have this much soul and creativity put into it! The fists can even be stored below the truck's front portion in vehicle mode, guaranteeing that you never lose them.

:He also includes a sticker sheet and a small 20cm ruler, featuring packaging art of himself plus ''Generation 2'' [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], as well as pictures of their respective LALA eraser versions (the one for Optimus coming right up).
{{-}}

*'''Eraser''' (1997)
:Another piece of merchandise from ToonTown licensee LALA, this eraser also doubles as a small simple model kit, with his large colored bits being the "eraser" portion and the remainder of the toy being constituted of grey plastic parts that are assembled together. He transforms from robot to vehicle and back by [[Partformer|partforming]] his individual components.

:Although the advertisements and aforementioned ruler (as well as the few copies that we know of) feature his eraser bits in pink, it is possible that he might have also been released in bright green, as other LILA erasers that also show up as pink in promotional images have been found with this color instead.
{{-}}
*'''Watch''' (1997)
:Yet another LALA product, this Optimus Prime watch "transforms" by folding out of its compressed half-form and standing up as a simple fully-fledged little robot. His chest opens to reveal the titular watch. Said chest, along with his head, have an unusual gold chrome deco (a commonality across a handful of ToonTown products), and the box art is painted accordingly to reflect this.

==''Metalforce''==
[[File:MetalforceConvoy.jpg|thumb|I'm expensive! ''(Metallic Version Pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (1999/2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand

:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine produced by [[Time House]] sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allows him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands, and helmet, which probably meant for those who wanted to duplicate them with resin and/or wish to modify/paint them...you know how garage kit modellers do.

:Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and have an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.

:''[[Choro-Q]]'' Convoy is a [[redeco]] of the Domra Truck toy from Takara's ''Choro-Q'' toyline of non-transforming [[super deformed]] vehicles. He was an [[exclusive]] at [[BotCon]] Japan 2000, and features a [[pull-back motor]] and a rear license plate that reads "BotCon Japan 2000".

:Along with ''Choro-Q'' [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], Convoy was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

: It was ''presumably'' released at a ratio of one per every ten cases; while this has not been officially confirmed, later waves gave these odds for Secret Figures.

:Part of the second ''Super Collection Figure'' act, this is the only ''SCF'' figure of a vehicle mode Transformer. As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

**''Accessories'': Stand

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.

:The sixth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave featured yet another mass-release version of Optimus. While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.

Both are cast in transparent plastic and completely painted over in a grimy, battle-damaged look.

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey Spike, pull my finger.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002/2006)

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, Optimus is a [[redeco]] of the standard ''Super Collection Figure'' Optimus mold, with a ''slight'' [[retool]]ing to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae [[for safety reasons]]. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. There are a few other small deco differences to the ''Heroes'' version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.

: Optimus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him ''very'' similar to the original ''SCF'' toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the ''SCF'' version's chest-window light blue.

*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

: An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a [[redeco]] of [[Ginrai (robot)#Super Collection Figure|God Ginrai]], the double-armored-up form of Optimus's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.

: This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] with [[Apex Bomber]] the following year.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002)

:This second-wave ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release is a variation of the chase figure from the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the ''Heroes'' molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Optimus. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Megatron]].)

{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor), [[Leandro Sivori]] (painter)}}

:The first entry in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this 13-inch tall diorama depicts Optimus Prime slugging it out with Megatron. Optimus is posed as though doing a shoulder shove while holding his ion blaster, but a provided "REP" (Replaceable Exterior Part) hand allows buyers to instead recontexualise the pose as a spinning backhand slap. Megatron comes with a REP of a battle damaged version of his head, which features a detachable "helmet" to show off his exposed robo-brain.

:The model was limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, and came with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which allowed buyers to reserve the same number on their next purchase in the series. It also came with an A4 mini-poster depicting the same fight between Optimus and Megatron by artist [[Little IroN]], which was also sold separately as a limited edition A2 poster.

:As a ''Transformers Battlefield'' release, this model featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output put the kibosh on any further ''Battlefield'' models.

Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5|''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' issue 5]] (also by Miller). Storm Shadow is only a mite bigger than your standard 3.75" ''G.I. Joe'' figure, making this statue roughly in scale with the rest of your collection!

:After being revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in 2006,<ref>[https://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=album&album=6265&dispsize=800&start=0 Tformers.com's SDCC 2006 gallery]</ref> "Optimus Prime vs Storm Shadow" was released in January 2007, holding the dubious honour of being the only one of First 4 Figures' ''G.I.

His main draw is the ability to "transform" into his Freightliner FL86 vehicle mode by turning the plush toy inside out, his transformation roughly similar to the Powermaster cab Prime's. He features Movie-style faction symbols on his right arm and both sides of his cab mode. He is love.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' 2-packs (sold under the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|2007 live-action-movie line]] branding), Optimus Prime is a simple, yet well-detailed two-inch tall figurine with exaggerated, cartoony proportions, with swivel articulation at the neck and shoulders. He is sculpted holding his Ion Blaster rifle in his right fist and his left arm in a pointing pose. He is also love, and demands that you pull his [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3#Notes|Finger of Doom]].

: He was sold in a two-pack with [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Robot Heroes|Ravage]], positioned in a way that gives an impression of [http://orig12.deviantart.net/b22b/f/2008/216/7/1/optimus_prime_vs_ravage_by_cobaltkitty.jpg him freaking out to Ravage's size].

: He came in a [[Walmart]] exclusive multipack, alogn with [[Mirage (G1)/toys#RH5pack|Hologram Mirage]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Robot Heroes|Cliffjumper]], "Supermetal Finish" [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#RH5pack|Megatron]], and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Robot Heroes|Skywarp]].

==''Revoltech''==
[[File:Revoltech Convoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Windowbra! ''(2007 Version pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (2007/2014)
**''Series number:'' '''019'''
**''Legacy of Revoltech ID number'': '''LR-008'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand

:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Optimus Prime action figure, ''[[Revoltech]]'' Convoy uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create ''Revoltech'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Revoltech|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.

:The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).

:Unfortunately, ''Revoltech'' Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.

:In 2014, ''Revoltech'' Convoy was reissued as part of the ''Legacy of Revoltech'' line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.

**''Series number:'' 014
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Energon Axe, 1 pair of splayed hands, 1 pair of trigger hands, left clawed hand, right pointing hand, interlocked hand

:''Amazing Yamaguchi'' Convoy is an all-new take to the Revoltech figure above, but more poseable. Apart from the Ion Blaster, this figure comes with an Energon Axe accessory, and an interlocked hand accessory that is designed to resemble the haymaker that took down Megatron in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Unlike the first Revoltech figure, Convoy features painted-details-on-colored-plastic rather than fully coating them. The plastic is noted to have a hollow feel compared to the first figure.

:Due to production delays, the release date was rescheduled from September 29 to October 24.

:Optimus comes with six hands altogether: a pair of closed fists, a pair of gently beckoning hands, a right hand for his included [[Ion blaster|Ion Blaster]] accessory, and a right hand with the index finger extended. He also features an [[Energon-axe|Energon Axe]], compatible with either wrist in place of his hand. Lastly, he includes a Matrix of Leadership, which can store in his chest thanks to his opening windows.

:As with all ''R.E.D.'' toys, Optimus Prime was a Walmart exclusive in Canada and the United States, and was later made available on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in limited quantities.

: This mold was used to make ''R.E.D.'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#R.E.D. .5BRobot Enhanced Design.5D|Ultra Magnus]].

:*''Accessories'': Ion blaster, energon axe, Matrix of Leadership, surfboard, jetpack, basketball, energy restraints, left & right fists, 2 open hands, right gripping hand, left pointing hand, alternate head

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Super7#Transformers ULTIMATES!|Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Optimus Prime is a 7-inch-tall action figure based on his cartoon model. He features multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands in different poses (or the obligatory Energon Axe), and his head can be replaced with an alternate based on the original Optimus toy.

: He also features a ''lot'' of accessories, more than any other toy in the wave, including a number of episode-specific ones: [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe's]] jetpack from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]", a ridable surfboard from "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]", energy restraints from "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]", and his giant basketball from "[[The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders]]". He also includes a miniature [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#ULTIMATES!|Spike Witwicky]] figurine.

: Preorders for Optimus Prime (and the rest of Wave 1) opened on [[January 29]] 2021, and closed on [[February 28]], with the toys purportedly shipping in winter of that year but not actually arriving until May 2022.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Alligaticon''' (2022)}}</ul>
:*''Accessories'': Optimus Prime head; Optimus Prime rifle; Decepticon tower tip w/ arm; [[Battle taxi]]

: Part of the third wave of ''ULTIMATES!'', the [[Alligaticon#Merchandise|Alligaticon]] is a 10-inch-long non-transforming figure made to emulate the the Optimus-parts creature's cartoon model to pretty exacting detail (including the ''lack'' of detail on most of its flat surfaces). It makes ample use of multi-swivel joints to give its limbs a relatively wide range of motion, plus extensive tail jointing, a mid-body bend, some neck waggle, and an opening jaw.

: It comes with multiple "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]"-themed accessories, including a tower with Optimus's arm attached to it. The arm is permanently attached, but the hand uses the same wrist-joint as the individual Optimus figure, and can be popped off and replaced with his other hands if you like (Optimus's wrist-pegs are larger than many other figures', so sadly cross-compatibility is limited at best). Curiously, while the arm appears to be identical to the prior figure's arm, the gun is not, having a trigger guard the original version lacks.

: It also comes with Optimus's disembodied head on a ball-jointed "neck" with trailing wires. Like the arm, the head is the same mold as the original Optimus, but this time cast in clear-blue plastic painted over, with a small gap in the back of the head to attempt [[light-piping]]... but depending on the strength of the light, it might just shine through the paint. Since it's the same mold, one could theoretically swap it out, but trying to push that wire-mass back into the socket seems like it'd be a bit of a pain in the neck (wocka wocka!).

: Preorders for the Alligaticon (and the rest of Wave 3) opened on [[December 1]], 2021, with the toys projected to ship in fall 2022... and ''actually'' shipping in November 202''3''.

Optimus Prime is the latest of several representations of his dead body from "[[The Transformers: The Movie]]," now with a greyscale paint scheme, a heavily damaged left torso section, and cracks all over him (and on his rifle too for good measure).

:[[Nendoroid]] Optimus Prime is a [[super deformed]], adorable rendition of the original Autobot commander. It is the first Nendoroid figure released for a "Generation 1" character, as the first Nendoroid figures for ''Transformers'' were for the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' movie.

:As with most Nendoroids, Optimus Prime can interchange body parts with compatible figures, and comes with an alternative "pointing hand" accessory to aid with specific posing. The figure is packed with Optimus's trademark Ion blaster and Energon-axe weapons (generically referred to as a gun and an energy axe by the Good Smile Company website), the latter of which replaces Optimus's hand when wielded. He also features articulation at the head, knees, shoulders, elbows, and even his chest.

:Apart of the line of cute, cuddly Transformers Plushies, [[Mochibots Transformers Plush|Mochibots]] Convoy (otherwise known as ''Optimus Prime'') is a 5.5 CM tall variation of the character, with Sunbow cartoon-accurate white pants and all! This Convoy is given a "Fumo" stylization, making the robotic detailing more rounded and soft, with stubby limbs and a cute, somewhat stern expression. Every detail is sewn-in, leading to him and the rest of the Mochibots line having a premium feel, with added texture and depth added to each detail. In addition to all this cute Convoy's offerings, he has a block of stuffed material in the back to represent his "Backpack", and a stitched-on Autobot logo! Though, much like [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Mochibots Transformers Plush|Cliff]], the Autobot logo seems to have a squinting expression, likely a limitation of how far the detail can go with this process. Like many other Mochibots, Convoy also features a special, reflective material in his eyes and windows, with light giving it a special shimmer effect whenever it hits it.

:Convoy was released in the Summer of 2023 in "Volume 1" of the Mochibots line, alongside Cliff, Bumble, and Convoy's Shattered Glass counterpart. This line was exclusive to China and Japan, with almost all of them being locked to Asia via [[amiami|amiami's]] digital storefront.

It consists of three pieces that can be interchanged with those of [[Beyblade#BEYBLADE X|other ''Beyblade X'' tops]]; an attacking "Blade" primarily made of metal, a "Ratchet" that locks parts together and determines height, and a "Bit" that touches the ground and determines movement.

:The "Optimus Prime" Blade features evergreen art of Optimus Prime on its central Gear Chip and is partial of the mainline ''Beyblade X'' Blade "Helm Knight". The Ratchet (4-60) and Bit (Point) are recolored parts from other ''Beyblade X'' tops.

:In Hasbro territories, a QR Code sticker hidden underneath the Blade can be scanned into the ''Beyblade X'' companion app. In Takara-Tomy territories, the QR Code stickers are omitted in favor of a Beycode Card packed with the instructions.

In Prime's case, his eyes will light up when tapping his head with a magnet. The feature requires one CR927 battery which is not included.

:The fully assembled figure resembles the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy 3.0 and features an opening Matrix chamber and fully articulated hands, eliminating the need for alternate hands. Both the ion blaster and Megatron gun can be wielded by his hands, though removing the stalk from the Megatron gun makes this much easier.

:The chase figure of ''Galaxy Version'' 08, with the standard chase odds of 1 in every 36 boxes, this kit of Optimus Prime is a redeco of the regular kit above in metallic paint and molded plastic, featuring a "half-alive, half-dead" appearance.

:Released in the first wave of Blokees' ''Shining Version'' line, this version of the ''Galaxy Version'' Optimus kit now features painted translucent face and chest parts, and a torso frame that lights up upon shaking (or at least just lightly tap some areas on the torso), causing the eyes and the Matrix pattern tampographed on his chest window to glow for a limited time. In addition to his identical accessories from the Galaxy Version release, Optimus also comes with a single Energon Cube, a separate Matrix with a support stand, and a new, larger figure stand.

:The Matrix features a pair of tabs on each handle, compatible with most ''Galaxy/Shining Version'' kits that include open-palm hands, not just Prime.

:*''Series:'' '''Shining Version 03 - Shattered Universe'''
:*''Accessories:'' 2 pairs of hands (fists/accessory-holding, splayed open-palm), Gun, figure stand

:The third wave of the ''Shining Version'' series introduced a new mold styled after his Orion Pax appearance in ''IDW Publishing'''s "Spotlight Orion Pax" comic. As with later Galaxy Version kits since Wave 5, Orion features sturdier pre-assembled hinge joints.

:Since Orion's chin is slightly too long, fully inserting the ball joint may cause his head to ''slightly'' look upwards. To prevent this, insert the ball joint into Orion's head socket first, and then attach it to the torso frame's peg hole until you feel the friction between the joint and the hole without fully inserting it.

:If you're a speed builder, be mindful when attaching the pre-assembled joints; Unlike the symmetrical joints from earlier waves, the pegs on both ends of these joints are designed to connect to specific pieces; The tabs with slightly smaller holes are intended for the upper arms and thighs, while the regular tabs are meant for the forearms and lower legs. While an incorrect knee joint assembly may cause it to very slightly lean when standing straight or in an A-stance, an incorrect elbow assembly won't be noticeably affected unless you're looking very closely.

:The "Action Edition" Optimus Prime is a 7-inch (approx 18cm) model kit with a slightly more complex build and features an inner frame (equivalent to the ones used for ''Bandai'''s "Master/Perfect/Real Grade" kits) with greater articulation points than his other ''Galaxy Version'' toys. In addition to his two signature weapons, the removable Matrix of Leadership, and the jetpack, Optimus also comes with a hologram readout and wrist comm pieces to attach to the left forearm, with each of those parts featuring two different types of stickers. The articulated hands also feature two additional index fingers, a straight pointing piece, and a slightly curved piece for the Ion Blaster's trigger. A magnetic component in his display stand's faction symbol activates the light-up features that illuminate his eyes and the Matrix. An additional sticker sheet and extra yellow-colored eye parts can be used to create a toy-accurate version of this kit.

:If one chooses, the middle-to-pinky fingers ''can'' be (carefully) sliced into individual pieces as they also feature individual ball joints for each finger.

Additionally, Optimus includes retooled areas and newly molded parts, such as a new neck joint that allows him to look up further, an opening chest window that grants access to his Matrix Chamber, and a display stand with an adjustable posing arm that plugs into multiple holes on his back and the soles of his feet for midair action poses.

:Optimus is also compatible with the Seeker-based back and the head from the same entry's Starscream, recreating the latter's disguise in [[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]].

Victinoko: /* MDLX Scale */

[[File:2023-Threezero-logo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.11]]

'''Threezero''', formerly known as '''3A''', is a high-end [[toy]] company founded in 2008, specializing in intricate toys and figures for original and licensed properties. The company's founders are Australian artist Ashley Wood and Hong Kong toy maker Kim Fung Wong. Among its many offerings, the company produces a line of ''insanely'' detailed non-transforming figures based on the [[Live-action film series|live-action ''Transformers'' films]], [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] and the [[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|''War for Cybertron'' Trilogy]]. All their releases boast a number of interchangeable accessories, realistic paint applications and high articulation, with the middle and higher tier offerings including LED-enabled features.

In 2019, the company was absorbed into its parent company Threezero, with all current and future products being sold under the Threezero brand name.

===MDLX Scale===
[[File:Threezero-MDLX-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1|''MDLX'' Bumblebee]]
The smallest of the three scales offered, the MDLX figures are Threezero's equivalent to ''Figma'' and ''S.H. Figuarts'', being highly articulated action figures and measuring roughly six to seven inches tall. Each figure also comes with a small suite of accessories like alternate hands and a weapon. The characters for this scale are G1-inspired, original designs by Kelvin Sau. Additionally, all characters from the [[Transformers One (film)|''Transformers One'']] film are made in this scale.

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Released in the first year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' [[Autobot Cars]], Trailbreaker transforms into a {{w|Toyota_Hilux#Third_generation_(N30,_N40;_1978)|Toyota 4WD Hi-Lux N40}} camper truck. In robot mode, both of his lower arms are projectile launchers, able to load and fire either his fists or his projectiles, which consist of two [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] silver missiles and two silver "twin blasters"... though the [[Hasbro]] version of the toy severely weakened the springs [[for safety reasons]]. There are two slots in the robot-mode "backpack" to store whichever unused wrist attachments you like.

: He was re-released in 1985 with the addition of a [[rubsign]] on his vehicle-mode roof. He was also released in Japan the same year as part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' series, similarly sporting a rubsign, though this release has his wrist-launchers fully-functional.

: This mold was also [[retool]]ed to make [[Hoist (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Hoist]].

: This mold was originally released in Takara's ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, which is why the truck roof has an opening hatch meant for a pilot figure the ''Transformers'' toy did not come with. While there was a ''Diaclone'' version of this mold in these plastic colors (there were also yellow and blue versions of the toy), the ''Transformers'' release altered the side-panel stickers, which had a yellow base colors, to match the black plastic.

His truck deco is an obvious [[homage]] to the [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] character Trailbreaker, and the toy had been named "Trailbreaker" in [[Walmart]] computer listings.

His head sculpt is essentially the Generation 1 toy's head, including the visor, with the more humanoid face of the [[character model|cartoon model]]. As with all ''Reveal the Shield'' toys, he has a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

: The ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends figures saw exceedingly limited release at large-scale retail chains in the US. Throughout 2011, they eventually started appearing in discount stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Tuesday Morning, with perhaps the largest and most consistent outlet being Five Below stores.

: This mold was also sold in the ''Transformers Chronicle'' line (see below), and was used to make ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Generations|Hoist]].

: The same "hybrid" head design had been previously used by [[Dan Khanna]] for [[3H Productions|3H]]'s [[Transformers: Universe (comic)|''Universe'' comic]] and by Hasbro for ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Swindle (G1)#Alternators|Swindle]] (originally intended as Trailbreaker) and his [[redeco]] [[Rollbar (G1)#Alternators|Rollbar]].

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Trailcutter transforms into an armored pick-up truck. Additionally, many of his [[robot mode]] details are based on [[Alex Milne]]'s Cybertronian design for the character in the ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More Than Meets the Eye]]'' comic series. His truck bed canopy is removable, and transforms into a "battle shield" with mounted blasters. It features a flip-out [[5 mm post|5 mm handle]] as well as two 5 mm posts and ports, and can peg onto any of his numerous ports. The 5 mm ports on the legs, in particular, allow you to attach weapons from other figures to them so that Trailcutter can emulate Fortress Maximus.

: The American release comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Reluctant Specialist|Spotlight: Trailcutter]]'', featuring a cropped version of its [[Clayton Crain]] retailer incentive cover, which is called out as a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' on its front. Additionally, the contents of the issue are edited to remove references to Trailcutter's original name and overt mentions of alcohol-like usage of Energon drinks. The European and Canadian releases come packaged without the Spotlight.

:He was later retooled into ''Generations'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#T30Deluxe|Hoist]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)#Toys|Lift-Ticket]]. This toy also served as the basis of the non-toy characters [[Flatline (G1)|IDW Flatline]], [[Turbofire#Wings Universe|''Wings Universe'' Turbofire]], [[Trailbreaker (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Trailbreaker]], and [[Lockdown (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Lockdown]].

He also features new [[paint operation]]s, such as silver paint on his bumper, hubcaps, and forearms, painted back lights, and now has a red visor based on his original toy.

: Part of the sixth regular assortment of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] Micro-Changers, Trailbreaker (apparently Hasbro was finally able to reclaim the name) is a Kreon minifigure that can be rebuilt into a pickup truck. While clearly based on the Generation 1 character, the details of his deco are much more based on the [[live-action film series|live-action movie]] style of bot. He sports the Constructicon helmet.

: Unlike prior Micro-Changer assortments, this series does not have any sort identification code for the bags' actual contents, meaning you'd best be good at the feel-though-the-bag method.

: This assortment was originally slated to be a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]], but US stores dropped the line before its release. It was still available in Canada, Australia, and Chinese/Asian markets. In 2015, the Collection appeared in US Dollar Tree stores, with a price tag of a whopping $1 a pop. They didn't last long.

**'''5 OF 5: [[Sky Reign]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Axe, double-barreled gun/fist/foot
{{toydesigner|[[Mark Maher]] (deco artist)}}

: Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Trailbreaker (now using his original name again) is a retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Offroad (CW)#Toys|Decepticon Offroad]] sporting a new head and forearms that draw from his Generation 1 animation model, including a gun-hand. Additionally, his combiner fist/ foot weapon has retooled finger and thumb parts making his hand look more like a claw. The combiner hand can be inserted into the 5 mm peg port at the end of his gun hand, similarly to [[Rook (CW)#Generations|Rook]]. As with other ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxes, Trailbreaker can combine to form [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]] as either an arm or a leg. He can also combine with any ''Unite Warriors'' Voyager class figure or even into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs. While the front hood/windshields are needed to be folded as kneecaps for his leg mode, the piece also had a tendency to dislodge if he collides to Optimus Prime/Motormaster's and Hot Spot's protruding foot while the legs are being swiveled in his standing position, unless the leg joints are bent down to lessen the problem.

: Trailbreaker comes with a copy of ''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #40 (Combiner Wars part 2), "[[The Possible Light]]". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later also showed up at TJ Maxx in the USA at reduced prices with the collector card.

: The original version of this mold was also used to make [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|TFSS]] [[Ruckus (G1)#Generations|Grabuge]] and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Breakdown (WFC)#Unite Warriors|Zombie War Breakdown]], and was differently retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[First Aid (G1)#Generations|First Aid]] and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]].

: Released in the third and final wave of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] Deluxes, Trailbreaker is a retool of ''Earthrise'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Hoist]], converting into a camper truck of made-up model. He sports a new head, pelvis and gun attachment (designed to fit over and around his fist to replicate the wrist-gun of his original animation model), and a new backpack that replaces Hoist's towing apparatus with a canopy, which contains a flip-out shoulder cannon and radar scanner for his robot mode. The canopy comes detached in-package, and has a [[5 mm post]] sculpted inside it, allowing Trailbreaker to wield it as a shield. It also has a hole on top to store his gun attachment in vehicle mode. It's possible to wedge the gun under his hood between his arms using one of the 5mm ports on his forearms, although this causes the weapon nozzle to poke out off-center in front from under the hood.

: A radar dish for his vehicle mode, based on the one used in the ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|Transformers]]'' episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]," was sold separately as part of the ''Earthrise'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set. In robot mode, it's possible to store the radar dish inside his chest cavity, although it will rattle around freely.

: Like all ''Earthrise toys'', the inside of the back of Trailbreaker's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. While Trailbreaker's map piece is unlabeled, it contains part of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and one of its moons.

: In Japan, Trailbreaker was one of many many ''many'' toys in the line to be a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

: This figure was redecoed into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]/[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[DK-3 Breaker#Legacy|DK-3 Breaker]], while the original use of this mold was also used to make ''Generations Selects'' [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)#Generations Selects|Lift-Ticket]].

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Trailbreaker is an ''incredibly'' cartoon-accurate version of the character, who transforms into a fully-licensed Toyota 4WD Hi-Lux camper truck with an opening hood and doors (notably, this is the first ''Masterpiece'' figure to use the Toyota license).

: Among Trailbreaker's many accessories are two different truck grilles - one chromed, the other matte, so you can replicate a more cartoony or real-world-y look. He also comes with a "parabolic" radar dish to mount on his truck mode, and a wrist-mounted multi-nozzle forcefield generator, both from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2]]". Other robot accessories include a fist to replace the gun if you so choose, and three faces (neutral, screaming, and confident). He also includes a blast effect that just so happens to look like [[:File:DinobotIsland1_Trailbreaker_projects_force_field.jpg|one of the screen caps]] shown [[Circular reporting|on his {{SITENAME SHORT}} character page]].

: This figure also includes optional [[sticker|decal]]s that obscure part of the cab door windows, in order to represent the toy-accurate design (which occasionally appeared in the cartoon) where the shoulder joints run through those windows.

: Trailbreaker is shown on the box photography to have extra outward joints at the shoulders, which ''are'' there... unfortunately, they're blocked off by an engineering oversight where the round bottom edge of the upper arm joint doesn't account for the square block in the shoulder around which it's supposed to swing. Unscrewing the back of the upper arm panel and slicing off the colliding corner of said block unlocks the joint. Trying to force it otherwise stands a good chance of snapping the upper arm off.

:This figure was retooled into ''Masterpiece'' [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Hoist]] and then in turn into [[Riggorus]], the latter of which comes with a force field accessory meant to double as Trailbreaker's cartoon inspired force field.

:Private Trailbreaker, Infantry-Fortification & Defense is one of forty-eight double-sided character cards available in Wave 3 of the [[Transformers Trading Card Game]], War for Cybertron: Siege I.

:The card's art reuses line-art from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game, and is based on the ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Trailcutter toy. The line-art for Alt Mode was drawn by [[Dan Khanna]]. The artwork is recolored seemingly to match the aesthetic of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' toyline's packaging art.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneTrailbreaker.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
*Trailbreaker's mold was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "4WD Hi-Lux", available in three different colors: black, blue, or yellow. The blue version was sold by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in North America as the ''[[Diakron]]'' "DK-3" Car/Robot in [[1983]], seemingly just a few months before the toy would be rebranded as a Transformer. There is an easy way to tell the black ''Diaclone'' 4WD Hi-Lux apart from a ''Transformers'' Trailbreaker, though—the ''Diaclone'' toy's vehicle mode stickers have a yellow background.
*A preliminary version of the G1 Hoist toy [[:File:Hoist-pre Toy Fair 1985 catalogue.jpg|in Trailbreaker-style black]] appeared in a catalogue.
*The ''Combiner Wars'' Trailbreaker tooling had a "pretooled" alternate head as [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Notes|Hoist]], but this was ultimately not used for any figures.
*Glaringly, Trailbreaker's appearance in [[:File:WFC-Earthrise-main-artwork.jpg|the packaging mural]] for ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'' is drawn according to [[#Generations|his ''Thrilling 30'' toy]] rather than [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|his ''Earthrise'' toy]].

===Other attempts===
There are quite a few ''Transformers'' toys that were at one point in their development supposed to be a new form for (or tribute to) Trailbreaker, but before the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class toy, all of these became other characters with other names, most likely due to [[Hasbro]]'s inability to secure the [[trademark]].

Trailbreaker's appearance in the [[3H Productions|3H]] [[Transformers: Universe (comic)|''Universe'' comic]] stems from early plans to release a Trailbreaker redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[X-Brawn]] mold as a convention exclusive in [[2003]]. Reportedly, Hasbro themselves also had the same idea for the mass retail 2003 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' Deluxe Class assortment, but due to the aforementioned reasons, the toy was ultimately given a different deco and released as "[[Ratchet (Universe)|Autobot Ratchet]]" instead.

Later, a [[redeco]] of the ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Spychanger]] [[Ironhide (RID)#Universe (2003)|Ironhide]] was released as a [[Walmart]]-exclusive under the ''Universe'' banner, a black pickup truck with the distinctive red and yellow stripes from Trailbreaker's original toy. Ultimately, this toy would be released as ''Universe'' Ironhide instead. Years later, the Facebook edition of [[Ask Vector Prime]] would [[Repurposing|repurpose]] the toy as Trailbreaker, restoring the original intent.

The original Trailbreaker toy was also among a list of [[Generation 1 reissues|reissues]] intended for release as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' found in Australian [[Toys"R"Us]] computers, but with the cancellation of the ''Commemorative Series'', these plans never came to fruition.

The next attempt was in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line, the toy that would eventually become [[Swindle (G1)#Alternators|Swindle]] and later [[Rollbar (G1)#Alternators|Rollbar]]. A [[retool]] of the [[Hound (G1)/toys#Alternators|Hound]] Jeep Wrangler toy, its head is a cross between the original Trailbreaker toy's helmet and the cartoon model's face, surprisingly similar to [[Dan Khanna]]'s rendition of the character in 3H's ''Universe'' comic. A black and white version of a proposed color guide for the unreleased Trailbreaker version of the sculpt was depicted in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book.

Finally, the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' Autobot [[Overhaul (Cybertron)#Toys|Overhaul]] was originally going to be called "Trailbreaker", and the head sculpt was to have more elements from the Generation 1 character's design. These plans were again scrapped, but the character's upgraded form, '''Leobreaker''', retains the "breaker" portion of the name, since "Leohaul" sounds really silly. (The name "Overcast" was temporarily considered, but quickly dropped again.)

'''''Transformers: Reactivate''''' is a cancelled online multiplayer game developed by [[Splash Damage]]. It was announced in [[December]] [[2022]] via a teaser trailer that was pretty scant on details, with a closed beta was planned to happen [[soon]]. However, due to an infamously troubled development cycle, nothing of the game was shown outside of that teaser for another ''763 days'', leaving many to question the state of the project. The project was ultimately announced as cancelled in [[January]] [[2025]], seemingly existing as little more than vaporware to the world at large.

In truth, however, the story was much more complicated. Spending nearly seven long years in development across two developers, the game was underwent multiple troubles that hampered development, and the bulk of our knowledge about the game come from anonymous development team members and leaks that showed more of the product than was ''ever'' officially confirmed, including playable characters, gameplay mechanics, and an attempted overall pivot from a microtransaction-laden multiplayer game to a premium single-player experience.

==Plot==
[[File: Transformers Reactivate screenshot20220812 06.jpeg|upright=1.4|thumb|"We can rebuild him."]]

Per the official site, "The gravest threat to [[human]]ity has arrived. And it's already won. [[Earth]] is no longer ours; it belongs to them. All we have left is our hope for the [[Autobot]]s, as we salvage them from the rubble left behind."

Social media pages for the game tell fans to "fight back against the Legion", indicating the name of the game's alien occupiers.

==Development history==
Calling the development of ''Transformers: Reactivate'' "tumultuous" would be like calling the Decepticons "kinda mean". From its quiet announcement to its ignominious end, the project went through a series of hardships throughout its development, much of which was never publicly announced. As a result, it's difficult to paint an exact picture of what happened…but we're going to try anyway. Thus, we have done our best to cobble together the following summary of events from public announcements, various leaks, postmortem analyses, and other various sources in an attempt to paint a clearer picture of why this game was never released. Some details will inevitably be wrong due to the secrecy surrounding the game and the nature by which much of this information was obtained, but barring any sort of additional tell-all from other members of either development team, this is probably the closest we're going to get to the full story..

Word of the game's existence first surfaced at the end of 2017, around the same time as [[Activision]]'s exclusivity deal with [[Hasbro]] to produce ''Transformers'' games came to an end. In Chinese holding company {{w|Leyou}}'s annual report for that year, they stated that they had entered into a licensing agreement with [[Hasbro]] back in August to produce a massively multiplayer online shooter based on the property, similar to their hit game ''{{w|Warframe}}'', and had tapped recently acquired American game studio {{w|Certain Affinity}} to develop it.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201118133639/https://www.files.services/files/359/2018/0420/20180420121501_95996174_en.pdf Leyou Technology Holdings Ltd. 2017 Annual Report] (archived)</ref> Not much would be said about the project for most of the following year, presumably because work was still very early, though Certain Affinity CEO Max Hoberman stated in an August 2018 interview that the project was both their biggest to date and their first time utilizing the free-to-play games as a service (GaaS) model.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=There's multiple transitions that we're going through as a company as we prepare for this. In that sense, both the Transformers game and Last Expedition have been designed from the ground up to be games as a service, to be games that become people's hobbies that they play day in and day out, for months and years, and that we're continuously improving and enhancing.|link=https://venturebeat.com/games/certain-affinity-is-ready-for-the-limelight-with-games-as-a-service-model/|name=Max Hoberman|site=VentureBeat|year=2018|month=08|day=04}}</ref> Leyou also confirmed in their annual report for that year that the game's budget had increased from $15 million to $33 million.<ref>[https://docslib.org/doc/4334356/annual-report-2018-report-annual-contents Leyou Technology Holdings Ltd. 2018 Annual Report] (archived)</ref>

The game was publicly announced by Leyou in August 2019 at the Chinajoy 2019 event, under the tentative title of ''Transformers Online'', and that it would be released for both PC and unspecified consoles (presumably the [[Xbox|Xbox Series X / S]] and [[PlayStation|PlayStation 5]], given the timeframe).<ref>[https://mmoculture.com/2019/08/leyou-ambitious-company-reveals-new-transformers-and-civilization-online-games/ Leyou – Ambitious company reveals new Transformers and Civilization online games – MMO Culture]</ref> This would be the main news about the game for the year, with nothing else of it mentioned by anyone involved aside from the fact that it was still being worked on. In January of 2020, a former Certain Affinity employee was found to have listed "''Transformers: Impact''" on their résumé, suggesting that this was the game's real title.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/certain-affinitys-transformers-online.1167054/page-17#post-17886902 jungle penguins on TFW2005]</ref> Later in July, Leyou issued a press release stating that they had invested another $10 million into Certain Affinity to improve the game, and that the game would be entering an open beta period [[soon]], with 70% of its "core gameplay" completed. <ref>[http://northeurope.blob.euroland.com/press-releases-attachments/1236288/HKEX-EPS_20200706_9346969-0.PDF Leyou Technologies Holdings Ltd. press release]</ref> A month later, Leyou made the announcement that British studio [[Splash Damage]], another developer under their purview, would be assisting with development going forward.<ref>[https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2020/0821/2020082100849.pdf Leyou Technologies Holdings Ltd. press release]</ref>

Things would take a bit of a turn in August 2020 when Chinese media conglomerate Tencent made a bid to acquire Leyou for $1.5 billion, which would ultimately be finalized in December.<ref>[https://www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platforms/tencent-officially-acquires-splash-damage-parent-leyou-in-1-5-billion-deal Tencent officially acquires Splash Damage parent Leyou in $1.5 billion dealTencent officially acquires Splash Damage parent Leyou in $1.5 billion deal — Game Developer]</ref> As a result of this, a handful of Leyou documents were made public, including what appeared to be early pitch slides for ''Transformers: Impact''. The slides described a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons over an alien superweapon called the Aegis, which is destroyed in the battle in a massive explosion that wipes out most of the Transformers; with the shards of the Aegis landing on Earth and starting to corrupt the planet, the remaining Autobots and Decepticons are forced to band together to survive. The presentation also elaborated on the gameplay loop, live service elements, and other plans, including the original planned release of Q4 2018 for early access and Q2 2019 for the full launch. Obvious, that didn't happen, leading to multiple date amendments in the presentation, with the most recent placing the hard deadline for launch as October 31, 2021 for the open beta, and April 30, 2022 for the full release; presumably hitting these dates was why Splash Damage was brought on to assist.<ref>[https://wccftech.com/transformers-online-mix-destiny-warframe-targeting-october-2021/ Transformers Online Designed as a Mix of Destiny and Warframe, Targeting October 2021 for the Open Beta — WCCFTech]</ref> Most of 2021 would go by without any further news, save for the name ''Transformers: Rise'' appearing on a Certain Affinity employee's résumé and an unspecified Chinese company registering "www.transformersrise.com", both seemingly pointing to a title change. However, it was also around this time that the public learned of massive walkouts at Leyou following the Tencent acquisition, including CEO Alexa Xu. Several former employees claimed that leadership had only acquired major licenses like ''Transformers'' and ''{{w|Lord of the Rings}}'' to make the company look better and potentially make more from the buyout, with no intention of ever actually finishing the games, though these claims were never substantiated.<ref>[https://www.scmp.com/tech/policy/article/3145836/why-tencent-spent-us13-billion-buy-video-gaming-firm-leyou-left-it Analysis | Why Tencent spent US$1.3 billion to buy video gaming firm Leyou, but left it to languish — South China Morning Post[</ref> Regardless, the whole thing left people feeling a lot more apprehensive about the project, as by this point, not only had the "deadline" for the open beta come and gone, but not a single screenshot or piece of footage been officially released…

''UN''officially, however, late 2022 is when the leaks really started coming. Less of a leak, more of a dam bursting, really. In just a few months, tons of information and media from Certain Affinity's work up to that point started to make its way out into the public sphere, gathered from development team member websites and other anonymous sources. This included unfinished character models and renders, fully-voiced cutscene animatics, images of the UI, and more. This included the first details of the game's ''new'' story surfaced, which focused on an alien threat, which went through a few names before settling on "Legion", along with a ragtag band of human survivors working to restore the Transformers that were taken offline in the invasion.Though attempts were made by Hasbro and the dev team to take it all down and scrub the evidence from the internet, fans had already taken notice, and more continued to emerge over the course of the next two years, including actual gameplay footage. It was also around this time that fans pieced together from developer résumés that Certain Affinity had been taken off the project, with Splash Damage taking over as lead developer

On [[December 8]], [[2022]], the game was finally officially announced via a teaser trailer presented at {{w|The Game Awards 2022}}. Despite all the leaks up to that point, this was the first (and ultimately ''only'') time fans had gotten to see anything official of the game, as well as the first mention of the final title and the first public confirmation of development transitioning to Splash Damage. After another full year of radio silence, it was then announced in December 2023 that any further news on the game would be delayed until some unspecified time in 2024, due to the project being migrated to {{w|Unreal Engine 5}}<ref>{{citesocial|quote=We know that everyone has been patiently waiting for updates on TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE, however, we won't be revealing any new content this year. Your passion and enthusiasm powers our mission to create THE Transformers game fans have been waiting for, and we've now shifted to developing the game in Unreal Engine 5!

Transformers: Reactivate and Project Astrid are being built in Unreal Engine 5. Join us to help build those amazing worlds: https://careers.splashdamage.com #GDC #StateofUnreal|link=https://twitter.com/splashdamage/status/1638589439650799619|name=Splash Damage|site=Twitter|year=2023|month=03|day=22}}</ref>). This was the last official word on the game for a very long time, with 2024 coming and going without any further mention. The extended silence led a number of people to presume that the project had finally gotten the axe, and though many fans refused to believe it, the writing was on the wall. By June 2024, the game's trailer was silently delisted from the game's official accounts, likely as a result of the license for the trailer's music expiring. The game's Instagram page was similarly deactivated later that year.

Behind the scenes, however, things had hit a roadblock well before even that teaser trailer was released. Compared to the Certain Affinity builds, media of which continued to leak even after being taken off the project, Splash Damage kept things much more under wraps, with no media reaching the public sphere until after the game had already been cancelled. As a result, the majority of our knowledge of what happened during this period comes from a reddit post by an anonymous Splash Damage employee, who posted under the apt name "extfdev" after the cancellation was confirmed.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/1hxlmdy/comment/m6erepy/?rdt=38652|name=extfdev|site=Reddit|year=2025|month=01|day=10}}</ref> In their post, extfdev confirmed that Splash Damage had become the primary developer in 2021 and at first attempted to continue where they and Certain Affinity had left off, though many details such as the story and setting were in constant flux. It wasn't long, though, before they became very aware that the GaaS model wouldn't be doing the game any favors, with high-profile failures like ''{{w|Marvel's Avengers (video game)|Marvel's Avengers}}'' acting as a cautionary tale. As a result, the team decided to pivot the game to a big budget AAA standalone experience instead. The problem, however, was that beyond "make an awesome big budget Transformers game", nothing else ever really solidified in terms of direction.

According to extfdev, this came down to a lack of clear vision from the top-down: With their acquisition by Tencent, they were free to work on their own projects without having to settle for being a work-for-hire studio as they had been up to that point; however, without another company to provide direction on the project, Splash Damage struggled with finding that direction themselves. Multiple individuals took on project leadership roles, then forced the team to undo months of work by changing something they weren't happy with, before leaving and being replaced with someone else. This process repeated countless times and left the project stuck going in circles, constantly remaking what they had instead of making meaningful forward progress. Progression switched from open-world to level-based to a blend of the two likened to ''{{w|Tom Clancy's The Division}}''. Features like raid bosses and a horde mode were added and dropped. Characters were designed and redesigned and redesigned again. By the end, the team had created lots of unused assets...but no actual game. Tencent believed in the project enough that the original deadline was extended by a full year to try and save it, but by summer of 2024, Splash Damage only had one demo level to show for all their time and effort, and it became clear to everyone that the project wouldn't be able to be salvaged, forcing Tencent to pull the plug. With ''Reactivate'' helping keep the studio afloat, Splash Damage spent the next half year looking for someone to provide additional funding for the project or provide a new project for the team, but when those efforts failed, they made the hard decision to fully cut their losses.

The game was finally announced as cancelled via Splash Damage's Twitter account on [[January 8]], [[2025]]. Far more sobering was the accompanying announcement that the studio would be downsizing, leaving multiple hard-working employees jobless as a result of the aforementioned funding struggles, a depressing end to the whole unfortunate saga.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Today, we have some very difficult news to share, the decision has been made to end development of Transformers: Reactivate. This means we will be scaling down to refocus our efforts on other projects. Unfortunately, despite every effort, a number of roles across the studio are now potentially at risk of redundancy. This decision did not come lightly, and it is a difficult time for the studio and our people. We want to take a moment to thank the team who worked on Transofrmers for their dedication and passion. Hasbro was an incredible and supportive partner throughout, and we hope to work with them again. To the many fans, your excitement and support helped keep us going. While not being able to see the game through to release is painful, having to say goodbye to friends and colleagues hurts even more. We're now focused on doing everything we can to support them through this tough period, just as we are committed to caring for those who will stay with us as we build a stronger Splash Damage for the future. Thank you for your compassion and understanding. |link=https://twitter.com/splashdamage/status/1877020458454749485 |name=Splash Damage |site=Twitter |year=2025|month=01|day=08}}</ref> Some additional details have emerged in the time since, such as extfdev's post, [[Simon Furman]]'s confirmation that he was contributing to the story, and a little bit of footage from Splash Damage's last FTP build, but by and large, far as we can tell, the story of ''Reactivate'' is now officially over. [[Furmanism|Finished]].

==Toyline==
[[File:RiseBumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67| Released just a few months ahead of being sold as a concept art figure.]]
Standing testament to the game's fraught development cycle is the troubled tale of its tie-in toys from [[Hasbro]]. The first public evidence of these products surfaced in early 2021, when store listings under the codename "Shine" (as in "rise and shine") for a pair of two-packs were first discovered.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/im-drunk-and-from-leak-squad-i-quit-it-and-here-it-is-on-a-throwaway.1205827/page-597#post-19019847 TFW2005 post from Jtprime17]</ref> The packs' Hasbro product numbers (which are broadly assigned in numerical order) suggested they were developed around the same time as 2021's ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' toyline, and a confidential slide leaked years later indeed confirmed that, at one stage, these figures were intended to hit shelves late that year.<ref>[https://twitter.com/TFU_INFO/status/1714670388246978948 Leaked slide shared on Twitter by TFU.info]</ref>

The packs were delayed from that planned 2021 launch, no doubt in the hope of still aligning with the release of ''Reactivate'' itself, but with the game's development continuing to stretch on, it seems Hasbro eventually grew tired of waiting and officially launched both packs in November 2023—although some retailers inadvertently listed the Starscream/Bumblebee pack a month early, complete with an out-of-date set of [[stock photography]] which depicted the products in a ''Transformers: Rise''-branded box.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/10/18/first-look-at-transformers-rise-starscream-bumblebee-2-pack-496772 ''Rise'' stock photos on TFW2005]</ref>

The next year, and once again not in connection with any news or update on the game itself, Hasbro re-released the Bumblebee figure by itself in the ''[[Studio Series]]'' toyline's Deluxe Class assortment, as part of the line's "Gamer Edition" sub-branding.

Sideways (disambiguation)

2023-01-21T19:58:15Z

Victinoko:

{{disambig}}

[[File:Sidewayses.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.8|"He's Sideways! ''He's'' Sideways! ''You're'' Sideways! '''''I'm''''' Sideways! Are there any other Sidewayses I should know about?"]]
If you encounter a 'bot going by the name '''Sideways''', do not trust him! Throughout the [[multiverse]], the name is associated with cheats and liars. Most oftentimes, a Sideways's allegiances are to be questioned. Many of them claim to be helpful allies, but more often than not, they work for a [[Unicron|greater evil]]. Some would assume Sideways to be cowardly, but their true strength oftentimes lies in their speed and their cunning. A quick getaway today can assure that greater machinations come to fruition tomorrow. Some Sidewayses are known to possess dimension-hopping capabilities, and tracking which Sideways is responsible for what in whatever universe can be a tad confusing. Some of them have claimed to travel to other universes to slaughter and impersonate their native counterpart, or that Sidewayses are cloned from one another to fulfill their roles in multiple parallel events. Sidewayses are true sowers of confusion, and even if one were able to see past all the lies, one would still be hard-pressed to make sense of the chaos that they leave in their wake.

{{TOCclear}}
==Conceptual history==
The idea of Sideways being a dimensional traveler who's the same across his cross-continuity appearances has been built up over time, with fans and writers extrapolating wildly from loose connections between his earliest incarnations.

The original [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]], a 2002 ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' toy, was packaged with [[Axer (G1)|Axer]], whose on-package [[bio]] was adapted near verbatim from his original [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[Tech Spec]], with new material implying he'd crossed dimensions via a black hole.<ref>[https://toys.tfw2005.com/axer-662 ''Robots in Disguise'' Axer's package bio]</ref> The online bio for ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] toy, released a few months later, similarly matched that of the ''Robots in Disguise'' character,<ref>[https://toys.tfw2005.com/sideways-2-643 ''Robots in Disguise'' Sideways's package bio]</ref> with new material suggesting that his duplicity was the result of being pulled in two mental directions by his [[Mini-Con]]s<ref>[https://toys.tfw2005.com/sideways-with-rook-and-crosswise-814 ''Armada'' Sideways's online bio]</ref>—an aspect ignored by both cartoons and comics, which simply portrayed him as a pure agent of [[Unicron]]. Fans reasoned that if Axer was a dimension-hopper, then Sideways must be too.

It was misinformation surrounding the 2004 Japan-only ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' franchise that kicked this idea into overdrive. In Japan, the Sideways/Axer two-pack had been imported unchanged as a "[[USA Edition]]" release, while the Sideways from ''Armada'' (known in Japan as ''Legends of the Microns'') was called "Double Face"—the [[Sideways (RM)|''Robotmasters'' Double Face]] toy was named, colored, and described in bio in homage to this character. This alone would not imply them to be the exact same individual, but at the time fans understood the ''Robotmasters'' story to be about Transformers converging from various time periods ''and dimensions'', not unlike the contemporaneous ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' series—when in truth, it's only time travel taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|main Japanese continuity]]. Cementing this idea was a claim that the ''Robotmasters'' website had included a note declaring Double Face's first toy to be the earlier imported ''Robots in Disguise'' Sideways figure—a claim that, years later, would be found to be totally spurious, with no evidence of such a note ever having existed.

Sideways subsequently appeared in the 2005 ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' franchise, intended by Hasbro to be the same faction-swapping character from ''Armada'' (a fact cemented by supplemental material like ''[[Ask Vector Prime]]''). This idea was dropped in Japan, where he was again given an entirely different new name, "Noisemaze", with the cartoon—which was created to be separate from ''Armada'' and ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)| Energon]]''—treating him as a new character.

In the 2009 movie ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)| Revenge of the Fallen]]'', a character called [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] appeared, with absolutely nothing else connecting him to any prior Sidewayses. However, riffing on the by-then-common fandom perception of the character, 2011's ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The Allspark Almanac II]]'' cheekily presented an ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' "[[Sideways (Animated)|Land General Sideways]]" whose design combined aspects of the ''Armada'', ''Cybertron'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters, explicitly described as hailing from another dimension and implied to go on to become ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Sideways. Hidden ''Ask Vector Prime'' text in the Almanac's 2015 compilation successor ''[[Transformers Animated: The Complete AllSpark Almanac|The Complete Allspark Almanac]]'' would go on to explicitly state that, while not all incarnations of Sideways are the same exact character, ''all'' prior incarnations of Sideways were dimensional travelers who had crossed between multiple [[Universal stream|universal clusters]].

Of course, if all that seems confusing, it's nothing compared to the subsequent [[Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Facebook-based ''Ask Vector Prime'' feature]]. Helmed by ''Almanac'' author [[Jim Sorenson]], the online column was for a time taken over by Sideways himself, sporting the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' character's design and a goofy, snarky personality similar to that of ''Cybertron'' Sideways. This Sideways claimed to have been the one behind pretty much every instance of the character seen in the past, as well as many, many other events and disasters across the multiverse—however, in a depiction that seems even more fitting in retrospect, he was a self-admitted liar who seemingly took delight in confusing and frustrating everyone.

Given the ambiguity that results from a mixture of retcons and unreliable narrators, and the potentially enormous user-unfriendliness of [[#Ask Vector Prime|sticking strictly to the "canon" versions]] of the character, we have decided to present each [[continuity family]]'s version(s) of Sideways on their own page. Whether you choose to think of them as being all the same character, or all strictly separate, is [[personal canon|up to you]].

{{bigquote|Everything you think you know about me was a lie told by me to confuse someone, or conjecture from someone who'd be in no position to know. So yeah, maybe I'm a fragment of Unicron, because maybe Planet X used to BE Unicron. And maybe I'm his avatar made manifest and untethered once he collapsed into a giant singularity. And maybe I'm from the Cybertronian Empire. And maybe I'm just an ordinary Autobot who went crazy from Powerlinxing to the wrong Mini-Cons. Maybe I'm all of those things, or none.

And you know what the best part is? You'll. Never. Know.|Sideways on his identity situation, [[Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Sideways]]}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
According to [[Vector Prime]], the dimension-hopping Sidewayses of the multiverse included:
* The [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] of [[Tyran 509.12 Zeta]], who traveled to [[Aurex 402.24 Gamma|Aurex 402.0 Gamma]].
* A [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] from the [[Viron]] cluster, who traveled to [[Aurex 802.23 Alpha]], and made his way to "at least two or three other clusters" after that.
* Multiple separate [[Sideways (ROTF)#Xbox 360/Sony PS3/PC|Sidewayses]] from [[Tyran 609.23-XP Kappa]], at least one of which traveled to the [[Iocus]] cluster via [[Nexus Zero]].
* A Sideways from the [[Uniend]] cluster who briefly visited a [[Rovio (universal cluster)|Rovio]] stream.
* A [[Sideways (Armada)#Kre-O comic|Sideways]] from [[Fornax 813.0 Gamma]], who traveled to [[Tyran 207.28 Gamma]], survived being bisected, and was sent undercover to infiltrate [[Primax]] Autobots.
Vector Prime hoped this would clarify things, which was nice of him, if perhaps a little naive. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The Complete AllSpark Almanac|Ask Vector Prime, The Complete AllSpark Almanac}}

'''''Transformers The Game''''' is the video game adaptation of the [[Transformers (film)|2007 live-action movie]]. Developed by [[Traveller's Tales]] with cinematic cutscenes animated by [[Blur Studio]] for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii and PC via DVD-ROM, the game follows several of the movie's robotic characters through a loose approximation of the movie's plot. The game has two campaigns, one for each faction. It was the first Transformers game published by [[Activision]] in 21 years.

Several '''[[Transformers The Game|other versions]]''' of the title were released for other platforms.

==Synopsis==
===Autobots===
====Level 1: The Suburbs====
[[file:BumblebeeBarricadeGameFight.jpg|upright=1.25|thumb|left|BONK!]]
[[Bumblebee (Movie)/games|Bumblebee]] crashes down to [[Earth]], ending up in [[Bay Demolitions]]. The Autobot [[Scanning|scans]] a yellow Camaro, and is contacted by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/games|Optimus Prime]], who tells him to find an object that will help lead them to the missing [[AllSpark]], but warns him to beware [[Decepticon]] drones. Bumblebee zooms off to a construction site and defeats some of the drones, but even more drones fall from the sky, destroying major parts of the town until Bumblebee defeats them. After defeating them, he scans the corpses and discovers the Decepticons have found a [[Transformer]] code linked to [[Megatron (Movie)/games|Megatron]] in a [[Archibald Witwicky's glasses|family artifact]] of [[Sam Witwicky]]. Seeking to protect him the Decepticons, Bumblebee drives to his home and he overhears Sam's [[Ron Witwicky|father]] promise him he will buy him a car the next day. On Optimus's orders, Bumblebee races to [[Bobby Bolivia]]'s [[Bolivia's Finest Quality Used Cars and Petting Zoo|used car lot]], defeating more Decepticon drones marching through the streets along the way. With the path cleared, Bumblebee reaches Bolivia's and gets himself purchased by Sam.

The next day while Sam is at school, [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] attacks him, but Bumblebee stops the Decepticon, pursuing him to prevent further human casualties. After defeating Barricade, Bumblebee is ordered to destroy radio towers that have been hacked by the Decepticons to prevent the [[Autobot]]s from landing, then clear a landing zone. The Autobots touch down and scan new [[alternate mode]]s before gathering at the rendezvous point.

====Level 2: More Than Meets the Eye====
[[File:Shockwave movie.jpg|thumb|Logic, etc. etc.]]
[[file:JazzIsUselessMovie.jpg|upright=1.30|left|thumb|You... wouldn't happen to know where the Taco store is, would you?]]
After a very brief explanation of what is going on, [[Sector Seven]] finds the Autobots. In his new alt mode, Bumblebee takes Sam and [[Mikaela Banes]] to safety, while [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] distracts Sector Seven. Unfortunately, Jazz's luck runs out and he is eventually caught, only to be saved from the humans and a subsequent Decepticon drone attack by Ironhide.

Sector Seven manages to catch Bumblebee in a net and parades him around the city, but Optimus follow in vehicle mode and eventually catches hold. Before he can rescue his comrade, he is dislodged by the arriving Decepticon [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], who begins to destroy the city. Optimus and Shockwave clash, ultimately resulting in Shockwave's destruction. Investigating Shockwave's body, Optimus finds the glasses and intercepts a transmission from [[Starscream (Movie)/games|Starscream]] that the Decepticons have found Megatron in [[Hoover Dam]], along with the AllSpark. Their mission now clear, Optimus rolls out with the rest of the Autobots.

====Level 3: Inside Hoover Dam====
[[file:BumblebeeBay.jpg|upright=1.45|thumb|Micheal Bay endorses this message]]
In [[Hoover Dam]], Bumblebee is being held in a force field, but manages to escape when a power surge disables it. While exploring, Bumblebee discovers the AllSpark hidden behind a 'laser grid. Commanded by Prime to retrieve the relic, Bumblebee battles the security robots and destroys the command center consoles, only to discover this would not be enough to disable the grid. Next, Bumblebee desroyed a set of cooling fans, causing the generators powering the grid to overheat and explode. After destroying the last of the generators, Bumblebee entered the holding chamber andbegan to shrink the AllSpark to portable size fending of the security drones as he did so. Unfortunately, Megatron begins to thaw out and attacks Bumblebee as well. Bumblebee manages to escape with Sam, Mikaela, and the AllSpark, but Starscream and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] arrive at the dam shortly there after to release their leader.

====Level 4: The Last Stand====
[[file:JazzStarscreamBattle.jpg|thumb|left|Walk up to him slowly with your gun out, [[Starscream_(G1)/Generation_1_cartoon_continuity|because that ALWAYS works.]]]]
Upon arriving in [[Mission City]], the Allspark becomes overloaded with energy and creates some energon drones. Bumblebee loses control and gets himself stuck in a building, but is rescued by Ironhide. Starscream appears and begins attacking, but is swiftly engaged by Jazz, who kills Starscream, Blackout, and their drone minions. Unfortunately, [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] arrives and manages to finally finish Jazz off, angering Ironhide. After chasing Brawl throughout the city, Ironhide finally kills him and his drones, avenging Jazz's death.

Barricade tries to take the AllSpark, but Bumblebee confronts and kills him. Before he can savor his victory, Bumblebee is effortlessly flicked aside by Megatron. Fearing for their lives, Sam and Mikaela take the AllSpark and hide in one of the nearby buildings.

====Level 5: The Ultimate Doom====
Megatron manages to find Sam and Mikaela, but before he can grab the AllSpark, Optimus arrives and engages him in a final battle. After a long and grueling fight, Megatron finally goes down. Believing his foe vanquished, Optimus turns to Sam as the human hands him the AllSpark. However, Megatron reveals himself to still be alive and leaps at the heroes. Grabbing Megatron's flail, Optimus pulls the Decepticon towards him and shoves the cube into his chest, killing him.

Later, Optimus and the other Autobots reflect on the events that have transpired. Though the AllSpark is lost, they have found themselves a new home, one which Optimus now vows to protect.

===Decepticons===

====Level 1: SOCCENT Military Base====
[[File:VGBlackoutE1M3Intro.jpg|thumb|left|"Time for a delicious, cool... what? [[Pepsi]]?!"]]

Blackout shot down an MH-53 and scanned it as his vehicle mode, and then proceeded to the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]]. At [[Starscream (Movie)/games|Starscream's]] command, he destroys the entire base.

[[File:VGBlackoutE1M4Intro.gif|thumb|"Damn it, Scorponok, that is NOT my [[Powerlinx]] plug!"]]
Some humans managed to scramble their communication vehicles, and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was dispatched to deal with the situation and succeeded. Meanwhile, Blackout went to destroy a communication array, hoping to steal their mainframes and data, since they contained important information about the location of the AllSpark.

Scorponok then returned to Blackout, whereupon Starscream informed that some human reinforcements were on the way to prevent their escape, but Blackout managed to destroy them all. After that, Starscream informed them that there wasn't any concrete information on the data, but a human was in possession of an artifact whose origin matched with the information they acquired. Blackout and Scorponok then leave Qatar.

====Level 2: The Hunt For Sam Witwicky====

Barricade landed in Tranquility, and scanned a Saleen S281 police car near a donut store (because cops like donuts) and got in contact with Starscream. Starscream informed him he was there to find the artifact, which happened to be a pair of glasses. and that Barricade must do it before the Autobots do.

[[File:VGBarricadeE2M2Intro.jpg|thumb|This is what is technically known as a bad idea.]]
Starscream informed Barricade that they might not be the only Transformers in the area, and ordered him to investigate. Driving around town, he was attacked by Autobot drones. After destroying all the drones in the area, Starscream told him to head to the power plant in order to find [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who discovered interesting information about their mission. Upon arrival, Barricade encountered Sector Seven, who had captured Frenzy. Finding himself dealing with a Sector Seven SUV which could enter buildings, Barricade tore down all the nearby buildings in his search for Frenzy. However, he became trapped inside a Sector Seven SUV whose drivers used the explosions caused by the Decepticon to their advantage, escaped the building and hid inside another one without causing damage (because they're Sector Seven, they knew how to do that).

After repeating this several times, Barricade eventually cornered Frenzy's captors at the local shopping mall, destroying the entire building and killing everyone inside. After freeing Frenzy, he passed all the information that he gathered to Barricade, who then contacted Starscream with the information. Frenzy discovered that a human named Sam Witwicky was in possession of the artifact that revealed the location of Megatron.

[[File:VGBarricadeE2M4Gameplay.gif|left|thumb|This is what you'll be doing for approximately 90% of the time you're in Tranquility, so get used to it.]]
Bumblebee then showed up heading for the police station, forcing Barricade stop the Autobot in order to find Sam. This forced Bumblebee to use a shockwave attack that destroyed a huge area of town by accident every time he used it and stunned Barricade. Still, Barricade won the upper hand against Bumblebee, then chased him down to the local [[Bay Demolition]], only to be ambushed by Autobot drones who were hiding there. Barricade defeated all of them.

Barricade collected information about Sam through the databank in the police station. There, he cornered Sam with Mikaela, but when he was about to attack them, Bumblebee intervened, picked them both up and escaped to safety. Then, Bumblebee returned to engage him.

By using the same tactics from their last encounter, Barricade defeated Bumblebee. Knowing what will happen if he kept fighting, Bumblebee drove off, Barricade followed, and they battled again. Bumblebee was eventually killed. Barricade then threatened to harm the humans if Sam didn't give him the glasses. Sam then gave up the glasses and fled. Sam and Mikaela were then surrounded by Sector Seven and placed under arrest.

====Level 3: A Gathering Force ====

With the location of Megatron and the AllSpark now known, Starscream gathered the remaining Decepticons. He approached a secret human airbase to search for [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and Brawl, but upon arriving his radar was jammed by local human communications equipment. Frenzy, who decided to speak in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian]] to be annoying, came in contact with Starscream to request locations to destroy. After doing that, Bonecrusher was located.

[[File:VGStarscreamE3M4Gameplay.jpg|thumb|"Brawl! You're a tank! Use your tank parts!" "I can't, I'm shy." "What?!"]]
[[File:VGStarscreamE3M3Intro.jpg|left|thumb|"None shall stand in my way!" "Your talking privileges are hereby revoked, Bonecrusher."]]
Bonecrusher had stealthily hidden himself until he was surrounded by turrets firing paralyzing electrical energy at him. Starscream, rather than reprimanding him for this idiocy, destroyed turrets and escorted him onto the runway. They found themselves surrounded by flying drones, which upon careful inspection (actually consisting of shooting down the aircraft, picking it up and then throwing it away) had actually been made using technology based on Megatron's biology. Realizing this, Starscream no doubt viewed destroying these vehicles as useful practice.

Following on from this, Brawl got the courage to move out, and Bonecrusher went to meet with him. They immediately encountered` human tanks that fires the same electricity that paralyzed Bonecrusher earlier. Starscream then went to do everything himself again, flying back and forth using everything he has to destroy the tanks and save his rather apathetic comrades from self-imposed doom. With the base destroyed and all the Decepticons united, Starscream then ordered them all to make for the rendezvous point.

Starscream and Blackout arrived at the [[Hoover Dam]] and started to destroy it, some Autobot Drones who managed to secretly follow Sam and Mikaela's kinnapers to their base tried to defend it but to no avail, as in the end, Megatron was finally free. Starscream and Blackout then bowed before their lord, who then declared they have much to do.

====Level 4: City of the Machines====

Because of everything that happened in Hoover Dam, the Autobots managed to set the humans free and they got the cube. Megatron sent his Decepticons ahead of him except for Starscream, Brawl and Bonecrusher, who would proceed to Mission City. Barricade arrived there and informed Megatron that Sam went into hiding with the AllSpark, Megatron asks him if he knows what will be at stake if he fails, but Barricade stated that it will be done.

[[File:VGBlackoutE4M3Gameplay.jpg|left|thumb|"I didn't touch anything!"]]
Jazz was protecting Sam and Mikaela when Barricade arrived. Jazz ordered both of them to get away so that he and Barricade could fight. After taking too much damage, Jazz knew that he would suffer Bumblebee's fate if he kept fighting and decided to run away.

[[File:VGMegatronE4M4Guitar.jpg|thumb|Megatron prepares to unleash his impression of [[Soundwave (Animated)|someone else]].]]
Barricade managed to catch up to Jazz and killed him, his last words being "Optimus, I tried". Megatron detected an huge energy signature coming from the city's park and ordered Scorponok to determine what it was. There, they discovered the AllSpark caused various machines to come to life. Scorponok had to kill all the [[Energon drone|Energon drones]] in the area before more were generated. After all of them were destroyed, Scorponok threatened the humans if they don't give the AllSpark to him. Sam was about to hand over the AllSpark when Ironhide intervened and ordered Sam to flee while he took care of the scorpion-esque Decepticon. Blackout was angered by this mistreatment of his pet, and vowed to give Ironhide the honor of dying by his blade.

[[File:BlackoutIronhideFightE4M4.jpg|thumb|This is what is technically known as CHEATING.]]
Ironhide used every weapon he had: every Autobot drone type except for Mixmaster and Dreadwing, and Ironhide himself used the dastardly tactic of being invincible for most of the battle, unleashing a never-ending torrent of rockets which Blackout could do nothing about whenever he approached Ironhide too closely. He only became vulnerable after all the drones in the area were destroyed. Despite this, Blackout finally killed him, Mikaela and Sam told Optimus what happened to them and so Optimus decided to hide them in a safe place himself.

Megatron finally arrived in the city, where he formulated a plan to take possession of the AllSpark once and for all. This plan consisted of Megatron trying to coax Optimus out of hiding by destroying the city at random, and after destroying a huge part of it, Megatron followed a beacon sent by Prime, thinking he would fight him there, only to be ambushed by some Autobot drones. This led to Megatron destroying multiple waves drones across the city; he finally found Optimus Prime at the top of the tallest building in the city, and climbed it. When he reached the top, they both battled and fell back to the streets.

====Level 5: Day of the Machines====
[[File:TFTG Decepticon Ending Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]

Back on the ground, the final battle began. This largely consisted of Megatron attacking Prime with every melee attack he had. After some attacking, Optimus would run away while Megatron fought the drones. After the Drones were destroyed, Megatron then flew around, trying to find Optimus who was with Sam, protecting the AllSpark. Soon, Megatron found them and Sam escaped, allowing both of them to continue the battle. Eventually, Optimus got exhausted and Megatron hit him in the head using his whip-chain with all his strength, killing him. Megatron finally took the cube and absorbed it, creating a fire wave that killed everyone in the area.

Life on Earth as we know is now over. Megatron decided that the [[Atlantis, Arise!|Lincoln Memorial would make a fine throne from which to rule the world]]. All the Decepticons who were absent from the battle joined together to watch the eradication of the human race. After sitting in his new throne, Megatron sent his Decepticons to finish conquering the planet, since they were done here. Barricade thought himself suitable for the job and he obliged, and promptly got up while the others watched.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>While Bonecrusher does not speak in the game, Riordan is credited with voicing him in the game's credits. Unused voice clips of his (and Brawl's) can be found in the game's files.

==Gameplay==
In each chapter, players control a pre-determined Autobot or Decepticon, and are placed in a small open-world area they can freely explore. All the robots can walk, run, evade, jump, transform into a vehicle and vice-versa, climb walls, block attacks and have six attack types: light ranged weapon, heavy ranged weapon, melee attack, and the abilities to grab and throw objects such as cars, lamp posts, trees, etc, use a long object like a lamp post as a sword, and to use an special attack which can only be executed when pressing the melee attack button while holding the block button.

Each of the playable characters have different statistics and properties. For example, Barricade and Bumblebee are the most evenly balanced, Starscream does higher weapon damage and lower melee damage, and Ironhide has the highest ammo capacity of any character.

===Drone Variants===
Both sides of the conflict have access to drones, and thus each side has random encounters that you will occasionally have to battle in small skirmishes. Each has their own AI and attack pattern, along with set weaknesses.

* '''Scrappers''': The grunts of this game, but not necessarily the most common. Their AI is a relatively simple one in that they just shoot a missile at you, and than charge at you and try to melee you the rest of the way. They cannot shield themselves from gunfire which makes these guys easy to destroy in hordes.
*'''Swindles''': The common mooks of this game, and the most frequently encountered not just in missions but in those small little out-of-story skirmishes. They frequently charge at you 1 missile at a time, and once in melee range they will try to punch you. They can shield themselves, but it's very uncommon, and they can easily be dispatched.
*'''Dropkicks''': The "heavy lifters" of the common drone type, they're usually seen using Swindles as cannon fodder and firing missiles at you from a distance. They are also the only drones smart enough to throw stuff at you, and autoblock attacks from all ranged weapons except for Blackout’s heavy weapon.
*'''Longarms''': The most common of the "Throw stuff at them to make them stop" types, these guys walk up to you slowly while flailing around a giant and long wire cable with a hook attatched to it, knocking the poor player all over the place. Throwing cars is not advisable though, unless you are Optimus Prime, seeing as when most characters throw cars, it's thrown from above, so it will usually hit the top of the hitbox instead of hitting the Longarm drone.
*'''Payloads''': These drones charge at you headfirst, but their reckless charge means you can jump around them. Once they start looking around aimlessly, throw something at them or punch them to knock them out of the AI state. They will go back into charging phase after you land a hit, so be sure to combo them before running away. Be prepared, since they always come in pairs.
* '''Dreadwings''': Dreadwings are uncommon drones that, when encountered, will fly in and land in a ring of expanding fire that will launch you away from them. They will then have the audacity to run at you nonstop, and spam their flamethrowers. And the flamethrowers have a deceptively ''large'' range, making it hard for you as the player to throw items at them. And once you land a decent combo on them, they fly away, regain about 5% of their health, and come back at you, forcing you to repeat the same process until they are defeated.
* '''Mixmasters''': The most uncommon type of drone encountered, these guys cannot be damaged by conventional means, and require that you grab an object, throw it at them, knock them over, pick them up, and throw them at a random building or onto the floor. Their slow speed makes them relatively easy to fight though, as you can usually knock them down extremely easily, but they can easily kill an unprepared player as their missiles deal some massive damage.

===Sub Missions===
Represented by large glowing boxes containing symbols of said Sub Mission, they provide challenges for those who wanted to pay energon cubes to play a "mini-game" where the player must complete the objective before time runs out. So if you want to unlock everything, or just take a break from what's happening in the story mode? Well, good news for you; every single time you beat a Sub Mission, a new mini-game opens up, offering more energon cubes in exchange for more energon cubes and maybe the occasional bonus content.

Sub Missions come in six types:
*Hunt: Hunt down all the vehicles and destroy them. (You just chase down and destroy a bunch of cars within the time limit. It would be easier were it not for the driving).
*Scavenger: Find all the cogs within the marked area. (They're not really well hidden, and the map shows them in little green blips, so it's pretty easy).
*Attack: Defeat all the enemies. (It's very easy, mostly because this is just a challenge version of the average drone battles in the game).
*Sumo: Push all the opponents out of the ring. Careful you don't get knocked out! (It's WAY harder than it looks, mostly due in fact that Longarms just exist, and Mixmasters are the most common enemy types faced here. You heard that right, '''MIXMASTER DRONES.''').
*Race: Race to the finish line. (Every checkpoint does lower the timer, but you lose time for transforming, which happens often because the buildings are coated with a substance that makes you transform the moment you touch it. And you have to race in order to reach the checkpoints in time. Are you mad? '''''YOU WILL BE''''').
*Destruction: Destroy the place within the marked area. (This is a challenge version of the missions in the Decepticon campaign where you have to destroy the area. No wonder why this Sub Mission isn't available to play in the Autobot campaign).

===Cybertron Levels===
A "Bonus Level" set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] is unlocked after completing all oher levels, one for each campaign. Players control Optimus Prime or Megatron, with their ability to transform disabled, and must destroy 35 drones to complete the level. Unfortunately, Cybertron's look in both levels doesn't resemble the G1 cartoon, nor the opening cinematic or the scenes from the movie.

===Unlockables===
The game includes a "Bonus Features" menu with several items to be unlocked. These unlockables can be obtained via any or all of the following methods:
*Collecting 15 glowing yellow cubes (100 hidden per level). Technically some levels do contain only 95 cubes, but when playing the level 'A Gathering Force', the player is automatically awarded 5 cubes.
:Note: One does not need to collect 15 cubes in a single level to unlock a bonus feature; the game counts total cubes found, and once 15 are collected, a bonus feature is unlocked. This explains why there are 100 cubes in each level, even though bonus features are only unlocked every 15 cubes.
*Collecting a hidden Autobot or Decepticon faction symbol, with five hidden on each level.
*Completing a chapter.
*Completing a sub mission.
*Completing a level, including the bonus Cybertron levels
*Completing a skill, including: Throw, Speed (when in land vehicle mode), Slide (when in land vehicle mode), Jump (when in land vehicle mode), Evil (for Decepticons), Heroic (for Autobots) and Destruction (for Decepticons).

The unlockable bonus features are separated into three sections:
* Bonus Movies: consisting of four commercials for the 2007 movie and the intro sequences of the ''[[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|Armada]]'', ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]'', and ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]]'' cartoons.
* Bonus Gallery: an image gallery with 158 images in total. Featuring concept art, toy box art images, models of the characters seen in game, and covers of past Transformers comics by [[Marvel Comics]], [[Dreamwave Productions]], and [[IDW Publishing]].
* G1 characters: five alternate character skins, including the following:
**Three toy-inspired "skins" can be unlocked, including [[Jazz (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Generation 1 Jazz]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys|Robo-Vision Optimus Prime]] (minus flames) and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys|Generation 1 Starscream]] (minus the resculpted head).
*(Similarly, one can unlock Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], replacing their movie counterparts with new 3D models as opposed to simple skin recolors. Optimus Prime converts into his original truck mode, but [[Transformers: Go-Bots (franchise)|fires from his fists]] rather than using his trademark [[ion blaster]]. Megatron cannot transform into his gun mode, but instead starts flying in robot mode when the "transform" button is pressed.

==Achievement list==
When completing various goals and tasks during the game, Xbox 360 players will be rewarded as part of the "Achievement" meta-goal system. Each Achievement has a Gamerscore value that adds to the player's total Gamerscore across all games played; up to 42 Achievements collectively worth 1000 Gamerscore can be earned in ''Transformers The Game''. The other versions do not feature any in-game achievements, as the game was not released on Steam and predates the implementation of the Trophy system on PlayStation 3.

==Cut and unused content==
[[File:CONTROLLERSCREEN SKORPONOK PC.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:TFTG_Unused_City_BurgerKing_Megatron.jpg|thumb|[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxhjAiP9hk8 "Yeah, a whopper. No cheese, no onions."]]]
[[File:HooverExt-TransformersTheGame.jpg|thumb|If you saw this video as a kid and couldn't find this place in-game, then you know the pain — especially when a dumbass classmate kept lying to you about it being a secret unlockable level screw you Tim I want my Pokémon trading cards back and (...)]]

''The Cutting Room Floor''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s page for the game <ref>https://tcrf.net/Transformers:_The_Game_(Windows)</ref> reveals some interesting leftover content datamined from the internal files, and boy, this game has a lot of it. Among these are:

*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkwobdKzzQA&list=PL3XAX4htSEIU01KK49biOAMbXCFLWEJO6&index=80 There are a few debug options leftover in all versions of the game.]
*A variant of the [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drone crudely textured with a shoddily compressed [[Pepsi]] livery, most likely cut early in development.
*There are unused special abilities in the game's files, with most of them based on concept art, including:
**A reel in ability for the Longarm Drones, being able to reel the player in with their hook and attack them.
**A special shield ability for the Mixmaster Drones, being able to ricochet shots to the player and having a more powerful counter attack.
**An electrocute ability for the Scrapper Drones, being able to jump on the player and electrocute them.
**A pickup ability for the Dropkick Drones, being able to pick up and throw the player while standing.
**A healing ability possibly meant for Ratchet, being able to heal the player.
**An unknown "SapEnergy" ability with no mention of it anywhere other than the combat script file, unknown how it would work or who would use it.
*A strange retexture of Bumblebee in the classic Camaro form that replaces most of his distinctive yellow with a muddy dark red, oddly titled as "evilbumblebee" in the game files. We have no idea how it got there or what its purpose was, though it does sound heavily exploitable for a creepypasta if anyone's interested in writing one.
*On the PS3 version, there are a lot, and I mean ''A LOT'' of unused character files and folders, including Bumblebee_BCK, an early version of the Hi-Res Bumblebee model with it's own animations. This was primarily seen in promotional screenshots of the game.
*Two orchestral tracks, "mx_city_barricade_1" and "mx_city_skorponok_1", were cut from the final Mission City chapters. Both are still available in full as .wav files.
*There are multiple unused VFX listings in the files, with there being a VFX listing for a Grenade.
*Seven cutscenes (one for '''More Than Meets The Eye''', one for '''Inside Hoover Dam''', one for '''The Ultimate Doom''', and four for '''A Gathering Force'''.) were cut from the final release. All of these can be found on Youtube. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKD7jCplFNo</ref>
*A cut controller screen for Scorponok exists on all platforms with their respective console controllers. Controller screens are used for loading into a level, so maybe there was a cut Scorponok level? We'll let this wiki decide.
*If you play with the High-Res city files on Low-Res mode on PC, a weird early and unfinished city appears when you load into the level. It features cut [[Pepsi]] signs and even a [[Burger King]] replacing Chip Chase's!
*An unused version of Optimus Prime's gun with animations, based on concept art. A picture of Optimus with this gun out can be seen on the back of the packaging for the game. Oops.
*There are tons of unused dialogue on all versions, with the most notable being the PS3 version, with prototype grunt sounds, Optimus saying you've won a mission or lost voiced by [[Peter Cullen]] himself, and alternate takes of all of Ironhide's lines.
*A buttload of unused animations. Brawl, Bonecrusher, Blackout, Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream all have downed animations, but none for being picked up. Starscream has a scrapped climbing animation, and Brawl, Bonecrusher, and most of the drones have unused object-grabbing animations.
*There are also some unused sounds, such as splashing into water.
*An entire level set in the exterior of Hoover Dam was to be featured in both campaigns, internally named HOOVEREXT for the Autobots and HOOVERDAM for the Decepticons. It was first discovered through surviving text strings assigned to a nonexistent level with the aforementioned name, describing a Decepticon attack culminating in a fight against Bonecrusher for the Autobots and the resurrection of Megatron for the Decepticons, corresponding with the order of events shown in the film. This was further corroborated by multiple making-of featurettes, where footage of an earlier beta build of the game shows what clearly is an exterior map of Hoover Dam that isn't featured anywhere in the actual retail release.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I97UImtAQ6g</ref> For a while, these appeared to be the only surviving remains of Hooverext, leading the small but dedicated modding community for the game to speculate that whatever was left of the map would never get to see the light of day - that is, until TT Games founder Jon Burton streamed a look at two prototype builds featuring the fabled level on his GameHut YouTube channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5d9G0SQw_8</ref> This reinvigorated the interest of modders, which until now had primarily worked on the PC version of the game, and led to the idea of instead datamining the console releases. Finally, only a couple of weeks later, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE01Os_O76c the entire playable level was surprisingly discovered lurking in the Wii version all along!] In another note, the entire playable level was also discovered on the PS3 version, but it has two versions, a default one for Hi-Res with broken mountains, and a Low-Res version, which is a copy of the Xbox 360 prototype version of the level for some reason. Both levels suffer from their programming being from an outdated version of the engine, which makes these levels from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rg3YJeqWLM easy to straight up unplayable.]
**There are also [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M83Dwx-AGQY two] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTxxmOckjFg cutscenes] surviving from the deleted stage (with one of them being briefly featured in one of the aforementioned making-of videos), as well as multiple strings of dialogues for the Chapters in the Level. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDm710zwUxg</ref>
***The final retail version includes the dam in a pre-rendered cutscene at the end of Mission 3 on both campaigns. This uses the once playable map as a basis, similarly to how most other FMVs in the game were rendered using pre-existing maps as background.
**On a complimentary note, both the [[Transformers The Game (PSP)|Playstation Portable]] and [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS]] versions of the game feature levels set in the exterior of Hoover Dam, making the removal of this one an interesting oddity.
**Some of the music tracks in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen videogame]] have their in-game files labelled with the prefix "mx_hoover_ext", suggesting that they might have been directly re-purposed from this extinct level. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhaoVtEPfO0</ref>
**There are unused voicelines relating to the HooverExt missions by Optimus Prime on the PS3 version of the original game.
*There are also other unused <s> Tranquility </s> levels in this game, such as BLACKOUTTRANQUILITY, TESTTRANQUILITY, AUTOBONUS1, CVIEW, and STARTSCREEN. CVIEW and STARTSCREEN are thought to be the character model viewer and the early version of the start screen, but only have one file and that is their LEVEL.CFG, making them completely unplayable. The other levels, however, are playable. BLACKOUTTRANQUILITY doesn't have accessible missions, but the SPLINE.DAT reveals that the level has early data of The Hunt for Sam Witwicky level. TESTTRANQUILITY is a test level used for testing the various AI of each of the characters and submissions. AUTOBONUS1 was possibly going to be a bonus level unlockable after completing the Autobot campaign, in which you collect and throw 10 dounts. The counter is broken, so that means if you do what the level wants you to do, the level doesn't end, and you'll be stuck until you exit the level or the timer runs out.
*As seen in the aforementioned GameHut livestream, other levels also suffered substantial alterations between their early builds and the final retail version. Whereas some locations like Tranquility and Mission City remain pretty much identical in alphas dating back as far as November 2006, others like the interior of Hoover Dam and the bonus Cybertron levels were entirely redesigned from the ground up. The former featured a tighter, somewhat more movie-accurate look and layout that ended up being discarded in favor of the wider industrial area seen in the final game, whereas the latter was a surprisingly massive map directly based on artwork from the brief flashback sequence in the film.

==Release==
===Versions===
[[File:TransformersTheGame 2007 consolecovers.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|One of these things is not like the others...]]
*'''PlayStation 2'''
**The PS2 version is the highest-reviewed, despite limitations on draw distance, physics and damage persistence. In this version, Blackout, Starscream and Barricade start missions 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Decepticon campaign in their altmodes, while for some reason the PS3 version has them start as robots. Reviews noted it suffers from fewer frame rate issues than other versions.
*'''Nintendo Wii'''
**The Wii version is very similar to the PS2 version, with the addition of motion-sensor gimmicks that [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/transformersthegame?q=transformers reviewers were resoundingly unimpressed by].
*'''Xbox 360'''
**The 360 version featured improved graphics, more persistent environmental damage, and more physics objects, including ridiculous clouds of rubble that eject themselves from buildings if you so much as look at them funny. The latter is generally annoying, since they get in the way when driving.
**The 360 version, as might be expected, also features Achievements, though calling them that is somewhat of an exaggeration. There's one for pressing the "transform" button once. This version suffers less from frame rate issues and has better lighting than the PS3 version.
**It was also available in a limited "Cybertron Edition" that featured exclusive packaging art, a "Making Of" DVD, a code to unlock the [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] bonus levels early, and [[Movie Prequel issue 1|issue 1 of the ''Transformers'' movie prequel comic]] by [[Simon Furman]], [[Don Figueroa]] and [[Josh Burcham]]. It was exclusive to Gamestop/EB stores.
**For 500 Microsoft points, players can download an add-on that unlocks everything in the game. While this does not disable Achievements like the cheat codes do, a message that reads ''"This item has been unlocked by a downloadable content pack"'' appears below any bonus features that have not been earned through gameplay.
*'''PlayStation 3'''
**The PS3, like the 360 version, featured the same improved graphics, environmental damage, and extra physics objects. The same flaws, however, still apply to how the environmental damage and physics objects interact with the player. Oops.
**The PS3 version suffers from more frame rate issues than the 360 version, typical of lazy porting. For some reason, this includes frame rate issues in the FMV cinematics when the console itself ''isn't doing anything''.
**SixAxis motion control is also added for Decepticons with aircraft altmodes ([[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], [[Starscream (Movie)/games|Starscream]] and [[Megatron (Movie)/games|Megatron]]). It's disabled by default.
*'''PC DVD-ROM'''
**The PC version is exactly like the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. It, however, does not feature the same exclusive flaws or bonuses of either console version. The physics are still crazy, though. The loading screens replaces the instructions of how to play with images from the opening and cinematics and allow players to setup the controller the way it so chooses.
**High-Detail mode on PC suffers from a multitude of issues. The projectile models are missing on PC for High-Detail, meaning you'll be shooting nothing but special effects. High-Detail Airbase suffers from broken road textures, rendering most of the roads in pitch black. None of these issues are present on PS3/360.

===Reception===

The game's Metacritic scores [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/transformersthegame?q=transformers hover] [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/transformersthegame?q=transformers around] [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/transformersthegame?q=transformers fifty-five] [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/transformersthegame?q=transformers percent]. It was criticised for poor driving controls, blocky graphics, repetitive missions and dull combat but generally praised by the random destruction.

==Technical errors and oddities==

* You cannot destroy the top halves of buildings, but the bottom halves of the buildings are susceptible to all sorts of damage.
** Alongside that, you can climb on thin air.
*Transformer Protoforms have to [[Trans-scan|scan]] their altmodes after landing as per the movie; however, drones have an Earth vehicle altmode the instant they land; presumably, so does Shockwave, since Tranquility is a little light on purple Apaches or purple howitzers.
*In the second chapter of "The Suburbs", Swindle drones are ''walking down the street'' to Sam's house. '''WHY''' they even bother to have altmodes is not clear.
*The residents of Tranquility are apparently capable of rebuilding a power station's gas tank farm within less than an hour, then rebuilding the entire tank farm and three of the chimneys ''again'' within less than six.
*Autobots still have the "Destruction" unlock gauge appear, but it crosses out faction symbols rather than having them appear. If it's filled, a large red X goes to the left side of the screen instead of a faction symbol; however, whether by accident or design, this doesn't actually do ''anything'', and the Autobots are free to be as destructive as the Decepticons. It doesn't help that this gauge is filled by causing damage to ''any'' scenery and has to be maxed out multiple times while destroying, for example, the clamps that hold the All Spark.
*The final Autobot mission in Hoover Dam's depiction of the defrosting Megatron is all kinds of screwy:
**Before the mission is triggered, he's shown covered in a layer of ice.
**In the pre-mission cutscene, there's suddenly not a hint of ice on him at all. When Bumblebee walks near him, his head turns to look at the Autobot, despite the fact he's supposed to be frozen and immobile.
**As the mission starts, he's encased in ice again, save his left arm which is shifted to the left (his left) of the section of ice that should be around it, which is just kind of hanging there.
**When the cutscene plays during the mission, Megatron breaks the ice surrounding his left arm, and there's clearly none on his face.
**When gameplay resumes, there's ice on his face again.
**In the end of mission cutscene, he's suddenly defrosted right down to his hips.
**[[B.O.T. (episode)|Argh.]]
* Alongside that, developers obviously have no sense of anything within the Mission City battle.
** Regarding the Battle logistics for the Autobots...
*** Despite the fact that the Human military is allied with the autobots at this current moment in time, they'll still attack the autobots even though the decepticons are the ones causing all the damage to everything.
*** Despite the fact you can destroy the building Bumblebee is stuck in... he'll still be stuck in there somehow.
*** During the cutscene, Starscream uses his regular Jet-mode missiles, but in the actual game he uses some form of super-explosive missiles. Michael Bay must've had a say in that.
*** In that same mission, when Blackout joins in the cutscene, he fires his bot-mode missiles instead of the usual rapid fire missiles that he has in Helicopter mode.
***When the game cuts back to the action, Blackout is firing his Rapid Fire missiles.
**Regarding Time for the Autobots...
*** When Starscream starts desecrating buildings, the time is morning.
*** When Jazz confronts Starscream the sun is setting...
*** Midway through the fight, Starscream is "damaged" but it's now Noon.
*** At the end of the mission Brawl shows up and it's Sunset again.
*** When Ironhide confronts Brawl, it's sunset, but by the time Ironhide kills Brawl it's Noon again.
*** Bumblebee drives off to confront Barricade at Noon. He faces off against Barricade at Sunset.
***Midway through the fight, Bumblebee knocks Barricade into a bus, and it's noon again. It stays this way for a while (Thankfully.)
***Bumblebee defeats Barricade by Sunset. Than Megatron shows up, and Megatron and Optimus fight at Sunset. In the final mission, it's still noon.
***It goes back to sunset when Optimus defeats Megatron.
** Regarding the Decepticons...
*** Bonecrusher, Brawl, and Starscream are completely absent from the fight.
*** Jazz is seen transporting Sam and Mikaela, but Sam doesn't have the Allspark. Barricade must really hate fleshlings.
***When Barricade confronts Jazz it's Sunset.
*** When Barricade knocks down Jazz, it's Noon.
*** When Barricade kills Jazz... you should already know at this point.
***'''[[B.O.T. (episode)|Argh.]]'''
*The PS2 version sometimes features a bizarre error; in the opening cinematic to Barricade's first mission in Mission City, after Jazz's door slams there is no further post-recording sound work. This means Barricade's voice is completely unaltered. [http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=4526629173767058122 He sounds like Sideshow Bob]. The Wii, PS3, and Xbox360 versions have the effects added correctly.
*In the final Chapter of "A Gathering Force", it's just this side of entirely possible to be ''too good'' at it. If the final set of gun turrets facing Bonecrusher is destroyed too fast, he'll reach the last checkpoint before Brawl does and transform. Unfortunately, the turrets' ability to actually take damage is pretexted on ''Brawl'' transforming, so all you can do is stand around waiting for Bonecrusher to drop dead. Bonecrusher hates poor bug testing.
*The Dreadwing AI doesn't properly turn off when activating a Chapter during Mission 3, but thankfully the drone will despawn once you actually start the mission. <s>Doesn't stop them from being pesky and persistent motherfragging pains in the aft. </s>
**To make Dreadwings even more annoying, someone didn't do a proper bug test, so the Spawn variable for Dreadwings is active '''AT ALL TIMES''' during "A Gathering Force". This means that a Dreadwing is able to spawn ANYWHERE, during ANY CHAPTER if you even so much as decide to land and walk around in robot mode. Oh yeah, you heard us right. Dreadwings can spawn during the BRAWL AND BONECRUSHER ESCORT CHAPTERS. WHERE YOU ARE REQUIRED TO BE IN ROBOT MODE TO DESTROY THOSE ELECTRICITY TURRETS. '''''ARGH.'''''
*After the last mission of Chapter 3, a cutscene will trigger of Blackout and Starscream trashing Hoover Dam, Blackout tosses a gas tank at three defending Autobots who seem to be red Swindles... Which is the color of the Decepticon Swindle drones, not their Autobot variants.
*In Decepticon Chapter 4, mission 2's intro cinematic has Scorponok firing from a Gatling gun in his tail. This weapon doesn't exist (although he can use it for melee attacks).
*Barricade's shield attack's hitbox extends beyond his arm for some reason.
*Starscream was probably the most rushed character in this entire game. His normal fall animation doesn't occur in the game properly, which means if he falls after he jumps, he'll still be in his jump animation unlike everyone else in the game. The animation can only trigger when falling from a building. On top of that, he doesn't use his Playerland animation at all, meaning that if you get in a Dreadwing drone's landing radius and get knocked away fall, he won't roll back up like everyone else, and will just stand there waiting for him to get back up.
* In a rather '''frustrating''' case of poor bug testing for all of the main consoles, any drone encountered in Mission City will cause you ''HOURS'' upon '''HOURS''' of Frustration. There are many spots and even frame perfect PIXELS on buildings that do not have collision hitboxes, which means if a drone is in free-fall (you throwing them, or slapping them with a heavy enough object during which their Hitboxes move at a rate that can allow their hitbox to warp past those of other larger hitboxes simply because that's what they were programmed to do) they WILL get stuck in the buildings if their collison hitboxes end up stuck behind those of the collision hitboxes of buildings. Which means you have to memorize which buildings in Mission city don't have those missing collision hitboxes, because if you don't you'll end up having to reset the entire level, all because a single Payload or Longarm got stuck behind a building. This coincidentally includes a MAJORITY of the buildings during the Ironhide fight in Mission Park, and all of the buildings in the far corner map where Megatron has to fight Payloads and Longarms. <s> Many controllers have been lost. Let their noble cause be remembered. </s>
* As a rather weird side-effect of the game's Physics engine, nitro-boosting at a certain angle as Bumblebee or Jazz over the destructible bridge portions of the Mission City Train System, will cause the Vehicle Mode to get launched straight into the stratosphere.
*Because the end of mission "mission complete" screens follow straight on from the game play, some very strange things can happen in them. A good example is the above mission; if Scorponok ends the mission firing at the ground in front of the statue at one end of the park, the "mission complete" screen will show ''his own bullets hitting him''. (The same thing can happen anywhere in the game.)
*Before the final battle in the Autobot campaign, spark drones are ''just lying around on the street'' waiting to be brought to life by the All Spark.
*Other cars are like cardboard. Jazz can ram into a truck, and it will go ''flying in the air''. However, Bumblebee, who should be much heavier doesn't knock them over with such ease. The same can be said about drones and Bot alt-modes. Ironhide, Jazz, or any other character in game can ram into any alt-mode and send them flying. Although you yourself will fly too.
*Guns are absolutely useless in this game. Any drone beyond a Swindle drone will shield themselves from your gunfire, and anything that can be shot at can be destroyed five times faster if you punch it, throw something at it or whack it with a random piece of debris.
** This makes playing as Ironhide a little more difficult, as Ironhide has a 50% ''chance'' to replace the last melee hit with a cannon shot.
*** Doesn't make it better that when a projectile hits a barrier or shield, it will reflect and '''Can deal damage to you!''' ''Great.''
*Starscream sounds a lot like {{w|Grover}}.
*Scorponok is the only playable character that can't jump, climb or pick up debris. This means that there are several Decepticon insignias and glowing yellow cubes that are unattainable when playing as him.
*In the opening cinematic for Blackout, the entire army personnel fires at him, without any consequence whatsoever. However, when playing as any character in Tranquility or Mission City, police officers with standard pistols can damage you.
*In Chapter 2 for Autobots in mission 2 a cutscene has a Dropkick and Swindle drone tossing Jazz next to a house. As they are about to finish him off, Ironhide attacks the two drones by slamming into them in vehicle mode. When he transforms the drones just magically disappear.
*For Chapter 4 for Autobots, Chapter 2 has Jazz beat the hell out of two Dreadwings, Blackout, and Starscream. But in Chapter 2 mission 2, he has to ask Ironhide to assist him in defeating weak scrap drones.
*In the final chapter of City of the Machines right before reaching the tallest building in Mission City, Megatron speaks in Starscream's voice. Maybe they switched bodies.
*Since ''Generation 1'' Optimus Prime is a skin of Optimus Prime, many would think ''Generation 1'' Megatron would be a skin of Megatron. Instead, he has Optimus Prime's moves and guns and even features a blue Autobot shield instead of a red Decepticon one, making him more like Optimus Prime who can fly. Weird.
*There are many size errors revolving around Bonecrusher and Brawl. During ''Sinister Saviour'' and ''Warpath'', they are shown to be about the same height as Starscream (31 ft), while during the opening cutscene of ''Fireworks'', Bonecrusher is half his size and during ''For The Fallen'' Brawl is the same height as Ironhide (22 ft).
[[File:TFTG city tint on & off.jpg|thumb]]
*Optmus Prime has color issues between his truck and robot modes, such as the cab's roof: In robot mode it's red, while in vehicle mode it's blue with red flames. Robo-vision Optimus's truck mode's front half is red and back half is blue, but the back half (Sleeper and back fenders) forms his back and part of his arms, which are '''[[FIRRIB|red]]''', while the front fenders form his ankles, which are '''blue'''.
*During half the cutscenes, Ironhide looks like his highly realistic PS3/XboX360/PC counterpart, albeit in blue, oddly. During the other half, he looks like his low resolution Wii/PS2 counterpart.
*Speaking of cutscene oddities, Blackout is sand colored during the SOCCENT cutscenes, but during gameplay he is [[Grindor (ROTF)|light gray]].
*Even more so, in the initial cutscene of Plight of the Bumblebee, as Barricade scans the humans, Mikaela is misspelled as "Mikela".
*For unknown reasons, there is a green tint on all of the city levels. It's not noticeable on PS2 or Wii, but it's very noticeable on PS3 and 360, and requires modding to be disabled.
*For all chapters or levels that don't have music programmed to them, such as the Decepticon Cybertron level, the game defaults to playing the main menu music.
{{--}}

==Notes==
*The Autobots and Decepticons ''really'' like transforming into robots. Optimus likes it so much, he jumps thirty feet into the air every time he does it.
*It's assumed that both sides of the conflict are cannibals, seeing as how killing a Cybertronian opponent somehow replenishes your health.
*Rather than do the sane thing and pan away, we get to watch a robot-mode protoform Bumblebee and Barricade grow kibble after scanning their respective car modes. This looks roughly twice as ridiculous as what you're currently imagining.
*Punching your enemies in the face repeatedly is "heroic" when Autobots do it, but "evil" when Decepticons do it. Sounds like a double standard!
*Blackout is [[Show-accuracy|toy accurate]] in the game, in that his main rotor is his melee weapon, rather than his tail rotor as in the movie.
*Tranquility features a large number of Generation 1 references, with adverts for "[[Hound (G1)|Hound]]'s Hotdogs," "[[Seaspray (G1)|Seaspray]]'s Fish and Chips," a [[Tranquility Mall|local mall]] called "[[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]" and a fast food restaurant named "[[Chip Chase|Chip Chase's]]". As a more recent reference, there is also a building site belonging to "[[Bay Demolition]]". There is also a place called [[Frank Welker|Frank]] & [[Peter Cullen|Peter]]'s cafe.
*One Autobot isn't explicitly killed in the Decepticon campaign: Ratchet. Three Decepticons aren't killed in the Autobot campaign: Bonecrusher, Scorponok and Frenzy. The only character who dies in ''both'' campaigns is, unsurprisingly enough, Jazz. Even when every other bit of movie canon is thrown out the window, he ''still'' can't make it out alive.
*Bumblebee uses some kind of [[axe (weapon)|axe]] when he fights with a three-punch combo, probably referencing one of his earlier concept designs.
*Jazz's special attack is a sword, which just like Bumblebee, it could also have been in his earlier concept designs.
*Ratchet, Bonecrusher, Brawl, and Frenzy aren't playable. However, Ratchet has a model and lacking necessary animations to make him fully playable. It's possible that, had he made it into the final game, he would've been just a health dispenser.
*Throwing vehicles at buildings barely puts a dent in the structure. Instead of making a hole or even damaging it at all, cars and trucks thrown at buildings bounce off the building and often hit you instead.
*G1 Megatron flies rather than turning into a gun.
*Movie Megatron has the largest hitbox of any transformer in the game, which unfortunately makes it so that his hitbox extends outside his shield.
*If you stand in front of a building, you automatically start climbing it. If you idle while doing this as Blackout, they will scratch their butt. Optimus looks like he's doing the same, but he's just shaking his arm.
*In Mission City, there's a giant guitar on a building. If you grab it as Bumblebee or Barricade, it looks like they're playing it.
*The final cutscene of Level 4 of the Decepticon Campaign is identical to the final scene of the opening scene of the game. Just happening in daytime.
*Dreadwings are an absolute nightmare. Did we ever tell you how much we hate Dreadwings in this game?

==Differences between the Game and Movie==

[[File:VG-E3Allspark.jpg|thumb|The Quarterspark.]]
*Almost all plotlines relating to humans have been removed; the game has nothing involving [[William Lennox|soldiers]] (replaced by communication trucks, hellicopters and tanks), [[Seymour Simmons|agents]] (replaced by [[Landmine (Movie)|Buggies]] and [[Stockade (Movie)|SUVs]]), or [[Glen Whitmann|comic relief]] (replaced by the cutscenes). Even Sam himself has barely any role beyond "holder of the MacGuffins."
*Video game Bumblebee breaks free inside Hoover Dam and has to deactivate a silly laser grid to get to the AllSpark. Sam turns up at the end of the mission just in time to leave.
*The game's AllSpark is tiny, only four or five times taller than Bumblebee as opposed to the movie's city block-sized cube. It's housed in the same room as Megatron. Whoever wanted things to be this way could be asking for the end of the world!
*In the Autobot Campaign, Barricade is present at the Mission City battle. Same for Scorponok in the Decepticon Campaign.
*Autobot Campaign: Brawl is killed by Ironhide after the former killed Jazz. In the movie, he is killed by Bumblebee.
*Autobot Campaign: Brawl kills Jazz after the latter kills Blackout and Starscream. In the Decepticon campaign, its Barricade who kills him. Either way, Megatron doesn't.
*Autobot Campaign: Blackout is killed by Jazz. In the movie, he is killed by [[William Lennox|Lennox]].
*Autobot Campaign: Starscream and Barricade are killed. In the movie, they both survive.
*Frenzy has [[FIRRIB|red eyes]]!
*Autobot Campaign: Optimus, rather than Sam, kills Megatron with the AllSpark.
*Decepticon Campaign: Shoving the All Spark cube into his ''own'' chest does not kill Megatron, apparently.
*Decepticon Campaign: Evil wins!

:''Swindle is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: EarthSpark (franchise)|EarthSpark]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Tfearthspark Swindle robot.jpg|thumb|350px]]

The brains of the two-bot team he makes with his [[relatives|brother]] [[Hardtop (ES)|Hardtop]], you can't trust '''Swindle'''. Every interaction is a performance, be it a sob story to make you drop your guard, or roping someone into some mischief to make them think he's just a fun-loving bot who likes to break the rules. But don't be fooled, Swindle is a liar and a thief at his core. He may care for his brother, but everyone else is a means to an end. Once they question his suggestions or try to back out of whatever criminal enterprise he's tricked them into being a part of, the jig is up. Swindle's grin and happy-go-lucky front drops, and what's left is the cold, ruthless criminal he really is, ready to gun down the same people he called friends just a minute before.

Hell of a surfboarder though.

Swindle and Hardtop traveled to a trainyard in [[Witwicky (town)|Witwicky]] on a hot tip, eager to score some unguarded [[energon]]. However, the hot tip turned out to be a hot trap, set up by [[Elita-1 (ES)|Elita-1]], and the pair ended up facing both her and [[Optimus Prime (ES)|Optimus Prime]]. Elita alone proved to be more than a match for both Decepticons, boxing them both into an arena of fallen train cars, a perfect setup for Optimus to hurl a boxcar at them. Swindle was pushed out of the way by his brother who took the brunt, and a sudden attack by [[Arachnamech]]s gave the con-man an opening to escape.{{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}}

Swindle continued to look for his brother, attacking [[G.H.O.S.T.]] trucks and installations to steal gear and info in the hopes of locating Hardtop. Spotting easy suckers in [[Thrash (ES)|Thrash]] and [[Mo Malto]], he was able to quickly convince them he was really a good guy just out looking for his missing brother... and while the latter half of that was true, the first part definitely wasn't. He used them to try and steal equipment from a G.H.O.S.T. truck, with Mo able to get through the Transformer-proof energon force field, though he had to drop the ruse and threaten their lives to get her to do so. The timely arrival of [[Dot Malto|Dot]] and [[Bumblebee (ES)|Bumblebee]] foiled his plans, and Swindle had to run off empty-handed. {{storylink|House Rules}}

Starscream (G1)/merchandise

2022-12-16T19:33:03Z

Victinoko: /* XM Studios */

{{suite}}

'''Starscream''' has a copious quantity of merchandise.

==HG Toys==
[[File:Hgtoys starscream products.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]

Licensor [[HG Toys]] released quite a few pieces of ''Transformers'' merchandise in 1984, including several sculpted in Starscream's likeness. All of these items shared the same basic sculpt, modified to fit the piece of merchandise in question.

*'''Stamp Bot''' (1984)

:A small, non-poseable figurine of Starscream with a rubber stamp on the base. An alternate version of Starscream was also available with fewer paint applications and ''Autobot'' symbols on its wings!

*'''Zipper Clip''' (1984)

:A smaller version of the Starscream sculpt, designed to be attached to a coat zipper.

*'''Clip On''' (1984)

:A pocket clip depicting Starscream.
{{--}}

==3-D Jigsaw Stand Up Puzzle==

[[File:Standup starscream puzzle.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]

*'''Starscream''' (1984)

:This piece of Starscream merchandise was a jigsaw puzzle in disguise! The puzzle was of a battle scene of the Seekers battling Optimus Prime, [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], but once broken down, the puzzle pieces could be assembled into a three-dimensional model of Starscream in either robot or jet mode—a progenitor of the [[3D Battle-Card Game]] in many respects!
{{--}}

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Milk caramel starscream.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Starscream''' (1985)
:One of [[Kabaya]]'s first Transformers [[candy toy]] lines, the ''Transformers Milk Caramel'' series featured small rubber figures, similar to the later-released [[Decoy]]s, but smaller, flatter and based more on the toys, rather than their animation models. Starscream was available in numerous different colors.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Kabaya gashapon starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|No, no, no, I said green ''screen!'']]
*'''Starscream''' (1985)

:One of the first of many snap-together candy toy model kits released by Kabaya during the Generation 1 era, this small version of Starscream was available as in various solid colors as part of the ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' range, coming packaged with small "Chocolate Dots". Owing to its diminutive size, it could only transform between robot and jet modes by being disassembled and put back together in different configurations. The figure was apparently also available through capsule machines.
{{-}}
==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Kabaya gum starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Starscream''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Left and right fists, 2 missile launchers, landing gear

:Starscream was also available as part of the larger ''Transformers Gum'' range of figures. Released in the first wave of the series and standing at about four inches tall, he was moulded from red, black, and grey plastic and featured stickers for detail. Unlike his smaller ''Choco'' counterpart, as was standard for the ''Gum'' figures, he is fully transformable, essentially being a scaled down version of the actual Starscream toy.

:This Starscream figure was later re-released in 1997 by a Korean company named [[Toon Town]], in a two-pack with the "Transformers Gum" version of [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Sideswipe]].
{{-}}

[[File:Kabaya-Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Starscream''' (2011)
:Released in the third wave of the revived ''Transformers Gum'' series in 2010, this transforming model kit of Starscream is made from red, blue, and silver plastic, with stickers for detail. He's based on the ''Henkei'' Starscream release.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy starscream.jpg|thumb|Not a mis-colored Skywarp]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1985)
: This small purple rubber figurine of Starscream was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Starscream's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for. A peach-colored version of the figure could be found packed in various other multi-packs the following year.

*'''Starscream''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''35'''

: The Starscream figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (35, in Starscream's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

==Parody Deformed==
[[File:Pd starscream.jpg|thumb|"Don't push me, Megatron, my desire for cuteness is as great as yours!"]]
*'''Starscream''' (1990)

:A small red and white, non-transforming [[super deformed]] model kit of Starscream was available as part of [[Kabaya]]'s "[[Parody Deformed]]" line of [[candy toy]]s. The tenth figure in the series, he came with a "[[PDTF Comic]]" comic about himself, "Good Luck! Starscream!!", and something that could charitably be described as "chocolate".

==Super Collection Figure==

*'''Starscream''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Starscream was available as part of the first "Act" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

:This figure was [[redeco]]ed into ''Super Collection Figure'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Skywarp]] (maybe), ''Heroes of Cybertron'' [[Sunstorm (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Sunstorm]] and [[Air Warrior#Heroes of Cybertron|Air Warrior]], and [[retool]]ed to become [[Thrust (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Thrust]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Ramjet]] and [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Dirge]].

{{-}}{{anchor|GhostSCF}}
[[File:SCF ghost starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1]]
*'''Ghost Starscream'''{{fact}} (2001)
**''Act'': '''5'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: Starscream's figurine was recast in translucent plastic and painted in clear-paints to represent his ghostly form from the third season of the Generation 1 cartoon. It was released as a rare "[[chase figure|Secret Figure]]" in the fifth, ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Masterforce]]''-themed wave of the ''Super Collection Figure'' series, packed at a ratio of one in every ten cases (which figure -if any in specific- it replaced in the lucky case is currently unknown).

{{-}}{{anchor|CoronationSCF}}

*'''Coronation Starscream'''{{fact}} (2002)
**''Act'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Starscream was [[retool]]ed for a third and final release in the eighth Act of the ''Super Collection Figure'' line (the last of the "Generation 1" themed Acts). Like the ghost figure, he was only available as a rare "Secret Figure", ''presumably'' released in the same 1-per-every-10-cases ratio as other Secret Figures. This version features a new head and arms with the crown, shoulderpads and cape from his coronation scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. He's also rendered in a medium gray plastic rather than the original's bright white.

:Luckily for fans, this version of Starscream saw normal release in Hasbro's ''Heroes of Cybertron'' (see below), a much easier-to-obtain and cheaper option.

{{--}}

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Starscream''' (2002)

:When the ''Super Collection Figure'' series was imported to become Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line, the figures were all cast entirely in translucent colored plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of their heads, giving them all a [[light-piping]] gimmick. Unlike the Japanese figures, they were sold in individual blister packaging, with character profile cards.

: Released in the first wave of ''Heroes of Cybertron'', Starscream has a number of small but significant color differences from his initial ''Super Collection Figure'' release (see above). The white has been replaced with a light gray, his face is now medium-gray, his "pec vents" are the same dark gray as his other detailing rather than black, a white stripe has been added to his wing deco (as opposed to unpainted white plastic), the Decepticon symbols are purple rather than the odd blue of the SCF, and the connector points for the wings are light gray rather than torso-matching red. The end result is a figurine that is ''significantly'' more [[show-accuracy|accurate to the original animation model]] than the ''SCF'' version.

{{-}}{{anchor|HOCcrown}}
[[File:HOC Starscream Crown.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Starscream with Crown''' (2002)

:This ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release, in the fifth and final wave of the original line, saw the ''SCF'' chase figure of Starscream in his coronation gear reach a much wider audience. Deco-wise, he is nigh-identical to the ''SCF'' version... well, aside from the obvious "clear plastic painted over" angle, which leaves him in a ''slightly''-brighter medium gray (though still darker than the normal ''Heroes'' release). Much more obvious is that the Decepticon symbols on his wings are now "right-side up," the only version of ''SCF/Heroes'' Starscream to have his symbols this way.

: He also came packaged with the left leg of the fifth wave's [[Metroplex (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure".

{{-}}{{anchor|AirWarriors}}
[[File:HoC 3H Seeker Set.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Leader of the pack.]]
*'''Decepticon Air Cavalry Troop Builder Set''' (OTFCC exclusive, 2003)

: The original Starscream figurine was re-released again in this six-pack of figures available exclusively at [[OTFCC 2003]]. He came packaged with ''Heroes of Cybertron'' versions of [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Skywarp]], and three [[Air Warrior#Heroes of Cybertron|Air Warriors]].

: While the three named Seekers in the set were originally intended to have a sparkly paint job to differentiate them from the normal retail versions, that ended up not happening and they ended up basically the same.

The small figure was randomly included with single cans of the company's "Rainbow Mountain Blend" coffee, contained in a plastic capsule affixed to the top of can which then became a display base for the figurine once removed. Starscream features articulation at the shoulders and waist, and came with a small catalog leaflet that could be folded up and attached to the lid/base to form a diorama background for added display value.

:Released in the third wave of the ''[[Transformers R.E.D.]]'' line, Coronation Starscream is a non-transforming, 6-inch action figure akin to the ones from the ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Legends'' and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] The Black Series'' lines. He features over 25 points of articulation and extensive paint operations in an attempt at [[show-accuracy]]... or perhaps that should be ''movie''-accuracy, as Starscream is the first ''R.E.D.'' figure to be based on ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Starscream includes two pairs of hands: two closed fists, and two open, grandly gesturing hands. As is the norm, he also features two removeable null ray weapons that mount on his biceps, along with two pinkish-purple [[Fire Blast effect|blast effects]] to simulate them firing. And of course, Coronation Starscream would be incomplete without his removeable crown, shoulder pads, and fabric cape accessories to re-enact his signature scene in the movie.

:As with all ''R.E.D.'' toys, Starscream was a Walmart exclusive in Canada and the United States, and was later made available on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in limited quantities.

:This mold, minus the coronation accessories, was used to make ''R.E.D.'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#R.E.D._.5BRobot_Enhanced_Design.5D|Thundercracker]].

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Ghost of Starscream is a 7-inch-tall action figure based on Starscream's cartoon model, cast in translucent plastic with glitter mixed into it. He features multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands in different poses. He comes with 3 different head sculpts: painted normal face, painted smirking face, and a clear plastic head based on the G1 Starscream toy.

: Preorders opened on [[January 29]] 2021, and closed on [[February 28]], with the toys purportedly shipping in winter of that year but actually arriving in May 2022.

* '''Megatron''' (Nasta, 1984)
:One of the earliest pieces of Megatron merchandise is also one of the strangest. Taking the form of Megatron's Walther P-38 gun mode — itself quite controversial and anachronistic due to [[For safety reasons|recent safety regulations]] — the microphone allows children to broadcast their voices to a nearby AM radio by pointing the gun at their mouth (at the rear sight, not the ''barrel muzzle'' at least) and speaking into it.

The costume consists of a thin plastic facemask based directly on the original Megatron toy's head, and in time-worn, super-crappy tradition, a red and white plastic smock decorated not with the details of Megatron's body, but with his package art and the Transformers logo.

==Decoy==
*'''Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)[[File:Decoy megatron.jpg|thumb]]

:Megatron was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Megatron was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. As the figure is a Japanese creation, it's particularly notable for the fact that it lacks Megatron's signature fusion cannon, just as his original Japanese toy release did, instead sculpting him with his hand-held laser cannon and Japanese-exclusive sword.

:Megatron was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, as well as being included as one of several possible random Decepticon figures included as playing tokens with the "Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game", and in a variety of different colours via "gachapon" capsule machines. Later, [[Seven]] made him available in a peach coloration, randomly included in a variety of multi-packs.

*'''Megatron''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''32'''

: The figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (32, in Megatron's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

It was presumably packed at a ratio of one per ten cases.

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Megatron's left arm was changed to feature [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] perching on it. His feet have also been painted bright white rather than the body-matching light gray of the original. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Megatron was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

:The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue. This holds true for pretty much every pewter figure in the entire line.

:In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Megatron came packaged with the right arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure.

Unlike the chase one, Prime also came with an interchangeable empty fist, so he doesn't ''have'' to wield Megatron. His right arm has also been tooled to be straight-elbowed, and his left hand is now clenched. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in a 1:1 ratio per case.

==Heroes of Cybertron==
[[File:HOC Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Megatron''' (2002)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'', this figure is functionally the same as the first ''Super Collection Figure'' Megatron. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. However, there are a few other tiny deco differences, most importantly (and noticeable) being the addition of a black circle on the muzzle of his back-mounted gun barrel, and the back of his midsection is painted light gray rather than red like the ''SCF''. He's also a cooler super-light-gray than the ''SCF'' figure.

: There is a [[variant|running change variant]] of this figure, which adds a bit of red paint to the raised bit on the back of Megatron's fusion cannon, a detail from the animation model missing from the ''SCF'' Megatrons.

: Megatron was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. This version was cast in opaque off-white plastic and is virtually identical to the original ''SCF'' Megatron, with the unpainted back-barrel and red-painted mid-back. At best, in certain lights the 2006 ''Heroes'' version is an ever so slightly warmer light gray plastic than the ''SCF''.

* '''Megatron''' (2002)

: Released in the second wave, this version of Megatron is a mass-release variation of the chase figure from the first ''SCF'' Act, replacing his right hand with a clear-plastic energy flail. His left hand is the clenched fist of the later "Laserbeak" version of Megatron, instead of the open-hand the chase figure had. This version also keeps the paint additions from the previous version of the figure, always having the red-dotted cannon.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Megatron. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Optimus Prime]].)

* '''Megatron with Laserbeak''' (2003)

: The fifth-wave Megatron figure is a release of the Megatron/[[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron)|Laserbeak]] figure from the fourth ''SCF'' Act. He keeps the paint alterations of the energy-mace Megatron, though his black paint is much glossier this time around. Laserbeak's grays are also much lighter than on the SCF, matching Megatron's main body coloring.

: The collector card does not list Laserbeak on the front, but does mention him at the end of a severely truncated version of the first card's [[bio]].

: This release came with the right arm for the wave's collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Metroplex]] build-a-figure.

{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor), [[Leandro Sivori]] (painter)}}

:The first entry in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this 13-inch tall diorama depicts Optimus Prime slugging it out with Megatron. Megatron comes with a "REP" (Replaceable Exterior Part) of a battle damaged version of his head, which features a detachable "helmet" to show off his exposed robo-brain. Optimus is posed as though doing a shoulder shove while holding his ion blaster, but a provided REP hand allows buyers to instead recontexualise the pose as a spinning backhand slap.

:The model was limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, and came with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which allowed buyers to reserve the same number on their next purchase in the series. It also came with an A4 mini-poster depicting the same fight between Optimus and Megatron by artist [[Little IroN]], which was also sold separately as a limited edition A2 poster.

:As a ''Transformers Battlefield'' release, this model featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output put the kibosh on any further ''Battlefield'' models.

:Megatron has an incredibly powerful translucent missile (don't fire it at children or small dogs if you value their lives) and a ''Recover'' special power that allows the figure to stand back up if there's another Decepticon in play. Two Megatrons are a dangerous combination, feeding each other's recover powers and making them very hard to kill off. Plus you can pretend one of them is [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]].

[[File:Marissafaireborne.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|DON'T [[Transformer romance|DATE ROBOTS]]. Brought to you by the Space Pope.]]
'''Marissa Faireborn''' (sometimes '''Marissa Bishop''') is an officer in the [[Earth Defense Command]]. Hailing from a family with a history [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|in]] [[Lady Jaye|the]] [[Nathaniel Faireborn|military]], Marissa is tough, headstrong and independent. She's a take-charge woman who's always calm in a crisis and performs her duties with strict professionalism. She may be small and squishy, but her boldness, strength of heart and skill with many weapons from blaster to knife mean she is respected by both Autobots and Decepticons alike. When a Decepticon looks upon Marissa Faireborn, they see a genuine adversary, while the Autobots know her as a trusted ally and friend... and in [[Optimus Prime (G1)|some]] [[Jazz (G1)|cases]], even an unlikely romantic partner!

Also, she's great at surfboarding.

[[File:FFOD3 marissa woman of action.jpg|left|thumb|225px|Barbarella, eat your heart out.]]
In the year 2005, Captain Marissa Faireborn was stationed at the EDC's base on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] when a call for aid came through from [[Autobot]] communications officer [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]]. Marissa had been tracking an Autobot shuttle which had come under attack by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s in the vicinity of [[Jupiter]], and Blaster requested that she provide back up to the stricken craft. Marissa deployed immediately, but before she could make it onto the scene, the shuttle was destroyed by a cosmic storm, and its occupants—[[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and the new [[transformation cog|transforming cog]] for [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] that they were couriering to [[Earth]]—were blasted to the planet's moon [[Io]]. Tracking their trajectories, Marissa set course for the moon, {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} and arrived to witness the two Autobots being terrorized by a swarm of the moon's native [[lightpole]]s. Blurr was able to clear the swarm with cog in hand, and the militaristic Marissa set her ship down and instructed him to come aboard. Unwilling to leave Wheelie behind, the speedy Autobot raced back into the heart of the swarm in order to save his friend, an action that Marissa seemed unable to comprehend, deeming her digital wristwatch capable of better decisions. Nonetheless, she disembarked her ship and entered the fray herself with a [[jet pack]], firing at the lightpoles with a [[null-ray]] blaster. Marissa was able to thin the swarm out enough for Blurr and Wheelie to get clear, but before they could get aboard her ship, several of the lightpoles transformed into their missile forms and fell upon the craft, blowing it up.

[[File:FFOD5 marissa leaps.jpg|thumb]]

Marissa quickly took stock of the situation and stopped Blurr from panicking so they could examine the wreckage and see if the ship's radio was still working. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} The radio was, indeed, still functional, and Marissa used it to contact Blaster on Earth as the trio were again set upon by the lightpoles. Blaster tried to assuage her fears by assuring her that [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] was on his way, but Marissa didn't even know who or what that was, so it didn't raise her spirits much. Soon after, the powerful Sky Lynx arrived on Io and blasted the lightpoles to bits, but before Marissa, Wheelie and Blurr could board his cargo pod, they were set upon by the newest Decepticon warriors, the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. Marissa could do little in the battle that ensued, but was at least able to escape injury, nimbly vaulting over [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] as he charged at her. After Sky Lynx had successfully dispatched the Predacons, the team headed for Earth at top speed, and successfully delivered the transforming cog in time for Metroplex to transform and fend off an attack by [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Soon after, Marissa stood beside her allies and watched as [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] addressed the Autobot forces on their concurrent victory over the [[Quintesson]]s. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

[[File:Killingjar marissa and monster.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

As 2006 settled in, Marissa was aboard the EDC's space station in orbit above Earth when an unexpected EDC shuttle started an approach. Marissa demanded an identification from the shuttle's pilot, and was overjoyed to discover that was it was actually her [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|father]], come to visit. As the shuttle touched down in the landing bay, Marissa boarded quickly and embraced her father, but before she could lead him off the ship, its doors shut behind her and it quickly took off again. The shuttle was, in actuality, a disguised Quintesson vessel, and her "father" was nothing more than a solid hologram which abruptly transformed into a monstrous shape and attacked her. With a few quick martial arts kicks and chops, Marissa had downed the simulation, and then discovered she was not the Quintesson scientist's only captive: [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] had also been abducted to participate in the Quintesson's experiments. Knocked out by a [[submission field]], Marissa was to be the Quintesson's first examination subject, but Wreck-Gar was able to deactivate the submission device, allowing her to overpower the feeble Quintesson scientist.

[[File:Killingjar negative wreckgar marissa quint.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Chaos ensued when the ship passed through an [[electron storm]], and Marissa used the fighting as a cover to reach the ship's controls, intending to plot a course back to Earth. Unfortunately, the ship was now caught in the gravity of a [[black hole]], and Marissa had to stop everyone from fighting so they could work together to assess the situation. The Quintesson scientist attempted to flee aboard the ship's lone working escape pod, but Ultra Magnus hauled him from the pod and attempted to send Marissa to safety in his place. Unfortunately, interference from the Quintesson's [[Allicon|guard]] delayed Marissa from boarding, and the whole ship was sucked through the black hole, into a [[negative universe]]. Only through finally putting aside their differences and working together, were Marissa, the Transformers and the Quintessons able to repair the ship and return to their universe of origin, where Sky Lynx soon arrived to take Marissa, Wreck-Gar and Ultra Magnus home. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (episode)|The Killing Jar}}

[[File:Marissababy.jpg|left|thumb|The inspiration for ''Kiss Players''.]]

Marissa was engaging in a bout of regular target practise at an EDC gun range on Earth, trying out "level 3" in her pursuit of a challenge. After blasting a target of Cyclonus, she was suddenly struck by a wave of chronal energy released into the universe by a malfunctioning Quintesson [[Time Window]]. The energy caused Marissa to regress into a crying infant, much to the shock of the EDC trooper on watch at the time. Luckily, the Autobots, working with the Quintessons, were able to shut down and destroy the time window, undoing the effects of the chronal energy. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

[[File:MoneyIsEverything Marissa and Dirk have dinner.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"You like me because I'm a scoundrel."]]

Teamed with the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] as part of a science unit, Marissa and her Autobot allies were called into action to rescue <s>smuggler</s> "free trader" [[Dirk Manus]] when his ship, the ''[[Lazy Sue]]'' was attacked by the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]]. A mutual attraction between Marissa and Manus sprang up immediately, but Marissa did not trust the trader entirely when he claimed that he had found a Quintesson base on the moon of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. As [[Computron (G1)|Computron]], the Technobots supported investigation of his claims, but until the ''Lazy Sue'' could be repaired, Marissa resolved not to let Manus out of her sight, leading to a romantic evening of dinner and dancing. This did not win Marissa over entirely, however, and she soon confirmed her suspicions when she tracked Manus back out into the desert where he had crashed, and discovered that he was actually attempting to transport a highly-experimental [[Recreator|molecular recreator]] to the Quintessons. Marissa attempted to arrest Manus, but he pulled a concealed weapon on her and shot the blaster from her hand before overpowering her in a struggle, knocking her out and tying her up. She was not found until the next morning, by [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]] and [[Nosecone (G1)|Nosecone]]—the rest of the Technobots had already departed for Titan with Manus.

[[File:Moneyiseverything marissa dress uniform.jpg|left|thumb]]

Marissa, Afterburner and Nosecone quickly made their way to Titan, and discovered that Manus had been double-crossed by the Quintessons, and a team of [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] were now on his and the other Technobots' tails. Marissa and her companions disposed of the Quintessons, but purely to rescue the other Technobots: Marissa slugged Manus in the jaw and was prepared to leave him to rot. Manus spun the situation around, informing Marissa of the molecular recreator and promising to disable it, forcing her to keep him around. As they trekked back to the Quintesson base, Marissa and Manus confessed their attraction to each other, but both also admitted that their jobs came first... not that that stopped them from getting rather hot and heavy in the middle of the jungle floor when Manus helped save Marissa from some living vines. But even that was a ruse: Manus used their closeness to grab Marissa's blaster, and walked her and the Technobots into the Quintessons' base as his prisoners. Marissa was horrified when Manus used the recreator to molecularly disassemble the Technobots, and when she attempted to rush the smuggler, she was downed by the Terrorcons. Yet again, however, Manus's actions had a hidden purpose: while the Quintessons were distracted by Marissa's outburst, he reassembled the Technobots, having always intended to double-cross the Quintessons himself in just this manner. With their injuries healed by the process, the Technobots formed Computron and battled the Terrorcons while Marissa argued with Manus that he could have trusted her with his plans. With the villains dispatched, Marissa took possession of the recreator, and everyone returned to Earth. Marissa regretted that she could not give Manus the credits the Quintessons had duped him out of... until [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)|Lightspeed]] came racing up to inform her that the credits had disappeared from the EDC coffers. Marissa turned to Dirk, and before she could even finish accusing him, he kissed her, threw her to the ground, and escaped aboard the ''Lazy Sue''. Out in space, however, Manus discovered that Marissa had replaced the credits with [[mimic dust]], and he could only laugh at the prim and proper EDC captain having pulled a con of her own. {{storylink|Money Is Everything (episode)|Money Is Everything}}

[[File:Burdenhardest marissa finds rodimus.jpg|thumb|"Marrisa, I took some [[Hate Plague|bad dope]], can you help me to my bed?"]]

Marissa accompanied the Autobots to [[Japan]] during a series of Decepticon attacks upon the country. Rodimus Prime was feeling the burden of leadership particularly heavily at the time, and Marissa's request for yet more help after the latest Decepticon assault had been squashed proved to be the last straw for the troubled Autobot. Telling Marissa to leave him alone, Rodimus departed to blow off some steam. Understanding what he was feeling, Marissa followed in order to offer Rodimus someone to talk to, but Rodimus told her he would rather race, and Marissa decided to play along. As the pair raced, however, they were attacked by [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] and [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] and run off the road. By the time Marissa had got her car back on the road, the two [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] had plucked the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] from Rodimus's body, reverting him to Hot Rod. Marissa called in the other Autobots, who were shocked to discover what had happened, but Hot Rod himself cared little, happy to be young and carefree again. The Matrix, meanwhile, wound up in the hands of [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], who led a Decepticon attack on Japan; Marissa alerted the Autobots to the appearance of the Decepticons through an EDC [[warp gate|Warp Gate]], and Hot Rod was able to defeat Scourge, reclaim the Matrix, and accept his burden. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
{{note|The events of the Generation 1 cartoon occur in Japanese continuity as detailed above, except that the events of the third season, in which Marissa appears, occur in 2010, rather than over 2005/2006. Japanese continuity inserts several new stories in the resultant gap in the timeline; notably in Marissa's case, she features prominently in the storyline of ''Kiss Players'', which takes place before her appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon, but which simply cannot occur in American cartoon continuity, as the time-gap during which it takes place does not exist there.}}

[[File:KP marissa in commando gear.jpg|thumb|Not another Marissa's Knife episode.]]

As a child in the 1990s, Marissa lived in [[New York City|New York]], where she met and became friends with [[Shaoshao Li]], who developed an extremely strong attachment to her. The young Marissa resented her [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|military father]], so when one of his missions went awry and she and her father had to be rescued by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], she quickly came to view the Autobot leader as a surrogate father figure... and perhaps a little bit more. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 34|Kiss Players #34}} Shaoshao didn't take Marissa's friendship with Prime very well, resenting the Autobot for, in her eyes, stealing Marissa away from her, and Shaoshao was forced to move back to [[Japan]] with her family before reaching an understanding with her friend. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 23|Kiss Players #23}}

Shortly after [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|Optimus Prime's death]] in 2005, the body of the new [[Decepticon]] leader [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] crash-landed on [[Earth]], decimating [[Tokyo]] and utterly shattering [[Transformer]]-[[Human]] relations. A governmental organization known as the Earth Defense Command, headed up by the rabid anti-Transformer fanatic [[Hitoshizuku Amaō]], was quickly established to force the Transformers off Earth, but support for the movement was not universal, and Marissa was amongst its opponents. Alas, these voices went unheard, and by 2006, Earth was Transformer-free, and the embittered Marissa decided that rather than try to fight the EDC with peaceful protests, she'd have a go at fighting them with big, pointy knives, as part of a female commando resistance group.

When Earth Defense Command brought Optimus Prime's corpse to Japan, Marissa secretly observed the arrival of the cargo plane carrying the Autobot leader's body. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 1|Kiss Players #1}} She and her commando unit were quick to attack the convoy transporting the body, only to discover that the cadaver was a decoy concealing an EDC [[Autorooper]] that slaughtered them all, save for Marissa herself. Recognizing an unassuming trailer amongst the other vehicles in the convoy, Marissa sliced it open with her knife, revealing that it contained the remains of the real Optimus Prime. The exposure of Prime's body, however, had a bizarre effect on the Autorooper, which ejected [[Kayu Michikusa|its Kiss Player partner]] and begin to fuse with the Autobot's corpse. As if to bid farewell to her friend, Marissa kissed Prime, but with this action, she discovered that she was a "[[Kiss Player]]"—a human being who had been infused with the scattered cells of Galvatron, giving them the ability to fuse with other beings. Her Kiss Player powers unleashed, Marissa fused with Prime, triggering a transformation that restored him to life and converted his body into a new Dodge SRT-10 form. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 2|Kiss Players #2}}

Marissa and Prime promptly made themselves scarce, and began travelling together, battling the monstrous creatures known as [[Legion]] that Galvatron's dispersed cells had also produced, while also eluding the EDC. Marissa thought of Prime as [[Transformer romance|her boyfriend]], {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 1|Kiss Players #1}} and Prime himself certainly cared for the girl, unwilling as he was to put her in harm's way, despite the prodigious knife-wielding skills that she could share with him via their kiss-fusion. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 4|Kiss Players #4}}

[[File:Marissafairebornekissplay.jpg|left|thumb||upright=1.2|Marissa buys [[Mint in sealed box|MISB]] because she wants a GERM FREE toy.]]

Knife skills were not Marissa's only attribute, however: she was also a talented surfer, and wondered if she could share ''that'' ability with Prime via their fusion. As it turned out, Prime was actually [[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3|already quite skilled in that area]]. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 7|Kiss Players #7}} Prime soon found a better use for Marissa's surfboard when he used his new powers to transform it into a knife so he could make use of the skills Marissa's fusion gave with him. Marissa was not very happy, {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 10|Kiss Players #10}} but took it in stride, and dubbed the new weapon the "[[Surfblade]]". In response, Prime named her shirt "The Three Skull Brothers", after the image on it. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 16|Kiss Players #16}}

[[File:Kissplayers2 prime marissa.jpg|225px|thumb|If Hi-Q made you that little bit awkward... cover your eyes now.]]

Prime and Marissa had a close relationship, as the girl washed Prime in "intimate" spots like his gas tank, {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 19|Kiss Players #19}} and they would go on "dates" together, at one point visiting the seaside, only to wind up in battle with a Legion created from the fusion of an octopus and a shipwreck. Prime regretted that these activities had to be carried out under the cover of night, and vowed that he and Marissa would visit the beach under the light of the sun. {{storylink|Someday, Beneath the Sun}}

Marissa later crossed paths with a girl named [[Atari Hitotonari]], and quickly became friends with her. Sadly, Marissa soon discovered that Atari was actually a member of the EDC, and realized regretfully that this would likely mean they would have to fight. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 13|Kiss Players #13}} Nevertheless, when Atari found herself in danger, Marissa and Prime rescued her on several occasions. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 9|Kiss Players #9}}

Soon, Optimus Prime found himself suffering from a recurring nightmare filled with visions of his old enemy, [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. In the grip of one of these hallucinations, Prime lost control of himself and almost crushed Marissa in his fist, but was thankfully able to regain his senses before he hurt her. Marissa and Prime subsequently fused, and were able to corral a legion of Legion for an attack upon the EDC headquarters. They found their way barred by a pair of most unexpected opponents: [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] had returned to Earth and become Kiss Player partners with Marissa's old friend, Shaoshao. Hot Rod believed Prime to be an impostor, and Shaoshao wished to see him dead so that she might "reclaim" Marissa as her friend, and so Prime and Hot Rod began battling. The tide shifted when Atari entered the battle, the attack was broken off, and Prime and Marissa now found they had to elude Hot Rod and Shaoshao as well as the EDC's force. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 3|Kiss Players #3}} Marissa could likely never have predicted that Hot Rod would steal her underwear for Shaoshao, though. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 28|Kiss Players #28}} {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 29|Kiss Players 29}}

Marissa spent a lot of time reflecting on things after that, thinking back on the summer she had spent with Prime, {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 22|Kiss Players #22}} on Prime's own past, {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 25|Kiss Players #25}} and his current nightmares. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 31|Kiss Players #31}} After viewing a seaside fireworks display for their "last date", {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 34|Kiss Players #34}} Marissa and Prime again launched a Legion-backed attack upon the EDC. This time, however, Marissa, Shaoshao, Atari, Prime and Hot Rod all decided to set their differences aside in order to discover the true, dark secret lurking within the EDC. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 37|Kiss Players #37}} Venturing into the mysterious [[Genital System]] facility hidden beneath the EDC headquarters, the team discovered a mad plot by EDC Commander [[Hitoshizuku Amaō]] to resurrect her daughter, who had died in Galvatron's impact. Thanks to the efforts of Marissa and her friends, the plan was foiled, the [[anti-electron]] field keeping Transformers off Earth was deactivated, and Galvatron's cells were extracted from the Legions and Kiss Players and reconstituted within his body, which was launched off into space. As a result, Marissa lost her Kiss Player powers, and Prime slipped back into death once more. {{storylink|I, You, and the Spinning Earth}}

[[File:15gogo sparkbots appear.jpg|215px|thumb|The ghost of the giant [[Kremzeek]] comes to haunt the Kiss Players.]]
Following the deactivation of the anti-electron field, the Autobots returned to Earth in early 2007, but Transformer-human relations were still in tatters. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] came up with the idea of a Transformer-human singing group to try and repair relations and spread goodwill between the two races, and to that end, Marissa joined with Shaoshao, Atari, and [[Mini-Cassette|cassette Transformers]] [[Glit (KP)|Glit]], [[Sundor]] and [[Rosanna (KP)|Rosanna]] to form this group, the "[[Kiss Players (singing group)|Kiss Players]]".

While on their world goodwill tour, the Kiss Players arrived in North America to perform at [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Brave Maximus]] but just before the concert began, three mysterious glowing orbs appeared before the Kiss Players, and telepathically spoke to them. Introducing themselves as the [[Sparkbot]]s, [[Star Dust]], [[Angela]] and [[Zangetsu]], they instructed the three girls to kiss them. When they did so, the girls and Brave Maximus were suddenly whisked off through time, rematerializing at [[Sherman Dam]] in the year 1985, where they witnessed Optimus Prime's historic battle with [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] atop the structure. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 39|Kiss Players #39}}

At Angela's behest, Marissa kissed the Sparkbot to transform her and rode the flying lion to Prime's side, where, unseen by the combatants, she was instructed to kiss the Autobot leader. Marissa complied, and a fragment of what the Sparkbots called the "[[AllSpark]]" emerged from his chest. This, the Sparkbots explained, was the Kiss Players' mission—to recover all the fragments of the Allspark, scattered throughout space and time. Marissa regretted that she could not stay and try to avert Prime's deadly fate-to-come, but continued voyaging through the timestream with the rest of her friends to accomplish this task. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 40|Kiss Players #40}} {{storylink|Sparkbots Volume 1}}

The Kiss Players traveled from past to future, collecting AllSpark fragments along the way. Their adventures soon led them to the year 2011, where they fell into the clutches of the [[Quintesson]]s. Even the power of {{w|Moe (slang)|moe}}, despite transforming Marissa into a sailor-suited bunny girl, was not enough to spare them from the Quintesson judge's verdict of "not guilty". Fortunately, Optimus Prime and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Goldbug]] came to their accidental rescue, and the Kiss Players' voyage continued. {{storylink|Kiss Players Picture Story Show}}

On her next mission, Marissa witnessed a robot she believed to be Optimus Prime being brutally beaten in combat in a desert by the Decepticon warrior [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]]. Marissa hastily kissed what she thought was her longtime robotic beau, but as the Allspark fragment emerged, Angela explained that this was not Prime, but [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], a human man who had bonded with a [[Transtector]] intended for Prime's use. Marissa was horrified that she had kissed someone other than Prime, and made Angela promise not to tell anyone. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 43|Kiss Players #43}}

[[File:Kissplayers adventures end.jpg|left|thumb|225px]]

Things were proceeding smoothly until the Kiss Players began obtaining Allspark fragments from Transformers participating in the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]. At the point of the Allspark fragments' emergence, an enigmatic, invisible force began appearing to steal the fragments away, starting with the fragment Atari recovered from [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]], {{Storylink|Sparkbots Volume 2}} and carrying on with those Marissa recovered from [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Big Convoy]]. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 46|Kiss Players #46}} The Kiss Players gave chase across the timestream, but Brave Maximus wound up crashing into the "[[Wall of Time]]", {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 47|Kiss Players #47}} and the team was scattered across the multiverse. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 48|Kiss Players #48}} {{Storylink|Sparkbots Volume 3}}

Marissa found herself transported to the [[Aurex 103.10 Alpha|MD World]], during the height of the Transformers' [[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|war for energon]]. There, she met the native [[Mini-Con]] [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], who had become separated from his partner [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] after the larger 'bot's death. Having felt a similar loss when Optimus Prime died, Marissa empathized with Blackout, and told him that their partners lived on in their hearts. As the Transformers battled in space overhead, the mysterious force suddenly seized Marissa and dragged her off through time and space, {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 49|Kiss Players #49}} bringing her to prehistoric Earth in her home universe, where she was reunited with the other girls. It transpired the intangible force that had been plaguing their adventures was, in actuality, the power of [[Primus]], god of the Transformers, and that the Sparkbots were in fact, servants of his nemesis, [[Unicron]]. The "Allspark" that the Kiss Players had been gathering was, in fact, Unicron's shattered [[Angolmois Energy|lifeforce]], and the Sparkbots were attempting to resurrect their deceased master. {{Storylink|Sparkbots Volume 4}} Thankfully, Primus was able to trap Unicron's lifeforce within the Earth, but he would not answer the Kiss Players questions on what their own future would be. As his last act before he transformed into a [[Vector Sigma|golden sphere]], Primus returned the Kiss Players to the present day 2007, mere moments after they had left on their adventure. Realizing that her future was not defined by Primus or any god, Marissa vowed to make her own future, and enlisted in the reformed, restructured EDC. {{storylink|Kiss Players episode 51|Kiss Players #51}} {{Storylink|Sparkbots Volume 5}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:Marissafairebornedw2.jpg|225px|thumb|Okay, but what if over all this EDC armor I also wore this sweet leather jacket?]]

Marissa was the granddaughter of [[Nathaniel Faireborn]], founder of the Earth Defense Command.

As [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] attempted to haul the deactivated bodies of [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]], and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] out of an [[Oregon]] lake, they were arrested by Commander Marissa Faireborn and a legion of [[Earth Defense Command|EDC]] troops. {{storylink|The Omega Effect}} Bumper and Warpath were rendered unconscious, and the seven Autobots were taken to the EDCs subterranean headquarters in the Nevada desert. {{storylink|Atonement}} Contrary to first appearances, the EDC actually helped to repair the damaged Autobots, hoping for their aid in investigating a mysterious Cybertronian energy signature emanating from the deserted town of [[San Desto]]. Marissa recruited Jazz, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Bumper for the job, and led them and the [[EDC Night Force Unit]] into action.

[[File:Marissafairebornedw.jpg|left|thumb|You wouldn't be the [[Sammy Harker|first]] [[G.B. Blackrock|human]] he's done this to.]]
Even before they touched down in San Desto, Marissa had established a good rapport with Jazz, with both parties mutually respecting the other's skills. As such, when a sweep of the town turned up no civilians, Marissa instructed her troops to follow Jazz's orders as they would hers, as they began a more thorough search. Soon enough, they were attacked by an army of [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] clones, who killed off most of the EDC soldiers and captured Bumper. {{storylink|Infestation (Dreamwave)|Infestation}} Jazz and Marissa managed to escape to [[Crothers Auto-Body|a garage]], where they found a veritable abattoir of human and bovine remains. The Insecticons tracked them down, forcing them to flee into a subterranean egg chamber, which Jazz promptly torched. This provoked an attack from an enraged [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]], but Sideswipe and Sunstreaker managed to cover Jazz and Marissa's escape back to the surface. Once there, they were confronted with yet more Insecticon clones and the [[cerebro-shell]]-controlled human citizens of San Desto. While the Autobots were unwilling to risk killing the helpless thralls, Marissa waded into the army with fists flying. Further bloodshed was prevented, however, when Bumper took out [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]], neutralizing both clones and slaves. {{storylink|Extermination}}

Soon after, back at EDC headquarters, Marissa shared a few parting words with Jazz as he and the other Autobots waited for their comrades to pick them up. Marissa assured Jazz that he was not to blame for the loss of the entire Night Force, and seemed about to bring up the [[Transformer romance|strange relationship]] that had bloomed between the pair of them, until Wheeljack interrupted. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}}

Sometime later, Marissa was chewed out by [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|her superior]] over the loss of Night Force, who blamed the involvement of the Autobots for the mission going sour. Marissa defended the Autobots (and left the colonel distinctly unimpressed in the process, particularly when he learned that she was on a first-name basis with Jazz), but the colonel demanded that she reinstate her grandfather's [[Project Centurion]], in order to put the EDC on a more equal footing with the Transformers, in terms of power. Marissa objected vocally, but could not sway her commanding officer. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[Earthfall Part 1: Hello Cruel World|''Robots in Disguise'' #28]]}}
[[File:DetonationBoulevard-YoungMarissa.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Marissa Bishop was the illegitimate daughter of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] officer [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Dashiel Faireborn]] and his old girlfriend [[Claire Austin]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 2|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook #2}} She spent an unhappy childhood with her alcoholic mother and surrogate father [[Howard Bishop|Howard]] in [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]]; when her parents divorced, she learned who her biological father was and took his surname out of spite. As G.I. Joe operatives were, at the time, required to fake their death to join, Marissa naturally assumed that her father had died. {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 2|Marissa Faireborn profile}}

While still a college student at [[New York University]], {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 2|Marissa Faireborn profile}} Marissa was participating in the Occupy Wall Street movement in [[New York City]] when the [[Decepticon]] invasion struck, killing thousands and devastating the city. As one of the businessmen she'd been protesting against died in her arms, she realized there were much greater evils out there that humanity needed to stand united against. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (IDW)|Ghost in the Machine}} She enlisted in the military the very next day. {{storylink|Unification Day: Dawn}} Two years later, she graduated and joined [[Skywatch]], under the command of [[Sparkplug Witwicky|General Daniel Witwicky]]; when Skywatch was decommissioned circa 2012, she became a field commander in its replacement, the [[United Nations|UN]]-chartered Earth Defense Command. {{storylink|The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati|The Obliterati}} {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 2|Marissa Faireborn profile}}

[[File:DetonationBoulevard MarissaGeneralWitwicky.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|left]]
When the Decepticons returned in 2014 proposing a truce, Marissa was part of the group General Witwicky brought to the [[Antarctica|South Pole]] to meet with their new leaders: [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]]. Galvatron revealed that [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]], humanity's tormentor, had recently defected to the Autobots; thanks to Galvatron deliberately twisting the nature of this "betrayal," he persuaded EDC to form an alliance with the Decepticons against the Autobots should they return to Earth. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} {{storylink|Secret Raiders: A Revolution Prelude|Secret Raiders}}

At the same time, Marissa helped to forge an alliance of convenience with the Decepticon deserter [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]], providing him asylum on Earth and a source of [[energon]]. Eventually, Marissa caved and gave the marooned ex-Decepticon a dog named [[Buster (IDW)|Buster]] for companionship. {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 2|Marissa Faireborn profile}}

Marissa's second-in-command [[Ayana Jones]], who had served in G.I. Joe prior to the organization's dissolution, eventually revealed to her that Flint was still alive. {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 2|Marissa Faireborn profile}} The two met, but never formed a meaningful relationship. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 3: Behind My Bleeding Back|Behind My Bleeding Back}}

Two months after ratifying this-human Decepticon alliance, Marissa led a strike team to shoot down an intruding Cybertronian starship, one that belonged to [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 2|Marissa Faireborn profile}} The EDC took custody of the ship and its occupant and interred them in the EDC's [[Marshall Islands|Bikini Atoll]] base. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}}

[[File:RID28 Marissa Faireborn.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|"Good work, Thundercracker! We're making you head writer on ''SVU''!"]]

When the Autobots arrived four months later to find Trion, Marissa contacted Thundercracker, using him as bait to lure [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s Autobot team into an ambush. Once Prime and his troops arrived at Thundercracker's home, she revealed the existence of the EDC-Decepticon alliance and placed them under arrest. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 1: Hello Cruel World|Hello Cruel World}} The Autobots resisted and escaped, and Marissa left the pursuit up to her Decepticon allies. This turned out to be a bad idea when the Decepticons confronted the Autobots in a populated area, prompting her to try to call off the operation, but the Decepticons didn't listen. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} Bad came to worse as [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] joined the fight and the Transformers revealed their [[robot mode]]s to the civilians, forcing Marissa to deploy the EDC's trump card: a [[mindbomb]] that knocked the Decepticons out cold, cutting the conflict short. The Autobots got away, and Marissa and her troops quickly got busy covering up what had happened. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}}

While reporting on the clean-up to General Witwicky and [[Sanjay Bharwaney]], located at the EDC's [[Marshall Islands]] base, Marissa was interrupted by Galvatron and Soundwave teleporting into the base and crushing the comm-link. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 4: Full Fathom Five|Full Fathom Five}} She immediately had Thundercracker fly her to the base, arriving in the middle of a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons only to find Witwicky dead. Galvatron claimed the general had been killed by the Autobot [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]], which Marissa believed, knowing of Prowl's grudge against [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Spike Witwicky]]. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 5: I Dream of Wires|I Dream of Wires}}

[[File:TheObliterati-MarissaElbowsSpike.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|"That's for showing up in Season 3 ya jerk!"]]

Marissa and [[Ayana Jones]] traveled to [[Tokyo]] to meet with [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]], CEO of [[Onyx]] and provider of much of the EDC's tech, in response to the reemergence of Spike Witwicky and his threat against Onyx. She was unimpressed with Blackrock's outrage and informed him that Witwicky was never part of the EDC, but that they would capture him regardless. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part One: Signals, Calls, and Marches|Signals, Calls, and Marches}} When Prowl and the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] appeared in Tokyo also in search of Witwicky, Marissa's called for reinforcements as she herself prioritized evacuating Blackrock. Blackrock shocked her with the revelation that he possessed Cybertronian relics, then requested they change course to [[Wanmu]] to protect them. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Two: Vs.|Vs.}} At the Wanmu Onyx base, Marissa was given a tour on Blackrock's collection, most importantly the [[Enigma of Combination]] that he claimed had caused the evolution of human society. The tour was rudely interrupted by Prowl's Devastator, come to retrieve the Enigma. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|ONoffON}} Faireborn and [[Ayana Jones]] found themselves drawing guns on Spike, who pretended Faireborn was an old romantic conquest to confuse and get the drop on her (you're a creep, Spike). When the aforementioned Devastator distracted him, she clobbered him. The incident ended with Spike arrested, the loss of EDC's robot drone army, and Galvatron irked that Faireborn and the EDC had kept information about said drones from him. {{storylink|The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati|The Obliterati}}

Soon after, Faireborn and Jones visited the Decepticon's new [[Sanctuary Station|space station commune]] alongside a gladhandling Blackrock. Both EDC women were worried about him and his stories, and Marissa dropped the bombshell that they had no trace of Blackrock ''existing'' until three years ago. Still, she thought, better to have him on their side than running unchecked, right? {{storylink|South of Heaven}} Not long after, Blackrock used this to gain access to Spike's cell. (Marissa wasn't interested in anything the prisoner had to say. Nor was she interested in listening to Thundercracker's new script but tough shit ''there'') {{storylink|The Nothing Man}}

[[File:Helden-EDCAndThundercracker.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Soon after, Thundercracker learned about Christmas and decided to write a children's story where he was a noir detective investigating a murder caused by Megatron to frame Santa Claus which he read to Marissa. She had some criticisms to offer, namely being killed on page two. {{storylink|The Thirteenth Day of Christmas}}

What Marissa didn't know was that Blackrock had Autobot prisoners under the EDC base and his Onyx Interface was allowing him to spy on all Earth systems. While she groused about Buster the dog peeing on the floor, that same dog and [[D.0.C.]] busted the conspiracy wide open! Faireborn had just enough time to realise what was going on before Galvatron attacked, revealing Blackrock was a sleeper agent for his rival Cybertronian, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 3: Helden|Helden}} Thundercracker, the Autobots, and the E.D.C. gathered their forces in order to prepare for Galvatron's oncoming invasion of the planet. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}}

[[File:NoFairFights-MarissaInTrouble.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]]

When an all out brawl between Autobots and Decepticons broke out in Shanghai, Faireborn ordered the Mind-Bomb fired on all Cybertronians in the city, offering her apologies to the Autobots present for what would befall their comrades. When the victorious, and very ticked off, Autobots arrived at Bikini Atoll, Faireborn acknowledged that Optimus had saved the city from Galvatron and let him take his men without a fight but wondered if she'd done the right thing shortly afterward. The fact that Optimus annexed Earth hours later did not reassure her. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} She and Jones were called to the [[White House]]. To her dismay, the President had reinstated [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Spike]] and made him her liaison the EDC while also putting [[Zilong Qian]] as a contact for the [[People's Liberation Army Mecha Force]]. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}} She and Jones later tried to explain to the President that war with the Autobots was a bad idea and that they should at least consider Optimus' message of peace at face value. Unfortunately for her case, [[Aileron]] showed up making threats and Faireborn was forced, somewhat reluctantly, to coordinate a defence. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 2: Edge of the Earth|Edge of the Earth}} Marissa was present as the EDC received satellite imagery of the Cybertronians' location from an [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|anonymous source]] and half heartedly warned Spike to be careful when engaging Optimus Prime. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} She and Jones received a secret message within the larger message of Blackrock singling his location in the [[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]. The two removed him before [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] could kill him with [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Skywarp]] teleporting them away. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}} She spoke to the President again, trying to highlight the positives only for her superior to warn her that she would soon be removed from her post as head of the EDC. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights|No Fair Fights}} Her replacement was General [[Joe Colton]]. She continued to work for the EDC and called back Spike per his orders. She later explained who Colton was to Skywarp and her opinion that the General was in over his head. {{storylink|White Light}}

After Joe Colton was revealed to have been [[Joe Colton (Dire Wraith)|replaced by a Dire Wraith]] and killed by the Space Knight, [[Rom]], Faireborn was called to the White House where she was to courier a briefcase. She defended her actions to the President before she highlighted the recent string of failures suffered by [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'s. The debate was interrupted when Marissa got an alert that Scarlett had launched an attack on Bikini Atoll to kill the Wraiths there. The Wraiths in the Oval Office, took this as their cue to attack Marissa for the [[Ore-13]] in the briefcase. Marissa was able to mow through them with her custom firearm and deduction of their biology before she called in [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]] for backup. Just as she and the President were cornered by Wraiths, the Seeker arrived and began casually cutting through the Wraiths. When he pointed out the [[Seeker clone]]s had attacked him, that led Marissa to conclude the situation room was compromised by Wraiths before [[Buster (IDW)|Buster]] revealed her ability to sniff out Wraiths. Marissa led the fight to the situation room where she mowed down countless Wraiths with her rifle as Thundercracker killed their leader. After the crisis had passed, Marissa reunited Thundercracker with his friends before the Cybertronian announced he was going on a road trip. {{storylink|Thundercracker & Buster Save the World}} Marissa was still fired but at least the President apologized for it. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 3: Behind My Bleeding Back|Behind My Bleeding Back}}

[[File:DanceAmongTheShadows-unhappyreunion.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|"So, um, this, is, uh, awkward, but, uh, have-have we ever actually, you know, met?"]]

Marissa joined Thundercracker on his road trip and was in [[Egypt]] taking in the sights before Thundercracker received a call. The Seeker however dismissed it as a wrong number and Marissa went off followed by Buster. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}} Marissa was soon reunited with her estranged father who wanted her to join G.I. Joe, so that Thundercracker would aid the team with a Cybertronian problem. The discussion did not go well as Marissa would not be in charge again before she derisively commented on her father's [[Chameleon (G.I. Joe)|latest romantic partner]] (a woman ''barely older'' than her), lamenting that he never changed. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 3: Behind My Bleeding Back|Behind My Bleeding Back}}

Marissa then went to take in the sights of a local bazaar with Buster before Thundercracker convinced her to meet with Flint by suggesting he wanted to get to know her better. With little choice, she went to meet her father and ordered him to land his [[Sky Hawk]] in [[Sicily]]. There she confessed to her father that she had turned down his offer, not because she didn't want to work with him, but because she felt there was no way to win against the Cybertronians. Therefore, she was just seeing the world before it all went to hell. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 4: Dance Among the Shadows|Dance Among the Shadows}}

[[File:OriginMyths-RepresentativeMarissa.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.2]]

Sure enough it went to hell when [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] began invading the world...and then all began leaving. Flint left to follow them but Marissa stayed behind until Thundercracker convinced her otherwise. Arriving at the [[Matterhorn]] after Optimus found a peaceful resolution, she brought forward the idea of a refugee camp for the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] and was rehired to oversee construction. {{storylink|New Cybertron End: Feel Safe Without Regrets|Feel Safe Without Regrets}} After donning a new catsuit, she argued with her dad about the merits of change before she went to defend Thundercracker from [[Pyra Magna]], an act that impressed the Torchbearer. Pyra drove Marissa around and expressed her belief that she and the human were the same and that the Camien wanted Marissa's help in overthrowing Optimus Prime. {{storylink|The Next Day, and the Next}} Marissa and the President later watched [[Brad Emory]] report on [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jazz]]'s interview before the President commented on Marissa's good relations with most Cybertronians, saying it was just what the humans needed asking if she'd given any thought to travelling abroad. {{storylink|The Life of Sideswipe}} After getting approval from the [[United Nations]], Marissa was appointed Earth's first interstellar ambassador. {{storylink|Origin Myths}}

Wearing a stunning (and bulletproof) [[Barber]] original, Marissa departed Autobot City escorted by her father. {{storylink|Primeless, Part 1}} At the grand ceremony within [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Marissa gave a television interview about her past experiences with Cybertronians, saying that the mechanical aliens were part of life and humanity would do well to work with them rather than fight them forever. Riding on a G.I. Joe [[Bridge Layer]] through Iacon, Marissa caught up with [[Ayana Jones|Mayday]] as they discussed the many unknown Cybertronians and that fake smiling was all Marissa could do in the face of thirty-foot tall politicians. {{storylink|Unification Day: Dawn}}

[[File:UnificationDayDawn MarissaRedShadows.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left]]
Arriving at the plaza, Marissa was interviewed by [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]] before a large explosion cut [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] off before he could finish his third word. At [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s command, Marissa and Starscream were evacuated to "Echo Point" by [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]]. {{storylink|First Strike issue 1|First Strike #1}} Marissa, however simply grabbed her firearm and opened fire on the [[Red Shadows]] before her father and Mayday insisted she retreat from the battlefield. As Marissa was being led away, she and Mayday questioned the lack of reinforcements before Flint deduced the Space Bridge was closed and Arcee saved them from death via a COBRA truck. Arcee then carried Marissa and Mayday to safety before the latter went off to find Blackrock and [[Centurion (IDW)|Centurion]]. {{storylink|Unification Day: Dawn}} On Earth, Thundercracker feared what had become of Marissa once Starscream ordered the Space Bridge nexus shut down. {{storylink|Primeless, Part 1}}

Brought to the [[Spire]], Marissa witnessed the harmonious teamwork and democratic progress of Starscream and [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] before Elita put forth the suggestion that all humans were to blame for the attack on Iacon and summoned her weapon to execute all humans starting with Marissa. Far from being intimated, Marissa instead chewed out Elita for thinking indiscriminate mass murder was the sign of great leadership and mocked her intelligence, humbling the Carcerian into taking a more tactical approach. {{storylink|First Strike issue 2|First Strike #2}}

Elita next proposed mass deportation, and Marissa agreed that the humans should have stayed on Earth but since Earth was already a member of the Council, she and her species had every right to be present. After Starscream had locked up [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and [[M.A.S.K.]], Marissa visited [[Scarlett]] and promised that despite [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s blustering, he would mobilize forces against Colton to not look weak. When Scarlett expressed doubt that Starscream could stop Colton, Marissa revealed that all she could do was try to convince Starscream to take the threat seriously and that she was regretting taking the position of ambassador. {{storylink|First Strike issue 4|First Strike #4}} After the creation of [[New Prysmos]], Elita glared at Marissa from behind. {{storylink|First Strike issue 6|First Strike #6}}

[[File:TheDeadComeHomePart1 MarissaFlex.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|Are we ''sure'' this version of her isn't related to [[Lady Jaye]]?]]
Marissa then attended a Council meeting to discuss the state of Cybertron's energon and alternative energy sources. When Elita put forth the idea of invading Earth for resources, Marissa lampshaded the double standard present in the Council before noting that it had taken only forty-seven humans to bring Cybertron to knee and angering six and a half billion more was a bad idea. {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}} Marissa was later retrieved by Blackrock and brought to the Cybertronian wilderness where Optimus revealed his plan to have [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] become Earth's embassy on Cybertron to protect the new generation of [[protoform]]s and show that Earth was as deserving of a spot on the Council as the other colony worlds. {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 2}}

After moving into her new embassy, Marissa found herself beset by paperwork before Starscream stopped by and, to Marissa's horror, hired Thundercracker to produce a biopic about him. After Thundercracker came to Marissa to vent his woes about production troubles, Marissa arranged for him to speak to [[Bulletman|Richard Ruby]] about advice on film making. {{storylink|Starscream: The Movie (comic)|Starscream: The Movie}} Marissa was later present when Windblade returned to her seat on the Council. After Starscream kicked out [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]] and [[Longtooth]] to prevent news of [[Liege Maximo]]'s freedom leaking to the public, Marissa asked [[Knock Out (G1)|Knock Out]] what a Liege Maximo was. {{storylink|The Chosen One}} After Thundercracker's film had bombed in virtually all respects, Marissa comforted her friend before a call came in from [[J.J. Hackensack]] who wanted to collaborate with Thundercracker on his next project. {{storylink|Starscream: The Movie (comic)|Starscream: The Movie}}

[[File:TheGround MarissaWindblade.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8|]]
With Optimus, Marissa oversaw the opening of a jointly operated and employed human/Cybertronian [[Ore-13]] mine in [[Kentucky]]. When the two delivered the energon to Cybertron however, Onyx Prime and Liege Maximo returned to the planet. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}} During the Council session regarding the two Primes, Marissa attempted to make her voice heard only for Onyx to continuously shut her up. When an explosion ripped through the [[Spire]], Optimus and Windblade shielded Marissa. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}} When it transpired that [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] had perished in the blast, Onyx took the opportunity to slander humans as a party that had corrupted Cybertron before fermenting chaos in Iacon, prompting Marissa to call [[Rashid Nasir]] and have him send the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] to help. When Onyx left for his ship, Marissa rode on Windblade's shoulder as the cityspeaker carried Optimus only for the Prime to fall when Metrotitan arrived. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 3: The Ground|The Ground}}

Returning to the Spire, Marissa continued her attempts at summoning the Dinobots only for Trypticon himself to decide that Cybertron has had it and spacebridge himself to Earth. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}} After fliers had failed to find the missing Optimus Prime, Elita advocated turning [[Vigilem|Carcer]] on [[Nemesis (BW)|Nemesis]] but Marissa dissuaded that line of thought in light of the poor luck Metrotitan just had against the evil Titan. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 5: Endless Forever|Endless Forever}} When Onyx was unmasked as Shockwave and brought before the Council, the Decepticon had his crimes read out with Marissa superfluously pointing out the damage that the scientist had wrought to Earth. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}}

Marissa soon went back to Earth to speak to the President regarding the presence of Trypticon - now perched atop [[Mount Rushmore]] - on Earth. As Marissa assured the President that no more Cybertronians would be squatting on Earth, [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jazz]] drove up and turned himself in for killing [[John Powell]] in exchange for [[Rom]] being allowed usage of Trypticon's spacebridge. {{storylink|Unstopped and Unstoppable}}

The Dinobots soon arrived at Jazz's prison to petition for their friend's release, Marissa acting as a mediator between the Joes and Autobots before the [[Colonist Soldiers]] arrived on a half-cocked rescue mission. Despite Marissa's attempts to keep the peace, the situation escalated to the point that [[Gimlet]], in a burst of instinct, killed [[Mainframe (G.I. Joe)|Mainframe]] before [[Slag (G1)|Slug]], in another burst of instinct, slayed the [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukarian]]. When the Junkions chose that moment to try and conquer Earth again, it was Jazz who defused the situation before [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] appeared in the skies overhead, Marissa reflecting that the time of chaos had come at last. {{storylink|Time Will Rust}}

[[File:Ceremony MarissaBuster.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|right]]
Not wasting a moment, Marissa called Thundercracker so he could put his skills to use in the crisis before the President called her regarding Metroplex materializing by [[Victoria Falls]]. When [[Rom]] and Soundwave explained Unicron before the ''[[Peaceful Revolution]]'' materialized, underground, to take all the Transformers to Africa. {{storylink|A Sunrise Dark}} Donning a new catsuit, Marissa attended the briefing in Trypticon. Before Thundercracker left to play his role in the battle, he asked Marissa to watch over Buster, even should he not return. {{storylink|Assembly (Unicron)|Assembly}}

The Aerialbots soon arrived at Mount Rushmore, combining into [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] to revive the "Earth-Enigma" and allowing Soundwave to make use of the physical [[Enigma of Combination]]. Before the plan could be put into motion, Marissa pointed out [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] dropping from overhead only for Superion and a revived [[Victorion]] to engage him while the [[Worldsweeper]] flew off out of control. As Marissa protected Buster during the chaos, Soundwave and Optimus Prime initiated their plan to defeat Unicron using the Enigma and were ultimately successful. Marissa comforted Buster in the aftermath, assuming Thundercracker hadn't survived, but was soon happily proven wrong as her friend returned from space with [[Skywarp (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Skywarp]]. They had a joyful reunion and Marissa nuzzled up with Buster as everyone basked in the sunlight. {{storylink|Ceremony}} As [[Little Cybertron]] underwent repairs, Marissa talked to Arcee about her gender reassignment and her plans for the future. Marissa was later present at Optimus' funeral, openly mourning his passing. {{storylink|Post}}

:A planned release of the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Alternators|Optimus Prime]] in Japanese markets, ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech Asterisk|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Binaltech Asterisk|Black Convoy]] was solicited to retailers in 2005, in a set with an accompanying "Melissa" figurine (as was usual for the ''Asterisk'' line). However, those solicitations were withdrawn and the toy quietly cancelled by the end of the year, with the mold and Melissa instead being released as ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Kiss Players|Convoy]] × [[#Kiss Players 2|Melissa]] in [[2006]].

**''Accessories:'' Four arms, two pairs of legs, stand, "[[Surfblade]]"
{{toydesigner|[[Yuki Ohshima]] (concept artist)}}

: Available only as part of the headliner ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' set, Marissa's first-ever toy is a soft-plastic PVC figurine with a permanent pucker, designed mainly to sit demurely on the [[robot mode]] shoulder of her partner [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Convoy]]. Marissa comes with several interchangeable limbs; a pair of legs bent at the knee to allow her to perch on Prime's shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, a pair of straight legs to allow her stand upright (but only with the aid of the small stand included), a set of straight arms, and a set of arms bent at the elbow to allow her mime the act of placing her hands on Prime's steering wheel while she's sitting in him. She comes with a surfboard (that she really can't use) that becomes either Optimus Prime's "Surfblade" sword or a pair of long serrated knives. The set also comes with a CD containing the first 5 episodes of the ''Kiss Players'' radio drama and the exclusive 10-minute audio story, "[[Someday, Beneath the Sun]]".

: This set was originally intended for release in the ''Binaltech Asterisk'' line as "[[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Black Convoy]] meets Marissa", but was cancelled due to low sales of the previous toys before it was even ''officially'' solicited. How much difference there is between the planned ''Asterisk'' version of Marissa and the final ''Kiss Players'' version is currently unknown. (Although it could be assumed she was originally wearing some pants.)

*'''Marissa Faireborn with Afterbreaker''' ([[2015]])
**''Accessories:'' Jetpack with rifle, pistol, figure stand
: Marissa is one of two exclusive figures available through both the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] and the G.I. Joe Collector's Club stores in 2015. She consists of a combination of redecoed parts from existing ''G.I.Joe'' figures; namely, the head first used for the 2006 version of Agent Courtney Krieger (aka [[Cover Girl]]), the torso and waist of the 2010 ''Resolute'' version of [[Scarlett]], the arms of the 2009 '' Rise of Cobra'' "Paris Pursuit" version of the [[Baroness]], the thighs/upper legs of the 2009 ''Rise of Cobra'' version of Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara, and the hands, lower legs and feet of the 2009 ''Rise of Cobra'' version of Courtney "Cover Girl" Krieger. This combination of parts has the unfortunate effect of making her neck appear disproportionally long.

: Her accessories are likewise recolored from existing ''G.I. Joe'' accessories: Her gun originally came with the 2008 comic pack version of the [[Iron Grenadier]], her rifle originally came with the 2010 ''Pursuit of Cobra'' "Arctic" version of [[Destro]], and the rocket pack is a redeco of the JUMP pack that was first released by itself all the way back in 1982, and has since been available with multiple different figures. These accessories are meant to emulate the rocket pack and [[null-ray]] blaster she used in "[[Five Faces of Darkness]]".

:Also included is a non-transforming "[[Afterburner (G1)#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Afterbreaker]]" (aka Afterburner, renamed due to trademark issues), redecoed from the 2012 ''Retaliation'' Wheel Blaster Bike, in homage to her work with the Technobots in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] episode "[[Money Is Everything (episode)|Money Is Everything]]".

==Notes==
*Although Marissa's father has long been accepted to be the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] member [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] (aka Dashiell Faireborn), there were no statements as to the identity of her mother until recently. In an interview on the Sony BMG re-release of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', former Transformers writer and story editor [[Flint Dille]] confirmed fellow G.I. Joe member [[Lady Jaye]] as Marissa's mother. This would subsequently make Marissa a distant relative of [[Destro]] as well. However, [http://web.archive.org/web/20060319041539/https://joeheadquarters.com/interviews_dille.shtml in an interview with ''G.I. Joe'' fansite Joe Headquarters,] Dille added the caveat that "I've always thought of Flint as being too young to have a daughter that old."
*''Kiss Players'' designer/illustrator Yūki Ōshima based Marissa's black leather battle outfit on that of the [[Baroness]]. He originally wanted her to infiltrate [[Cobra]], but had her join an anti-government resistance team when the idea was shot down.
*Early previews of ''Kiss Players'' implied Marissa to be a current or former EDC member, going so far as to feature an EDC logo on her shirt in early images. The idea was discarded, and the EDC logo was replaced with the set of three eyepatch-wearing skulls referenced above.

Battlecharger

Victinoko: /* 2005 IDW continuity */

{{factions|decepticon}}
:''The Battlechargers are a [[Decepticon]] [[subgroup]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Battlechargers-marvel23a.jpg|upright=2.5|thumb|"Heh heh. He said 'do'."]]
The '''Battlechargers''' are a decidedly devilish duo of deadly Decepticon dragsters diligently dedicated to destruction, demolition and dastardly deviance.

Individually, they are [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]]; collectively, they are a copyeditor's worst nightmare.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[File:Battlechargersperchance.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|[[Iron Man|"DAAAA DAAAA DAN-DAH-DAH, DANANANANA DAAA-NAN DAH!"]]]]
The Battlechargers were summoned to [[Earth]] from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], who wanted a dramatic way to announce his challenge to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] for a fight to the death. Ignoring their orders, the two reckless Decepticons left and began to raise a bit of random highway havoc. During a break in the mayhem, they rested in a parking lot and saw a [[Noah Acton|defiant youngster]] expressing his disgust of family vacations through graffiti. [[Gary Acton|His dad]] angrily escorted him back to the station wagon, and their holiday trip resumed. The Battlechargers, impressed by the boy's disregard for authority, began following the family on a road trip through the [[United States of America|U.S.]], defacing any monuments they happened upon (such as [[Mount Rushmore]], the [[Gateway Arch]] in [[St. Louis]], and the [[Washington Monument]]). They wrote insults and jokes in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian]], thus attracting the attention of [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]], which had already captured thirteen Autobots. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}} ''Their actions also attracted the attention of [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]], though he was ordered by Optimus Prime to back off due to the collateral damage the pursuit was causing.'' {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}}

[[File:MarvelUS23 Battlechargers defeated.JPG|upright=1.4|thumb|"[[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Diarrhea]], cha cha cha! Diarrhea, cha cha cha! Di-ACK!"]]
RAAT caught up with them in [[Philadelphia]], where [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]] engaged them in a battle that nearly killed the graffiti-inclined boy. Because of her disregard for civilian safety, Circuit Breaker was temporarily stripped of her command and ordered to stay out of action. Itching for revenge, she found her only allies to be the partially-disassembled [[Autobot]]s in her RAAT lab. She didn't have time to rebuild them all properly, but she knew she could jury-rig them together into [[Circuit Breaker's Autobot suit|a single form which she could partially control]]. However, she needed the Autobots' consent, and they only agreed to do it if she would release them afterward. She agreed, and she soon fought an aerial battle with the two Decepticons at the [[Statue of Liberty]] (where, incidentally, they had written "humans are wimps" in poor English). The two hooligans met quick defeat at the hands of her makeshift gestalt, their charred bodies sent plunging into the harbor. Circuit Breaker's release of the captive Autobots cost her her job at RAAT, as well as that of [[Donny Finkleberg]], AKA Robot Master, who had helped her do it. Donny had received a $50,000 reward for turning the Autobot [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] in, and he ended up using that money to help pay for the cleanup of the Battlechargers' antics. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

[[File:Clubconresort.jpg|upright=1.4|left|thumb|"Careers are stupid! Everyone, like, works in a booth."]]
For quite some time, the Battlechargers were completely absent except for one of them helping tourists with their suitcases at [[Club Con]]. We assume many things went missing from those suitcases. {{storylink|Club Con!}}

However, when [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] wanted to wrest control of the Earth-based Decepticons from [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]], the Battlechargers mysteriously returned and for unknown reasons joined his motley band of rebels. They attacked Scorponok's [[New Jersey base]], and a battle ensued. {{storylink|Surrender!}} Just as the battle ended, the combatants were transported to Cybertron by [[Primus]], who was gathering his Transformer children to stand against the demigod [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Runamuck died during the planet-rending battle that followed. {{storylink|Still Life!}}

[[File:MarvelUS71 Shockwaves troops.JPG|upright=1.4|thumb|"The plan is to all go to Scorponok's base and stand shooting at him. Runamuck, your thoughts?" "This sucks more than anything I have ever seen."]]
The next day Runabout was strolling with [[Battletrap (G1)|Battletrap]] when he was pulled below ground by a [[Demon|strange Cybertronian creature]], and devoured. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

====Rhythms of Darkness!====
In an alternate post-apocalyptic future where the Decepticons had conquered much of Earth, Runamuck and Runabout were among the Decepticon ranks. Runamuck was shot down by [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]]. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
[[File:Battlechargers stunticons life in the slow lane.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"Breakin' da lawwww, breakin' da lawwwww!"]]
While under Shockwave's command the Battlechargers were part of a squad that ambushed the Dinobots in an attempt to discover how [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] had revived his warriors without the use of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]. Grimlock however had other ideas, crushing Runabout's hand and knocking Runamuck down. The Dinobots had the upper hand but were interrupted by Optimus Prime, who lambasted Grimlock over his crude battle tactics, which he believed endangered the humans. The Decepticons used this distraction to hastily withdraw, leaving just Runabout with a [[neutron cannon]] to inflict some face-saving revenge. The Battlecharger had Grimlock in his sights at point blank range but when Grimlock pointed out that the Decepticon would be caught in the blast, the hapless Runabout took two steps back and fell over the edge of a ravine. {{storylink|Two Steps Back!}}

Later the Battlechargers fell under Megatron's command and were sent to retrieve some [[Starting Over!|misplaced gas canisters]]. The gas was intended to accelerate the greenhouse effect to provide extra heat for conversion into energon for the Decepticon cause. However Shockwave also sent [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]] and [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] to secure the canisters for himself in order to see his rival fail. The opposing teams arrived at the same time and, being incappable of finding a diplomatic solution, the situation soon degenerated into violence. Meanwhile, Prowl had already made the canisters safe and sat back with [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] and some local humans to enjoy the Decepticons beating the frag out of each other! {{storylink|Life in the Slow Lane}}

Runabout and Runamuck were later seen attacking the Autobot [[Earthbase]] as part of a united Decepticon force under [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s command but they ultimately failed to gain any ground and retreated. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====
Despite having apparently died, Runamuck was among the Decepticons under Megatron's command when they ran into [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronians]]. In a rather one-sided battle against the powerful second gen troops, he promptly died again. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
Runamuck attacked [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] and some other Autobots investigating a decimated [[Earth Defense Command]] station that had crashed on the planet [[Goo 8739-B]]. Riding [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]], Runamuck strafed the Autobots with a [[Death crystal|death-crystal]] shooter (the station had been destroyed by death crystals, so it's possible that was Runamuck's work as well). The Autobots engaged the duo in a short space battle that ended when Runamuck blew up a comet with the death crystals, delaying the Autobots long enough to get away. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

[[File:GhostMachine Decepticon execution.jpg|upright=1.15|thumb|"This is the fourth time you've been sent to my office today! And this laughing, what the hell's with this laughing?! All the generals are sick of it!"]]
Both Runabout and Runamuck were next seen guarding [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s city mode on [[Chaar]]. They were attacked by [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]] and the ghost of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], who wanted to steal one of Trypticon's eyes for [[Unicron]]. Starscream possessed Runabout, shot Runamuck, then ran into a wall, knocking Runabout unconscious. Runamuck, however, was able to sound an alarm, and [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] arrived to help. Scourge got Trypticon's eye, and Starscream possessed Astrotrain and escaped. Later, under Unicron's orders, Starscream returned to Chaar and took control of Trypticon, not knowing that Dirge, Thrust, and the Battlechargers were inside. Starscream used Trypticon to bring Unicron's head down Cybertron's surface, but Thrust sabotaged Trypticon from within before Starscream could connect Unicron to the planet. Starscream came out of Trypticon and demanded that Unicron give him a corporeal form so he could complete the connections. Just as Unicron did so, Autobot-planted explosives detonated and sent Unicron's head back into orbit. Starscream was also flung into outer space, where [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] began pursuing him. Trypticon (and the Decepticons inside him) were probably thrown into space as well. Although the Battlechargers never appeared again, Trypticon and the others did, so they most likely did survive. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

[[File:ComingStorm1-Battlechargers.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|"Yeah, yeah. We're in the bureau of beer and fire and cigarettes. And maybe some chicks, too."]]
Runabout and Runamuck were present during the battle that led to the destruction of [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}} At some other time, the pair were hanging out with the equally-delinquent pair of [[Jetstorm (G2)|Jetstorm]] and [[Deluge (G2)|Deluge]] when a [[Nexus Prime|giant Autobot]] and his [[Aquarius (SG)|Quintesson cohort]] wandered into their territory. While Jetstorm and Deluge jumped the Autobot, Runabout and Runamuck tortured the Quintesson. The Decepticons misjudged the strength of their victims, and a short moment later all four Decepticons were defeated, left brutally embarrassed. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

At some point, the Battlechargers were offered a flight mode but they turned it down. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 43|Runamuck's profile in Club magazine #43}}

When [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] abandoned [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with the majority of the Decepticon forces, Runabout and Runamuck opted to stay behind because Galvatron was "crazier than a [[three-headed Nullusceran]]". They were recruited by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], who had them fill him in on recent history and decided it was time to rebuild his [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward}}
Jhiaxus send the duo to find some personality components, and in the process, they discovered a stasis hibernation pod which opened to reveal [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]] inside. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 2}}. Then, they took the amnesiac autobot back to Jhiaxus. After that, Jhiaxus ordened the battlechargers to kidnap [[Hi-Q]] in [[Nebulos]] and bring him to [[Qre]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 3}}
After they arrived on Qre, the pair engaged in some racing with the amnesic Side Burn. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 4}}. When Side Burn's advances were rebuffed by [[Nightracer (G2)|Nightracer]], Runamuck suggested giving her some space, but Side Burn followed Runabout's advice to follow her instead. Then, the Battlechargers trailed behind him. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 5}}
Following Jhiaxus's defeat, Side Burn promised the pair leniency, and indeed after the pair returned to Earth with the Autobots, Hi-Q said he wouldn't press charges. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 6}}

And then they lived happily ever after.

===Young Corgi continuity===
In the year 2000, the Battlechargers tried to destroy the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] in [[San Francisco]], but met resistance from [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]] and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] and were summarily defeated. The battle was shown on the news and recorded by the Autobot ally [[Jeff Grey]], but he accidentally taped over it with an episode of the ''[[Gus Gopher Show]]''. {{storylink|Battle Beneath the Ice}}

Runamuck and Runabout came from distant regions of Cybertron to attend [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s speeches and demonstrations of power as the Decepticon faction begun to take shape. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3 |Megatron Origin #3}} When their leader gave the order to burn [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], Runamuck was one of the first to leap forward in order to carry out Megatron's orders. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}}

Runabout and Runamuck were part of a [[Infiltration protocol|Decepticon insurgent cell]] that had operated covertly on Earth for at least four years, working to destabilize Earth's governing organizations and create global anarchy. Along with [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]], they were assigned by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] to intercept the human [[Stoker]] and retrieve his SM-40 palmtop PC, which contained data on their [[Nebraska]] operation. The team caught up with and killed Stoker outside [[Phoenix]], [[Arizona|AZ]], by which time [[Verity Carlo]] had already stolen the SM-40. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 0|Infiltration #0}} The Battlechargers' attempts to retrieve it from Verity and [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]] blew their cover; {{storylink|Infiltration issue 1|Infiltration #1}} They appeared in full public view both in primary mode and in a secondary [[alternate mode]], where the panels of their sports-car disguises split apart to reveal weapons and ram-plates. While pursuing Ratchet, both Battlechargers were run off the road by a semi-trailer. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 2|Infiltration #2}} They got better, but were no longer part of any major operations. When Megatron arrived on Earth, they, along with the rest of the infiltration team, refused to stand against the Decepticon leader. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 6|Infiltration #6}}

Despite their part in Starscream's mutiny, Runamuck and Runabout were quickly forgiven by Megatron and returned to active duty. {{storylink|Escalation issue 1|Escalation #1}} {{storylink|Escalation issue 2|Escalation #2}}

A year later, when Megatron called [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] to Earth, the Battlechargers questioned his sanity in ruining the careful planning of infiltration protocol. {{storylink|Devastation issue 1|Devastation #1}} The Battlechargers continued their trend of being brutally off-lined when the [[Reaper]]s attacked the Decepticon command bunker in Oregon. Runabout was electrocuted until he exploded and Runamuck was decapitated and then had his errant head crushed by a large boulder. Following the Decepticons' defeat of the Reapers, [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] referred to their deaths as "acceptable losses." {{storylink|Devastation issue 6|Devastation #6}}

The Battlechargers are referred to as '''Ground Soldiers''' and are presented as generic army fodder. They are led by a Ground Soldier General, but otherwise, none are identified by name. Only three types were encountered by the Autobots: Warriors (who use either fists or a sword, along with an energy shield), Sergeants (who use hand-to-hand combat), and Heavy Weapons (who transform into tanks and use hammers). Of the three, Heavy Weapons are based on [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]'s design while retaining the same head design as the other two. {{storylink|Transformers: Devastation}}

==Notes==
[[File:PreBattlecharger.jpg|thumb|upright=0.55|Runamuckabout.]]
*Like [[Punch (G1)|Punch]], the Battlechargers concept was boiling in the design stages long before it was actually implemented. The most notable version of the concept comes from a 1985 patent where the pullback motor detaches and transforms into a robot separate from the robot formed by the car.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19851221&CC=JP&NR=S60259290A&KC=A Patent #JP60-259290A]</ref>
*Fans joked for ''years'' that the Battlechargers, in their "[[Decepticon Graffiti!]]" story, eerily (though coincidentally) resembled the title characters of the MTV animated series ''Beavis and Butt-head'' in their attitude and dynamic (a bit of an anachronism, considering ''Beavis & Butt-head'' was a cartoon which came seven years later). If anything, Runabout and Runamuck share a dynamic more closely similar to that of ''{{w|Heckle and Jeckle}}'' (the wannabe sophisticate and the uncultured slob), whose cartoons had been making the rounds for decades prior to "Decepticon Graffiti". It wasn't until much later that [[Bill Forster]], in ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'', [http://billforster.deviantart.com/art/Runabout-and-Runamuck-176356248 made an official Beavis and Butt-head connection]. Kudos, Bill.

*The ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Blackjack (G1)#Generations|Blackjack]] figure was originally designed as a new Runabout toy.<ref>[[Toy Fair 2015#Notes|TFWiki.net's Toy Fair 2015 report]]</ref> The reasons for its new identity are unknown, but likely involve [[Trademark|name unavailability]] and/or a desire for a more colorful toy. Takara later released the toy as [[Runabout (RID)|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (RID)|Runamuck]] for their [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Japanese toylines|''Adventure'' toyline]].

:''Skids is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ROTF Skids promo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Look, it's that robot child actor that grew up and robbed a convenience store.]]

The dopey-looking '''Skids''' spends a lot of his time arguing with his [[Twins (ROTF)|twin]] brother [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and trying to outdo him in crazy stunts, all while believing ''he's'' the responsible, level headed one. In his own mind, everything dangerous and dopey he does is simply making him a better warrior. And that means one day, one ''glorious'' day, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] will ''notice'' him! Prime even looking in his direction makes him babble, fall over, and generally fail to make an impression, but that won't stop him trying! Underneath it all, he harbors a secret fear that Mudflap is actually the superior warrior of the pair... which is probably true.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Skids Battle Bio]</ref>

Skids' hyper-reactive optical imaging scanner allows him to process tactical information faster than ''anyone'' (except his twin). Add that to his supreme firepower and his unpredictable actions, and he's a pain in the aft for any [[Decepticon]] who wants to counter him! And that's only if they spot him. He changes alt-mode so much it's hard to keep track of him. On Earth, he's already been part of an ice-cream truck (combining with his brother), but he later [[Scanning|scanned]] a {{w|Chevrolet Spark#M300|Chevrolet Beat}} for a disguise, and, sometime after that, a {{w|Chevrolet Spark|Chevrolet Spark}}, but that's unlikely to last very long.

[[File:ROTF-icecreamtruck.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|When the kiddies hear my bell, they all know to run like hell...]]

Skids and his brother were part of a taskforce deployed in Shanghai to root out Decepticon activity. In their combined ice cream truck [[alternate mode]], they rolled through the evacuated zone, taunting and trying to lure out the Decepticons in the area. When the Decepticons did show themselves, they gave chase to the escaping [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. However, their slow and ungainly choice of vehicle could not keep up with the fugitive, and they rounded a corner too sharply, tearing their combined form in half. Even though Mudflap took the blame for the separation, Skids still berated (and smacked) his brother for his failure. Skids reminded his brother that they were in a combat situation and wondered what was wrong with him.

[[File:ROTF Twins truck robot modes.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Yipee! It's Mister Whippy!]]
Upon arrival at [[Diego Garcia]] and NEST headquarters, the twins received new, separate alternate modes. A fight broke out between the two of them over which vehicle they wanted, and Skids "called" the {{w|Chevrolet Beat|Beat}}, resigning Mudflap to the form of a {{w|Chevrolet Trax (concept car)|Trax}}.

Later, the twins, along with the other NEST-allied Autobots, were dispatched to look for [[Sam Witwicky]] when Decepticons were detected heading towards his college. After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was killed by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the twins helped the Autobot force fight off the Decepticon leader and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], allowing Sam, [[Leo Spitz]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to make good their escape. Skids and Mudflap met up with Bumblebee and the humans, and together they fled to a remote location. After teasing Leo for a while for his panic attack, Sam inquired whether one of them could interpret the Cybertronic symbols he had become obsessed with, but the twins claimed that they couldn't read the ancient Language of the Primes, and weren't much into reading, anyway.

[[File:ROTF movie SkidsMudflap bigmother.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"Yousome people gonna die??" "Yep. Wesa screwed."]]

With the help of the Decepticon [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], the group made their way to the Smithsonian, where the humans reactivated the venerable ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. He teleported them all to [[Egypt]] before telling them the tale of the original [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], the [[Star Harvester]], which had the potential to destroy all life on Earth, and finally, the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the key to activating the harvester, and possibly the only thing that could bring Optimus Prime back to life. When the Matrix could not be found at the ruins of [[Petra]], the twins began arguing with each other over why they were following Sam, which soon escalated into physical violence. As their brawl nearly crushed the humans, Bumblebee picked up the twins in each hand, slammed them together, and threw them outside the ruins, which Skids considered to be just rude. Fortunately, their bickering created a hole in the wall where the [[Tomb of the Primes]] lay, and with it, the Matrix.

[[File:ROTF Skids toothless.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|More or less an improvement.]]
Making their way back to the Pyramids where NEST waited with Optimus Prime's body, the group came under attack by Starscream. Mudflap, Skids, Leo and Simmons acted as a decoy to lure the Decepticons away from Sam and Mikaela. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], who [[combiner|combined]] into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and attacked by vacuuming up loose objects such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. As Skids mourned the loss of his twin, Simmons realized that the safest place to be was directly under the giant. But Mudflap had survived being vacuumed up by Devastator, and to escape he had blasted a hole through its head. To buy the humans time to escape, Skids clambered up Devastator's [[Hightower (ROTF)|right forepaw]] to assist Mudflap. Skids threw a cable to Mudflap, who grabbed it and swung off Devastator's head onto his arm. However, once they landed, Mudflap accidentally shot Skids in the face, knocking them off the arm and knocking out Skids' gold tooth in the process. At [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s command, Devastator continued onto the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]]. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Skids's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]," "[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]" and "[[The Last Prime]]"; the "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybooks "[[I Am Optimus Prime (ROTF)|I Am Optimus Prime]]," "[[Operation Autobot]]" "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]," "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Electronic Voice Changer]]" and "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match]]."}}

[[File:Titan2-1 Skids.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.95|You know what? ''You'' tell him he looks dopey.]]

Skids and Mudflap happily stayed on Cybertron, going through intensive training (which ''totally'' wasn't goofing off) and having extreme-sports contests. Neither wanted to leave their homeworld, and they were the only Transformers on it until [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] turned up with [[Purple generic drone|a Decepticon army]]. When they heard him mention a [[Star Harvester]], they realised they should tell someone...but Skids worked out the fastest way to do that would be in person, meaning they'd have to leave their homeworld.

The decision was made for them when the Decepticons attacked. Skids angrily blew away some of the jet-drones when they shot his brother, using an impressive missile barrage, and used transform-and-shoot moves to keep their pursuers away...but he realised this was delaying the inevitable. They fled the planet, with Skids remembering to head for Earth, the site of Optimus's message. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}}

[[File:Titan2 twinsbeats.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|...actually, no, tell him to ''put some clothes on. JESUS!'']]

The twins made it to [[Earth]] soon, crash-landing in [[Toronto]], [[Canada]]. On the way in, Mudflap hit a {{w|CN Tower|big tower}}, but Skids felt it wasn't that big a deal. They swam their way to Ball's Falls, where they picked up Earth alternate modes and set out to try and find local Autobots and warn them about the Star Harvester.

Driving along the wrong side of the Interstate (Skids wanted a challenge!), the twins were attacked by the Seeker [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], trying to kill them on [[the Fallen]]'s orders. While Skids dissed Ransack's retro alt mode, he pursued them across {{w|North by Northwest|open countryside}}. With their energon levels low, the airborne enemy kept up with the twins, and Skids soon collapsed, unable to run any further. He and his brother would've both died, if not for Bumblebee arriving and forcing the Seeker into retreat. {{Storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

[[File:Titan2-3 Mudflap face.jpg|right|thumb|"I hear you're racist now, Father! How'd you get involved in that sorta thing?"]]

Now living at [[NEST]]'s [[California]]n base with Bumblebee as their minder, Skids and Mudflap repeatedly asked to deliver their info to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]—and only Optimus, much to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide's]] annoyance. He was more annoyed when they ambushed him (Skids tipping crates on him!) to get to Optimus...who, as it turns out, was away on a need-to-know mission anyway.

After this defeat, and with Ironhide having bluntly told them nobody believed them, they desperately asked to join in a NEST op in [[Las Vegas]]...getting turned down, because they were too crap to get involved. Annoyed with this, Skids went along with Mudflap's suggestion to go to Vegas and show Ironhide just what they could do! What they could do, it turned out, was screw up a successful mission by freeing [[Grindor (ROTF)|a captured Decepticon]] by trying to "shoot him down". Skids was left mortified. Ironhide, recognising what they were trying to do, told him that maybe they could work on training the twins not to jump in without looking, and that the trick was to learn from mistakes. The twins claimed they'd try. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

They soon wished they hadn't, as they were condemned to NEST's [[United Kingdom|Orkney Islands]] base for days of sim-com (simulated combat) training under [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Skids had a nagging feeling this was just an excuse to keep them away from the main action, and both protested to Sideswipe that they could handle Decepticons. Him pointing out their failure with Grindor shut them up. However, the training was interrupted when [[Ravage (ROTF)|a huge metal cat monster]] broke into the base, KOed Sideswipe, and tried to eat the twins!

[[File:Titan2-4 SkidsRavage.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4| That's a bad Mister Kitty!]]

They transformed and fled, drawing the creature into a trap where Skids used his weaponry to bring the roof down on it. When that failed, he deferred to and helped Mudflap carry out his plan of trapping the beast in a sim-com session on maximum setting. With that done, and with it revealed that the creature was sent after them by another Decepticon, they tried to fill in the revived Sideswipe... except the creature had gone, leaving their instructor with the view that ''they'd'' knocked him out in revenge for their training. Between that and Grindor, he thinks they're up to something... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

[[File:Titan2-5 twinsHEstartedit.jpg|right|thumb|Which one of you left the tap running!?]]

The twins were later taken to Diego Garcia, and ecstatic to learn Optimus was coming there! Sideswipe stated he didn't know about their info and wasn't here to talk to them, cutting off Skids as he attempted to mention the [[the Fallen|"dude they call the F-"]]. While their trainer told them how they weren't to see Prime, the twins cunningly drove off when he wasn't looking and headed for the base's runway. The mood soured when Skids noticed Mudflap was planning to pinch the credit for their intel, and soon the two of them were having a big fight and slagging match on the runway...

And so their first meeting with Optimus Prime was to be yelled at for conduct unbecoming of an Autobot warrior. (Mudflap started it!)

That was when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] made his attack, blasting at the distracted Prime. Skids made the situation worse by accidentally tripping over Optimus, preventing him from taking control, and so Scorponok liberated the prisoner [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Sideswipe, watching from a distance, believed Skids had done that ''deliberately'', and convinced Prime that the twins were traitors: they must have helped Scorponok get here and now assisted him in his mission, on top of freeing Grindor and attacking him at Orkney! Skids and Mudflap protested they were being set up because they knew too much, but it fell on deaf ears as they were taken into custody. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

[[File:Titan6 Samabducted.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|The car picks the driver.]]

Following this, the decision was made to exile the twins into orbit. A disgruntled Skids remarked they should've minded their own business and ignored the Fallen, but help was at hand... from the Decepticons? Freed by a Decepticon attack, an angry Skids realised they'd been framed ''again'' and now the Autobots would think they were massive traitors. The two went underground to clear their names, and hit on the foolproof plan of abducting [[Sam Witwicky]] from his house and pleading with him to tell their story to Optimus. All this did was cause Bumblebee to launch an attack to rescue Sam. Skids spat out the kid, remarking he'd need to clean his seats to get the organic off them, but that didn't stop Bumblebee holding him at gunpoint...

...until Soundwave arrived, gunning down the Autobot and offering the twins sanctuary in the Decepticons. Skids quickly agreed {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}, intending to get into a position where they could whallop a Decepticon and hand him over to the Autobots to clear their names. After some fun times of annoying the other Decepticons, the twins were dispatched to bring in an AWOL member; Skids was annoyed to find Mudflap didn't know they were just pretending, and hoped Soundwave would be sending a minder (either Grindor or Sideways) they could ambush.

[[File:Titan deceptitwins.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|''Two of these things are not like the other...'']]

The AWOL member turned out to be Ransack. Skids quickly lied to him, saying they'd ''totally'' been sent by [[the Fallen]] to bring him in from the cold. This deception worked, until the Decepticon minders attacked... both of them! Skids ordered Mudflap after Sideways while he launched suppressive fire on Grindor and dodged each shot. Unfortunately, the chopper bugged out with Ransack held captive. While the twins had captured Sideways, Skids wasn't satisfied: he was tired of taking the fall and being pushed around. He decided they were going to go gunning for Soundwave and bring down his whole conspiracy! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[File:Titan2-8 twinsanywaytowelcome.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.95]]
Upon returning to the Phobos base, it suddenly occurred to Skids that they had no plan... but, as Mudflap wisely pointed out to him, that never stopped them before! The twins stormed the base, but initial success was undone when Starscream and Soundwave fought back. Luckily, the two Decepticons were forced to run off after Ransack, who'd fled talking about reporting to the Fallen. Skids was left feeling that they'd just seen part of a really big, confusing picture. Unfortunately, this was just a short respite, as the twins discovered just what that army massing on Cybertron had been planning: to arrive at the Phobos base en route to Earth...

The twins stood ready to make their last stand, and Skids told his brother it had been an honour to work with him... when Optimus arrived with the other Autobots! The twins had been tracked to Phobos and to their shock, the other Autobots had realised they weren't traitors and were even apologising! And with all the street cred of uncovering the Phobos base, the twins were welcomed to the Autobots' Earth division. Skids briefly wondered if they should mention "the ''Fa-''" again, but was convinced not to by Mudflap. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

[[File:Tales of the Fallen Issue 6 Twins.jpg|right|thumb|upright=0.85|Rob Schneider is... DERP!]]
Some time after hearing Optimus Prime's rallying call but before making it to Earth, Skids and Mudflap were kidnapped by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] and taken to an unspecified Decepticon outpost. There, unscrupulous Decepticon medic [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]] attempted to forcibly reprogram them into loyal Decepticon soldiers, but all he ended up doing was knocking out a good chunk of their intellect and reasoning skills. They probably would've spent the rest of their days locked up and experimented on if a recently upgraded [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] had not sprung them from their cell. Even though they didn't understand everything the silly biker ladies were saying, Skids and Mudflap let Arcee escort them both to their stolen ship, past hordes of drones, Flatline and Thundercracker himself before the outpost self-destructed. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}}

[[File:Alliance04 icecreamtruck.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Skids is the one in front.]]
Skids and Mudflap arrived on [[Earth]] as part of Autobot reinforcements that [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] with [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]], [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. The ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]], {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}}. They both chose the [[combiner|combined]] form of an old, beat-up ice cream truck. The newly arrived Autobots joined the human-Transformer military alliance [[NEST]] and began training in earnest on [[Diego Garcia]], but soon had to be deployed to [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

Skids and Mudflap were in [[Seattle]] with NEST tracking the Decepticon straggler, [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]]. They helped guide her stolen RV right into Sideswipe's sights, and he then impaled the "girl" in her seat. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

Later, when [[Theodore Galloway]] and his unit were attacked by [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] en route to investigate the mysterious activities of the enigmatic [[Initiative]] at [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots dispatched Skids and Mudflap to Galloway's aid. Together, they held Ransack off until a NEST strike team could arrive and finish him off. The Twins then accompanied Galloway and the soldiers to Hoover Dam, and while the Initiative forces had already cleared out, Skids and Mudflap realized what they had been after: residal energy from the [[AllSpark]] that had been kept there. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} To uncover the Initiative's secret goals, the Autobot soon allied themselves with [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], and followed his lead to the Initiative's base of operations in [[Crater Lake]], [[Oregon]]. Skids and Mudflap were deployed to attack the base from the east; when they were met with resistance in the form of the Initiative's troops, they took them out of the equation by disabling the advanced weaponry they were wielding with precision blasts. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} He and Mudflap then worked as back-up for Bumblebee's team of cadets in the final battle at Crater Lake. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, the Twins joined Arcee, her sisters, and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. Fearswoop surrendered while the other Decepticons were killed. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After [[Sam Witwicky]] contacted NEST as [[Philadelphia]] was beign attacked by Decepticons, the Twins joined Prime and the other Autobots in helping the boy. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} Skids and Mudflap survived the battle when the [[Driller]] took [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] away. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Skids and Mudflap were present at NEST's Washington base during Optimus Prime's conversation with [[Charlotte Mearing]] about the moon landings.

Later, the Twins were on hand when [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] revealed that he was in league with the Decepticons and killed Ironhide. As Sentinel turned his weapon toward Bumblebee, Skids charged forward to stop the treacherous Autobot, but wound up taking the full force of the blast himself and perished. But before he died, Skids last word's to Mudflap was "''Sorry, bro … guess I wasn’t … as smart … as I thought … sor—''" as he crumbled into dust under the effects of the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]]. Skids's death sent Mudflap into a rage, but even his righteous anger could not make him a match for Sentinel, and he too met his ends moments later. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation}}

Skids and Mudflap had been tasked with looking over Sam while Bumblebee was away on a mission. The twins reported to Optimus that they suspected a [[new lab assistant]] working at the science lab at Sam's university to be a Decepticon spy. They turned out to be correct. Even after Megatron's latest plot had been foiled, and the Twins requested some time off from "spying" on Sam, Optimus informed them that their battle against the Decepticons was far from over. {{storylink|Prime Target (book)|Prime Target}}

Upon learning that [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]] and [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]] were causing trouble, Optimus ordered Skids and the rest of the Autobots to roll out to face the Decepticons. Thanks to Soundwave's tampering with their communications, however, the Autobots arrived at an abandonned warehouse instead of where the trouble was taking place. Thankfully, Sam and Bumblebee met with the Autobots, and led them to the correct location. The Decepticons were defeated and the Autobots cheered Sam for his help in the mission. {{storylink|Satellite Meltdown}}

===Toy bios===
Skids and his brother idolise Optimus Prime and the other great Autobot heroes, and joined the battle on Earth solely to be part of their crew. {{storylink|Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Mudflap}} In an early mission, however, they found themselves used as guinea pigs for experimental combination technology; trying to ''stay'' combined in their gestalt vehicle mode took up more of their focus than fighting Decepticons! {{storylink|#Icecreamtruck|Autobot Skids and Mudflap (Deluxe Combiner)}}

Believing himself to be the "smart one" of the twins, Skids constantly tries to impress Autobot High Command with his <s>inane, random babbling about everything</s> insightful comments about things. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Autobot Skids}} This chatter blows any stealth mission he's part of, so Ironhide has cunningly assigned Skids and his brother to create diversions (far, ''far'' away from him). {{storylink|#Robot Replicas|Robot Replica Skids}}

Skids thought of himself as pretty capable, yet Mikaela was a better driver than he is. Concentrating on squeezing every last bit of power out of his engine while she takes the wheel, even the fastest and most powerful Decepticons have trouble keeping up with them. {{storylink|#Human Alliance|''Human Alliance'' Autobot Skids / Arcee / Mikaela Banes}}

[[Oil Pan]] may be crazy good driving skills, but he was not used to dealing with someone as unpredictable as Skids. He was more than happy to cause total chaos on the freeway, as long as it meant catching his quarry. While the other Autobots wish Skids was more careful, at least he gets the job done. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Turner Skids (Deluxe)}}

During Sideways's sojourn into the Autobot camp, Skids and Mudflap became suspicious and reverted to their old ice cream truck form to keep track of him. Having discovered Sideways's treachery, they planned to prove their worth by defeating him on their own! {{storylink|#SpyBattle|High-Speed Spy Battle}}

Having grown up a lot since the battle against The Fallen, Skids has learned a little bit about keeping his mouth shut. He has also spent months being trained by Ironhide on how to effectively handle himself in a fight. {{storylink|#Cyberverse|Cyberverse Autobot Skids}} While he has been hardened by frequent battles, Skids has also become more sensitive to the value of life thanks to his partnership with humans. He is still an eager warrior, his first priority would always be the defense of those under his protection. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 3|''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Autobot Skids}}

Skids was eventually given to [[Robert Epps]] for proper training. Skids and Epps became good friends as they both love beating up Decepticons! {{storylink|#Human Alliance 2|''Human Alliance'' Autobot Skids / Elita 1 / Sergeant Epps}}

*'''Autobot Skids''' (Legends Class, [[2009]]/[[2010]])
**''TakaraTomy ID Number'': '''EZ-13'''

: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Skids is a simple, affordable small-scale toy that converts from robot into a licensed Chevy Beat. Amusingly, just like his brother Mudflap, the [[kibble]] on his arm actually works as his big deformed hand, only grossly oversized. Due to the lack of stopping points on the head piece, Skids is prone to looking up if not transformed properly.

:The prototype photos of his robot mode depicts his unpaintable joints being molded/painted in the same green as the rest of his body.

:Skids was also available individually in Japan as part of the blindpacked EZ Collection line.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-10'''

:Skids was released as part of the second wave of deluxe class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' action figures. He transforms into a green Chevy Beat Concept car with black stripe designs on either side and a black hood. His vehicle form features transparent blue windows. In robot mode, Skids features a "[[Mech Alive]]" [[gimmick]] that makes the fenders on the sides of his chest push out and his head move forward when the front grill is pushed inwards. Moving the head up and down through this gimmick may suggest it's meant to make him appear as though he is talking, but the packaging only says "Moving Armor Panels".

:Skids's right arm is larger than his left, just like his movie counterpart's. It features a small cannon that, when pressed, both makes the cannon stick out in a position more suitable for firing and activates Skids's "Punching Robot Fist" action. Despite this, his right hand is surprisingly poseable.

:Skids originally came with unpainted teeth cast in green plastic. A [[variant|running change variant]] adds gold paint for one tooth and white paint for the other one.<ref name="deluxeteeth">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/skids/1818/1/41/ Both variants of Deluxe Class Autobot Skids with painted and unpainted teeth at Seibertron.com]</ref>

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-20'''

:This two-pack of the twin Autobot brothers can combine into a single, old-fashioned ice cream truck. The vehicle splits in half right down the middle of its chassis (similar to how it does in the film) to create the two small robot forms. Other than the transformation, the toy features no [[gimmick]]s.

:Mudflap's heels are too thick for his feet to fold up properly in vehicle mode, though this can be fixed by trimming them. Also, this toy may be the first Transformer to feature the typeface Comic Sans, which is used to write "MADE FRESH FOR YOU" across both front wheel hubs. But that's on Skids's half, so Mudflap is partly absolved here.

:The ice cream truck features unpainted rust detailing.

:Amusingly, the ice cream truck accommodates [[Human Alliance]] human figures ''really'' well.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-25'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Human Alliance Skids comes with a transforming figure of [[Arcee (Movie)#Human Alliance|Arcee]], as well as a posable figure of [[Mikaela Banes]] that can fit inside in Skids's vehicle mode, plugging into either of his seats via a small hole in her back. In robot mode, Skids' seats end up on his arms, and Mikaela can still sit in either of them. Skids' right arm also features a spring-loaded missile launcher that can rotate into place in front of the seat, with flip-up firing controls for Mikaela to take charge of. Mikaela can also stand on a small flip-up platform behind Skids (via peg-holes on her feet), manning a small non-firing minigun that flips out over the top of Skids' head. Additionally, Skids' palms each contain a peg, meaning Mikaela can securely stand or sit on her big buddy's hands.

:Finally, pressing down on the middle gray piece above Skids' eyes opens and closes his mouth, to simulate a talking motion.

:There is a small [[Show-accuracy|inaccuracy]] in the design of the toy's robot mode, being that the CGI robot's model doesn't have door wings; the doors cannot be hidden without modification. The primary weapons of HA Skids and HA Mudflap are also switched, being that the grappling hook actually belongs to Skids, while the gun belongs to Mudflap, instead.

His license plate says "1H8CONS," and on the back is a bumper sticker that reads "I helped make the Fallen falled!" While stock photography shows the figure has one gold painted tooth and one silver one, the figure actually has both teeth painted silver.

**''TakaraTomy ID Number:'' '''DA07'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Hand Blaster/Double-Barreled Cannon

: Part of the first wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[MechTech]] Deluxe-Class toys, Autobot Skids transforms from a black Chevrolet Spark with narrow green stripes into a stumpy robot with big feet. He is a smaller and less articulated, but more stable and <s>movie-accurate</s> comic-accurate figure, and comes with a Hand Blaster that transforms into a Double-Barreled Cannon when the scope is pulled. He features seven MechTech ports in total, with two ports on the roof in vehicle mode, one for each of his hands, one each on the underside and the sculpted panel on his right arm, one on the foldable panel on his left arm, and one port on his back to allow the weapon to be mounted over his head.

: His weapon was redecoed into the weapons of [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SpecialistRatchet|Specialist Ratchet]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#StreetsideBotBrawl|Streetside Bot Brawl Bumblebee]]. It is also similar to the MechTech weapon of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]], although that is an entirely new mold.

==Controversy==
From watching ''Revenge of the Fallen'', it should be pretty obvious that the depiction of the Twins is rooted in racist stereotypes of African-Americans. Their illiteracy in [[Cyberglyphics]] is framed as "never learnin' to read", they speak in an overall stereotypical manner, and are generally shown to not be very clever and quick to violence. Furthermore, compared to the other Autobots (and even fellow black-coded movie Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]), their designs are visibly more hunched and ugly, with disfigured faces and a gold buck tooth on Skids. [[Tales of the Fallen issue 6|One later attempt]] to "smooth over" the problem would reveal that the pair act the way they do due to them being brain damaged, which only exacerbates the issue.

What's unclear is where exactly this imagery originated from: writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] claimed to have been following [[Michael Bay|Michael Bay’s]] lead on the character, while Bay stated that it came from a piece of improv by actors [[Tom Kenny]] and [[Reno Wilson]]. Though Kenny, who is white, declined to comment when interviewed, Wilson, who is black, stated that they had been given direction to play the twins as "wannabe gangster types". This was apparently supposed to play off the fact that, as alien robots who had learned human language and culture from the internet, they could not be black, with Wilson likening them to white rappers like {{w|Kevin Federline}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090626132026/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/transformers-jivetalking-_n_220005.html Transformers' Jive-Talking Robots Raise Race Issues - The Huffington Post]</ref> What this means for Jazz, as well as the [[Brains|other]] [[Mohawk|characters]] Wilson has played, is unknown. Whatever the intent, nobody involved seems to want to be tied to the issue. Orci and Kurtzman have attempted to distance themselves from the characters, stating that the stereotypes weren't in their script.<ref>[http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/orci-and-kurtzman-respond-to-claims-of-racism-in-transformers-2.php Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman respond to claims of racism on ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Film School Rejects, June 24, 2009]</ref> For whatever reason, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel, written by Alan Dean Foster and based on Orci and Kurtzman’s screenplay, only depicts ''Skids'' as the film-accurate slang-talker, while Mudflap speaks like any other Autobot, albeit with a thick lisp. Meanwhile, [[Simon Furman]]'s ''Revenge of the Fallen'' material has ''both'' of the twins using less slang; presumably, Furman likely did not wish to try his hand at "street".

Whatever the intended direction for the characters, the "wannabe gangster" shtick really doesn't come across in the finished project. [[Robert Epps]], the only prominent black human character in the film, is never shown having anything to say about them, for example. Ultimately, the Twins' portrayal was rightfully deemed pretty disgusting, and the resultant public backlash was likely what led the studio to quietly drop the pair partway into the filming of ''Dark of the Moon''. While their intended role in the film survived into that film's [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|novelization]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic book adaptation]], the Twins are thankfully not present in any future movie stories, and are indeed conspicuous by their absence in the cross-film ''[[Studio Series]]'' toyline.

==Notes==
*The ice cream truck is apparently based on a heavily customized 1930s Chevrolet truck.{{fact|confirmation needed}} [[Ben Procter]] apparently lifted the color scheme and deco for his early concept design for the ice cream truck<ref name="procterrotf">[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=2772 Ben Procter's ROTF concept art at Concept Art World.]</ref> ''directly'' off a photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck that had been added to the Wikipedia article for "ice cream van" in February 2006,<ref name="wikipediaice">{{w|File:Ice Cream Truck Sydney Australia - crop.png|Photo of an Australian ice cream truck at Wikipedia, added in February 2006.}}</ref> down to identical placement and design of the fonts and graphics. The details were later slightly tweaked for the final design that can be seen in the movie... but only very slightly so.
*One of the decals on the ice cream truck's side that was created specifically for the movie reads "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] suck my popsicle." Classy. Too bad the toy does not. (Because, you know, for kids...)
**A "censored" version of the movie is rumored to exist with the aforementioned text edited out, with the somewhat nonsensical result of "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]]           popsicle". This version was supposedly shown in some theaters even though other theaters in the same market apparently got the uncensored version. The more likely explanation for this would be that different theaters simply used different lightings settings, which effectively rendered the words "suck my" (which were written in dark red on a black backdrop to begin with) invisible, with no actual intention of "censorship" behind it.
[[File:ROTFSmartCarTwinConcept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Skids and Mudflap would never get their Larry.]]
*In the brief scenes that the twins appear in robot mode while still in their ice cream truck-[[kibble]]d robot forms, both have four wheels present due to the redressing of their individual car-based robot CGI models. The wheels are considerably wider than the ones present on the ice cream truck too.
**Also, in the scanning scene, Skids is very briefly seen changing from the full ice cream truck into a fetal positioned robot in a literal flash of light. This is most likely due to the pair having very little screentime in those forms meaning proper transformations weren't animated. Him being the full truck however can definitely be considered an error.
**Speaking of transformations not being animated, the pair both proceed to curl up into a ball and turn into their new forms with the same burst of light, just as Skids did in his transformation mere seconds ago.
*The Twins' final alternate modes in the film, the Chevrolet Beat (Skids) and Chevrolet Trax (Mudflap), were designed by General Motors as small car concept vehicles. At one point in the film's pre-production, another small car, the [[Mercedes-Benz]] {{w|Smart (automobile)|Smart}}, was evidently considered as an option for a film character; concept art of a "third twin" based on it appears in various sections of the ''Revenge'' DVD special features, always in close proximity to concept art of Skids and Mudflap. Whether it was meant to be a third character related to Skids and Mudflap or if it was supposed to be used in place of one of them is unknown. What '''is''' known is that [[Hasbro]] has had great difficultly in the past trying to get likeness licenses from German automakers, which is probably why the vehicle/character was dropped.
*In their combined ice cream truck mode, the Twins sport the [[license plate]] "KDM 814". A minor variant of this, "KDM 0814" with an extra "0", was later used for the life-sized Bumblebee prop on various displays from 2009 up until at least 2011. For the individual cars, two different sets of license plates were apparently used, either "Beat" and "Trax" referencing their car models or "Skids" and "Mudflap", with the latter two being featured more prominently in the movie (the "BEAT" plate can be seen briefly during the New York City scene, and it's ''possible'' the "TRAX" plate was used for the same scene, although the car's plate is offscreen during that scene). All four plates were auctioned off in October 2009.<ref name="licenseauct">[http://www.icollector.com/Autobots-Skids-and-Mudfap-s-license-plates-from-Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen_i8633012 Mudflap and Skids license plates for auction] at icollector.com</ref> The auction claims that the plates referring to their car models were used in vehicle mode, while those identifying the two Autobots by name were used in robot mode... which is ''directly'' refuted by screencaps from the movie included with the auction, which show the robot name plates on the cars in vehicle mode. Also, the two ''real'' Chevrolet Beat and Trax cars the Twins scan already feature individualized license plates sporting their robot names. Huh.
*Skids' left hand has three fingers while his right has four.
*The Chevrolet Beat, Skids's upgraded [[alternate mode]], went into production in 2011 as the Chevrolet Spark.

*Amusingly, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro's Battle Bio] for Skids lists his arch-enemy as... [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]].
*Skids's name is only mentioned once on-screen (by Mudflap right before he loses his grip on Skids when Devastator is trying to suck them up).
* The Twins were originally supposed to return for ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''. Even though [[General Motors]] provided two Chevrolet Sparks to serve as their alternate modes<ref name="chevyspark">[http://www.leftlanenews.com/chevrolet-spark-transformers-3.html Left Lane News article on two Chevrolet Sparks spotted on the DOTM set], May 2010.</ref> which were still spotted on the set as late as October 2010,<ref name="dcparking">[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2010/10/transformers-3-dc-parking-lot-gallery.html "Transformers 3 DC Parking Lot Gallery"], Transformers Live Action Movie Blog, October 2010.</ref> the two were mostly edited out of the final movie (their vehicle modes can barely be glimpsed in a brief shot). Michael Bay even went so far as to offer a $25,000 reward for anyone who would see the Twins "perform" in the movie.<ref name="reward">[http://collider.com/transformers-3-twins-skids-mudflap-michael-bay/91104/ Collider.com article on Michael Bay's "reward" for spotting Skids and Mudflap "perform" in DOTM], May 2011.</ref> In the novelization and the comic adaptation, Skids and Mudflap still appear.
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' comic, Skids is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Sideswipe (Kre-O)|Sideswipe]] helmet.
*Skids is one of many Autobots featured in Harold Attinger's card deck in Age of Extinction. His card wasn't visible in the movie, but revealed as a part of a prop auction. Oddly enough, he is not labeled as deceased. Considering how adaptations of Dark of the Moon feature Skids' death, it is possible that his inclusion in the deck is a continuity error.<ref>[[:File:AOE-Kill-Cards-Set-3.jpg]]</ref>

[[File:ROTF Skids promo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Look, it's that robot child actor that grew up and robbed a convenience store.]]

The dopey-looking '''Skids''' spends a lot of his time arguing with his [[Twins (ROTF)|twin]] brother [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and trying to outdo him in crazy stunts, all while believing ''he's'' the responsible, level headed one. In his own mind, everything dangerous and dopey he does is simply making him a better warrior. And that means one day, one ''glorious'' day, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] will ''notice'' him! Prime even looking in his direction makes him babble, fall over, and generally fail to make an impression, but that won't stop him trying! Underneath it all, he harbors a secret fear that Mudflap is actually the superior warrior of the pair... which is probably true.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Skids Battle Bio]</ref>

Skids' hyper-reactive optical imaging scanner allows him to process tactical information faster than ''anyone'' (except his twin). Add that to his supreme firepower and his unpredictable actions, and he's a pain in the aft for any [[Decepticon]] who wants to counter him! And that's only if they spot him. He changes alt-mode so much it's hard to keep track of him. On Earth, he's already been part of an ice-cream truck (combining with his brother), but he later [[Scanning|scanned]] a {{w|Chevrolet Spark#M300|Chevrolet Beat}} for a disguise, and, sometime after that, a {{w|Chevrolet Spark|Chevrolet Spark}}, but that's unlikely to last very long.

Skids and his brother were part of a taskforce deployed in Shanghai to root out Decepticon activity. In their combined ice cream truck [[alternate mode]], they rolled through the evacuated zone, taunting and trying to lure out the Decepticons in the area. When the Decepticons did show themselves, they gave chase to the escaping [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. However, their slow and ungainly choice of vehicle could not keep up with the fugitive, and they rounded a corner too sharply, tearing their combined form in half. Even though Mudflap took the blame for the separation, Skids still berated (and smacked) his brother for his failure. Skids reminded his brother that they were in a combat situation and wondered what was wrong with him.

[[File:ROTF Twins truck robot modes.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Yipee! It's Mister Whippy!]]
Upon arrival at [[Diego Garcia]] and NEST headquarters, the twins received new, separate alternate modes. A fight broke out between the two of them over which vehicle they wanted, and Skids "called" the {{w|Chevrolet Beat|Beat}}, resigning Mudflap to the form of a {{w|Chevrolet Trax (concept car)|Trax}}.

Later, the twins, along with the other NEST-allied Autobots, were dispatched to look for [[Sam Witwicky]] when Decepticons were detected heading towards his college. After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was killed by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the twins helped the Autobot force fight off the Decepticon leader and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], allowing Sam, [[Leo Spitz]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to make good their escape. Skids and Mudflap met up with Bumblebee and the humans, and together they fled to a remote location. After teasing Leo for a while for his panic attack, Sam inquired whether one of them could interpret the Cybertronic symbols he had become obsessed with, but the twins claimed that they couldn't read the ancient Language of the Primes, and weren't much into reading, anyway.

[[File:ROTF movie SkidsMudflap bigmother.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"Yousome people gonna die??" "Yep. Wesa screwed."]]

With the help of the Decepticon [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], the group made their way to the Smithsonian, where the humans reactivated the venerable ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. He teleported them all to [[Egypt]] before telling them the tale of the original [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], the [[Star Harvester]], which had the potential to destroy all life on Earth, and finally, the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the key to activating the harvester, and possibly the only thing that could bring Optimus Prime back to life. When the Matrix could not be found at the ruins of [[Petra]], the twins began arguing with each other over why they were following Sam, which soon escalated into physical violence. As their brawl nearly crushed the humans, Bumblebee picked up the twins in each hand, slammed them together, and threw them outside the ruins, which Skids considered to be just rude. Fortunately, their bickering created a hole in the wall where the [[Tomb of the Primes]] lay, and with it, the Matrix.

[[File:ROTF Skids toothless.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|More or less an improvement.]]
Making their way back to the Pyramids where NEST waited with Optimus Prime's body, the group came under attack by Starscream. Mudflap, Skids, Leo and Simmons acted as a decoy to lure the Decepticons away from Sam and Mikaela. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], who [[combiner|combined]] into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and attacked by vacuuming up loose objects such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. As Skids mourned the loss of his twin, Simmons realized that the safest place to be was directly under the giant. But Mudflap had survived being vacuumed up by Devastator, and to escape he had blasted a hole through its head. To buy the humans time to escape, Skids clambered up Devastator's [[Hightower (ROTF)|right forepaw]] to assist Mudflap. Skids threw a cable to Mudflap, who grabbed it and swung off Devastator's head onto his arm. However, once they landed, Mudflap accidentally shot Skids in the face, knocking them off the arm and knocking out Skids' gold tooth in the process. At [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s command, Devastator continued onto the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]]. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Skids and Mudflap could be spotted in vehicle mode at the end of an Autobot convoy as the team rolled into the hangar of NEST's [[Washington, D.C.]] base.

Later, what appears to be Mudflap can be seen parked next to Sideswipe, when Sam comes to NEST for the first time. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[File:Titan2-1 Skids.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.95|You know what? ''You'' tell him he looks dopey.]]

Skids and Mudflap happily stayed on Cybertron, going through intensive training (which ''totally'' wasn't goofing off) and having extreme-sports contests. Neither wanted to leave their homeworld, and they were the only Transformers on it until [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] turned up with [[Purple generic drone|a Decepticon army]]. When they heard him mention a [[Star Harvester]], they realised they should tell someone...but Skids worked out the fastest way to do that would be in person, meaning they'd have to leave their homeworld.

The decision was made for them when the Decepticons attacked. Skids angrily blew away some of the jet-drones when they shot his brother, using an impressive missile barrage, and used transform-and-shoot moves to keep their pursuers away...but he realised this was delaying the inevitable. They fled the planet, with Skids remembering to head for Earth, the site of Optimus's message. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}}

[[File:Titan2 twinsbeats.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|...actually, no, tell him to ''put some clothes on. JESUS!'']]

The twins made it to [[Earth]] soon, crash-landing in [[Toronto]], [[Canada]]. On the way in, Mudflap hit a {{w|CN Tower|big tower}}, but Skids felt it wasn't that big a deal. They swam their way to Ball's Falls, where they picked up Earth alternate modes and set out to try and find local Autobots and warn them about the Star Harvester.

Driving along the wrong side of the Interstate (Skids wanted a challenge!), the twins were attacked by the Seeker [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], trying to kill them on [[the Fallen]]'s orders. While Skids dissed Ransack's retro alt mode, he pursued them across {{w|North by Northwest|open countryside}}. With their energon levels low, the airborne enemy kept up with the twins, and Skids soon collapsed, unable to run any further. He and his brother would've both died, if not for Bumblebee arriving and forcing the Seeker into retreat. {{Storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

[[File:Titan2-3 Mudflap face.jpg|right|thumb|"I hear you're racist now, Father! How'd you get involved in that sorta thing?"]]

Now living at [[NEST]]'s [[California]]n base with Bumblebee as their minder, Skids and Mudflap repeatedly asked to deliver their info to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]—and only Optimus, much to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide's]] annoyance. He was more annoyed when they ambushed him (Skids tipping crates on him!) to get to Optimus...who, as it turns out, was away on a need-to-know mission anyway.

After this defeat, and with Ironhide having bluntly told them nobody believed them, they desperately asked to join in a NEST op in [[Las Vegas]]...getting turned down, because they were too crap to get involved. Annoyed with this, Skids went along with Mudflap's suggestion to go to Vegas and show Ironhide just what they could do! What they could do, it turned out, was screw up a successful mission by freeing [[Grindor (ROTF)|a captured Decepticon]] by trying to "shoot him down". Skids was left mortified. Ironhide, recognising what they were trying to do, told him that maybe they could work on training the twins not to jump in without looking, and that the trick was to learn from mistakes. The twins claimed they'd try. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

They soon wished they hadn't, as they were condemned to NEST's [[United Kingdom|Orkney Islands]] base for days of sim-com (simulated combat) training under [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Skids had a nagging feeling this was just an excuse to keep them away from the main action, and both protested to Sideswipe that they could handle Decepticons. Him pointing out their failure with Grindor shut them up. However, the training was interrupted when [[Ravage (ROTF)|a huge metal cat monster]] broke into the base, KOed Sideswipe, and tried to eat the twins!

[[File:Titan2-4 SkidsRavage.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4| That's a bad Mister Kitty!]]

They transformed and fled, drawing the creature into a trap where Skids used his weaponry to bring the roof down on it. When that failed, he deferred to and helped Mudflap carry out his plan of trapping the beast in a sim-com session on maximum setting. With that done, and with it revealed that the creature was sent after them by another Decepticon, they tried to fill in the revived Sideswipe... except the creature had gone, leaving their instructor with the view that ''they'd'' knocked him out in revenge for their training. Between that and Grindor, he thinks they're up to something... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

[[File:Titan2-5 twinsHEstartedit.jpg|right|thumb|Which one of you left the tap running!?]]

The twins were later taken to Diego Garcia, and ecstatic to learn Optimus was coming there! Sideswipe stated he didn't know about their info and wasn't here to talk to them, cutting off Skids as he attempted to mention the [[the Fallen|"dude they call the F-"]]. While their trainer told them how they weren't to see Prime, the twins cunningly drove off when he wasn't looking and headed for the base's runway. The mood soured when Skids noticed Mudflap was planning to pinch the credit for their intel, and soon the two of them were having a big fight and slagging match on the runway...

And so their first meeting with Optimus Prime was to be yelled at for conduct unbecoming of an Autobot warrior. (Mudflap started it!)

That was when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] made his attack, blasting at the distracted Prime. Skids made the situation worse by accidentally tripping over Optimus, preventing him from taking control, and so Scorponok liberated the prisoner [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Sideswipe, watching from a distance, believed Skids had done that ''deliberately'', and convinced Prime that the twins were traitors: they must have helped Scorponok get here and now assisted him in his mission, on top of freeing Grindor and attacking him at Orkney! Skids and Mudflap protested they were being set up because they knew too much, but it fell on deaf ears as they were taken into custody. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

[[File:Titan6 Samabducted.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|The car picks the driver.]]

Following this, the decision was made to exile the twins into orbit. A disgruntled Skids remarked they should've minded their own business and ignored the Fallen, but help was at hand... from the Decepticons? Freed by a Decepticon attack, an angry Skids realised they'd been framed ''again'' and now the Autobots would think they were massive traitors. The two went underground to clear their names, and hit on the foolproof plan of abducting [[Sam Witwicky]] from his house and pleading with him to tell their story to Optimus. All this did was cause Bumblebee to launch an attack to rescue Sam. Skids spat out the kid, remarking he'd need to clean his seats to get the organic off them, but that didn't stop Bumblebee holding him at gunpoint...

...until Soundwave arrived, gunning down the Autobot and offering the twins sanctuary in the Decepticons. Skids quickly agreed {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}, intending to get into a position where they could whallop a Decepticon and hand him over to the Autobots to clear their names. After some fun times of annoying the other Decepticons, the twins were dispatched to bring in an AWOL member; Skids was annoyed to find Mudflap didn't know they were just pretending, and hoped Soundwave would be sending a minder (either Grindor or Sideways) they could ambush.

[[File:Titan deceptitwins.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|''Two of these things are not like the other...'']]

The AWOL member turned out to be Ransack. Skids quickly lied to him, saying they'd ''totally'' been sent by [[the Fallen]] to bring him in from the cold. This deception worked, until the Decepticon minders attacked... both of them! Skids ordered Mudflap after Sideways while he launched suppressive fire on Grindor and dodged each shot. Unfortunately, the chopper bugged out with Ransack held captive. While the twins had captured Sideways, Skids wasn't satisfied: he was tired of taking the fall and being pushed around. He decided they were going to go gunning for Soundwave and bring down his whole conspiracy! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[File:Titan2-8 twinsanywaytowelcome.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.95]]
Upon returning to the Phobos base, it suddenly occurred to Skids that they had no plan... but, as Mudflap wisely pointed out to him, that never stopped them before! The twins stormed the base, but initial success was undone when Starscream and Soundwave fought back. Luckily, the two Decepticons were forced to run off after Ransack, who'd fled talking about reporting to the Fallen. Skids was left feeling that they'd just seen part of a really big, confusing picture. Unfortunately, this was just a short respite, as the twins discovered just what that army massing on Cybertron had been planning: to arrive at the Phobos base en route to Earth...

The twins stood ready to make their last stand, and Skids told his brother it had been an honour to work with him... when Optimus arrived with the other Autobots! The twins had been tracked to Phobos and to their shock, the other Autobots had realised they weren't traitors and were even apologising! And with all the street cred of uncovering the Phobos base, the twins were welcomed to the Autobots' Earth division. Skids briefly wondered if they should mention "the ''Fa-''" again, but was convinced not to by Mudflap. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

[[File:Tales of the Fallen Issue 6 Twins.jpg|right|thumb|upright=0.85|Rob Schneider is... DERP!]]
Some time after hearing Optimus Prime's rallying call but before making it to Earth, Skids and Mudflap were kidnapped by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] and taken to an unspecified Decepticon outpost. There, unscrupulous Decepticon medic [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]] attempted to forcibly reprogram them into loyal Decepticon soldiers, but all he ended up doing was knocking out a good chunk of their intellect and reasoning skills. They probably would've spent the rest of their days locked up and experimented on if a recently upgraded [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] had not sprung them from their cell. Even though they didn't understand everything the silly biker ladies were saying, Skids and Mudflap let Arcee escort them both to their stolen ship, past hordes of drones, Flatline and Thundercracker himself before the outpost self-destructed. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}}

[[File:Alliance04 icecreamtruck.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Skids is the one in front.]]
Skids and Mudflap arrived on [[Earth]] as part of Autobot reinforcements that [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] with [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]], [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. The ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]], {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}}. They both chose the [[combiner|combined]] form of an old, beat-up ice cream truck. The newly arrived Autobots joined the human-Transformer military alliance [[NEST]] and began training in earnest on [[Diego Garcia]], but soon had to be deployed to [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

Skids and Mudflap were in [[Seattle]] with NEST tracking the Decepticon straggler, [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]]. They helped guide her stolen RV right into Sideswipe's sights, and he then impaled the "girl" in her seat. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

Later, when [[Theodore Galloway]] and his unit were attacked by [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] en route to investigate the mysterious activities of the enigmatic [[Initiative]] at [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots dispatched Skids and Mudflap to Galloway's aid. Together, they held Ransack off until a NEST strike team could arrive and finish him off. The Twins then accompanied Galloway and the soldiers to Hoover Dam, and while the Initiative forces had already cleared out, Skids and Mudflap realized what they had been after: residal energy from the [[AllSpark]] that had been kept there. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} To uncover the Initiative's secret goals, the Autobot soon allied themselves with [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], and followed his lead to the Initiative's base of operations in [[Crater Lake]], [[Oregon]]. Skids and Mudflap were deployed to attack the base from the east; when they were met with resistance in the form of the Initiative's troops, they took them out of the equation by disabling the advanced weaponry they were wielding with precision blasts. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} He and Mudflap then worked as back-up for Bumblebee's team of cadets in the final battle at Crater Lake. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, the Twins joined Arcee, her sisters, and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. Fearswoop surrendered while the other Decepticons were killed. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After [[Sam Witwicky]] contacted NEST as [[Philadelphia]] was beign attacked by Decepticons, the Twins joined Prime and the other Autobots in helping the boy. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} Skids and Mudflap survived the battle when the [[Driller]] took [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] away. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Skids and Mudflap were present at NEST's Washington base during Optimus Prime's conversation with [[Charlotte Mearing]] about the moon landings.

Later, the Twins were on hand when [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] revealed that he was in league with the Decepticons and killed Ironhide. As Sentinel turned his weapon toward Bumblebee, Skids charged forward to stop the treacherous Autobot, but wound up taking the full force of the blast himself and perished. But before he died, Skids last word's to Mudflap was "''Sorry, bro … guess I wasn’t … as smart … as I thought … sor—''" as he crumbled into dust under the effects of the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]]. Skids's death sent Mudflap into a rage, but even his righteous anger could not make him a match for Sentinel, and he too met his ends moments later. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation}}

Skids and Mudflap had been tasked with looking over Sam while Bumblebee was away on a mission. The twins reported to Optimus that they suspected a [[new lab assistant]] working at the science lab at Sam's university to be a Decepticon spy. They turned out to be correct. Even after Megatron's latest plot had been foiled, and the Twins requested some time off from "spying" on Sam, Optimus informed them that their battle against the Decepticons was far from over. {{storylink|Prime Target (book)|Prime Target}}

Upon learning that [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]] and [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]] were causing trouble, Optimus ordered Skids and the rest of the Autobots to roll out to face the Decepticons. Thanks to Soundwave's tampering with their communications, however, the Autobots arrived at an abandonned warehouse instead of where the trouble was taking place. Thankfully, Sam and Bumblebee met with the Autobots, and led them to the correct location. The Decepticons were defeated and the Autobots cheered Sam for his help in the mission. {{storylink|Satellite Meltdown}}

===Toy bios===
Skids and his brother idolise Optimus Prime and the other great Autobot heroes, and joined the battle on Earth solely to be part of their crew. {{storylink|Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Mudflap}} In an early mission, however, they found themselves used as guinea pigs for experimental combination technology; trying to ''stay'' combined in their gestalt vehicle mode took up more of their focus than fighting Decepticons! {{storylink|#Icecreamtruck|Autobot Skids and Mudflap (Deluxe Combiner)}}

Believing himself to be the "smart one" of the twins, Skids constantly tries to impress Autobot High Command with his <s>inane, random babbling about everything</s> insightful comments about things. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Autobot Skids}} This chatter blows any stealth mission he's part of, so Ironhide has cunningly assigned Skids and his brother to create diversions (far, ''far'' away from him). {{storylink|#Robot Replicas|Robot Replica Skids}}

Skids thought of himself as pretty capable, yet Mikaela was a better driver than he is. Concentrating on squeezing every last bit of power out of his engine while she takes the wheel, even the fastest and most powerful Decepticons have trouble keeping up with them. {{storylink|#Human Alliance|''Human Alliance'' Autobot Skids / Arcee / Mikaela Banes}}

[[Oil Pan]] may be crazy good driving skills, but he was not used to dealing with someone as unpredictable as Skids. He was more than happy to cause total chaos on the freeway, as long as it meant catching his quarry. While the other Autobots wish Skids was more careful, at least he gets the job done. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Turner Skids (Deluxe)}}

During Sideways's sojourn into the Autobot camp, Skids and Mudflap became suspicious and reverted to their old ice cream truck form to keep track of him. Having discovered Sideways's treachery, they planned to prove their worth by defeating him on their own! {{storylink|#SpyBattle|High-Speed Spy Battle}}

Having grown up a lot since the battle against The Fallen, Skids has learned a little bit about keeping his mouth shut. He has also spent months being trained by Ironhide on how to effectively handle himself in a fight. {{storylink|#Cyberverse|Cyberverse Autobot Skids}} While he has been hardened by frequent battles, Skids has also become more sensitive to the value of life thanks to his partnership with humans. He is still an eager warrior, his first priority would always be the defense of those under his protection. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 3|''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Autobot Skids}}

Skids was eventually given to [[Robert Epps]] for proper training. Skids and Epps became good friends as they both love beating up Decepticons! {{storylink|#Human Alliance 2|''Human Alliance'' Autobot Skids / Elita 1 / Sergeant Epps}}

*'''Autobot Skids''' (Legends Class, [[2009]]/[[2010]])
**''TakaraTomy ID Number'': '''EZ-13'''

: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Skids is a simple, affordable small-scale toy that converts from robot into a licensed Chevy Beat. Amusingly, just like his brother Mudflap, the [[kibble]] on his arm actually works as his big deformed hand, only grossly oversized. Due to the lack of stopping points on the head piece, Skids is prone to looking up if not transformed properly.

:The prototype photos of his robot mode depicts his unpaintable joints being molded/painted in the same green as the rest of his body.

:Skids was also available individually in Japan as part of the blindpacked EZ Collection line.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-10'''

:Skids was released as part of the second wave of deluxe class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' action figures. He transforms into a green Chevy Beat Concept car with black stripe designs on either side and a black hood. His vehicle form features transparent blue windows. In robot mode, Skids features a "[[Mech Alive]]" [[gimmick]] that makes the fenders on the sides of his chest push out and his head move forward when the front grill is pushed inwards. Moving the head up and down through this gimmick may suggest it's meant to make him appear as though he is talking, but the packaging only says "Moving Armor Panels".

:Skids's right arm is larger than his left, just like his movie counterpart's. It features a small cannon that, when pressed, both makes the cannon stick out in a position more suitable for firing and activates Skids's "Punching Robot Fist" action. Despite this, his right hand is surprisingly poseable.

:Skids originally came with unpainted teeth cast in green plastic. A [[variant|running change variant]] adds gold paint for one tooth and white paint for the other one.<ref name="deluxeteeth">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/skids/1818/1/41/ Both variants of Deluxe Class Autobot Skids with painted and unpainted teeth at Seibertron.com]</ref>

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-20'''

:This two-pack of the twin Autobot brothers can combine into a single, old-fashioned ice cream truck. The vehicle splits in half right down the middle of its chassis (similar to how it does in the film) to create the two small robot forms. Other than the transformation, the toy features no [[gimmick]]s.

:Mudflap's heels are too thick for his feet to fold up properly in vehicle mode, though this can be fixed by trimming them. Also, this toy may be the first Transformer to feature the typeface Comic Sans, which is used to write "MADE FRESH FOR YOU" across both front wheel hubs. But that's on Skids's half, so Mudflap is partly absolved here.

:The ice cream truck features unpainted rust detailing.

:Amusingly, the ice cream truck accommodates [[Human Alliance]] human figures ''really'' well.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-25'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Human Alliance Skids comes with a transforming figure of [[Arcee (Movie)#Human Alliance|Arcee]], as well as a posable figure of [[Mikaela Banes]] that can fit inside in Skids's vehicle mode, plugging into either of his seats via a small hole in her back. In robot mode, Skids' seats end up on his arms, and Mikaela can still sit in either of them. Skids' right arm also features a spring-loaded missile launcher that can rotate into place in front of the seat, with flip-up firing controls for Mikaela to take charge of. Mikaela can also stand on a small flip-up platform behind Skids (via peg-holes on her feet), manning a small non-firing minigun that flips out over the top of Skids' head. Additionally, Skids' palms each contain a peg, meaning Mikaela can securely stand or sit on her big buddy's hands.

:Finally, pressing down on the middle gray piece above Skids' eyes opens and closes his mouth, to simulate a talking motion.

:There is a small [[Show-accuracy|inaccuracy]] in the design of the toy's robot mode, being that the CGI robot's model doesn't have door wings; the doors cannot be hidden without modification. The primary weapons of HA Skids and HA Mudflap are also switched, being that the grappling hook actually belongs to Skids, while the gun belongs to Mudflap, instead.

: Tuner Skids is a [[redeco]] of ROTF Deluxe Class Autobot Skids (Chevrolet Beat version) in black and a darker shade of green. His license plate says "1H8CONS," and on the back is a bumper sticker that reads "I helped make the Fallen falled!" While stock photography shows the figure has one gold painted tooth and one silver one, the figure actually has both teeth painted silver.

: Part of the first wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[MechTech]] Deluxe-Class toys, Autobot Skids transforms from a black Chevrolet Spark with narrow green stripes into a stumpy robot with big feet. He is a smaller and less articulated, but more stable and <s>movie-accurate</s> comic-accurate figure, and comes with a Hand Blaster that transforms into a Double-Barreled Cannon when the scope is pulled. He features seven MechTech ports in total, with two ports on the roof in vehicle mode, one for each of his hands, one each on the underside and the sculpted panel on his right arm, one on the foldable panel on his left arm, and one port on his back to allow the weapon to be mounted over his head.

: His weapon was redecoed into the weapons of [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SpecialistRatchet|Specialist Ratchet]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#StreetsideBotBrawl|Streetside Bot Brawl Bumblebee]]. It is also similar to the MechTech weapon of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]], although that is an entirely new mold.

==Controversy==
From watching ''Revenge of the Fallen'', it should be pretty obvious that the depiction of the Twins is rooted in racist stereotypes of African-Americans. Their illiteracy in [[Cyberglyphics]] is framed as "never learnin' to read", they speak in an overall stereotypical manner, and are generally shown to not be very clever and quick to violence. Furthermore, compared to the other Autobots (and even fellow black-coded movie Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]), their designs are visibly more hunched and ugly, with disfigured faces and a gold buck tooth on Skids. [[Tales of the Fallen issue 6|One later attempt]] to "smooth over" the problem would reveal that the pair act the way they do due to them being brain damaged, which only exacerbates the issue.

What's unclear is where exactly this imagery originated from: writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] claimed to have been following [[Michael Bay|Michael Bay’s]] lead on the character, while Bay stated that it came from a piece of improv by actors [[Tom Kenny]] and [[Reno Wilson]]. Though Kenny, who is white, declined to comment when interviewed, Wilson, who is black, stated that they had been given direction to play the twins as "wannabe gangster types". This was apparently supposed to play off the fact that, as alien robots who had learned human language and culture from the internet, they could not be black, with Wilson likening them to white rappers like {{w|Kevin Federline}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090626132026/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/transformers-jivetalking-_n_220005.html Transformers' Jive-Talking Robots Raise Race Issues - The Huffington Post]</ref> What this means for Jazz, as well as the [[Brains|other]] [[Mohawk|characters]] Wilson has played, is unknown. Whatever the intent, nobody involved seems to want to be tied to the issue. Orci and Kurtzman have attempted to distance themselves from the characters, stating that the stereotypes weren't in their script.<ref>[http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/orci-and-kurtzman-respond-to-claims-of-racism-in-transformers-2.php Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman respond to claims of racism on ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Film School Rejects, June 24, 2009]</ref> For whatever reason, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel, written by Alan Dean Foster and based on Orci and Kurtzman’s screenplay, only depicts ''Skids'' as the film-accurate slang-talker, while Mudflap speaks like any other Autobot, albeit with a thick lisp. Meanwhile, [[Simon Furman]]'s ''Revenge of the Fallen'' material has ''both'' of the twins using less slang; presumably, Furman likely did not wish to try his hand at "street".

Whatever the intended direction for the characters, the "wannabe gangster" shtick really doesn't come across in the finished project. [[Robert Epps]], the only prominent black human character in the film, is never shown having anything to say about them, for example. Ultimately, the Twins' portrayal was rightfully deemed pretty disgusting, and the resultant public backlash was likely what led the studio to quietly drop the pair partway into the filming of ''Dark of the Moon''. While their intended role in the film survived into that film's [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|novelization]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic book adaptation]], the Twins are thankfully not present in any future movie stories, and are indeed conspicuous by their absence in the cross-film ''[[Studio Series]]'' toyline.

==Notes==
*The ice cream truck is apparently based on a heavily customized 1930s Chevrolet truck.{{fact|confirmation needed}} [[Ben Procter]] apparently lifted the color scheme and deco for his early concept design for the ice cream truck<ref name="procterrotf">[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=2772 Ben Procter's ROTF concept art at Concept Art World.]</ref> ''directly'' off a photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck that had been added to the Wikipedia article for "ice cream van" in February 2006,<ref name="wikipediaice">{{w|File:Ice Cream Truck Sydney Australia - crop.png|Photo of an Australian ice cream truck at Wikipedia, added in February 2006.}}</ref> down to identical placement and design of the fonts and graphics. The details were later slightly tweaked for the final design that can be seen in the movie... but only very slightly so.
*One of the decals on the ice cream truck's side that was created specifically for the movie reads "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] suck my popsicle." Classy. Too bad the toy does not. (Because, you know, for kids...)
**A "censored" version of the movie is rumored to exist with the aforementioned text edited out, with the somewhat nonsensical result of "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]]           popsicle". This version was supposedly shown in some theaters even though other theaters in the same market apparently got the uncensored version. The more likely explanation for this would be that different theaters simply used different lightings settings, which effectively rendered the words "suck my" (which were written in dark red on a black backdrop to begin with) invisible, with no actual intention of "censorship" behind it.
[[File:ROTFSmartCarTwinConcept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Skids and Mudflap would never get their Larry.]]
*In the brief scenes that the twins appear in robot mode while still in their ice cream truck-[[kibble]]d robot forms, both have four wheels present due to the redressing of their individual car-based robot CGI models. The wheels are considerably wider than the ones present on the ice cream truck too.
**Also, in the scanning scene, Skids is very briefly seen changing from the full ice cream truck into a fetal positioned robot in a literal flash of light. This is most likely due to the pair having very little screentime in those forms meaning proper transformations weren't animated. Him being the full truck however can definitely be considered an error.
**Speaking of transformations not being animated, the pair both proceed to curl up into a ball and turn into their new forms with the same burst of light, just as Skids did in his transformation mere seconds ago.
*The Twins' final alternate modes in the film, the Chevrolet Beat (Skids) and Chevrolet Trax (Mudflap), were designed by General Motors as small car concept vehicles. At one point in the film's pre-production, another small car, the [[Mercedes-Benz]] {{w|Smart (automobile)|Smart}}, was evidently considered as an option for a film character; concept art of a "third twin" based on it appears in various sections of the ''Revenge'' DVD special features, always in close proximity to concept art of Skids and Mudflap. Whether it was meant to be a third character related to Skids and Mudflap or if it was supposed to be used in place of one of them is unknown. What '''is''' known is that [[Hasbro]] has had great difficultly in the past trying to get likeness licenses from German automakers, which is probably why the vehicle/character was dropped.
*In their combined ice cream truck mode, the Twins sport the [[license plate]] "KDM 814". A minor variant of this, "KDM 0814" with an extra "0", was later used for the life-sized Bumblebee prop on various displays from 2009 up until at least 2011. For the individual cars, two different sets of license plates were apparently used, either "Beat" and "Trax" referencing their car models or "Skids" and "Mudflap", with the latter two being featured more prominently in the movie (the "BEAT" plate can be seen briefly during the New York City scene, and it's ''possible'' the "TRAX" plate was used for the same scene, although the car's plate is offscreen during that scene). All four plates were auctioned off in October 2009.<ref name="licenseauct">[http://www.icollector.com/Autobots-Skids-and-Mudfap-s-license-plates-from-Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen_i8633012 Mudflap and Skids license plates for auction] at icollector.com</ref> The auction claims that the plates referring to their car models were used in vehicle mode, while those identifying the two Autobots by name were used in robot mode... which is ''directly'' refuted by screencaps from the movie included with the auction, which show the robot name plates on the cars in vehicle mode. Also, the two ''real'' Chevrolet Beat and Trax cars the Twins scan already feature individualized license plates sporting their robot names. Huh.
*Skids' left hand has three fingers while his right has four.
*The Chevrolet Beat, Skids's upgraded [[alternate mode]], went into production in 2011 as the Chevrolet Spark.

*Amusingly, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro's Battle Bio] for Skids lists his arch-enemy as... [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]].
*Skids's name is only mentioned once on-screen (by Mudflap right before he loses his grip on Skids when Devastator is trying to suck them up).
* The Twins were originally supposed to return for ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''. Even though [[General Motors]] provided two Chevrolet Sparks to serve as their alternate modes<ref name="chevyspark">[http://www.leftlanenews.com/chevrolet-spark-transformers-3.html Left Lane News article on two Chevrolet Sparks spotted on the DOTM set], May 2010.</ref> which were still spotted on the set as late as October 2010,<ref name="dcparking">[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2010/10/transformers-3-dc-parking-lot-gallery.html "Transformers 3 DC Parking Lot Gallery"], Transformers Live Action Movie Blog, October 2010.</ref> the two were mostly edited out of the final movie (their vehicle modes can barely be glimpsed in a brief shot). Michael Bay even went so far as to offer a $25,000 reward for anyone who would see the Twins "perform" in the movie.<ref name="reward">[http://collider.com/transformers-3-twins-skids-mudflap-michael-bay/91104/ Collider.com article on Michael Bay's "reward" for spotting Skids and Mudflap "perform" in DOTM], May 2011.</ref> In the novelization and the comic adaptation, Skids and Mudflap still appear.
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' comic, Skids is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Sideswipe (Kre-O)|Sideswipe]] helmet.

The goofy-looking '''Mudflap''' and his [[Twins (ROTF)|twin]] [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] are a result of a split spark, and share a close bond accordingly. Mudflap is hyperactive, noisy, argumentative, and eager... not that different from his brother.

The twins were first into action for NEST's mission to Shanghai, slowly trundling through the city streets in their ice-cream truck mode and taunting Decepticons in the area to show themselves. Two Decepticons soon did: [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. At NEST's orders, the twins went after the smaller foe and, working with Arcee, managed to herd him into an alleyway. However, their slow, ungainly choice of alternate mode left them unable to keep up with Sideways. While Arcee leapt through a building to pursue the Decepticon, the twins tried to go around the building to catch him. However, the twins inadvertently split apart from one another when they rounded the corner too sharply, thus taking them out of the chase. Mudflap took the blame for the crash, but Skids still berated (and smacked) Mudflap for his failure.
[[File:ROTF Twins truck robot modes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Ben and Jerry?]]
Upon arrival to Diego Garcia and NEST headquarters, the twins were given new, individual alternate forms to make sure another incident like that never happened. Mudflap wanted the Chevy Beat as a vehicle form, but after a brief wrestling match with his brother, he was relegated to the form of the Chevrolet Trax.

Later, the twins, along with the other NEST-allied Autobots, were dispatched to look for [[Sam Witwicky]] when Decepticons were detected heading towards his college. After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was killed by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the twins helped the Autobot force fight off the Decepticon leader and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], allowing Sam, [[Leo Spitz]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to make good their escape. Skids and Mudflap met up with Bumblebee and the humans, and together they fled to a remote location. After the twins teased Leo for a while for his panic attack, Sam inquired whether one of them could interpret the Cybertronic symbols with which he had become obsessed. The twins claimed that they couldn't read the ancient Language of the Primes and weren't much into reading, anyway.

[[File:ROTF movie SkidsMudflap bigmother.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|And this is us when we traveled to...hey, Skids, where did we go again?]]

With the help of the Decepticon [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], the group made their way to the Smithsonian, where the humans reactivated the venerable ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. He teleported them all to [[Egypt]] before telling them the tale of the original [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], the [[Star Harvester]], which had the potential to destroy all life on Earth, and finally, the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the key to activating the harvester and possibly the only thing that could bring Optimus Prime back to life. When the Matrix could not be found at the ruins of [[Petra]], Mudflap questioned why they were helping Sam, wondering what they had done for the Autobots. Skids pointed out that Sam ''had'' killed Megatron, but Mudflap said the point was moot since Megatron was now back. After calling each other "scared" and "ugly" the two began to fight with one another. After damaging the structure and nearly crushing the humans, Bumblebee picked the twins up, bashed them together, and threw them out the door. However, their bickering created a hole in the wall where the [[Tomb of the Primes]] lay, and with it, the Matrix.

[[File:ROTF Devastator Mudflap swallow.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|[[Simon Furman]] would have had a [[Furmanism|field day]] with this scene.]]
Making their way back to the Pyramids where NEST waited with Optimus Prime's body, the group came under attack by Starscream. Mudflap, Skids, Leo and Simmons acted as a decoy to lure the Decepticons away from Sam and Mikaela. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], who [[combiner|combined]] into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and attacked by vacuuming up loose objects such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Hanging on for dear life inside the monster's mouth, he tried to use his "{{w|Kung-Fu grip|kung-fu grip}}", but was sucked further inside, losing his shoulder guards in the process.

[[File:ROTF Mudflap vs Devastator.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"Wait Devastator! You have a bug on your face, let me shoot it for you!"]]
As Skids mourned the loss of his twin, Simmons realized that the safest place to be was directly under the giant. But he had survived being vacuumed up by Devastator, and to escape he had blasted a hole through its head. To buy the humans time to escape, Skids clambered up Devastator's [[Hightower (ROTF)|right forepaw]] to assist Mudflap. Skids threw a cable to Mudflap, who grabbed it and swung off Devastator's head onto his arm. However, once they had landed, Mudflap accidentally shot Skids in the face, knocking them off. At [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s command, Devastator continued onto the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]]. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Mudflap first met [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] when they were about to be thrown into a [[smelting pool]]. It was fun! {{Storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

Mudflap and Skids happily stayed on Cybertron, going through intensive training (which ''totally'' wasn't goofing off) and having extreme-sports contests. Neither wanted to leave their homeworld, and they were the only Transformers on it until [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] turned up with [[Purple generic drone|a Decepticon army]]. When they heard him mention a [[Star Harvester]], Mudflap said they should tell someone...but was a bit upset to find out the fastest way to do that would be to leave Cybertron and tell the Autobots in person.

The decision was made for them when the Decepticons attacked. Mudflap took some hits, causing Skids to obliterate the Decepticons responsible, but for the most part, their training paid off. However, he realised they were running out of places to run, so he followed his brother in leaving the plane, with only one course of action remaining: follow the message [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] had beamed into space and head for [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}}

The twins made it to Earth soon, crash-landing in Toronto, Canada. On the way in, Mudflap hit a {{w|CN Tower|big tower}}, and was a bit guilty since he knew how these primitive luddite humans still needed radio waves (the saps). They swam their way to Ball's Falls, where they picked up Earth alternate modes and, Mudflap taking charge, set out to try and find local Autobots and warn them about the Star Harvester.

Driving along the wrong side of the Interstate, the twins were attacked by the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], who pursued them across open countryside, trying to kill them on Starscream's orders. Mudflap transformed and blinded the old Decepticon with a fistful of dirt, which bought the twins some time to find cover. However, the airborne enemy kept up with the twins, and Mudflap lost a chance at cover when he ran back to save his brother. Luckily they were saved by Bumblebee, who attacked and forced Ransack to retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

[[File:Titan2-3 Mudflap face.jpg|right|thumb|Sorry, [[Jon Davis-Hunt|Jon]], at some point you have to draw their ugly mugs.]]

Now living at [[NEST]]'s Californian base with Bumblebee as their minder, Skids and Mudflap repeatedly asked to deliver their info to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]—and only Optimus, much to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]'s annoyance. He was more annoyed when they ambushed him to get to Optimus...who, as it turns out, was away on a need-to-know mission anyway.

After this defeat, and with Ironhide having bluntly told them nobody believed them, they desperately asked to join in a NEST op in [[Las Vegas]]...getting turned down, because they were too crap to get involved. Mudflap almost called their superior a very rude word over this, and after the team had left, he decided they should go to Vegas ''anyway'' to show Ironhide just what they could do! What they could do, it turned out, was screw up a successful mission by freeing [[Grindor (ROTF)|a captured Decepticon]] by trying to "shoot him down". Mudflap was left mortified. Ironhide, recognising what they were trying to do, told him that maybe they could work on training the twins not to jump in without looking, and that the trick was to learn from mistakes. The twins claimed they'd try. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

They soon wished they hadn't, as they were condemned to NEST's [[United Kingdom|Orkney Islands]] base for days of sim-com (simulated combat) training under [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Mudflap agreed with Skids' theory that this was an excuse to keep them away from Optimus, and the whole situation got on his nerves. They both protested to Sideswipe that they could handle Decepticons. Him pointing out their failure with Grindor shut them up. However, the training was interrupted when [[Ravage (ROTF)|a huge metal cat monster]] broke into the base, KOed Sideswipe, and tried to eat the twins!

[[File:Titan4 Mudflapravage.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4| Nice kitty...nice kitty...]]

They transformed and fled, with all attempts at holding it off failing. Mudflap hit on a plan of trapping the creature in the sim-com room and letting the drones shoot it down. He pulled this off, using himself as bait; in the process, he received a communication from [[Soundwave (ROTF)|the monster's master]], who demanded to know what the twins knew about some lost and fallen guy. Mudflap briefly wondered who this dude was, then shrugged and just sprang the trap on Ravage.

With that done, the twins tried to fill in the revived Sideswipe... except the creature had gone, leaving their instructor with the view that ''they'd'' knocked him out in revenge for their training. Between that and Grindor, he thought they were up to something... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

[[File:Titan2-5 twinsHEstartedit.jpg|right|thumb|Even the ''characters'' [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Notes|shift the blame]] over who came up with their dialogue!]]

The twins were later taken to Diego Garcia, and ecstatic to learn Optimus was coming there! Okay, he's only dropping a prisoner off, he's not here to see them and knows nothing about their story, but they ignored all that and drove off when Sideswipe wasn't looking so they could greet the leader. Mudflap squeed over how Optimus would be so proud with ''his'' work! Skids picked up on that and accused his brother of trying to steal the glory, and soon the two of them were having a big fight and slagging match...

And so their first meeting with Optimus Prime was to be yelled at for conduct unbecoming of an Autobot warrior. (See the pic to the side to find out how ''that'' went.)

That was when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] made his attack, blasting at the distracted Prime and moving to free the prisoner [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Mudflap swiftly grabbed a weapon to stop this escape, but Sideways snatched it from his hands and used it himself to cover his retreat. Sideswipe, watching from a distance, believed Mudflap had ''given'' over the weapon, and convinced Prime that the twins were traitors: they must have helped Scorponok get here and now assisted him in his mission, on top of freeing Grindor and attacking him! Mudflap and Skids protested they were being set up because they knew too much, but it fell on deaf ears as they were taken into custody... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

[[File:Titan2-6 aimedatyourheart.jpg|left|thumb|Heart, head, near enough...]]

Following this, the decision was made to exile the twins into orbit. Mudflap and his brother moaned that they should've just ignored the Fallen, but help was at hand... from the Decepticons? Mudflap angrily told [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Decepticon agent Wheelie]] that they didn't ''want'' to be freed by ''him'', but the complaint fell on deaf ears: now the twins looked like even ''bigger'' traitors. The two went underground to clear their names, and hit on the foolproof plan of abducting [[Sam Witwicky]] from his house and pleading with him to tell their story to Optimus. All this did was cause Bumblebee to launch an attack to rescue Sam. Mudflap pleaded with the angry Bumblebee that they weren't traitors, that they had vital info...

...and then [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] gunned down the scout and offered the twins sanctuary in the Decepticons. Nowhere else to go, Mudflap took Soundwave's hand and said he'd never liked Earth anyway... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}

[[File:Titan deceptitwins.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"No offence, Sideways, but you're a boring, stupid, unimportant waste of metal and your mum hates you."]]

Once in the Decepticons, he had fun dissing all the other members as being losers and getting on ''everyone's'' nerve, before Soundwave finally sent them on a mission to bring in a rogue member. Once on Earth again, he was genuinely surprised to find out Skids was only ''pretending'' to defect; his annoyed brother explained the plan was that, since Soundwave would send a minder to watch them, they could ambush their minder and have a prisoner to give to the Autobots.

The rogue member turned out to be Ransack, and Mudflap helped Skids lie to him that the Fallen had sent them. Talking instead of fighting? That annoyed ''both'' of their minders, and they came under attack by Grindor and Sideways! Mudflap was ordered after Sideways, and engaged him in a game of chicken; the Decepticon blinked first and crashed into a tree. He thought this was enough, but Skids was determined that they'd now take the fight to Soundwave himself! (Mudflap's considered response was "YOWZA!") {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[File:Titan2-8 twinsanywaytowelcome.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.95]]

Upon returning to the Phobos base, Mudflap was consulted about having a plan of attack. He decided why bother having plans ''now'', just attack! The twins stormed the base, and Mudflap was able to defeat Ravage by ducking the beast's attacks and planting an electrical bomb on him. However, this success was quickly undone and Mudflap found himself about to be killed by Starscream... but the battle gave Ransack an opening to shoot the Seeker in the back and escape, causing the other Decepticons to chase after him! The twins had ''no'' idea what ''that'' was all about... but this was just a short respite, as the twins discovered just what that army massing on Cybertron had been planning: to arrive at the Phobos base en route to Earth...

The twins stood ready to make their last stand, and Mudflap prepared to take down as many drones as possible... when Optimus arrived with the other Autobots! The twins had been tracked to Phobos and to their shock, the other Autobots had realised they weren't traitors and were even apologising! And with all the street cred of uncovering the Phobos base, the twins were welcomed to the Autobots' Earth division. Skids briefly wondered if they should mention "the ''Fa-''" again, but Mudflap told him they were ''never'' mentioning ''that'' bloody thing again. Whatever happened, [[#Revenge of the Fallen movie|would happen]]... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

After hearing Optimus Prime's call into space for all Autobots, Skids and Mudflap were captured by the Decepticons [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] and [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]] just before reaching Earth. Seeking to perfect some new medical experiments, Flatline tried to forcibly reprogram the brothers' processors, but only succeeded in leaving them addled and confused. Another of Flatline's experiments, the tri-fold biker named [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], helped Skids and Mudflap escape.

The ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]], {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}} The Twins both chose the [[combiner|combined]] form of an old, beat-up ice cream truck. The newly arrived Autobots joined the human-Transformer military alliance [[NEST]] and began training in earnest at [[Diego Garcia]], but soon had to be deployed to [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

Skids and Mudflap were in [[Seattle]] with NEST tracking the Decepticon straggler, [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]]. They helped guide her stolen RV right into Sideswipe's sights, and he then impaled the "girl" in her seat. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

Later, when [[Theodore Galloway]] and his unit were attacked by [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] en route to investigate the mysterious activities of the enigmatic [[Initiative]] at [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots dispatched Skids and Mudflap to Galloway's aid. Together, they held Ransack off until a NEST strike team could arrive and finish him off. The Twins then accompanied Galloway and the soldiers to Hoover Dam, and while the Initiative forces had already cleared out, Skids and Mudflap realized what they had been after: residual energy from the [[AllSpark]] that had been kept there. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} To uncover the Initiative's secret goals, the Autobots soon allied themselves with [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], and followed his lead to the Initiative's base of operations in [[Crater Lake]], [[Oregon]]. Skids and Mudflap were deployed to attack the base from the east; when they were met with resistance in the form of the Initiative's troops, they took them out of the equation by disabling the advanced weaponry they were wielding with precision blasts. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} He and Skids then worked as back-up for Bumblebee's team of cadets in the final battle at Crater Lake. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, the Twins joined Arcee, her sisters, and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. Fearswoop surrendered while the other Decepticons were killed. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

Mudflap and Skids were present at NEST's Washington base during Optimus Prime's conversation with [[Charlotte Mearing]] about the moon landings.

Later, the Twins were among the Autobots charged with escorting [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] to [[NEST]] headquarters for safety when the ancient Autobot revealed himself to be a traitor by killing Ironhide. Skids was next to die, intercepting a shot meant for Bumblebee, sending Mudflap into a rage. He lunged at the turncoat Autobot, seeking revenge for his brother's death, but even his righteous anger could not make him a match for Sentinel, and he too met his ends moments later. Sentinel eulogized him with some degree of respect, remarking that he at least died a death worthy of an Autobot. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation}}

Thankfully, Sam and Bumblebee met with the Autobots, and led them to the correct location. The Decepticons were defeated and the Autobots cheered Sam for his help in the mission. {{storylink|Satellite Meltdown}}

===Toy bios===
Young and eager, Mudflap idolized Optimus Prime and the other great Autobot heroes. He and Skids went to Earth solely in the hope of joining up with their idols, and it was a dream come true for them! {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Mudflap}} In an early mission, however, they found themselves used as guinea pigs for experimental combination technology; trying to ''stay'' combined in their gestalt vehicle mode took up more of their focus than fighting Decepticons! {{storylink|#Icecreamtruck|Autobot Skids and Mudflap (Deluxe Combiner)}}

Skids believes himself to be the "smart one" of the twins, mostly because he is slightly less hyperactive than Mudflap. {{storylink|Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Autobot Skids}} However, he must have impressed the Autobots as later, he was assigned to help Sideswipe take down an empowered [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]]! {{storylink|The Fury of Fearswoop}} Normally, his role was to create diversions. {{storylink|Skids (ROTF)#Robot Replicas|Robot Replicas Skids}}

Mudflap eventually started hanging out with [[Seymour Simmons]], because his bravery that seemed stupid struck a chord with the 'bot! {{storylink|#Human Alliance|''Human Alliance'' Mudflap / Chromia / Seymour Simmons}}

While his daredevil stunts have appeared brainless, the energetic Mudflap remained a true Autobot by being courageous, loyal to the end, and ready to take on the baddest Decepticons yet. {{storylink|#Cyberverse|Cyberverse Mudflap}} While he has quickly become a veteran Autobot soldier, there are days he cannot believe he is battling Decepticons shoulder-to-shoulder with Prime.

*'''Mudflap''' (Legends Class, [[2009]])

: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Mudflap is a simple, affordable small-scale toy. Amusingly, just like his brother Skids, the [[kibble]] on his arm actually works as his big deformed hand, only grossly oversized.

: As with all [[wave]] 3 Legends figures, his on-packaging [[stock photography|stock photo]] shows a mistransformed robot mode, with his abdomen not being extended. Furthermore, the second set of stock photos (which depict a [[:File:ROTF_LegendsMudflap_Lawson.jpg:|pre-production sample]]) shows him lacking several red [[paint operation]]s covering areas of gray plastic in vehicle mode as compared to the final toy.

{{anchor|LawsonsLegend}}
*'''Autobot Set''' (Legends Class multi-pack, 2009)

: Available exclusively at the Lawson's convenience store in Japan (and the only way to obtain this figure via TakaraTomy), the Japanese edition of Legends Class Mudflap, named EZ Collection Mudflap, is identical to the Hasbro release. The Deluxe Class Preview Bumblebee it comes with is also unchanged from the regular release. Preorders opened on the [[May 1|1st of May]] and closed on [[June 30]]th, and the figure itself shipped on the [[October 16|16th of October]]. Although initial publicity photographs indicated that the toy was altered slightly from the US deco (see right), these photographs have proven to be inaccurate, as owners of this toy have reported no discernable differences from the standard US edition.[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/281376-rotf-takara-v-hasbro-comparisons.html]

*'''Mudflap''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-15'''
**''Accessories:'' Smoke-shaped missile

:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class figures, Mudflap transforms into a rust-orange Chevy Trax. He transforms similarly to (but not exactly like) the Deluxe toy of his twin brother, Skids. He also has similar gimmickry; for example, his [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is also activated by pushing in the grill on his chest. This causes some panels in his chest to sway and his head to, uh, headbang. Additional Mech Alive action is engineered into his larger left arm. When his fist folds in towards his wrist, panels on the outside of his forearm spread and reveal a raising, spring-loaded missile launcher. In vehicle mode, this missile is stored through a cross-shaped hole on the rear bumper. On a sadder note, the clip which holds his chest to his back has a lot of trouble actually connecting, so you're going to be stuck with just carefully posing him so that he doesn't come undone. In addition, the wheels can be locked behind his extended kneepads, which shortens and squattens his legs to create a more screen-accurate model.

:Mudflap initially came with a license plate that referenced his car model, "Trax."<ref name="traxplate">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/mudflap/1817/1/21/ ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Mudflap with "TRAX" license plate.]</ref> A [[variant|running change variant]] later enlarged the license plate and changed it to "Mudflap".<ref name="mudflapplate">[http://desmondyoongcollection.blogspot.com/2009/07/hasbro-mudflap-rotf.html ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Mudflap with "MUDFLAP" license plate.]</ref> The Japanese release only featured the later "Mudflap" version, skipping the earlier "Trax" version entirely. Both plates were apparently used for the movie (see notes below).

*'''Autobot Skids And Mudflap''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-20'''

:This two-pack of the twin Autobot brothers can combine into a single, old-fashioned ice cream truck. The vehicle splits in half right down the middle of its chassis (similar to how it does in the film) to create the two small robot forms. Other than the transformation, the toy features no [[gimmick]]s.

:Mudflap's heels are too thick for his feet to fold up properly in vehicle mode, though this can be fixed by trimming them. Mudflap also has a springloaded neck socket...but the reason for it is not all that clear.(the instructions do document it, but the head is not even locked in packed on the card) Also, this toy may be the first Transformer to feature the typeface Comic Sans, which is used to write "MADE FRESH FOR YOU" across both front wheel hubs. But that's on Skids's half, so Mudflap is partly absolved here.

:The ice cream truck features unpainted rust detailing.

:Amusingly, the ice cream truck accommodates [[Human Alliance]] human figures ''really'' well.

*'''Mudflap / [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] / [[Seymour Simmons]]''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: A larger-scale figure, [[Human Alliance]] Mudflap has a very similar transformation to his twin, which is understandable on a canonical level, since they're from the same spark. As usual, Simmons (or any other Human alliance driver figure) can be seated in Mudflap in his vehicle mode, with Mudflap's (still usable) seats ending up on his wrists/arms in robot mode. Simmons can also stand on Mudflap's palms in this mode. Mudflap comes with a transforming figure of [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] as well, which Simmons can ride in her motorbike mode.

: He shares two features with his twin, having a pop-up mini-gun behind his head which a back-mounted Simmons can man, and having a similar action feature for his head: pressing down on an orange piece on his head opens and closes his mouth, simulating a talking motion.

: He also has two unique features: the right seat has a twin-barreled gun molded into the base, and the left seat has a pop-up control panel for Simmons to operate, presumably to control the small [[Retractable string gimmick|grappling hook]] set above Mudflap's left hand, which a small winch can reel out and pull in.

: Unlike most transforming Mudflap figures, he is a more screen-accurate shade of orange red, rather than just a rusty color. Also unlike the other Mudflap figures is the fact that this figure was stocked in much lower numbers, meaning he didn't end up [[Shelfwarmer|shelfwarming]] like the others and ironically ended up being quite rare.

:The toy's name, "Grapple Grip Mudflap", is misspelled as "Grapp'''el''' Grip Mudflap" in various official instances, such as Hasbro's public website<ref name="fabhasbro">Hasbro website entry for FAB "Grappel Grip" Mudflap, [http://web.archive.org/web/20090612230515/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=B237456C-7A23-1014-B596-FBA5EE4D560D&product_id=24286&src=endeca archived version]</ref> [[:File:GrappelGripMudflapEuro.jpg‎|and on]] the toy's [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]]. Presumably this typo didn't get caught by [[quality control]] until very late, so the North American packaging saw the error rectified in time, whereas the entire European production run had already been underway. Then again, [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] "[[Grapple (G1)|Solar Storm Grapp''el'']]" raises the question ''which'' version is officially to be considered the "incorrect" one, and whether the "Grappel" (mis)spelling is in fact intentionally used for [[trademark]] reasons...

*'''Mudflap''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''GB-05'''

: As a [[Gravity Bot]], Mudflap is a very boxy toy featuring no [[articulation]] whatsoever, relying solely on an [[autotransformation]] gimmick. When Mudflap is laid on his back in robot mode, gravity makes him transform into a somewhat [[super deformed]] car, and the process is reversed when the car is stood back up.

: Part of the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[MechTech]] Deluxe Class toys, Mudflap transforms from a black Chevrolet Spark with wide orange stripes into a stumpy robot with big feet. He is a smaller and less articulated, but more stable and <s>movie-accurate</s> comic-accurate figure, and comes with a Blaster that transforms into a Cybertronian Battle Axe when the scope is pulled, though the weapon ''cannot'' be locked in battle axe mode. He features six MechTech ports in total, with two ports on the roof in vehicle mode, one for each of his hands, and one underneath each of his arms.

: Unfortunately, Mudflap suffers from a [[design flaw]]: The connection holding his shoulders and upper arms together is very tight, and trying to swing his upper arms out to the side will occasionally result in the arms popping out of their plastic swivels.

: His weapon was redecoed into the weapon of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]].

==Controversy==
From watching ''Revenge of the Fallen'', it should be pretty obvious that the depiction of the Twins is rooted in racist stereotypes of African-Americans. Their illiteracy in [[Cyberglyphics]] is framed as "never learnin' to read", they speak in an overall stereotypical manner, and are generally shown to not be very clever and quick to violence. Furthermore, compared to the other Autobots (and even fellow black-coded movie Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]), their designs are visibly more hunched and ugly, with disfigured faces and a gold buck tooth on Skids. [[Tales of the Fallen issue 6|One later attempt]] to "smooth over" the problem would reveal that the pair act the way they do due to them being brain damaged, which only exacerbates the issue.

What's unclear is where exactly this imagery originated from: writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] claimed to have been following [[Michael Bay]]'s lead on the character, while Bay stated that it came from a piece of improv by actors [[Tom Kenny]] and [[Reno Wilson]]. Though Kenny, who is white, declined to comment when interviewed, Wilson, who is black, stated that they had been given direction to play the twins as "wannabe gangster types". This was apparently supposed to play off the fact that, as alien robots who had learned human language and culture from the internet, they could not be black, with Wilson likening them to white rappers like {{w|Kevin Federline}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090626132026/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/transformers-jivetalking-_n_220005.html Transformers' Jive-Talking Robots Raise Race Issues - The Huffington Post]</ref> What this means for Jazz, as well as the [[Brains|other]] [[Mohawk|characters]] Wilson has played, is unknown. Whatever the intent, nobody involved seems to want to be tied to the issue. Orci and Kurtzman have attempted to distance themselves from the characters, stating that the stereotypes weren't in their script.<ref>[http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/orci-and-kurtzman-respond-to-claims-of-racism-in-transformers-2.php Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman respond to claims of racism on ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Film School Rejects, June 24, 2009]</ref> For whatever reason, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel, written by Alan Dean Foster and based on Orci and Kurtzman's screenplay, only depicts ''Skids'' as the film-accurate slang-talker, while Mudflap speaks like any other Autobot, albeit with a thick lisp. Meanwhile, [[Simon Furman]]'s ''Revenge of the Fallen'' material has ''both'' of the twins using less slang; presumably, Furman likely did not wish to try his hand at "street".

Whatever the intended direction for the characters, the "wannabe gangster" shtick really doesn't come across in the finished project. [[Robert Epps]], the only prominent black human character in the film, is never shown having anything to say about them, for example. Ultimately, the Twins' portrayal was rightfully deemed pretty disgusting, and the resultant public backlash was likely what led the studio to quietly drop the pair partway into the filming of ''Dark of the Moon''. While their intended role in the film survived into that film's [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|novelization]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic book adaptation]], the Twins are thankfully not present in any future movie stories, and are indeed conspicuous by their absence in the cross-film ''[[Studio Series]]'' toyline.

==Notes==
* The ice cream truck is apparently based on a heavily customized 1930s Chevrolet truck.{{fact|confirmation needed}} [[Ben Procter]] apparently lifted the color scheme and deco for his early concept design for the ice cream truck<ref name="procterrotf">[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=2772 Ben Procter's ROTF concept art at Concept Art World.]</ref> ''directly'' off a photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck that had been added to the Wikipedia article for "ice cream van" in February 2006,<ref name="wikipediaice">{{w|File:Ice_Cream_Truck_Sydney_Australia_-_crop.png|Photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck at Wikipedia, added in February 2006.}}</ref> down to identical placement and design of the fonts and graphics. The details were later slightly tweaked for the final design that can be seen in the movie... but only very slightly so.
*One of the decals on the ice cream truck's side that was created specifically for the movie reads "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] suck my popsicle." Classy. Too bad the toy ''does not have'' this decal. (Because, you know, for kids...)
**A "censored" version of the movie is rumored to exist with the aforementioned text edited out, with the somewhat nonsensical result of "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]]           popsicle". This version was supposedly shown in some theaters even though other theaters in the same market apparently got the uncensored version. The more likely explanation for this would be that different theaters simply used different lightings settings, which effectively rendered the words "suck my" (which were written in dark red on a black backdrop to begin with) invisible, with no actual intention of "censorship" behind it.
[[File:ROTFSmartCarTwinConcept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Yeah, that's not phallic at all.]]
*In the brief scenes that the twins appear in robot mode while still in their ice cream truck-[[kibble]]d robot forms, both have four wheels present due to the redressing of their individual car-based robot CGI models. The wheels are considerably wider than the ones present on the ice cream truck too.
**Also, in the scanning scene, the pair both curl up into a ball and turn into their new vehicle forms in a burst of light, just as Skids did in his transformation mere seconds ago. This is likely due to the pair having very little screentime in those forms meaning proper transformations weren't animated.
*The Twins' final alternate modes in the film, the Chevrolet Beat (Skids) and Chevrolet Trax (Mudflap), were designed by General Motors as small car concept vehicles. At one point in the film's pre-production, another small car, the [[Mercedes-Benz]] {{w|Smart (automobile)|Smart}}, was evidently considered as an option for a film character; concept art of a "third twin" based on it appears in various sections of the ''Revenge'' DVD special features, always in close proximity to concept art of Skids and Mudflap. Whether it was meant to be a third character related to Skids and Mudflap or if it was supposed to be used in place of one of them is unknown. What '''is''' known is that [[Hasbro]] has had great difficultly in the past trying to get likeness licenses from German automakers, which is probably why the vehicle/character was dropped.
*Oddly enough, even though Mudflap's Chevy Trax [[alternate mode]] features big blue "eyes" on his chest and the truck seems to have a similar "face" on its grill that does not appear on his brother (and fellow [[combiner]]) Skids's Chevy Beat form, he makes up the ''back'' of the ice cream truck. He does, however, still have "eyes" on his chest in his ice cream truck form which are created from the rear taillights of the vehicle. This is evidenced in one scene from the movie where they are lit up the color of red.
*In their combined ice cream truck mode, the Twins sport the [[license plate]] "KDM 814". A minor variant of this, "KDM 0814" with an extra "0", was later used for the life-sized Bumblebee prop on various displays from 2009 upuntil at least 2011. For the individual cars, two different sets of license plates were apparently used, either "Trax" and "Beat" referencing their car models or "Mudflap" and "Skids", with the latter two being featured more prominently in the movie (the "BEAT" plate can be seen briefly during the New York City scene, and it's ''possible'' the "TRAX" plate was used for the same scene, although the car's plate is offscreen during that scene). All four plates were auctioned off in October 2009.<ref name="licenseauct">[http://www.icollector.com/Autobots-Skids-and-Mudfap-s-license-plates-from-Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen_i8633012 Mudflap and Skids license plates for auction] at icollector.com</ref> The auction claims that the plates referring to their car models were used in vehicle mode, while those identifying the two Autobots by name were used in robot mode... which is ''directly'' refuted by screencaps from the movie included with the auction, which show the robot name plates on the cars in vehicle mode. Also, the two ''real'' Chevrolet Trax and Beat cars the Twins scan already feature individualized license plates sporting their robot names. Huh.
*Amusingly, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro's Battle Bio] for Mudflap lists his arch-enemy as... [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]]. The Twins' RPMs two-pack is also called "Skids vs Mudflap".
*Despite promotional pictures and most of the merchandise made for Mudflap, in the film he is actually closer to red than orange. The RPM and Human Alliance figures are close to the actual character's colors in the film.
*Much like [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|the previous]] [[Mudflap (Movie)|two Mudflaps]], toys of this character tend to be [[shelfwarmer]]s. Maybe the ''name'' is cursed.
* The Twins were originally supposed to return for ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''. Even though [[General Motors]] provided two Chevrolet Sparks to serve as their alternate modes<ref name="chevyspark">[http://www.leftlanenews.com/chevrolet-spark-transformers-3.html Left Lane News article on two Chevrolet Sparks spotted on the DOTM set], May 2010.</ref> which were still spotted on the set as late as October 2010,<ref name="dcparking">[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2010/10/transformers-3-dc-parking-lot-gallery.html "Transformers 3 DC Parking Lot Gallery"], Transformers Live Action Movie Blog, October 2010.</ref> the two were mostly edited out of the final movie (their vehicle modes can barely be glimpsed in a brief shot). Michael Bay even went so far as to offer a $25,000 reward for anyone who would see the Twins "perform" in the movie.<ref name="reward">[http://collider.com/transformers-3-twins-skids-mudflap-michael-bay/91104/ Collider.com article on Michael Bay's "reward" for spotting Skids and Mudflap "perform" in DOTM], May 2011.</ref> In the novelization and the comic adaptation, Skids and Mudflap still appear.
*Like all non-toy robot [[Kreon]]s in the ''Kre-O'' comics, Mudflap is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Mirage]] helmet... and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Jazz]] door-backpack.
*Mudflap is one of many Autobots featured in Harold Attinger's card deck in Age of Extinction. His card wasn't visible in the movie, but revealed as a part of a prop auction. Oddly enough, he is not labeled as deceased. Considering how adaptations of Dark of the Moon feature Mudflap's death, it is possible that his inclusion in the deck is a continuity error.<ref>[[:File:AOE-Kill-Cards-Set-3.jpg]]</ref>

The goofy-looking '''Mudflap''' and his [[Twins (ROTF)|twin]] [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] are a result of a split spark, and share a close bond accordingly. Mudflap is hyperactive, noisy, argumentative, and eager... not that different from his brother. He's so desperate to impress that he comes off as having the robot equivalent of ADHD.<ref>[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe]]</ref> When they're not trying to outdo each other in crazy, daredevil antics, the twins are usually bickering with each other over anything.

[[File:ROTF-icecreamtruck.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|ICE CREAM!... ICE CREAM!... I'm all out of ICE CREAM!...]]

The twins were first into action for NEST's mission to Shanghai, slowly trundling through the city streets in their ice-cream truck mode and taunting Decepticons in the area to show themselves. Two Decepticons soon did: [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. At NEST's orders, the twins went after the smaller foe and, working with Arcee, managed to herd him into an alleyway. However, their slow, ungainly choice of alternate mode left them unable to keep up with Sideways. While Arcee leapt through a building to pursue the Decepticon, the twins tried to go around the building to catch him. However, the twins inadvertently split apart from one another when they rounded the corner too sharply, thus taking them out of the chase. Mudflap took the blame for the crash, but Skids still berated (and smacked) Mudflap for his failure.
[[File:ROTF Twins truck robot modes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Ben and Jerry?]]
Upon arrival to Diego Garcia and NEST headquarters, the twins were given new, individual alternate forms to make sure another incident like that never happened. Mudflap wanted the Chevy Beat as a vehicle form, but after a brief wrestling match with his brother, he was relegated to the form of the Chevrolet Trax.

Later, the twins, along with the other NEST-allied Autobots, were dispatched to look for [[Sam Witwicky]] when Decepticons were detected heading towards his college. After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was killed by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the twins helped the Autobot force fight off the Decepticon leader and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], allowing Sam, [[Leo Spitz]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to make good their escape. Skids and Mudflap met up with Bumblebee and the humans, and together they fled to a remote location. After the twins teased Leo for a while for his panic attack, Sam inquired whether one of them could interpret the Cybertronic symbols with which he had become obsessed. The twins claimed that they couldn't read the ancient Language of the Primes and weren't much into reading, anyway.

[[File:ROTF movie SkidsMudflap bigmother.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|And this is us when we traveled to...hey, Skids, where did we go again?]]

With the help of the Decepticon [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], the group made their way to the Smithsonian, where the humans reactivated the venerable ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. He teleported them all to [[Egypt]] before telling them the tale of the original [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], the [[Star Harvester]], which had the potential to destroy all life on Earth, and finally, the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the key to activating the harvester and possibly the only thing that could bring Optimus Prime back to life. When the Matrix could not be found at the ruins of [[Petra]], Mudflap questioned why they were helping Sam, wondering what they had done for the Autobots. Skids pointed out that Sam ''had'' killed Megatron, but Mudflap said the point was moot since Megatron was now back. After calling each other "scared" and "ugly" the two began to fight with one another. After damaging the structure and nearly crushing the humans, Bumblebee picked the twins up, bashed them together, and threw them out the door. However, their bickering created a hole in the wall where the [[Tomb of the Primes]] lay, and with it, the Matrix.

[[File:ROTF Devastator Mudflap swallow.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|[[Simon Furman]] would have had a [[Furmanism|field day]] with this scene.]]
Making their way back to the Pyramids where NEST waited with Optimus Prime's body, the group came under attack by Starscream. Mudflap, Skids, Leo and Simmons acted as a decoy to lure the Decepticons away from Sam and Mikaela. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], who [[combiner|combined]] into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and attacked by vacuuming up loose objects such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Hanging on for dear life inside the monster's mouth, he tried to use his "{{w|Kung-Fu grip|kung-fu grip}}", but was sucked further inside, losing his shoulder guards in the process.

[[File:ROTF Mudflap vs Devastator.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"Wait Devastator! You have a bug on your face, let me shoot it for you!"]]
As Skids mourned the loss of his twin, Simmons realized that the safest place to be was directly under the giant. But he had survived being vacuumed up by Devastator, and to escape he had blasted a hole through its head. To buy the humans time to escape, Skids clambered up Devastator's [[Hightower (ROTF)|right forepaw]] to assist Mudflap. Skids threw a cable to Mudflap, who grabbed it and swung off Devastator's head onto his arm. However, once they had landed, Mudflap accidentally shot Skids in the face, knocking them off.

Mudflap and Skids were at the end of an Autobot convoy as the team rolled into the hangar of NEST's [[Washington, D.C.]] base.

Mudflap was later parked next to Sideswipe when Sam arrived at NEST HQ for the first time. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

Mudflap first met [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] when they were about to be thrown into a [[smelting pool]]. It was fun! {{Storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

Mudflap and Skids happily stayed on Cybertron, going through intensive training (which ''totally'' wasn't goofing off) and having extreme-sports contests. Neither wanted to leave their homeworld, and they were the only Transformers on it until [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] turned up with [[Purple generic drone|a Decepticon army]]. When they heard him mention a [[Star Harvester]], Mudflap said they should tell someone...but was a bit upset to find out the fastest way to do that would be to leave Cybertron and tell the Autobots in person.

The decision was made for them when the Decepticons attacked. Mudflap took some hits, causing Skids to obliterate the Decepticons responsible, but for the most part, their training paid off. However, he realised they were running out of places to run, so he followed his brother in leaving the plane, with only one course of action remaining: follow the message [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] had beamed into space and head for [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}}

The twins made it to Earth soon, crash-landing in Toronto, Canada. On the way in, Mudflap hit a {{w|CN Tower|big tower}}, and was a bit guilty since he knew how these primitive luddite humans still needed radio waves (the saps). They swam their way to Ball's Falls, where they picked up Earth alternate modes and, Mudflap taking charge, set out to try and find local Autobots and warn them about the Star Harvester.

Driving along the wrong side of the Interstate, the twins were attacked by the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], who pursued them across open countryside, trying to kill them on Starscream's orders. Mudflap transformed and blinded the old Decepticon with a fistful of dirt, which bought the twins some time to find cover. However, the airborne enemy kept up with the twins, and Mudflap lost a chance at cover when he ran back to save his brother. Luckily they were saved by Bumblebee, who attacked and forced Ransack to retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

[[File:Titan2-3 Mudflap face.jpg|right|thumb|Sorry, [[Jon Davis-Hunt|Jon]], at some point you have to draw their ugly mugs.]]

Now living at [[NEST]]'s Californian base with Bumblebee as their minder, Skids and Mudflap repeatedly asked to deliver their info to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]—and only Optimus, much to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]'s annoyance. He was more annoyed when they ambushed him to get to Optimus...who, as it turns out, was away on a need-to-know mission anyway.

After this defeat, and with Ironhide having bluntly told them nobody believed them, they desperately asked to join in a NEST op in [[Las Vegas]]...getting turned down, because they were too crap to get involved. Mudflap almost called their superior a very rude word over this, and after the team had left, he decided they should go to Vegas ''anyway'' to show Ironhide just what they could do! What they could do, it turned out, was screw up a successful mission by freeing [[Grindor (ROTF)|a captured Decepticon]] by trying to "shoot him down". Mudflap was left mortified. Ironhide, recognising what they were trying to do, told him that maybe they could work on training the twins not to jump in without looking, and that the trick was to learn from mistakes. The twins claimed they'd try. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

They soon wished they hadn't, as they were condemned to NEST's [[United Kingdom|Orkney Islands]] base for days of sim-com (simulated combat) training under [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Mudflap agreed with Skids' theory that this was an excuse to keep them away from Optimus, and the whole situation got on his nerves. They both protested to Sideswipe that they could handle Decepticons. Him pointing out their failure with Grindor shut them up. However, the training was interrupted when [[Ravage (ROTF)|a huge metal cat monster]] broke into the base, KOed Sideswipe, and tried to eat the twins!

[[File:Titan4 Mudflapravage.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4| Nice kitty...nice kitty...]]

They transformed and fled, with all attempts at holding it off failing. Mudflap hit on a plan of trapping the creature in the sim-com room and letting the drones shoot it down. He pulled this off, using himself as bait; in the process, he received a communication from [[Soundwave (ROTF)|the monster's master]], who demanded to know what the twins knew about some lost and fallen guy. Mudflap briefly wondered who this dude was, then shrugged and just sprang the trap on Ravage.

With that done, the twins tried to fill in the revived Sideswipe... except the creature had gone, leaving their instructor with the view that ''they'd'' knocked him out in revenge for their training. Between that and Grindor, he thought they were up to something... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

[[File:Titan2-5 twinsHEstartedit.jpg|right|thumb|Even the ''characters'' [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Notes|shift the blame]] over who came up with their dialogue!]]

The twins were later taken to Diego Garcia, and ecstatic to learn Optimus was coming there! Okay, he's only dropping a prisoner off, he's not here to see them and knows nothing about their story, but they ignored all that and drove off when Sideswipe wasn't looking so they could greet the leader. Mudflap squeed over how Optimus would be so proud with ''his'' work! Skids picked up on that and accused his brother of trying to steal the glory, and soon the two of them were having a big fight and slagging match...

And so their first meeting with Optimus Prime was to be yelled at for conduct unbecoming of an Autobot warrior. (See the pic to the side to find out how ''that'' went.)

That was when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] made his attack, blasting at the distracted Prime and moving to free the prisoner [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Mudflap swiftly grabbed a weapon to stop this escape, but Sideways snatched it from his hands and used it himself to cover his retreat. Sideswipe, watching from a distance, believed Mudflap had ''given'' over the weapon, and convinced Prime that the twins were traitors: they must have helped Scorponok get here and now assisted him in his mission, on top of freeing Grindor and attacking him! Mudflap and Skids protested they were being set up because they knew too much, but it fell on deaf ears as they were taken into custody... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

[[File:Titan2-6 aimedatyourheart.jpg|left|thumb|Heart, head, near enough...]]

Following this, the decision was made to exile the twins into orbit. Mudflap and his brother moaned that they should've just ignored the Fallen, but help was at hand... from the Decepticons? Mudflap angrily told [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Decepticon agent Wheelie]] that they didn't ''want'' to be freed by ''him'', but the complaint fell on deaf ears: now the twins looked like even ''bigger'' traitors. The two went underground to clear their names, and hit on the foolproof plan of abducting [[Sam Witwicky]] from his house and pleading with him to tell their story to Optimus. All this did was cause Bumblebee to launch an attack to rescue Sam. Mudflap pleaded with the angry Bumblebee that they weren't traitors, that they had vital info...

...and then [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] gunned down the scout and offered the twins sanctuary in the Decepticons. Nowhere else to go, Mudflap took Soundwave's hand and said he'd never liked Earth anyway... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}

[[File:Titan deceptitwins.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"No offence, Sideways, but you're a boring, stupid, unimportant waste of metal and your mum hates you."]]

Once in the Decepticons, he had fun dissing all the other members as being losers and getting on ''everyone's'' nerve, before Soundwave finally sent them on a mission to bring in a rogue member. Once on Earth again, he was genuinely surprised to find out Skids was only ''pretending'' to defect; his annoyed brother explained the plan was that, since Soundwave would send a minder to watch them, they could ambush their minder and have a prisoner to give to the Autobots.

The rogue member turned out to be Ransack, and Mudflap helped Skids lie to him that the Fallen had sent them. Talking instead of fighting? That annoyed ''both'' of their minders, and they came under attack by Grindor and Sideways! Mudflap was ordered after Sideways, and engaged him in a game of chicken; the Decepticon blinked first and crashed into a tree. He thought this was enough, but Skids was determined that they'd now take the fight to Soundwave himself! (Mudflap's considered response was "YOWZA!") {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[File:Titan2-8 twinsanywaytowelcome.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.95]]

Upon returning to the Phobos base, Mudflap was consulted about having a plan of attack. He decided why bother having plans ''now'', just attack! The twins stormed the base, and Mudflap was able to defeat Ravage by ducking the beast's attacks and planting an electrical bomb on him. However, this success was quickly undone and Mudflap found himself about to be killed by Starscream... but the battle gave Ransack an opening to shoot the Seeker in the back and escape, causing the other Decepticons to chase after him! The twins had ''no'' idea what ''that'' was all about... but this was just a short respite, as the twins discovered just what that army massing on Cybertron had been planning: to arrive at the Phobos base en route to Earth...

The twins stood ready to make their last stand, and Mudflap prepared to take down as many drones as possible... when Optimus arrived with the other Autobots! The twins had been tracked to Phobos and to their shock, the other Autobots had realised they weren't traitors and were even apologising! And with all the street cred of uncovering the Phobos base, the twins were welcomed to the Autobots' Earth division. Skids briefly wondered if they should mention "the ''Fa-''" again, but Mudflap told him they were ''never'' mentioning ''that'' bloody thing again. Whatever happened, [[#Revenge of the Fallen movie|would happen]]... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

After hearing Optimus Prime's call into space for all Autobots, Skids and Mudflap were captured by the Decepticons [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] and [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]] just before reaching Earth. Seeking to perfect some new medical experiments, Flatline tried to forcibly reprogram the brothers' processors, but only succeeded in leaving them addled and confused. Another of Flatline's experiments, the tri-fold biker named [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], helped Skids and Mudflap escape.

The newly arrived Autobots joined the human-Transformer military alliance [[NEST]] and began training in earnest at [[Diego Garcia]], but soon had to be deployed to [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

Skids and Mudflap were in [[Seattle]] with NEST tracking the Decepticon straggler, [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]]. They helped guide her stolen RV right into Sideswipe's sights, and he then impaled the "girl" in her seat. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

Later, when [[Theodore Galloway]] and his unit were attacked by [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] en route to investigate the mysterious activities of the enigmatic [[Initiative]] at [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots dispatched Skids and Mudflap to Galloway's aid. Together, they held Ransack off until a NEST strike team could arrive and finish him off. The Twins then accompanied Galloway and the soldiers to Hoover Dam, and while the Initiative forces had already cleared out, Skids and Mudflap realized what they had been after: residual energy from the [[AllSpark]] that had been kept there. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} To uncover the Initiative's secret goals, the Autobots soon allied themselves with [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], and followed his lead to the Initiative's base of operations in [[Crater Lake]], [[Oregon]]. Skids and Mudflap were deployed to attack the base from the east; when they were met with resistance in the form of the Initiative's troops, they took them out of the equation by disabling the advanced weaponry they were wielding with precision blasts. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} He and Skids then worked as back-up for Bumblebee's team of cadets in the final battle at Crater Lake. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

Mudflap and Skids were present at NEST's Washington base during Optimus Prime's conversation with [[Charlotte Mearing]] about the moon landings.

Later, the Twins were among the Autobots charged with escorting [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] to [[NEST]] headquarters for safety when the ancient Autobot revealed himself to be a traitor by killing Ironhide. Skids was next to die, intercepting a shot meant for Bumblebee, sending Mudflap into a rage. He lunged at the turncoat Autobot, seeking revenge for his brother's death, but even his righteous anger could not make him a match for Sentinel, and he too met his ends moments later. Sentinel eulogized him with some degree of respect, remarking that he at least died a death worthy of an Autobot. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation}}

The Decepticons were defeated and the Autobots cheered Sam for his help in the mission. {{storylink|Satellite Meltdown}}

===Toy bios===
Young and eager, Mudflap idolized Optimus Prime and the other great Autobot heroes. He and Skids went to Earth solely in the hope of joining up with their idols, and it was a dream come true for them! {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Mudflap}} In an early mission, however, they found themselves used as guinea pigs for experimental combination technology; trying to ''stay'' combined in their gestalt vehicle mode took up more of their focus than fighting Decepticons! {{storylink|#Icecreamtruck|Autobot Skids and Mudflap (Deluxe Combiner)}}

Skids believes himself to be the "smart one" of the twins, mostly because he is slightly less hyperactive than Mudflap. {{storylink|Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Autobot Skids}} However, he must have impressed the Autobots as later, he was assigned to help Sideswipe take down an empowered [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]]! {{storylink|The Fury of Fearswoop}} Normally, his role was to create diversions. {{storylink|Skids (ROTF)#Robot Replicas|Robot Replicas Skids}}

Mudflap eventually started hanging out with [[Seymour Simmons]], because his bravery that seemed stupid struck a chord with the 'bot! {{storylink|#Human Alliance|''Human Alliance'' Mudflap / Chromia / Seymour Simmons}}

*'''Mudflap''' (Legends Class, [[2009]])

: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Mudflap is a simple, affordable small-scale toy. Amusingly, just like his brother Skids, the [[kibble]] on his arm actually works as his big deformed hand, only grossly oversized.

: As with all [[wave]] 3 Legends figures, his on-packaging [[stock photography|stock photo]] shows a mistransformed robot mode, with his abdomen not being extended. Furthermore, the second set of stock photos (which depict a [[:File:ROTF_LegendsMudflap_Lawson.jpg:|pre-production sample]]) shows him lacking several red [[paint operation]]s covering areas of gray plastic in vehicle mode as compared to the final toy.

{{anchor|LawsonsLegend}}
*'''Autobot Set''' (Legends Class multi-pack, 2009)

: Available exclusively at the Lawson's convenience store in Japan (and the only way to obtain this figure via TakaraTomy), the Japanese edition of Legends Class Mudflap, named EZ Collection Mudflap, is identical to the Hasbro release. The Deluxe Class Preview Bumblebee it comes with is also unchanged from the regular release. Preorders opened on the [[May 1|1st of May]] and closed on [[June 30]]th, and the figure itself shipped on the [[October 16|16th of October]]. Although initial publicity photographs indicated that the toy was altered slightly from the US deco (see right), these photographs have proven to be inaccurate, as owners of this toy have reported no discernable differences from the standard US edition.[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/281376-rotf-takara-v-hasbro-comparisons.html]

*'''Mudflap''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-15'''
**''Accessories:'' Smoke-shaped missile

:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class figures, Mudflap transforms into a rust-orange Chevy Trax. He transforms similarly to (but not exactly like) the Deluxe toy of his twin brother, Skids. He also has similar gimmickry; for example, his [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is also activated by pushing in the grill on his chest. This causes some panels in his chest to sway and his head to, uh, headbang. Additional Mech Alive action is engineered into his larger left arm. When his fist folds in towards his wrist, panels on the outside of his forearm spread and reveal a raising, spring-loaded missile launcher. In vehicle mode, this missile is stored through a cross-shaped hole on the rear bumper. On a sadder note, the clip which holds his chest to his back has a lot of trouble actually connecting, so you're going to be stuck with just carefully posing him so that he doesn't come undone. In addition, the wheels can be locked behind his extended kneepads, which shortens and squattens his legs to create a more screen-accurate model.

:Mudflap initially came with a license plate that referenced his car model, "Trax."<ref name="traxplate">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/mudflap/1817/1/21/ ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Mudflap with "TRAX" license plate.]</ref> A [[variant|running change variant]] later enlarged the license plate and changed it to "Mudflap".<ref name="mudflapplate">[http://desmondyoongcollection.blogspot.com/2009/07/hasbro-mudflap-rotf.html ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Mudflap with "MUDFLAP" license plate.]</ref> The Japanese release only featured the later "Mudflap" version, skipping the earlier "Trax" version entirely.

*'''Autobot Skids And Mudflap''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-20'''

:This two-pack of the twin Autobot brothers can combine into a single, old-fashioned ice cream truck. The vehicle splits in half right down the middle of its chassis (similar to how it does in the film) to create the two small robot forms. Other than the transformation, the toy features no [[gimmick]]s.

:Mudflap's heels are too thick for his feet to fold up properly in vehicle mode, though this can be fixed by trimming them. Mudflap also has a springloaded neck socket...but the reason for it is not all that clear.(the instructions do document it, but the head is not even locked in packed on the card) Also, this toy may be the first Transformer to feature the typeface Comic Sans, which is used to write "MADE FRESH FOR YOU" across both front wheel hubs. But that's on Skids's half, so Mudflap is partly absolved here.

:The ice cream truck features unpainted rust detailing.

:Amusingly, the ice cream truck accommodates [[Human Alliance]] human figures ''really'' well.

:A redeco of original Deluxe Class Mudflap, his doors are painted with "tuner" racing stripes and the plastic is a different shade of orange. The windows are now translucent blue. His feet are now properly assembled.

:Like his [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|many]] [[Mudflap (Movie)|predecessors]], he is a notorious [[shelfwarmer]].

:In an effort to make them more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]], the twins in this set have additional decals for you to put on (save for the "suck my popsicle" slogan) and painted rust and "Caution Children" for the ice cream truck mode.

*'''Mudflap / [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] / [[Seymour Simmons]]''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: A larger-scale figure, [[Human Alliance]] Mudflap has a very similar transformation to his twin, which is understandable on a canonical level, since they're from the same spark. As usual, Simmons (or any other Human alliance driver figure) can be seated in Mudflap in his vehicle mode, with Mudflap's (still usable) seats ending up on his wrists/arms in robot mode. Simmons can also stand on Mudflap's palms in this mode. Mudflap comes with a transforming figure of [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] as well, which Simmons can ride in her motorbike mode.

: He shares two features with his twin, having a pop-up mini-gun behind his head which a back-mounted Simmons can man, and having a similar action feature for his head: pressing down on an orange piece on his head opens and closes his mouth, simulating a talking motion.

: He also has two unique features: the right seat has a twin-barreled gun molded into the base, and the left seat has a pop-up control panel for Simmons to operate, presumably to control the small [[Retractable string gimmick|grappling hook]] set above Mudflap's left hand, which a small winch can reel out and pull in.

: Unlike most transforming Mudflap figures, he is a more screen-accurate shade of orange red, rather than just a rusty color. Also unlike the other Mudflap figures is the fact that this figure was stocked in much lower numbers, meaning he didn't end up [[Shelfwarmer|shelfwarming]] like the others and ironically ended up being quite rare.

:''[[Fast Action Battlers]]'' Mudflap has a simplified transformation for younger buyers. His left hand's middle finger can be extended (yes, ha ha) on a rope to function as a grappling hook.

:The toy's name, "Grapple Grip Mudflap", is misspelled as "Grapp'''el''' Grip Mudflap" in various official instances, such as Hasbro's public website<ref name="fabhasbro">Hasbro website entry for FAB "Grappel Grip" Mudflap, [http://web.archive.org/web/20090612230515/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=B237456C-7A23-1014-B596-FBA5EE4D560D&product_id=24286&src=endeca archived version]</ref> [[:File:GrappelGripMudflapEuro.jpg‎|and on]] the toy's [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]].

Then again, [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] "[[Grapple (G1)|Solar Storm Grapp''el'']]" raises the question ''which'' version is officially to be considered the "incorrect" one, and whether the "Grappel" (mis)spelling is in fact intentionally used for [[trademark]] reasons...

:This figure was only available in a two-pack alongside [[Skids (ROTF)#FAB2Pack|Offroad Skids]].

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''GB-05'''

: As a [[Gravity Bot]], Mudflap is a very boxy toy featuring no [[articulation]] whatsoever, relying solely on an [[autotransformation]] gimmick. When Mudflap is laid on his back in robot mode, gravity makes him transform into a somewhat [[super deformed]] car, and the process is reversed when the car is stood back up.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''DA19'''
**''Accessories:'' Mechtech Blaster/Cybertronian Battle [[Axe (weapon)|Axe]]

: Part of the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[MechTech]] Deluxe Class toys, Mudflap transforms from a black Chevrolet Spark with wide orange stripes into a stumpy robot with big feet. He is a smaller and less articulated, but more stable and <s>movie-accurate</s> comic-accurate figure, and comes with a Blaster that transforms into a Cybertronian Battle Axe when the scope is pulled, though the weapon ''cannot'' be locked in battle axe mode. He features six MechTech ports in total, with two ports on the roof in vehicle mode, one for each of his hands, and one underneath each of his arms.

: Unfortunately, Mudflap suffers from a [[design flaw]]: The connection holding his shoulders and upper arms together is very tight, and trying to swing his upper arms out to the side will occasionally result in the arms popping out of their plastic swivels.

: His weapon was redecoed into the weapon of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]].

==Controversy==
From watching ''Revenge of the Fallen'', it should be pretty obvious that the depiction of the Twins is rooted in racist stereotypes of African-Americans. Their illiteracy in [[Cyberglyphics]] is framed as "never learnin' to read", they speak in an overall stereotypical manner, and are generally shown to not be very clever and quick to violence. Furthermore, compared to the other Autobots (and even fellow black-coded movie Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]), their designs are visibly more hunched and ugly, with disfigured faces and a gold buck tooth on Skids. [[Tales of the Fallen issue 6|One later attempt]] to "smooth over" the problem would reveal that the pair act the way they do due to them being brain damaged, which only exacerbates the issue.

What's unclear is where exactly this imagery originated from: writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] claimed to have been following [[Michael Bay]]'s lead on the character, while Bay stated that it came from a piece of improv by actors [[Tom Kenny]] and [[Reno Wilson]]. Though Kenny, who is white, declined to comment when interviewed, Wilson, who is black, stated that they had been given direction to play the twins as "wannabe gangster types". This was apparently supposed to play off the fact that, as alien robots who had learned human language and culture from the internet, they could not be black, with Wilson likening them to white rappers like {{w|Kevin Federline}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090626132026/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/transformers-jivetalking-_n_220005.html Transformers' Jive-Talking Robots Raise Race Issues - The Huffington Post]</ref> What this means for Jazz, as well as the [[Brains|other]] [[Mohawk|characters]] Wilson has played, is unknown. Whatever the intent, nobody involved seems to want to be tied to the issue. Orci and Kurtzman have attempted to distance themselves from the characters, stating that the stereotypes weren't in their script.<ref>[http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/orci-and-kurtzman-respond-to-claims-of-racism-in-transformers-2.php Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman respond to claims of racism on ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Film School Rejects, June 24, 2009]</ref> For whatever reason, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel, written by Alan Dean Foster and based on Orci and Kurtzman's screenplay, only depicts ''Skids'' as the film-accurate slang-talker, while Mudflap speaks like any other Autobot, albeit with a thick lisp. Meanwhile, [[Simon Furman]]'s ''Revenge of the Fallen'' material has ''both'' of the twins using less slang; presumably, Furman likely did not wish to try his hand at "street".

Whatever the intended direction for the characters, the "wannabe gangster" shtick really doesn't come across in the finished project. [[Robert Epps]], the only prominent black human character in the film, is never shown having anything to say about them, for example. Ultimately, the Twins' portrayal was rightfully deemed pretty disgusting, and the resultant public backlash was likely what led the studio to quietly drop the pair partway into the filming of ''Dark of the Moon''. While their intended role in the film survived into that film's [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|novelization]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic book adaptation]], the Twins are thankfully not present in any future movie stories, and are indeed conspicuous by their absence in the cross-film ''[[Studio Series]]'' toyline.

==Notes==
* The ice cream truck is apparently based on a heavily customized 1930s Chevrolet truck.{{fact|confirmation needed}} [[Ben Procter]] apparently lifted the color scheme and deco for his early concept design for the ice cream truck<ref name="procterrotf">[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=2772 Ben Procter's ROTF concept art at Concept Art World.]</ref> ''directly'' off a photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck that had been added to the Wikipedia article for "ice cream van" in February 2006,<ref name="wikipediaice">{{w|File:Ice_Cream_Truck_Sydney_Australia_-_crop.png|Photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck at Wikipedia, added in February 2006.}}</ref> down to identical placement and design of the fonts and graphics. The details were later slightly tweaked for the final design that can be seen in the movie... but only very slightly so.
*One of the decals on the ice cream truck's side that was created specifically for the movie reads "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] suck my popsicle." Classy. Too bad the toy ''does not have'' this decal. (Because, you know, for kids...)
**A "censored" version of the movie is rumored to exist with the aforementioned text edited out, with the somewhat nonsensical result of "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]]           popsicle". This version was supposedly shown in some theaters even though other theaters in the same market apparently got the uncensored version. The more likely explanation for this would be that different theaters simply used different lightings settings, which effectively rendered the words "suck my" (which were written in dark red on a black backdrop to begin with) invisible, with no actual intention of "censorship" behind it.
[[File:ROTFSmartCarTwinConcept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Yeah, that's not phallic at all.]]
*In the brief scenes that the twins appear in robot mode while still in their ice cream truck-[[kibble]]d robot forms, both have four wheels present due to the redressing of their individual car-based robot CGI models. The wheels are considerably wider than the ones present on the ice cream truck too.
**Also, in the scanning scene, the pair both curl up into a ball and turn into their new vehicle forms in a burst of light, just as Skids did in his transformation mere seconds ago. This is likely due to the pair having very little screentime in those forms meaning proper transformations weren't animated.
*The Twins' final alternate modes in the film, the Chevrolet Beat (Skids) and Chevrolet Trax (Mudflap), were designed by General Motors as small car concept vehicles. At one point in the film's pre-production, another small car, the [[Mercedes-Benz]] {{w|Smart (automobile)|Smart}}, was evidently considered as an option for a film character; concept art of a "third twin" based on it appears in various sections of the ''Revenge'' DVD special features, always in close proximity to concept art of Skids and Mudflap. Whether it was meant to be a third character related to Skids and Mudflap or if it was supposed to be used in place of one of them is unknown. What '''is''' known is that [[Hasbro]] has had great difficultly in the past trying to get likeness licenses from German automakers, which is probably why the vehicle/character was dropped.
*Oddly enough, even though Mudflap's Chevy Trax [[alternate mode]] features big blue "eyes" on his chest and the truck seems to have a similar "face" on its grill that does not appear on his brother (and fellow [[combiner]]) Skids's Chevy Beat form, he makes up the ''back'' of the ice cream truck. He does, however, still have "eyes" on his chest in his ice cream truck form which are created from the rear taillights of the vehicle. This is evidenced in one scene from the movie where they are lit up the color of red.
*In their combined ice cream truck mode, the Twins sport the [[license plate]] "KDM 814". A minor variant of this, "KDM 0814" with an extra "0", was later used for the life-sized Bumblebee prop on various displays from 2009 upuntil at least 2011. For the individual cars, two different sets of license plates were apparently used, either "Trax" and "Beat" referencing their car models or "Mudflap" and "Skids", with the latter two being featured more prominently in the movie (the "BEAT" plate can be seen briefly during the New York City scene, and it's ''possible'' the "TRAX" plate was used for the same scene, although the car's plate is offscreen during that scene). All four plates were auctioned off in October 2009.<ref name="licenseauct">[http://www.icollector.com/Autobots-Skids-and-Mudfap-s-license-plates-from-Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen_i8633012 Mudflap and Skids license plates for auction] at icollector.com</ref> The auction claims that the plates referring to their car models were used in vehicle mode, while those identifying the two Autobots by name were used in robot mode... which is ''directly'' refuted by screencaps from the movie included with the auction, which show the robot name plates on the cars in vehicle mode. Also, the two ''real'' Chevrolet Trax and Beat cars the Twins scan already feature individualized license plates sporting their robot names. Huh.
*Amusingly, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro's Battle Bio] for Mudflap lists his arch-enemy as... [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]]. The Twins' RPMs two-pack is also called "Skids vs Mudflap".
*Despite promotional pictures and most of the merchandise made for Mudflap, in the film he is actually closer to red than orange. The RPM and Human Alliance figures are close to the actual character's colors in the film.
*Much like [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|the previous]] [[Mudflap (Movie)|two Mudflaps]], toys of this character tend to be [[shelfwarmer]]s. Maybe the ''name'' is cursed.
* The Twins were originally supposed to return for ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''. Even though [[General Motors]] provided two Chevrolet Sparks to serve as their alternate modes<ref name="chevyspark">[http://www.leftlanenews.com/chevrolet-spark-transformers-3.html Left Lane News article on two Chevrolet Sparks spotted on the DOTM set], May 2010.</ref> which were still spotted on the set as late as October 2010,<ref name="dcparking">[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2010/10/transformers-3-dc-parking-lot-gallery.html "Transformers 3 DC Parking Lot Gallery"], Transformers Live Action Movie Blog, October 2010.</ref> the two were mostly edited out of the final movie (their vehicle modes can barely be glimpsed in a brief shot). Michael Bay even went so far as to offer a $25,000 reward for anyone who would see the Twins "perform" in the movie.<ref name="reward">[http://collider.com/transformers-3-twins-skids-mudflap-michael-bay/91104/ Collider.com article on Michael Bay's "reward" for spotting Skids and Mudflap "perform" in DOTM], May 2011.</ref> In the novelization and the comic adaptation, Skids and Mudflap still appear.
*Like all non-toy robot [[Kreon]]s in the ''Kre-O'' comics, Mudflap is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Mirage]] helmet... and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Jazz]] door-backpack.
*Mudflap is one of many Autobots featured in Harold Attinger's card deck in Age of Extinction. His card wasn't visible in the movie, but revealed as a part of a prop auction. Oddly enough, he is not labeled as deceased. Considering how adaptations of Dark of the Moon feature Mudflap's death, it is possible that his inclusion in the deck is a continuity error.<ref>[[:File:AOE-Kill-Cards-Set-3.jpg]]</ref>

The goofy-looking '''Mudflap''' and his [[Twins (ROTF)|twin]] [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] are a result of a split spark, and share a close bond accordingly. Mudflap is hyperactive, noisy, argumentative, and eager... not that different from his brother.

Each twin can transform into smaller, separate vehicles or combine into a single, more durable alternate mode.<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Skids Profile, Transformers #1 (Titan, Vol.2)]]—greatly expanded from his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe]]'' bio</ref> Upon first arriving on [[Earth]], Mudflap and his brother took the form of a beat-up old ice cream truck, but he later [[Scanning|scanned]] a {{w|Chevrolet Trax (concept car)|Chevrolet Trax}} for a disguise, and, sometime after that, a {{w|Chevrolet_Spark#M300|Chevrolet Spark}}. That being said, it's unlikely the twins will keep an alt-mode for long.

[[File:ROTF-icecreamtruck.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|ICE CREAM!... ICE CREAM!... I'm all out of ICE CREAM!...]]

The twins were first into action for NEST's mission to Shanghai, slowly trundling through the city streets in their ice-cream truck mode and taunting Decepticons in the area to show themselves. Two Decepticons soon did: [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. At NEST's orders, the twins went after the smaller foe and, working with Arcee, managed to herd him into an alleyway. However, their slow, ungainly choice of alternate mode left them unable to keep up with Sideways. While Arcee leapt through a building to pursue the Decepticon, the twins tried to go around the building to catch him. However, the twins inadvertently split apart from one another when they rounded the corner too sharply, thus taking them out of the chase. Mudflap took the blame for the crash, but Skids still berated (and smacked) Mudflap for his failure.
[[File:ROTF Twins truck robot modes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Ben and Jerry?]]
Upon arrival to Diego Garcia and NEST headquarters, the twins were given new, individual alternate forms to make sure another incident like that never happened. Mudflap wanted the Chevy Beat as a vehicle form, but after a brief wrestling match with his brother, he was relegated to the form of the Chevrolet Trax.

Later, the twins, along with the other NEST-allied Autobots, were dispatched to look for [[Sam Witwicky]] when Decepticons were detected heading towards his college. After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was killed by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the twins helped the Autobot force fight off the Decepticon leader and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], allowing Sam, [[Leo Spitz]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to make good their escape. Skids and Mudflap met up with Bumblebee and the humans, and together they fled to a remote location. After the twins teased Leo for a while for his panic attack, Sam inquired whether one of them could interpret the Cybertronic symbols with which he had become obsessed. The twins claimed that they couldn't read the ancient Language of the Primes and weren't much into reading, anyway.

[[File:ROTF movie SkidsMudflap bigmother.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|And this is us when we traveled to...hey, Skids, where did we go again?]]

With the help of the Decepticon [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], the group made their way to the Smithsonian, where the humans reactivated the venerable ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. He teleported them all to [[Egypt]] before telling them the tale of the original [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], the [[Star Harvester]], which had the potential to destroy all life on Earth, and finally, the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the key to activating the harvester and possibly the only thing that could bring Optimus Prime back to life. When the Matrix could not be found at the ruins of [[Petra]], Mudflap questioned why they were helping Sam, wondering what they had done for the Autobots. Skids pointed out that Sam ''had'' killed Megatron, but Mudflap said the point was moot since Megatron was now back. After calling each other "scared" and "ugly" the two began to fight with one another. After damaging the structure and nearly crushing the humans, Bumblebee picked the twins up, bashed them together, and threw them out the door. However, their bickering created a hole in the wall where the [[Tomb of the Primes]] lay, and with it, the Matrix.

[[File:ROTF Devastator Mudflap swallow.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|[[Simon Furman]] would have had a [[Furmanism|field day]] with this scene.]]
Making their way back to the Pyramids where NEST waited with Optimus Prime's body, the group came under attack by Starscream. Mudflap, Skids, Leo and Simmons acted as a decoy to lure the Decepticons away from Sam and Mikaela. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], who [[combiner|combined]] into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and attacked by vacuuming up loose objects such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Hanging on for dear life inside the monster's mouth, he tried to use his "{{w|Kung-Fu grip|kung-fu grip}}", but was sucked further inside, losing his shoulder guards in the process.

[[File:ROTF Mudflap vs Devastator.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"Wait Devastator! You have a bug on your face, let me shoot it for you!"]]
As Skids mourned the loss of his twin, Simmons realized that the safest place to be was directly under the giant. But he had survived being vacuumed up by Devastator, and to escape he had blasted a hole through its head. To buy the humans time to escape, Skids clambered up Devastator's [[Hightower (ROTF)|right forepaw]] to assist Mudflap. Skids threw a cable to Mudflap, who grabbed it and swung off Devastator's head onto his arm. However, once they had landed, Mudflap accidentally shot Skids in the face, knocking them off. At [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s command, Devastator continued onto the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]]. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Mudflap was later parked next to Sideswipe when Sam arrived at NEST HQ for the first time. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[File:Titan2-1 Mudflap.jpg|left|thumb|Quick! We have to get to auditions before the cool characters!]]

Sometimes, he has a small forcefield in vehicle mode. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

Mudflap first met [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] when they were about to be thrown into a [[smelting pool]]. It was fun! {{Storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

Mudflap and Skids happily stayed on Cybertron, going through intensive training (which ''totally'' wasn't goofing off) and having extreme-sports contests. Neither wanted to leave their homeworld, and they were the only Transformers on it until [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] turned up with [[Purple generic drone|a Decepticon army]]. When they heard him mention a [[Star Harvester]], Mudflap said they should tell someone...but was a bit upset to find out the fastest way to do that would be to leave Cybertron and tell the Autobots in person.

The decision was made for them when the Decepticons attacked. Mudflap took some hits, causing Skids to obliterate the Decepticons responsible, but for the most part, their training paid off. However, he realised they were running out of places to run, so he followed his brother in leaving the plane, with only one course of action remaining: follow the message [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] had beamed into space and head for [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}}

The twins made it to Earth soon, crash-landing in Toronto, Canada. On the way in, Mudflap hit a {{w|CN Tower|big tower}}, and was a bit guilty since he knew how these primitive luddite humans still needed radio waves (the saps). They swam their way to Ball's Falls, where they picked up Earth alternate modes and, Mudflap taking charge, set out to try and find local Autobots and warn them about the Star Harvester.

Driving along the wrong side of the Interstate, the twins were attacked by the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], who pursued them across open countryside, trying to kill them on Starscream's orders. Mudflap transformed and blinded the old Decepticon with a fistful of dirt, which bought the twins some time to find cover. However, the airborne enemy kept up with the twins, and Mudflap lost a chance at cover when he ran back to save his brother. Luckily they were saved by Bumblebee, who attacked and forced Ransack to retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

[[File:Titan2-3 Mudflap face.jpg|right|thumb|Sorry, [[Jon Davis-Hunt|Jon]], at some point you have to draw their ugly mugs.]]

Now living at [[NEST]]'s Californian base with Bumblebee as their minder, Skids and Mudflap repeatedly asked to deliver their info to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]—and only Optimus, much to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]'s annoyance. He was more annoyed when they ambushed him to get to Optimus...who, as it turns out, was away on a need-to-know mission anyway.

After this defeat, and with Ironhide having bluntly told them nobody believed them, they desperately asked to join in a NEST op in [[Las Vegas]]...getting turned down, because they were too crap to get involved. Mudflap almost called their superior a very rude word over this, and after the team had left, he decided they should go to Vegas ''anyway'' to show Ironhide just what they could do! What they could do, it turned out, was screw up a successful mission by freeing [[Grindor (ROTF)|a captured Decepticon]] by trying to "shoot him down". Mudflap was left mortified. Ironhide, recognising what they were trying to do, told him that maybe they could work on training the twins not to jump in without looking, and that the trick was to learn from mistakes. The twins claimed they'd try. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

They soon wished they hadn't, as they were condemned to NEST's [[United Kingdom|Orkney Islands]] base for days of sim-com (simulated combat) training under [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Mudflap agreed with Skids' theory that this was an excuse to keep them away from Optimus, and the whole situation got on his nerves. They both protested to Sideswipe that they could handle Decepticons. Him pointing out their failure with Grindor shut them up. However, the training was interrupted when [[Ravage (ROTF)|a huge metal cat monster]] broke into the base, KOed Sideswipe, and tried to eat the twins!

[[File:Titan4 Mudflapravage.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4| Nice kitty...nice kitty...]]

They transformed and fled, with all attempts at holding it off failing. Mudflap hit on a plan of trapping the creature in the sim-com room and letting the drones shoot it down. He pulled this off, using himself as bait; in the process, he received a communication from [[Soundwave (ROTF)|the monster's master]], who demanded to know what the twins knew about some lost and fallen guy. Mudflap briefly wondered who this dude was, then shrugged and just sprang the trap on Ravage.

With that done, the twins tried to fill in the revived Sideswipe... except the creature had gone, leaving their instructor with the view that ''they'd'' knocked him out in revenge for their training. Between that and Grindor, he thought they were up to something... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

[[File:Titan2-5 twinsHEstartedit.jpg|right|thumb|Even the ''characters'' [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Notes|shift the blame]] over who came up with their dialogue!]]

The twins were later taken to Diego Garcia, and ecstatic to learn Optimus was coming there! Okay, he's only dropping a prisoner off, he's not here to see them and knows nothing about their story, but they ignored all that and drove off when Sideswipe wasn't looking so they could greet the leader. Mudflap squeed over how Optimus would be so proud with ''his'' work! Skids picked up on that and accused his brother of trying to steal the glory, and soon the two of them were having a big fight and slagging match...

And so their first meeting with Optimus Prime was to be yelled at for conduct unbecoming of an Autobot warrior. (See the pic to the side to find out how ''that'' went.)

That was when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] made his attack, blasting at the distracted Prime and moving to free the prisoner [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Mudflap swiftly grabbed a weapon to stop this escape, but Sideways snatched it from his hands and used it himself to cover his retreat. Sideswipe, watching from a distance, believed Mudflap had ''given'' over the weapon, and convinced Prime that the twins were traitors: they must have helped Scorponok get here and now assisted him in his mission, on top of freeing Grindor and attacking him! Mudflap and Skids protested they were being set up because they knew too much, but it fell on deaf ears as they were taken into custody... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

[[File:Titan2-6 aimedatyourheart.jpg|left|thumb|Heart, head, near enough...]]

Following this, the decision was made to exile the twins into orbit. Mudflap and his brother moaned that they should've just ignored the Fallen, but help was at hand... from the Decepticons? Mudflap angrily told [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Decepticon agent Wheelie]] that they didn't ''want'' to be freed by ''him'', but the complaint fell on deaf ears: now the twins looked like even ''bigger'' traitors. The two went underground to clear their names, and hit on the foolproof plan of abducting [[Sam Witwicky]] from his house and pleading with him to tell their story to Optimus. All this did was cause Bumblebee to launch an attack to rescue Sam. Mudflap pleaded with the angry Bumblebee that they weren't traitors, that they had vital info...

...and then [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] gunned down the scout and offered the twins sanctuary in the Decepticons. Nowhere else to go, Mudflap took Soundwave's hand and said he'd never liked Earth anyway... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}

[[File:Titan deceptitwins.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"No offence, Sideways, but you're a boring, stupid, unimportant waste of metal and your mum hates you."]]

Once in the Decepticons, he had fun dissing all the other members as being losers and getting on ''everyone's'' nerve, before Soundwave finally sent them on a mission to bring in a rogue member. Once on Earth again, he was genuinely surprised to find out Skids was only ''pretending'' to defect; his annoyed brother explained the plan was that, since Soundwave would send a minder to watch them, they could ambush their minder and have a prisoner to give to the Autobots.

The rogue member turned out to be Ransack, and Mudflap helped Skids lie to him that the Fallen had sent them. Talking instead of fighting? That annoyed ''both'' of their minders, and they came under attack by Grindor and Sideways! Mudflap was ordered after Sideways, and engaged him in a game of chicken; the Decepticon blinked first and crashed into a tree. He thought this was enough, but Skids was determined that they'd now take the fight to Soundwave himself! (Mudflap's considered response was "YOWZA!") {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[File:Titan2-8 twinsanywaytowelcome.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.95]]

Upon returning to the Phobos base, Mudflap was consulted about having a plan of attack. He decided why bother having plans ''now'', just attack! The twins stormed the base, and Mudflap was able to defeat Ravage by ducking the beast's attacks and planting an electrical bomb on him. However, this success was quickly undone and Mudflap found himself about to be killed by Starscream... but the battle gave Ransack an opening to shoot the Seeker in the back and escape, causing the other Decepticons to chase after him! The twins had ''no'' idea what ''that'' was all about... but this was just a short respite, as the twins discovered just what that army massing on Cybertron had been planning: to arrive at the Phobos base en route to Earth...

The twins stood ready to make their last stand, and Mudflap prepared to take down as many drones as possible... when Optimus arrived with the other Autobots! The twins had been tracked to Phobos and to their shock, the other Autobots had realised they weren't traitors and were even apologising! And with all the street cred of uncovering the Phobos base, the twins were welcomed to the Autobots' Earth division. Skids briefly wondered if they should mention "the ''Fa-''" again, but Mudflap told him they were ''never'' mentioning ''that'' bloody thing again. Whatever happened, [[#Revenge of the Fallen movie|would happen]]... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

After hearing Optimus Prime's call into space for all Autobots, Skids and Mudflap were captured by the Decepticons [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] and [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]] just before reaching Earth. Seeking to perfect some new medical experiments, Flatline tried to forcibly reprogram the brothers' processors, but only succeeded in leaving them addled and confused. Another of Flatline's experiments, the tri-fold biker named [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], helped Skids and Mudflap escape.

The newly arrived Autobots joined the human-Transformer military alliance [[NEST]] and began training in earnest at [[Diego Garcia]], but soon had to be deployed to [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

Skids and Mudflap were in [[Seattle]] with NEST tracking the Decepticon straggler, [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]]. They helped guide her stolen RV right into Sideswipe's sights, and he then impaled the "girl" in her seat. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

Later, when [[Theodore Galloway]] and his unit were attacked by [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] en route to investigate the mysterious activities of the enigmatic [[Initiative]] at [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots dispatched Skids and Mudflap to Galloway's aid. Together, they held Ransack off until a NEST strike team could arrive and finish him off. The Twins then accompanied Galloway and the soldiers to Hoover Dam, and while the Initiative forces had already cleared out, Skids and Mudflap realized what they had been after: residual energy from the [[AllSpark]] that had been kept there. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} To uncover the Initiative's secret goals, the Autobots soon allied themselves with [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], and followed his lead to the Initiative's base of operations in [[Crater Lake]], [[Oregon]]. Skids and Mudflap were deployed to attack the base from the east; when they were met with resistance in the form of the Initiative's troops, they took them out of the equation by disabling the advanced weaponry they were wielding with precision blasts. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} He and Skids then worked as back-up for Bumblebee's team of cadets in the final battle at Crater Lake. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

Mudflap and Skids were present at NEST's Washington base during Optimus Prime's conversation with [[Charlotte Mearing]] about the moon landings.

Later, the Twins were among the Autobots charged with escorting [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] to [[NEST]] headquarters for safety when the ancient Autobot revealed himself to be a traitor by killing Ironhide. Skids was next to die, intercepting a shot meant for Bumblebee, sending Mudflap into a rage. He lunged at the turncoat Autobot, seeking revenge for his brother's death, but even his righteous anger could not make him a match for Sentinel, and he too met his ends moments later. Sentinel eulogized him with some degree of respect, remarking that he at least died a death worthy of an Autobot. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation}}

===Toy bios===
Young and eager, Mudflap idolized Optimus Prime and the other great Autobot heroes. He and Skids went to Earth solely in the hope of joining up with their idols, and it was a dream come true for them! {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Mudflap}} In an early mission, however, they found themselves used as guinea pigs for experimental combination technology; trying to ''stay'' combined in their gestalt vehicle mode took up more of their focus than fighting Decepticons! {{storylink|#Icecreamtruck|Autobot Skids and Mudflap (Deluxe Combiner)}}

Skids believes himself to be the "smart one" of the twins, mostly because he is slightly less hyperactive than Mudflap. {{storylink|Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Autobot Skids}} However, he must have impressed the Autobots as later, he was assigned to help Sideswipe take down an empowered [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]]! {{storylink|The Fury of Fearswoop}} Normally, his role was to create diversions. {{storylink|Skids (ROTF)#Robot Replicas|Robot Replicas Skids}}

*'''Mudflap''' (Legends Class, [[2009]])

: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Mudflap is a simple, affordable small-scale toy. Amusingly, just like his brother Skids, the [[kibble]] on his arm actually works as his big deformed hand, only grossly oversized.

: As with all [[wave]] 3 Legends figures, his on-packaging [[stock photography|stock photo]] shows a mistransformed robot mode, with his abdomen not being extended. Furthermore, the second set of stock photos (which depict a [[:File:ROTF_LegendsMudflap_Lawson.jpg:|pre-production sample]]) shows him lacking several red [[paint operation]]s covering areas of gray plastic in vehicle mode as compared to the final toy.

{{anchor|LawsonsLegend}}
*'''Autobot Set''' (Legends Class multi-pack, 2009)

: Available exclusively at the Lawson's convenience store in Japan (and the only way to obtain this figure via TakaraTomy), the Japanese edition of Legends Class Mudflap, named EZ Collection Mudflap, is identical to the Hasbro release. The Deluxe Class Preview Bumblebee it comes with is also unchanged from the regular release. Preorders opened on the [[May 1|1st of May]] and closed on [[June 30]]th, and the figure itself shipped on the [[October 16|16th of October]]. Although initial publicity photographs indicated that the toy was altered slightly from the US deco (see right), these photographs have proven to be inaccurate, as owners of this toy have reported no discernable differences from the standard US edition.[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/281376-rotf-takara-v-hasbro-comparisons.html]

*'''Mudflap''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-15'''
**''Accessories:'' Smoke-shaped missile

:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class figures, Mudflap transforms into a rust-orange Chevy Trax. He transforms similarly to (but not exactly like) the Deluxe toy of his twin brother, Skids. He also has similar gimmickry; for example, his [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is also activated by pushing in the grill on his chest. This causes some panels in his chest to sway and his head to, uh, headbang. Additional Mech Alive action is engineered into his larger left arm. When his fist folds in towards his wrist, panels on the outside of his forearm spread and reveal a raising, spring-loaded missile launcher. In vehicle mode, this missile is stored through a cross-shaped hole on the rear bumper. On a sadder note, the clip which holds his chest to his back has a lot of trouble actually connecting, so you're going to be stuck with just carefully posing him so that he doesn't come undone. In addition, the wheels can be locked behind his extended kneepads, which shortens and squattens his legs to create a more screen-accurate model.

:Mudflap initially came with a license plate that referenced his car model, "Trax."<ref name="traxplate">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/mudflap/1817/1/21/ ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Mudflap with "TRAX" license plate.]</ref> A [[variant|running change variant]] later enlarged the license plate and changed it to "Mudflap".<ref name="mudflapplate">[http://desmondyoongcollection.blogspot.com/2009/07/hasbro-mudflap-rotf.html ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Mudflap with "MUDFLAP" license plate.]</ref> The Japanese release only featured the later "Mudflap" version, skipping the earlier "Trax" version entirely.

*'''Autobot Skids And Mudflap''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-20'''

:This two-pack of the twin Autobot brothers can combine into a single, old-fashioned ice cream truck. The vehicle splits in half right down the middle of its chassis (similar to how it does in the film) to create the two small robot forms. Other than the transformation, the toy features no [[gimmick]]s.

:Mudflap's heels are too thick for his feet to fold up properly in vehicle mode, though this can be fixed by trimming them. Mudflap also has a springloaded neck socket...but the reason for it is not all that clear.(the instructions do document it, but the head is not even locked in packed on the card) Also, this toy may be the first Transformer to feature the typeface Comic Sans, which is used to write "MADE FRESH FOR YOU" across both front wheel hubs. But that's on Skids's half, so Mudflap is partly absolved here.

:The ice cream truck features unpainted rust detailing.

:Amusingly, the ice cream truck accommodates [[Human Alliance]] human figures ''really'' well.

*'''Mudflap / [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] / [[Seymour Simmons]]''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: A larger-scale figure, [[Human Alliance]] Mudflap has a very similar transformation to his twin, which is understandable on a canonical level, since they're from the same spark. As usual, Simmons (or any other Human alliance driver figure) can be seated in Mudflap in his vehicle mode, with Mudflap's (still usable) seats ending up on his wrists/arms in robot mode. Simmons can also stand on Mudflap's palms in this mode. Mudflap comes with a transforming figure of [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] as well, which Simmons can ride in her motorbike mode.

: He shares two features with his twin, having a pop-up mini-gun behind his head which a back-mounted Simmons can man, and having a similar action feature for his head: pressing down on an orange piece on his head opens and closes his mouth, simulating a talking motion.

: He also has two unique features: the right seat has a twin-barreled gun molded into the base, and the left seat has a pop-up control panel for Simmons to operate, presumably to control the small [[Retractable string gimmick|grappling hook]] set above Mudflap's left hand, which a small winch can reel out and pull in.

: Unlike most transforming Mudflap figures, he is a more screen-accurate shade of orange red, rather than just a rusty color. Also unlike the other Mudflap figures is the fact that this figure was stocked in much lower numbers, meaning he didn't end up [[Shelfwarmer|shelfwarming]] like the others and ironically ended up being quite rare.

:''[[Fast Action Battlers]]'' Mudflap has a simplified transformation for younger buyers. His left hand's middle finger can be extended (yes, ha ha) on a rope to function as a grappling hook.

: Part of the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[MechTech]] Deluxe Class toys, Mudflap transforms from a black Chevrolet Spark with wide orange stripes into a stumpy robot with big feet. He is a smaller and less articulated, but more stable and <s>movie-accurate</s> comic-accurate figure, and comes with a Blaster that transforms into a Cybertronian Battle Axe when the scope is pulled, though the weapon ''cannot'' be locked in battle axe mode. He features six MechTech ports in total, with two ports on the roof in vehicle mode, one for each of his hands, and one underneath each of his arms.

: Unfortunately, Mudflap suffers from a [[design flaw]]: The connection holding his shoulders and upper arms together is very tight, and trying to swing his upper arms out to the side will occasionally result in the arms popping out of their plastic swivels.

: His weapon was redecoed into the weapon of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys 2|Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]].

==Controversy==
From watching ''Revenge of the Fallen'', it should be pretty obvious that the depiction of the Twins is rooted in racist stereotypes of African-Americans. Their illiteracy in [[Cyberglyphics]] is framed as "never learnin' to read", they speak in an overall stereotypical manner, and are generally shown to not be very clever and quick to violence. Furthermore, compared to the other Autobots (and even fellow black-coded movie Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]), their designs are visibly more hunched and ugly, with disfigured faces and a gold buck tooth on Skids. [[Tales of the Fallen issue 6|One later attempt]] to "smooth over" the problem would reveal that the pair act the way they do due to them being brain damaged, which only exacerbates the issue.

What's unclear is where exactly this imagery originated from: writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] claimed to have been following [[Michael Bay]]'s lead on the character, while Bay stated that it came from a piece of improv by actors [[Tom Kenny]] and [[Reno Wilson]]. Though Kenny, who is white, declined to comment when interviewed, Wilson, who is black, stated that they had been given direction to play the twins as "wannabe gangster types". This was apparently supposed to play off the fact that, as alien robots who had learned human language and culture from the internet, they could not be black, with Wilson likening them to white rappers like {{w|Kevin Federline}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090626132026/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/transformers-jivetalking-_n_220005.html Transformers' Jive-Talking Robots Raise Race Issues - The Huffington Post]</ref> What this means for Jazz, as well as the [[Brains|other]] [[Mohawk|characters]] Wilson has played, is unknown. Whatever the intent, nobody involved seems to want to be tied to the issue. Orci and Kurtzman have attempted to distance themselves from the characters, stating that the stereotypes weren't in their script.<ref>[http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/orci-and-kurtzman-respond-to-claims-of-racism-in-transformers-2.php Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman respond to claims of racism on ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Film School Rejects, June 24, 2009]</ref> For whatever reason, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel, written by Alan Dean Foster and based on Orci and Kurtzman's screenplay, only depicts ''Skids'' as the film-accurate slang-talker, while Mudflap speaks like any other Autobot, albeit with a thick lisp. Meanwhile, [[Simon Furman]]'s ''Revenge of the Fallen'' material has ''both'' of the twins using less slang; presumably, Furman likely did not wish to try his hand at "street".

Whatever the intended direction for the characters, the "wannabe gangster" shtick really doesn't come across in the finished project. [[Robert Epps]], the only prominent black human character in the film, is never shown having anything to say about them, for example. Ultimately, the Twins' portrayal was rightfully deemed pretty disgusting, and the resultant public backlash was likely what led the studio to quietly drop the pair partway into the filming of ''Dark of the Moon''. While their intended role in the film survived into that film's [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|novelization]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic book adaptation]], the Twins are thankfully not present in any future movie stories, and are indeed conspicuous by their absence in the cross-film ''[[Studio Series]]'' toyline.

==Notes==
* The ice cream truck is apparently based on a heavily customized 1930s Chevrolet truck.{{fact|confirmation needed}} [[Ben Procter]] apparently lifted the color scheme and deco for his early concept design for the ice cream truck<ref name="procterrotf">[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=2772 Ben Procter's ROTF concept art at Concept Art World.]</ref> ''directly'' off a photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck that had been added to the Wikipedia article for "ice cream van" in February 2006,<ref name="wikipediaice">{{w|File:Ice_Cream_Truck_Sydney_Australia_-_crop.png|Photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck at Wikipedia, added in February 2006.}}</ref> down to identical placement and design of the fonts and graphics. The details were later slightly tweaked for the final design that can be seen in the movie... but only very slightly so.
*One of the decals on the ice cream truck's side that was created specifically for the movie reads "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] suck my popsicle." Classy. Too bad the toy ''does not have'' this decal. (Because, you know, for kids...)
**A "censored" version of the movie is rumored to exist with the aforementioned text edited out, with the somewhat nonsensical result of "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]]           popsicle". This version was supposedly shown in some theaters even though other theaters in the same market apparently got the uncensored version. The more likely explanation for this would be that different theaters simply used different lightings settings, which effectively rendered the words "suck my" (which were written in dark red on a black backdrop to begin with) invisible, with no actual intention of "censorship" behind it.
[[File:ROTFSmartCarTwinConcept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Yeah, that's not phallic at all.]]
*In the brief scenes that the twins appear in robot mode while still in their ice cream truck-[[kibble]]d robot forms, both have four wheels present due to the redressing of their individual car-based robot CGI models. The wheels are considerably wider than the ones present on the ice cream truck too.
**Also, in the scanning scene, the pair both curl up into a ball and turn into their new vehicle forms in a burst of light, just as Skids did in his transformation mere seconds ago. This is likely due to the pair having very little screentime in those forms meaning proper transformations weren't animated.
*The Twins' final alternate modes in the film, the Chevrolet Beat (Skids) and Chevrolet Trax (Mudflap), were designed by General Motors as small car concept vehicles. At one point in the film's pre-production, another small car, the [[Mercedes-Benz]] {{w|Smart (automobile)|Smart}}, was evidently considered as an option for a film character; concept art of a "third twin" based on it appears in various sections of the ''Revenge'' DVD special features, always in close proximity to concept art of Skids and Mudflap. Whether it was meant to be a third character related to Skids and Mudflap or if it was supposed to be used in place of one of them is unknown. What '''is''' known is that [[Hasbro]] has had great difficultly in the past trying to get likeness licenses from German automakers, which is probably why the vehicle/character was dropped.
*Oddly enough, even though Mudflap's Chevy Trax [[alternate mode]] features big blue "eyes" on his chest and the truck seems to have a similar "face" on its grill that does not appear on his brother (and fellow [[combiner]]) Skids's Chevy Beat form, he makes up the ''back'' of the ice cream truck. He does, however, still have "eyes" on his chest in his ice cream truck form which are created from the rear taillights of the vehicle. This is evidenced in one scene from the movie where they are lit up the color of red.
*In their combined ice cream truck mode, the Twins sport the [[license plate]] "KDM 814". A minor variant of this, "KDM 0814" with an extra "0", was later used for the life-sized Bumblebee prop on various displays from 2009 upuntil at least 2011. For the individual cars, two different sets of license plates were apparently used, either "Trax" and "Beat" referencing their car models or "Mudflap" and "Skids", with the latter two being featured more prominently in the movie (the "BEAT" plate can be seen briefly during the New York City scene, and it's ''possible'' the "TRAX" plate was used for the same scene, although the car's plate is offscreen during that scene). All four plates were auctioned off in October 2009.<ref name="licenseauct">[http://www.icollector.com/Autobots-Skids-and-Mudfap-s-license-plates-from-Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen_i8633012 Mudflap and Skids license plates for auction] at icollector.com</ref> The auction claims that the plates referring to their car models were used in vehicle mode, while those identifying the two Autobots by name were used in robot mode... which is ''directly'' refuted by screencaps from the movie included with the auction, which show the robot name plates on the cars in vehicle mode. Also, the two ''real'' Chevrolet Trax and Beat cars the Twins scan already feature individualized license plates sporting their robot names. Huh.
*Amusingly, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro's Battle Bio] for Mudflap lists his arch-enemy as... [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]]. The Twins' RPMs two-pack is also called "Skids vs Mudflap".
*Despite promotional pictures and most of the merchandise made for Mudflap, in the film he is actually closer to red than orange. The RPM and Human Alliance figures are close to the actual character's colors in the film.
*Much like [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|the previous]] [[Mudflap (Movie)|two Mudflaps]], toys of this character tend to be [[shelfwarmer]]s. Maybe the ''name'' is cursed.
* The Twins were originally supposed to return for ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]''. Even though [[General Motors]] provided two Chevrolet Sparks to serve as their alternate modes<ref name="chevyspark">[http://www.leftlanenews.com/chevrolet-spark-transformers-3.html Left Lane News article on two Chevrolet Sparks spotted on the DOTM set], May 2010.</ref> which were still spotted on the set as late as October 2010,<ref name="dcparking">[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2010/10/transformers-3-dc-parking-lot-gallery.html "Transformers 3 DC Parking Lot Gallery"], Transformers Live Action Movie Blog, October 2010.</ref> the two were mostly edited out of the final movie (their vehicle modes can barely be glimpsed in a brief shot). Michael Bay even went so far as to offer a $25,000 reward for anyone who would see the Twins "perform" in the movie.<ref name="reward">[http://collider.com/transformers-3-twins-skids-mudflap-michael-bay/91104/ Collider.com article on Michael Bay's "reward" for spotting Skids and Mudflap "perform" in DOTM], May 2011.</ref> In the novelization and the comic adaptation, Skids and Mudflap still appear.
*Like all non-toy robot [[Kreon]]s in the ''Kre-O'' comics, Mudflap is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Mirage]] helmet... and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Jazz]] door-backpack.
*Mudflap is one of many Autobots featured in Harold Attinger's card deck in Age of Extinction. His card wasn't visible in the movie, but revealed as a part of a prop auction. Oddly enough, he is not labeled as deceased. Considering how adaptations of Dark of the Moon feature Mudflap's death, it is possible that his inclusion in the deck is a continuity error.<ref>[[:File:AOE-Kill-Cards-Set-3.jpg]]</ref>

The twins were first into action for NEST's mission to Shanghai, slowly trundling through the city streets in their ice-cream truck mode and taunting Decepticons in the area to show themselves. Two Decepticons soon did: [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. At NEST's orders, the twins went after the smaller foe and, working with Arcee, managed to herd him into an alleyway. However, their slow, ungainly choice of alternate mode left them unable to keep up with Sideways. While Arcee leapt through a building to pursue the Decepticon, the twins tried to go around the building to catch him. However, the twins inadvertently split apart from one another when they rounded the corner too sharply, thus taking them out of the chase. Mudflap took the blame for the crash, but Skids still berated (and smacked) Mudflap for his failure.
[[File:ROTF Twins truck robot modes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Ben and Jerry?]]
Upon arrival to Diego Garcia and NEST headquarters, the twins were given new, individual alternate forms to make sure another incident like that never happened. Mudflap wanted the Chevy Beat as a vehicle form, but after a brief wrestling match with his brother, he was relegated to the form of the Chevrolet Trax.

Later, the twins, along with the other NEST-allied Autobots, were dispatched to look for [[Sam Witwicky]] when Decepticons were detected heading towards his college. After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was killed by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the twins helped the Autobot force fight off the Decepticon leader and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], allowing Sam, [[Leo Spitz]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to make good their escape. Skids and Mudflap met up with Bumblebee and the humans, and together they fled to a remote location. After the twins teased Leo for a while for his panic attack, Sam inquired whether one of them could interpret the Cybertronic symbols with which he had become obsessed. The twins claimed that they couldn't read the ancient Language of the Primes and weren't much into reading, anyway.

[[File:ROTF movie SkidsMudflap bigmother.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|And this is us when we traveled to...hey, Skids, where did we go again?]]

With the help of the Decepticon [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], the group made their way to the Smithsonian, where the humans reactivated the venerable ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. He teleported them all to [[Egypt]] before telling them the tale of the original [[Dynasty of Primes|Primes]], the [[Star Harvester]], which had the potential to destroy all life on Earth, and finally, the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the key to activating the harvester and possibly the only thing that could bring Optimus Prime back to life. When the Matrix could not be found at the ruins of [[Petra]], Mudflap questioned why they were helping Sam, wondering what they had done for the Autobots. Skids pointed out that Sam ''had'' killed Megatron, but Mudflap said the point was moot since Megatron was now back. After calling each other "scared" and "ugly" the two began to fight with one another. After damaging the structure and nearly crushing the humans, Bumblebee picked the twins up, bashed them together, and threw them out the door. However, their bickering created a hole in the wall where the [[Tomb of the Primes]] lay, and with it, the Matrix.

[[File:ROTF Devastator Mudflap swallow.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|[[Simon Furman]] would have had a [[Furmanism|field day]] with this scene.]]
Making their way back to the Pyramids where NEST waited with Optimus Prime's body, the group came under attack by Starscream. Mudflap, Skids, Leo and Simmons acted as a decoy to lure the Decepticons away from Sam and Mikaela. Unfortunately, they attracted the attention of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], who [[combiner|combined]] into [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] and attacked by vacuuming up loose objects such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Hanging on for dear life inside the monster's mouth, he tried to use his "{{w|Kung-Fu grip|kung-fu grip}}", but was sucked further inside, losing his shoulder guards in the process.

[[File:ROTF Mudflap vs Devastator.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"Wait Devastator! You have a bug on your face, let me shoot it for you!"]]
As Skids mourned the loss of his twin, Simmons realized that the safest place to be was directly under the giant. But he had survived being vacuumed up by Devastator, and to escape he had blasted a hole through its head. To buy the humans time to escape, Skids clambered up Devastator's [[Hightower (ROTF)|right forepaw]] to assist Mudflap. Skids threw a cable to Mudflap, who grabbed it and swung off Devastator's head onto his arm. However, once they had landed, Mudflap accidentally shot Skids in the face, knocking them off. At [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s command, Devastator continued onto the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]]. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Mudflap and Skids were at the end of an Autobot convoy as the team rolled into the hangar of NEST's [[Washington, D.C.]] base.

Mudflap was later parked next to Sideswipe when Sam arrived at NEST HQ for the first time. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Mudflap and Skids were originally scripted to feature in ''Dark of the Moon'', but their appearances were cut from the finished film, save for this ''very'' brief shot. See "adaptations" below for what they would have done if they'd made it through to the final cut.}}
{{-}}

====''Age of Extinction'' film====
After the battle for Chicago, [[Harold Attinger]]'s CIA taskforce "[[Cemetery Wind]]" began hunting down the Autobots in addition to the remaining Decepticons on Earth. Mudflap received a message from Optimus Prime, instructing all Autobots to flee for their lives.

Five years later, Optimus questioned Mudflap's absence, to which [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] replied that it was uncertain if anyone else evaded Cemetery Wind. However, Mudflap was not listed as "deceased" by Cemetery Wind.<ref>[[:File:AOE-Kill-Cards-Set-3.jpg]]</ref> {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}
{{note|Considering how adaptations of ''Dark of the Moon'' feature Skids and Mudflap getting killed off, it is likely that their inclusion in Attinger's card deck of dead Transformers is a massive continuity error.}}

===Titan movie comics===
[[File:Titan2-1 Mudflap.jpg|left|thumb|Quick! We have to get to auditions before the cool characters!]]

Sometimes, he has a small forcefield in vehicle mode. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

Mudflap first met [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] when they were about to be thrown into a [[smelting pool]]. It was fun! {{Storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

Mudflap and Skids happily stayed on Cybertron, going through intensive training (which ''totally'' wasn't goofing off) and having extreme-sports contests. Neither wanted to leave their homeworld, and they were the only Transformers on it until [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] turned up with [[Purple generic drone|a Decepticon army]]. When they heard him mention a [[Star Harvester]], Mudflap said they should tell someone...but was a bit upset to find out the fastest way to do that would be to leave Cybertron and tell the Autobots in person.

The decision was made for them when the Decepticons attacked. Mudflap took some hits, causing Skids to obliterate the Decepticons responsible, but for the most part, their training paid off. However, he realised they were running out of places to run, so he followed his brother in leaving the plane, with only one course of action remaining: follow the message [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] had beamed into space and head for [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}}

The twins made it to Earth soon, crash-landing in Toronto, Canada. On the way in, Mudflap hit a {{w|CN Tower|big tower}}, and was a bit guilty since he knew how these primitive luddite humans still needed radio waves (the saps). They swam their way to Ball's Falls, where they picked up Earth alternate modes and, Mudflap taking charge, set out to try and find local Autobots and warn them about the Star Harvester.

Driving along the wrong side of the Interstate, the twins were attacked by the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], who pursued them across open countryside, trying to kill them on Starscream's orders. Mudflap transformed and blinded the old Decepticon with a fistful of dirt, which bought the twins some time to find cover. However, the airborne enemy kept up with the twins, and Mudflap lost a chance at cover when he ran back to save his brother. Luckily they were saved by Bumblebee, who attacked and forced Ransack to retreat. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

[[File:Titan2-3 Mudflap face.jpg|right|thumb|Sorry, [[Jon Davis-Hunt|Jon]], at some point you have to draw their ugly mugs.]]

Now living at [[NEST]]'s Californian base with Bumblebee as their minder, Skids and Mudflap repeatedly asked to deliver their info to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]—and only Optimus, much to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]'s annoyance. He was more annoyed when they ambushed him to get to Optimus...who, as it turns out, was away on a need-to-know mission anyway.

After this defeat, and with Ironhide having bluntly told them nobody believed them, they desperately asked to join in a NEST op in [[Las Vegas]]...getting turned down, because they were too crap to get involved. Mudflap almost called their superior a very rude word over this, and after the team had left, he decided they should go to Vegas ''anyway'' to show Ironhide just what they could do! What they could do, it turned out, was screw up a successful mission by freeing [[Grindor (ROTF)|a captured Decepticon]] by trying to "shoot him down". Mudflap was left mortified. Ironhide, recognising what they were trying to do, told him that maybe they could work on training the twins not to jump in without looking, and that the trick was to learn from mistakes. The twins claimed they'd try. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

They soon wished they hadn't, as they were condemned to NEST's [[United Kingdom|Orkney Islands]] base for days of sim-com (simulated combat) training under [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Mudflap agreed with Skids' theory that this was an excuse to keep them away from Optimus, and the whole situation got on his nerves. They both protested to Sideswipe that they could handle Decepticons. Him pointing out their failure with Grindor shut them up. However, the training was interrupted when [[Ravage (ROTF)|a huge metal cat monster]] broke into the base, KOed Sideswipe, and tried to eat the twins!

[[File:Titan4 Mudflapravage.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4| Nice kitty...nice kitty...]]

They transformed and fled, with all attempts at holding it off failing. Mudflap hit on a plan of trapping the creature in the sim-com room and letting the drones shoot it down. He pulled this off, using himself as bait; in the process, he received a communication from [[Soundwave (ROTF)|the monster's master]], who demanded to know what the twins knew about some lost and fallen guy. Mudflap briefly wondered who this dude was, then shrugged and just sprang the trap on Ravage.

With that done, the twins tried to fill in the revived Sideswipe... except the creature had gone, leaving their instructor with the view that ''they'd'' knocked him out in revenge for their training. Between that and Grindor, he thought they were up to something... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

[[File:Titan2-5 twinsHEstartedit.jpg|right|thumb|Even the ''characters'' [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Notes|shift the blame]] over who came up with their dialogue!]]

The twins were later taken to Diego Garcia, and ecstatic to learn Optimus was coming there! Okay, he's only dropping a prisoner off, he's not here to see them and knows nothing about their story, but they ignored all that and drove off when Sideswipe wasn't looking so they could greet the leader. Mudflap squeed over how Optimus would be so proud with ''his'' work! Skids picked up on that and accused his brother of trying to steal the glory, and soon the two of them were having a big fight and slagging match...

And so their first meeting with Optimus Prime was to be yelled at for conduct unbecoming of an Autobot warrior. (See the pic to the side to find out how ''that'' went.)

That was when [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] made his attack, blasting at the distracted Prime and moving to free the prisoner [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Mudflap swiftly grabbed a weapon to stop this escape, but Sideways snatched it from his hands and used it himself to cover his retreat. Sideswipe, watching from a distance, believed Mudflap had ''given'' over the weapon, and convinced Prime that the twins were traitors: they must have helped Scorponok get here and now assisted him in his mission, on top of freeing Grindor and attacking him! Mudflap and Skids protested they were being set up because they knew too much, but it fell on deaf ears as they were taken into custody... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

[[File:Titan2-6 aimedatyourheart.jpg|left|thumb|Heart, head, near enough...]]

Following this, the decision was made to exile the twins into orbit. Mudflap and his brother moaned that they should've just ignored the Fallen, but help was at hand... from the Decepticons? Mudflap angrily told [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Decepticon agent Wheelie]] that they didn't ''want'' to be freed by ''him'', but the complaint fell on deaf ears: now the twins looked like even ''bigger'' traitors. The two went underground to clear their names, and hit on the foolproof plan of abducting [[Sam Witwicky]] from his house and pleading with him to tell their story to Optimus. All this did was cause Bumblebee to launch an attack to rescue Sam. Mudflap pleaded with the angry Bumblebee that they weren't traitors, that they had vital info...

...and then [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] gunned down the scout and offered the twins sanctuary in the Decepticons. Nowhere else to go, Mudflap took Soundwave's hand and said he'd never liked Earth anyway... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}

[[File:Titan deceptitwins.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"No offence, Sideways, but you're a boring, stupid, unimportant waste of metal and your mum hates you."]]

Once in the Decepticons, he had fun dissing all the other members as being losers and getting on ''everyone's'' nerve, before Soundwave finally sent them on a mission to bring in a rogue member. Once on Earth again, he was genuinely surprised to find out Skids was only ''pretending'' to defect; his annoyed brother explained the plan was that, since Soundwave would send a minder to watch them, they could ambush their minder and have a prisoner to give to the Autobots.

The rogue member turned out to be Ransack, and Mudflap helped Skids lie to him that the Fallen had sent them. Talking instead of fighting? That annoyed ''both'' of their minders, and they came under attack by Grindor and Sideways! Mudflap was ordered after Sideways, and engaged him in a game of chicken; the Decepticon blinked first and crashed into a tree. He thought this was enough, but Skids was determined that they'd now take the fight to Soundwave himself! (Mudflap's considered response was "YOWZA!") {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[File:Titan2-8 twinsanywaytowelcome.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.95]]

Upon returning to the Phobos base, Mudflap was consulted about having a plan of attack. He decided why bother having plans ''now'', just attack! The twins stormed the base, and Mudflap was able to defeat Ravage by ducking the beast's attacks and planting an electrical bomb on him. However, this success was quickly undone and Mudflap found himself about to be killed by Starscream... but the battle gave Ransack an opening to shoot the Seeker in the back and escape, causing the other Decepticons to chase after him! The twins had ''no'' idea what ''that'' was all about... but this was just a short respite, as the twins discovered just what that army massing on Cybertron had been planning: to arrive at the Phobos base en route to Earth...

The twins stood ready to make their last stand, and Mudflap prepared to take down as many drones as possible... when Optimus arrived with the other Autobots! The twins had been tracked to Phobos and to their shock, the other Autobots had realised they weren't traitors and were even apologising! And with all the street cred of uncovering the Phobos base, the twins were welcomed to the Autobots' Earth division. Skids briefly wondered if they should mention "the ''Fa-''" again, but Mudflap told him they were ''never'' mentioning ''that'' bloody thing again. Whatever happened, [[#Revenge of the Fallen movie|would happen]]... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

After hearing Optimus Prime's call into space for all Autobots, Skids and Mudflap were captured by the Decepticons [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] and [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]] just before reaching Earth. Seeking to perfect some new medical experiments, Flatline tried to forcibly reprogram the brothers' processors, but only succeeded in leaving them addled and confused. Another of Flatline's experiments, the tri-fold biker named [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], helped Skids and Mudflap escape. They picked up a ship and made their trek the rest of the way to Earth. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}}

The ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]], {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}} The Twins both chose the [[combiner|combined]] form of an old, beat-up ice cream truck. The newly arrived Autobots joined the human-Transformer military alliance [[NEST]] and began training in earnest at [[Diego Garcia]], but soon had to be deployed to [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

Skids and Mudflap were in [[Seattle]] with NEST tracking the Decepticon straggler, [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]]. They helped guide her stolen RV right into Sideswipe's sights, and he then impaled the "girl" in her seat. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

Later, when [[Theodore Galloway]] and his unit were attacked by [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] en route to investigate the mysterious activities of the enigmatic [[Initiative]] at [[Hoover Dam]], the Autobots dispatched Skids and Mudflap to Galloway's aid. Together, they held Ransack off until a NEST strike team could arrive and finish him off. The Twins then accompanied Galloway and the soldiers to Hoover Dam, and while the Initiative forces had already cleared out, Skids and Mudflap realized what they had been after: residual energy from the [[AllSpark]] that had been kept there. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} To uncover the Initiative's secret goals, the Autobots soon allied themselves with [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], and followed his lead to the Initiative's base of operations in [[Crater Lake]], [[Oregon]]. Skids and Mudflap were deployed to attack the base from the east; when they were met with resistance in the form of the Initiative's troops, they took them out of the equation by disabling the advanced weaponry they were wielding with precision blasts. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} He and Skids then worked as back-up for Bumblebee's team of cadets in the final battle at Crater Lake. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, the Twins joined Arcee, her sisters, and the human forces of NEST in tackling them.

Mudflap and Skids were present at NEST's Washington base during Optimus Prime's conversation with [[Charlotte Mearing]] about the moon landings.

Later, the Twins were among the Autobots charged with escorting [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] to [[NEST]] headquarters for safety when the ancient Autobot revealed himself to be a traitor by killing Ironhide. Skids was next to die, intercepting a shot meant for Bumblebee, sending Mudflap into a rage. He lunged at the turncoat Autobot, seeking revenge for his brother's death, but even his righteous anger could not make him a match for Sentinel, and he too met his ends moments later. Sentinel eulogized him with some degree of respect, remarking that he at least died a death worthy of an Autobot. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation}}

Even after Megatron's latest plot had been foiled, and the Twins requested some time off from "spying" on Sam, Optimus informed them that their battle against the Decepticons was far from over. {{storylink|Prime Target (book)|Prime Target}}

Upon learning that [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]] and [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]] were causing trouble, Optimus ordered Mudflap and the rest of the Autobots to roll out to face the Decepticons. Thanks to Soundwave's tampering with their communications, however, the Autobots arrived at an abandonned warehouse instead of where the trouble was taking place. Thankfully, Sam and Bumblebee met with the Autobots, and led them to the correct location. The Decepticons were defeated and the Autobots cheered Sam for his help in the mission. {{storylink|Satellite Meltdown}}

*'''Mudflap''' (Legends Class, [[2009]])

: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Mudflap is a simple, affordable small-scale toy. Amusingly, just like his brother Skids, the [[kibble]] on his arm actually works as his big deformed hand, only grossly oversized.

: As with all [[wave]] 3 Legends figures, his on-packaging [[stock photography|stock photo]] shows a mistransformed robot mode, with his abdomen not being extended. Furthermore, the second set of stock photos (which depict a [[:File:ROTF_LegendsMudflap_Lawson.jpg:|pre-production sample]]) shows him lacking several red [[paint operation]]s covering areas of gray plastic in vehicle mode as compared to the final toy.

*'''Autobot Set''' (Legends Class multi-pack, 2009)

: Available exclusively at the Lawson's convenience store in Japan (and the only way to obtain this figure via TakaraTomy), the Japanese edition of Legends Class Mudflap, named EZ Collection Mudflap, is identical to the Hasbro release. The Deluxe Class Preview Bumblebee it comes with is also unchanged from the regular release. Preorders opened on the [[May 1|1st of May]] and closed on [[June 30]]th, and the figure itself shipped on the [[October 16|16th of October]]. Although initial publicity photographs indicated that the toy was altered slightly from the US deco (see right), these photographs have proven to be inaccurate, as owners of this toy have reported no discernable differences from the standard US edition.[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/281376-rotf-takara-v-hasbro-comparisons.html]

*'''Mudflap''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-15'''
**''Accessories:'' Smoke-shaped missile

:Part of the third wave of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class figures, Mudflap transforms into a rust-orange Chevy Trax. He transforms similarly to (but not exactly like) the Deluxe toy of his twin brother, Skids. He also has similar gimmickry; for example, his [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is also activated by pushing in the grill on his chest. This causes some panels in his chest to sway and his head to, uh, headbang. Additional Mech Alive action is engineered into his larger left arm. When his fist folds in towards his wrist, panels on the outside of his forearm spread and reveal a raising, spring-loaded missile launcher. In vehicle mode, this missile is stored through a cross-shaped hole on the rear bumper. On a sadder note, the clip which holds his chest to his back has a lot of trouble actually connecting, so you're going to be stuck with just carefully posing him so that he doesn't come undone. In addition, the wheels can be locked behind his extended kneepads, which shortens and squattens his legs to create a more screen-accurate model.

:Mudflap initially came with a license plate that referenced his car model, "Trax."<ref name="traxplate">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/mudflap/1817/1/21/ ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Mudflap with "TRAX" license plate.]</ref> A [[variant|running change variant]] later enlarged the license plate and changed it to "Mudflap".<ref name="mudflapplate">[http://desmondyoongcollection.blogspot.com/2009/07/hasbro-mudflap-rotf.html ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class Mudflap with "MUDFLAP" license plate.]</ref> The Japanese release only featured the later "Mudflap" version, skipping the earlier "Trax" version entirely. Both plates were apparently used for the movie (see notes below).

*'''Autobot Skids And Mudflap''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-20'''

:This two-pack of the twin Autobot brothers can combine into a single, old-fashioned ice cream truck. The vehicle splits in half right down the middle of its chassis (similar to how it does in the film) to create the two small robot forms. Other than the transformation, the toy features no [[gimmick]]s.

:Mudflap's heels are too thick for his feet to fold up properly in vehicle mode, though this can be fixed by trimming them. Mudflap also has a springloaded neck socket...but the reason for it is not all that clear.(the instructions do document it, but the head is not even locked in packed on the card) Also, this toy may be the first Transformer to feature the typeface Comic Sans, which is used to write "MADE FRESH FOR YOU" across both front wheel hubs. But that's on Skids's half, so Mudflap is partly absolved here.

:The ice cream truck features unpainted rust detailing.

*'''Mudflap / [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] / [[Seymour Simmons]]''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: A larger-scale figure, [[Human Alliance]] Mudflap has a very similar transformation to his twin, which is understandable on a canonical level, since they're from the same spark. As usual, Simmons (or any other Human alliance driver figure) can be seated in Mudflap in his vehicle mode, with Mudflap's (still usable) seats ending up on his wrists/arms in robot mode. Simmons can also stand on Mudflap's palms in this mode. Mudflap comes with a transforming figure of [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] as well, which Simmons can ride in her motorbike mode.

: He shares two features with his twin, having a pop-up mini-gun behind his head which a back-mounted Simmons can man, and having a similar action feature for his head: pressing down on an orange piece on his head opens and closes his mouth, simulating a talking motion.

: He also has two unique features: the right seat has a twin-barreled gun molded into the base, and the left seat has a pop-up control panel for Simmons to operate, presumably to control the small [[Retractable string gimmick|grappling hook]] set above Mudflap's left hand, which a small winch can reel out and pull in.

: Unlike most transforming Mudflap figures, he is a more screen-accurate shade of orange red, rather than just a rusty color. Also unlike the other Mudflap figures is the fact that this figure was stocked in much lower numbers, meaning he didn't end up [[Shelfwarmer|shelfwarming]] like the others and ironically ended up being quite rare.

He features six MechTech ports in total, with two ports on the roof in vehicle mode, one for each of his hands, and one underneath each of his arms.

: Unfortunately, Mudflap suffers from a [[design flaw]]: The connection holding his shoulders and upper arms together is very tight, and trying to swing his upper arms out to the side will occasionally result in the arms popping out of their plastic swivels.

==Controversy==
From watching ''Revenge of the Fallen'', it should be pretty obvious that the depiction of the Twins is rooted in racist stereotypes of African-Americans. Their illiteracy in [[Cyberglyphics]] is framed as "never learnin' to read", they speak in an overall stereotypical manner, and are generally shown to not be very clever and quick to violence. Furthermore, compared to the other Autobots (and even fellow black-coded movie Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]), their designs are visibly more hunched and ugly, with disfigured faces and a gold buck tooth on Skids. [[Tales of the Fallen issue 6|One later attempt]] to "smooth over" the problem would reveal that the pair act the way they do due to them being brain damaged, which only exacerbates the issue.

What's unclear is where exactly this imagery originated from: writers [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] claimed to have been following [[Michael Bay]]'s lead on the character, while Bay stated that it came from a piece of improv by actors [[Tom Kenny]] and [[Reno Wilson]]. Though Kenny, who is white, declined to comment when interviewed, Wilson, who is black, stated that they had been given direction to play the twins as "wannabe gangster types". This was apparently supposed to play off the fact that, as alien robots who had learned human language and culture from the internet, they could not be black, with Wilson likening them to white rappers like {{w|Kevin Federline}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090626132026/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/24/transformers-jivetalking-_n_220005.html Transformers' Jive-Talking Robots Raise Race Issues - The Huffington Post]</ref> What this means for Jazz, as well as the [[Brains|other]] [[Mohawk|characters]] Wilson has played, is unknown. Whatever the intent, nobody involved seems to want to be tied to the issue. Orci and Kurtzman have attempted to distance themselves from the characters, stating that the stereotypes weren't in their script.<ref>[http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/orci-and-kurtzman-respond-to-claims-of-racism-in-transformers-2.php Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman respond to claims of racism on ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Film School Rejects, June 24, 2009]</ref> For whatever reason, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' novel, written by Alan Dean Foster and based on Orci and Kurtzman's screenplay, only depicts ''Skids'' as the film-accurate slang-talker, while Mudflap speaks like any other Autobot, albeit with a thick lisp. Meanwhile, [[Simon Furman]]'s ''Revenge of the Fallen'' material has ''both'' of the twins using less slang; presumably, Furman likely did not wish to try his hand at "street".

Whatever the intended direction for the characters, the "wannabe gangster" shtick really doesn't come across in the finished project. [[Robert Epps]], the only prominent black human character in the film, is never shown having anything to say about them, for example. Ultimately, the Twins' portrayal was rightfully deemed pretty disgusting, and the resultant public backlash was likely what led the studio to quietly drop the pair partway into the filming of ''Dark of the Moon''. While their intended role in the film survived into that film's [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|novelization]] and [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation|comic book adaptation]], the Twins are thankfully not present in any future movie stories, and are indeed conspicuous by their absence in the cross-film ''[[Studio Series]]'' toyline.

==Notes==
* The ice cream truck is apparently based on a heavily customized 1930s Chevrolet truck.{{fact|confirmation needed}} [[Ben Procter]] apparently lifted the color scheme and deco for his early concept design for the ice cream truck<ref name="procterrotf">[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=2772 Ben Procter's ROTF concept art at Concept Art World.]</ref> ''directly'' off a photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck that had been added to the Wikipedia article for "ice cream van" in February 2006,<ref name="wikipediaice">{{w|File:Ice_Cream_Truck_Sydney_Australia_-_crop.png|Photo of an [[Australia]]n ice cream truck at Wikipedia, added in February 2006.}}</ref> down to identical placement and design of the fonts and graphics. The details were later slightly tweaked for the final design that can be seen in the movie... but only very slightly so.
*One of the decals on the ice cream truck's side that was created specifically for the movie reads "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]] suck my popsicle." Classy. Too bad the toy ''does not have'' this decal. (Because, you know, for kids...)
**A "censored" version of the movie is rumored to exist with the aforementioned text edited out, with the somewhat nonsensical result of "[[File:Symbol decept reg.png|15px]]           popsicle". This version was supposedly shown in some theaters even though other theaters in the same market apparently got the uncensored version. The more likely explanation for this would be that different theaters simply used different lightings settings, which effectively rendered the words "suck my" (which were written in dark red on a black backdrop to begin with) invisible, with no actual intention of "censorship" behind it.
[[File:ROTFSmartCarTwinConcept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Yeah, that's not phallic at all.]]
*In the brief scenes that the twins appear in robot mode while still in their ice cream truck-[[kibble]]d robot forms, both have four wheels present due to the redressing of their individual car-based robot CGI models. The wheels are considerably wider than the ones present on the ice cream truck too.
**Also, in the scanning scene, the pair both curl up into a ball and turn into their new vehicle forms in a burst of light, just as Skids did in his transformation mere seconds ago. This is likely due to the pair having very little screentime in those forms meaning proper transformations weren't animated.
*The Twins' final alternate modes in the film, the Chevrolet Beat (Skids) and Chevrolet Trax (Mudflap), were designed by General Motors as small car concept vehicles. At one point in the film's pre-production, another small car, the [[Mercedes-Benz]] {{w|Smart (automobile)|Smart}}, was evidently considered as an option for a film character; concept art of a "third twin" based on it appears in various sections of the ''Revenge'' DVD special features, always in close proximity to concept art of Skids and Mudflap. Whether it was meant to be a third character related to Skids and Mudflap or if it was supposed to be used in place of one of them is unknown. What '''is''' known is that [[Hasbro]] has had great difficultly in the past trying to get likeness licenses from German automakers, which is probably why the vehicle/character was dropped.
*Oddly enough, even though Mudflap's Chevy Trax [[alternate mode]] features big blue "eyes" on his chest and the truck seems to have a similar "face" on its grill that does not appear on his brother (and fellow [[combiner]]) Skids's Chevy Beat form, he makes up the ''back'' of the ice cream truck. He does, however, still have "eyes" on his chest in his ice cream truck form which are created from the rear taillights of the vehicle. This is evidenced in one scene from the movie where they are lit up the color of red.
*In their combined ice cream truck mode, the Twins sport the [[license plate]] "KDM 814". A minor variant of this, "KDM 0814" with an extra "0", was later used for the life-sized Bumblebee prop on various displays from 2009 upuntil at least 2011. For the individual cars, two different sets of license plates were apparently used, either "Trax" and "Beat" referencing their car models or "Mudflap" and "Skids", with the latter two being featured more prominently in the movie (the "BEAT" plate can be seen briefly during the New York City scene, and it's ''possible'' the "TRAX" plate was used for the same scene, although the car's plate is offscreen during that scene). All four plates were auctioned off in October 2009.<ref name="licenseauct">[http://www.icollector.com/Autobots-Skids-and-Mudfap-s-license-plates-from-Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen_i8633012 Mudflap and Skids license plates for auction] at icollector.com</ref> The auction claims that the plates referring to their car models were used in vehicle mode, while those identifying the two Autobots by name were used in robot mode... which is ''directly'' refuted by screencaps from the movie included with the auction, which show the robot name plates on the cars in vehicle mode. Also, the two ''real'' Chevrolet Trax and Beat cars the Twins scan already feature individualized license plates sporting their robot names. Huh.
*Amusingly, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro's Battle Bio] for Mudflap lists his arch-enemy as... [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]]. The Twins' RPMs two-pack is also called "Skids vs Mudflap".
*Despite promotional pictures and most of the merchandise made for Mudflap, in the film he is actually closer to red than orange. The RPM and Human Alliance figures are close to the actual character's colors in the film.
*Much like [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|the previous]] [[Mudflap (Movie)|two Mudflaps]], toys of this character tend to be [[shelfwarmer]]s. Maybe the ''name'' is cursed.

*Mudflap is one of many Autobots featured in Harold Attinger's card deck in Age of Extinction. His card wasn't visible in the movie, but revealed as a part of a prop auction.

:''Scorponok is a [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] and occasional [[Titan (group)|Titan]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Scorponok-Annual.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Scorponok's American design, taken from a British publication, based on a Japanese toy, manufactured in China.]]
Dangerous, wily, and cunning, '''Scorponok''' (aka '''MegaZarak''' and '''BlackZarak''') possesses both a keen mind and a great deal of raw, savage power. He is equally comfortable with maverick stratagems and brute force, though he's built more for the latter: his animalistic alternate form bristles with weapons, from multiple paired cannons and the dreaded electro-stinger in his tail, to the crushing grip of his mighty claws. These traits combine to make him both a terrifying foe on the battlefield and a serious contender for leadership of the Decepticons. Often, only his arch-foe [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] is capable of standing against him.

He is often partnered in some way with a being named [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
[[File:MarvelHeadmasters-2.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|And he'll form the head(master).]]
{{main|Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity}}
Leader of a contingent of Decepticons on war-torn Cybertron, Scorponok was the arch enemy of Autobot commander [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]]. After many clashes on Cybertron, their respective armies carried their fight to the peaceful organic world of [[Nebulos]], where Scorponok and many of his troops physically joined with that world's inhabitants to become [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. [[Binary bonding|Binary bonded]] with the Nebulan leader [[Zarak (G1)|Lord Zarak]], Scorponok pursued the Autobots across Nebulos and then across the stars to [[Earth]].

In the wake of the [[Underbase]] catastrophe, Scorponok became leader of Earth's surviving Decepticons. The binary bond with Zarak had unexpected consequences, and Scorponok often saw himself simply as an extension of Zarak's own self. With the coming of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], Scorponok accepted an alliance with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s Autobots, while Zarak came to terms with his role as a powerful Decepticon leader. Scorponok led his troops in a doomed final stand against the Chaos Bringer, ultimately falling before Unicron's might.

In one timeline, Scorponok's original head was reactivated, inheriting Zarak's scientific skills. He manipulated [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] into unleashing the [[Gene Key]], to turn Cybertron's population into Decepticons, but was eventually killed for good by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] leader.

[[File:Rebirth3-Scorponokmodes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Scorponok! Converts from robot to scorpion to city to... wait, is that a space ship]]
Scorponok was a gigantic Headmaster robot built from scratch by Lord Zarak, the secret ruler of Nebulos, upon learning of the Transformers. Working from the Headmaster process designed by the Autobot [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and later applied to his allies in the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]] and the Decepticons, Zarak used his mental powers to reconstruct the Hive's entire city into a robotic body for him to binary bond with. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} With Scorponok under his command, Zarak was able to retrieve the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber from the Autobots and carry the Decepticon forces back to Cybertron to reunite with Galvatron. In the end, a bolt of [[plasma energy]] zapped Scorponok in his city mode, launching the massive Headmaster (and the collected Decepticons inside) far out into space. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

====''Legends'' comic====
Zarak brought Scorponok to the [[Legends World]], where he disguised his city mode as a shopping center known as the Hive. After recruiting [[Flywheels]], he rampaged through the city as Scorponok until he was confronted by the Double-Headmasters, a combination of his Nebulon enemies and the local Autobots. He refused to become a Double-Headmaster himself by allowing Flywheels to form Scorponok's head, and ended up blasted through a portal back to where he came from. {{storylink|LGEX Headmaster Set Chapter}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
[[File:HtF-ZarakbecomesScorponokhead.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]

Under the control of the elder Zarak, Scorponok fought countless battles against Galvatron in the hope to seize power. He eventually passed away, leaving Scorponok to his son, [[Olin Zarak]]. As the new Scorponok, Olin eventually found himself under [[Cannonball (G1)|Cannonball]]’s employ. He worked as a manual laborer aboard the ''[[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]]'', but continued to long for glory. Worried that he suffered mental instability due to Scorponok still being attuned to his father’s brainwaves rather than his own, Olin planned to have Dr. [[Vez]] recalibrate the machine… but not until he could be sure he could fully trust the doctor. Olin insisted that the Scorponok exo-suit was not an intelligent being in its own right, [[Tornado]] expressed doubts about this statement, swearing a malign intelligence was silently observing him from within the mechanical scorpion, even when Olin was separated from it.

After the creature from "[[Demon's Maw]]" caused serious damage to the ''Tidal Wave'', Scorponok and his band of laborers were tasked with rebuilding the ship under [[Ferak]]’s supervision.

Scorponok was absent from the Star Seekers’ attack on [[Ventax II]], having instead been tasked in procuring a large energy production device from a building.

Scorponok later helped Ferak upgrade the Tidal Wave's transwarp engines in anticipation for Cannonball's greatest heist; robbing Cybertron of all of its energy... in the distant future! {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur}}

After using advanced transwarp mathematics to travel through time, Cannonball led Scorponok and the Star Seekers on a raid of the future Autobot outpost Galadria to access its space bridge nexus. Warping into the heart of Unicron's severed head, Cannonball intended to use the planet-eater's systems to drain Cybertron dry of energon. During the raid, Olin discovered the Cybertronian Knight [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] spying on them, and combined with Scorponok to detain him. As more Cybertronian Knights came to oppose the Star Seekers, Brimstone lent his rail gun mode to Scorponok to ward them off. During the fight, Scorponok was knocked out by [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]] and captured alongside the rest of the crew. {{storylink|Hoist the Flag}}

Tornado's log indicated that Scorponok escaped capture by the Knights and made it back to the Tidal Wave, but Tornado opined that Scorponok may have taken that opportunity to mutiny. Although Cannonball eventually escaped and was back in control of the Tidal Wave, later logs referred to Scorponok's "former quarters". {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur}}

===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
{{note|In this continuity, in a reverse of the standard western naming, Scorponok is the name of the being who becomes the ''head'' of the giant robot, taking the place of Lord Zarak in Japanese fiction. When Scorponok is attached to his giant [[transtector]] body, he is properly referred to as '''MegaZarak''' (メガザラック ''Megazarakku''), much like how Fortress becomes "Fortress Maximus" when in his large form. Scorponok's size varies over the series, from human-sized to full Transformer-sized.}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Banjō Ginga]] (Japanese)|[[Jack Murphy]] (English), [[Fang Shuqiao]] (Chinese)}}

[[File:Scorponok headmasters shadows.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Well-manicured eeeeevil.]]
Scorponok was one of a group of diminutive Transformers who left Cybertron four million years ago to escape the Great War and took up residence on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. To survive the harsh environmental conditions on Master, the Transformers built large, lifeless robotic bodies called [[Transtector]]s, to which they could connect as heads, increasing their size and power. Scorponok underwent the training to become one of these "Headmasters," but he chafed under the leadership of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]], and he led several like-minded Headmaster warriors in a rebellion that ultimately ended with their defeat and exile from Master. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

By the year [[2011]], Scorponok had teamed up with Galvatron and the Decepticons, and his three minions, [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]], Mindwipe, and [[Skullcruncher (G1)|Skullcruncher]], joined Galvatron's forces in an attack on Cybertron in 2011. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Scorponok himself, on the other hand, refrained from making appearances on the battlefield, sticking to the shadows (in the most preposterously literal way imaginable) and emerging only to lure the Autobot Headmasters into a trap on the planet [[Praum]]. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}} Not long thereafter, when Galvatron discovered that [[Vector Sigma]] was in the midst of developing a powerful [[Cybertonuron|new alloy]], Scorponok advised against attacking the planet, suggesting instead that they destroy the alloy, rather than risk the Autobots gaining control of it. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} In truth, Scorponok was more concerned about ''Galvatron'' obtaining the alloy's power, and determined to stop anyone from acquiring it by taking out Cybertron itself. He had Mindwipe plant powerful bombs in Vector Sigma's chamber, which went off and devastated the planet, ostensibly taking Galvatron with it. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

[[File:Scorponok headmasters smallrobot.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|"Mine is an evil laugh! Moo hoo ha ha!"]]
Scorponok subsequently took control of the Decepticons, falsely claiming that Galvatron was alive and commanding him from afar. He immediately put a series of far-reaching plans into action, starting with the creation of a massive Transtector for himself, which would put him on equal footing with Fortress and his Transtector-scum-battleship, the ''Maximus''. Enslaved [[Beastformer]]s were put to work on the planet [[Zarak (planet)|Zarak]] to construct this Transtector, and to provide it with power, Scorponok had the Decepticons steal [[Sol 1]], a human solar-energy-gathering satellite, which beamed its power reserves to Zarak. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} To distract the Autobots from his plans, he ordered Sixshot to attack Earth, so the heroes would focus their efforts on defending the planet. While the construction was going on, meanwhile, Scorponok focused his attention on harnessing the power of the [[plasma energy]] released in the destruction of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}} As part of his efforts to distract the Autobots, Scorponok sent the [[buridanka]] to Earth and [[Athenia]], but was shocked when Fortress revealed his mighty transtector's robot mode to defeat it. {{Storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}}

[[File:Scorponok headmasters scorpionmode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Claws...check. Stinger...check. Multiple gun turrets...check. Giant, vulnerable weak spot dead center on the chest...check mate.]]
Seeking to generate even more of plasma energy for his plans of universal conquest, Scorponok used the energy he had already obtained to create bombs that were planted beneath the surface of [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], which would rip the planet apart. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} While the Autobots were busy fighting the Decepticon contingent on Mars to prevent the planet's destruction, Scorponok unveiled his completed MegaZarak transtector to the rest of the Decepticons on [[Chaar]], stepping from the shadows for the first time as he brought all his troops aboard his new battleship-body and flew to Mars. Once there, MegaZarak transformed into [[robot mode]] and spitefully attacked the immobile Fortress Maximus before fleeing into space just before his plasma bombs detonated and blew Mars to cosmic rubble. The Maximus was able to absorb some of the energy released in the initial stages of the explosion, and Fortress was able to transform into Fortress Maximus and escape the blast. Fortress Maximus cleaved MegaZarak shoulder with his [[Master Sword]], forcing the Decepticons to retreat. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

[[File:Scorponok headmasters megazarak.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|"Hello? My visor seems to have fallen down over my face. Little help?"]]
Believing that his deeds had cemented his position of power, Scorponok arranged to be coronated the new Decepticon emperor on Earth's moon, but in the midst of the ceremony, Galvatron returned alive and well and retook leadership. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} Subservient to Galvatron for the moment, MegaZarak and the other Decepticons once attempted to stop Autobot assistance to [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], but failed. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}} On MegaZarak's suggestion, Galvatron had the Decepticons distract the Autobots with a trap before departing to plunder other planets for their energy. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}} MegaZarak transformed to robot mode to battle Fortress Maximus on [[Hive (planet)|Hive]], but the Decepticons were still forced off-planet. {{storylink|Fight to the Death on Planet Hive!!}} MegaZarak then took the Decepticons to [[Twin Star|Sperity]], but they were fooled into thinking the planet was bereft of energy and left. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} They next went to [[Daros]], where they entered an alliance with the planet's decadent ruling class for energy, leaving when the Autobots and the oppressed populace joined forces to overthrow the corrupt government. It was on Daros that the Autobots met a Beastformer named [[Tekna]] who gave them valuable data about MegaZarak's weak spot at the cost of his life. {{storylink|Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!}} The Decepticons made final stops at [[Paradise]] {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}} and the [[Pirate Planet]], but were nevertheless again and again repelled by Fortress and his Autobots. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}} When the Decepticons returned to Earth, diminishing MegaZarak's immediate usefulness to Galvatron, the wicked Headmaster returned to this own schemes, ignoring Galvatron's orders {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} and planting more plasma energy bombs along the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]].

[[File:Hm26 prepare to die.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Everything turned around for Scorponok when Galvatron faced the Autobot Headmasters alone in a battle in Alaska, and was finally destroyed when they collapsed an iceberg on top of him. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} This allowed Scorponok to once again seize leadership of the Decepticons, appointing himself the "Emperor of Terror" and resuming his plan for the destruction of Earth by attempting the detonation of his plasma bombs. After [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] decoded Tekna's data, he raced to Earth where a battle was already in progress and gave Fortress Maximus the information, allowing the Autobot leader to perforate MegaZarak's weak spot, and send the critically wounded Decepticon fleeing off into space. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}}

[[File:HM35 Maximus unleashes power.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Moving his attentions away from Earth for the time being, Scorponok led the Decepticons back to planet Master in search of a weapon to counter the power of Fortress's Master Sword. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} The Autobots pursued them, which unfortunately resulted in [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] being captured by the villains and ransomed for the secrets of the Master Sword. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Using this information, Scorponok forged the [[Zarak Shield]] out of [[G-Metal]], {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} and when the two weapons clashed, the Zarak Shield emerged triumphant. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}} Emboldened by this victory, Scorponok led the charge back to Earth, {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}} intending to finally destroy it, pausing only in the asteroid belt to effect repairs on his Transtector, and to betray and dispose of [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], whom he had never trusted. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

Upon his return to Earth, Scorponok promptly had the Decepticon launch an energy-gathering satellite into orbit, and then withdrew to the sunken continent of [[Lemuria (myth)|Lemuria]], where already had numerous Decepticons working to mine the legendary [[crysmagnetal]]. Scorponok raised "Death Towers" of this metal in five strategic location all over Earth all, which proceeded to generate waves of energy that were gathered by the satellite. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} For the final part of his plan, MegaZarak lured the Autobots to the North Pole, where he clashed with Fortress Maximus for the last time atop a sixth dais of crysmagnetal. As soon as the two combatants were upon the dais, MegaZarak had the satellite beam its stored energy down into his Transtector, and through it into the dais, creating an exponential loop that threatened to tear the Earth apart. Scorponok disconnected from his Transtector and retreated into space with the Decepticons to watch the Earth's destruction, only for Fortress Maximus—supercharged with the combined energy of the Autobot army united in a [[Head Formation]]—to destroy his Transtector, breaking the circuit and saving the Earth. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}
{{-}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
Vector Prime stated that when Scorponok arranged for the plasma bombing and [[Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2|devastation of Cybertron]], he also damaged the stable axis of [[G1 World|the core reality]]. Several divergent universal streams and contradictory timelines emerged as a result of [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|the network]] being based upon this unstable reality. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/11}}

In [[Primax 304.25-P3 Zeta|one segment]] of the system, Scorponok dispatched [[Fenris]]'s team of [[Pretender]]s to acquire the [[Ultra Matrix]] from [[Beast (planet)|Beast]]. They were foiled, however, by a team of Autobot Pretenders led by [[Marduk]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/30}}

====''Super-God Masterforce Master File''====
With the Decepticons at last forced off of Earth, the Autobots also left the planet, and Transformers' war transitioned into a series of space-based exchanges between Chaar and [[Athenia]], which became known as the [[Master Wars]]. To rejoin the fight, Scorponok had a new Transtector constructed, much smaller than his old one (comparatively speaking – it was still taller than a [[combiner]]), but outfitted with hyper-dense armor. Before he could connect with this new body, Scorponok was captured by the mysterious alien entity [[Devil Z]], who had been in hibernation on Earth until recently, and saw a use for Scorponok in his plan to create the ultimate lifeform. Devil Z brainwashed Scorponok, placing him, and by extension the entire Decepticon army, under his control, and then allowed him to link up with his new Transtector. Rather than forming the head for his Transtector, however, Scorponok controlled it from within its chest cavity, wired directly into its systems from there, with a new "decoy" head placed between its shoulders. Now, Scorponok was '''BlackZarak''' (ブラックザラック ''BurakkuZarakku'').

The former Decepticon ninja, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], learned what had befallen Scorponok, and alerted the Autobots to the existence of Devil Z on Earth. The news of this shadowy controller reached the Autobots just as the [[Trainbot]]s reported the first sighting of BlackZarak in the shadows of a meteor cluster, and the concerned Autobots decided to send a collection of Transtectors to the small Autobot group under the command of [[Metalhawk (Masterforce)|Metalhawk]] that was still on Earth, which he used to transform human beings into Autobot warriors to aid in the battle against Devil Z's forces. {{storylink|Master File No, 1}}

Archive footage of Fortress Maximus destroying the MegaZarak transtector was used to educate the future [[Headmaster Junior]]s about the [[Master Wars]]. {{storylink|Birth! Headmaster Jrs}}

After numerous failures by Devil Z's forces on Earth resulted in multiple [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]] warriors joining the Autobot ranks instead of the Decepticons, the incensed alien summoned BlackZarak to Earth. Observing BlackZarak's activities, Fortress Maximus's younger brother, [[Grand Maximus]], raced to Earth ahead of him and warned the Autobots of his coming. In preparation for BlackZarak's arrival, the Autobots worked to construct a power-up drone named [[Godbomber]] for their most powerful member, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]]. {{storylink|Life? Death? The Desperate Lightfoot}} While they worked, the approaching BlackZarak bombarded the Earth with meteors as part of a complicated scheme by Devil Z's ambassadors, [[Giga]] and [[Mega]] to publicly discredit the Autobots, which was ultimately foiled. {{storylink|Expose the Decepticons' Dark Trap!}}

BlackZarak's threat loomed for a while {{storylink|Super Ginrai Gets Blown Away in the Desert!?}} and when he made his way to Earth's orbit, Giga and Mega combined into their robot form of [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] and headed to Earth's moon to rendezvous with BlackZarak. {{storylink|Will the Bomber Project Be Destroyed!?}} But before BlackZarak arrived, Ginrai merged with the completed Godbomber, and pursued him into space. BlackZarak showed up in the midst of their battle, and promptly impaled Ginrai with his [[Tyrant Spear]], sending him crashing to the moon's surface. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Into the Sky!!}} BlackZarak and Overlord followed him down to the moon, and hunted the wounded Autobot, who was in dire straits until the timely arrival of Grand Maximus. With the sides now more evenly matched, the two Decepticons attempted to break off the battle and head for Earth, but Ginrai and Grand brought them back down to the moon with a bump. BlackZarak instructed the damaged Overlord to flee the battle, and although he was furious at being ordered around by this newcomer, Overlord could do little to argue, and left BlackZarak to face the two Autobots alone. Grand and Ginrai double-teamed BlackZarak, and eventually, Ginrai was able to decapitate the Decepticon with his God Fire Guts attack. Although Ginrai thought his opponent was done for, BlackZarak's headless body hauled itself back up, and retreated off into space, with Grand Maximus hot on his tail. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Showdown on the Surface of the Moon}} The defeat of both Overlord and BlackZarak upset the Earth-bound Decepticons, who swore vengeance on Ginrai. {{storylink|Overlord - Terror of the Chōkon Tornado}} Footage of BlackZarak's battle on the Moon eventually made its way to [[Clouder]]'s hands, who used it as impetus to join the conflict. {{Storylink|Appearance!! The Final Godmaster}}

[[File:Blackzarak scorpion mode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|The scorched remains of two fans who wouldn't stop asking why Devil Z made so many Autobot Transtectors.]]
During this extended stay in space, BlackZarak mastered localized gravity manipulation and gained the ability to open black holes, which he could use to teleport himself across the galaxy at will. After trapping Grand Maximus inside one of these singularities in order to keep him out of the way, BlackZarak teleported directly to Earth and immediately tore through [[New York City]] as part of Devil Z's "Operation M-1". He proceeded to attack [[Tokyo]] alongside Overlord, but was foiled when Ginrai freed Grand Maximus, and the two Autobots stopped the villains by tricking them into blasting each other. {{storylink|BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space}} With the failure of this scheme, Devil Z initiated "Operation M-2" and had BlackZarak withdraw to the far side of the moon, where he would unleash the atmosphere-destroying [[Death Para-Machine]] against the Earth. Thankfully, BlackZarak was only able to get off one shot from the deadly weapon before Ginrai destroyed it with his God Fire Guts attack. {{storylink|Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction}}

[[File:Blackzarak dakatsu mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|A dog chasing its own tail has nothing on Hydra Mode.]]
BlackZarak returned to attacking cities around the globe, and soon struck in a city where [[Cancer (Masterforce)|Cancer]] went to, with a trio of [[Sparkdash]] drones to back him up. Luckily, Autobot Godmaster [[Road King]] was on patrol in the area, and soon called him Ginrai to help him take BlackZarak down. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}} When the Decepticons formulated a trap, BlackZarak was sent to [[Moscow]] as part of a divide and conquer strategy. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} After battling Grand Maximus there, BlackZarak returned to the Decepticon base when the Autobots attacked it. During this clash, Devil Z took his brainwashing to the next level, and actually merged his consciousness with BlackZarak, entering his body and taking control of it himself. For his first act in BlackZarak's body, Devil Z collapsed the Decepticon base in a failed attempt to destroy the Autobots {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}} and then led the Decepticons in an attack on North America, bombarding the country with his [[Devil Power]] from a strategic staging point in the heart of the [[Grand Canyon]], {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}} continuing till Devil Z ordered the Decepticons to move to Europe. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}}

Devil Z took the Decepticons to the peak of the Matterhorn, where he unleashed his Devil Power upon the continent until God Ginrai arrived to challenge him. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} The battle was fierce, and Ginrai thought he had won when he once again cleaved BlackZarak's head from his shoulders, but the decapitation of his host meant little to Devil Z, who simply transformed BlackZarak's body into a new, twin-headed serpent form, and kept the fight going. Uniting his Chōkon Power with that of the [[Headmaster Junior]]s, Ginrai unleashed his most powerful God Fire Guts yet and dove through BlackZarak's body, finally destroying the giant Decepticon in a huge explosion that left only ash and shrapnel. Although Devil Z survived the blast, he now no longer had BlackZarak's body to enclose him, and was wide open for Ginrai's finishing move: the Final Fire Guts, which utterly obliterated the evil alien. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

=====''Legends'' comic=====
Years prior to his departure from Master, Scorponok kidnapped six of his fellow 'bots and exposed them to a sample of plasma energy in search of a method to use the energy to power himself up. The experiment was interrupted by Fortress, marking the beginning of Scorponok's open rebellion against him. He tried to recapture his test subjects on his return to Master, prompting them to flee and end up becoming Targetmasters. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}}

[[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] told [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], visiting from the [[Legends World]], the story about how he and other diminutive Transformers, including Scorponok, left Cybertron to escape the war and settled on Master. He then destroyed a returned Scorponok's Transtector with a powerful blast as proof that despite their size, life on the inhospitable planet had only made them stronger. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 9|Bonus Edition Vol. 9}} Reflecting on his easy victory over such a mighty opponent, Brainstorm would later realize he had been temporarily powered up by Rattrap's presence. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 39|Bonus Edition Vol. 39}} [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] would later mention that the Autobot Headmasters needed to train in case recent rumors that Scorponok had returned again were true. {{storylink|Transformers 2015 Brainstorm Chapter#Part 1|Brainstorm Chapter Part 1}}

By [[2021]], Scorponok did indeed reveal himself to have the battle with Brainstorm and continued his feud with the Autobots. Consumed by his lust for revenge against Fortress, he detonated a [[black hole]] in order to both destroy the Autobots and produce plasma energy for himself, indifferent to the fact that his own troops were in range of the explosion. His plan failed as the Autobots were able to recover much of the explosives, causing the black hole to instead divide into "[[blackball]]s" that infested the bodies of everyone present. {{storylink|Headmaster Chapter Prologue}} While his troops traveled to the [[Legends World]], Scorponok remained in the [[G1 World]] and wandered space. Devil Z, resurrected in the Legends World, remotely brainwashed him and had him return to Beast and enslave Beastformers to build two new transtectors. This resulted in a new BlackZarak as well as the gigantic [[Majin Zarak]], a beast so gigantic Scorponok didn't even form part of it but piloted it like a vehicle. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One|Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One}}

When Devil Z was resurrected, Weirdwolf recalled with resentment how they'd lost BlackZarak to him. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 35|Bonus Edition Vol. 35}} Devil Z also remembered how he had taken control of BlackZarak, and repeated the trick by wiring [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] into the chest of the [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] Transtector while he himself controlled it from the head. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 36|Bonus Edition Vol. 36}} When Devil Z broke free from his restraints in the Legends World, he brought the brainwashed Scorponok and BlackZarak transtector to the Legends World and reformed the hybrid Devil Z/BlackZarak being. Devil Z attempted to kill every living thing in the Legends World so that he could use its native energies all for himself, but he was stopped in his tracks by [[Grand Maximus]] and the [[Masterforce]] users residing in the Legends World. Devil Z and the BlackZarak transtector were destroyed at the battle's conclusion, although Scorponok was spared. {{Storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Grand Maximus}}

Freed from Devil Z's influence, Scorponok immediately thought of a plan to produce energy by using the plasma-infused [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] partners as bombs to blow up the Legends World. In order to keep the world's defenders busy, he brought over Majin Zarak and began causing chaos while his troops abducted the Targetmasters. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One|Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One}} While his creation seemed unbeatable, sabotage at the hands of Beastformers allowed the defenders of the Legends World to force Majin Zarak and Scorponok through a dimensional portal, causing them both to disappear to some unknown location. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger!

[[File:ZarakZone1.jpg|left|thumb|Aye aye aye—sharpen your boot, and bludgeon your eye]]
Several years after the conclusion of the [[Masterforce War]], when the supernatural entity [[Violen Jiger]] seized control of the Decepticons, one of his first actions was to recruit "[[Nine Great Demon Generals]]" from Decepticon history. Violen Jiger assigned BlackZarak to serve as his "Evil Spirit General", and outfitted him with new armor and weapons to make him more deadly than ever before.

[[File:Zone blackzarak.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Aye aye aye—the blarney stone brings a tear to me eye]]
BlackZarak was part of the team of generals who attacked planet [[Micro|Zone]] in order to steal its precious [[Energon Z]] for Violen Jiger's schemes, but BlackZarak refrained from participating in the assault, hanging back on the fringes of the planet's atmosphere to cover his allies' rear. As his fellow generals made good their escape with the Energon Z in hand, BlackZarak barred the way of the [[Super Car Patrol Team]] and [[Battle Patrol]] as they attempted to pursue in the [[Rocket Base|Galaxy Rocket]]. The Demon General managed to trap the rocket in a crackling field of electricity, and then departed to rejoin his fellow Decepticons, leaving the electric net to slowly destroy the rocket. Luckily for the Autobots, the [[Jet Patrol Team]] arrived to destroy the net, and [[Sunrunner (G1)|Sunrunner]] proceeded to use his radar to track BlackZarak back to the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

====''Super-God Masterforce'' manga continuity====
=====''Super-God Masterforce'' manga=====
[[File:Blackzarak manga.jpg|left|thumb|Black-and-WhiteZarak]]
When it became apparent that the small force under his command on Earth lacked the manpower to handle the Autobots, Devil Z chose to unite them with the Decepticons in space, and ordered the combined army to attack Athenia. Ginrai (who was on the planet at the time to be appointed Supreme Commander of the Autobots) was able to win the battle by defeating [[Scramble 7]], but after the fight, BlackZarak made his first appearance before the Autobots, carrying Hydra, Buster and the Decepticon Headmasters, who announced that they were returning to Earth. {{storylink|The Battle Begins! The United Earth-Space Troops}}

BlackZarak joined the Decepticons in travelling to Earth, battling [[Raiden]] and the Autobot Headmasters outside the planet's atmosphere while Ginrai confronted Overlord for the first time down on its surface. After defeating his opponents, BlackZarak turned towards Earth, only to find Ginrai streaking towards him, with Overlord in close pursuit. At the last moment, Ginrai spun out of the way, causing the two Decepticons to accidentally strike each other, and damage one another quite badly. While the wounded Overlord returned to Earth, BlackZarak limped back off into space. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Super-God Combination!}}

BlackZarak later battled Grand Maximus and the Autobot Godmasters in space, with the aid of [[Darkwings]], {{storylink|The Earth Families of Good and Evil}} after which Devil Z spirited him away to carry out some upgrades. {{storylink|Decepticons' Great Counterattack!}} These upgrades complete, BlackZarak was soon returned to Earth, and joined Overlord in attacking another city, where he wound up battling Grand Maximus and the Autobots Godmasters once more. {{storylink|Live? Die?! The Desperate Super-God Combination}} Later, BlackZarak attacked China with a trio of [[Sparkdash|Sparkdash drones]]. Decepticon Headmaster Junior [[Cancer (Masterforce)|Cancer]] happened to be in the city at the time, and when the Autobots arrived to battle BlackZarak, he displayed his disdain for humans—even comrades—by seizing Cancer and using him as a shield to keep the Autobots at bay. It was then that Overlord arrived, and surprised everyone by viciously attacking BlackZarak, disgusted by his treatment of Cancer. While the two Decepticons were fighting, the Autobots exploited their conflict to attack and force them to retreat. {{storylink|Great Turn-Around! Autobots}}

[[File:Devilz head on!.jpg|thumb|Head? I don't need a head. Heads are for wimps!]]
Overlord's betrayal proved to be the last straw for Devil Z, and he took matters into his own hands by connecting himself to BlackZarak's Transtector as a new head of sorts. Now in control of the Decepticon's body and mind, he transformed BlackZarak into a new serpentine form, and attacked Overlord, the Headmaster Juniors and Ginrai, intending to absorb their [[Chōkon Power|Jinchōkon]], in order to transform himself into the ultimate lifeform. His Jinchōkon-absorbing beam was blocked by the wholly-robotic Autobot [[Pretender]]s, and the Autobots and Decepticons united to destroy Devil Z and BlackZarak for good. Uniting their powers in the "Perfect Transform Attack", all the Autobots and Decepticons boarded Grand Maximus, who collided with BlackZarak, destroying the Decepticon and his alien passenger in an explosion of pure Chōkon Power. {{storylink|The Birth of the Super Lifeforms}}

[[File:Blackzarak zone manga.jpg|left|thumb]]
Years after the end of the Masterforce War on Earth, the creature known as [[Violen Jiger]] took control of the Decepticon forces and created an elite fighting force by recruiting "[[Nine Great Demon Generals]]" from throughout Transformer history. BlackZarak was selected to be one of these generals, and Violen Jiger used his strange, supernatural powers to bring the Decepticon back from the dead, dubbing him his "Evil Spirit General" and increasing his strength with new armor and weaponry. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}}

BlackZarak was part of the contingent of generals sent to planet Zone to steal its super-energy, Energon Z, for Violen Jiger. After his fellow Decepticons succeeded in purloining the Energon Z, BlackZarak covered their escape, seizing the Galaxy Rocket carrying the pursuing Autobots in an unbreakable grip. He proceeded to coat the rocket in a cocoon of strange energy webbing and then departed to join his fellow generals, but fortunately for the Autobots, the Jet Patrol Team arrived to cut them free before they lost BlackZarak's trail. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}}

BlackZarak later attacked Earth, and met resistance in the form of [[Landshaker]] and [[Sky Hyper]]. BlackZarak seized Landshaker, easily shrugging off Skyhyper's blasts, but was suddenly stunned by a barrage from [[Sonic Bomber]], as he and Dai Atlas came swooping onto the battlefield. Exploiting the opening, Dai Atlas fired on BlackZarak, proving once again that the Autobots' desire to save their comrades would always best the Decepticons' evil. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 5}}

Along with the other Generals, BlackZarak schooled [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] and the [[Metrosquad]] in the ways of evil, making them formidable opponents for the [[Powered Master]]s. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 7}}

Scorponok was originally a large, mobile Decepticon base on [[Nebulos]]. {{storylink|Decepticons at the Pole}} Through means unknown, he became a Transformer, as well as smaller and sentient, and took command of the Decepticon forces from [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]].

He matched wits with Optimus Prime himself, at one point trying to lure him into surrendering in exchange for a hostage's life. {{storylink|Autobot Hostage}} Eventually, the Autobots became too big a nuisance, and Scorponok had the Decepticons move en masse to a secret underground city in the Nebulos Triangle, but this backfired when the Autobots sealed him and his army underground for good. {{storylink|Decepticons Underground}}

===Swamp of the Scorpion===
{{notemultipath}}
The mighty city Scorponok lay dormant deep within Nebulos's vast jungle-swamp. In this mode, he served as Lord Zarak's base of operation while Zarak plotted to steal Nebulos's oil supply to further his dreams of conquest. Opposing him were [[you|a young Nebulan]] and the Autobot Highbrow. Whether or not Scorponok and the other Decepticons succeeded in their plot depended on the decisions you made! {{storylink|Swamp of the Scorpion}}

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
Seeking a new [[Energon]] source, the Decepticons flew Scorponok to an out-of-the-way asteroid, where he served as a base of operations. When a fight inevitably broke out, Scorponok flew to the battle scene. After he pucked up [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and tossed the Autobot into the distance, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] angrily bodyslammed him, and the pair began grappling. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

Scorponok, accompanied by [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Octane]], intercepted [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]], as the Autobot was heading for [[Andellor]]. Scorponok threatened to destroy the Autobot unless he revealed where he was headed. Cosmos complied, but Scorponok was keen on destroying him anyway. Cyclonus insisted they investigate, and recalled the history of Andellor. Scorponok realised that the [[Prism of Power]] which Cosmos sought was the only thing that could stop the Decepticon's new weapon, the [[suspension-ray beam]]. Down on the planet, the three Decepticons ventured into a cave and were attacked, first by some tentacles from a pool, and finally by [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. Ironhide shrugged off Scorponok's mightiest blast, and defeated both him and Cyclonus. {{storylink|Transformers in 3-D issue 2|Transformers in 3-D #2}}

After the [[Clone (subgroup)|Clone]]s failed to obtain the coordinates to [[Metascan Alpha]], Zarak mocked Galvatron's skills and, combining with Scorponok, reasserted that he was leader of the Decepticons now. While the pair were still in disagreement, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] broke into their base with the intention of destroying Galvatron's [[Nullification Cannon]]. During the battle, Scorponok took a swing at Prime which accidentally connected with the Cannon, causing it to explode. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

In heavy disguise, they went in and got the drop on the bank tellers, only for [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] to turn up. The Decepticons called in [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]], who ripped the roof off the bank and disposed of the three Autobots. Scorponok subsequently cracked open the safe and passed the [[energon]] inside to Spinister for delivery to Megatron. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 1}} Scorponok and Barricade carried the completed weapon over to [[Hightower (Kre-O)|Hightower]] to be set up. When Wheeljack and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] invaded the work site, Scorponok helped in their capture, only to be pelted with molten cheese when they turned out to be a diversion.

===''Transformers vs. G.I. Joe''===
A city on Megatron-dominated Cybertron, {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend}} Scorponok was known as a "city of madness" where unspeakable things took place. When several Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|Joes]] were captured by the Decepticons, the [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] carried them to Scorponok for punishment. {{storylink|Expelled from the Garden}} [[Billy (G.I. Joe)|Billy]] and [[Snake-Eyes|Snake Eyes]] battled atop Scorponok's claws, resulting in the former losing his right arm and leg. {{storylink|FCBD Funnies}} Within Scorponok, Decepticobra constructed the artificial town of [[Springfield (G.I. Joe)|Springfield]] where [[Doctor Mindbender]] brainwashed the captured Joes into thinking they were just ordinary citizens. As Scorponok was facing off against [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Scarlett]] was able to fight off the influence and kill Scorponok's [[Nebulos|Neb'los]] Headmaster, Mo Zarak, after which she herself took control of the scorpion-city. {{storylink|Headmasters (issue)|Headmasters}} Optimus Prime stood atop of Scorponok when he repaired Bumblebee back to working order, leading to word spreading that Optimus had "tamed" the Decepticon war machine. {{storylink|Pax Megatronus}}

When [[Primus]] began transforming, Scorponok fled with the rest of the Autobots to avoid getting crushed. {{storylink|Escape from Primus}} Scarlett, now going by "Zkarlett", then had Scorponok meet up with Fortress Maximus so that she could share a moment with [[Snake-Eyes]], who was similarly in control of Maximus. Together, they then used their city-bot bodies to help convince [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] to transform into robot mode and join them in fighting the Decepticon army. {{storylink|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe issue 12|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #12}} During the final battle, Scorponok and Maximus took on Megatron's "Mega-Megatron" combiner form, which dwarfed even them. After the Autobots and Joes were victorious, Scarlett brought Scorponok with her to Earth and positioned the city on the new continent, where it became home to victims of the Springfield incident and other displaced peoples and refugees. She and Snake-Eyes lived in a log cabin built on the tip of its tail. {{storylink|The War Never Ends}}

In [[Primax 1086.0 Kappa]], Scorponok and Fortress Maximus were both killed by Nebulans during the Transformers' battle on Nebulos, and their remains were fused together by Mortilus Zarak into a giant robot body under his control. After he binary bonded with the body, however, the faint traces of Scorponok and Maximus's sparks began affecting his mind, eventually driving him mad and turning him into "[[Zarak Maximus]]". {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/11}}

===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===
According to reports by [[Punch (G1)|Punch]], his alter-ego Counterpunch had worked his way into being a trusted advisor to Scorponok. Whether or not this actually happened is uncertain given the conflict between the two personas. {{storylink|The Truth We Make}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
When the devastating Transformer war spread to Nebulos, the Decepticon saboteur [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]] and the Nebulan genius [[Borx|Fausto Borx]] colluded to transform the city of [[Kinodia]] into the towering superweapon MegaZarak: the first "double-Headmaster", jointly piloted by their binary-bonded intellects. Bolstered by this new addition, the Decepticons briefly enjoyed the upper hand during the Nebulan campaign - but their joy would short-lived, as the Autobots retaliated by binary-bonding [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] into Fortress Maximus. The battle between these two titans devastated the already ravaged world. Though MegaZarak was the stronger of the two city-bots, the Autobots used [[Llyra]]—daughter of Fausto and mate of their human ally [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]—as a distraction, and MegaZarak's brief hesitation cost him the fight. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}}

Though Fortress Maximus emerged triumphant, Nebulos would never again support life, and races across the galaxy would forever immortalize the tragedy as the "[[Scouring of Nebulos]]." {{storylink|Head Games}} MegaZarak saw action again several years later on the planet [[Master (planet)|Rebirth]]; by that point, Zarak had replaced Borx with the [[Cyberdroid]]s [[Abraham Dante|Dante]] and [[Caliburn (BWU)|Caliburn]]. When the Autobots arrived to liberate the world from Decepticon control, the Decepticons deployed MegaZarak against Fortress Maximus. This time, MegaZarak succeeded in toppling his old foe and the Autobots were forced to retreat. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}} {{storylink|Derailment}}

At some point after this, Dante was unwillingly replaced by [[Olin Zarak|the grandson]] of Fausto Borx. MegaZarak was later destroyed under unspecified circumstances in another battle with Fortress Maximus at the very end of the Great War, presumably taking Zarak with him. {{storylink|Derailment}}

The [[Scorponok (group)|Scorponok]] were created by the [[Quintesson]]s, though much like the Cybertronians, they were treated poorly. The Scorponok never fought back, leaving their home destroyed and its people killed, except for one individual {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 4}} aboard [[Nebulos|Nebulon]] Station, an outpost jammed between a constantly active space bridge. This Scorponok awakened when the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''-bound Autobots entered the station intending to explode it to pass through the space bridge. Declaring the Autobots an infestation, he killed a [[Security Officer (G1)|Security Officer]] and fought with the Autobots, including a hologram of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] created by [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] shortly joined the skirmish and knocked Scorponok down a chasm, though he merely transformed and rose up in his gigantic robot mode. After killing another Security Officer, he gave chase to the fleeing Autobots, though they managed to buy time behind a reinforced door. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 3}}.

Scorponok busted down the door and resumed the fight against the Autobots. Nearly killing Optimus Prime, he was stopped by the arrival of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and his ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''-bound Decepticons. After numerous attacks from both sides and tossing aside an annoying [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], Scorponok transformed and disrupted the duel between Optimus Prime and Megatron, only for the former to throw and shoot a charge in Scorponok's face.

[[File:EarthriseEp4PrimeRidingScorp.jpg|thumb|300px|"COME HERE!"]]

Arising from the rubble, he once again engaged in a fight with the Autobots and Decepticons, who discovered his weak point was his head. Optimus Prime leaped onto Scorponok's back and slung the disconnected wires on the ground around his neck to ride him, leaving the giant scorpion angered to be once again enslaved. After a failed attempt to kill Optimus Prime thanks to Megatron's interference, Scorponok fled.

Later, Optimus Prime accused Megatron of having Quintesson-like behavior, which attracted the ire of Scorponok, who explained how cruel the Quintessons were and how Megatron is not too dissimilar to a [[Quintesson Judge|Judge]]. A furious Megatron blasted Scorponok which provoked the latter to attack the Decepticons, giving the Autobots time to disable the station's gravity controls and flee to the ''Ark''. Starscream, in a gambit for power, used the ''Nemesis'' cannons at max-power to destroy the Autobots and Megatron, with the resulting explosion presumably taking Scorponok with it. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 4}}

==Commercial appearances==
[[File:Scorponok-Rebirth.jpg|thumb|stupid sexy scorponok]]
Scorponok has an odd history of [[Commercial|television commercial]] appearances:
*Scorponok grappled with [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] on [[Nebulos|Nebulon]], while other [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targemasters]] scuffled around them. Scorponok was lifted into the air by his tail, and tossed about like a ragdoll by his opponent. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Headmaster comic book|Headmaster comic book commercial}}
*When the Technobots attacked his base mode, Scorponok transformed to scorpion mode and retaliated under Galvatron's orders. Galvatron then ordered his "[[Triple Changer]] Headmaster base" to transform to robot mode and deal with the enemy when the Technobots combined. Scorponok ripped a boulder out the nearby ground and bashed Computron with it. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Computron and Scorponok|Technobots and Scorponok commercial}}
*In [[1990]], a Scorponok toy painted white and gray appeared in the stop-motion animated toy segment of a commercial advertising the [[Hot Rod Patrol]] and [[Construction Patrol]]. Like his cel animated counterpart, he gets overwhelmed by his smaller foes, who blow up a bridge beneath him, sending him tumbling into a ravine with the rather unthreatening cry of "RAWRRR." {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Micromaster Patrols|Micromaster Patrols commercial}}

==Notes==
*Scorponok's colors are distributed differently in [http://www.botchthecrab.com/gallery/catalog_1988_b.jpg the 1987 and 1988 toy catalogs] as compared to the finished product.
[[File:Rebirth3-legdoor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Have fun crawling through the joints.]]
*Both Scorponok and Fortress Maximus suffer from the writers struggling to reconcile the characters' high rank with their size. In their comic appearances, they are portrayed as commanders in some capacity but are shrunk down to interact with other Transformers, and their city modes pretty much don't exist. Conversely, the cartoons have opted to portray them as giant city Transformers, though they seem to be merely extensions of the smaller beings that bond with them, with no real life or will of their own.
*When Scorponok prepares to leave [[Nebulos]] in "[[The Rebirth, Part 3]]", he opens a ramp for the other Decepticons to board him. Curiously, the ramp leads up into one of his scorpion mode legs.
[[File:Zazorigun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|His name is about as clever as his progenitor's.]]
*The [[Action Master Elite]] [[Double Punch]]'s mold looks just like an [[Action Master]] version of BlackZarak, right down to the molded details, including the head. The coloring (black/red/purple) is similar to BlackZarak's coloring (black/red/gold) as well. This is very strange, considering that Japan never got Action Masters, and Europe never got BlackZarak.
*Scorponok served as the basis for the evil "Zazorigun" (ザゾリガン ''Zazorigan'', a play on サソリ, ''sasori'', meaning "scorpion") mecha in [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave of Gold Goldran]]'' series. Unlike fellow ''Goldran'' baddie Deathgarrygun (who was derived from [[Sky Garry (ROC)|Sky Garry]]), no toy or merchandise of Zazorigun was ever released. At least one enterprising Japanese fan, though, has [http://mamao2.cside.com/contents/toys/gd/zazorigan.html created a custom one] for himself.
*[[Omni Productions]] dialogue scripts for ''The Headmasters'', included on the R2 release of the series, feature a number of different, bizarre names for Scorponok, including "'''Bronco'''" in [[The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery|episode 7]], "'''Locke'''"/"'''Lok'''" and "'''Jart'''" in [[Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1|episode 9]], and "'''Sogi'''" and "'''Chandler'''" in later episodes. While the final English dub just calls him Scorponok, variations of these names were actually used in the Latin American dub based on the same scripts, leading to some inconsistencies with Scorponok's name. On his first appearance, Galvatron calls him "Lok". Later, Skullcruncher calls him "Gronko" (episode 7 only), later in the series, he's named "Scorponok", and during the space travel event, he's called "'Chandler", the last two names being the most used during the ''Headmasters'' series. It should be noted that no name makes a distinction between Scorponok and his Transtector.
*The Scorponok that appears in the Japanese ''[[Kre-O Transformers (comic)|Kre-O Transformers]]'' manga is not based on the toy, which wasn't released in Japan, but on Generation 1 Scorponok's head unit as it appeared in ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (franchise)|The Headmasters]]''. Like all non-toy robot Kreons in these comics, he is made up of existing Kre-O parts, namely the [[Ironhide (Kre-O)|Ironhide]] helmet.

Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise

2021-04-09T18:18:16Z

Victinoko: /* R.E.D. (Robot Enhanced Design) */

{{suite}}

'''Optimus Prime''' is a bit of a shill.
==Stamp Bot==
[[File:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|Truck stamp is cool!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Made by HG Toys, Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.
{{-}}

==Knitting Pattern==
[[File:Transformers-knitting-pattern.JPG|thumb|Here to transform your sweater into something that will get your ass kicked.]]
*'''Wendy DK 3015''' (1986)
: Produced by U.K. company Wendy DK and designed by Joy Gammon, this pamphlet contained patterns for two ''Transformers''-themed sweaters, one featuring Optimus Prime in robot mode, one featuring Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. The patterns were sized as Children's Large, so you're going to have to upscale it quite a bit if you want your <s>girlfriend</s> mom to knit you one.
{{-}}

==Oral Care Station==
*'''Optimus Prime Oral Care Station''' (1984/85?)
:An electric toothbrush in the likeness of Optimus Prime. A battery-operated feature causes the toothbrush (attached at Prime's left wrist) to move back and forth. The set also included a cup for [[water]], an extra brush head, and a stand to hold the various accoutrements.

::*''[http://fredsworkshop.com/oral.html Images of the Oral Care Station in-box at FredsWorkshop.com]''

==The Transformers Cookie Jar==
*'''The Transformers Cookie Jar''' (1984?)
:A ceramic cookie jar in the likeness of Optimus Prime's head. The top of Prime's head lifts off for the storage of delicious baked goods or Energon or what-have-you. The cookie jar was manufactured by [[Great American Housewares]] under license from [[Hasbro]].
::*''[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/179468-optimus-prime-cookie-jar-price-check.html Images of The Transformers Cookie Jar at TFW2005]''

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Tfcaramel optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Note: Do not eat! ... the candy. The toys taste better.]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A small soft-rubber figurine (known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan) of Optimus Prime was released as part of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]]s. Like all the figures from the 1985 range, Prime came blindpacked, and was available in a variety of colors including white, blue, yellow, green and orange. As the name of the series suggests, he came with a piece of caramel candy.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A second Optimus Prime ''keshigomu'' was included in the second wave of ''Milk Caramel'' figures, sporting some broader proportions and more toy-based design cues like visible wheels, holding its gun in its left hand, rather than its right. This figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations; a baffling variant is known to exist with a ''Decepticon'' symbol on its left shoulder!

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''2'''
:The second ''Milk Caramel'' wave also contained a third Optimus Prime figure, largely identical to the second, except with its gun in its right hand, and holding its left arm aloft. Again, this figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Tfchoco optimusprime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
:A small solid-color snap-together model kit of Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line, coming packaged with small chocolate candies similar to [[M&M's]] called "Chocolate Dots". The kit can transform from robot to vehicle mode, though this version of Prime doesn't have any hands.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists
:A second ''Choco'' version of Prime was upsized from the first a little, and was given a pair of removable fists, the right one clutching Prime's [[ion blaster]].
{{-}}

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum optimusprime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists, ion blaster
:In addition to the small ''Choco'' model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 g1prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:The first wave of 2010's revival of the ''Transformers Gum'' series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.

:In terms of transformation, Convoy partially partforms, as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 henkei prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/laser cannon
:The second Prime figure in the 2010 ''Gum'' line was this kit of his ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''/''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.
{{-}}

*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

:Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.

==Hero Set==
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
:A large ''keshigomu'' of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Prime figure came with a removable laser rifle, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy optimus prime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
*'''Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
:Optimus Prime was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Prime was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1987)
**''Checklist number:'' '''31'''
:The Prime figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the "[[Decoy]]" promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (31, in Prime's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1986/Autobot/Decoys/OptimusPrime/optimusprime.htm More information on Decoy Optimus Prime at TFU.info]''
{{-}}

==Vinyl figurine==
[[File:Optimus Prime Vinyl Figure set.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Vinyl Prime leads his decoys into battle [[Action Masters|before the great storm]].]]
*'''Scramble Gun Set''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''Part.1'''
:Optimus Prime was one of several characters released by [[Seven]] and Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of different novelty sets. Prime came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four randomly assigned peach-colored decoy figures. In [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|"Part.2"]] of the set Prime is replaced by a vinyl Ultra Magnus.{{-}}

==Gold Convoy Trophy==
[[File:Gold Convoy Trophy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Thou will worship this golden convoy. Or Perish!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (trophy, 1988)
:A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] employees and as a [[Lucky Draw]] (alongside the [[Chromedome (G1)|Silver Chromedome Trophy]]) in [[TV Magazine]] in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
{{-}}

==Vehicle Play Tent==
[[File:Vehicleplaytent.jpg|thumb|Both a big truck ''and'' a series of tubes.]]
*'''ERO''' (1984?)
:The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.
{{-}}

==Generation 2==
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Dairy Queen promotion, 1994)
[[File:DairyQueen Optimus.jpg|thumb|Rare, in a raw chicken sort of way.]]
:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

:These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.
{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime Inflatable Bop Bag'''
[[File:OptimusPrime_G2_Inflatable_Bop_Bag.jpg|thumb|]]
:Released in 1993 by Kid Dimension, a subsidiary of Hasbro,<ref>[http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/hasbro-inc-history/]</ref> this 3 foot tall Inflatable Bop Bag featured the likeness of Optimus Prime above the Transformers Generation 2 logo. Supposedly to encourage kids to punch out Optimus Prime?

==Metalforce==
[[File:MetalforceConvoy.jpg|thumb|I'm expensive!]]
*'''Convoy''' (2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand
:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allow him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands and helmet, for some reason...

:Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and has an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.

{{-}}
==Choro-Q==
*'''Convoy''' (2000)

:''[[Choro-Q]]'' Convoy is a [[redeco]] of the Domra Truck toy from Takara's ''Choro-Q'' toyline of non-transforming [[super-deformed]] vehicles. He was an [[exclusive]] at [[BotCon]] Japan 2000, and features a [[pull-back motor]] and a rear license plate that reads "BotCon Japan 2000".

:Along with ''Choro-Q'' [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], Convoy was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

==Super Collection Figure==
[[File:SCF Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|#Igotprimeonit]]
*'''Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Optimus Prime was available as part of the first wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFaxe}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase axe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Convoy with Ax''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Also available in the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave was a rare "Secret Figure" version of Optimus (斧付きコンボイ, ''ono-tsuki konboi''), decorated in metallic paint and replacing his gun-wielding right hand with his [[energon-axe]].

: It was ''presumably'' released at a ratio of one per every ten cases; while this has not been officially confirmed, later waves gave these odds for Secret Figures.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFtrailer}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Truck.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|We're just as confused as you are, folks.]]
*'''Convoy (Trailer Mode)''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''

:Part of the second ''Super Collection Figure'' act, this is the only ''SCF'' figure of a vehicle mode Transformer. As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Unlike every other figure in the line (excluding build-a-figures), this one does ''not'' come with a figure stand, because... well, what would be the point?

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFMegaGun}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase jetpack.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Megatron & Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:The second ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, like the first, also had its own Optimus Prime chase figure, this one wielding Megatron in gun mode and wearing [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]'s [[jet pack|rocket pack]], as seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

: This was presumably also released at a ratio of one per every ten cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFdamage}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase damage.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Damaged Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''3'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:There was no mass-release Optimus Prime figure for the third ''Super Collection Figure'' act, but there was another rare chase figure, this time a battle-damaged version of the original figure from the first act, referencing his injuries from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

: Again, it was ''probably'' released in one out of every ten cases. He replaced the clear version of [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Super Collection Figure|Bumblebee]] in the case.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFcom}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Comm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He's actually checking his makeup.]]
*'''Convoy (B)''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFSilverMatrix}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase silver.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''5'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:This version of Prime was a chase figure in the fifth ''Super Collection Figure'' act, and depicts the Autobot leader, rendered in metallic silver, opening the Matrix, referencing the end of "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2]]". This figure was packed in at a ''confirmed'' ratio of one per every ten cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFMegatrongun}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Act6.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Shadow the Convoy, ow the edge.]]
*'''Convoy (C) with Megatron Gun Mode''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Extra right fist, stand

:The sixth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave featured yet another mass-release version of Optimus. While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFStarConvoy}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Star Convoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Chonktimus Prime.]]
*'''Star Convoy''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:After taking a break for the seventh wave, Prime returned for the eighth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, which would prove to be the final Generation 1-themed set of figures. This figure of Prime in his Star Convoy body was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

:In eight out of every ten cases, the colored version came with the right arm for the wave's [[Scorponok (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Scorponok]] build-a-figure; this part could be in either full color or pewter, at a 4:4 ratio.

{{-}}{{anchor|ConvoySet}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Earth Obliteration.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Special "The Earth Obliteration Plan": Exclusive Convoy Set''' ([[February 3|Feb 3]] 2002)
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Available exclusively at the Wonder Festival convention, this set includes two metallic-paint versions of Convoy figures from Act 2: the "Convoy w/ Megatron Gun" chase figure (minus the jetpack), and the truck-mode "figure".

: The set was limited to only 1000 units.

{{-}}{{anchor|ConfrontationSet}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Confrontation.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''TF Confrontation Set 01: Convoy vs Megatron''' ([[September 20|Sept 20]]-[[September 22|22]], 2002)
**''Accessories:'' Energon-axe

: Exclusive to the Tokyo Game Show 2002, this special set includes a new version of the original first-Act Optimus Prime figure, along with a new version of the first-Act Megatron. Both are cast in transparent plastic and completely painted over in a grimy, battle-damaged look. Both also come with the interchangeable energon-axe and mace weapons from their first-wave chase figures. Completing the theme of the set is the backdrop of the packaging interior, which depicts [[Sherman Dam]].

: Curiously, Optimus features the larger, rounded-off antennae of the [[Hasbro]] ''[[Heroes of Cybertron#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' version of the mold, which was in production/circulation about the same time.

: As with the above Wonder Festival set, this set was also limited to 1000 units.
{{-}}

==Heroes of Cybertron==
[[File:HOC Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey Spike, pull my finger.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002/2006)

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, Optimus is a [[redeco]] of the standard ''Super Collection Figure'' Optimus mold, with a ''slight'' [[retool]]ing to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae [[for safety reasons]]. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. There are a few other small deco differences to the ''Heroes'' version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.

: Optimus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him ''very'' similar to the original ''SCF'' toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the ''SCF'' version's chest-window light blue.

[[File:HOC Optimus Apex.jpg|upright=1.66|right|thumb|Don't tell anyone, but this crap is HEAVY!]]
*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

: An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a [[redeco]] of [[Ginrai (robot)#Super Collection Figure|God Ginrai]], the double-armored-up form of Optimus's ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.

: This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] with [[Apex Bomber]] the following year.

[[File:HOC Optimus Axe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Energon Axe: Only used in [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2|one episode]]. Ever.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002)

:This second-wave ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release is a variation of the chase figure from the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the ''Heroes'' molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Optimus. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Megatron]].)

: In a yet another unusual choice for the line, this second-wave figurine is a redeco of the first God Ginrai/Powermaster Prime Apex Armor PVC figure, cast in translucent orange plastic with red gradients and flame detailing, depicting a "spark attack" mode.

: This is a variant of the ''Super Collection Figure'' "God Fire Guts" God Ginrai chase figure, which had been rendered entirely in solid metallic gold paint.

: This toy also came with the head and weapons for the wave's collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Metroplex]] build-a-figure.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Bust, 2002)

: Optimus Prime was the first ''Transformers'' bust released by [[Hard Hero]]. He is approximately six inches tall at the head (8.5 at the gun) and is made out of cold-cast porcelain. There were also a version of the bust signed by the sculptor, limited to 100 samples.

*'''Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFT001''' and '''MFT006'''

: Optimus Prime was released three times in the [[MyClone]] line, all in the first wave of toys. He was released in both robot and truck mode, while a clear Optimus in robot mode was one of two chase figures along with a clear Megatron.

==Generation 1 Figure-Collection==

[[File:Bottlecap prime gun.JPG|thumb]]

*'''Convoy (gun)''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Display base

:At only one inch in height, this Optimus "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers [[Generation 1 Figure-Collection]]. The figure was rendered in both a standard "retro" black and white color scheme, and [[:File:Bottlecap chase prime.jpg|a rare full-color]] [[chase figure|chase]] version, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.

He features Movie-style faction symbols on his right arm and both sides of his cab mode. He is love.

==Revoltech==
[[File:Revoltech Convoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Windowbra! ''(2007 Version pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (2007/2014)
**''Series number:'' '''019'''
**''Legacy of Revoltech ID number'': '''LR-008'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand

:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Optimus Prime action figure, ''[[Revoltech]]'' Convoy uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create ''Revoltech'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Revoltech|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.

:The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).

:Unfortunately, ''Revoltech'' Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.

:In 2014, ''Revoltech'' Convoy was reissued as part of the ''Legacy of Revoltech'' line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.

*'''Convoy''' (2019)
**''Series number:'' 014
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Energon Axe, 1 pair of splayed hands, 1 pair of trigger hands, left clawed hand, right pointing hand, interlocked hand

:''Amazing Yamaguchi'' Convoy is an all-new take to the Revoltech figure above, but more poseable. Apart from the Ion Blaster, this figure comes with an Energon Axe accessory, and an interlocked hand accessory that is used to took down Megatron in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Unlike the first Revoltech figure, Convoy features painted-details-on-colored-plastic rather than fully coating them. The plastic is noted to have a hollow feel compared to the first figure.

:Due to production delays, the release date is rescheduled from September 29 to October 24.

:''Atari Hitotonari is a [[human]] from the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (franchise)|Kiss Players]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Atari-EDC01.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Sir, Private Atari Hitotonari resorting to dubiety, sir!]]
'''Atari Hitotonari''' (人隣当梨'' Hitotonari Atari'') is submissive, passive, immature even for her young age, and quite weak both in terms of physical strength and constitution, being prone to fits of motion sickness. As you can see, she's not off to a good start as far as defining characteristics go...so what's she good for? Well, she is fairly bright (she's second in her class), and she hates to see others suffer, an emotion mostly borne from the fact that she is so terrified of being hurt herself that she doesn't want to see anyone else feel pain either. In fact, she so deplores hurting other beings that she is a strict vegetarian, though she does like to gorge herself on doughnuts and other sweet desserts.

Atari's most important feature is that she is a hugely powerful [[Kiss Player]]. It was this ability that led her to join the [[Earth Defense Command]] and take part in its effort to eliminate the threat that [[Transformer]]s pose to all on Earth. Well, actually, she didn't really "join" it as much as she was "sucked into" it...and then spat out...naked...and covered in goo...

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''Kiss Players''====
{{voiceactor|[[Satomi Akesaka]] (Japanese)}}

[[File:LegionTongue.jpg|left|thumb|Grandmother, what big [[tongue]] you have got!]]
When the [[Decepticon]] leader [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] crash-landed on [[Earth]] in the year 2005, his impact utterly obliterated the city of [[Tokyo]] and shattered [[Transformer]]-human relations. The [[Earth Defense Command]] reverse-engineered Galvatron's corpse to create man-made Transformers named "[[Autorooper]]s", and forced all Transformers off of Earth, keeping them from returning to the planet by surrounding it with an [[anti-electron]] field.

In 2006, Atari's parents died in a Transformer-related accident, suddenly leaving the young girl alone, despondent, and resentful toward the giant robots. While alone one day, her mind consumed with the tragedy that had recently destroyed her life, she tumbled from the narrow wall on which she was walking. This proved to be as much as she could take, and she cried aloud that she wished to die, so she could be with her parents in the next world. But Atari did not expect that someone would answer her, when a voice emanated from a nearby car that inquired if that was what she truly wished. As the terrified Atari watched, the car transformed into a robot form: It was, in actuality, a [[Legion]], one of many monstrous creatures created when Galvatron's cells were dispersed into the atmosphere upon his impact and bonded with other animals and machines.

[[File:Kissplay1 atari fuses.jpg|225px|thumb|Autorooper! Stop playing Atari and do your homework!]]
Faced with the very real possibility of death, Atari realized that she truly wished to live, and in answer to her prayers, an E.D.C. Autorooper appeared, barrelling into the Legion and smashing it aside. Before it could finish the creature off, however, the Autorooper dropped to its knees and disgorged E.D.C. member [[Shaoshao Li]], one of the organizations' "Kiss Player" operatives (humans who had been infused with Galvatron's cells and given the power to bond with other organisms containing them), right on top of her. As the Legion righted itself to continue its attack, the Autorooper instructed Atari to kiss it or she would die, but Atari hesitated, and the Legion tore the Autorooper's arm off. Realizing that inaction would only cause others pain in addition to herself, Atari kissed the Autorooper and discovered that she too was a Kiss Player as she merged with the robot, repairing its injuries and allowing it to decapitate their mutual enemy messily. Shocked by what she had done, Atari vomited and passed out.

Having observed the battle, E.D.C. commander [[Hitoshizuku Amaō]] took custody of the girl and brought her to E.D.C. headquarters. She awoke in an unfamiliar room, where she was greeted [[Ringo Chikuma]] of the [[Ne Squad]], who proceeded to unveil her sociopathic tendencies by biting Atari in order to "taste" her abilities. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 1|Kiss Players #1}}

Atari subsequently formally joined the E.D.C. and was partnered with Shaoshao's Autorooper Ne-04, which left her cursed to live in the absent Shaoshao's impressive shadow. She bemoaned the fact that she had wound up partnered with a robot with a car mode when she was prone to car sickness, but she resolved to do her best to protect the Earth from Transformers. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #3}} She was disappointed that a robot had been the recipient of her first kiss and was thoroughly embarrassed by the whole kiss-fusion process, {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #6}} but she had great respect for her Ne Squad teammates {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #15}} and fought Legions alongside them. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #12}} She was unsure what to make of the Autoroopers, believing that she felt a sense of humanity within hers. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #24}}

Atari had a particularly unlucky experience when she ate an omelette that contained a minuscule Legion creature. The tiny monster immediately began causing havoc in her stomach, so Atari kissed her Autorooper, inexplicably causing it to shrink so that it could enter her body and fend the Legion off. Atari was not exactly in favor of the plan, but in typical fashion, acquiesced after only the weakest of protestations. As the battle played out in her guts, she grew even more embarrassed when the Autorooper discovered the remains of various desserts she had snuck out to eat the night before. The Autorooper eventually destroyed the Legion by hurling it into her digestive fluid, and then talked Atari into sticking her finger down her throat and vomiting him up. She wasn't happy. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Atari's Close Call?!}} Atari asked Commander Amaō about the surprising shrinkage of her Autorooper, and the commander told her that some Transformers simply possessed that power. Atari was later horrified when the shrunken Autorooper crawled inside her shirt while she was daydreaming about desserts. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #21}}

[[File:Atariscream2.jpg|thumb|"Atariscream" may look triumphant now, but check out Starscream's side of the story.]]
While visiting the bathroom one day, Atari suddenly found herself possessed by the ghost of the Decepticon Air Commander [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], who had learned of the power of Kiss Players from the data banks of [[Teletraan 15]]. Starscream burst from the bathroom in control of Atari's body and immediately began threatening the other Kiss Players, but found that none of them were taking him seriously...because he'd forgotten to pull up Atari's underwear. {{storylink|Starscream? Volume 3}} Starscream kept his hold on Atari, and through her, tracked down his old ally [[Doctor Arkeville]], who converted a jet fighter into a new body for him. Atari kissed the jet and transferred Starscream's ghost into it, but it was almost immediately destroyed by the E.D.C.'s forces. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #27}}

When the E.D.C. were put in charge of transporting the dead body of [[Autobot]] leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into [[Tokyo]], Atari was among the troops providing an escort. Soon, a commando unit led by [[Marissa Faireborn]] attempted to reclaim Prime's body, and Atari was rendered helpless when Marissa sliced her clothes off with a knife, fused with the resurrected Prime and ran away. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 2|Kiss Players #2}}

Life within the E.D.C. progressively proved harder and harder for Atari, as Ringo continued to subject her to repeated acts of whim-driven cruelty, {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #30}} and the mysterious disappearance of Shaoshao weighed heavily on her mind. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #18}} In civilian life, she found a friend in Marissa Faireborn, but this only lasted until the two girls each discovered who the other truly was and sadly accepted that their positions made them enemies. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #13}} Nevertheless, Marissa and Optimus Prime proceeded to save Atari from Legion threats several times, but this only made Atari worry that Marissa must be a better kisser that her, if her robot partner was stronger. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #9}}

[[File:Kissplay3 force-feeding flowers.jpg|upright=1.1|left|thumb|No, no, no! This is not Flower Power! I repeat: This is not Flower Power!]]
Depressed over the fact that she had yet to achieve a second successful fusion with her Autorooper since that first fateful day, Atari was moping around E.D.C. headquarters when her Autorooper surprised her by silently raising its palm and offering her a flower. Angry and miserable, Atari smacked the flower from the robot's hand and ran away. Atari's fellow E.D.C. Kiss Player, [[Kayu Michikusa]], observed the clash and followed Atari out of the base, catching up to her on a hill overlooking the city and presenting her with a flower chain made using the bloom the Autorooper had picked. Having experienced an all-too-rare act of genuine friendship, Atari's spirits began to rise. Sadly, it didn't last long, as she returned to base still wearing the flower chain and immediately caught Ringo's sadistic eye. The deranged girl began eating the flowers and tried to share them with Atari by kissing them into her mouth. Atari was literally saved by the bell as an alarm went off, signalling a Legion attack, and Ringo scampered away to respond.

[[File:Kissplay3 atari stops fight.jpg|225px|thumb|C'mon people, no need for fighting. We're all naked here.]]
Her status quo of perpetual misery restored, Atari composed herself and followed, discovering the source of the crisis: Optimus Prime and Marissa were leading an army of Legions down on E.D.C. headquarters! Before the Ne Squad could attack, a further surprise occurred: the Autobot [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] arrived on the scene, now Kiss Player partners with the missing Shaoshao! The E.D.C.'s Kiss Players fused with their Autoroopers, save for Atari, and plunged into the middle of the battle, but were sent flying by a swing of Prime's sword. Fearing for the safety of her friends, Atari made an impassioned plea to her Autorooper to help her save them, and at last, the robot responded to her and transformed to robot mode, kneeling so it could be kissed. Atari did so, and finally, the pair fused together once again and sprang into action, turning back the Autobots and Legions. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 3|Kiss Players #3}}

Her friendship with Kayu growing, Atari made plans to go on a trip with the girl. But as one relationship improved, another deteriorated, as Ringo's torture sessions grew worse and worse. Atari's pleas to Kayu for help fell on deaf ears, and so Atari spitefully broke off the trip. The next day, however, Atari discovered that Kayu had been transferred to another squad, {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #33}} and she soon learned from her other teammates that Kayu had previously been subject to Ringo's "attentions" before Atari came along. This discussion was cut short by a sudden emergency: Kayu's Autorooper was running amok. Atari believed that she could hear Kayu's voice coming from within the robot, but Ringo sprang into action and mercilessly gunned it down despite Atari's pleas. Overcome with emotion, Atari blacked out...and when she awoke, she could hear Ringo screaming...and her Autorooper's hands were stained with blood. In losing control of herself and her Autorooper, it appeared, Atari had taken revenge for herself and her friend. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #36}}

When Optimus Prime staged another attack on E.D.C. headquarters, once again backed by a phalanx of Legions, Atari fused with her Autorooper to join the fight. When her fusion time expired, she discovered Marissa and Shaoshao in the middle of the battlefield, having just finally set aside the differences that had caused them to fight up until now. Together, the three girls vowed to uncover the mysteries lying at the heart of the E.D.C. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #37}} Venturing into the [[Genital System]] facility beneath the E.D.C. building, the girls and their robot partners discovered the remains of Galvatron, before a door came slamming down, separating Atari from the rest of the group. Commander Amaō appeared before her and explained the full extent of her plans: [[Shizuku Amaō|her daughter]], Atari learned, had died in Galvatron's impact, but Amaō had discovered that her soul had somehow been preserved in the Legions. Experimenting with Legion remains and Kiss Players who had outlived their usefulness, Amaō believed she could recreate her daughter in a Kiss Player body, and had originally selected Shaoshao for the process. Her plans changed when she discovered Atari, whose yet-to-be-realized Kiss Player powers made her an even better candidate for the process, and she had approached Atari's parents in hopes of recruiting the girl into the E.D.C. Atari's parents had refused, and so Amaō had orchestrated their deaths to lead Atari into her clutches. Amaō began her plan, but Atari fought against the fusion process, remembering her friendless childhood and how far she had come. Fusing with her Autorooper, she seized Galvatron's body and blasted off into the air, causing the complex to collapse and kill Amaō. All of Galvatron's cells from the girls, their partners, the Legions and the Autoroopers were absorbed back into Galvatron's body, and Atari flung the reconstituted Decepticon leader into space. Before her own powers faded, she looked down upon the Earth, and smiled in happiness. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|You, I, and the Spinning Earth}}

====''Kiss Players Position''====
[[File:15gogo sparkbots appear.jpg|left|215px|thumb|On the Kiss Players' side of the reality barrier, that's probably one heck of a light show.]]
Following the deactivation of the anti-electron field, the Autobots returned to Earth in early 2007, but Transformer-human relations were still in tatters. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] came up with the idea of a Transformer-human singing group to try and repair relations and spread goodwill between the two races, and to that end, Atari joined with Marissa, Shaoshao, and [[Mini-Cassette|cassette Transformers]] [[Glit (KP)|Glit]], [[Sundor]], and [[Rosanna (KP)|Rosanna]] to form this group, the "[[Kiss Players (singing group)|Kiss Players]]".

While on their world goodwill tour, the Kiss Players arrived in North America to perform at [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Brave Maximus]], but just before the concert began, three mysterious glowing orbs appeared before the band and telepathically spoke to them. Introducing themselves as the [[Sparkbot]]s [[Star Dust]], [[Angela]], and [[Zangetsu]], they instructed the three girls to kiss them. When they did so, the girls and Brave Maximus were suddenly whisked off through time, rematerializing at [[Sherman Dam]] in the year 1985, where they witnessed Optimus Prime's historic battle with Megatron atop the structure. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #39}} The Sparkbots explained to the Kiss Players that the "[[Transformer afterlife|Allspark]]" had been scattered throughout space and time, and that their mission was to recover its fragments by kissing Autobot leaders from different time periods, starting with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #40}}

[[File:AtariSwimsuit.jpg|thumb|[[Minerva (Masterforce human)|Minerva]] [[Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter|knows]] her pain. Minus the hamster ears.]]
The Kiss Players adventures through the timestream soon led them to the year 2011, where they fell into the clutches of the [[Quintesson]]s. Even the power of {{w|Moe (slang)|moe}}, despite transforming Atari into a hamster-girl in a swimsuit who called the judge "big brother" and asked his permission to use the potty, was not enough to spare them from the Quintesson judge's verdict of "not guilty." Fortunately, Optimus Prime and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Goldbug]] came to their accidental rescue, and the Kiss Players' voyage continued. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Tokyo_Toy_Festival_live_performance|Tokyo Toy Festival live performance}}

Following this hair-raising experience, Atari was sent on her first solo mission to recover an AllSpark fragment, alongside Star Dust. Appearing in the vicinity of [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] later in the year 2011, Atari watched as the planet [[Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears|exploded]], then kissed the Autobot leader of the era, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], as he emerged from the conflagration. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #42}}

[[File:Atari meets optimus primal.jpg|left|115px|thumb|Oh, that reminds me to ask; Why universe hate Atari?]]
Atari delighted in her next mission, when she was taken into the past and found herself surrounded by animals. She never expected that one of the animals was a Transformer: [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]]! Atari and Star Dust proceeded to hop through time so the girl could kiss each of Primal's forms, although she was initially hesitant to do so until Star Dust explained that this was not the Optimus ''Prime'' with whom she was familiar. When the task was done, however, he Allspark fragments recovered were suddenly seized by an invisible force and stolen away. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #45}} These thefts continued as the Kiss Players tried to gather more fragments, forcing the girls to give chase across the timestream, only for Brave Maximus to crash into the "[[Wall of Time]]", scattering the team across the multiverse. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #47}}

Atari found herself in the parallel reality of the [[Aurex 103.10 Alpha|MD World]], on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s moon at the height of the Transformers' war for the [[Mini-Con]]s. Encountering native Mini-Con [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], Atari found she could understand the little robot's beeping and booping, and she learned that he had become [[Alliance|separated from his partner]]. As the moon trembled beneath Atari's feet, they realized that they were standing on the body of [[Unicron]], but before they could do anything to help Blackout, the invisible force returned to bring Atari back to her home universe. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #48}} The "force", it transpired, was [[Primus]], god of the Transformers, who had gathered the other Kiss Players. Primus explained that he had been responsible for stealing the Allspark fragments away—because they were actually portions of Unicron's shattered [[Angolmois Energy|lifeforce]], and the Sparkbots were his servants, trying to resurrect him! Thankfully, Primus was able to trap Unicron's lifeforce within the Earth, but he would not answer the Kiss Players' questions about their own future. As his last act before he transformed into a [[Vector Sigma|golden sphere]], Primus returned the Kiss Players to the present day of 2007, mere moments after they had left on their adventure. Realizing that their future was not defined by Primus or any god, Shaoshao and Marissa made vows for the future, while Atari remained unsure of what she would do next, but realized at last the importance of truly living. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #51}}

Atari was one of the many women brought to the [[Legends World|Legends Universe]] by [[Tigatron]] using the [[10.2 ultra-drill|ultra-drill]] in an attempt to get women who liked him better than [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]. It did not work out, as all of the women brought over eventually swooned over Springer. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|Bonus Edition Vol. 19}}

By [[2039]], Atari had become involved in robotics, working alongside [[Chip Chase]] as part of [[Project Gaia]] that also involved the discovery and use of [[Angolmois Energy]]. With the help of technology from the [[Transformer]]s, Atari developed a series of androids, the latest of which was [[Artemis]], and also the lupine [[Moon (BWII)|Moon]]. Atari was alarmed when, at their unveiling, Artemis immediately set to bonking Moon with her hammer. Despite the android's frequent bursts of cartoon violence, Atari continued working on the two. {{storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter "Epiloge"|Epiloge}}

*'''Atari X Autorooper''' (2006)

:Like all the ''Kiss Players'' girls, Atari's figures were pre-posed PVC figurines, unlike Marissa and Shaoshao, she got ''two'' figures, and in different sizes. Her first figure, sculpted by series designer [[Yuki Ohshima]], was the unusual one, much larger than a standard ''Kiss Players'' figure and depicting Atari apparently recoiling from something. It came packaged with a tiny transforming Autorooper figure, representing the character after he had been shrunk, and a CD containing episodes 6-10 of the ''Kiss Players'' radio drama, as well as the exclusive audio adventure, "Atari's Close Call?!"

:Atari's second figure was at the standard size for ''Kiss Players'' figurines and came packaged with the larger, 1:24 scale transforming Autorooper figure. She can sit in either the Autorooper's driver's seat or on his shoulder, but not a lot else, although she ''does'' come with a pair of alternate arms clutching a barf bag. She even has (what we hope is) a little bit of barf sculpted on her chin. Released on the week that followed the broadcast of the cliffhanger ending to the first year of the ''Kiss Players'' radio drama, the set included a CD containing episodes 21-30 of the series and the exclusive chapter that concluded the year's storyline, "You, I, and the Spinning Earth".

Only available as an online-order exclusive from ''[[Dengeki Hobby]]'' magazine, the figure represents Atari while she was possessed by Starscream's ghost.

*According to the [[Yuki Ohshima|series writer]], Atari was originally going to be an elementary school student. However, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] objected, pointing out that an elementary school student would not be legally eligible for a driver's license.

Generic

2021-02-26T16:01:30Z

Victinoko: /* Generics gone pro */

[[File:VictoryMicroCriminalsEp18.jpg|upright=2.8|thumb|What do any of us turn into?]]
A "'''generic'''" is the fan-coined, unofficial term for any unnamed background [[Transformer]] that is clearly not intended to represent any previously existing and named toy/character. Generics are frequently used to fill out crowd scenes and battles, and often employ repeated standardized designs (especially in the older material such as the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]]).

It is rare that a generic gets a speaking part, but it has happened from time to time. However, if the character is given a name they cease to be a generic and become a regular character. Over time, thanks to fans-turned-pro and [[BotCon|conventions]] looking for con-exclusive toys, quite a few generics have made this leap! (See below for a partial list)

== Notable generics==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
[[File:GenericDecepticons MTMTE.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I don't know how, but I'm pretty sure the Decepticons were cheating.]]
*[[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] - The comparatively low number of Decepticons in the early episodes of the cartoon led to the filling out of the ranks with numerous generics based on the existing cast, most notably the Seekers.
*[[Photon]]s - In addition to the Seekers, early episodes also had duplicates of [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]], though it is speculated that Reflector is just one guy who could clone himself...
*[[Decepticon Mini-Cassette]]s - Though rarer than Seekers and Photons, there would also be multi-colored Mini-Cassettes sharing the same body-type as [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]]. Just look at the picture to the right.
*[[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] - Hordes of generic Junkions tended to appear whenever the cartoon visited [[Junkion (planet)|that planet]]. Sometimes [[Lithone (species)|Lithone]] character models were repurposed as Junkions.
*Paradrons - Aside from [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], the entire population of [[Paradron]] in "[[Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee]]" were generics, especially their [[Paradron Medic|medics]]. However, the Communication Autobot (later given the name [[Playback]]) had a distinct design, and even spoke a few lines.
*The "historic footage" from "[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2]]" features a [[Early war history records Transformers|large number of generics]] with completely made-up character models. Some of these models later show up again in "[[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1]]", "[[The Burden Hardest to Bear]]", and even ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]''.
*Many generics appear during the flashback scenes in "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4]]".
*Many Decepticons of various designs were seen running as Unicron is on the verge of destroying Cybertron. A few were later seen inside Unicron along with Spike, Bumblebee, Jazz, and Cliffjumper, with two onscreen dropped into the acid and melting. A few Autobots were seen too, including one who resembles [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]]. {{Storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

=== Marvel Comics continuity===
[[File:Generic decepticons marvel 1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.15|rightt|Optimus Prime? Who's that meant to be?]]
*The [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the Marvel comic featured a very high proportion of generic characters - probably more than any issue of a Transformers comic since. Many of these were recycled from existing character models and some may be simple coloring errors, though a generic that resembles a miscolored [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] leading the Decepticons' assault on the Ark [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|may take more explaining]]. A number of the generics in battle scenes tote weapons like [[ion blaster]]s and [[fusion cannon]]s.
*A generic Decepticon technician of a standard design originally created by [[Will Simpson]] for [[Resurrection!|issue #103]] was forcibly upgraded into a [[Straxus (G1)|clone of Megatron]].
*[[Dan Reed]] drew hundreds of generic "zombie" Transformers for the stories "[[City of Fear!]]" and "[[Legion of the Lost!]]"

*In ''Transformers: Armada'', both Autobot and Decepticon forces were filled out using Generation 1 cartoon character models, creating several odd instances of classic characters getting remarkably awkward (and often randomly-colored) cameos. Notable examples include a [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]-type Decepticon and a purple Powerglide.
**When ''Transformers: Energon'' came along, the robot cast got upgraded into CGI. And due to the nature of this technique, the Autobots and Decepticons employed generics assembled from parts of other existing or unused character models. [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]'s original "Wing Dagger" form is one such example of a mixed-and-matched generic character model.
[[File:EnergonGeneric.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|"Absolutely, positively not made of the corpses of other more important characters, SIR!"]]
*Depending on who was animating the episode, the masses of [[Mini-Con]]s in ''Armada'' combined toy-characters with either randomly-colored toy-based models or entirely-new designs. They even made a [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]-type Mini-Con!
*Many of the civilian Transformers featured in ''Transformers: Cybertron'' were also generics. At least two of them were based on [[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]] and several others were based on [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]]. Others were more varied, featuring alternate modes used by characters in previous series with a few new things (such as a bus and jetliners) being thrown in. It is noteworthy that none of these were ever seen in [[robot mode]], save as silhouettes in "[[Fallen (episode)|Fallen]]".
*Most of the [[Ancient Decepticon]]s were generics, using slightly varied models. Nearly all of these clearly seen looked like their [[alternate mode]]s were jets or starfighters of varying sort, and almost certainly Cybertronian in origin. However, they were not seen in vehicle mode, save perhaps for a few brief glimpses. They mainly served to be beaten up, and some possibly slagged, by the Autobots, but they did prove helpful in the final struggle.
*In a flashback shot in "[[Honor]]" and in a present-day scene in "[[Challenge]]" various generic [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]] natives were shown in [[beast mode]]. These beast modes included various dinosaurs, a lobster-alt body type shared by at least two, and another shared body type that transformed into an owl.

*After the events of ''[[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers]]'' left the Decepticons short on troops, in ''[[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II]]'' artist [[E. J. Su]] padded out [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s Cybertronian forces with nameless, but intricately designed generics. Sadly the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] arrived, and Dinobots vs. generic Decepticons is always going to end badly for the no-names.
*Also notable is the generic "future Decepticon" composed of a mix of [[Scorponok (Energon)|''Energon'' Scorponok]], [[Megatron (Armada)|''Armada'' Megatron]], and topped with [[Sky Garry (ROC)|Sky Garry]]'s head, who appeared on the cover of [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 3|#3]] (as seen to the left). Part of him was shown in the cliffhanger of issue 2, but despite his appearance on the cover, he did not appear in the following issue at all. Instead his place was filled by hordes of generic [[Ravage (G1)|Ravages]], [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s, and Insecticons. Though multiple Insecticons and Sweeps have been previously seen, this is the first time we have seen clones of Ravage. In 2015, an entry of the Facebook edition of [[Ask Vector Prime]] would name this "future Decepticon" as [[Ragnarok]] and provide an in-universe explanation for his absence from the story.
*At the series's conclusion, Shockwave is tended by a generic [[Decepticon medics|Decepticon medic]], who has a similar design to [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]].

* Artist [[Andrew Griffith]] populated the early issues of ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]'' with a variety of recurring background characters representing civilians and other non-combatant Cybertronians. Some of these were based off other fictional properties, such as characters based on Tonka's [[Rock Lord]]s, but most were original creations, many of whom sported inhuman features such as extra heads or arms.

===''Animated'' cartoon===
Many unnamed generic Decepticons appear at Megatron's funeral in "[[Dispatches]]".
[[File:Animated females.jpg|thumb|178px|Because of the [[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac|AllSpark Almanac]]s, we didn't stay unnamed for long.]]
In Season 3 many generics flesh out crowd scenes. Normally these generics are just randomly colored characters, but sometimes they have [[Bumper (Animated)|new heads]] and [[Tap-Out (Animated)|posture]], or sometimes even a [[Glyph (Animated)|new gender]]! This is especially noticeable in "[[Decepticon Air]]", "[[This Is Why I Hate Machines]]", and "[[Endgame, Part II]]".

Perhaps as an homage to the franchise's long history of generic background characters, or just to save time, [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] added many re-used and re-colored characters into the backgrounds of the larger battle scenes featured in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and all subsequent films.
*A [[protoform]] army with heads resembling [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] appear in the second and third films, and are succeeded by [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s [[Shadow Raider]]s and [[Megatron (Movie)|Galvatron]]'s [[KSI Sentry|KSI Sentries]] in ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' and [[Quintessa (TLK)|Quintessa]]'s [[Infernocon]]s in ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]''.

*Galvatron's commandeered army of [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]] drones additionally consists of multiple [[KSI Boss]]es, some [[Two Head]]s resembling [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], a [[McLaren Decepticon]], and an [[Aston Martin Decepticon]].
*The opening of ''The Last Knight'' features generic Autobot and Decepticons resembling partially recolored versions of [[Junkheap (AOE)|Junkheap]] fighting each other in city streets.
*Much like their counterparts in Generation 1 and ''Cyberverse'', there is a colorful assortment of [[Seeker (Movie)|Seeker]]s and [[conehead]]s amongst the Decepticons forces in the Cybertron scenes featured in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]''. There are also some colorful generic soldiers on the side of the Autobots to get shot by the Seekers.

**In season 2 and 3, white versions of the Jet type appeared as [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s, though they were just as generic as their purple brothers.
**The Decepticon Miners all use the same model, which is very similar to that of a car Vehicon. This model is later altered for the bounty hunter [[Shadelock]].

*The [[Skunkticon]]s all share the same model as their leader [[Malodor]].
*The Autobot [[museum guard]]s and [[proctor]]s all share a common model in various color patterns. This model serves as the basis for [[RoughEdge]].
*The [[High Council trooper]]s and infiltrators each shared a common model, as did both the Cybertron Police officers and Autobot civilians. There was also a flying trooper and some heavy troopers.
*Besides Vehicons, Glowstrike's army of ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' escapees also includes a host of colorful [[Chompazoid]]s with different jaws than [[Underbite]] that lack, well, underbites. For example, they've got a burgundy Chompazoid and a light brown Chompazoid as guard dogs. There are also several [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s identical in design to [[Hammerstrike (RID)|Hammerstrike]] and [[Ragebyte]], including one sporting a color scheme (and eyes) more in line with the species' [[Sharkticon (species)#Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 counterparts]] that becomes a punching bag for Steeljaw.

Victinoko: /* Generics gone pro */

[[File:VictoryMicroCriminalsEp18.jpg|upright=2.8|thumb|What do any of us turn into?]]
A "'''generic'''" is the fan-coined, unofficial term for any unnamed background [[Transformer]] that is clearly not intended to represent any previously existing and named toy/character. Generics are frequently used to fill out crowd scenes and battles, and often employ repeated standardized designs (especially in the older material such as the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]]).

It is rare that a generic gets a speaking part, but it has happened from time to time. However, if the character is given a name they cease to be a generic and become a regular character. Over time, thanks to fans-turned-pro and [[BotCon|conventions]] looking for con-exclusive toys, quite a few generics have made this leap! (See below for a partial list)

== Notable generics==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
[[File:GenericDecepticons MTMTE.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I don't know how, but I'm pretty sure the Decepticons were cheating.]]
*[[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] - The comparatively low number of Decepticons in the early episodes of the cartoon led to the filling out of the ranks with numerous generics based on the existing cast, most notably the Seekers.
*[[Photon]]s - In addition to the Seekers, early episodes also had duplicates of [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]], though it is speculated that Reflector is just one guy who could clone himself...
*[[Decepticon Mini-Cassette]]s - Though rarer than Seekers and Photons, there would also be multi-colored Mini-Cassettes sharing the same body-type as [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]]. Just look at the picture to the right.
*[[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] - Hordes of generic Junkions tended to appear whenever the cartoon visited [[Junkion (planet)|that planet]]. Sometimes [[Lithone (species)|Lithone]] character models were repurposed as Junkions.
*Paradrons - Aside from [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], the entire population of [[Paradron]] in "[[Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee]]" were generics, especially their [[Paradron Medic|medics]]. However, the Communication Autobot (later given the name [[Playback]]) had a distinct design, and even spoke a few lines.
*The "historic footage" from "[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2]]" features a [[Early war history records Transformers|large number of generics]] with completely made-up character models. Some of these models later show up again in "[[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1]]", "[[The Burden Hardest to Bear]]", and even ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]''.
*Many generics appear during the flashback scenes in "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4]]".
*Many Decepticons of various designs were seen running as Unicron is on the verge of destroying Cybertron. A few were later seen inside Unicron along with Spike, Bumblebee, Jazz, and Cliffjumper, with two onscreen dropped into the acid and melting. A few Autobots were seen too, including one who resembles [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]]. {{Storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

=== Marvel Comics continuity===
[[File:Generic decepticons marvel 1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.15|rightt|Optimus Prime? Who's that meant to be?]]
*The [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the Marvel comic featured a very high proportion of generic characters - probably more than any issue of a Transformers comic since. Many of these were recycled from existing character models and some may be simple coloring errors, though a generic that resembles a miscolored [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] leading the Decepticons' assault on the Ark [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|may take more explaining]]. A number of the generics in battle scenes tote weapons like [[ion blaster]]s and [[fusion cannon]]s.
*A generic Decepticon technician of a standard design originally created by [[Will Simpson]] for [[Resurrection!|issue #103]] was forcibly upgraded into a [[Straxus (G1)|clone of Megatron]].
*[[Dan Reed]] drew hundreds of generic "zombie" Transformers for the stories "[[City of Fear!]]" and "[[Legion of the Lost!]]"

===''Beast Wars Neo'' cartoon===
[[File:Beast-Wars-Neo-Generic-Maximals.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]

These three also had [[character model]]s drawn up for their one and only debut in the cartoon as well.

===''Beast Machines'' cartoon===
*Generation 1 [[character model]]s created for the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode "[[The Agenda (Part III)]]" were modified to represent various generic Cybertronian citizens who were infected with Megatron's transformation lock virus.
*A [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] character model appears in [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]]'s flashback in "[[Forbidden Fruit]]"
*A [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] character model shows up as a corpse in a Vehicon factory in "[[Revelations Part I: Discovery]]".
*The Soundwave and Prowl character models were later stumbled upon by the Maximals in "[[Sparkwar Pt. II: The Search]]".

===Unicron Trilogy cartoons===
[[File:Prominent generic.png|rightt|100px|thumb|"I had a bigger role than Overload!"]]
*In ''Transformers: Armada'', both Autobot and Decepticon forces were filled out using Generation 1 cartoon character models, creating several odd instances of classic characters getting remarkably awkward (and often randomly-colored) cameos. Notable examples include a [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]-type Decepticon and a purple Powerglide.
**When ''Transformers: Energon'' came along, the robot cast got upgraded into CGI. And due to the nature of this technique, the Autobots and Decepticons employed generics assembled from parts of other existing or unused character models. [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]]'s original "Wing Dagger" form is one such example of a mixed-and-matched generic character model.
[[File:EnergonGeneric.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|"Absolutely, positively not made of the corpses of other more important characters, SIR!"]]
*Depending on who was animating the episode, the masses of [[Mini-Con]]s in ''Armada'' combined toy-characters with either randomly-colored toy-based models or entirely-new designs. They even made a [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]-type Mini-Con!
*Many of the civilian Transformers featured in ''Transformers: Cybertron'' were also generics. At least two of them were based on [[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]] and several others were based on [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]]. Others were more varied, featuring alternate modes used by characters in previous series with a few new things (such as a bus and jetliners) being thrown in. It is noteworthy that none of these were ever seen in [[robot mode]], save as silhouettes in "[[Fallen (episode)|Fallen]]".
*Most of the [[Ancient Decepticon]]s were generics, using slightly varied models. Nearly all of these clearly seen looked like their [[alternate mode]]s were jets or starfighters of varying sort, and almost certainly Cybertronian in origin. However, they were not seen in vehicle mode, save perhaps for a few brief glimpses. They mainly served to be beaten up, and some possibly slagged, by the Autobots, but they did prove helpful in the final struggle.
*In a flashback shot in "[[Honor]]" and in a present-day scene in "[[Challenge]]" various generic [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]] natives were shown in [[beast mode]]. These beast modes included various dinosaurs, a lobster-alt body type shared by at least two, and another shared body type that transformed into an owl.

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
[[File:Joetfii 03a.jpg|rightt|upright=0.85|thumb|I don't know who I am, but apparently I'm awesome.]]
*After the events of ''[[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers]]'' left the Decepticons short on troops, in ''[[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II]]'' artist [[E. J. Su]] padded out [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s Cybertronian forces with nameless, but intricately designed generics. Sadly the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] arrived, and Dinobots vs. generic Decepticons is always going to end badly for the no-names.
*Also notable is the generic "future Decepticon" composed of a mix of [[Scorponok (Energon)|''Energon'' Scorponok]], [[Megatron (Armada)|''Armada'' Megatron]], and topped with [[Sky Garry (ROC)|Sky Garry]]'s head, who appeared on the cover of [[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 3|#3]] (as seen to the left). Part of him was shown in the cliffhanger of issue 2, but despite his appearance on the cover, he did not appear in the following issue at all. Instead his place was filled by hordes of generic [[Ravage (G1)|Ravages]], [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s, and Insecticons. Though multiple Insecticons and Sweeps have been previously seen, this is the first time we have seen clones of Ravage. In 2015, an entry of the Facebook edition of [[Ask Vector Prime]] would name this "future Decepticon" as [[Ragnarok]] and provide an in-universe explanation for his absence from the story.
*At the series's conclusion, Shockwave is tended by a generic [[Decepticon medics|Decepticon medic]], who has a similar design to [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]].

* Artist [[Andrew Griffith]] populated the early issues of ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]'' with a variety of recurring background characters representing civilians and other non-combatant Cybertronians. Some of these were based off other fictional properties, such as characters based on Tonka's [[Rock Lord]]s, but most were original creations, many of whom sported inhuman features such as extra heads or arms.

Many unnamed generic Decepticons appear at Megatron's funeral in "[[Dispatches]]".

In Season 3 many generics flesh out crowd scenes. Normally these generics are just randomly colored characters, but sometimes they have [[Bumper (Animated)|new heads]] and [[Tap-Out (Animated)|posture]], or sometimes even a [[Glyph (Animated)|new gender]]! This is especially noticeable in "[[Decepticon Air]]", "[[This Is Why I Hate Machines]]", and "[[Endgame, Part II]]".

Perhaps as an homage to the franchise's long history of generic background characters, or just to save time, [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] added many re-used and re-colored characters into the backgrounds of the larger battle scenes featured in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and all subsequent films.
*A [[protoform]] army with heads resembling [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] appear in the second and third films, and are succeeded by [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s [[Shadow Raider]]s and [[Megatron (Movie)|Galvatron]]'s [[KSI Sentry|KSI Sentries]] in ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' and [[Quintessa (TLK)|Quintessa]]'s [[Infernocon]]s in ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]''.
*The [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], and [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] appeared in more than one place simultaneously, creating generics.

*Three giant duplicates of [[Hatchet (DOTM)|Hatchet]] appear in the battle on Cybertron that ''Dark of the Moon'' opens with.
*An [[M1 Abrams Decepticon]] resembling [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] in his Deep Desert toy colors and an [[Audi R8 Decepticon]] resembling [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] also appear in Optimus' killing spree.
*Multiple [[Lensmeter Decepticon|duplicates]] of [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] are repairing Megatron's head wound in Africa.
*A [[police car Decepticon]] is among the Decepticons who arrive in Washington, D.C., while a [[pickup Decepticon]] takes part in the invasion of Chicago.
*The [[Steeljaw (AOE)|Steeljaw]]s and [[Stupid Drone]]s also serving aboard Lockdown's [[Knight Ship|ship]] all share single character models. And they may or may not even be Cybertronians.
*Galvatron's commandeered army of [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]] drones additionally consists of multiple [[KSI Boss]]es, some [[Two Head]]s resembling [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], a [[McLaren Decepticon]], and an [[Aston Martin Decepticon]].
*The opening of ''The Last Knight'' features generic Autobot and Decepticons resembling partially recolored versions of [[Junkheap (AOE)|Junkheap]] fighting each other in city streets.
*Much like their counterparts in Generation 1 and ''Cyberverse'', there is a colorful assortment of [[Seeker (Movie)|Seeker]]s and [[conehead]]s amongst the Decepticons forces in the Cybertron scenes featured in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]''. There are also some colorful generic soldiers on the side of the Autobots to get shot by the Seekers.

*The Decepticons employ generics in the form of [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicons]] which come in two flavors—jet and car.
**In season 2 and 3, white versions of the Jet type appeared as [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s, though they were just as generic as their purple brothers.
**The Decepticon Miners all use the same model, which is very similar to that of a car Vehicon. This model is later altered for the bounty hunter [[Shadelock]].
**The Vehicons featured in season 2 of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)|Robots in Disguise]]'' reprise their ''Prime'' models. This time, their color schemes vary amongst themselves.
*The [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticons]] also shared a character model, with [[Hardshell]], [[Bombshock (Prime)|Bombshock]], and [[Razorhorn]] being the only distinguished ones.
**There is also a black, bright-green and teal Insecticon amongst the inhabitants of Decepticon Island. The colors match Bombshock's [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[Bombshock (Prime)#Toys|toy]], but are laid out entirely differently (dangit).
*The good guys in ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' also have generics, as virtually all of the human soldiers seen use the same model. Mind you, all those squishies look the same to us anyway.
[[File:MetalMeltdown Kickback and generics.jpg|thumb|right|250px|How is it that these guys are on the Alchemor, but are not ''on'' the Alchemor?]]
*The [[Caretaker Mini-Con]]s featured in ''Robots in Disguise'', including [[Toolbox]] and [[Cinch]], all share the ''exact'' same model as [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]].
*Likewise, the [[Cyclone]] Mini-Cons employ a common body-type, including [[Backtrack (RID)|Backtrack]], [[Ransack (RID Mini-Con)|Ransack]], and [[Bounce]]. There is also a purple Cyclone and a black-and-green Cyclone residing in Decepticon Island.
*The [[Skunkticon]]s all share the same model as their leader [[Malodor]].
*The Autobot [[museum guard]]s and [[proctor]]s all share a common model in various color patterns. This model serves as the basis for [[RoughEdge]].
*The [[High Council trooper]]s and infiltrators each shared a common model, as did both the Cybertron Police officers and Autobot civilians. There was also a flying trooper and some heavy troopers.
*Besides Vehicons, Glowstrike's army of ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' escapees also includes a host of colorful [[Chompazoid]]s with different jaws than [[Underbite]] that lack, well, underbites. For example, they've got a burgundy Chompazoid and a light brown Chompazoid as guard dogs. There are also several [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s identical in design to [[Hammerstrike (RID)|Hammerstrike]] and [[Ragebyte]], including one sporting a color scheme (and eyes) more in line with the species' [[Sharkticon (species)#Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 counterparts]] that becomes a punching bag for Steeljaw.
*Also spotted walking around in Decepticon Island is an orange and blue look-alike of [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]] (sans spider legs).

:''Transmutate is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Transmutate.jpg|250px|thumb|MU-tilate. MU-tant. Hm. I wonder. Oh well.]]

Twisted and warped, '''Transmutate''' (also '''Trans-Mutate''') is a [[Transformer]] in name only. The damage done to them by their troubled birth has rendered them unable to [[transformation|transform]], and reduced their mind to infancy, leaving them utterly innocent in personality and able to grasp only simple concepts. Their trusting and curious nature is both a boon and a handicap.

Transmutate's distorted frame conceals almost unbelievable destructive power in the form of a super-sonic scream which can leave all but the hardiest victim out cold. Their simple mind means that many of their capabilities remain unknown, even to themself, and they will express surprise when, for instance, they find they have the ability to flyyyyyyyyy.

[[File:Transmutate Rampage.jpg|thumb|left|230px]]
Transmutate's [[stasis pod]] was one of many aboard the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' and at some point crashed from [[Earth]] orbit in seismically-unstable [[Grid Deltron]]. The heavily-damaged pod later became uncovered by the region's earthquakes and Transmutate explosively freed itself. Presented with the choice of [[Maximal]] or [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]], they hesitated and when [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] accidentally shot them, they unleashed theirs sonic scream. With the Maximals out of commission as a result and feeling he'd found a kindred spirit, [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] lost no time in befriending Transmutate. Though [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] failed to see the value in the mutant and wanted them destroyed, Rampage intended to prove them a worthy ally. He and Inferno persuaded them to act as bait for a trap for [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]. When Transmutate was reluctant to finish off the Maximal, Inferno pushed the creature aside and was promptly blasted into the distance for his troubles.

[[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] arrived and, defeating Rampage, persuaded Transmutate to return with him to the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' for a scan. The results were discouraging—Optimus felt that they were a danger to themself as well as those around them, [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] suggested putting them into [[stasis lock]], and Silverbolt was the only one to speak up angrily in their favor. Walking through the base alone, Transmutate heard Rampage calling to them, and opted to leave the ''Axalon'' to join him.

Silverbolt quickly found the pair and immediately came to blows with Rampage. Transmutate tried to get them to stop, landing between them right as they each fired missiles. Transmutate blazed with power as they tried to halt the missiles, but was shattered in the resulting explosion and, though their consciousness lingered for a few moments more, their spark was extinguished. {{storylink|Transmutate (episode)|Transmutate}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:Timelines Trans-MutateCardArt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|left|Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away.]]

In [[Primax 209.0 Gamma|a parallel reality]] where the Maximals and Predacons were created by the Autobots and Decepticons to serve as proxy armies to continue fighting in their stead, the 'bot who would become known as "Trans-Mutate" was a fully-formed Maximal. Cheerful and curious about everything around her, she suffered from a disconnect in her processors that prevented her from properly interpreting emotions and social cues, which only made her all the more fascinated in her fellow Maximals and the way they interacted with the world, and with her. For this condition, the cruel had given her the mocking nickname of "Trans-Mutate", but would likely have thought twice about doing so if they had realized that she was a [[Point One Percenter]], possessing a terrifyingly powerful [[spark]] that gave her a strength she herself feared and tried to forget about.

[[File:AloneTogetherPerception Trans-Mutate.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Observing multiple instances of incompatible, contradictory information in the official history logs of Cybertron and concluding that it had been perpetrated deliberately, the innocent-minded Trans-Mutate brought her concerns to the authorities, who reacted not with a desire to see it corrected, as she had expected, but with an anger she could not understand—they, of course, were the ones ''responsible'' for adjusting the history logs for their own purposes. Trans-Mutate ended up allying with the mobster [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]], though she did not comprehend that he was a criminal: she sided with him because ''his'' account of history matched the facts she had gathered. When her usefulness to Cryotek ended, he discarded her, but she was rescued from the authorities by [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]] and fell in with [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]'s freedom fighters, struggling to overthrow the masters who forced them to fight a continuous war. Though she understood that she had been wrong in trusting Cryotek, she could not understand ''why''. {{storylink|Perception}} {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 55|Transmutate's profile in Club magazine #55}}

[[File:AloneTogetherPerception Trans-Mutate vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|left]]
During the group's raid on the [[Ferromax Detention Center]] to free [[Dinobot (BW)|Dynobot]], Trans-Mutate found herself distracted by a voice emanating from a cell on the maximum security level: [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], a fellow Point One Percenter who sensed a kindred spirit in her, and who told her that he could feel the pain in her [[spark]]. The Maximals freed Dynobot, and before they left, Rampage promised Trans-Mutate that they would meet again. {{storylink|Alone Together: Prologue|Prologue}} Unfortunately, Trans-Mutate was captured during the escape, tried, and sentenced to incarceration on [[Garrus-16]]. En route, however, the prison ship ''[[Claustrum]]'' suffered a hull breach, jettisoning her stasis pod, which crashed on dwarf planet [[Metascan Omega|LGC-8803]]. Taking the [[navicomp]] from the pod to supply advice, she explored and discovered a huge structure. A short time later, she was found by Rampage, who had also been imprisoned aboard the ''Claustrum''. {{storylink|Perception}} When he turned out to be so low on energy he could barely stand, she connected him to the navicomp to give him power, and he filled her in on the concept of Point One Percenters. The pair soon realized that they were not alone, and came under attack from [[Bruton]] and [[Medusa]]. Despite putting up a fair battle, they were rendered unconscious and presented to [[Lord Imperious Delirious]]. {{storylink|Kindred}}

[[File:AloneTogetherClarity RampageTransMutateDelirious.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.45]]
The [[Destructon]] leader provided the pair with [[energon]] and revealed that he had shot the ''Claustrum'' down in order to liberate them. Explaining the origins of himself and his friends, who were all "second-born intellects"—being created by other beings—that had rebelled against their creators, Delirious invited Trans-Mutate and Rampage to join their ranks. Trans-Mutate, however, spotted the inconsistencies in Lord Imperious Delirious's story and, having uncomfortable memories of Cryotek, insisted that she and Rampage would be leaving. When pressed, she pointed out that Delirious had to be lying, because there was no way he could have known about them being on board the ship; the Destructon leader confirmed her suspicions, explaining he had shot the ship down purely to salvage its tech, but insisted that "broken" 'bots like them belonged in his care. Rampage wavered, but Trans-Mutate firmly refuted the notion that she was "broken"—and Lord Imperious Delirious responded with his hallucinogenic Delirious Fire. {{storylink|Delirious}} Trans-Mutate found herself floating in a fragmented space, unable to string together a thought, until Rampage was able to mentally contact her and persuade her to use her power to break them both free. They were immediately attacked by the Destructons, and Trans-Mutate sliced Medusa in two. The Destructons opted to leave Rampage and Trans-Mutate to be picked up by whomever answered the distress call Delirious had sent to Cybertron. {{storylink|Clarity}}

:Eight years after the character's fictional debut, Trans-Mutate was given a toy release as part of the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|Beast Wars 10th Anniversary]]'' toyline, split into components included with the first six figures in the line as the ''Transformers'' franchise's first "build-a-figure". (And ''only'' "build-a-figure", until the release of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Maccadam#Toys|Maccadam]] in 2020.) Trans-Mutate's head came with Waspinator, the torso with Cheetor, the waist and right leg with Rhinox, the left leg with "Tarantulus", the right arm with Rattrap, and the left arm with Dinobot.

:All six parts combine into a non-converting figure that stands about a head taller than the ''Beast Wars'' Deluxe Class molds with which its components were included. They have no action features and only limited articulation... but the simple fact that such a deliberately non-toyetic character featured in only one episode even ''got'' a toy is itself an extraordinary occurrence.

:According to [[Ben Yee]] on [[Madman Entertainment]]'s ''Beast Wars'' Season 2 DVD commentaries, Hasbro attempted to replicate Trans-Mutate's sonic scream attacks, first as a spring-loaded projectile, then as a static decoration, before finally abandoning the idea.

:The plastic in Trans-Mutate's legs is very rubbery and prone to warping, leaving the toy unable to stand unsupported after a few years.

==Notes==
*A point of argument is why the Maximals were so quick to stasis-lock Transmutate instead of transferring their spark to another body like Rhinox did with Optimus Primal following the latter's unintentional sacrifice. It was stated only that their [[core consciousness]] and body structure were mutilated beyond recovery; no mention was made about the condition of their spark. Of course, the euthanasia metaphor of the character's title episode would fall apart if they did that, but hey, semantics.

*The episode script's cast listing section describes the character as thus: "TRANSMUTATE: a being with no beauty of form nor logic of shape, massive, made of unmatched parts: bits of Predacon, pieces of Maximal, chunks of Fuzor and Transmetal, heavy-duty weapons, and a face that vaguely indicates it is female." This wording lends some credence to the idea that Transmutate was originally a female Protoform. However, Transmutate is consistently referred to within the script using genderless pronouns, confusing the issue. In 2014, an alternate universe version of Transmutate would be depicted as female by a [[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|''Timelines'']] toy and corresponding Club magazine story.

[[File:Transmutate.jpg|250px|thumb|MU-tilate. MU-tant. Hm. I wonder. Oh well.]]

Twisted and warped, '''Transmutate''' (also '''Trans-Mutate''') is a [[Transformer]] in name only. The damage done to them by their troubled birth has rendered them unable to [[transformation|transform]], and reduced their mind to infancy, leaving them utterly innocent in personality and able to grasp only simple concepts. Their trusting and curious nature is both a boon and a handicap.

Transmutate's distorted frame conceals almost unbelievable destructive power in the form of a super-sonic scream which can leave all but the hardiest victim out cold. Their simple mind means that many of their capabilities remain unknown, even to themself, and they will express surprise when, for instance, they find they have the ability to flyyyyyyyyy.

{{voiceactor|[[Susan Blu]] (English), [[Haruna Ikezawa]] (Japanese)|[[Xu Lin]] (Chinese), [[Luca Bottale]] (Italian)}}
[[File:Transmutate Rampage.jpg|thumb|left|230px]]
Transmutate's [[stasis pod]] was one of many aboard the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' and at some point crashed from [[Earth]] orbit in seismically-unstable [[Grid Deltron]]. The heavily-damaged pod later became uncovered by the region's earthquakes and Transmutate explosively freed itself. Presented with the choice of [[Maximal]] or [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]], they hesitated and when [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] accidentally shot them, they unleashed theirs sonic scream. With the Maximals out of commission as a result and feeling he'd found a kindred spirit, [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] lost no time in befriending Transmutate. Though [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] failed to see the value in the mutant and wanted them destroyed, Rampage intended to prove them a worthy ally. He and Inferno persuaded them to act as bait for a trap for [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]. When Transmutate was reluctant to finish off the Maximal, Inferno pushed the creature aside and was promptly blasted into the distance for his troubles.

[[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] arrived and, defeating Rampage, persuaded Transmutate to return with him to the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' for a scan. The results were discouraging—Optimus felt that they were a danger to themself as well as those around them, [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] suggested putting them into [[stasis lock]], and Silverbolt was the only one to speak up angrily in their favor. Walking through the base alone, Transmutate heard Rampage calling to them, and opted to leave the ''Axalon'' to join him.

Silverbolt quickly found the pair and immediately came to blows with Rampage. Transmutate tried to get them to stop, landing between them right as they each fired missiles. Transmutate blazed with power as they tried to halt the missiles, but was shattered in the resulting explosion and, though their consciousness lingered for a few moments more, their spark was extinguished. {{storylink|Transmutate (episode)|Transmutate}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:Timelines Trans-MutateCardArt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|left|Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away.]]

In [[Primax 209.0 Gamma|a parallel reality]] where the Maximals and Predacons were created by the Autobots and Decepticons to serve as proxy armies to continue fighting in their stead, the 'bot who would become known as "Trans-Mutate" was a fully-formed Maximal. Cheerful and curious about everything around her, she suffered from a disconnect in her processors that prevented her from properly interpreting emotions and social cues, which only made her all the more fascinated in her fellow Maximals and the way they interacted with the world, and with her. For this condition, the cruel had given her the mocking nickname of "Trans-Mutate", but would likely have thought twice about doing so if they had realized that she was a [[Point One Percenter]], possessing a terrifyingly powerful [[spark]] that gave her a strength she herself feared and tried to forget about.

[[File:AloneTogetherPerception Trans-Mutate.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Observing multiple instances of incompatible, contradictory information in the official history logs of Cybertron and concluding that it had been perpetrated deliberately, the innocent-minded Trans-Mutate brought her concerns to the authorities, who reacted not with a desire to see it corrected, as she had expected, but with an anger she could not understand—they, of course, were the ones ''responsible'' for adjusting the history logs for their own purposes. Trans-Mutate ended up allying with the mobster [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]], though she did not comprehend that he was a criminal: she sided with him because ''his'' account of history matched the facts she had gathered. When her usefulness to Cryotek ended, he discarded her, but she was rescued from the authorities by [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]] and fell in with [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]'s freedom fighters, struggling to overthrow the masters who forced them to fight a continuous war. Though she understood that she had been wrong in trusting Cryotek, she could not understand ''why''. {{storylink|Perception}} {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 55|Transmutate's profile in Club magazine #55}}

[[File:AloneTogetherPerception Trans-Mutate vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|left]]
During the group's raid on the [[Ferromax Detention Center]] to free [[Dinobot (BW)|Dynobot]], Trans-Mutate found herself distracted by a voice emanating from a cell on the maximum security level: [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], a fellow Point One Percenter who sensed a kindred spirit in her, and who told her that he could feel the pain in her [[spark]]. The Maximals freed Dynobot, and before they left, Rampage promised Trans-Mutate that they would meet again. {{storylink|Alone Together: Prologue|Prologue}} Unfortunately, Trans-Mutate was captured during the escape, tried, and sentenced to incarceration on [[Garrus-16]]. En route, however, the prison ship ''[[Claustrum]]'' suffered a hull breach, jettisoning her stasis pod, which crashed on dwarf planet [[Metascan Omega|LGC-8803]]. Taking the [[navicomp]] from the pod to supply advice, she explored and discovered a huge structure. A short time later, she was found by Rampage, who had also been imprisoned aboard the ''Claustrum''. {{storylink|Perception}} When he turned out to be so low on energy he could barely stand, she connected him to the navicomp to give him power, and he filled her in on the concept of Point One Percenters. The pair soon realized that they were not alone, and came under attack from [[Bruton]] and [[Medusa]]. Despite putting up a fair battle, they were rendered unconscious and presented to [[Lord Imperious Delirious]]. {{storylink|Kindred}}

[[File:AloneTogetherClarity RampageTransMutateDelirious.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.45]]
The [[Destructon]] leader provided the pair with [[energon]] and revealed that he had shot the ''Claustrum'' down in order to liberate them. Explaining the origins of himself and his friends, who were all "second-born intellects"—being created by other beings—that had rebelled against their creators, Delirious invited Trans-Mutate and Rampage to join their ranks. Trans-Mutate, however, spotted the inconsistencies in Lord Imperious Delirious's story and, having uncomfortable memories of Cryotek, insisted that she and Rampage would be leaving. When pressed, she pointed out that Delirious had to be lying, because there was no way he could have known about them being on board the ship; the Destructon leader confirmed her suspicions, explaining he had shot the ship down purely to salvage its tech, but insisted that "broken" 'bots like them belonged in his care. Rampage wavered, but Trans-Mutate firmly refuted the notion that she was "broken"—and Lord Imperious Delirious responded with his hallucinogenic Delirious Fire. {{storylink|Delirious}} Trans-Mutate found herself floating in a fragmented space, unable to string together a thought, until Rampage was able to mentally contact her and persuade her to use her power to break them both free. They were immediately attacked by the Destructons, and Trans-Mutate sliced Medusa in two. The Destructons opted to leave Rampage and Trans-Mutate to be picked up by whomever answered the distress call Delirious had sent to Cybertron. {{storylink|Clarity}}

:Eight years after the character's fictional debut, Trans-Mutate was given a toy release as part of the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|Beast Wars 10th Anniversary]]'' toyline, split into components included with the first six figures in the line as the ''Transformers'' franchise's first "build-a-figure". (And ''only'' "build-a-figure", until the release of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Maccadam#Toys|Maccadam]] in 2020.) Trans-Mutate's head came with Waspinator, the torso with Cheetor, the waist and right leg with Rhinox, the left leg with "Tarantulus", the right arm with Rattrap, and the left arm with Dinobot.

:All six parts combine into a non-converting figure that stands about a head taller than the ''Beast Wars'' Deluxe Class molds with which its components were included. They have no action features and only limited articulation... but the simple fact that such a deliberately non-toyetic character featured in only one episode even ''got'' a toy is itself an extraordinary occurrence.

:According to [[Ben Yee]] on [[Madman Entertainment]]'s ''Beast Wars'' Season 2 DVD commentaries, Hasbro attempted to replicate Trans-Mutate's sonic scream attacks, first as a spring-loaded projectile, then as a static decoration, before finally abandoning the idea.

:The plastic in Trans-Mutate's legs is very rubbery and prone to warping, leaving the toy unable to stand unsupported after a few years.

==Notes==
*A point of argument is why the Maximals were so quick to stasis-lock Transmutate instead of transferring their spark to another body like Rhinox did with Optimus Primal following the latter's unintentional sacrifice. It was stated only that their [[core consciousness]] and body structure were mutilated beyond recovery; no mention was made about the condition of their spark. Of course, the euthanasia metaphor of the character's title episode would fall apart if they did that, but hey, semantics.
**The script for this episode explicitly states that Transmutate's spark was unstable: "Energy ERUPTS throughout Its body as Its own unstable spark begins to tear It apart." Although stage direction and narration from scripts are only [[pseudocanon]], this may nonetheless satisfy some that the spark was indeed as damaged as the body.

Generations Selects (toyline)

2021-02-23T18:15:27Z

Victinoko: /* Hasbro */

{{nav-gs}}
[[File:TF-Generations-Selects-Decepticon-Exhaust-Box.jpg|thumb|upright=2.1]]
Debuting in [[2019]], '''''Generations Selects''''' is a series of exclusive figures sold mainly through online retailers, intersecting multiple thematic sublines of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''. The line consists of special edition redecoes and retools of ''Generations'' figures, packaged in brown cardboard mailer boxes broadly similar to the late [[Transformers Collectors' Club|TFCC]] [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|Figure Subscription Service]].

As with other ''Transformers'' lines from [[2018]] onward, Hasbro and TakaraTomy attempt to make ''Generations Selects'' equally available to fans in each other's primary market. U.S. and Canadian fans (except in Québec) can purchase Takara ''Selects'' figures from [[Hasbro Pulse]] while Japanese fans can purchase some Hasbro ''Selects'' figures from [[TakaraTomy Mall]].

{{TOCclear}}

==Toys==
===Hasbro===
Hasbro announced the ''Generations Selects'' branding in late 2018, with Ricochet and Red Swoop as the nominal debut figures for the line. However, the first figure to reach fans wound up being Combat Megatron, who was made available for order concurrently with New York [[Toy Fair 2019]]. Packaged in robot mode, Hasbro's ''Selects'' figures have no price markup compared to regular retail figures. [[Hasbro Pulse]] debuts ''Generations Selects'' figures for the U.S. and Canadian markets while fans in Hasbro's other markets must resort to various physical or online retailers, with the only exclusive being [[Red Wing#Generations|Decepticon Red Wing]] to the [[Target]] website (though he was eventually rereleased to other online retailers in 2020). Thus far, Hasbro ''Selects'' figures have been limited to straight redecoes, sometimes with "pretooled" alternate heads and accessories.

Following Ricochet and Red Swoop, who featured a [[Halo of Primus]] design on their packaging and were explicitly labeled as ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' by their instructions, the line transitioned to a new standard packaging design featuring the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' logo. [[2019]]'s releases were labeled as belonging to the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' portion of the trilogy by their instruction booklets, while in [[2020]], instruction sheets used the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' installment's graphic design elements, but not the logo itself (except [[Hot House (facility)#Generations|Hot House]], for reasons unclear). The Spy Patrol set was also [[:File:ToyFair2020-HasbroSlideShow11.jpg|labeled]] as part of ''Earthrise'' during the [[Toy Fair 2020]] presentation.

===TakaraTomy===
TakaraTomy's '''''Generation Selects''''' {{sic}} figures succeed the niche of the previous [[2014]] to [[2019]] ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' series, featuring uniquely extensive retooling and higher-budget paint operations for accuracy to each character's era of origin in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]]. Additionally, the Japanese version of ''Generations Selects'' features a heavy emphasis on [[combiner]] teams, a feature noticeably absent from the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toyline. Due to the ''Transformers'' market in Japan being smaller and shrinking, Takara's turnout of ''Selects'' figures is smaller compared to ''Legends'' and ''Unite Warriors''. As with those lines, Takara's figures are packaged in alternate mode.

As per brand unification, [[Hasbro Pulse]] releases these figures with no changes save for a black packaging sleeve labeled in English. Soundblaster's ''Selects'' branding is unique to Hasbro Pulse's release, with the original TakaraTomy release being part of ''Siege''.

==Notes==
*Shortly before the inception of ''Generations Selects'', Hasbro seems to have tested the concept of "special edition" Deluxe Class figures in boxed packaging with ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Arcee]] and [[Grotusque#Generations|Grotusque]], followed up by ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' [[Blast Off (G1)#PWTSE|Blast Off]], [[Repugnus (G1)#PWTSE|Repugnus]], and [[Punch (G1)#Power of the Primes|Punch-Counterpunch]].

Generations Selects (toyline)

Debuting in [[2019]], '''''Generations Selects''''' is a series of exclusive figures sold mainly through online retailers, intersecting multiple thematic sublines of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''. The line consists of special edition redecoes and retools of ''Generations'' figures, packaged in brown cardboard mailer boxes broadly similar to the late [[Transformers Collectors' Club|TFCC]] [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service|Figure Subscription Service]].

As with other ''Transformers'' lines from [[2018]] onward, Hasbro and TakaraTomy attempt to make ''Generations Selects'' equally available to fans in each other's primary market. U.S. and Canadian fans (except in Québec) can purchase Takara ''Selects'' figures from [[Hasbro Pulse]] while Japanese fans can purchase some Hasbro ''Selects'' figures from [[TakaraTomy Mall]].

===Hasbro===
Hasbro announced the ''Generations Selects'' branding in late 2018, with Ricochet and Red Swoop as the nominal debut figures for the line. However, the first figure to reach fans wound up being Combat Megatron, who was made available for order concurrently with New York [[Toy Fair 2019]]. Packaged in robot mode, Hasbro's ''Selects'' figures have no price markup compared to regular retail figures. [[Hasbro Pulse]] debuts ''Generations Selects'' figures for the U.S. and Canadian markets while fans in Hasbro's other markets must resort to various physical or online retailers, with the only exclusive being [[Red Wing#Generations|Decepticon Red Wing]] to the [[Target]] website (though he was eventually rereleased to other online retailers in 2020). Thus far, Hasbro ''Selects'' figures have been limited to straight redecoes, sometimes with "pretooled" alternate heads and accessories.

Following Ricochet and Red Swoop, who featured a [[Halo of Primus]] design on their packaging and were explicitly labeled as ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' by their instructions, the line transitioned to a new standard packaging design featuring the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' logo. [[2019]]'s releases were labeled as belonging to the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' portion of the trilogy by their instruction booklets, while in [[2020]], instruction sheets used the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' installment's graphic design elements, but not the logo itself (except [[Hot House (facility)#Generations|Hot House]], for reasons unclear). The Spy Patrol set was also [[:File:ToyFair2020-HasbroSlideShow11.jpg|labeled]] as part of ''Earthrise'' during the [[Toy Fair 2020]] presentation.

===TakaraTomy===
TakaraTomy's '''''Generation Selects''''' {{sic}} figures succeed the niche of the previous [[2014]] to [[2019]] ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' series, featuring uniquely extensive retooling and higher-budget paint operations for accuracy to each character's era of origin in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]]. Additionally, the Japanese version of ''Generations Selects'' features a heavy emphasis on [[combiner]] teams, a feature noticeably absent from the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toyline. Due to the ''Transformers'' market in Japan being smaller and shrinking, Takara's turnout of ''Selects'' figures is smaller compared to ''Legends'' and ''Unite Warriors''. As with those lines, Takara's figures are packaged in alternate mode.

As per brand unification, [[Hasbro Pulse]] releases these figures with no changes save for a black packaging sleeve labeled in English. Soundblaster's ''Selects'' branding is unique to Hasbro Pulse's release, with the original TakaraTomy release being part of ''Siege''.

Titans Return (toyline)

2021-02-23T14:51:46Z

Victinoko: /* Notes */

{{nav-TitansReturn}}

[[File:TitansReturn workswith.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.25|And it works with compatible 'bot, too!]]

'''''Titans Return''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, constituting the second portion of the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''.

Introduced in mid-2016, ''Titans Return'' (initially touted under the early working name ''Titan Wars'') features its own new line-wide gimmick: all Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures include a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]-style [[Titan Master]] partner, all of which are completely interchangeable. To compensate for the size differences, Leader Class figures feature large helmets that cover the Titan Masters, while Voyager Class figures have spring-loaded pop-out adornments to "bulk up" their heads.<ref name="heads">It should be noted, though, that most of the Titan Master heads for the Leader Class figures are basically just larger-scaled "faces" that look incomplete without a corresponding helmet, which results in the smaller-scaled full heads of the other Titan Master figures looking rather obviously out of scale when used on a Leader Class figure.</ref> All Voyager and most Leader Class figures are [[Triple Changer]]s; each Leader Class figure's third mode is a base/battle station, which can be manned by the Titan Master figures. Each Deluxe and Voyager figure's hand-held weapons can transform and/or combine to form a "turret" that any Titan Master can sit in, and which can attach to the base modes of the Leader Class figures. Most figures feature several tiny pegs dotted across their bodies, which allow Titan Masters to stand securely on them.

Additionally, a new Titan Master assortment was introduced, each including a single Titan Master, plus a small vehicle or beast. These can transform into a vehicle/beast for the Titan Master to ride, a second vehicle/beast formed by ''combining'' with the Titan Master, and a [[5 mm post|5 mm]] weapon for a larger figure to wield. Legends Class figures started out as predominantly [[Mini-Cassette]] characters, which can transform into both a vehicle and a blocky PDA that can fit inside Leader Class figures such as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blaster]]. Starting with Wave 3, this changed into focusing on [[Mini Vehicle]]s which can often carry Titan Master passengers.

Though never officially addressed by [[Hasbro]], Deluxes no longer included comic books (previously included with ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' and ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' figures in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia) in any market, thus eliminating the need for English-only packaging entirely, leaving only two types of [[multilingual packaging]], one for Europe and the other for all non-European markets. However, the character cards included with all figures (except for Titan Masters) now featured [[Tech Spec]] stats on their back.

Titans Return also finally brought back a minor but significant feature missing from several previous lines: All [[size class]]es are explicitly identified by name on the packaging again (in multiple languages, no less), thus leaving no unnecessary room for confusion with outdated working names floating around. [[#Notes|Sort of]].

Voting for the second Titan Class figure was conducted via Facebook, with fans choosing between a remake of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Generations|Trypticon]], or [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/926169094119952/?type=3&permPage=1 November 24 2016 photo]</ref> Trypticon won, but the other two got new figures in the following trilogy.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/931380200265508/?type=3 There truly is nothing that can stand in the way of Trypticon. With your votes, he smashed his way to becoming the next Generations Titans Return Titan Class toy. Mark your calendars, and look for him to hit shelves late 2017.]</ref>

Toys with "spy tablet" modes are designed to fit inside [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blaster]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]]'s chest compartments. All the rest have some form of opening cockpit in their vehicle or beast modes that can seat a Titan Master mini-figure, with the exception of Cosmos.

====Store exclusives====
While most of these figures and sets were exclusive to particular online or brick and mortar venues in the U.S., they were available at general retail in Asia, with the exception of the "Chaos on Velocitron" set, which was a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Asia as well. In Canada, "Chaos on Velocitron" was released as Toys"R"Us exclusive, while "Siege on Cybertron" was initially available via Toys"R"Us but was later stocked by other stores and online retailers as well. In addition, "Siege on Cybertron" was also available at [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in Mexico and at BOL in the Netherlands.

A pair of three-packs featuring [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Arcee]] and [[Grotusque#Generations|Grotusque]] were shared exclusives, having initial releases via Hasbro Toy Shop (and in Arcee's case, a special "early access" release at [[HasCon 2017]] and [[New York Comic Con#2017|NYCC 2017]]), before later being made available via the Toys"R"Us website. The Grotusque set was also available at Toys"R"Us in Hong Kong.

Additionally, pharmacy chain Walgreens also carried two exclusives: For 2016, it was [[Brainstorm (G1)#TRDeluxe|Brainstorm]], who was omitted from the general retail Deluxe Class assortment, while for 2017, it was a two-pack featuring Legends Class [[Wingspan#Generations|Wingspan]] & [[Cloudraker (G1)#Generations|Cloudraker]], who were originally intended to be part of two additional five-figure box sets that never made it. Brainstorm was also available as a general retail release in Malaysia (where he ended up as a royal shelfwarmer) and at Ripley stores in Chile, while the Wingspan/Cloudraker set was available as a general retail release in Taiwan, at Julio Cepeda Jugueterías in Mexico, at EB Games stores in Canada, and at Falabella stores in Colombia.

===="Special Edition" Deluxe====
In 2018, during the course of ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', Hasbro released three exclusive Deluxe Class figures in premium-style boxes, each with a [[Prime Master]], to commemorate the ''Prime Wars Trilogy''. Each figure represents one part of the trilogy. Special Edition Repugnus was exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in North America but available at general retail in Hong Kong and Singapore.

*As has been noted at the beginning of this page, ''Titans Return'' started out under the working name "'''''Titan Wars'''''". That earlier title was featured in schematics on display during [[BotCon 2015]], which constituted the first public hint of the successor to ''Combiner Wars'', as well as in a leaked internal Hasbro sheet for the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2016 exclusive version of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#SDCC2016|Fortress Maximus]].<ref name="fmsheet">[http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/11/13/titan-wars-fortress-maximus-revealed-305250 Leaked internal Hasbro sheet] for the SDCC exclusive version of Fortress Maximus at TFW2005.</ref> According to former Hasbro Global Brand Development Manager [[Mark Weber]], the cause for the name change were unspecified "legal restrictions".<ref name="force">[https://thefullforce.podbean.com/e/the-full-force-series-4-episode-9/ The Full Force Series 4 Episode 9]</ref> The final name "Titans Return" was first officially used at [[New York Comic Con]] 2015.

*Technically, the first figure specifically designed for the ''Titans Return'' [[play pattern]] that got released was Legends Class [[Buzzsaw (G1)#CWLegends|Buzzsaw]], who was given an early release under the ''Combiner Wars'' subline imprint. In fact, comparing the product code and assortment numbers of the first two waves' worth of figures strongly implies that Hasbro originally intended to simply continue the ''Combiner Wars'' assortments with ''Titans Return'' product, rather than relaunching them as new assortments. Under this line-up, Stripes and Rewind would have presumably been released as part of wave 6 of the Legends Class assortment alongside [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Generations|Wreck-Gar]] while Wheelie would have been released in the subsequent wave together with Ravage and Rumble, and Laserbeak in the wave after that. Blaster would have been released as part of wave 6 of the Leader Class assortment (following wave 5's [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Skywarp]]) with Powermaster Optimus Prime released in the subsequent wave. The Deluxe and Voyager line-ups would have presumably remained unchanged.
*Early in the toy line's life cycle, Hasbro Australia promoted the ''Titans Return'' figures with three different full-scale advertisement posters (alternatively depicting Powermaster Optimus Prime, Fortress Maximus, or Galvatron) found at numerous public transport stations. This form of public advertisement is pretty much unprecedented for ''Transformers'' toys in general, and for a "collector"-oriented line in particular!<ref name="ozads">[http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/09/27/titans-return-bus-stop-adverts-high-resolution-images-325451 Titans Return bus stop adverts high resolution images] at TFW2005</ref>
*Beginning with wave 3 figures, the pictograms on the tech-spec cards went through some minor cosmetic changes from the previous waves; the strength icon changed from a whole muscular torso to just a muscular arm, the 'motion blur' effect on the running humanoid figure which marks speed changed from triangles to striations, the intelligence icon switched from a human brain to a Cybertronian's head silhouette with gears inside, and lastly the firepower icon changed from just a bullet to a bullet followed by a blast effect.
*Another change that occurred with the wave 3 figures was that the default packaging design was now "Decepticon"-themed, after having previously been "Autobot"-themed ever since the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' line in 2014, prompting some people to incorrectly assume a packaging design error.
*Listings in Toys"R"Us's internal systems and on Amazon Germany's public website indicated that Wave 5 would also include [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] and [[Toraizer]] Titan Masters, but no such toys ever materialized, with Ramhorn being the only new wave 5 Titan Master. Listings on Walmart's public website for the UPCs assigned to those figures also exist, but now read "discontinued by vendor".
*''Titans Return'' is, to date, the last ''Generations'' sub-line to have differences in toy deco or tooling between the international Hasbro releases and Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] releases; the subsequent ''Power of the Primes'' toyline had identical toys released by both Takara and Hasbro.
*An AR (Augmented Reality) game for mobile devices was seemingly considered to be made to tie into the toyline, as seen from concept art on the Artstation page of concept artist Rob Wiggins. This game even featured a new design for Omega Supreme. Unfortunately, all of Rob Wiggin's Transformers-related posts have been taken down.

==Fiction==
===S.T.A.R.S. pack-in flyers===
The Powerdashers featured in two early [[S.T.A.R.S. continuity|recruiting messages]] sent to [[human]]s by the Autobots. The messages were almost identical in content, claiming that the Autobots marooned on Earth were becoming desperate in their battle against the [[Decepticon]]s, sending an S.O.S. to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] even though they didn't know if anyone would be there to receive it. Luckily, their plea was answered in the form of the Powerdashers, [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibot]]s, and [[Time Warrior (G1)|Time Warrior]]s. The only Powerdasher seen was the jet-form model, but the message noted that the Powerdashers' state of constant evolution meant that they might not look the same later. {{storylink|Reinforcements from Cybertron!}} {{storylink|The battle is far from over!}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
The three Powerdashers were created with a primitive design based on the forms of very early Cybertronians. Meant to aid the Autobots on Earth, the Powerdashers' powers and personalities were still growing when they were put into duty. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye}} They were packed in stasis aboard the supply ship ''[[Orion]]'', which ended up crashing on Earth after getting shot down by [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. The crew activated the Powerdashers, who awoke without a word and immediately began working on the ship. When they finished, they packed up their tools and quietly went back on board. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}}

Zetar attended Megatron's 54th gladiatorial match in the days before the war. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}

[[Cromar]] and the other Powerdashers fought under [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]] in a battle on [[Clemency]]. Cromar's team was ordered by Magnus to try to disable the [[Nightmare Engine]], but the group was interrupted by a [[K-Class]] [[Decepticon]] bombing. {{storylink|The Gloaming}}

===''Kre-O'' comic===
[[File:KreO-webcomic-6-Zetar.jpg|thumb|100px|"Man, that guy's got a small face."]]
When the mighty [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]] attacked the Autobot base and tried to stomp on [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]], the Autobot leader flashed on a brilliant idea: tickle the sole of Devastator's foot! Zetar helped out, and the giant laughed so hard he toppled over backwards, crushing the unlucky [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] under the combiner's big butt. {{Storylink|A New Menace!

*'''Powerdasher''' (Mail-order, [[1984]])

: This version of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Powerdasher transforms into a Cybertronic drill tank, featuring a [[pull-back motor]] in vehicle mode, allowing it to quickly roll forward across flat surfaces.

: It was only available as a [[Pack-in material#Mail-order flyers|mail-order]] [[exclusive]] from [[Hasbro]], costing $3 and 2 [[Robot Point]]s. The jet-mode Powerdasher was the only one pictured in the ads, but the type you got ended up being random. The jet-form Powerdasher appears to be the most common model sent, however.

[[File:TF-Generations-Selects-Deluxe-Zetar.jpg|thumb|300px|Looks like he got the ''brunt'' of the design changes.]]
*'''Powerdasher Zetar''' (Deluxe Weaponizer, [[2019]])
**''Hasbro ID number:'' '''WFC-GS08'''
**''Takara release date:'' '''[[September 7]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': 2-part cannon barrel, drill bit

:A ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' accompaniment to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', "Powerdasher Zetar" is a [[retool]] of [[Brunt (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Brunt]], with a body based on the [[Centurion droid]] from [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Stormbringer|Stormbringer]]'' comic miniseries that transforms into a Cybertronian drill tank and back. In tank mode, Zetar's turret rotates and can also raise and lower his cannon vertically. In robot mode, Zetar features two-thirds of a new head (the front of Brunt's face makes up the back of Zetar's head), with a 5 mm post on top to mount his new drill-tip skullcap/accessory. He is also compatible with the "Fire Blast" effect pieces from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Like the other ''Generations Selects'' figures complementing ''Siege'', he lacks "battle damage" paint applications.

: Like his fellow "Weaponizer" figures, he can also separate into multiple parts compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] to form armor and weapons for other figures of the subline, with two configurations shown in his instructions. The "Demolition Loadout" has him split into a "C-HP M2 OBV Launcher" (his lower legs in vehicle-cannon mode), a "C-AD M2 VX Cannon" backpack (waist/upper legs), the "C-CR M2 AGZ Blaster" (torso & drill in a loose connection that relies on the friction of the base of the drill and the lip of the torso's connector), two "C-CMA M2 ME Amplifier" boots (arms), and the "C-HD M2 Turret Armor" shield (turret base). The "Serpentine Loadout" turns practically the entire figure into a backpack with a pair of massive "HMC" (Hydraulic Mauler Claw) arms and a "PBM" (Proximity Boost Module, whatever the heck ''that'' means). Curiously, the instructions for ''all'' of his modes completely omit the 2-part cannon barrel accessory left over from Brunt, though stock photography from both Hasbro and TakaraTomy shows this accessory in use.

:Caution is advised when transforming Zetar's tank treads into his robot mode arms. The treads themselves must be pulled outwards and fully extended until they lock into place. However, the swivel joints used to connect the treads to his shoulders can pop out vertically if too much force is applied. This risks breaking the swivel joint housing, due to being designed to pop out horizontally rather than vertically.

:Zetar was released exclusively through [[TakaraTomy Mall]] in Japan, and various online retailers in North America. Zetar was also available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets such as Singapore.

:This mold also served as the model for [[Metrotank]] in the [[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 4: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part One|''Legends'' manga]], and the original Brunt sculpt was redecoed as a Centurion Drone.

==Notes==
[[File:G1-toy PowerdasherDrill-Diaclone.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Bluntly, to the point...]]
* The drill Powerdasher was originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy called the "Drill Dasher". The ''Transformers'' version blunted the drill [[for safety reasons]], removed the "DRILL DASHER" text from the factory-applied cockpit [[sticker]]s, and omitted the extra sticker sheet for the cockpit and legs. And, of course, the Diaclone pilot was dropped. Of the three Dashers, it was the only one to not undergo a change of plastic color when being brought over for ''Transformers''.
* "Zetar" was the name given to the Takara U.S. ''[[Diakron]]'', [[GiG]] Italian ''[[Trasformer]]'', and [[Joustra]] French ''Diaclone'' releases of the toy. The Powerdasher Drill would not explicitly be given the name in ''Transformers'' fiction until the Facebook edition of "[[Ask Vector Prime]]" in 2015.
* The Powerdashers were the first Cybertronian (well, non-Earthly) vehicular toys released—and were released in 1984, to boot.
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' manga, Zetar is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. Unlike most [[Kreon]]s, he doesn't have a helmet; instead, he has a small drill-bit attached to the top of his head.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Zetar''' (IDW, ジーター ''Jītā''), '''Zeta''' (''Siege'', ゼータ ''Zēta'')<ref>Backmatter in the Japanese release of [[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye#Japanese Reprints|''More than Meets the Eye'' Vol. 2]] interpreted Zetar's name as a neologism from English. By contrast, the Japanese release of the ''Generations Selects'' toy gave Zetar's name in Japanese as the actual Greek letter Ζ / ζ.</ref>
*''Cantonese'': '''Zetar''' (扎他 ''Zaat3taa1'')
*''Mandarin'': '''Zetar''' (Taiwan, 澤塔 ''Zétǎ'')
