==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* As a tie-in with ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'', the book (unsurprisingly) draws quite heavily from the characters, concepts, and mythology laid down the film—profiles include [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]], the various members of the [[High Guard]], [[cogless]] energon miners, and soforth. Presumably in order to avoid conflict with any potential future media, certain profiles and names are marked as "non-canon"—in the case of character profiles, those that describe the characters' proficiency in battle or include alt-mode rules are marked as non-canon, while those that only describe the Bot characters in the context of being energon miners are unmarked. (However, see "Errors", below.)
* As in the film, but ''unlike'' in most other modern media (including ''Transformers One'' tie-in media), the term "Transformer" is used exclusively to refer to Cybertronians with the ability to transform; "T-cog" is also explicitly noted to be short for "transformation cog". Cybertronians unable to transform are instead referred to as "Bots".
* The last chapter of the book shifts to a more multiversal focus, speaking broadly about the origins of the Thirteen, their exploits, and the history of the Cybertronian race across multiple continuities. To this end, the book includes profiles for seventeen Primes, and notes that what's true in one universe may not be true in another.

===Transformers references===
* Sentinel Prime's sword is referred to as the "[[Primax Blade]]", co-opting the name from [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|''Dark of the Moon'' Sentinel Prime]]'s weapon of choice.
* The [[Reticulated Sprotchet]], a doohickey from the [[Sticker Adventures]] book "[[Battle on the Junk Planet]]", is name-dropped as one of the many pieces of mining equipment in the book.
* The description of the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]] incorporates a few other characters and religions from [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW's "Phase 2"]] comics—these include [[Cyclonus (One)|Cyclonus]] of the [[Clavis Aurea]], [[Pyra Magna (One)|Pyra Magna]] of the [[Torchbearer]]s, and [[Windblade (One)|Windblade]] of the [[Cityspeaker|City Speaker]]s {{sic}}, all marked as "non-canon".
* [[Xaaron (One)|Emirate Xaaron]], another non-canon character, is mentioned as an example of a politician who might be found in [[Iacon Tower]].
* In addition to the standard "Covenant Thirteen" — [[Prima]], [[Vector Prime|Vector]], [[Alpha Trion]], [[Solus Prime|Solus]], [[Micronus Prime|Micronus]], [[Maccadam|Alchemist]], [[Nexus Prime|Nexus]], [[Onyx Prime|Onyx]], [[Amalgamous Prime|Amalgamous]], [[Quintus Prime|Quintus]], [[Liege Maximo]], [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], and [[Thirteenth Prime]]—''Transformers One Sourcebook'' also includes a number of minor figures as potential candidates for a Thirteen roster. Three of these characters—[[Logos Prime]], [[Last Autobot|Autonomous Maximus]], and [[Mortilus]]—had previously been tied to the Thirteen through [[Fun Publications]]' "[[Ask Vector Prime]]" column, written before Hasbro began aggressively marketing its "Covenant Thirteen" interpretation. [[Zeta Prime (One)|Zeta Prime]], of course, originated in ''Transformers One''.
* Notably, three of the Thirteen are deliberately conflated with members of the [[Guiding Hand]] from IDW Publishing's 2005 comic continuity; "Ask Vector Prime" had previously done this for the first two Primes below, and the third one continues that extrapolation.
** Amalgamous Prime's profile deliberately conflates him and the Guiding Hand's [[Adaptus]], who served a similar function in Cybertronian mythology as the "first Transformer." The blurb describes him as the "Grand Architect" of the Thirteen, and suggests that his disruptive nature may have led him to deliberately initiate the [[God War]], all feats lifted from Adaptus's appearance in ''[[The Transformers: Lost Light|Lost Light]].
** Similarly, Alpha Trion's profile notes that he is sometimes known as [[Solomus]], another member of the Guiding Hand, and sometimes worshipped under the title of Arrius, based on half-remembered accounts of the "true" Solomus in [[Origin Myths|''Optimus Prime'' #10]].
** Logos Prime's profile incorporates a simplified version of his backstory from "Ask Vector Prime", noting that he was driven to madness after encountering a "[[Hytherion|creature beyond all understanding]]". Like several other profiles, Logos Prime's profile deliberately merges him with [[Epistemus]], ''More than Meets the Eye'''s god of knowledge, and gives him the omniscient Magnificence as one of his relics.
* The Arisen wields the [[Scepter of Sparks]], an accessory that debuted with ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#SDCC2018|Optimal Optimus]].
* Autonomous Maximus wields a [[Viewtrex Staff]], a [[Viewtrex|piece of equipment]] that originated in the ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]". The book suggests that he sometimes manifests as a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] and could be revealed to be the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' or ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', a nod to the [[Ark (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' Ark toy]], which was modeled after the Last Autobot.
* Mortilus wields the [[Dark Spark]], the plot device of the [[Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Dark Spark video game]], and the [[Void Scepter]], the Fallen's weapon of choice in [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]], and which had already been associated with Mortilus in IDW's first continuity. It also states he was sometimes known as "Zarak Maximus", the name ''Ask Vector Prime'' gave to the unnamed giant Decepticon soldier from the Generation 1 Micromaster transports commercial, who was later made their own distinct character in IDW's second Transformers continuity. AVP had already jokingly suggested a connection between Zarak, the usual Headmaster partner of Scorponok, and Mortilus, and this sourcebook runs with that.
* As with ''The Enigma of Combination'', Nexus Prime's profile notes that he was originally known as "Nexus Maximus", a working name for the character that was hastily changed after an infamous mix-up.
* While Zeta Prime featured as one of the Primes in ''Transformers One'', his profile here draws heavily from his [[Zeta Prime (G1)|"Generation 1" counterpart]], ascribing him the [[vamparc ribbon]]s used by his IDW counterpart while also describing him as an ambitious commander with a penchant for nation-building.
* Onyx Prime's name is given as "Onyx Prime (Primal)", alluding to the [[Onyx Primal|convention-exclusive Maximal]] (or Predacon?) whose name Onyx Prime's evokes.
* Prima is said to wield both the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], as is traditional, and the [[Skyboom Shield (Prima)|Skyboom Shield]]—a new addition named, similar to the Star Saber and the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]], after one of the [[Skyboom (Armada)|legendary Mini-Con weapons]] from ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Transformers: Armada]]''.
* The "Origins" section lays out a number of proposed backgrounds for the Cybertronian race. In addition to the well-known explanations—[[Primus]], the [[Quintesson]]s, and the [[AllSpark]]—the book also alludes to Cybertron's organic past from ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'', and makes a veiled allusion to the ending of [[Tom Scioli]]'s ''[[Go-Bots (comic)|Go-Bots]]'', describing a universe where mechanical lifeforms seeded the multiverse with mechanical worlds after evolving on Earth.
* "New and Expanded Transformers Groups" outlines a number of alternate conflicts for players who want to look beyond the traditional [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war, highlighting various subgroups and factions from across the ''Transformers'' multiverse. These include the [[Destructon]]s from ''[[Transformers in 3-D]]'', the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]] from ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|Generation 2]]'', the [[Functionist Council|Functionists]] from ''More than Meets the Eye'', the [[Acolyte of Unicron|Acolytes of Unicron]] from the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel comic]]... and, of course, the [[Renegade]]s from ''[[GoBots]]''. (It wouldn't be a [[Jim Sorenson]] book without a ''GoBots'' reference!)
* A paragraph describing a theoretical [[Micromaster]] and [[Mini-Con]]-themed campaign uses the term "[[Bulk]]s" to describe full-sized Transformers, a term that originated with the "[[Linkage (comic)|Linkage]]" manga.
* "Alternative Origin Stories" lays out four potential campaign settings based on notable ''Transformers'' comics: ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', ''[[The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin]]'', ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (IDW)|Shattered Glass]]'', and ''[[Transformers: Unicron|Unicron]]''.

===Real-world references===
* The [[Buzz-Boar]], an example of a [[Mechanimal|surface beast]], is named after the [[Buzz Boar|vehicle of the same name]] from [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|''G.I. Joe'']].
* Tying back to a decade-old bit of lore from Fun Publications' "[[Ask Vector Prime]]" column, ''Transformers One Sourcebook'' revisits the idea that the Thirteen visited ancient [[Earth]], inadvertently mythologizing themselves as various Greek deities. ''Transformers One Sourcebook'' reiterates this bit of lore, and invents some new identities for those Thirteen members who didn't appear in "Ask Vector Prime", which include...
** The heroic tale of the Arisen gave rise to the myth of {{w|Heracles}}.
** The tragic Logos Prime adopted the guise of {{w|Demeter}}.
** The diminutive Micronus Prime became known as {{w|Pan}}.
** The intellectual Quintus Prime adopted the identity of {{w|Janus}}.
** Zeta Prime's ambitious feats of nation-building were immortalized in the exploits of {{w|Romulus}} and {{w|Quirinus}}.
:Where "Ask Vector Prime" had Poseidon as an identity taken on by Adaptus, this book refers to both Adaptus and Poseidon as epithets of Amalgamous Prime. Unusually, the book claims that Nexus Prime was known as the Roman goddess Juno, where "Ask Vector Prime" had him known as her Greek counterpart Hera.

===Errors===
* Even allowing for the "non-canon" disclaimer, the descriptions of [[Arcee (One)|Arcee]] as a "seasoned sniper" and [[Ironhide (One)|Ironhide]] as a "rugged veteran of countless battles" ''really'' don't feel in keeping with the spirit of the film, which was very explicit about the miners lacking such opportunities in life. The profiles of Ironhide, Prowl, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are also illustrated with screencaps and stock art of their cogless forms, while the profiles—cut down from those printed in ''[[Decepticon Directive]]''—include rules for their vehicle modes.
* On page 41, Elita-1's Gear section is misspelled "Woulgear".
* On page 62, "Quintesson" is misspelled "Quientessons".
* On page 109, [[Gigantion]] is misspelled as "Gigantian".
* Zeta Prime's profile claims he has a "perchance for empire-building". You can't just say "perchance". (Presumably, a ''penchant'' for empire-building was the intention.)

{{toydesigner|[[Aaron Archer]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (Takara)}}

: Released in the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' Max-Cons, Starscream transforms into a Cybertronic jet fighter, loaded with electronic sound effects that function in both modes. Pressing down on his cockpit canopy activates a laser-pulse sound effect; his pack-in [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Swindle (Armada)#Toys|Swindle]] can also snap into place under his nosecone, and pops free with an explosion effect when the canopy is pressed down hard. Pulling back his rearmost Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]] plug activates a take-off sound effect, while holding it follows up the sound with an extended engine roar that lasts a few seconds. Placing a Mini-Con on the plug (Swindle is of course sized perfectly to fit into this small space) releases two spring-activated over-shoulder spring-loaded missile launchers, and pulling back on the port with a Mini-Con attached triggers a laser-firing noise that lasts ''just'' long enough to be too long. His robot-mode head pops up automatically during transformation by connecting his waist to his upper torso. His left wing detaches and unfolds to form a large sword for use in robot mode.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Legend of the Microns'' version of this toy uses a much brighter light gray plastic, and gold paint instead of yellow. He also has more detailed, contiguous paint applications on the wings, and a "separated" Decepticon sigil deco rather than the solid block of purple on the Hasbro version. He's also slightly [[retool]]ed: the nosecone is parallel to the rest of the jet mode, while the Hasbro version was retooled to slope downward [[for safety reasons]], making it "collapse" easier if pressed point-first into, say, your little brother.

: In the Takara ''Legend of the Microns'' line, the Hasbro [[Thundercracker (Armada)#Toys|Thundercracker]] deco (with slight alterations) was released as Starscream's powered-up form, as seen in the ''Armada'' cartoon. "Starscream Super Mode" uses more vivid blue and red plastics, has "separated" Decepticon symbols with white outlines, and has the parallel nosecone like the regular Takara Starscream.

: Similarly, his Mini-Con partner was the powered-up version of Swindle, dubbed "Spark Grid", rather than [[Zapmaster (Armada)#Toys|Zapmaster]].

: You can, of course, use your ''Armada'' Thundercracker toy as "Powerlinx Starscream" if you want. Nobody can stop you.

: ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' Starscream is a building-brick set centered around a "Trans-Skeleton", a generic core that changes from "robot" to vehicle-mode-base and back. His robot and Cybertronic fighter jet modes are built around each of these configurations. He features two missile launchers that use a "twist-block" trigger mechanism for the spring-loaded launchers. He also has a 2x2 "[[Powerlinx]]" plate that can mouth any ''BTR'' vehicle-mode Mini-Con or normal-series Mini-Con, though the grip on the latter is not very good.

: His jet-mode build as depicted in some of the stock photography differs slightly from the mode shown in the set's [[instructions]]. But as it's a building-brick set, do what you like!

: He comes with a building-brick version of [[Swindle (Armada)#Built to Rule!|Swindle]].

: This set was later released in different colors as [[Thundercracker (Armada)#Built to Rule!|Thundercracker]] and [[Zapmaster (Armada)#Built to Rule!|Zapmaster]].

: The ''Energon'' version of ''Built to Rule!'' Starscream was designed with a much more solid skeleton with larger, blockier limbs. He can be rebuilt from a Cybertronic jet fighter with pressure-launch missiles, to a robot, to basically whatever you feel like doing with the parts.

: Unfortunately, due to the slow performance of the ''Built to Rule!'' line overall, the ''Energon'' versions only had a limited, test market release initially in and around Cincinnati, Ohio. The sets later filtered out into many "Tuesday Morning" chain discount stores at drastically dropped prices.

{{toydesigner|[[Aaron Archer]] (Hasbro), [[Shogo Hasui]] (Takara)}}

: Released in "wave 1.5" of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Combat Class toys (aka Deluxes), Starscream transforms into a jet fighter loosely based upon the F/A-22 Raptor (which would later be used as the alt-mode of [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity#Earth and Ore-13|other two]] [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscreams]]), cast mostly in dark clear-green plastics to emphasize his new "energon ghost" status. The toy also features numerous spots down the right-hand side of the robot mode's front, back, shoulder and wings where Starscream appears only partially-constructed or damaged, along with asymmetrical plastic-color layouts, to further enhance the "half-formed" effect—though [[Aaron Archer]] would later remark that he felt these design cues did not come across properly.

: He comes with two very large accessories, a sword and a non-firing blaster rifle, which can combine to form a ''really'' large sword. He's also armed with two wing-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers, which can flip up over his robot-mode shoulders for his "Hyper Mode".

: Takara's "Nightscream", released in the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)#Takara Super Link toyline|Super Link]]'' product, uses light gray plastics instead of stony-blue, a lighter shade of red paint, and darker blue plastic and paint, hewing his deco closer to his original namesake's.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Skyquake (G1)#Timelines|Skyquake]] and [[Leozack#Timelines|Leozack]]. It also served as the model for the non-toy ''[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]'' incarnations of [[Hellbat (G1)#Wings Universe|Hellbat]], [[Guyhawk#Wings Universe|Guyhawk]], and [[Hooligan (G2)#Wings Universe|Hooligan]].

: This time around, his Mini-Con partner is [[Zapmaster (Armada)#Energon|Zapmaster]] rather than Swindle.

{{toydesigner|[[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

: Representing Starscream in a powered-up form following his immersion in [[Super Energon]], Hasbro's ''Energon'' Starscream (released in the eighth and final wave of ''Energon'' Combat Class toys) was redecoed into a more [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]-inspired color scheme, primarily light gray with blue and red accents. Though the sculpted "half-formed" sections remain, the figure's new paint layouts ignore them, sometimes painting directly over the top of them, which coupled with the figure's new lack of translucent plastic seems to suggest that this is a non-ghosty version of the character, though his asymmetrical arm coloration remains due to the use of [[unpaintable plastic]] needed for structural support.

: This toy was first listed in [[Walmart]] computers under the name "[[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp Interceptor]]", perhaps indicating an aborted intent for the toy.

: The Takara "Nightscream Reverse" release of the toy, released in the sixteenth wave of ''Super Link'' product, is a considerably different take on the same general deco concept. Large portions of the toy are cast in clear-blue plastics in the place of some of the solid-gray in the Hasbro version. Black plastic has been replaced with light gray, and many paint details are different. This deco was used for Starscream's powered up appearance in the ''Energon'' cartoon, if you really care to maintain show-accuracy in your collection. It also came with a fluorescent yellow version of ''Energon'' [[Insecticon (Energon)#Toys|Insecticon]]'s [[Energon weapon#Gallery|energon drill weapon]] and Decepticon-style [[Energon star|energon chip]]; the drill lacks the usual paint applications that the Insecticon toys' versions have.

: The Hasbro deco of this figure was used as a reference for the [[#Attacktix|unreleased ''Attacktix'' vehicle-mode Starscream piece]].

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (Takara)|[[Don Figueroa]] and [[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept art)}}

: Exclusive to [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Galaxy Force]]'' line, this Voyager-sized version of Starscream draws much of its influence from [[Don Figueroa]]'s design for [[Starscream (G1)|Generation 1 Starscream]] in [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', transforming into a Cybertronic starfighter. In both modes, plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into his back end flips out a spring-loaded blade from each arm. His spring-loaded missile launcher can be used as either a hand-held weapon, or mounted under his jet-mode nosecone. Another port for the weapon can be found behind the rear landing gear, allowing it to be stored horizontally in robot mode, along with a port under each forearm (though these are loose due to being molded across two parts).

: This toy was designed with a [[soundbox]] in mind (even including the requisite speaker and battery brackets when you [[:File:Starscream soundbox.jpg|crack one open]]), but the final version has no electronics. In fact, ''no'' version of this mold would have electronics either.

: Although essentially the "standard" version of ''Cybertron'' Starscream, this figure was not released in the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline, presumably so it would not interfere with the sales of the much larger (more expensive) Supreme Class Starscream toy (see below). A [[redeco]], however, would be made available later in the line (again [[#VsVector|see below]]).

: This toy was redecoed to create ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Starscream (SG)#Toys|Starscream]] and the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Dirge]]. This mold also served as the model for the non-toy [[Skywarp (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' incarnation of Skywarp]].

: Sold in the first wave of ''Cybertron'' Supreme-class toys (yes, there was more than one!), this Starscream is a colossally-upscaled version of Takara's Voyager-sized Starscream toy, with quite a few changes. The most notable is the change in his Cyber Key [[gimmick]]: each arm has a separate Key jack in it rather than the Voyager's single joint-jack. While the right arm still deploys a blade, the left arm now reveals a spring-loaded missile-firing "null laser cannon" with expanding prongs. The original back-mounted Key jack is still present, though it does not activate any gimmicks and merely serves as a Key storage space (a rarity among ''Cybertron'' toys). A second storage-only jack is found on the underside of the same assembly. The two small guns on the sides of his cockpit can swivel up to firing position in robot mode, and he also has several electronic light and sound gimmicks, including one activated by moving his sword-arm. His eyes are, for some strange reason, green.

: He comes with a Decepticon "Crown of Leadership", based on Generation 1 Starscream's crown from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' that fits over his noggin (which, together with his considerable size, has earned him the nickname "King Starscream" among fans.) He is also the only ''Cybertron'' toy to come with ''two'' Cyber Keys, a Decepticon Cybertron Key, and a gold-bordered Earth [[Cyber Planet Key]]. Both Keys have the same [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] [[tampograph]]ed on their backs. The placement of these accessories in the box varies in later releases.

: Supreme Starscream was released in the first wave of ''Cybertron'' toys, long before Starscream was transformed into a giant in the third quarter of the ''Cybertron'' cartoon. [[To sell toys|To sell]] this large, expensive figure at this early stage, a few other toys in the ''Cybertron'' line were changed—predominantly, the standard Voyager-sized Starscream figure went unreleased in Hasbro markets—well, except for the two-pack release listed below.

: Starscream [[scale]]s perfectly with the other toys in the ''Cybertron'' toyline, due to the robot mode [[Scale charts#Cybertron cartoon|scale charts]] for the cartoon being based directly on toy scale. He also scales rather well with fellow Supreme Class figure, [[Primus#Cybertron|Primus]], representing the size-altering power up he received in the episode "[[Titans]]".

: In Japan, this toy was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive as a "[[USA Edition]]", basically unchanged in US packaging with the addition of Japanese stickers.

: This mold was later redecoed to make ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Supreme Starscream]].

It retains all the gimmickry of the Takara release, and also retains the ''lack'' of electronic gimmickry.

: In Japan, the toy was sold as part of the ''very'' short-lived ''Galaxy Force'' "[[EZ Collection]]", and given more extensive [[paint operation]]s than the Hasbro version, basically faithfully re-creating the larger toys' paint layouts in this smaller format (which you can see on the clear version of the figure below).

:Part of the eighth wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' "Armada Starscream" is a modern update of the original ''Armada'' Starscream figure. He comes with two "Energon Swords" which he holds via [[5 mm post|5mm post]], and can fold up and store on his wings, as opposed to the wings themselves detaching and forming swords. He has numerous Powerlinx plugs on his forearms and turbines, though they do not activate any features. In place of his spring-loaded cannons, his turbines can each fire a missile in either mode via pressure-launch, and can be positioned in robot mode to either face forward or lay flat on his back.

:While his [[bio]] paints this toy as ''this'' Starscream, [[IDW Publishing]] [[Repurposing|repurposed]] this toy as a new body for [[Starscream (G1)/toys#ArmadaStarscream|Generation 1 Starscream]], debuting it in the [[Dark Dawn: Dark Cybertron Chapter 1|issue]] the figure comes packaged with.

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Armada Universe Starscream" is a mostly faithful recreation of his appearance from the ''Armada'' cartoon, transforming into his jet mode in 18 steps. He is prominently missing the white areas on his upper chest and lower legs, and the white he does have instead light gray paint and plastics.

: Unlike his original toy, his wing sword (called an "[[Energon]] Sword" by the official product description) is a separate, non-converting accessory. The original Hasbro promotional pictures show it fully painted red, but subsequent stock photos from Takara as well as the final product leave it unpainted. Starscream also comes with a simplified [[Star Saber (Armada)#Legacy|Star Saber]] accessory, allowing him to dual-wield swords in robot mode. Both swords store underneath his wings. Like the [[#Armada|original ''Armada'' toy]], Starscream features turbines that can double over as shoulder cannons, though this is unmentioned in the instructions. The cannons are compatible with [[Fire Blast effect]]s and can be folded down his back like his [[#Generations|''Generations'' toy]].

: Unlike his fellow "Armada Universe" ''Legacy'' toy, [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Legacy|Hot Shot]], Starscream doesn't feature any [[Mini-Con]]-compatible [[Powerlinx]] ports.

:Due to a design flaw, on many copies Starscream's thighs are a bit on the loose side and fall off easily when attempting to rotate them. It's also a bit difficult to peg him into his alternate mode.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy United]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Cybertron Universe Starscream" is an updated version of his appearance from the ''Cybertron'' cartoon, featuring a greater range of articulation and a deco based on his show model. He transforms into a cartoon-accurate jet in 26 steps. His butterfly joints, inner shoulders, biceps, and wrists are reused from [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|''Siege'' Starscream]].<ref name = "United Stream"/> His shoulder pads can be hinged out of the way for more shoulder articulation.

: Unlike other contemporary ''Cybertron'' figures from the ''Legacy'' line, such as [[Override (Cybertron)#Legacy|Override]] and [[Metroplex (Cybertron)#Legacy|Metroplex]], he comes with a [[Cyber Key]] that can be fitted into a slot on his back or in the back of his blaster, though it does not activate any [[gimmick]]. This Cyber Key is ''much'' smaller than the original, and thus isn't backwards compatible. His flip-out "Vertex blades" are now manually flipped out instead of being spring-loaded. His blaster is based on an unused design from his original character sheet.<ref>https://www.tfraw.com/p/galaxy-force-design-sheets.html</ref> The blaster can be stored on the back of his robot mode and the bottom or top of his jet mode.

: His wing null cannons and tail fins are removable and can be placed onto other 5mm ports on his body. He features [[Fire Blast effect]] pegs on his blaster, wing cannons, and non-rotating torso cannons.

:If one wants to make a Super Starscream with the crown from the ''Studio Series 86'' [[Starscream_(G1)/toys#Studio_Series|Coronation Starscream]], take note that the accessory ''very loosely'' fits onto Cybertron Starscream's head.

: Part of the McDonald's ''Armada'' promotion, this version of Starscream is based on his larger toy and features a pull-back motor gimmick that propels his jet-mode forward, then leaps up to instantly convert to robot mode, like the [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Jumpstarter]]s.

:In jet mode, he has ''two'' Mini-Con ports molded into his underside which allows him to combine with the other three Happy Meal Decepticons to form a goofy-looking [[Mighty Vehicle]]. The ports can also be used to access Mini-Con gimmicks on mainline ''Armada'' toys, but given his size and weight, it would be an awkward fit on most figures.

:A three-inch tall non-transforming PVC figurine of Starscream was released in the ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]''-specific ninth "Act" of Takara's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. The figure came in both full color and metallic silver "pewter" variants, available at an equal ratio one each in every case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: Care may need to be taken with the pewter variant when moving "joints" or popping parts off the main body. It is distressingly common for pewter SCF figures to have the connection pegs painted as well, which can lead to sticking and tearing of the soft-plastic pegs keeping the figure together. A little shaving of the socket interiors with a thin hobby knife is usually enough to solve this, once the peg has been removed.

Like other toys in the line, he came with a few extra pieces, like a separate wing-sword, and a mini-PVC of his [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Swindle (Armada)|Swindle]]. The miracle of universal pegs also allows him to wield weapons belonging to other ''Mega SCF'' figures, most characteristically appropriate being the Star Saber that came with Optimus Prime.

:''Cliffjumper is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie continuity family]].''

[[File:SS BB Cliffjumper.jpg|thumb|375px|"At least I'll get to live longer than the [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|other Cliffjumper]]... right?"]]
Surly, impatient, loud, and brash, '''Cliffjumper''' is the kind of Autobot lieutenant who shoots first and asks questions much, ''much'' later. He has the rare talent of both inspiring and infuriating his superiors in the same blow. He always completes his missions, yet the only intelligence he is patient enough to gather is "[[Decepticon]]s were here, and now they are dead." Despite his surly and impetuous nature, however, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] seems to like him. He is short in stature much like 'Bee, but that never gets in the way of him provoking his enemies and taking the first shot in battle.<ref>''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'' trade paperback bonus material</ref>

[[File:TF-BB-Cliffjumper-loses-an-arm.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"Come on, you two! I need my audition!"]]
Cliffjumper was among the Autobots fending off a wave of Decepticon forces led by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and was eventually ordered to retreat by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Tasked with finding other Autobots scattered throughout the galaxy and rendezvous on [[Earth]], they left Cybertron in various escape pods.

Some time later in [[1987]], the Decepticon hunters [[Shatter]] and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] tracked him to one of [[Saturn]]'s moons, and tortured him to learn Prime's whereabouts. Though Cliffjumper refused to betray the Autobots, the two Decepticons managed to pick up [[Bumblebee (Movie)|B-127]]'s signal from nearby Earth. The pair decided to go after B-127 instead... but not before Shatter had Dropkick fatally bisect Cliffjumper as an "honorable death". {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Defiance1 Cliffjumper Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Ya-ya know? I like you Bumblebee. I think you are alright" *hic*]]

Many, many years ago, Cliffjumper and his look-alike [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] guarded the [[AllSpark]] at [[Simfur]] from nothing in particular. Cliffjumper tried to get his bored friend to calm down when the yellow guy got anxious from just sitting around. Cliffjumper pointed out that, even though they were [[Defense Force]] material, they'd be just as bored in the Defense Force, just doing patrols. If anything, they should relax and let the action come to them.

Cliffjumper rather regretted his words, as [[Ejoornian|hostile aliens]] attacked Cybertron, and the pair were quickly pinned down under heavy fire. Relief finally came in the form of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], who quickly [[Slag (slang)|slagged]] several of the attacking craft. Megatron proceeded to berate the two Autobots for not doing a better job and not taking the fight to the enemy, but received a bad wound from the attackers. When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived, Megatron told him to keep [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]'s team out of their way. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the battle, a panicky Bumblebee knew something ''big'' was coming, though Cliffjumper thought that they wouldn't have anything to do with it anyway, as they're only supposed to stand guard at the [[Simfur Temple|temple]]. [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] came to investigate the attack on the temple, and Cliffjumper reported that they didn't notice any unusual activity from the AllSpark during the battle. Later, presumably all the security personnel were present at the meeting where Optimus asked them not to follow Megatron into war. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream3 Cliffjumper.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|left|"...But if we wind up in Carbombya, I quit."]]
After Megatron discovered that Optimus, Prowl and Jazz had been snooping about in his quarters, he sent Cliffjumper and Bumblebee along with other expendable security officers under Prowl's command to arrest Optimus on trumped-up charges of treason. What the officers didn't know was they were all marked for death, and on the trip to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], the group was attacked by soldiers loyal to Megatron. The group managed to escape to [[Burthov]] while Optimus stayed behind long enough to defeat the would-be assassins. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

In the wastes of Burthov, Cliffjumper got the drop on the disenfranchised soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who had quit Megatron's army in disgust. A brief standoff ensued where Ironhide was confident that his abundant weaponry would ensure Cliffjumper would not harm him, but the younger 'bot noted the cannons were all Ironhide had, and suddenly, his confederates sprung out of the ground to surround the old soldier. Ironhide wasn't in the mood to fight anyway, so the rebels took him to see Optimus '''Prime'''. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} Cliffjumper was in a crowd of Autobots waiting for Optimus Prime's orders after the Decepticons launched the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' into space. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Sometime later, with the war reaching its peak, Optimus Prime made the decision to capture the AllSpark and launch it into deep space, hopefully sparing Cybertron further devastation and giving his Autobots the breathing room they required. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Cliffjumper participated in a mission to steal [[energon]] from the now Decepticon-controlled Trypticon. His team was ambushed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]'s troops, and though Cliffjumper himself was shot in the chest by Shockwave, he lived to retreat and regroup. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream3 Cliffjumper hyah.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hyoh!]]

After the death of Megatron and the destruction of the AllSpark, Cliffjumper was part of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] under the command of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. Together with his teammates, he attacked the Starscream's landed Decepticon starship. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} Cliffjumper and the others made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones that the Decepticons sent against them, but were unprepared for [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]'s sonic weaponry. Cliffjumper and [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] attempted to provide cover for [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]] to evacuate the fallen [[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]], but Thundercracker killed Camshaft and wounded Cliffjumper. Saved from certain doom by Arcee, Cliffjumper turned the tides on the Decepticon, only to be shot in the back by Starscream. Arcee attempted to evacuate her wounded comrade, but was struck down by Starscream instead, leaving Cliffjumper's future looking grim. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} However, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] only found corpses to two dead Autobots belonging to Air Raid and Camshaft, so Cliffjumper may have gotten better! {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

===Toy bios===

The Autobots depend on the brazen Cliffjumper to make the more collected of their enemies so angry that they mess up their own plans. At one point, Cliffjumper targeted [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], who—while physically Cliffjumper's equal or better—became extremely annoyed by the fact he could not match Cliffjumper's skill at insults. {{storylink|#Allspark2pack|Cliffjumper Vs Recon Barricade}}

If [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]] and Cliffjumper weren't on opposite sides, they would get along swimmingly—because they're both dysfunctional jerks. As it happens, the extent of their interpersonal relationship involves Dead End trying to creep the short-tempered Cliffjumper out, which typically ends with Dead End getting punched in the face. {{storylink|#Titanium Series|Cliffjumper and Dead End}}

:As part of the ''[[AllSpark Power]]'' refresh of the movie toyline, Cliffjumper is once again a red and silver Bumblebee redeco, this time of the Deluxe Camaro Concept Bumblebee toy and, naturally, transforms into the {{w|Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro}}. He features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into [[robot mode]] position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action.

:Cliffjumper comes with a plasma cannon that he can hold in either hand. For added play value, the cannon can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. Care should be taken while transforming the front clear window piece: At least one of the protruding panels can snap off if not done carefully.

:Contrary to popular opinion, the red pieces on the back of Cliffjumper's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, and they have ''not'' been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design for Bumblebee. Both the stock and prototype photos had the chest hood blocks mistransformed in robot mode. In comparison to the final product, the painted prototype also features additional light blue paint on the ([[Unpaintable plastic|unpaintable]]) thighs and lower knees, and black paint on the toes.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cliffjumper''' (Speed Series, [[2018]])}}</ul>
:Speed Series Cliffjumper is a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Energon Igniters|Bumblebee]], transforming from robot into a licensed classic Volkswagen Beetle in just a few steps, and he features 3 mm compatible hands. Cliffjumper can also be attached to the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly. As the port is 5 mm compatible, Cliffjumper can mount other weapons with the same post size, making him an efficient weapon-towing vehicle. Due to being used for transformation, he features a pair of well-articulated legs, as long you don't mind the Energon Igniters port sticking out from his left knee. As with Bumblebee, Cliffjumper doesn't have any Autobot insignias tampographed or sculpted on.

:As a redeco, Cliffjumper's toy is inaccurate to his brief appearance in the movie, and instead continues the legacy from the toys above. Cliffjumper uses the amended front window panel, allowing it to click freely without any problems.

:Rather than an official announcement, Cliffjumper was included (in vehicle mode only) in two photos posted by Hasbro on their official Twitter account in early December 2018 that showcased a variety of toys related to the ''Bumblebee'' film (the same photos also revealed the existence of Nitro Series [[Blitzwing (BB)#Nitro|Blitzwing]] and [[Dropkick (Movie)#Nitro|Dropkick]]). He was found at retail in Australia a few weeks later, followed shortly afterwards by Germany and then the United States. Hasbro finally "acknowledged" the existence of the figure by displaying him at [[Toy Fair 2019|New York Toy Fair 2019]] in February, while official stock photos weren't released until early April 2019.

:Part of the tenth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Cliffjumper is an extensive [[retool]] of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS57|Offroad Bumblebee]] from the same line, using the same arms, outer thighs, pelvis, and internal structures. In particular, Cliffjumper still has the molded hinge on the crotch that Bumblebee has, but without anything attached to it, with the [[flight stand]] post moved to his backpack. The reused arms also mean he can use the blade originally included with ''Studio Series'' 18 [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#SS18|Bumblebee]]. Cliffjumper transforms into a red version of Bumblebee's Cybertronian car mode as seen in ''Bumblebee''. He comes with a redeco of Offroad Bumblebee's gun (as opposed to the gun he used in the film based on the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]]) and a cardboard backdrop display depicting a war-torn Cybertron as it appears at the beginning of the film.

:Cliffjumper's Japanese wave-mate, [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]] was planned to be released in Japan on [[August 29]], 2020, but was pushed up to the first of that same month for unknown reasons. Cliffjumper himself was released during the planned original release date of the 29th.

:*''Card number'': '''2'''
:Cliffjumper is a 31-point "Common" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his car mode (resembling a BMW Z4) or into a rather stumpy robot mode. One of his blaster-weapons is held in his right hand, the other can mount on either shoulder.

:He uses the same construction as the [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]] cards. This style is similar to the one used by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], [[Earth]]-mode [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and [[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]].

:Amusingly enough, Cliffjumper's 3D card [[robot mode]] is clearly designed after ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]], though with a few movie-aesthetic concessions thrown in, mostly in the look of the feet. It's ''exceedingly'' likely the names of the two cards got mixed up, as card-game Swerve bears more than a passing resemblance to Bumblebee (and by extension, ''every other version'' of movie Cliffjumper).

:His card art was done by [[Lucio Parrillo]].

==Notes==
[[File:MovieCGCliffjumper.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|One bee, two bee, red bee, blue bee.]]
*An early [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] test animatic (first seen in Circuit City-exclusive web content, later in the "bonus" section of the official movie website) of Bumblebee in battle had 'Bee facing off against [[Bumblebee clone|a red doppelganger]]. Hmmmm.
*With three toys, a [[Titanium Series|Titanium]] figurine, a [[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]] figurine, and a Battle-Card, Cliffjumper has '''by far''' the most merchandise for a ''Transformers'' movie character not actually appearing IN the film. However, the increased popularity of Bumblebee prevented any further Cliffjumper redecos of Bumblebee toys from the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' lines (with the exception of the ''Titanium'' figure), leading instead to a slew of increasingly insane same-character-in-slightly-varied-colors redecos of Bumblebee. Cliffjumper would eventually make his return to the movieverse in ''Bumblebee'', with more toys redecoed from Bumblebee until the ''Studio Series'' figure.
*Furthermore, between his various toys, he shares two different Camaro [[alternate mode]]s with Bumblebee. Is this supposed to imply that in a toy-only [[micro-continuity]], he undergoes ''exactly'' the same upgrade from a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro into a modern Camaro concept vehicle?
*Unlike the other Autobots who were clearly shown to have been killed in ''The Reign of Starscream'' #3, Cliffjumper's status was ambiguous in the actual fiction. [[Chris Mowry]] claimed that Cliffjumper survived,<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage168039 Post by Chris Mowry on the TFW2005 boards]</ref> and [[John Barber]] sneakily alluded to it years later for ''Convergence''.
*Cover A of [[The Reign of Starscream issue 5]] by [[Alex Milne]] depicts Cliffjumper among the Autobots in an Earth mode body based on his 2007 Deluxe Class toy, despite the fact (A) he has not made it to Earth and (B) does not even appear in this issue.
*Sticking to the trend, Cliffjumper's design in ''Bumblebee'' is a repaint of Bumblebee's Cybertronian body with a head based off [[Cliffjumper (G1)|his own Generation 1 namesake]]. According to [[Travis Knight]], Cliffjumper's death was included in ''Bumblebee'' because his similarities to Bumblebee would set the stakes of the story: "You have to understand that if [Shatter and Dropkick] encounter [Bumblebee], things are not going to end well."<ref>[https://uproxx.com/hitfix/travis-knight-interview-bumblebee/ Travis Knight ''UPROXX'' interview]</ref>

:''Apelinq is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]] portion of the [[Movie continuity family]].''

[[File:ROTB-Apelinq.jpg|thumb|300px|"Apes, together....strong."]]

'''Apelinq''' was the Maximal leader before [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]]. A just, reasonable leader, Apelinq was more than aware of the "needs of the many", perfectly willing to lay down his life — and even that of his own ''planet'' — if it meant helping the many. Just because he was willing to lose the battle for the sake of the war, however, didn't mean he wouldn't or couldn't wage the war: he was still a big gorilla who wielded arm blades in battle, having earned a reputation as the legendary defender of his planet known across the cosmos. He had long eyed Primal as his potential successor, and the arrival of [[Unicron]] proved to be the impetus for the younger Maximal to embrace his destiny...and continue his journey without his former leader.

[[File:ApelinqVsScourge.jpg|thumb|300px|left|One Nation under Grodd!]]
Apelinq was the leader of the Maximals on [[Jungle Planet (colony)|their homeworld]]—until [[Unicron]] showed up. In addition to wanting to consume their planet, Unicron also wanted the [[Transwarp Key]] that the Maximals had been guarding. After a close encounter with two [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Scorponok (ROTB)|Scorponok]] drones, Apelinq entrusted it to [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]] to prevent it from falling into the hands of the [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcons]] and named him the new leader of the Maximals. Apelinq instructed Primal to flee with the Transwarp Key and remained behind to stall [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]]. The Terrorcon leader offered Apelinq the chance for Unicron to spare his planet if he surrendered the key, but Apelinq refused to allow Unicron the chance to continue on his rampage. Scourge made quick work of him, stabbing him and blasting a hole through his torso, but Apelinq taunted his killer with his last breaths that Unicron would never get the Transwarp Key and would be trapped in their galaxy forever. His body was presumably consumed when the Maximal homeworld was subsequently devoured by Unicron. As the fleeing Maximals watched their homeworld be destroyed, [[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]] affirmed to her comrades that Apelinq's sacrifice would become their oath - that they would protect the key he gave his life for, no matter the cost. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}

:''Flysailor is a [[Laser Beast]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:BF-art FlysailorCard.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Pretty fly for a wet guy.]]

'''Flysailor''' (フライセイラー ''Furaiseirā'') is an oddity among the Laser Beasts. Where most of his allies are cold and calculating, Flysailor is a free-spirited, flighty type. Cheerful and optimistic, he flits through life and is known for getting even the most stoic of his comrades to crack the occasional smile. He's also a very unconventional thinker, coming up with wild ideas other Laser Beasts would not even begin to contemplate.

But it would be a grave mistake to think he's not a dangerous opponent. He's as committed to the Laser Beast army as anyone, and puts his considerable skill to use in furthering their goals. He's incredibly mobile in water, moving with blinding speed and making unpredictable, seemingly-random rapid movements to confuse and overwhelm his foes. And true to his animal-type, he's capable of making high leaps to attack from any angle. His Sea Freeze Laser (シーフリーズレーザー ''Shī Furīzu Rēzā'') [[MVP Weapon]] can encase targets in a -80 Celsius block of ice, leaving them easy prey for a followup attack.

'''Xbox''' is {{w|Microsoft}}'s gaming brand, and the name of their line of video game consoles. The original Xbox was released in [[2001]], and while selling decent number, it lagged substantially behind its main competitor the [[PlayStation]] 2, probably because no ''Transformers'' games were ever released for it. Much more successful, however, was the '''Xbox 360''', which launched in [[2005]] and was an overwhelming success, thanks to a strong game lineup and revolutionizing online console gaming with Xbox Live, becoming the highest-selling American-made console of all time. In [[2013]], Microsoft launched the '''Xbox One''', but it initially struggled due to poor messaging and controversial decisions related to digital rights management and a shift towards general entertainment over video games, forcing them to spend most of the console generation clawing their way back to modest profit. The latest system is [[2020]]'s '''Xbox Series X''' (and its lower-end variant the '''Xbox Series S'''), which has done decently well thanks to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service <s>at the cost of a bunch of studios getting unceremoniously shut down to help pay for other acquisitions</s> whoa what who said that?

First party studios under the Xbox brand include [[Activision]], [[Blizzard Entertainment]], and [[Mojang Studios]].

*At the 2015 [[San Diego Comic-Con]], Microsoft held a sweepstakes to win one of 20 custom-painted Xbox One consoles with designs based on several upcoming games, including one based on ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''.<ref>[https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2015/07/02/xbox-sdcc-collectible-xbox-one-console-sweepstakes/ Win one of 20 Custom Painted Xbox Ones at SDCC 2015 - Xbox]</ref>

*While a small handful of Transformers games from the [[Activision]] era onwards have been localized for release in [[Japan]], absolutely ''none'' of their Xbox versions have made the jump due to Microsoft's consoles having always sold significantly worse than their competition in the Japanese market.

'''B-127''' works in waste management in the lower levels of Iacon, and has done so for a long time. So long, in fact, that he hasn't spoken to anyone else in a while, and the isolation's kind of getting to him—he's built himself a group of imaginary friends to keep him company, and he talks way, ''way'' too much to fill the silence. Even when he's unconscious. ''Especially'' when he's unconscious.

His name is kind of clunky, so he's been trying out a few nicknames, like '''Badassatron''';<ref>Which is actually pronounced '''''BADASSATRONNN'''''.</ref> for the most part, people just call him '''B'''.

Maybe he'll [[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|figure out something better]] eventually.

:Released as a [[Walmart]] exclusive in the United States and a few other select retailers across different regions, Energon Glow Bumblebee is an approximately Deluxe-sized toy, albeit slightly larger than his below Prime Changers version. He also features simpler engineering, with a big portion of the toy's budget being instead dedicated to a light-up chest gimmick activated by pressing his stomach. His arm blade and blaster can be used on either arm and combined to store on his robot back/vehicle roof.

:His paintjob is noticeably more gold-leaning (and in turn, more screen-accurate) than most other Bumblebees in the ''Transformers One'' mainline. Keeping in line with the "Energon Glow" theme of the figure, his wheels, lower arms, and car roof are all molded in transparent blue plastic.

:*''Accessories'': sword, blaster, chest cover
:Released as part of the Prime Changers line, Bumblebee transforms from a robot to Cybertronian sports car in 15 steps. His chest plate can be removed to reveal a non-removable transformation cog. The blaster only attaches to his left hand, and the arm blade only to right unless combined with the blaster. The combined form is used to store the accessories on his robot back and vehicle roof, though they can also be attached individually if you want one equipped but not the other. Due to his particular conversion scheme, he can replicate the "car with arms" form he took while attempting to transform for the first time. He has a 3mm flight stand port on his backside, only accessible in robot mode.

:His dark gunmetal, bright silver, and slate blue paint applications use glittery paint, while his plastic is pearlescent.

:While he appears to have a design flaw preventing his ankle tilts from working, this appears to actually be intentional. The tilt is necessary to lock his feet into position in vehicle mode, but due to the squared off socket for the joint pin, the feet become mostly locked in place in robot mode.

:Bee is the odd man out of the Prime Changers, being the only one who isn't roughly in [[scale]] with the rest. While having roughly the same mass as the other figures, his head, feet, and legs are about half again as big due to him basically being stretched to match their size.

==Notes==
* Of all the main cast of ''Transformers One'', Bumblebee has the greatest connection to his [[live-action film series]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)|counterpart]]: his name being given as "B-127" is taken from ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', and his helmet design (with its large "cheeks" and movable "antennae") bears resemblance to his appearance in that film; additionally, his overly-talkative nature is a meta-gag about his "future" self being best known for not being able to speak. Conversely, his battle mask resembles his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart's]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#The Transformers|original toy]].
*Despite the name being an alias used on most promotional material and toys, ''Bumblebee'' is never referred to as such in the film itself, presumably to avoid confusing audiences who [[Bumblebee (film)|already saw him receive that name on-screen]].

==Notes==
===Transformers references===
* The book opens with a transcribed lecture from [[Termagax]], the iconoclastic founder of the [[Decepticon]] movement from [[Transformers (2019 comic)|IDW's rebooted ''Transformers'' comic]]. The text notes that she's giving this lecture at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]]; like in the IDW comics, she's evidently on civil terms with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the Autobots. She mentions mentoring the original six Constructicons many millennia ago, in reference to the "Constructicons Rising" arc of ''[[Transformers: Galaxies]]''.
* Attendees include [[Neo-Wheel]]—who flags up the existence of smaller combiners like [[Bumble]], certain [[Mini-Cassette|Recordicon]]s, [[Cog (G1)|Cog]], and his own [[Sixturbo|Turbo Team]]—[[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]], who alludes to the existence of "[[double Targetmaster]]s" like himself, a Generation 1 incarnation of the [[Rescue Bot]] [[Boulder (RB)|Boulder]], and a [[human]] named [[General Blaze]], who originated in a [[The Transformers: The Movie (first draft)|very early draft]] of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
* In her lecture, Termagax flags up [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] as an example of a combiner team with multiple members—these substitute Constructicons include [[Gravedigger]], who originated in the ''[[Find Your Fate Junior]]'' books, [[Hightower (Classics)|Hightower]], from ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'', and [[Buckethead]] and [[Sledge (Classics)|Sledge]] from ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]''. She also mentions situations where Autobots have become part of the team; in addition to namedropping the ''Uprising'' roster of [[Wideload (G1)|Wideload]], [[Hauler]], and [[Quickmix (G1)|Quickmix]], she also mentions [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], who filled in for the deceased [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] in the [[2005 IDW continuity]].
* While discussing unusual combiners, Termagax mentions the inhabitants of the planet [[Devisiun (planet)|Devisiun]], who debuted in ''[[The Transformers: Windblade|Windblade]]'', and the [[Multiforce]] of [[Victory (planet)|Planet V]], using the name of the planet as it appeared in the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (manga)|''Victory'' manga]] and ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]''.
* While discussing [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s, Termagax notes that they are sometimes referred to as "Titanmasters", and that the [[Binary bonding|binary bond]] symbiosis can unlock all kinds of unusual superpowers, as was the case in the 2016 ''[[Titans Return (franchise)|Titans Return]]'' franchise.
* Termagax explains that [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]s are more powerful than ordinary guns because they directly harness the [[spark]] energy of their larger partner, an idea that originated in the ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' story "[[Trigger Warnings]]".
* Other forms of combination alluded to, but not directly named, include [[Breast Animal|mechanimals who become armored chestplates]] or [[Action Master partner|helmets]], [[Brainmaster|full-sized robots capable of downloading themselves into a smaller unit]], [[Transtector|non-sentient robot bodies controlled by a single Headmaster]], and "[[mitotic spark]]s".
* Termagax alludes to an old rival who pushed the idea of "efficiency through self-sufficiency". This was the bio quote given to [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]]'s [[Sideways (RID)#Robots in Disguise (2001)|''Robots in Disguise'' toy]]; Termagax mentions that he's since become a Headmaster, alluding to the more famous [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] from ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]''.
* Excerpts lifted from [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]'s personal files feature mention of [[Needler (G1)|Needler]], Bombshell's [[Action Master partner]]. In these files, Bombshell ponders on the origins of combination technology; he notes that while some attribute its development to the [[Guardian Knight|Knights of Iacon]] or the [[Thirteen]], he believes that the first gestalt must have predated the universe itself, a "truly monstrous devil". His musings are evocative of [[Devil Z]], big bad of the ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' anime, who sought to create the perfect fusion between humans and Transformers.
* An article written by [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] is noted to have been published in "Alt2day", a reference to the in-universe "[[ALTernity Today]]" newspaper from the ''AllSpark Almanac'' duology, which had an unofficial online edition hosted at [https://web.archive.org/web/20100716203345/http://alt2day.dyndns.org:80/index.html Alt2Day.com]. In it, Brainstorm investigates the existence of "ancient partnerships" analogous to the modern Headmaster process, and highlights the [[Battle of Aegiax]] as one such example: in IDW's ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comic, this was where [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] battled ancient Headmasters like [[Myskrion]]. The article also flags up "anomalies" in "G Nebula 88", in a seeming reference to the combining heroes and villains of ''Masterforce''... (but see "Errors" for more on that).
* A profile written from [[Vorath]]'s point of view namedrops [[Murk]] and [[Chasm]]; while these were originally robotic [[Titan Master]]s from the ''Titans Return'' line, they've been reimagined as organic [[Nebulan]]s who work for the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]].
* Vorath's narration connects the Enigma of Combination to [[Nexus Prime]], as is common for most interpretations of the relic. He notes, however, that some texts refer to him as "Nexus Maximus", his working name before it was changed for legal reasons.
* In his journal, Vorath contemplates the existence of various potential combiners; he is excited at the prospect of Mindwipe merging into a combiner called "[[Galvatronus (CW)|Galvatronus]]", as was the case in the [[2005 IDW continuity]]; on the other hand, he worries that a Dinobot combiner could be an [[Beast (G1)|uncontrollable beast]], or what might happen if the Autobots pooled their best and brightest into an unstoppable "[[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]" configuration.
* Narration from [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]]'s point of view notes that he was locked away in a [[photonic crystal|photonic containment vessel]] during Devastator's first-ever deployment, evoking the epsode "[[Starscream's Brigade]]". He gloats that the Autobots were forced to rely on their [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s to hold the line—in addition to the well-known [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], he also namedrops [[Rails]], another character who originated in the aborted first draft of ''The Movie''. Other combiner teams alluded to include [[Landfill (RID)|Build King]] and the [[Dinoforce]].
* A letter from [[Hi-Q]] to [[Kari]] mentions the planets of [[Master (planet)|Dominus]], [[Gorlam Prime]], and [[Planet X (Animated)|Planet X]]; as well as fellow Nebulans [[Flintlock]], [[Galen]], [[Leinad]], [[Recoil (G1)|Recoil]], and [[Llyra]].

===Trivia===
* This is the first ''Transformers Roleplaying Game'' sourcebook to have writing by [[Jim Sorenson]], which goes some way to explaining the sheer density of deep-cut lore drops in the first chapter—particularly those referencing the [[The Transformers: The Movie (first draft)|first draft of ''The Transformers: The Movie'']], which Sorenson had a hand in uncovering.

===Errors===
* Vorath's journal alludes to anomalies in "G-Nebula 88". Assuming that this is meant to be a ''Masterforce'' reference, that should be "[[G Nebula 89|G-Nebula '''89''']]".
*In the Roles section of the book, a picture of [[Breacher (TF 2010)|Breacher]] is misidentified as [[Pyra Magna]], while on the previous page, a picture of Pyra Magna is misidentified as “Breecher”.
*Like the others in the series, this book is chock full of grammatical and spelling errors, but perhaps the most egregious is [[Aimless]]’s name being spelled as “Aimldeess” in the table of stat blocks sorted by Threat Level.
