:''Bumblebee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[Image:PrimeBee.jpg|thumb|300px|... and, from the Planet of the Mimes, the Copper Kidd!]]
'''Bumblebee''' is a young and eager Autobot, one of the last generation to be created before the loss of the [[AllSpark]]. He's full of energy and determination to do the right thing, and can always be counted on to volunteer for action. His small size matched with his impressive speed make him an excellent scout and messenger.

He's been on Earth longer than any other Autobot, and he's grown to like and understand [[human]]s, particularly [[Raf Esquivel]] and [[Axel Frazier]]. If you're a Decepticon and you want to threaten any humans, you better not think you can get away with it just because Bumblebee's small and can't talk: he can't talk because his [[voice box]] was ''destroyed'' in combat and he's still kept fighting, because Bumblebee will take any risk and make whatever sacrifice ''necessary'' to win the war.

{{quote|Bumblebee, it wouldn't kill you to exercise caution.|[[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]''}}

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Bumblebee was part of the last generation of Cybertronians that emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] after it had stopped producing life in a lull at the beginning of the [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war. Like all born during the war, he joined the Autobots. He became part of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s inner circle with [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (Prime)|Prowl]], and also befriended [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], learning first aid skills from him in the few battles they fought together.

When Optimus ejected the [[AllSpark]] from the Well into space, Bumblebee distracted [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] at [[Tyger Pax]], and paid the ultimate price when the tyrant destroyed his vocoder. Ratchet repaired it, but Bumblebee was only able to speak from time to time. When Megatron stole the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] underneath the [[Autobot High Council|High Council Tower]], Bumblebee followed him to the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] below the ruins of [[Crystal City]] and witnessed him use it to corrupt Cybertron's [[core]] with [[Dark Energon]].

Bumblebee informed Optimus of what he saw, but first he had to serve as part of the extraction unit in Optimus's rescue of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] from [[Kaon]]. Afterwards Optimus, Bumblebee and [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] journeyed to the core through the Well. Due to the heavy build up of Dark Energon, Bumblebee found it a distressing experience and lost it when they reached the core, silently tearing out the protruding Corruption Spikes. Though fearful of what would happen, Optimus was able to remove the Chamber and begin Cybertron's healing.

Back at [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Optimus announced [[Ark (WFC)|Project Generation One]] to evacuate Cybertron, for the planet could not sustain a fraction of the life it currently supported if it were to survive. Bumblebee boarded the ''[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]'' with the other elite Autobots and drew out and entered [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. Avoiding Trypticon's corridor drones and [[Mini-Con|Minicons]] they blew up the Dark Energon Facility, causing him to crash. Bumblebee boarded the ''Ark'', which flew him and his friends through the last [[space bridge]] to a [[Milky Way|spiral galaxy]] with the AllSpark detected nearby. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

After passing through the unstable [[space bridge]], Bumblebee and the Autobots aboard the Ark found themselves in the vicinity of a Cybertronian colony world called [[Velocitron]]. Bumblebee was part of Optimus Prime's initial landing team, who made contact with the planet's rulers, [[Override (Prime)|Override]] and [[Ransack (Prime)|Ransack]]. It was a time of great stress between Velocitron's rulers, and the Autobots' arrival from mythical Cybertron only exacerbated the situation. Although the Autobots secured an ally in Override, they left Velocitron on the brink of civil war during their departure.

The next leg of their journey through the Space Bridge brought the Autobots to fabled [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], a world composed entirely of space junk. Bumblebee and the Autobots met [[Wreck-Gar (Prime)|Wreck-Gar]] and his ever-busy people, the Junkions, who maintained an entire planet made of derelict ships and space junk that gravitated together over time. Optimus Prime's Matrix-induced visions led him on a quest through one of the four Space Bridge nodes surrounding Junkion, and he selected Bumblebee and [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] to accompany him. Through the Bridge they came across the lonely tomb of [[Solus Prime]], fabled artifacer of the [[Thirteen]]. Her holographic spirit was called forth by the Matrix and informed the Autobots that the [[Requiem Blaster (Prime)|Requiem Blaster]], most deadly of her creations, rested on Junkion and must be kept out of Decepticon hands.

Returning to Junkion, Bumblebee joined the other Autobots in a struggle with the Decepticons aboard the newly arriving ''Nemesis''. The Requiem Blaster was uncovered inside a ship at the planet's core. A weapon capable of drawing infinite power from nearby stellar sources, the Requiem Blaster had its own gravity field, and had literally been the core around which Junkion's "junk" had formed. The fighting over the Requiem Blaster ripped the planet apart, but both sides eventually called off the melee and abandoned the Blaster after learning the location of the Allspark itself. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and the rest of the Autobots boarded the Ark and began the long race to reach their civilization's greatest prize before Megatron could. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

Bumblebee was the first Autobot to arrive on [[Earth]], having been sent there to scout things out.<ref>Bumblebee's [http://www.hubworld.com/hubworld/specials/transformers-prime-downloadables/printables/tprime-bumblebee-coloring-page.pdf online coloring page] at hubworld.com</ref>

Bumblebee and Optimus were on [[Earth]] when they detected [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]]'s arrival and went to their rescue. After Optimus crushed [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], Bumblebee sent the Decepticon flying with a single punch, and escorted the others back to base. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime (graphic novel)|Transformers: Prime}}

===''Prime'' cartoon===
During the Great War, Bumblebee was captured at [[Tyger Pax]]. The interrogation by Megatron was brutal, but he was later found and a [[Ratchet (WFC)|field medic]] saved his life, though his [[voice box]] was a loss. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}

[[Image:Predatory-ArceeBeeCliff.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Hey Cliff, aren't you supposed to be a red version of me?]]
Bumblebee and Cliffjumper invaded [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]]'s lair to rescue Arcee and [[Tailgate (Prime)|Tailgate]]. Bumblebee blasted a couple of [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s, but they were too late to save Tailgate. They carried Arcee out as she told them she'd been unable to save her partner. {{storylink|Predatory}}

Years later, after the war, Bumblebee was stationed on [[Earth]] under Optimus Prime's command. He was patrolling a desert area when Optimus ordered everyone back to [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|base]] so that they could use the [[GroundBridge]] to provide Cliffjumper with backup. They did so, but arrived at the battle site too late—Cliffjumper had been taken by the Decepticons, and apparently killed. The Autobots held a brief memorial for their friend.

[[Image:Bumblebee Bulkhead Arcee Darkness Rising 1.jpg|left|thumb|350px|''Voice actor:'' [[R2-D2]] (English)]]

When Arcee and [[Jack Darby]] were pursued by Decepticons, Bumblebee joined in the chase as it moved onto the freeway. After a brief attempt to slow the Decepticons, he joined Arcee in facing the foe in a drainage canal, accidentally crushing a toy car belonging to [[Raf Esquivel|Rafael Esquivel]]. During the fight Bumblebee was knocked to the ground, and only Raf's timely distraction allowed him to temporarily get the better of the Decepticons, until [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] arrived and helped them scare the Decepticons off.

Optimus was disappointed that humans had gotten involved, and had Bumblebee and Arcee bring them back to the base. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} When [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] detected Cliffjumper's signal, Bumblebee was part of the team that went to try and rescue their comrade. Though he and the others valiantly fought through the multitudes of Decepticons at an energon mine, their mission was ultimately a failure, and they had to return to base hastily as the mine exploded. Prime later assigned him to watch over Raf to keep the boy safe from the Decepticons. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}

[[Image:DarknessRising3-BumblebeeArceevehicles.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Drive on the right side of the road, Bumblebee!]]

The next day, Bumblebee discovered that he was a lot better than Raf at computer games, though Raf blamed it on Bumblebee's greater experience in driving. When they reached the base, Optimus and Ratchet left on a mission, placing Arcee in charge. Arcee promptly went out on patrol, taking Bumblebee with her and leaving Bulkhead in charge. As they drove through the Nevada desert, Bulkhead reported that [[William Fowler|Fowler]] had been abducted by the Decepticons. When it turned out there was no one left at base to bridge them back, Arcee and Bumblebee were forced to drive back. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}

[[Image:DarknessRising4-Bumblebeeshoot.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Sting like a bee = die by fire]]

Bumblebee and Arcee arrived at the Decepticon ship in time to rescue Raf and Jack from a pair of Decepticons. They quickly located Bulkhead and Miko, also moving through the ship, but after it became obvious that the humans were in too much danger as they fought their way through the ship, the Autobots cleared out the ship's bridge for the kids to hide out in. They eventually reached the brig where Fowler was being held, and Bumblebee and Bulkhead burst through the main door while Arcee slipped in through a top vent. A standoff ensued, until Fowler distracted Starscream long enough for the Autobots to start firing. Starscream chased off, the Autobots took off with Fowler and rescued the kids on the way out. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}

Once the Autobots had located the whereabouts of the Decepticon [[space bridge]]—Earth orbit—Optimus, Bulkhead, Arcee and Bumblebee used the GroundBridge to reach it. They were spotted by Megatron and Starscream, who sent a force of flying Decepticons to attack them. While they battled, Ratchet determined a way to destroy the space bridge, so Bumblebee and Bulkhead covered Arcee while she followed his instructions. They committed the necessary act of sabotage before Megatron fired on them, hitting Arcee. As the Autobots jumped back into the GroundBridge, Bumblebee collected Arcee's drifting body and carried her back to base where she recovered enough to stand on her own. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}

[[Image:Masters&Students-BeeQuake.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Bumblebee comes up with his own version of punch buggy blue.]]
Bumblebee helped Raf with his science project, building a small replica of a volcano while they discussed how Bumblebee had not yet risen to the rank of Warrior. As Optimus pointed out, Bumblebee still had much to learn before he could reach that level. Optimus subsequently picked Bumblebee to go on a mission to investigate Decepticon activity, but warned the smaller Autobot to hold back. When Optimus came to blows with [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]], Bumblebee decided to disregard the earlier order and charged into battle. Though he was no match for Skyquake, he and Optimus led the Decepticon into a trap and seemed victorious, until Skyquake [[scanning|scanned]] Fowler's jet. Bumblebee managed to end the fight by jumping onto Skyquake's jet form and causing critical damage, jumping to Fowler's jet as Skyquake crashed to the ground. After some repairs, Optimus commended him on his performance. {{storylink|Masters & Students}}

Bulkhead and Bumblebee discovered a strange pod in the [[Arctic]] which they brought back to base. When the kids arrived at base, Bumblebee was keen to play some video games with Raf, but he and Bulkhead were roped into helping Ratchet repair the GroundBridge, which broke shortly after Optimus and Arcee used it to go to the Arctic. The cause of the problem was revealed when Raf found a [[Scraplet]], which started gnawing on Bumblebee. Raf killed it with a crowbar before it could do much more damage, but Bumblebee ended up having to search the base with Raf for more of the Scraplets. After finding quite a lot of Scraplets, they returned to the control room, where another mass of them overwhelmed Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Ratchet. Though the kids were able to get rid of the attacking Scraplets, Bumblebee was out of it for the rest of the incident, and ended up on a repair bed, being tended to by the kids. {{storylink|Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap}}

When [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] landed on Earth, Bulkhead, Arcee and Bumblebee turned out to welcome him and arrived in time to see him trash some Vehicons. The Autobots celebrated their new friend's arrival, and Bumblebee and Raf danced The Robot to Miko's guitar playing. Bumblebee also stood around a lot while Bulkhead proved that "Wheeljack" was a Decepticon spy and the real Wheeljack turned up. After everything was resolved, the Autobots had another party to welcome the real Wheeljack, and Bumblebee got to bust out some more dance moves. He and Arcee turned out with Bulkhead to see Wheeljack off when the Autobot returned to space. {{storylink|Con Job}}

[[Image:Convoy-Bumblebeeboxing.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Jazz (Movie)|YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?! YOU WANT A PIECE?!]] And please don't say you want two, because I know you're not Megatron. ]]

Bumblebee took part in the Autobot convoy to transport Fowler's [[Dynamic Nuclear Generation System]] across the US countryside. When [[MECH]] attacked them, he bashed into one of the cars they were using, flipping it over. The Autobots successfully passed the D.N.G.S. over to a train, but were shortly after confronted by a squadron of flying Vehicons, and were forced to return to their robot modes to fight. Bumblebee got to try out some boxing moves on a Vehicon, but while the Autobots were occupied, MECH made another attempt to obtain the D.N.G.S. which was foiled by Optimus. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}

When an [[Energon Harvester]] was located in a museum, the Autobots surrounded the building while the kids went in to steal it. [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] appeared at the front of the museum to attack Optimus, and as Breakdown charged at the museum, Bumblebee and Arcee attempted to stop him. Bumblebee was hit by a missile, sending him tumbling, and then by Arcee who'd just missed catching another missile. He, Arcee and Prime later attempted to track down the Decepticons before the Harvester could be used, but they ended up coming to Bulkhead's rescue after he found and stopped the Decepticons himself. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

[[Image:SpeedMetal-BBvsBreakdown.jpg|thumb|250px|I want a new dance partner.]]
When Arcee refused to go street racing with Jack, Bumblebee was more receptive, though they asked Raf's permission beforehand. Unfortunately also participating in the race was Knock Out, who started firing on Bumblebee. After calling base and letting them know what was up, Bumblebee used an oil slick to slow down Knock Out, and hid under a bridge. They would have escaped detection had another human, [[Vince]], not confronted Jack about apparently pulling out of the race, and Vince was subsequently captured by Knock Out. After Arcee and Bulkhead arrived, the three Autobots pursued Knock Out to a storage facility, where Bumblebee and Bulkhead were ambushed by Breakdown. They defeated Breakdown and caught up with Knock Out. The other 'Con had already been stopped by Optimus, who was very interested in some explanations. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}

When Optimus was infected with [[Cybonic plague]], Bumblebee and Arcee GroundBridged to the ''Nemesis'' to find a cure. Bumblebee discovered Megatron had survived their last battle and was recovering in sickbay. Unable to find the cure on the Decepticons' computer, Bumblebee offered to use the [[cortical psychic patch]] to enter Megatron's mind and locate it. Finding himself in a [[Kaon]]ian dreamscape, Bumblebee saw Megatron killing Optimus repeatedly. Megatron realized he could not harm Bumblebee and demanded to know why he was intruding on his mind. Bumblebee reminded him of the space bridge explosion and implored him to give him the cure, playing on his desire to kill Optimus for real rather than have him succumb to a virus. Megatron showed him the cure but demanded Bumblebee help him out of his stasis lock. Ratchet was recording what Bumblebee saw though, and because they had the cure, Arcee disconnected Bumblebee and GroundBridged back to base. However, Megatron's spark had left his body and escaped into Bumblebee's... {{storylink|Sick Mind}}

[[Image:OutOfHisHead-evileye.jpg|left|thumb|250px|He is no longer the boy you once knew, [[Obi-Wan Kenobi|Obi-Wan]].]]
Bumblebee began to experience visions of Megatron, causing him to stop dead during a basketball game with Bulkhead. After Megatron forced him to crush one of Ratchet's devices, Bumblebee told Ratchet about the visions, and Ratchet induced a power down to give Bumblebee's mind time to recover. Bumblebee reactivated, under the control of Megatron, and, retrieving a piece of Dark Energon from an old battlefield, bridged to the Decepticon warship over the Arctic. Although Ratchet and Raf tried to stop him, even managing to get Bumblebee to reassert control for a few moments, Bumblebee successfully brought Megatron back online and transferred his mind back to his body. Free of Megatron's influence, Bumblebee beat a hasty retreat with Ratchet and Raf. Later at base, Ratchet checked Bumblebee was completely free of Megatron, and the small Autobot thanked Raf for coming to help him. {{Storylink|Out of His Head}}

After a Dark Energon signature was detected, Optimus took a team including Bumblebee to investigate. They instead found Starscream trying to resurrect Skyquake. During the ensuing conflict, the Autobots discovered their human friends had followed them to the battlefield, and the three kids were caught in a freak GroundBridge accident, causing them to disappear.The Autobots returned to base to try and locate their friends, but it wasn't until Bumblebee suggested trying to ring the kids that they found Miko's cellphone, and the kids were able to send a text to it. Ratchet subsequently engineered a portal to rescue the kids from the other dimension they'd become trapped in. {{storylink|Shadowzone (episode)|Shadowzone}}

When Breakdown was captured by MECH, Bumblebee and the others were more than happy to leave them to it, but Optimus insisted that they rescue the Decepticon to avoid Cybertronian technology falling into MECH hands. The team arrived in [[Kamchatka Peninsula]] and Bumblebee spotted some vehicle tracks, but they opted instead to follow the energon signal Ratchet had detected. After they escaped the bomb that the trace led them to, the team tracked down Bulkhead in time to chase off Starscream and some Vehicons. {{storylink|Operation: Breakdown}}

Arcee and Bumblebee were in the middle of a fight with some Vehicons when Arcee got a call informing her she had to be in Jack's garage ASAP. After checking if Bumblebee could handle it, Arcee left. Evidently he was able to, as he was later in the Autobot base when Jack and Arcee turned up with [[June Darby]]. {{storylink|Crisscross}}

[[Image:Partners-BeepunchesAirachnid.jpg|thumb|250px|Booya!]]
Bumblebee was part of the team that investigated the wreck of a crashed [[Harbinger|Decepticon ship]] and found Airachnid and Starscream. He guarded the bound Starscream while the others decided what to do with the Decepticon. Prime, Bulkhead and Bumblebee went to check out the rear half of the ship, crashed some distance away, and were ambushed by Airachnid who had found an experimental weapon named the [[Immobilizer]]. She froze Prime and Bulkhead, but Bumblebee managed to trick her by kicking up a dust cloud with his guns, and then pretending to be frozen after she fired the Immobilizer into it. Once she turned her back, he crept up and sucker punched her before blasting the Immobilizer. After she fled, Bumblebee went back to find Arcee, and interrupted her when she was about to offline Starscream. They returned the pieces of Immobilizer to base, along with Bulkhead and Optimus, and Ratchet was able to repair the device and unfreeze their comrades. {{storylink|Partners}}

Bumblebee accompanied Prime and Arcee as they tried to retrieve a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]] before the Decepticons did. Ultimately the Decepticons made off with the cylinder, and later Bumblebee listened as Ratchet told them the cylinder's contents had ended up in Bulkhead's brain, though the Autobots were excited to find that the equations being scrawled by Bulkhead were a set of formula for synthetic energon. Unfortunately it later turned out that the data was eating Bulkhead's brain. Bumblebee and Arcee accompanied Optimus on an unsuccessful attempt to get the cylinder back from Megatron, and they ended up fighting a bunch of Vehicons. Later they came to Miko and Bulkhead's aid to save the pair from Knock Out and Breakdown, and were present when Miko managed to rouse the comatose Bulkhead with her guitar. {{storylink|T.M.I.}}

During a mission to stop Knock Out and Breakdown who were transporting energon, Bumblebee, Prime and Bulkhead were separated from Arcee. They caught up to find that Ratchet had already dealt with the Vehicons who'd been attacking Arcee, and they returned to base where Ratchet revealed he'd taken the synthetic energon he'd been working on. Ratchet, amped up on the substance, insisted on going on their next mission, which meant Bumblebee got left at base operating the GroundBridge. The other Autobots returned minus Ratchet, who had gone to tackle Megatron on his own. Once they'd gotten a fix on Ratchet's signal, they left Bumblebee at base again. {{storylink|Stronger, Faster}}

[[Image:PrimeEp23-BumblebeeRaf.jpg|thumb|left|250px|I didn't mean to break it]]
Bumblebee was taking Raf to play with Raf's remote-control car when he was called on to join the battle at a military base. Unfortunately Megatron found them before he could drop Raf off, and Bumblebee was hit by a blast from Megatron's cannon. Though Bumblebee himself was mostly unaffected, Raf was gravely injured. Bumblebee arrived at the battle and had to be restrained from attacking Megatron so he and Arcee could take Raf back to base. Bumblebee watched helplessly as Ratchet and June Darby tried to save the boy. At one point, the frustration became too much, and he knocked a chunk out of the wall with his fist, but Arcee talked him down, and eventually Ratchet worked out that an energon infusion would save Raf. Bumblebee gave some of his own energon for the procedure, which was ultimately successful. {{storylink|One Shall Fall}}

After the other Autobots saved Optimus from Megatron, Bumblebee bridged them back to base. June decided to take Raf to the hospital, and didn't intend to bring him back, so Bumblebee had to sadly watch them drive from the base. When it transpired that the Dark Energon volcano was causing global disasters, he went to find June and Raf, and managed to save them from a tornado by grabbing the front end of their car. After he returned to base with them, the assembled Autobots and humans worked out that [[Unicron]] was at the center of the Earth. He and the other Autobots began investigating the sites of the earthquakes Unicron had generated. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

Though Optimus ordered the other Autobots to remain at base, Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead joined him anyway. They fought increasingly larger stone Unicrons, until to their surprise, help came in the form of Megatron. When Optimus gave the other three Autobots the choice of whether to accompany him and Megatron to Earth's core, Bumblebee opted to go for Raf's sake. He, Arcee and Bulkhead greeted Megatron to the Autobot base by aiming their guns at him. Before long, they stepped through the GroundBridge once again, this time into Earth's core. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 2}}

As they made their way through Unicron's internals, they encountered [[Unicron's antibodies|antibodies]] which aggressively attacked them. When during the fight Bulkhead almost fell to his doom, Bumblebee grabbed his arm and held him long enough for Optimus to help. He, Bulkhead and Arcee remained outside Unicron's spark chamber to hold off the antibodies, but after Unicron's defeat, they entered to find Optimus had lost his memory. The trio had to GroundBridge back to base without their leader. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}

The Autobots puzzled over how to get their leader back but made little progress. When Fowler warned them of an attack on a military base, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Arcee went to try and deal with it, but Knock Out and Breakdown succeeded in getting away with the power source they needed. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 1}} Bumblebee and the others fruitlessly searched for the space bridge until a breakthrough came in the form of information from Starscream. Using said information, the Autobots stormed the mine containing the space bridge and secured it so they could send Jack and Arcee through to Cybertron. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee monitored Jack's progress from the Earth end of the space bridge. When Megatron arrived to take back control, Bumblebee was grabbed by the head and tossed aside. Luckily it all turned out, and Bumblebee and the others returned to base with Optimus Prime restored. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}

[[Image:OperationBumblebee1 Bumblebee's new ride.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Privacy please"]]
During a mission to retrieve a Cybertronian artifact, Bumblebee followed Megatron into the Decepticon GroundBridge and snatched the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]] right out of his hand. Responding to another signal, Bumblebee was ambushed by MECH, who took his [[transformation cog|T-cog]]. Unable to transform, he became more and more testy despite the attempts of Raf to cheer him up. Bumblebee finally talked Bulkhead into taking him along on on a mission to find another artifact, only for his lack of a T-cog to become a liability as he tried to chase Knock Out. The pursuit ended when Bumblebee plunged out-of-control off a cliff. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 1}}

[[Image:OperationBumblebee2 Bumblebee damaged T-cog.jpg|thumb|left|250px|My precious...]]
When he came around back at base, Optimus restricted him to base. After an attempt to transplant Ratchet's T-cog into him was aborted, Bumblebee was pointed in the direction of the MECH base and opted to go on a one-bot assault. Though he floored Starscream and MECH in the process of getting the cog back, the vital component was blasted by Starscream. After some repair work by Ratchet, the T-cog was reinstalled in Bumblebee, and his ability to [[transformation|transform]] restored. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}

Bumblebee and the others came to Wheeljack's aid when he returned to Earth to battle [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]]. {{storylink|Loose Cannons}} Bumblebee was part of an Optimus-led mission to an abandoned energon mine in [[South America]], where they found Megatron fighting an [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]. When the fight was finished, the Autobots surrounded the exhausted Megatron, but were prevented from finishing him off by the arrival of Dreadwing. Though they trashed a bunch of Vehicons, Megatron and Dreadwing escaped them. {{storylink|Crossfire}}

When Fowler was attacked by a truck resembling Optimus, Bumblebee caught his car as it plunged from a bridge. Returning to base, they established the truck was a MECH-created clone of Optimus, and began searching for the MECH base. Bumblebee found the hideout, but after alerting the other Autobots, was knocked out by [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|Nemesis Prime]]. Following Optimus's defeat of MECH, the Autobots returned to base for repairs. {{storylink|Nemesis Prime (episode)|Nemesis Prime}} Bumblebee went with Optimus and Arcee to investigate some Decepticon activity and found Airachnid sending out a swarm of Insecticons. He and Optimus ended up having to fight a bunch of them and won. They got to return to base with Airachnid, whom Arcee had stasis-locked. {{storylink|Armada (episode)|Armada}}

After the ''Nemesis'' crashed, Bumblebee took part in an attack on it with the [[spark extractor|Spark Extractor]], only to be put into stasis by its weapons. He recovered back at base once the kids disabled the ship. {{storylink|Flying Mind}} Bumblebee was sent to [[New York City]] with Arcee, Jack and Miko to look for one of the Iacon relics. In the subway, they ran into Knock Out and an Insecticon, the latter of which temporarily floored Bumblebee. He recovered in time to pursue Knock Out, catching up with the Decepticon and getting the relic back. The relic turned out to be a [[phase shifter]], which saved Bumblebee from being hit by an out-of-control sweeper train. After they chased Knock Out off, Bumblebee and Arcee were introduced to [[Vogel]]. {{storylink|Tunnel Vision}}

They returned to base to find Bulkhead critically injured after his mission, and Bumblebee and Arcee helped get the Wrecker to the medical bay. {{storylink|Hurt}} During Bulkhead's recovery period, Bumblebee arrived back at base to find Miko was upset at her friend's lack of progress. {{storylink|Out of the Past}} Bumblebee was part of Optimus's team investigating a crashed escape pod when they encountered [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]]. When Raf discovered the presence of [[Red Energon]] on Earth, Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee headed to a dock to retrieve it, only to run into Starscream and the [[Apex Armor (Prime)|Apex Armor]]. Bumblebee and Arcee attempted to scale the crane but were attacked by Starscream, and Smokescreen had to come to their rescue using the phase shifter. {{storylink|New Recruit}}

When Fowler notified them that a [[Project Damocles]] satellite had been stolen by Breakdown and Silas, Optimus took a team including Bumblebee to a military base in the hope of securing the satellite control codes before the Decepticons could get them. Instead they found themselves facing both Decepticon troopers and the orbital death ray itself, controlled by Soundwave. {{storylink|The Human Factor}} During an energon hunt, Bumblebee tried to stop Smokescreen harassing a human, resulting in them both getting their picture on the net. Bumblebee later accompanied Optimus on a search for another Iacon relic, which turned out to be a Decepticon hoax, and helped secure the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]]. {{storylink|Legacy}}

[[Image:HardKnocksBumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Well, it's not a couch, but... it'll have to do.]]
After Optimus received a message from [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] revealing the existence of the [[Omega Key]]s, Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead were happy that they might soon be able to restore Cybertron, but quickly realized there would be a downside in that they would have to leave their friends on Earth behind. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}} Bumblebee was sent with Arcee to retrieve one of the keys, but they encountered Knock Out. Bumblebee was significantly damaged by the [[Resonance Blaster]] before the Decepticon got away with the key, and had to undergo repairs when the two Autobots returned to base. {{storylink|Hard Knocks}} After Smokescreen escaped the ''Nemesis'' with two of the Omega Keys, the Autobots received a message from Starscream offering a trade for the fourth and final key. Bumblebee guarded the base with Smokescreen and Arcee, but using Red Energon, Starscream was able to infiltrate the base and steal their three keys anyway. {{storylink|Inside Job}}

As the Autobots equipped themselves to go to Cybertron in a last-ditch attempt to stop the Decepticons from using the [[Omega Lock]], Bumblebee took the [[polarity gauntlet]] from storage. During their battle with the Decepticons, he used it to reclaim the Omega Keys. The Autobots subsequently found the Omega Lock, only for the Decepticons to unveil their trump card in the form of the three kids as hostages. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} Bumblebee was forced to hand over his Omega Key in exchange for Raf. After Optimus destroyed the Omega Lock to prevent Megatron destroying Earth, Bumblebee returned with the others to base, only to find that the Decepticons were attacking it. The Autobots were forced to abandon base, and Bumblebee and Raf bridged to a point somewhere in the US. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

After changing his paint scheme to foil the searching Vehicons, Bumblebee headed back towards Jasper with Raf. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} When Raf discovered a photo of Ratchet on a conspiracy website, the pair tracked him down in a junkyard and tried to convince him to help them use the ''Harbinger''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> systems. Apparently failing, Bumblebee and Raf went to the derelict ship themselves, and were joined shortly afterwards by Ratchet, who had had a change of heart. {{storylink|Scattered}}

Bumblebee took part in the testing of Ratchet's newly developed [[Safe]]. After Bulkhead uncovered a nuke which attracted the attention of some Vehicons, Bumblebee, Optimus and Arcee went out to deal with the 'Cons. As Bumblebee knocked the Vehicons into the air, Optimus and Arcee blasted them, though Bumblebee was less than happy with the arrangement as he wanted to get to shoot them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.1|The Safe and the Failsafe}} Optimus took the other Autobots, including Bumblebee, on a trip to [[Valley of Fire State Park]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.2|War Story}}

Optimus, Bumblebee and Ratchet GroundBridged to the ship, but on arrival Ratchet was knocked out by Starscream's [[static lance]]. Bumblebee attacked the Decepticon, dodging a swipe of the lance and then delivering a kick. Once he had possession of the lance, Bumblebee threw it to Optimus, who used it to defeat Megatron. After guiding the ship to its destination, the trio returned to base, which had been turned into an ice rink for some reason. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.3|Ice Breaker}}

Raf and Bumblebee stopped off at [[Plug and Play]] to pick up Raf's copy of ''[[Invasionauts II]]''. Later at the base, Bumblebee found that Raf had let a bunch of Vehicons into the base, and was about to shut the [[GroundBridge]] down, when Raf stopped him. Raf, who had been temporarily hypnotised by the game, instead shut the bridge down in a way that sucked the remaining Vehicons back through and kept the location of the base concealed from the enemy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4.4|Tinker, Tailor, Gamer, Spy!}}

Bumblebee tracked a meteor to [[Wayward Island]], and ran into the [[Rescue Bot]]s and their attendant humans during his search. After joining up with them to find the meteorite, he returned with them to [[Griffin Rock]] and reported back to [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], who ordered him to spend some time with the team. When three of the Rescue Bots were stricken with a strange virus, Bumblebee helped out in a rescue, following which he accompanied the humans back to Wayward Island to deal with the meteorite. He ended up stuck in an undersea trench after rescuing [[Graham Burns]], and was himself rescued by [[Blades (RB)|Blades]]. Faced with an out-of-control bomb, the two Bots used it to destroy the meteorite, but were infected by the virus themselves. Luckily Bumblebee had picked up a sample of the meteorite which was used to find a cure to the virus, and after some photos, Bumblebee returned home. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}}

[[Image:WfC-IGN-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|300px|The time has come and so have I... I'll laugh last 'cause you came to die.]]
During the Decepticons siege of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], Bumblebee volunteered to be a message courier when communications became unreliable. Bumblebee was searching for the one called [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] when he was caught by a pair of Decepticons, only to be saved by Optimus and [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]. Informing Optimus of the death of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], Bumblebee accompanied Optimus and Ratchet to a command center where they were contacted by [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]], who was leading the aerial counterattack and wanted Zeta to activate the [[planetary gun]]s. After informing Jetfire of Prime's death, Bumblebee helped Optimus and Ratchet make their way to the orbital defenses control room, where they activated the guns. Their next stop was the [[Decagon]], where they could reestablish communications and coordinate Iacon's defense. They hit serious Decepticon resistance, including several [[Decepticon war machine]]s, but ultimately, with help from Jetfire and [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]], the three made their way to the Decagon, where they faced the last obstacle: [[Air Commander|Sky Commander]] [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. Beating the traitorous Seeker, Bumblebee witnessed a desperate communication from Zeta Prime, who was being held in the [[Kaon]] [[Kaon Prison Complex|Prison Complex]]. Optimus resolved to rescue Zeta, and Bumblebee accompanied him.

[[Image:WFC_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"Autobots... [[Johnny Yong Bosch|It's Morphin' Time?"]]]]
Bumblebee, Optimus, and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] allowed themselves to be captured raiding supplies outside Kaon, and taken to the prison within the city. [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] ordered them taken to recycling. Bumblebee didn't think that sounded bad, until Sideswipe told him to consider ''what'' they were recycling. As they made their way through the prison, Bumblebee's horror grew, until he was in a near panic when they placed against the firing wall. Fortunately, [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] finally arrived and killed the [[Heavy Soldier]]s about to execute them. Air Raid was forced to let himself be captured to let the others escape. Finally finding some weapons, the three made their way to a [[wall crawler]] and descended into the prison. Bumblebee asked if this was good or bad, and Optimus replied that it was purely a matter of perspective, while Sideswipe said he was enjoying himself. Soon, they reached a room where Megatron revealed that he had allowed Zeta's message to be broadcast simply to lure Optimus into a trap. After they fought off some Decepticons, Megatron simply teleported them to a prison cell without their weapons. Fortunately, Optimus managed to break the wall with his axe, freeing them. Optimus then explained he could not open the other prisoners' cells, despite Bumblebee's pleas. Heading to retrieve Air Raid, the three Autobots rescued the flier, who took them to the control which would open all the prison's hard locks. Unfortunately, Zeta was trapped under the facility, so the control wouldn't release him. While Air Raid took the freed Autobots back to Iacon, Bumblebee accompanied Optimus and Sideswipe underground to free Zeta, racing through the caverns as the Decepticons blew out the ground. Reaching Zeta Prime's cell, Optimus, Bumblebee, and Sideswipe had to fight through Soundwave's minions to rescue the Autobot leader, but Soundwave stole some of Zeta's life energy and fled, killing the Prime. Taking his body back to Iacon, Bumblebee and Sideswipe bore witness to the [[Autobot High Council]] declaring that Optimus was now Optimus [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], leader of the Autobots.

During the evacuation of Cybertron, Megatron used Trypticon Station to fire on the Autobots' escape pods. After the Aerialbots destroyed Trypticon's conversion cog and sent him plummeting to the planet's surface, Bumblebee accompanied Optimus Prime and Ironhide to look for the crash site. Once Trypticon was found to still function, Bumblebee assisted in fighting him, overloading his shoulder cannons with energon batteries and destroying his heat vents. After greatly damaging Trypticon, Oprimus Prime declared Trypticon had lost and knocked him into an energon lake with his axe. Afterward, Bumblebee was present at the unveiling of the Ark, where he reminded Optimus Prime that Megatron was "still out there". {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

When a distress call from Zeta Prime was received by the Autobots, they sent Bumblebee to find Optimus so they could repair the communications system. Bumblebee and Optimus were seen battling Decepticons together by an Autobot rookie when he arrived at the Autobot base. When Optimus was later disabled by [[laser guard]]s, Bumblebee was instrumental in reviving him, and helped him defeat [[Dirge (WFC)|Dirge]]. After the Autobots retook [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Bumblebee exploded verbally at Ironhide, complaining that they'd already lost the war. Optimus told him that that attitude was just what Megatron wanted.

Prime's transmissions led the Autobots to infiltrate Kaon Prison, a place Bumblebee found terrifying to the point where Ironhide had to try and calm him and Optimus told them both to quiet down. They eventually found Zeta Prime, in time for their leader to expire. After Optimus was made the new Prime, the Autobots tried to enlist the help of [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]]. Bumblebee slyly goaded Grimlock into challenging Optimus to a contest, however instead the Autobots ended up rescuing Swoop who'd been kidnapped by the Decepticons. The Autobots were forced to venture down to Cybertron's core to disable the Dark Energon corruptors, so that Cybertron's core could begin repairing itself, however the planet was left unable to sustain Transformer life.

As the Autobots began to evacuate in arks, Trypticon station began firing on them. Optimus prepared to take a team to the station to attack it from the inside, and Bumblebee was the first to volunteer to go along. They infiltrated the station and destroyed its power core, causing it to plunge from orbit. To the Autobots' surprise, the station transformed into a monster which Bumblebee found terrifying, but he still took part in the battle to destroy it. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}

In order to find out more about "Trypticon", Bumblebee and Ironhide were ordered to infiltrate a Decepticon datacore and extract the info stored inside it. Looking for a back way in, Ironhide uncovered a transit shaft, but it was too small for him to reconnoiter. Splitting up, Bumblebee took the shaft while Ironhide circled around to find another way in. Inside the datacore, they retrieved the intel on Trypticon, but were unable to escape without being noticed. The ruckus they raised in Kaon caught Megatron's attempt, and he arrived to fell both Autobots before they made it out of the city-state. Megatron subjected Bumblebee to a neural scanner to forcibly extract Autobot secrets from his mind. Bumblebee struggled to resist the scanner, but still unwillingly gave up some intel before Ironhide broke them both free. They eventually made it out of Kaon in one piece, thanks in part to the air support provided by Air Raid.

After the power supply was cut off to Trypticon from the Geosynchronous Energy Bridge, the Autobots began to prep supplies for their evacuation of the planet. On one such supply convoy, Bumblebee ran defensive reconnaissance to protect the convoy from Decepticon attack. Bumblebee blamed himself for allowing the decepticons to access his mind using the neural scanner, and was extra dedicated to the mission in his effort to redeem himself, even if only in his own eyes. He uncovered an ambush plot on the roadway, and alerted Optimus to the threat. Taking point, he intervened on several other ambush attempts along the way.

After Trypticon Station fell to Cybertron's surface and revealed itself as a gi-normous transforming creature, Bumblebee joined Optimus Prime and Ironhide in racing to the crash site to finish him off. They were separated during the journey, and had to fight through multiple Decepticon vanguards before even reaching Trypticon. Eventually, it was the combined firepower and teamwork of the Autobot forces that brought down the dangerous dinosaur. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}

[[Image:FOC-GameInformerPrimeBumblebee.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Oh my God, they killed Kenny! You bastards!]]
As the Autobots worked towards preparing the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]] for launch, the Decepticons attacked the city. Bumblebee was helping out [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] with the wounded when [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] arrived, and helped with an injured soldier. He was part of the bridge crew when the ship launched, and when they were intercepted by the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', defended the bridge alongside Optimus. Prime left to tend to the engine room, and Bumblebee was sent to replace a [[moleculon fuse|fuse]] so they could get the defense systems back up and running. He succeeded, allowing the ''Ark'' to start returning fire on the Decepticon ship, and began heading for the engine room. By the time he got there, Optimus and [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] were engaged in a ferocious battle, with Optimus losing. As Megatron fired off a killing shot, Bumblebee threw himself in the way and took the shot to the chest. Enraged, Optimus renewed his assault on Megatron, but a short time later both ships were sucked through the [[space bridge]] portal. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this Bumblebee is an entirely new mold, and features a much simpler transformation (and slightly decreased posability), including a "dramatic head reveal": the entire car-mode front section is geared together, so when the robot-mode shoulders are pulled out, the hood opens up to flip out Bumblebee's head and expand his chest. Two blaster-weapons are now included, which use [[5mm post|5mm posts and holes]] to mount on his forearms, engine block, or be used as hand-held weapons. They can also combine to form a larger quad-barreled cannon. While the [[instructions]] are rather vague about it, his folded-up roof actually features a tab that's meant to peg into a slot behind his pelvis, securing his roof somewhat in robot mode. This version of the toy was later retooled into [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]].

: In wave six of the "Robots in Disguise" toyline, Bumblebee was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)| Prime]]'' episode "[[Loose Cannons]]".

: The [[TakaraTomy]] version of Bumblebee, part of the first wave of ''Prime'' toys, is considerably different. His roof and doors have been retooled to include 5mm-hole mounting points, which are meant to be used with the new [[Arms Micron]] system. As such, he does not come with the Hasbro version's blasters, instead coming with the Arms Micron [[B.2]], who transforms into an over-sized version of Bumblebee's wrist-mounted blasters. His [[paint operation]]s have also been pretty heavily decreased; his doors, roof and rear window-frame have stripe-less solid-yellow paint to cover the clear plastic, leaving his engine block, grill-parts and face the only "detail-painted" parts on the toy. Most of his detailing, like his car-mode striping, is provided by a separate sheet of customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s. (This actually allows for more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] stripes than the painted Hasbro version.) Unfortunately, he suffers from a particularly horrid case of sticker placement: The [[instructions]] tell you to place stickers between his front wheels and doors to continue his stripe patterns, but due to how the doors are jointed, there is not enough clearance near them to accommodate these stickers, and opening the doors will ''destroy'' the stickers.

**''Accessories:'' Arm-mounted weapon

: This Deluxe Class Bumblebee is a redeco of his First Edition release in a darker, more orange shade of yellow plastic, similar to the same mould's NYCC exclusive version. He features brighter silver highlights and an inexplicable recoloring of his racing stripes to an aqua blue, which fade back to their regular black halfway along his car mode.

: Bumblebee came packed-in with a redeco of First Edition Starscream, small unarticulated figurines of [[Silas]] and a MECH soldier, as well as a DVD containing the episodes ''[[Convoy (episode)|Convoy]]'', ''[[Sick Mind]]'' and ''[[Out of His Head]]''. The two-pack was also available in Australian markets virtually unchanged, except the DVD was replaced with a booklet including short (and by that, we mean one sentence) bios as well as [[Tech Spec]]s for [[Breakdown (WFC)|most]] [[Airachnid (Prime)|of]] the characters.

**''Series / Number'': '''1 / 002'''
**''Accessories:'' Blaster pistol

: Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Weaponizer Class toys,. Bumblebee is a large, roughly Leader-sized mold with a simplified transformation scheme, more accurate proportions, and a grand total of ''four'' [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake wheel]]s on his person due to said transformation. He comes with a double-barreled blaster pistol which can mount onto his hands, forearms, and trunk.

: His ''main'' gimmicks, however, are the two large mini-guns hidden in his hood-chest, which can deploy and "weaponize" either mode. When his robot head/engine block is pressed down, the mini-guns swing out from his hood-chest and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. Pushing on the gray lever/the center front fender portion (both on his chest) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into his body.

: His [[stock photography]] gives him a [[:Image:Transformers-Prime-Weaponizers-Bumblebee.jpg|''completely'' different vehicle deco]] compared to the final product, with the final toy having fewer [[paint operation]]s overall. The final product lacks the stripe patterns between the front wheels and doors due to that patch being made of [[unpaintable plastic]], shrinks the stripes on the hood, tapers the door stripes towards the front and extends it towards the rear wheels, rearranges the stripes on the trunk, roof, and behind the engine block, shrinks the Autobot symbol on the roof, and moves said symbol to the front of the hood. The hood stripes, in particular, have been ''significantly'' shrunk into what are essentially ''pinstripes''.

: A [[Variant#Running changes|running change variant]] of this figure features much thicker stripes on his hood-chest.

==Notes==
[[Image:VectorSigmaBotBuilderBumblebee.jpg|thumb|Cheddar-flavored.]]
* ''War for Cybertron'' Bumblebee was designed by [[Jim Daly]], and it's that specific character concept art that won [[Hasbro]] over on giving [[High Moon Studios]] the game.
* Bumblebee's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Runner-type chassis for [[Scout (WFC)|Scout]]-class characters. His parts are also available in ''Fall of Cybertron'', now classified as Recon-type components for the [[Infiltrator (FOC)|Infiltrator]] class (although his wheels can also be used by [[Destroyer (FOC)|Destroyers]]).
* [[Alex Irvine]] wrote the short story ''[[Bumblebee at Tyger Pax]]'', expanding on how Bumblebee lost his vocoder in ''Exodus''.
* [[Jeff Kline]] said why Bumblebee lost his voice will be revealed in season two of ''Prime'',<ref>[http://collider.com/roberto-orci-jeff-kline-interview-transformers-prime/75039/ Collider interview]</ref> though [[Duane Capizzi]] broke the suspense when he said it would be for the same reason as ''Exodus''.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/bonus-q--a-with-transformers-prime-creators---answered-171430/ TFW Q&A]</ref>
*In the end credits for WFC, Bee drives up, and '''HALF''' of the Autobots get out. Weird. Guess his father was a clown car.
* Bumblebee's [[license plate]] in "[[Speed Metal]]" is "'''936 SOH'''".
* Unlike [[Bumblebee (Movie)|that other mute Bumblebee]], who cannot directly communicate at all, and who splices together radio signals as a primitive method of conveying his thoughts, the beeps and tones produced by ''Prime'' Bumblebee seem to be a language of their own, which is fully understood by other Cybertronians (and, oddly, Raf).
* Bumblebee's body parts are available to use in the Hub website's [[Vector Sigma Bot Builder]] online game. Normally, you cannot configure a generic 'bot using all Bumblebee parts, but you can see what one would look like at right through the magic of Photoshop. Unlike most of his peers, who were hue-shifted into different colors, Bumblebee seems to look exactly the same as he always does.
*Bumblebee is a guest on the DVD/Blu-Ray commentary for "Shadowzone". [[Dave Hartman]] apparently shares Raf's ability to understand him.

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Bumblebee has several powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

[[Image:DarknessRising4 CybSat-BeeBanBan.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gahqavv9aUQ You've got to aim for the kneecaps and then kick her head off.]"]]

*'''Striker Mode''' (ストライカーモード ''Sutoraikā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, C.L., O.P., R.A.
:The Arms Up form shown on Bumblebee's box-back photo. In this form, B.2 is mounted on his left arm, with [[R.A.]] on his right, while [[C.L.]] and [[O.P.]] take positions on Bee's backpack (which has been flipped up to allow the gun-Microns to fire sorta-forward).

*'''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode''' (メチャウチバンバンモード ''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, O.P., R.A.
:Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Bang Bang Mode", this "Anti-Terrorcon" Mode turns the three Microns into a gun emplacement that isn't actually attached to Bee, just one he stands behind. Introduced in the "[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]" segment from "[[Darkness Rising, Part 4|Infiltration Transformation! Battleship Nemesis]]".

*'''Mecha Uchi Kidō Type''' (メチャウチ機動タイプ ''Mecha Uchi Kidō Taipu'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, C.L.
: Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Agile Type", this other "Anti-Terrorcon" attack mode is... just Bee with B.2 on one arm and C.L. on the other. ''Exciting.'' But it was highlighted and named in the same episode as the Mechya Uchi Ban Ban Mode, so, well, for completism's sake....

*'''Infection Mode''' (インフェックションモード ''Infuekkushon Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.2, Terrorcon Zori
: Terrorcon Bumblebee's Arms Up mode is simply him using [[Zori#Toys|Terrorcon Zori]] in his right hand, and B.2 in his left. Wooo.

{{factions|decepticon|hofsilver}}
{{disambig3|Shockwave}}
:''Shockwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:Shockwave-RageoftheDinobots3cover.jpg|right|thumb|300px|SPM seeking abominations of science. Turn-ons: dinosaurs, logic]]

'''Shockwave''' was a member of the scientist caste in the industrial city of [[Kaon]]. In a reversal of the usual order, he was swayed by the ambitions of the former mining caste member turned gladiator [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]. Serving as Megatron's "pet mad scientist" and [[second-in-command|second-in-command]], he saw to the fighter's armament during his rise to prominence, all the while fantasizing on the prospect of ''mass producing'' such warriors. Thankfully, Megatron's more practical nature reined in Shockwave as the movement which became the Decepticons finally moved out of the shadows.

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Shockwave was a scientist who lived on the fringes of Cybertronian society, admitting to [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]] he knew little of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. He was one of the scientists whose innovations allowed the mass production of stressed-crystal material used to build [[Crystal City]]. There he began his [[combiner]] experiments, creating [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus Maximus]], whose lack of intelligence in combined form made him a danger to friend and foe, and he was put in [[stasis lock]]. Shockwave moved to [[Kaon]], becoming a surgeon for the gladiators, where he met [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]us. He continued his combination experiments with the three [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s, whom Megatronus bested in combat: it was in this match that the crowd chanted a shorter name for the gladiator, Megatron. Megatron recognized two things about Shockwave: that he was bereft of any morality or ethics, and that while he was his most loyal ally, he would turn on him one day.

[[Image:WFCcomicDecepticons.jpg|thumb|left|300px|''We three 'Cons of Kaon are...'']]

During the [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war, Shockwave perfected his experiments with the [[Constructicon (Prime)|Constructicon]]s, creating a [[Devastator (WFC)|Devastator]] which was unleashed on Crystal City. Shockwave set up a laboratory in the ruins but was ordered to take command of the newly conquered city state [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]]. Autobot sympathizers became fodder for experiments, while Shockwave's forces conquered [[Vos]]. He quelled dissent in both cities by requesting Vos' Air Commanders [[photon missile]] strike Tarn, for which he claimed the Autobots were responsible, and then had a photon missile strike (of supposedly unknown origin) ordered on Vos, killing the Air Commanders whose true loyalty lay with [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]].

When the Decepticons captured [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] Station, Shockwave oversaw two of Starscream's scientists ingest [[Dark Energon]]: the powerful result activated a security [[gyro-inhibitor charge]] which rendered Shockwave unconscious. Shockwave later subjected the two subjects to a deprivation study, and found it necessary to muzzle them as the duo agonized as a result of Dark Energon's absence in their bodies. Shockwave also used the [[Spark]]s of those killed in the capture to turn Trypticon into a Decepticon, able to spawn drones and [[Mini-Con|Minicons]] in its corridors.

Shockwave remained on Cybertron in command of the Decepticons, while Megatron left with his elite soldiers on the ''Nemesis'' to pursue the Autobot ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Shockwave promised Megatron that [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1|Cybertron would remain as he left it]], the notion of which Megatron chastised. He ordered Shockwave to rebuild Cybertron and enslave the remaining Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

===IDW comics===

[[Image:LastStand-Shockwave.jpg|right|thumb|200px|And as purple as he is logical.]]

Shockwave had been put in charge of a remote Decepticon base in the middle of the [[Sea of Rust]], where he was to oversee a reportedly unlimited source of [[Energon]], a potentially amazing advantage in the waning days of the war for Cybertron. [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] had been dispatched to the investigate this mysterious Energon-rich Decepticon base when he overheard a conversation between Shockwave and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. Starscream was concerned that Shockwave's attentions were diverted away from the Energon discovery and was wasting his talents on examining the [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s he'd discovered and the "cosmic secrets" he had learned. Shockwave's Insecticon horde discovered Swoop's presence, and the Autobot was captured. {{storylink|Secrets (FOC)|Secrets}}

Predictably, the other members of Swoop's Autobot team, the [[Lightning Strike Coalition Force]] arrived in hopes of retrieving Swoop. Shockwave confronted the four and boasted that this action on their part was central to his plans. The Lightning Strike Coalition Force would make "perfect test subjects" for his experiments, {{storylink|Siege Mentality}} and as their leader, [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], fought back, Shockwave thanked him for not alerting [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] of their whereabouts. The five would be fashioned into the ultimate weapon for the Decepticon cause! {{storylink|Last Stand}}

Shockwave was waiting when Grimlock awoke, strung up in his laboratory. He explained that he had discovered ancient Transformers technology, a [[space bridge|bridge that could traverse both space and time]]. This "space bridge" had offered him a glimpse of many worlds, but most relevantly Shockwave had seen into the past of a certain [[Earth|small blue planet]] where [[dinosaur|amazing and terrible creatures]] once stalked its lands. As Shockwave's machinery took Grimlock apart, he told the Autobot that he and his team would be rebuilt into forms resembling those alien creatures. These Autobot heroes would become the greatest Decepticon weapons. {{storylink|Fragmentation (FOC)|Fragmentation}}

As Grimlock was being reformed, through his pain he saw visions of the future, of being unwittingly unleashed by Starscream and ultimately taking his revenge on Shockwave. Shockwave quells this visions by breaking into Grimlock's mind, reducing the once fiercely intelligent leader to nothing but a feral beserker. {{storylink|Fall}}

After Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s group of warriors had left the planet, Shockwave remained behind. Left to his own devices, Shockwave rediscovered a forgotten race of Transformers, the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]s, and kept close contact with one of their leaders, [[Ser-Ket]]. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 1}}

[[Image:Prime-Shockwave&Cliffjumper.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Logic dictates that there is a small chance that I will kill you, here and now... but I'm gonna shoot anyway.]]

While most of the population left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the [[Great Exodus]], Shockwave stayed behind. He spent his time building and scavenging technology, and managed to reverse-engineering [[space bridge]] technology. His efforts had come to fruition when [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], while delivering Energon to power the bridge, brought him an encrypted Autobot transmission along with two prisoners, [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]]. By using his own invention, the [[cortical psychic patch]], on Arcee, Shockwave gained the codes to decrypt the transmission, revealing it to be a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] calling the Autobots to [[Earth]]. He later found the two Autobots sabotaging the space bridge, and was buried in rubble during the ensuing fight. After he dug himself out, he followed them into the space bridge and was only stopped when Arcee hit his optical sensor. Shockwave was still inside the space bridge when it exploded, but Cliffjumper hoped he survived, as he wanted a rematch. {{storylink|Out of the Past}}

{{spoiler|Scattered|April 5, 2013}}
{{spoiler|Prey|April 12, 2013}}

Shockwave found himself back on the abandoned planet Cybertron, blinded. He repaired his injuries and continued his experiment, using recovered CNA to clone a [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]. Years later, Shockwave detected the energy surge caused by the [[Omega Lock]] and went to investigate, encountering [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] who had come on an unrelated mission.{{storylink|Scattered}} Shockwave returned with him to [[Earth]], where [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] had created a fortress. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}}

Megatron appointed Shockwave his first lieutenant in charge of science. With Starscream's interrogation of [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] failing to yield results, Shockwave attempted a cortical psychic patch, but was similarly unable to gain any information. The continuing failure to track down the scattered Autobots led Shockwave to reveal the fruits of his cloning work—a [[Predaking (Prime)|huge Predacon]]. {{storylink|Scattered}} Shockwave gave the creature a whiff of Wheeljack's energon before unleashing it, however it eventually returned empty-handed. {{storylink|Prey}}

Shockwave cloned [[Lazerback]] in a [[Hyperevolution Chamber]], unaware his subject could hear everything he said. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 3}} On awakening [[Ripclaw (Prime)|Ripclaw]], Shockwave told the Predacon that [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]] was in danger from the [[Autobot]]s. Ripclaw promptly took off out of the laboratory. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 8}} Sometime later, Shockwave realized that the Predacons were as big a threat to the Decepticons as to the Autobots and decided to shut down the cloning project. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 11}} He found [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] sneaking around his laboratory {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 10}} and came up with a new plan to blame the laboratory's destruction on the Autobots, hopefully causing Predaking to eliminate Prime's team. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 11}}

Shockwave was at the Energon Purification zone when the Decepticons had used it for their stores of Energon. Shockwave challenged Megatron and his troops to a fight, saying if they beat him, he'd join their ranks. Shockwave was indeed defeated, and somewhat reluctantly joined the Decepticon ranks.
{{Storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Steve Blum]]''
[[Image:FoCShockwave2.JPG|thumb|left|300px|He's being scouted for potential membership into the Legion of Doom.]]
When Cybertron was beginning to shut down, Shockwave wanted to reboot it, but to do this, he needed an large energon supply. As he searched for one, he discovered an ancient technology in the [[Sea of Rust]] called Space Bridges. Using the observatories of the ancients that used to reisde in the Sea of Rust, Shockwave began searching for new planets that he could suck the life out of, and found [[Earth|one]] rich in raw energy. He also began experimenting on several [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticons]] which had started coming onto the planet's surface, and took three unusually intelligent Insecticons, [[Hardshell]], [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]] and [[Sharpshot]], under his command. He later used them to capture [[Dinobot (Prime)|five Autobots]], whom he gave new forms based on the large reptiles he saw on the planet.

After [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] was killed during siege on the Autobot's Ark, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] took command of the Decepticons. The two argued over the use of a lake of Energon near the Space Bridge tower, and though Shockwave attempted to convince him of its potential usefulness, Starscream simply wanted to drain the lake. When [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] disrupted the fuel line leading to the tower, Shockwave unleashed an army of Insecticons upon them while he attempted to rectify the problem. He failed to do so, but luckily he had already built a replica tower in Kaon. Following [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]'s resurrection of Megatron, Shockwave went to Kaon meet him and informed him of his discovery of the Space Bridge and the planet they could plunder. Megatron subsequently went to retrieve [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]'s power core so that they could power a craft to get the there, while Shockwave went to finalize the completion of the tower.

Later, Starscream infiltrated Shockwave's facility and watched as Shockwave and his Insecticons tortured [[Grimlock (WFC)|one of the Autobots]] he had experimented on, before he attempted to recruit Grimlock, which failed and resulted in the Autobot being freed. Shockwave decided to consider the breakout a test of Grimlock's new abilities, and monitored him closely as he fought his Insecticon minions, and proceeded to tear apart every one of them. Much later, Grimlock had attempted to attack Shockwave at the Space Bridge, but he was quickly restrained. Shockwave taunted Grimlock saying that he wouldn't create such a powerful weapon without a means to control it, calling him a pet, and contacted Megatron to let him know the tower was active and the portal was open. After Megatron assigned Shockwave to take charge of the Decepticons in his absence, Grimlock was enraged enough for him to transform into his Tyrannosaurus mode and attack Shockwave, tearing his left arm off and knocking him away with his tail. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron}}

===''Transformers On Your Street''===
Shockwave arrived on [[You|your]] street from space in jet mode. He fought [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and landed a blow against him while you watched through your blinds. Grimlock retaliated by transforming into dinosaur mode, the sight of which sent Shockwave flying away. {{storylink|Transformers On Your Street}}

After a while, Starscream asked about Shockwave's choice of songs and was told once he got a higher hit percentage than Shockwave then he could choose a soundtrack. {{storylink|Commercial#War for Cybertron|GameStop's commercial for their Shockwave multiplayer exclusive}}

The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5mm post|hand-held]] "laser cannon" that's modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, revealing a socket on his wrist that a tab underneath his cannon can mount to. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large y-shaped barrel that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The y-shaped barrel part can also be stored on Shockwave's back, forming some sort of jet-pack exhaust.

:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the y-shaped barrel part, effectively serving as an extension of the barrel in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature "ear" panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).

:The figure has a "dramatic reveal" feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn't pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.

: This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Generations|Shockwave]] in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics. This mold was also [[redeco]]ed/[[retool]]ed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Air Raid (FOC)|Air Raid]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AM-29'''
**''Accessories:'' "Bido" Arms Micron

: Part of the ninth wave of [[TakaraTomy]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' toys, Shockwave is a redeco/retool of his ''Fall of Cybertron'' toy, and is the first release of said toy in Japan. His wings have been retooled with additional 5mm posts and ports, and he has been redecoed to have a brighter, metallic shade of purple plastic. Additionally, he has brighter silver [[paint operation]]s, and some of his other paint operations have been replaced with customer-applied [[sticker]]s.

: Instead of his two-piece laser cannon, he now comes with an [[Arms Micron]], [[Bido]], who transforms from a robotic rhinoceros beetle into [[Sling Shock#Prime|Shockwave's cannon]] and vehicle fuselage. Bido features numerous 5mm ports and posts for mounting, but can only be used as a hand-held cannon, and is unable to replace Shockwave's hand. Sorry.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime:]] [[Beast Hunters]]'' Voyager Class toys, Shockwave transforms into a Cybertronian tank. He features numerous 5mm ports, such as his shoulder-pads, right hand, and right forearm in robot mode, and his feet in vehicle mode. His rear treads are made of rubberized plastic, and the left tread unfurls to become a hose that attaches to the permanently attached "[[Hyperflux Cannon]]" that makes up his left forearm. By repeatedly pressing down on the trigger on top of the cannon, the barrel of the cannon spins while opening and closing, revealing more of its translucent red tip.

:For accessories, he comes with three "beast armor" pieces{{m-}}a three-eyed chest-plate and two claw-shaped panels{{m-}}that can be attached to Shockwave in both robot and vehicle modes, with the "claw" pieces attaching to his shoulders and feet via 5mm post.

:His instructions forget to mention that the "spike" panels on his tread [[Kibble|backpack]] need to be swung up for robot [[show-accuracy]], and that the treaded portions themselves are on [[Slide joint|telescoping joints]], and need to be pulled apart and extended for tank mode. His instructions also include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 11|eleventh chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

==Notes==
* In the map of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] from the "[[Binder of Revelation]]" included in ''[[Transformers Vault]]'', Shockwave came from [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]], which explains why he took control of it during the war.
* As noted above, Shockwave's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Retaliator-type chassis for [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]]-class characters. His parts are also available for Scientists in ''Fall of Cybertron'', now classified as Defender-type components.
* Shockwave is usable in both the Autobot and Decepticon versions of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|''War for Cybertron'' games for the DS]]. He is used only for multiplayer, bonus missions and Arena mode in the Autobot version and used in Multiplayer, Arena mode, and campaign in the Decepticon version.
* In the XBOX 360/PS3 versions of War for Cybertron, Shockwave's left arm is his Plasma Cannon, but in the DS version, it's his ''right'' arm.
* The GameStop ''War for Cybertron'' commercial describes Shockwave as second-in-command of the Decepticons, and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] is never officially referred to as such.
* For said commercial, Shockwave was voiced by [[Corey Burton]], voice actor of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1]] and [[Shockwave (Animated)|Animated]] Shockwaves. He later lamented over [http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=853&sid=3992b18086e21d8f6face60940505757 a forum post] that the performance was so rushed and the "gag" nature so out of character, that it hardly even sounded like him: "Two different sessions; and while they were awfully nice to work with, I have to say that the gag line was written and directed completely off-character. Since it was all supposed to be pretty "camp" anyway, and it had to be wedged-into a space that wasn't even there in the initial cut, I just went along with it. Figured it's just a silly bit of hype, that wasn't worth taking seriously enough to fuss over."
* The aforementioned commercial also indicates that Shockwave is evidently a fan of [[Stan Bush]].
* According to his [[Transformers Hall of Fame]] bio, Shockwave's emotions sometimes get the better of him, leading to irrational behavior. He also hopes that one day his work will let him reformat all Cybertronians to a new form of existence- and ideally become ruler of Cybertron in the process. Looks like Megatron's hunch wasn't far off...
* Although Shockwave is a Jet in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, he's a ground vehicle in the DS Version. This is most probably because the mission he is unlocked in features his Autobot counterpart, [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], a Heavy Ground vehicle. Shockwave's increasable stats are, however, those of a Flying Vehicle.

:''Ultra Magnus is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

'''Ultra Magnus''' is the hammer-wielding commander of the [[Wrecker]]s, and one of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s closest lieutenants. He's more than capable of whipping even the worst disarray into military discipline, though he can get rather hung-up on protocol. Regardless, he's rightly feared among the [[Decepticon]] ranks.

{{quote|Daring, strategically ingenious, and courageous to the point of recklessness, Ultra Magnus hammers back the Decepticon forces — literally.|[[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]]|[[Covenant of Primus]]}}

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Ultra Magnus was a sergeant of the [[Autobot High Council|Council]] Guardians who held back the Decepticons during the siege of the [[Hydrax Plateau]] spaceport despite overwhelming odds. Though the spaceport fell, Magnus and his main soldiers proved to be indispensable soldiers and were dubbed the "Wreckers". The Wreckers were crucial to holding [[Tagan Heights]], battling [[Devastator (WFC)|Devastator]] and buying time for the scientists there to build the [[Protectobot (Prime)|Protectobot]] [[combiner]] [[Defensor (Prime)|Defensor]].

When [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] corrupted the [[core]] of Cybertron with [[Dark Energon]], Ultra Magnus and his Wreckers had destroyed an armored convoy on the Iacon-Hydrax road. They guarded the entrance at the [[Well of All Sparks]] with [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] while [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] descended to purge the core. When the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' was completed, Ultra Magnus offered to stay behind and fight off [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] when the gargantuan Decepticon emerged. Trypticon transformed into the ''Nemesis'' and pursued the ''Ark'' into space, but with his Wreckers and [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] along with other remaining Autobots, Magnus was ready to battle [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]]'s new regime. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

===''Rage of the Dinobots''===
[[Image:RageOfTheDinobots2-UltraMagnus.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Seriously, how many bodies do I have?!]]
After [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] had left Cybertron, there was still a convoy of ships that was trying to escape what was left of the war. This convoy was escorted by Ultra Magnus and the [[Dinobot (Prime)|Dinobot]]s, who fended the escape crafts from Decepticon saboteurs. After saving [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] from the Decepticons who had surrounded him, Ultra Magnus and his personal craft exploded and crashed. Ultra Magnus was pulled from the wreckage by surviving members of the long-lost [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]] faction and relocated to their hideout. The Predacons' commander, [[Ser-Ket]], reported to her master, [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], that Ultra Magnus was theirs, ready to be [[re-forged]]. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 1}}

Ultra Magnus detected a huge energy surge heading towards [[Earth]] and followed it there to search for Autobot energy traces.
{{storylink|Prey}} He set down in front of the nearest signal to find [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Jack Darby|a native life-form]]. {{storylink|Scattered}} After establishing proper chain of command, he took them aboard and proceeded to the next energy traces, only to find [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] and [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] fighting a [[Predaking (Prime)|huge metal dragon]]. He picked the pair up along with [[Miko Nakadai|another native life-form]] and engaged in a dual with the beast, eventually managing to knock it off the top of his spaceship by flying through a canyon. Magnus tracked the remaining Autobot traces to a wrecked Decepticon ship and found [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]]. Assuming command in [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]'s absence, Ultra Magnus introduced the Autobots to his weapons locker. {{storylink|Prey}}

[[Image:UltraMagnusWFCDSconcept.jpg|thumb|300px|"I can't make this joke right now."]]
{{voiceactor|[[Jamieson Price]] (English)}}
Following Trypticon's crash-landing and subsequent rampage on Cybertron, Ultra Magnus took part in the Autobot counter-attack on the beast. At one point, he was pinned down by enemy fire, and asked Jetfire and Ironhide for assistance.

Somehow Ultra Magnus got corrupted by [[Dark Energon]] and left in the sewers, likely by the Decepticons [[Swoop (WFC)|who are known to do that sort of thing]]. There he ran around randomly breaking things until the Autobots, unaware of his presence, placed a bomb in the sewers, intending to prevent them from falling under Decepticon control. When the Autobots detected a strange signal coming from the collapsing sewers, they sent in a small team to investigate. The team was confronted with the sight of Magnus crashing through a wall, and realized he'd been corrupted. With time short, the Autobots fought Ultra Magnus until the Dark Energon was purged from his system and he regained his senses. Then they all high-tailed it out of the sewers before the final collapse. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Cyberverse#Series 2|Series 2 Cyberverse]] Commander Class toys, Ultra Magnus transforms into a truck and back! This version of Magnus is a new mold of a one-piece flat-bed truck, and he features a translucent chest and front windshield to interact with the light-up features of the various Cyberverse playsets. He comes with a translucent blue hammer which can also transform into an artillery cannon, and he can hold the weapon in either mode with his hands, or store it on a [[C joint|3mm post]] on his roof/back. Additionally, he has 3mm peg-holes on his toolboxes/forearms, his truck rear, and on either side of his hammerhead/cannon base. In order to accommodate holding the hammer by the haft, Magnus' hands are molded unusually open, likely in order to avoid stress marks and/or breakage.

: He also has [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake wheels]] on the insides of his legs, in order to emulate the look of his Voyager Class toy (see below), whose transformation he can't completely mimic.

: Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Voyager Class toys, this larger-scale Magnus comes with a massive artillery cannon that transforms into a "battle hammer" with its hammerhead illuminated by an LED, and unlike all the other Voyager Class light-up weapons in the line, it is capable of locking into hammer mode. His [[instructions]] tell you to peg the cannon onto his truck bed via flip-out [[5mm post|5mm socket]]-mounts, but this configuration sadly does not really work very well thanks to slightly mis-aligned pegs/mounts. He also has an extra (non-firing) rocket that you can put wherever it makes you happy.

: He is mis-transformed in his [[stock photography]], with the rear truck wheels left sticking out of his lower legs, rather than folding around his calves. It also depicts him having additional [[paint operation]]s which were omitted from the final product, such as the red paint on the upper half of his chest, and the silver paint on his abdomen, smokestacks, and truck bed sides. Additionally, the weapon's locking mechanism appears to have been [[retool]]ed for the final toy. These stock photo errors are present in the robot mode render seen at the top of this page, with said render (from the waist up) being used as this toy's [[package art]].

: The [[TakaraTomy]] release, part of the ninth wave of Japanese ''Prime'' toys, features numerous differences from the Hasbro release. His blue plastic is brighter and non-metallic, his grille, toes, and sculpted shoulder rockets are a brighter gray, and his arms, thighs, and hands are a darker gray. Most of his paint operations have been replaced with customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s, and of what paint remains, his white has been replaced by yellow, his silver is brighter, and his red is more matte. Instead of the Hasbro accessories, he comes with his [[Arms Micron]] partner [[Ulma]], who transforms into his hammer. The hammer can still be wielded two-handed, but doesn't make a particularly convincing artillery cannon.

'''A key Decepticon arrives on Earth while Wheeljack manages a small victory.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] are both surprised to see [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]], having believed him dead. Shockwave explains that after his battle with [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] in the [[space bridge]], he found himself marooned on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. After repairing himself, he continued his experiments until an energy surge led him to [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]]'s team in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. He asks Starscream pointedly why he was left for dead, and judges the response logical enough. Megatron appoints Shockwave first lieutenant in charge of science, something Starscream doesn't seem that happy with.

[[File:Scattered-Bigfoot.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Unlike [[Bigfoot]], Ratchet is actually findable.]]

[[Jack Darby|Jack]] and Arcee stop at a deserted farmhouse for a break and Jack worries that they're all that's left of Team Prime. Arcee says there are other Autobots out there who escaped in the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]], but who knows where they are? Meanwhile [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] is surfing [[Internet|conspiracy websites]] in search of [[Autobot]] sightings. He hits dirt in the form of a photo of [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] in a junkyard outside Woodland Park. Starscream, doing likewise, finds the same picture, but before he can draw the other Decepticons' attention to it, Raf replaces the picture with a dancing monkey. To quell Megatron's displeasure, Shockwave suggests using a [[cortical psychic patch]] on [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]. Meanwhile, [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] are waiting fruitlessly at the Wrecker meeting spot.

[[File:Scattered-Ultra Magnus.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]

Shockwave reports that the patch didn't yield any new information. Starscream announces he'll see to Wheeljack's termination, and soon Wheeljack is standing on a platform over lava. The attendant [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s push Wheeljack towards the edge, but he grabs one of them and throws it off before jumping himself. The Vehicon transforms to flight mode, and Wheeljack lands on its back, proceeding to go on a Vehicon-trashing flight before driving off. Megatron is very upset until Starscream reveals he's planted a tracking device on Wheeljack so the Autobot can lead them to his friends.

Bumblebee and Raf reach the junkyard to find Ratchet sitting in vehicle mode and sporting the surliest mood as the Autobots have patently lost. The pair suggest that they can use the ''Harbinger''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resources to fight back, but Ratchet has no hope they can do anything, and tells them to leave him alone.

Meanwhile, [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] has been unable to salvage anything medical from the ruins of the base. When [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus]] asks about the [[Forge of Solus Prime]], Smokescreen reasons it must be in the fortress somewhere, and goes to look.

Bulkhead and Miko's waiting is finally rewarded by the arrival of Wheeljack. The Decepticons, monitoring Starscream's bug, see that their plan has paid off, and Starscream sends out his Vehicon seekers. The Decepticons arrive at a river, but all they see is a log floating downstream. The log turns out to have both the tracking device and a grenade attached, the latter of which takes them all out. Watching from a nearby hill, Wheeljack reveals how he found the tracking device, and says he has some more explosives.

Raf and Bumblebee try unsuccessfully to power up the ''Harbinger'', only to be pleasantly surprised when Ratchet arrives to help. Elsewhere, Jack and Arcee's journey is interrupted by the surprise arrival of a starship. It lands in front of them and out steps none-other than [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]].

On the ''Nemesis'', Megatron rages over Starscream's failure, but Shockwave reveals he has a wild card of his own, sitting in his lab on Cybertron. Taking a trip back to their home planet, Shockwave returns through the space bridge with the huge [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]] he has cloned.

==Quotes==
"I find your reply to be... logical."
:—'''Shockwave''''s response to Starscream's explanation.

"Careful, Starscream. You may dislocate a landing gear patting yourself on the back."
:—'''Knock Out''' echoes the audience's feelings about Starscream's "I killed Cliffjumper" noise.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*As in the previous episode, Wheeljack is perfectly clean despite being pulled from the wreckage of his ship relatively disheveled and somewhat damaged. He does retain the scars on his chest, but these don't carry over to his vehicle mode.
*As Arcee chats with Jack about other Autobots who left Cybertron, the wings on her back are missing in one shot (see the main image). A similar error occurs with Bumblebee when he and Raf try to talk to Ratchet.

===Continuity notes===
*Shockwave's battle with Arcee and Cliffjumper took place in "[[Out of the Past]]".
*Starscream brings up the fact that he offlined Cliffjumper, yet again.
*The photo Raf uses to replace Ratchet's is the same one he used in "[[New Recruit]]".
*Jack mentions the [[Key to Vector Sigma]], which Optimus gave him in "[[One Shall Rise, Part 2]]" and was returned in "[[Orion Pax, Part 3]]".

===Transformers references===
*Much like its Generation 1 equivalent, Darkmount has a [[smelting pool]].
*Starscream refers to the silver Vehicons as "[[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]". They all have red insignia like Starscream, suggesting the coloration is indicative of their status. There only seem to be five of them in total, as Starscream specifically calls for "all seekers".

===Real-world references===
*Shockwave notes that "Reports of my demise were greatly premature," a paraphrase of a famous quote from [[Mark Twain]].
*The photo of Ratchet homages [[Wikipedia:File:Smalfut.jpg|a particularly iconic image of Bigfoot]].

===Trivia===
*The worldwide premiere of "Scattered" was on okto, a Singaporean channel, where it aired back-to-back with "[[Darkmount, NV]]" and "[[Prey]]".
*It takes Ratchet mere seconds to deduce that Starscream was using the ''Harbinger'' as a base of operations back when he was an independent agent. Surely this would have been useful when [[Triangulation|he stole the Apex Armor]], the [[New Recruit|red energon]], or the [[Inside Job|Omega Keys]]. Ah, hindsight.
*Knockout is now the [[Ratchet (WFC)|third]] [[Starscream (WFC)|Cybertronian]] to be amused by human humor.
*Cybertronians apparently need to stretch.
*Starscream seems to be ''terrified'' of Shockwave.

[[Image:Shockwave CGI Packaging 1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|SPM seeking abominations of science. Turn-ons: dinosaurs, logic]]

'''Shockwave''' was a member of the scientist caste in the industrial city of [[Kaon]]. In a reversal of the usual order, he was swayed by the ambitions of the former mining caste member turned gladiator [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]. Serving as Megatron's "pet mad scientist" and [[second-in-command|second-in-command]], he saw to the fighter's armament during his rise to prominence, all the while fantasizing on the prospect of ''mass producing'' such warriors. Thankfully, Megatron's more practical nature reined in Shockwave as the movement which became the Decepticons finally moved out of the shadows.

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
Shockwave was a scientist who lived on the fringes of Cybertronian society, admitting to [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]] he knew little of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. He was one of the scientists whose innovations allowed the mass production of stressed-crystal material used to build [[Crystal City]]. There he began his [[combiner]] experiments, creating [[Bruticus (Prime)|Bruticus Maximus]], whose lack of intelligence in combined form made him a danger to friend and foe, and he was put in [[stasis lock]]. Shockwave moved to [[Kaon]], becoming a surgeon for the gladiators, where he met [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]us. He continued his combination experiments with the three [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s, whom Megatronus bested in combat: it was in this match that the crowd chanted a shorter name for the gladiator, Megatron. Megatron recognized two things about Shockwave: that he was bereft of any morality or ethics, and that while he was his most loyal ally, he would turn on him one day.

[[Image:WFCcomicDecepticons.jpg|thumb|left|300px|''We three 'Cons of Kaon are...'']]

During the [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war, Shockwave perfected his experiments with the [[Constructicon (Prime)|Constructicon]]s, creating a [[Devastator (WFC)|Devastator]] which was unleashed on Crystal City. Shockwave set up a laboratory in the ruins but was ordered to take command of the newly conquered city state [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]]. Autobot sympathizers became fodder for experiments, while Shockwave's forces conquered [[Vos]]. He quelled dissent in both cities by requesting Vos' Air Commanders [[photon missile]] strike Tarn, for which he claimed the Autobots were responsible, and then had a photon missile strike (of supposedly unknown origin) ordered on Vos, killing the Air Commanders whose true loyalty lay with [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]].

When the Decepticons captured [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] Station, Shockwave oversaw two of Starscream's scientists ingest [[Dark Energon]]: the powerful result activated a security [[gyro-inhibitor charge]] which rendered Shockwave unconscious. Shockwave later subjected the two subjects to a deprivation study, and found it necessary to muzzle them as the duo agonized as a result of Dark Energon's absence in their bodies. Shockwave also used the [[Spark]]s of those killed in the capture to turn Trypticon into a Decepticon, able to spawn drones and [[Mini-Con|Minicons]] in its corridors.

Shockwave remained on Cybertron in command of the Decepticons, while Megatron left with his elite soldiers on the ''Nemesis'' to pursue the Autobot ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Shockwave promised Megatron that [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1|Cybertron would remain as he left it]], the notion of which Megatron chastised. He ordered Shockwave to rebuild Cybertron and enslave the remaining Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

[[Image:LastStand-Shockwave.jpg|right|thumb|200px|And as purple as he is logical.]]

Shockwave had been put in charge of a remote Decepticon base in the middle of the [[Sea of Rust]], where he was to oversee a reportedly unlimited source of [[Energon]], a potentially amazing advantage in the waning days of the war for Cybertron. [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] had been dispatched to the investigate this mysterious Energon-rich Decepticon base when he overheard a conversation between Shockwave and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. Starscream was concerned that Shockwave's attentions were diverted away from the Energon discovery and was wasting his talents on examining the [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s he'd discovered and the "cosmic secrets" he had learned. Shockwave's Insecticon horde discovered Swoop's presence, and the Autobot was captured. {{storylink|Secrets (FOC)|Secrets}}

Predictably, the other members of Swoop's Autobot team, the [[Lightning Strike Coalition Force]] arrived in hopes of retrieving Swoop. Shockwave confronted the four and boasted that this action on their part was central to his plans. The Lightning Strike Coalition Force would make "perfect test subjects" for his experiments, {{storylink|Siege Mentality}} and as their leader, [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], fought back, Shockwave thanked him for not alerting [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] of their whereabouts. The five would be fashioned into the ultimate weapon for the Decepticon cause! {{storylink|Last Stand}}

Shockwave was waiting when Grimlock awoke, strung up in his laboratory. He explained that he had discovered ancient Transformers technology, a [[space bridge|bridge that could traverse both space and time]]. This "space bridge" had offered him a glimpse of many worlds, but most relevantly Shockwave had seen into the past of a certain [[Earth|small blue planet]] where [[dinosaur|amazing and terrible creatures]] once stalked its lands. As Shockwave's machinery took Grimlock apart, he told the Autobot that he and his team would be rebuilt into forms resembling those alien creatures. These Autobot heroes would become the greatest Decepticon weapons. {{storylink|Fragmentation (FOC)|Fragmentation}}

As Grimlock was being reformed, through his pain he saw visions of the future, of being unwittingly unleashed by Starscream and ultimately taking his revenge on Shockwave. Shockwave quells this visions by breaking into Grimlock's mind, reducing the once fiercely intelligent leader to nothing but a feral beserker. {{storylink|Fall}}

After Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s group of warriors had left the planet, Shockwave remained behind. Left to his own devices, Shockwave rediscovered a forgotten race of Transformers, the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]s, and kept close contact with one of their leaders, [[Ser-Ket]]. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 1}}

[[Image:Prime-Shockwave&Cliffjumper.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Logic dictates that there is a small chance that I will kill you, here and now... but I'm gonna shoot anyway.]]

While most of the population left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the [[Great Exodus]], Shockwave stayed behind. He spent his time building and scavenging technology, and managed to reverse-engineering [[space bridge]] technology. His efforts had come to fruition when [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], while delivering Energon to power the bridge, brought him an encrypted Autobot transmission along with two prisoners, [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]]. By using his own invention, the [[cortical psychic patch]], on Arcee, Shockwave gained the codes to decrypt the transmission, revealing it to be a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] calling the Autobots to [[Earth]]. He later found the two Autobots sabotaging the space bridge, and was buried in rubble during the ensuing fight. After he dug himself out, he followed them into the space bridge and was only stopped when Arcee hit his optical sensor. Shockwave was still inside the space bridge when it exploded, but Cliffjumper hoped he survived, as he wanted a rematch. {{storylink|Out of the Past}}

Shockwave was at the Energon Purification zone when the Decepticons had used it for their stores of Energon. Shockwave challenged Megatron and his troops to a fight, saying if they beat him, he'd join their ranks. Shockwave was indeed defeated, and somewhat reluctantly joined the Decepticon ranks.

===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Steve Blum]]''
[[Image:FoCShockwave2.JPG|thumb|left|300px|He's being scouted for potential membership into the Legion of Doom.]]
When Cybertron was beginning to shut down, Shockwave wanted to reboot it, but to do this, he needed an large energon supply. As he searched for one, he discovered an ancient technology in the [[Sea of Rust]] called Space Bridges. Using the observatories of the ancients that used to reisde in the Sea of Rust, Shockwave began searching for new planets that he could suck the life out of, and found [[Earth|one]] rich in raw energy. He also began experimenting on several [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticons]] which had started coming onto the planet's surface, and took three unusually intelligent Insecticons, [[Hardshell]], [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]] and [[Sharpshot]], under his command. He later used them to capture [[Dinobot (Prime)|five Autobots]], whom he gave new forms based on the large reptiles he saw on the planet.

After [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] was killed during siege on the Autobot's Ark, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] took command of the Decepticons. The two argued over the use of a lake of Energon near the Space Bridge tower, and though Shockwave attempted to convince him of its potential usefulness, Starscream simply wanted to drain the lake. When [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] disrupted the fuel line leading to the tower, Shockwave unleashed an army of Insecticons upon them while he attempted to rectify the problem. He failed to do so, but luckily he had already built a replica tower in Kaon. Following [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]'s resurrection of Megatron, Shockwave went to Kaon meet him and informed him of his discovery of the Space Bridge and the planet they could plunder. Megatron subsequently went to retrieve [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]'s power core so that they could power a craft to get the there, while Shockwave went to finalize the completion of the tower.

Later, Starscream infiltrated Shockwave's facility and watched as Shockwave and his Insecticons tortured [[Grimlock (WFC)|one of the Autobots]] he had experimented on, before he attempted to recruit Grimlock, which failed and resulted in the Autobot being freed. Shockwave decided to consider the breakout a test of Grimlock's new abilities, and monitored him closely as he fought his Insecticon minions, and proceeded to tear apart every one of them. Much later, Grimlock had attempted to attack Shockwave at the Space Bridge, but he was quickly restrained. Shockwave taunted Grimlock saying that he wouldn't create such a powerful weapon without a means to control it, calling him a pet, and contacted Megatron to let him know the tower was active and the portal was open. After Megatron assigned Shockwave to take charge of the Decepticons in his absence, Grimlock was enraged enough for him to transform into his Tyrannosaurus mode and attack Shockwave, tearing his left arm off and knocking him away with his tail. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron}}

===''Transformers On Your Street''===
Shockwave arrived on [[You|your]] street from space in jet mode. He fought [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and landed a blow against him while you watched through your blinds. Grimlock retaliated by transforming into dinosaur mode, the sight of which sent Shockwave flying away. {{storylink|Transformers On Your Street}}

Megatron left Shockwave to handle an unknown battle when he arrived. Shockwave instructed Soundwave to transform into boombox mode and play [[The Touch]]! After a while, Starscream asked about Shockwave's choice of songs and was told once he got a higher hit percentage than Shockwave then he could choose a soundtrack. {{storylink|Commercial#War for Cybertron|GameStop's commercial for their Shockwave multiplayer exclusive}}

*'''Shockwave''' (Deluxe, 2012)
**''Series/number'': '''01 / 003'''
**''Accessories:'' Two-piece laser cannon

: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Shockwave transforms into a "Cybertronian mobile artillery" mode. The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5mm post|hand-held]] "laser cannon" that's modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, revealing a socket on his wrist that a tab underneath his cannon can mount to. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large y-shaped barrel that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The y-shaped barrel part can also be stored on Shockwave's back, forming some sort of jet-pack exhaust.

:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the y-shaped barrel part, effectively serving as an extension of the barrel in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature "ear" panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).

:The figure has a "dramatic reveal" feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn't pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.

: This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Generations|Shockwave]] in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics.

==Notes==
* In the map of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] from the "[[Binder of Revelation]]" included in ''[[Transformers Vault]]'', Shockwave came from [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]], which explains why he took control of it during the war.
* As noted above, Shockwave's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Retaliator-type chassis for [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]]-class characters. His parts are also available for Scientists in ''Fall of Cybertron'', now classified as Defender-type components.
* Shockwave is usable in both the Autobot and Decepticon versions of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|''War for Cybertron'' games for the DS]]. He is used only for multiplayer, bonus missions and Arena mode in the Autobot version and used in Multiplayer, Arena mode, and campaign in the Decepticon version.
* In the XBOX 360/PS3 versions of War for Cybertron, Shockwave's left arm is his Plasma Cannon, but in the DS version, it's his ''right'' arm.
* The GameStop ''War for Cybertron'' commercial describes Shockwave as second-in-command of the Decepticons, and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] is never officially referred to as such.
* For said commercial, Shockwave was voiced by [[Corey Burton]], voice actor of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1]] and [[Shockwave (Animated)|Animated]] Shockwaves. He later lamented over [http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=853&sid=3992b18086e21d8f6face60940505757 a forum post] that the performance was so rushed and the "gag" nature so out of character, that it hardly even sounded like him: "Two different sessions; and while they were awfully nice to work with, I have to say that the gag line was written and directed completely off-character. Since it was all supposed to be pretty "camp" anyway, and it had to be wedged-into a space that wasn't even there in the initial cut, I just went along with it. Figured it's just a silly bit of hype, that wasn't worth taking seriously enough to fuss over."
* The aforementioned commercial also indicates that Shockwave is evidently a fan of [[Stan Bush]].
* According to his [[Transformers Hall of Fame]] bio, Shockwave's emotions sometimes get the better of him, leading to irrational behavior. He also hopes that one day his work will let him reformat all Cybertronians to a new form of existence- and ideally become ruler of Cybertron in the process. Looks like Megatron's hunch wasn't far off...
* Although Shockwave is a Jet in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, he's a ground vehicle in the DS Version. This is most probably because the mission he is unlocked in features his Autobot counterpart, [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], a Heavy Ground vehicle. Shockwave's increasable stats are, however, those of a Flying Vehicle.

Shockwave promised Megatron that [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1|Cybertron would remain as he left it]], the notion of which Megatron chastised. He ordered Shockwave to rebuild Cybertron and enslave the remaining Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

[[Image:LastStand-Shockwave.jpg|right|thumb|200px|And as purple as he is logical.]]

Shockwave had been put in charge of a remote Decepticon base in the middle of the [[Sea of Rust]], where he was to oversee a reportedly unlimited source of [[Energon]], a potentially amazing advantage in the waning days of the war for Cybertron. [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] had been dispatched to the investigate this mysterious Energon-rich Decepticon base when he overheard a conversation between Shockwave and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. Starscream was concerned that Shockwave's attentions were diverted away from the Energon discovery and was wasting his talents on examining the [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s he'd discovered and the "cosmic secrets" he had learned. Shockwave's Insecticon horde discovered Swoop's presence, and the Autobot was captured. {{storylink|Secrets (FOC)|Secrets}}

Predictably, the other members of Swoop's Autobot team, the [[Lightning Strike Coalition Force]] arrived in hopes of retrieving Swoop. Shockwave confronted the four and boasted that this action on their part was central to his plans. The Lightning Strike Coalition Force would make "perfect test subjects" for his experiments, {{storylink|Siege Mentality}} and as their leader, [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], fought back, Shockwave thanked him for not alerting [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] of their whereabouts. The five would be fashioned into the ultimate weapon for the Decepticon cause! {{storylink|Last Stand}}

Shockwave was waiting when Grimlock awoke, strung up in his laboratory. He explained that he had discovered ancient Transformers technology, a [[space bridge|bridge that could traverse both space and time]]. This "space bridge" had offered him a glimpse of many worlds, but most relevantly Shockwave had seen into the past of a certain [[Earth|small blue planet]] where [[dinosaur|amazing and terrible creatures]] once stalked its lands. As Shockwave's machinery took Grimlock apart, he told the Autobot that he and his team would be rebuilt into forms resembling those alien creatures. These Autobot heroes would become the greatest Decepticon weapons. {{storylink|Fragmentation (FOC)|Fragmentation}}

As Grimlock was being reformed, through his pain he saw visions of the future, of being unwittingly unleashed by Starscream and ultimately taking his revenge on Shockwave. Shockwave quells this visions by breaking into Grimlock's mind, reducing the once fiercely intelligent leader to nothing but a feral beserker. {{storylink|Fall}}

After Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s group of warriors had left the planet, Shockwave remained behind. Left to his own devices, Shockwave rediscovered a forgotten race of Transformers, the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]s, and kept close contact with one of their leaders, [[Ser-Ket]]. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 1}}

[[Image:Prime-Shockwave&Cliffjumper.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Logic dictates that there is a small chance that I will kill you, here and now... but I'm gonna shoot anyway.]]

While most of the population left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the [[Great Exodus]], Shockwave stayed behind. He spent his time building and scavenging technology, and managed to reverse-engineering [[space bridge]] technology. His efforts had come to fruition when [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], while delivering Energon to power the bridge, brought him an encrypted Autobot transmission along with two prisoners, [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]]. By using his own invention, the [[cortical psychic patch]], on Arcee, Shockwave gained the codes to decrypt the transmission, revealing it to be a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] calling the Autobots to [[Earth]]. He later found the two Autobots sabotaging the space bridge, and was buried in rubble during the ensuing fight. After he dug himself out, he followed them into the space bridge and was only stopped when Arcee hit his optical sensor. Shockwave was still inside the space bridge when it exploded, but Cliffjumper hoped he survived, as he wanted a rematch. {{storylink|Out of the Past}}

Shockwave cloned [[Lazerback]] in a [[Hyperevolution Chamber]], unaware his subject could hear everything he said. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 3}} On awakening [[Ripclaw (Prime)|Ripclaw]], Shockwave told the Predacon that [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]] was in danger from the [[Autobot]]s. Ripclaw promptly took off out of the laboratory. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 8}} Sometime later, Shockwave found [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] sneaking around his laboratory and confronted the young Autobot. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 10}}

Shockwave was at the Energon Purification zone when the Decepticons had used it for their stores of Energon. Shockwave challenged Megatron and his troops to a fight, saying if they beat him, he'd join their ranks. Shockwave was indeed defeated, and somewhat reluctantly joined the Decepticon ranks.

===''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Steve Blum]]''
[[Image:FoCShockwave2.JPG|thumb|left|300px|He's being scouted for potential membership into the Legion of Doom.]]
When Cybertron was beginning to shut down, Shockwave wanted to reboot it, but to do this, he needed an large energon supply. As he searched for one, he discovered an ancient technology in the [[Sea of Rust]] called Space Bridges. Using the observatories of the ancients that used to reisde in the Sea of Rust, Shockwave began searching for new planets that he could suck the life out of, and found [[Earth|one]] rich in raw energy. He also began experimenting on several [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticons]] which had started coming onto the planet's surface, and took three unusually intelligent Insecticons, [[Hardshell]], [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]] and [[Sharpshot]], under his command. He later used them to capture [[Dinobot (Prime)|five Autobots]], whom he gave new forms based on the large reptiles he saw on the planet.

After [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] was killed during siege on the Autobot's Ark, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] took command of the Decepticons. The two argued over the use of a lake of Energon near the Space Bridge tower, and though Shockwave attempted to convince him of its potential usefulness, Starscream simply wanted to drain the lake. When [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] disrupted the fuel line leading to the tower, Shockwave unleashed an army of Insecticons upon them while he attempted to rectify the problem. He failed to do so, but luckily he had already built a replica tower in Kaon. Following [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]'s resurrection of Megatron, Shockwave went to Kaon meet him and informed him of his discovery of the Space Bridge and the planet they could plunder. Megatron subsequently went to retrieve [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]'s power core so that they could power a craft to get the there, while Shockwave went to finalize the completion of the tower.

Later, Starscream infiltrated Shockwave's facility and watched as Shockwave and his Insecticons tortured [[Grimlock (WFC)|one of the Autobots]] he had experimented on, before he attempted to recruit Grimlock, which failed and resulted in the Autobot being freed. Shockwave decided to consider the breakout a test of Grimlock's new abilities, and monitored him closely as he fought his Insecticon minions, and proceeded to tear apart every one of them. Much later, Grimlock had attempted to attack Shockwave at the Space Bridge, but he was quickly restrained. Shockwave taunted Grimlock saying that he wouldn't create such a powerful weapon without a means to control it, calling him a pet, and contacted Megatron to let him know the tower was active and the portal was open. After Megatron assigned Shockwave to take charge of the Decepticons in his absence, Grimlock was enraged enough for him to transform into his Tyrannosaurus mode and attack Shockwave, tearing his left arm off and knocking him away with his tail. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron}}

===''Transformers On Your Street''===
Shockwave arrived on [[You|your]] street from space in jet mode. He fought [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] and landed a blow against him while you watched through your blinds. Grimlock retaliated by transforming into dinosaur mode, the sight of which sent Shockwave flying away. {{storylink|Transformers On Your Street}}

Megatron left Shockwave to handle an unknown battle when he arrived. Shockwave instructed Soundwave to transform into boombox mode and play [[The Touch]]! After a while, Starscream asked about Shockwave's choice of songs and was told once he got a higher hit percentage than Shockwave then he could choose a soundtrack. {{storylink|Commercial#War for Cybertron|GameStop's commercial for their Shockwave multiplayer exclusive}}

*'''Shockwave''' (Deluxe, 2012)
**''Series/number'': '''01 / 003'''
**''Accessories:'' Two-piece laser cannon

: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Shockwave transforms into a "Cybertronian mobile artillery" mode. The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5mm post|hand-held]] "laser cannon" that's modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, revealing a socket on his wrist that a tab underneath his cannon can mount to. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large y-shaped barrel that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The y-shaped barrel part can also be stored on Shockwave's back, forming some sort of jet-pack exhaust.

:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the y-shaped barrel part, effectively serving as an extension of the barrel in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature "ear" panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).

:The figure has a "dramatic reveal" feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn't pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.

: This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Generations|Shockwave]] in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics.

==Notes==
* In the map of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] from the "[[Binder of Revelation]]" included in ''[[Transformers Vault]]'', Shockwave came from [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]], which explains why he took control of it during the war.
* As noted above, Shockwave's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Retaliator-type chassis for [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]]-class characters. His parts are also available for Scientists in ''Fall of Cybertron'', now classified as Defender-type components.
* Shockwave is usable in both the Autobot and Decepticon versions of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|''War for Cybertron'' games for the DS]]. He is used only for multiplayer, bonus missions and Arena mode in the Autobot version and used in Multiplayer, Arena mode, and campaign in the Decepticon version.
* In the XBOX 360/PS3 versions of War for Cybertron, Shockwave's left arm is his Plasma Cannon, but in the DS version, it's his ''right'' arm.
* The GameStop ''War for Cybertron'' commercial describes Shockwave as second-in-command of the Decepticons, and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] is never officially referred to as such.
* For said commercial, Shockwave was voiced by [[Corey Burton]], voice actor of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1]] and [[Shockwave (Animated)|Animated]] Shockwaves. He later lamented over [http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=853&sid=3992b18086e21d8f6face60940505757 a forum post] that the performance was so rushed and the "gag" nature so out of character, that it hardly even sounded like him: "Two different sessions; and while they were awfully nice to work with, I have to say that the gag line was written and directed completely off-character. Since it was all supposed to be pretty "camp" anyway, and it had to be wedged-into a space that wasn't even there in the initial cut, I just went along with it. Figured it's just a silly bit of hype, that wasn't worth taking seriously enough to fuss over."
* The aforementioned commercial also indicates that Shockwave is evidently a fan of [[Stan Bush]].
* According to his [[Transformers Hall of Fame]] bio, Shockwave's emotions sometimes get the better of him, leading to irrational behavior. He also hopes that one day his work will let him reformat all Cybertronians to a new form of existence- and ideally become ruler of Cybertron in the process. Looks like Megatron's hunch wasn't far off...
* Although Shockwave is a Jet in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, he's a ground vehicle in the DS Version. This is most probably because the mission he is unlocked in features his Autobot counterpart, [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], a Heavy Ground vehicle. Shockwave's increasable stats are, however, those of a Flying Vehicle.

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

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

The ''Transformers: Prime'' toys released in 2013 as the main line use the "Beast Hunters" subtitle.

The Voyager class figures acquire a universal gimmick shared in the form of a spring-loaded [[MechTech]]-style transforming weapon partially constructed from translucent plastic, which also features an LED that moves into place and is activated when the weapon is deployed. The figures themselves also feature translucent plastic in various spots throughout their bodies, so that when the weapon is in place and deployed, the moving LED creates the idea of energon power "flowing" from the character's bodies into their weapons. Internally, these figures were referred to by Hasbro as "Powerizers" due to this gimmick, but the official name remains "Voyager Class".

Transformers: Prime (toyline)

2013-01-16T05:39:54Z

Wheeljack1786: /* Beast Hunters (2013) */

{{Nav-Prime}}

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

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

The ''Transformers: Prime'' toys released in 2013 as the main line use the "Beast Hunters" subtitle.

Terrorcon Cliffjumper was omitted in the initial release of Wave 2, and said wave was, at first, only released in Hasbro's Asian markets. In late 2012, Wave 2 was released in its entirety in Hasbro's Asian markets, and [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] picked up these toys, along with most of the "First Edition" line, as part of a ''huge'' block of US market [[exclusive]]s for the holiday season.}}

==Robots in Disguise (2012)==
===Deluxe Class===
[[Image:Primetoy-VehiconRevealers.jpg|thumb|200px|The Vehicon, a Wave 3 Deluxe Class figure]]
The Deluxe size class gains a dynamic "head reveal" gimmick that has become the universal feature of the figures, whether they be spring-loaded, gear-operated, or simply strategically revealed at the right time by folding down the right panel. Internally, these figures were referred to by Hasbro as "Revealers" due to this gimmick, but the official name remains "Deluxe Class".

===Voyager Class===
[[Image:Primetoy-UltraMagnusVoyager.jpg|thumb|200px|Ultra Magnus, a Wave 4 Voyager Class figure]]
The Voyager class figures acquire a universal gimmick shared in the form of a spring-loaded [[MechTech]]-style transforming weapon partially constructed from translucent plastic, which also features an LED that moves into place and is activated when the weapon is deployed. The figures themselves also feature translucent plastic in various spots throughout their bodies, so that when the weapon is in place and deployed, the moving LED creates the idea of energon power "flowing" from the character's bodies into their weapons. Internally, these figures were referred to by Hasbro as "Powerizers" due to this gimmick, but the official name remains "Voyager Class".
