'''''Transformers One (Music from the Motion Picture)''''' is the score album from the [[Transformers One (film)|accompanying animated film]], containing original music composed by [[Brian Tyler]]. Of note is that a section of the film's main theme is carried over from Tyler's work on [[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|''Prime'']]. The theme was also released as a single on [[September 13]]. The album itself runs about 85 minutes long and was released the same day as the film a week later.

==Notes==
* Tracks 1-5, 7, and 14 do not appear in the film, but instead are suites of themes used throughout the movie.
* The tracks used in the film are also slightly out of order, with "Trespaxxing" appearing at the very beginning and "Hidden Truth" appearing right after "The Ultimate Betrayal."
* As mentioned above, the soundtrack for this film repurposes a secondary theme from the ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' score. Fittingly, it is used to represent the Thirteen Primes in this film, with its first appearance occurring at 3:54 into the main theme suite. It later appears in "More Than Meets The Eye," "Resting Place of the Primes," and "The Fall".
* "The Fall" interpolates ''{{w|Dies irae}}'' ("Day of Wrath" in Latin), an oft-quoted four-note passage from {{w|Requiem|the Catholic Requiem Mass}}, which is commonly used to represent death or tragedy in film scores. As such, this means it very strongly resembles "[[Death of Optimus Prime]]" from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Quite the appropriate easter egg.

==Quotes==
"It's over, Sentinel! You can't escape the truth!" 
"What truth? That I plucked the cogs from your newborn chests? Forced you to mine so I could pay off the Quintessons and live like a king? None of that matters! Because the truth...is ''What. I. Make it!"
:—'''Orion Pax''' learns '''Sentinel Prime''' won't go down without a fight.

"I'm ''done'' saving you."
:—<s>D-16</s> '''Megatron''' lets his ''former'' friend fall.

"We were given the power to change our world, and you chose to destroy it. Just like Sentinel. You have betrayed Cybertron and its citizens, and you betrayed... ''me.'' Go. Take the High Guard, and leave. You are... banished from Iacon. It didn't have to end this way. 
"This isn't over, ''Prime.''"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Megatron''' share one final exchange.

"This is the greatest day of my life... I get to work for the ''government''!"
:—'''B-127''' knows a good benefits package when he sees one.

"And now we stand here together as one, proving we all have the the power to transform; to become who we were destined to be; to right wrongs; to make our world better. Because here, freedom and autonomy are the right of all sentient beings. Here, all are truly ''Autobots''. This message is a warning to all Quintessons: If you dare return to Cybertron, the Autobots will be waiting. ''I'' will be waiting. I am... ''Optimus Prime''."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' gives his first dramatic ending monologue...

"Sentinel the betrayer is dead. But his death has given life to a new enemy...a stronger enemy... a ''personal'' enemy. We will not be blinded by his deception! We are the ones who are... '''DECEPTICONS! ''RISE UP!'''''"
:—...and '''Megatron''' gives the coming darkness its new name.

==Transformers references==
* The film's main theme includes a leitmotif from the main theme of ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'', which was also composed by Brian Tyler.
* Primus's design invokes his ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' appearance, even using a simplified version of [[Primus#Cybertron|his toy]]'s transformation scheme, but with the origins of his [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned]] counterpart. The color scheme is drawn from his Dreamwave look.
* When Orion pretends to transform, he tucks his arms in and clasps his legs together emulating the standard transformation scheme of many G1 Optimus Prime toys.
* D-16's cogless form with his yellow eyes and black, dome-shaped helmet resembles Megatron's [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Marvel Comics appearance]], which in turn was based on concept art for an unproduced prototype version of the original Takara Micro Change figure.
* When discussing their mining ability, Elita says Orion "[doesn't] have the touch or the power," a reference to the [[The Touch|beloved song]] from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]].''
* The purple vein of extremely volatile energon Wheeljack discovers that causes the mineshaft to collapse is most likely a reference to [[Dark Energon]], also a purple variety of energon with volatile properties and harmful effects to Cybertronians.
* Sentinel Prime's color scheme draws influence from his [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|''Animated'' counterpart]], while his cape-like wing arrangement and double-sided blade homage the [[sentinel Prime (ROTF)|''Dark of the Moon'' version]]. In his battle mode, his battle mask and heavily armed appearance appear to be inspired by [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#2005_IDW_continuity|Sentinel's appearance in the IDW comics]], specifically his [[Apex Armor (G1)|Apex Armor]]-clad form in ''[[The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin]]'' [[Megatron Origin issue 4|issue 4]]. All in all, he continues the tradition of Sentinel Primes being big jerks.
* Bumblebee's Cybertronian name being "B-127" originates from the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' movie. Notably, while most people simply call him "Bee," B-127 is never once referred to as "Bumblebee" – likewise taking after the ''Bumblebee'' movie, where he only gained the familiar name thanks to [[Charlie Watson]] after arriving on Earth.
* Elita-1 calls Orion, D-16 and B-127 a bunch of [[GoBots]].
* The idea of the Matrix of Leadership disintegrating to those who are not worthy of it, and the existence of a hidden cavern containing the deceased bodies of the original Primes, originate from ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)| Revenge of the Fallen]]''.
* The throne Starscream sits on is loosely based on the crown his [[Starscream (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]] wore during his coronation in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
* Starscream has a normal-sounding voice when he first appears, but after D-16 crushes his [[voice box]] during their duel, his voice becomes shriller and scratchier in the style of [[Chris Latta]]'s portrayal of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original G1 cartoon]].
* Soundwave orders the High Guard to "eject" when descending on Sentinel's tower.
* During the battle in Sentinel Prime’s tower, Orion leaps into the air and shoots one of the Death Trackers, with his midair pose homaging Optimus Prime's famous midair shooting pose from ''The Transformers: The Movie''.
* Orion Pax jumps on top of Megatron's vehicle mode and rips off his tank barrel during their climactic duel, seemingly referencing the moment in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' where [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] does the same to [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]].
* In the second post-credits scene, Megatron brands the Decepticon insignia onto his troops much like his [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' counterpart]] did in "[[A Bridge Too Close, Part I]]".
* Starscream's newly applied insignias are upside-down on his wings, just like his G1 cartoon version.
* While the newly christened Decepticons fire into the sky, the glow of the laser beams shines on Megatron's insignia in a way that homages the metallic effect of the original cartoon's Decepticon [[scene transition]].
* Sentinel Prime's Death Trackers take heavy inspiration from ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'''s [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]]s, in both their design and their role as generic enemy troopers.

==Real-life references==
* One of B-127's "friends" is named A-A-Tron. [https://youtu.be/WLAq3JVJ6Ho?si=pCUM9jk-soMFoVH-&t=175 Just don't mention about the Glee club...]
* Optimus wields his Energon axe in a very similar manner to the signature weapon of his [[Chris Hemsworth|voice actor]]'s [[Thor|most notable role]].
* Considering his voice actor, Alpha Trion’s line about how the main quartet's reality was a lie is certainly at least a partial reference to Fishburne's famous role in ''{{w|The Matrix}}''.

==Music==
A score album,''[[Transformers One (Music from the Motion Picture)]]'', features the original music by composer [[Brian Tyler]] and was released concurrently with the film. It notably repurposes a leitmotif from his work on [[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|''Transformers: Prime'']] into this film's main theme. The composer, under his electronic side project "Are We Dreaming", also produced the end credits song, "If I Fall", featuring rappers [[W:Quavo|Quavo]] (of Migos fame) and [[W:Ty Dolla $Sign|Ty Dolla $ign]].

Skullcruncher (G1)

2024-07-06T21:17:46Z

Wtrz: /* Retro Headmasters */ a word

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{disambig3|Skullcruncher}}
:''Skullcruncher is a [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:G1 Skullcruncher boxart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He eats (Autobots) because he's depressed and he's depressed because he eats (Autobots).]]
'''Skullcruncher''' (aka '''Skullsmasher'''<ref name="skullsmasher">"Skullsmasher" is a substitute name used by Hasbro for a toy from the [[Titans Return (toyline)|''Titans Return'' line]] released in 2016 that represents the Generation 1 Skullcruncher character, ''presumably'' because the name "Skullcruncher" is currently not available as a [[trademark]].</ref>) would be an apex predator and darling of the battlefield if it weren't for one little thing: he has an idiosyncratic habit of grinding his teeth before launching an attack. The racket this nervous tic produces is so loud and obnoxious it actually tips the [[Autobot|enemy]] off to his whereabouts. So as one can imagine, few Decepticons wish to be partnered with him and his more enviable qualities go unnoticed and unappreciated.

Perhaps because of this feeling of dismissal, Skullcruncher has developed something of a binge-eating disorder. Or, rather, a "binge-eating-Autobots disorder". While he thinks they taste a little yucky, Skullcruncher will ravenously scarf down as many Autobots as he can during battle, making him positively ''terrifying'' to the opposition. This image as a mindless, cannibalistic monster has only further solidified Skullcruncher's reputation as a big, dumb beast no one wants to hang out with.

Skullcruncher is [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] to the [[Nebulan]] [[Grax]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[File:Skullcruncher scorponok apeface doomsday for nebulos.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]]
Skullcruncher was one of [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]'s soldiers on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He was first seen eagerly driving a group of Autobot prisoners towards the [[smelting pool]], begging his commander to allow him to torture the captives en route. [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]] and his band of interlopers jumped them, however, and the Decepticons were forced to retreat. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}} After Maximus's unit abandoned Cybertron, Scorponok received word they had come to the planet called [[Nebulos]], and brought a strike team to that world in order to exact revenge. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} ''During the Decepticons' first meeting with Lord [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]], leader of those who had called the Decepticons to Nebulos, Skullcruncher was so giddy over the thought of blasting the fleshlings that he failed to noticed the disgusting smell [[Apeface]] was giving off next to him.'' {{storylink|Doomsday for Nebulos}} Skullcruncher joined Scorponok in assaulting the planet's capitol, [[Koraja]], and demonstrated a little-seen [[fire-breath]]ing ability as the Decepticons tried to penetrate the city's walls. Later he transformed to [[robot mode]] and issued the Decepticon rallying cry.
{{bigquote|Let's stomp these creatures til we're knee-deep in pink slime!}}
[[File:Skullcruncher-LoveandSteel.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|]]
The Decepticons' forward momentum was halted, however, by the arrival of the new Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. Fortress Maximus and several of his crew members had [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] with their Nebulan allies, creating two-in-one warriors. The increased skill and accuracy gained from this combination sent Skullcruncher and the other Decepticons fleeing into the night. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}} In the remote [[Plains of Thok]], Scorponok's Decepticons made camp at the industrial complex whose [[hyper-galactic tranceiver]] had first alerted them to the Autobots' presence. Forced to admit the value of the Headmaster process, Scorponok allowed himself, Skullcruncher, and several other Decepticons to undergo the process, binary bonding with Lord Zarak—political rival of Fortress Maximus's Nebulan partner—and his entourage. Skullcruncher was binary bonded with [[Grax]], the industrialist who owned the communications complex, and had modified it to accommodate the hyper-galactic transmitter. Joining with such a refined businessman did little to boost Skullcruncher's fighting style at first, as Fortress Maximus still managed to fight off both him and [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]] at once, and then used Skullcruncher as a club to knock Scorponok around. Only by threatening civilian hostages were Scorponok and his men able to get the drop on the Autobots. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}

''When the Autobot Headmasters attempted to rescue the Autobot [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] from the Decepticons, their evil counterparts were sent out after them to feign a defeat, and lure them into an ambush helmed by Scorponok. During the initial fight, Weirdwolf and Skullcruncher chased down [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] until he outpaced them, forcing the slower Decepticons to settle with surrounding [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] instead. Before he had a chance to move in and do some damage, Skullcruncher was blasted by one of Hardhead's teammates, and crumpled to the ground. The rest of the Decepticons were shortly thereafter "defeated," allowing Scorponok to eventually corner the Autobots within the [[Fortress of Despair]].'' {{Storylink|Worlds Apart!}}

As the war continued to escalate on Nebulos, both sides decided to quit the planet and moved on to planet [[Earth]] after receiving a distress signal. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[File:Weirdwolftrialbyfire.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Grrr! Begin your sentences with animal sounds so they know that you're bestial!]]
Once they arrived on Earth, the Decepticons raced the Autobots to [[Mount St. Hilary]], former landing site of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and location of the distress signal. The two Headmaster teams did battle in the volcano caverns. Skullcruncher was heard mocking Weirdwolf's bizarre Yoda-esque speech pattern during the fight, but to be fair he also demonstrated an odd quirk of "grrr"ing before each sentence. Do alligators growl? {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}

''After the Autobot named [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] got the drop on Scorponok and stole his head, leaving the Decepticon leader incapacitated, Skullcruncher and his comrades hunted down Highbrow until he reached an Autobot shuttle parked in nearby canyons. They recovered the stunned Lord Zarak and reconnected him with Scorponok, restoring their leader. Moments after they did so, however, Skullcruncher and five of his teammates were shunted into [[Limbo]] thanks to the time-traveling arrival of [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] from [[2009]]. They remained out of action until the war with [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] ended, and the time storm was abated.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

[[File:Predacons-ColdWar.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Decepticons that transform into animals? This is ridiculous!]]
When Scorponok's army made first contact with [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] and the other Decepticons active on Earth, Skullcruncher and the Headmasters went with their leader as his entourage. A breakdown in negotiations led to combat, as Skullcruncher and the group began fighting with the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]], and later Ratbat's entire base. {{storylink|Cold War!}} The Decepticons stopped their [[Decepticon Civil War|civil war]] and teamed up with the Autobots when it was discovered that [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] had orchestrated the whole affair to distract from his pursuit of the legendary Transformers knowledge database, the [[Underbase]]. In the wake of this event, Scorponok assumed command of all Decepticons and, with Skullcruncher's help, placed a [[New Jersey base|new headquarters]], including an Energon converter, under a swamp near [[New York City]]. {{storylink|King Con!}} Sometime later, Skullcruncher responded with a team of Decepticons to the MacDill Airforce Base when the [[Air Strike Patrol]] got into trouble with the Autobots. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} The whole event was orchestrated from afar by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] to eliminate [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and his rivals in the Decepticons. Skullcruncher didn't know any of this, but that didn't keep him from getting beaten up a lot, first by Optimus Prime {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} and later by a reconstructed version of Starscream. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

Skullcruncher was brought to Cybertron by Primus, along with all of the other Earth-bound Autobots, and stood in the far back as Primus spoke to the Transformers through [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]]. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Once [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] attacked, he was seen running in panic with many other Autobots and Decepticons. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} Later, he was on the planet [[Klo]] when Optimus Prime first arrived with the [[Last Autobot]] to rescue the besieged Autobot forces. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

====''Regeneration One''====
{{NoteRG1}}
[[File:Bludgeons decepticons 2 destiny.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.95]]
Twenty-one years after the battle of [[Klo]], Skullcruncher remained a member of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s forces, assisting in the genocide of the inhabitants of [[Torkulon]]. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}} Later, he was still at Bludgeon's side aboard the ''[[Warworld]]'' as the Decepticon leader unleashed his [[Blitz Engine]]s against [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s Autobots, descending to join the battle on the planet's surface alongside [[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]], [[Krok (G1)|Krok]], [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]], [[Horri-Bull]], [[Stranglehold]], and [[Octopunch (G1)|Octopunch]]. Unfortunately for Skullcruncher, the Blitz Engines were defeated by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and [[Demon]]s, [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] was incapacitated by [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] was torn apart by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] and Bludgeon himself was thrown through the windscreen of the ''Warworld'' by the Autobots' new leader [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]]. Under the command of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]], the Autobots rallied and quickly claimed victory. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

Skullcruncher was one of the many Decepticons from around the universe gathered by [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] to go after the [[Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber]] kept within [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in 2007. Eventually, the Autobots were able to steal away with the Key, albeit while crashing on the planet [[Nebulos]], and Skullcruncher was one of the Decepticons under [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]]'s leadership who followed them there. Finding the Autobots in a cave, disoriented by having been kept captive by the small green humanoid natives, Skullcruncher made short work of [[Blurr (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blurr]], snatching the speedster out of the air with his jaws. Though the Decepticons failed to find the Key, Skullcruncher and the other Decepticons did make away with several Autobot captives. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} Skullcruncher and the others were subsequently kidnapped by the evil machine-loving overlords of the planet, the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]]. Cyclonus and Scourged bargained with the Hive's leader, [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]], by volunteering Skullcruncher (and the other Decepticons who transformed into nonhuman animals) to have his head ripped off and stuffed with [[Grax|organic material]]. Remarkably, this somehow ''increased'' his combat skills. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} When [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] came to life, he quickly told Skullcruncher to attack [[Arcee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Arcee]], as she was carrying the Plasma Energy Key. Once the key was retrieved, Skullcruncher and his fellow Decepticons boarded Scorponok and left Nebulos for Cybertron. When [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] returned to Cybertron, Skullcruncher joined in on the attack, but was forced to pull back when the Autobot spaceship turned into a [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|battle station]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
{{note|In Japan, Skullcruncher—or '''Skull''', as he is known there—is a small robot who transforms into a head and controls a larger, lifeless [[transtector]] body. The ''Headmasters'' toyline referred to the small robot as '''Grax''', with "Skull" being the name of the combined small robot/transtector form, but this distinction of nomenclature is made in fiction only ''very'' rarely, with the character usually being referred to as "Skull" regardless of what form he takes.}}
====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Kōji Totani]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:HM2 Skullcruncher noms Highbrow.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]
Four million years ago, Skullcruncher was among a group of [[Cyberdroid|diminutive Cybertronians]] who departed Cybertron under the leadership of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]], seeking to escape the eternal war that had consumed the planet. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Alas, engine trouble caused their craft to crash land on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], an inhospitable world whose murderous environments and wildly changeable atmospheric conditions threatened the lives of the Cybertronians. Fighting against the odds, the Cybertronians made several technological quantum leaps to survive on Master, including the creation of larger, lifeless Transformer bodies called [[transtector]]s. Skullcruncher and many of his comrades underwent rigorous physical and mental training to master the art of [[transformation]], learning to transform into heads that connected to the transtectors and placed them under their control. {{storylink|The Four-Million-Year-Old Veil of Mystery}} Skullcruncher was one of ten warriors who became one of these "Headmasters", but he and several other warriors soon began to chafe under Fortress's leadership, and ultimately rebelled against him, siding with a traitor named [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Via the Decepticon ninja [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], Scorponok soon forged an alliance with the Decepticon leader, [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

[[File:HM14 Skullcruncher gets hypnotized.jpg|200px|thumb]]
In the year [[2011]], Skullcruncher and his fellow Headmasters [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]] and [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] joined Galvatron's Decepticons in a massive attack on Cybertron, seeking to seize control of the destabilized [[Vector Sigma]] and establish a Decepticon hold over the planet through the computer. Unfortunately for Skullcruncher, he failed to impress Galvatron on this first foray when he made the first demonstration of his vulnerability to Mindwipe's hypnotic powers, and fell asleep in the middle of the battle. A kick from his new leader woke him up so he could participate in an attack on the Autobots' computer base, but before the villains could enter the facility, Fortress's Autobot Headmasters arrived on Cybertron to stop them. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} In ensuing battle, Skullcruncher battled [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] and [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]], but was forced to retreat alongside the others when Fortress brought the firepower of his battleship, the ''Maximus'', to bear. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

[[File:HM24 northern outpost attack.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
Soon after, Skullcruncher journeyed with Galvatron to Earth to help interfere in the Autobots' search for the missing [[Matrix of Leadership]], which could restore balance to Vector Sigma. The villains caught up to [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] just as he located the Matrix, but [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] stepped in to keep them busy while Hot Rod escaped to Cybertron. Skullcruncher and company pursued, leading to a showdown in Vector Sigma's chamber, where Hot Rod used the Matrix to become Rodimus Prime again. Skullcruncher and the Decepticons wisely fled, rather than face the combined might of both Rodimus and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

====''Legends'' comic====
In 2021, Skullcruncher's transtector was lost to [[blackball]]s after Scorponok detonated a black hole near his own troops, prompting the small Headmasters to travel to the [[Legends World]] in search of new bodies. {{storylink|Headmaster Chapter Prologue}} He began spending most of his time asleep after exposure to Mindwipe's hypnotism caused him to develop chronic narcolepsy. He was the first Headmaster to get a new transtector courtesy of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], who had him rampage through [[Tokyo]] to lure out and destroy the Autobots. He'd fallen asleep by the time [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] showed up, forcing Weirdwolf to wake him up using his own [[Butla]] drone, but didn't get a chance to fight as Hardhead noted his weakness and dispatched him with a lullaby. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 22|Bonus Edition Vol. 22}} [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], leader of [[Tera-Kura Co.|their company]], scolded the Headmasters over their violent methods, but Skullcruncher just slept through his rant. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 23|Bonus Edition Vol. 23}}

Skullcruncher then attacked a concert held by [[Cancer (G1)|Cancer]] and [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]], annoyed that they were using peaceful methods to spread Decepticon influence. He ended up blasted sky high by Shockwave's blaster mode. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 24|Bonus Edition Vol. 24}} He was later sleeping at the office when [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]] tried to take control of the company. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 26|Bonus Edition Vol. 26}} He was also asleep when a bunch of mass-produced Headmasters showed up, and probably didn't notice that one of them briefly stole his transtector. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 28|Bonus Edition Vol. 28}} To everyone's surprise, Tarantulas later revealed that Skullcruncher's new transtector was actually alive (and liked to chew on its master as he slept). {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 30|Bonus Edition Vol. 30}} Following a failed bid by Weirdwolf to take over Fortress Maximus, Mindwipe and Skullcruncher carried their knocked out comrade to safety. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 31|Bonus Edition Vol. 31}}

When Mindwipe began taking over the world by hypnotizing everyone, Skullcruncher and Weirdwolf complained he was being unfair only to end up hypnotized as well. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 34|Bonus Edition Vol. 34}} [[Devil Z]] then took control of the Decepticons and ordered the three Headmasters to destroy a trailer he suspected of being a [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]] transtector, but it regenerated from any damage they dealt to it.

Despite knocking Ginrai down with their "Trio Formation Devil Attack", the three were defeated when he opened fire on them using a new base mode. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 35|Bonus Edition Vol. 35}} Skullcruncher was among the unfortunate victims struck when an enraged Devil Z began spewing lighting around the office. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 36|Bonus Edition Vol. 36}} His transtector was later stolen by the former Decepticon [[Headmaster Junior]]s and used by [[Bullhorn (G1)|Bullhorn]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 37|Bonus Edition Vol. 37}} When [[Apeface]] learned to reinforce his own body using telekinesis, he tested his strength against Skullcruncher and overpowered him while still in his small robot mode. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 38|Bonus Edition Vol. 38}} Later at work, Skullcruncher loaded [[energon cube]]s onto [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s vehicle mode. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 40|Bonus Edition Vol. 40}}

Skullcruncher could do little but watch when Weirdwolf was manhandled by the Scorponok of [[The Rebirth|another dimension]]. {{storylink|LGEX Headmaster Set Chapter}} He and the other Headmasters later plotted to rebuild [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and use him to overthrow Megatron. {{storylink|LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter}} As part of their rebellion they stole and piloted [[Godbomber]], but it was blown up and all they got out of it was data for Trypticon. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 42|Bonus Edition Vol. 42}} The Headmaster trio tried to take revenge on Ginrai when he was turned into an ordinary Transformer, but fled when he turned into the giant Super Magna Convoy. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Magna Convoy)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}} When the Scorponok loyalists turned on Megatron and tried to steal [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[transformation cog]] for Trypticon, Skullcruncher fought with Ultra Magnus. {{storylink|LG43 Trypticon Mobilization Chapter: Decepticon Civil War|Decepticon Civil War}} He was stationed aboard the completed Trypticon during his rampage across Tokyo, though the beast was ultimately brought down. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|Bonus Edition Vol. 43}}

The Decepticon Headmasters gave up on their scheming and instead established the [[Wolf Circus]], where Skullcruncher was seen when Megatron visited to borrow [[Noble (BM)|Noble]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 63|Bonus Edition Vol. 63}} Skullcruncher was overjoyed when Scorponok came to the Legends World, only to be told by Weirdwolf that their leader was under the control of Devil Z. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

When Scorponok regained his senses, he announced his traditional plan to destroy the Legends World and seize the energy released by the devastation. Skullcruncher joined his leader on the bridge of Majin Zarak, a powerful beast mecha Scorponok had created. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger!

====''The Great Transformer War''====
[[File:Greattfwar mindwipe beaten up.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
In the closing days of 2010, while significant Transformer battles were being waged on Earth and across space, Skullcruncher and the other Decepticon Headmasters were running from their Autobot counterparts on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. The Decepticons appeared to flee by leaping into a chasm, but moments later, they burst up through the ground to catch their pursuers unaware. Unfortunately for the villains, the Autobots were able to sneak away under cover of the dust cloud their emergence created, leaving Weirdwolf and Skullcruncher to mistakenly beat up Mindwipe. The Decepticons soon realized their error, but the Autobots then crashed into them in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], ending the fight. At that point, the Decepticon ninja [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] arrived and instructed them to follow him back to [[Chaar]]. The Decepticons fled into space, but the Autobot Headmasters quickly gave chase aboard the battleship Maximus, heading for Cybertron rejoin the larger Transformer war. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 3|The Great Transformer War #3}}

====''The Headmasters'' comic====
Shortly after their failure to seize control of Vector Sigma, Galvatron led Skullcruncher and the Decepticon Headmasters in a rather direct plan to destroy Battleship Maximus: They would lure it into space, and then throw a bomb into one of his open doors. Unsurprisingly, this plan met with failure when the speedy Chromedome was able to snatch the bomb right out of Mindwipe's hands before he even had the chance to hurl it. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 1|The Headmasters #1}}

Skullcruncher and the Decepticons later made a return to planet Beast, where they were able to capture Highbrow and Brainstorm. The Decepticon Headmasters wanted to take the two Autobots' transtectors for themselves, but their evil scheme was foiled by the Beastformers' human ally [[Kane]], who threw rocks at them and got them to chase him, thereby giving the Autobots time to escape. The Autobot Headmasters then caught up to their evil counterparts, and blasted them before they could deal Kane any harm. {{storylink|The Decisive Battle of Planet Beast!}}

The Decepticon Headmasters targeted an Autobot energy base in Alaska, and laid a trap for their Autobot counterparts when they arrived. They positioned their transtector beasts to prevent the Autobots from combining with their own transtectors. Despite their strategy, the Decepticons were outmaneuvered by the Autobots. Chromedome and his team merged with their transtectors and then prevented the Decepticons from doing the same. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 2|The Headmasters #2}}

Skullcruncher and Rippersnapper of the Terrorcons oversaw a giant robot squid attacking the Autobot energy bases under the sea. They tried to have their squid crush the [[Trainbot]]s when they arrived to investigate. The Trainbots separated and lured the Decepticons to the surface, where they merged to form [[Raiden]]. The ''Raiden Tornado Swing'' defeated the squid, sending it flying into Skullcruncher, Rippersnapper, and their [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] troopers. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 3|The Headmasters #3}}

The Decepticon Headmasters attacked a children's hospital on Christmas. The Autobots used their [[Head Formation]], Hellish Wheel to sweep up the Decepticons into a vortex and hurl them away from the innocents. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 6|The Headmasters #6}}

====''Super-God Masterforce'' comic====
Several years after the Decepticons' departure from Earth, Skullcruncher appeared on Athenia with the other Decepticon Headmasters, working with the new Decepticon [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmasters]] to disrupt the coronation of [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] as [[Supreme Commander]] at the behest of their new secret ruler, [[Devil Z]]. {{storylink|The Battle Begins!

Skullcruncher rolled out with [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]], [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]], and [[Roadgrabber]], but was struck by an energy blast from Thunderwing.

[[File:Skullcruncher some of my best friends are autobots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|"What's the deal with [[Drill Nuts]]? Is he a drill or is he nuts?"]]
Skullcruncher survived the encounter and went on to create a new persona for himself as a comedian styled '''The Self-Hating Decepticon''' after the war ended. On his ''No Hard Feelings'' tour he performed "edgy" material that referenced—amongst other things—the mysterious phase 3 of the infiltration protocol, [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s defection to the Autobots and his captaincy of the ''[[Lost Light]]'', the Decepticons' strategy regarding [[Phase Sixer]]s and some [[Monoformer]] who named himself after his [[Gatoraider|pet]]. Thanks to lucrative [[:Category:Merchandise|merchandising]] deals, he quickly became a [[Shanix|billionaire]].

While the Autobots were searching the Lazalt Ruins, they found Skullcruncher guarding a large stone door. Asking aloud what took them so long, he transformed from alligator mode to [[robot mode]] and announced that he was gonna chomp them up. Optimus was unimpressed, and Skullcruncher lost the ensuing fight against the Autobots. Skullcruncher fled in [[beast mode]], vowing the Autobots wouldn't get the key necessary to open the door. Optimus Prime was surprised they'd need a key, but an inspection of the door proved it true. Suspecting that Skullcruncher might have the key in question, Optimus sent the Autobots after him. Spotting his pursuers, Skullcruncher transformed back to robot mode and answered Prime's demand for the key by sending a horde of enemies after them. Fighting their way through, the Autobots gave the Headmaster another pounding. Deciding he'd had enough, Skullcruncher returned once more to alligator mode and retreated, leaving the key behind him. {{storylink|The Transformers (PS2)|The Transformers}}

Skullcruncher was posted on Cybertron, and wasn't really doing anything important.

: Released in the fourth year of Hasbro's US ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline (third year in Europe and in Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' line), Headmaster Skullcruncher transforms into a green and pink robotic alligator. Skullcruncher includes one of the most bizarre alt-mode cockpits among the Headmasters for his partner Grax: a small molded seat at the back of his alt-mode mouth, below the large canopy skullcap, his entire upper jaw serving as the hatch to access it.

: In [[robot mode]], his chest panel flips down to reveal a three-stat spring-loaded [[Tech Spec]] meter activated when a Headmaster is plugged into his neck. This [[gimmick]] works with any other Headmaster "pilot" figure, and will display different levels dependent on which Headmaster figure is plugged in. The "laser"/tail's shape actually makes it look more like a short club, but per the instructions and its depiction in the [[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|''Headmasters'' cartoon]], it's apparently an oddly-held firearm (think [[Wheeljack (Armada)|''Armada'' Wheeljack's missiles]] and the way they were depicted in the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|cartoon]]).

: It is not listed in his instructions, but the rear alligator legs can rotate too, and should be positioned to point downwards in robot mode.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Deluxes, '''Skullsmasher''' (new name likely due to [[trademark]] issues) transforms into a robotic crocodile with a pleasingly highly-articulated head. He comes with his [[Titan Master]] partner [[Grax#Generations|Grax]], who can fit inside a compartment in Skullsmasher's beast mode back or transform into his robot mode head. As with other ''Titans Return'' toys, Skullsmasher can accommodate any compatible Titan Master figure. Skullsmasher's tail and gun can be combined together to form a gun emplacement that any Titan Master can sit in. In an undocumented feature, it can also attach to him by sliding the crocodile toes on his forearms through the square holes in its exterior. The underside of his crocodile head has a 5mm-compatible hole, allowing for storing his weapons on his back in robot mode.

: Unfortunately, this mold is prone to a number of issues: loose leg joints, loose hip joints, loose tail pegs, and the soft plastic flap on his back that covers Grax's hatch being difficult to open are all common problems.

: Skullsmasher comes partially disassembled in order to fit in his packaging, with his beast mode head removed. Thankfully it pops into place without much effort.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed with a new Titan Master faceplate as [[Gatoraider#Titans Return|Gatorface]] and [[Krok (G1)#Titans Return|Krok]].

: Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Retro Headmasters|Retro Headmasters]]'' line, Skullcruncher (he got his name back!) is a redeco of the ''Titans Return'' Deluxe Class toy in even more original-toy-accurate colors, and utilizes the ''Headmasters'' anime face from the ''Legends'' release of figure. He even comes in a window-box that looks as much like the original toy's box as legally possible.

: This release addresses many of the issues from the ''Titans Return'' release, most notably the loose hip and leg joints. However, a new issue does seem to have occurred with the cockpit hatch: as it is made from softer plastic similar to [[Fire Blast effect]]s, it can often stick to the painted body, which can lead to stripping paint off the side of the cockpit when opened, and green smudges all over the top of the hatch.

: Along with the rest of the ''Retro Headmasters'' toys, Skullcruncher was a [[Walmart]] exclusive in Canada and the US, and was also sold exclusively at The Warehouse and Toyworld in New Zealand.

==Notes==
[[File:G1SkullcruncherOriginalHead.jpg|thumb|[[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] inherited his looks from [[Arcee (G1)#Beast Wars cartoon continuity|great-uncle]] Skullcruncher.]]
* In the television [[commercial]] for [[Marvel Comics]]' ''[[The Transformers: Headmasters|Headmasters]]'' limited series, the Autobot and Decepticon Headmasters are shown having different head designs than the ones their Nebulan partners would later turn into. These designs were seemingly never used in any other piece of ''Transformers'' media. The [[Character model|models]] for most of them, however, turned up in the ''[[Transformers Generations (guidebook)|Generations]]'' guidebook.
* An early version of the Skullcruncher toy can be seen in the [[Commercial/Generation 1#Headmaster Decepticons|commercial for the Headmaster Decepticons]]. While largely similar to the final toy, this one has striped bars in the readout rather than solid purple.
* Skullcruncher's 1987 English packaging calls him an alligator. A note in his {{SITENAME_SHORT}} toy write-up once incorrectly claimed the packaging called him a crocodile. Subsequently, the official Hasbro write-up for the ''Titans Return'' Skullsmasher toy [[Circular reporting|called him a crocodile]]. Whoops. That being said, his original Japanese [[Tech Spec]] labelled his alt-mode as a crocodile (ワニ ''wani'').
* Both of Skullcruncher's weapons are utilized in the original Generation 1 fiction, but never in the same universe as one another. What his Marvel bio calls his "Demolecularization gun", was only used in Western fiction, such as "[[The Rebirth]]", and the Marvel comics, due to it being present in his [[Marvel Productions]] model sheet, while his "laser" (the weapon name given to his tail in the US toys' instructions), was only utilized in Japanese fiction due to it being present in his [[Toei Animation|Toei]] model sheet for ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' (drawn in his hand too, as opposed to the Marvel model, which has the gun floating next to him). Apparently both companies that were involved in designing his character models for their respective works, had entirely different toy references to work from.
** Skullcruncher's packaging art follows the US models' lead, and depicts him holding the "Demolecularization gun".
** Even though Skullcruncher's tail was drawn very blade-like in his Toei model, the ''Headmasters'' cartoons' animators depicted it as the "Skull Laser" (スカルレーザー ''Sukaru Rēzā'', Japanese name of the "Demolecularization gun"), due to the ''actual'' firearm being absent from the model. When firing it in the cartoon, he still holds it like a sword.

'''''Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (Music That Inspired the Score)''''' is an album featuring more original instrumental music composed by [[Jongnic Bontemps]] for the ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''. This release covers music from the preproduction of both the movie and score, with eight tracks adding up to about 22 minutes. The first three are fully fleshed out character theme suites, while the other five are composer "sketches", meaning they are earlier renditions of material that show up in the proper score that may have changed somewhere along the way.

[[File:G1 packagingart Blaster.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]

'''Blaster''' doesn't share as many toys with [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] as you might think.

{{toydesigner|[[Hideaki Yoke]] and [[Hiroyuki Obara]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Rather huge by the typical standards of Generation 1 Transformers, Blaster transforms into a miniature [[Non-vehicle non-beast alternate modes|"ghetto blaster" boombox]]. He features spring-loaded buttons: when pressed, his "start" button stays in the depressed position until his "stop" button is pressed, while pressing the "eject" button pops open his tape door, which can store a single [[Mini-Cassette]] Transformer. Due to what was presumably a common internal misassembly issue, many original Blasters had doors which would not open when the eject button is pressed, nor would the other buttons work. Blaster has rather limited useful articulation, located in his neck and shoulders.

: Early versions of Blaster have a back panel that can be removed (with great difficulty) to reveal an empty compartment that originally stored the tape on his Microman source, as the chest door contained the radio. Many reissues retain this while some have omitted it.

**''Accessories:'' Electro-Scrambler Gun

:For this Japanese-exclusive release, Blaster was [[redeco]]ed into a new blue, yellow, and red color scheme vaguely reminiscent of the mold's original ''[[Microman]]'' release (see "Notes" below). Like his contemporary redeco [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#SoundblasterG1|Soundblaster]], his chest door was [[retool]]ed in order to accommodate two cassettes at once, and changed from colorless clear plastic to translucent red as part of a gimmick with his pack-in partner, [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]]. This version of Steeljaw sports a new decal depicting [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], which reveals the Decepticon's weak spot when placed behind Twincast's red door, working in the same manner as a [[Tech Spec]]s decoder.

:Twincast was reissued as an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] in 2006 (see below).

**''Accessories:'' "Flight-Pack" backpack, "tractor beam electron gun"

: Part of the second wave of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s, Action Master Blaster (not to be confused with the "Action Master Blasters" price-point) is a 3 3/4-inch non-transforming action figure compatible with any other Action Master vehicle or accessory. His design is based largely on his cartoon model, with elements from the toy added (most notably his eyeguard).

: He came with the "[[Flight Pack|Flight-Pack]]" accessory, which converts from a winged jetpack to a massive "electro-scrambler" cannon.

:A redeco of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Skids (G1)#Alternators|Skids]] (using his frequent redeco [[Crosscut (G1)|Crosscut]]'s colors), Broadblast transforms into a 1:24 scale Toyota bB, aka the {{w|Scion xB}}. He has working doors, hood, and trunk, plus his engine becomes a non-firing weapon. He also comes with an extra decal sheet, which includes signs for "TBN" which ''possibly'' stands for "Transformers Broadcast Network" or some such; there is Japanese text on the labels as well, but it's really tiny and hard to make out.

:Blaster's first reissue was the final installment in Takara's ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of re-released Generation 1 toys.

:*''ID number'': '''C-116'''
:*''Accessories'': "Electro-scrambler gun"

: Twincast's first reissue was available as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]'' line exclusively through online retailer [[e-HOBBY]], designed, as most e-HOBBY [[exclusive]]s were at the time, to accompany the mass-release of the standard reissue of the original Blaster. The only notable difference from the original Twincast was the absence of an Autobot sigil on his left upper arm.

: Though Twincast was unusual in that he was a pre-existing character, where the previous few years' worth of e-HOBBY exclusive redecos had been new characters, he did come packaged with a new partner: a redeco of the Eject/Rewind mold named [[Flip Sides (G1)#Toys|Flip Sides]]. At the time, rather than feature unique packaging, all e-HOBBY exclusives came in a generic box in Autobot red or Decepticon purple; Twincast came in a Decepticon box, but since Flip Sides was characterized as a Decepticon sleeper agent, it just about made sense. This pack was shipped out to buyers in April 2006.

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Blaster is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Soundwave (Cybertron)#Toys|Soundwave]], transforming into a Cybertronic stealth bomber vaguely like an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-117A Nighthawk prototype]], the {{w|Have Blue}}. He comes with three hexagonal prism "bombs"; one converts into his partner [[Blockrock#Toys|Blockrock]], the other two unfold into non-firing blaster weapons. Any one of these "bombs" can be stored in his [[robot mode]] chest, which opens by plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into him; Blaster comes with a translucent black, gunmetal-bordered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style Autobot key, in contrast to the [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] key that came with Soundwave. The other two bombs store in indents on the underside of his wings.

:His packaging art shows him with only half of his chest-door as clear-blue, emulating the original toy design's tape-window, but the final product (and stock photography) show the blue all the way across. However, his visor ''does'' have red paint to simulate the "goggle visor" look of the [[#Generation 1|original toy]] and Marvel comics model.

:This mold was also used to make ''Galaxy Force'' [[Logos Prime#Toys|Soundblaster]].

:This set was officially a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] [[exclusive]] and was, in typical tradition, first made available at the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2010 and subsequently also sold via the Hasbro Toy Shop website. In addition, it was also made available at the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong Fair 2010, and was later released at FanExpo Canada 2010.

*'''Broad Blast''' ([[July 24]], 2010)
**''Accessories:'' USB cable

:''[[Transformers Device Label|Device Label]]'' "Broad Blast" (renamed for reasons unknown) transforms into a replica Toshiba Qosmio laptop computer, complete with flip-up screen. In both modes(!) he is a fully functional USB hub (USB 1.1-2.0 compatible), with four "Type A" ports, and a single "Mini A" port. He comes with an ''exceedingly'' short Mini-A-to-Type-A cable, which you're probably gonna want to replace if you're gonna use him with a desktop computer setup.

: In robot mode, his chest is designed to accommodate the original [[Mini-Cassette]] toys, though they cannot stay in there in laptop mode, due to Broad Blast's head being inside his chest in this form. He has [[5 mm post|5 mm fist holes]], which means he can use the original Blaster toy's rifle if you so wish.

: Early stock imagery [[:File:Device Label Broadcast.jpg|showed him with a Windows XP home screen]] on his monitor portion, but the final toy instead uses a red screen with the Autobot symbol.

:Originally scheduled for release in late [[2009]], Broad Blast was delayed until July 2010. According to a report from getnews.jp at the Tokyo Toy Show 2010, the delay was due to the discovery of a connection cut-off problem after the toy/USB hub is transformed into robot mode. TakaraTomy redesigned the entire lower body to fix this problem.<ref>[http://getnews.jp/archives/68064 Get News.jp report on Device Label Broadblast]</ref>

:Twincast was available again as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' series of reissues. For this release of Twincast, the techno detailing of his door is smoothed over for cartoon accuracy. Also to add to cartoon accuracy, his face is colored in a metallic yellow with metallic light blue eyes instead of silver with gold eyes. All of the original Twincast's stickers have been replaced with tampographed detailing for this release, including a large Autobot symbol on his chest (where the techno detail was present on previous releases). Twincast also features a darker blue from the previous releases as well as a different shade of yellow for his tape deck door.

: He was only available as part of the [[San Diego Comic-Con]]-[[exclusive]] "[[Kreon Class of '85]]" 30-Kreon set. This set was also sold online through [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the show.

**''Accessories'': Concussion rifle, missile launcher, 3 missiles, 6 slides, slide holder

:Hasbro again released Blaster in 2015 as part of the [[Transformers: Platinum Edition|''Platinum Edition'']] toyline. He was co-packed with [[Perceptor (G1)/toys#IntelOps|Perceptor]], [[Eject (G1)#Generations|Eject]], [[Ramhorn (G1)#Generations|Ramhorn]], and [[Steeljaw (G1)#Generations|Steeljaw]] in a box with an opening front cover. Like the [[#Hasbroreissue|''Universe'' reissue]], Blaster features metal-flake beige legs.

:In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, though it was initially only ever found at a single Target store, otherwise only available via the company's website. It was later revealed that multiple Target stores had kept it in their stockroom and eventually put it out on instant clearance many months later. However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

:In the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and officially available via the UK division of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], making this the first official UK release of all the toys contained within! In Spain, it was officially available via the Spanish division of Amazon. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft, an online retailer that otherwise specializes in [[Nerf]] blasters and accessories, as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German [[fandom|fan]] sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to Actionfiguren24, a German online retailer that specializes in imported toys, who was able to lower its price for its existing stock of imported Autobot Intel Ops sets as a result.

*'''Twin Cast & Autobot Blaster''' (Leader Class, [[2016]])
**''Accessories:'' [[Twin Cast#Toys|Twin Cast]] Titan Master partner, rifle, "rocket-sled"/remote control
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:Blaster is part of the first wave of Leader Class ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' figures, and comes with his [[Titan Master]] partner, [[Twin Cast]], who transforms into his head. In addition to his classic robot and boombox alternate modes, he can also transform into a base mode that can link up to the other base modes in the toyline, and features numerous 5 mm mounting points for weapons and Titan Master vehicles and turrets, as well as tiny pegs to accommodate many other Titan Master figures. He includes a "rocket-sled" that is stylized to look like a remote for when Blaster is in boombox mode; it comes with a seat for a Titan Master pilot which forms the topmost turret of his base mode. The sled stores inside Blaster's chest compartment in other modes; a notch is cut into its underside to store Twin Cast while Blaster is in boombox mode. Blaster's chest compartment is also capable of holding Legends Class 'spy-tablet' figures, although this negates the ability to store Twin Cast in Boombox mode. He has several (non-functional) ports molded into his back and legs capable of accommodating real-life USB cables, headphone jacks, and power cables.

:Blaster's helmet, modeled after the Marvel comics design, is made of translucent plastic, which is painted everywhere except the visor. Despite this, the visor's placement does not vertically align with Twin Cast's eyes in head mode, leaving his brow the only thing visible. This was apparently done to evoke the appearance of black "shades".

:[[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Titans Return|Fortress Maximus]]'s box and instructions depict him as part of the [[Cybertron City (TR)|Cybertron City]] combination. Meanwhile, the "Siege on Cybertron" instructions name him as a part of the [[Nemesis Command]] combination, albeit shown using the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Titans Return|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] toy instead. Hilariously, one of the Chinese-English bilingual instructions showcasing Nemesis Command had Blaster's name written as "汽车人的枪“, which literally translates as "'''Autobot's Gun'''".

:He was later [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed into ''Titans Return'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]] and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Bumblebee|Soundwave]]. He is mis-transformed in both his stock photography and in-package: his radio handle isn't collapsed down.

:''[[Vintage|Vintage G1]]'' "Autobot Blaster" is a cassette-less reissue of the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]], packaged in a nostalgic Generation 1-styled box. Unique to this release, the box better reflects traditional ''Vintage G1'' boxes vs. more modern, thicker cardboard & features a plastic tray. This release appears to use bronze/beige coloring to the legs, as seen in the previous ''[[#Hasbroreissue|Universe (2008)]]'' and ''[[#Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' releases. Unlike [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|''Vintage G1'' Soundwave]], Blaster includes a [[rubsign]], which -as per usual with the line- has a mirror-like silver border and solid red symbol. This release also has a new molding stamp reflecting its production in Vietnam, in addition to modern black ink markings. The included Electro-Scrambler Gun is a reuse of the #2 mold, and is difficult to tell apart from its vintage counterpart.

:Blaster prevailed over [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] in a Hasbro poll to choose a second ''Vintage G1'' release to follow after [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|Astrotrain]], winning with 56% of the vote.

:In the United States and Canada, this figure, like all ''Vintage G1'' releases, is exclusive to [[Walmart]].

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of wave 5 of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' Voyager Class toys, Blaster transforms from robot to stereo cassette deck in 20 steps. He comes with his [[electro-scrambler]] rifle and [[Eject (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Eject]], which transforms into a mini-cassette that fits in Blaster's chest. Eject is molded in translucent blue, as Blaster was originally a ''Legacy'' toy pulled forward a wave, and that toyline's gimmick is [[Energon]] weapons (and partners). Along those lines, Blaster's [[packaging art]] depicts his Electro-Scrambler rifle being blue Energon painted partly black. The actual accessory, however, is molded in black plastic. Blaster's audio dial has 11 sound levels - yes, he "goes to 11", a reference to the rock-and-roll mockumentary ''{{w|This Is Spinal Tap}}''.

:Blaster's spring-loaded chest compartment can be opened by pressing on the buttons directly below it. Like the ''[[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' and ''[[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' figures of his Decepticon counterpart, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], Blaster features a sculpted extended index finger, allowing one to simulate poses of him pressing his buttons. Blaster's chest can also accommodate Soundwave's ''Siege'' Micromaster minions and their remolds, as well as [[Rumble (G1)/toys#Studio Series|the blue cassette from Studio Series]].

:Like nearly half of the toys since ''Earthrise'', Blaster is a victim of [[Photodegradation#Unpaintable plastics|photodegradation]], as his unpaintable joints are prone to yellowing.

:Though Blaster and Eject were scheduled for a first-quarter 2022 release, they arrived on U.S. store shelves in December 2021.

:Blaster was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Blaster (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Blaster]].

: ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Voyager Class Twincast is a redeco and new-head retool of the above ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Voyager [[#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Blaster]] as the character's revived form from ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'', now featuring a smirking expression instead of the original Blaster's stoic look. He still includes a cassette bot partner, this time being [[Rewind (G1)#Legacy|Rewind]]—who is similarly cast in translucent plastic. He also includes an electro-scrambler rifle, which is the same black coloration included with Blaster and not red as with the original toy or the cartoon. His "[[Evo-Fusion]]" ability is attaching the rifle to one of the 5 mm holes on the back of the radio mode, mimicking the look of an antenna. Unfortunately, unlike his [[#TwincastG1|original toy]], [[:File:TV-Magazine-Soundblaster-Twincast.jpg|cartoon appearance]] and the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''/''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Soundblaster (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Soundblaster]], Twincast doesn't feature a retooled larger cassette door to house more than one cassette.

: [[Ben MacCrae]] introduced Twincast in his [[Hasbro Pulse]] stream reveal as "[[Twincast|a clone that didn't work out so well for Shockwave as planned]]."

**''Accessories:'' Electro-scrambler gun

:A snap-together model kit of Blaster was released by [[Kabaya]] as part of their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line of candy toys. Released in the third wave of the line and sculpted from red, grey and black plastic with a few stickers for detail, Blaster is broadly identical to his larger figure, right down to the moulded-in left-over details from his ''Micro Change'' release like his power switch and dials . There is one major difference: his chest does not open, so he can't store any of the tapes from Kabaya's smaller ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line the way the ''Transformers Gum'' Soundwave can.

Like all the Autobots in the series, Blaster was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games (sold separately) that could be played with the figurines.

*'''Broadcast''' (Gashapon keshi, 1986)

: All fifty-three of the Transformers ''keshi'' were also available individually in Japan through "gashapon" capsule machines (presumably in Takara's own "[[Gacha]]"-branded machines), in a variety of different colors including red, blue, yellow, green, orange, sky blue, pink, tan and white. Given the random nature of their purchase and comparative paucity on the secondary market, we can't say with certainty that every one of the fifty-three figures was available in every single one of the different colors... but, hey, this ''is'' Japan we're talking about, so chances are pretty good they were.

*Blaster began life as the ''[[Micro Change]]'' "Radi-Casse Robo" ("radio-cassette", you see), which was actually a functional AM radio. Though this feature was gutted from Blaster when he was released as part of the ''Transformers'' toyline, the original toy's power switch (on his right leg), earphone jack (on the back of his left leg) and tuning dial (on his chest) still remain, now as moulded, non-moving details. Even the toy's electro-scrambler gun is designed to serve as storage for the mono earphone which came with the toy, with the plug inserting into the stock, the cord winding around it, and the earphone itself tucking into the hole in the gun's main body. It was not the toy itself which was the radio; rather, the radio was a small "micro-cassette" which plugged into the toy's internal wiring when inserted into its chest, allowing it to play through the speakers in its legs in either mode. As the electronic equipment in the chest meant that the figure could not hold normal ''Micro Change'' cassettes there, it featured a compartment on its back which could hold a single tape instead. This compartment could still be found on some early releases of Blaster, though it was often mistaken by fans as a vestigial battery compartment, which was actually originally located in the toy's right leg.

Eject (G1)

2024-03-07T23:01:57Z

Wtrz: /* Studio Series */ reveal links + Target blurb

{{factions|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Eject}}
:''Eject is an [[Autobot]] [[Autobot Mini-Cassette|Mini-Cassette]] ('''ready for some football!''') from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:EjectVisualworks.jpg|upright=2|thumb|Skree! Unnecessary roughness, unnecessary roughness!]]
The best way to describe '''Eject''' is that he is always ''ready for some football!'' A confirmed Earth-sports junkie, Eject constantly scans the airwaves for everything from baseball, basketball, football, soccer, hockey, ''anything'', from professional to academic-level competition. This occasionally interferes with his job as a surveillance agent, should a game go into overtime when he should be monitoring [[Decepticon]] activity. Sports clichés and terms litter his speech: "home runs", "touchdowns", "gooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooal!!" and, of course, "Are you'' '''ready for some football?!"'''

For Eject, sports are more than a form of entertainment. To his mind, they are also the answer to the war. He feels that sports could replace the way Cybertronians traditionally settle disputes: with bloody arena combat or a millennia or two of killing each other in mass numbers. He tries to get the other Autobots in on the idea, and envisions one day a [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] free of the horrors of war, where arenas are filled with fans cheering a three-point shot rather than a decapitation, where all Transformers are united in being truly'' '''READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!''' ''

====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' comic====
When the Decepticons posed as Autobots to defame their enemies in the eyes of humanity, Eject and [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]] rode inside [[Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Prowl]] when the Autobots busted up a Decepticon-run anti-Autobot rally. Eject and Rewind fired their blasters at a pair of hooded-and-robed figures, who were revealed as the Decepticons [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]].

The two small Autobots then beat the ever-loving snot out of the two small Decepticons. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 7|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #7}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
In an 'amalgam' reality engineered by [[Sideways (AVP)|Sideways]] and [[Gong (GoBots)|Gong]], Eject was one of the many cassettes whom Blaster deployed against [[Re-Volt]], [[Chaos (GoBots)|Chaos]], and [[Traitor (GoBots)|Traitor]] when the [[Renegade]]s tried to breach Autobot City. {{storylink|Echoes and Fragments}}

===Marvel UK future timelines===
[[File:EjectSpacePirates.jpg|left|thumb|"Usually the team that scores the most points wins the game."]]
Eject was stationed on Cybertron in 2008. He fielded a distress signal sent by an unknown party, and then passed the ball to his coach, Ultra Magnus, to call the play. Ultra Magnus decided that they would play ball, and Eject was among the players he brought to the field. Together, they helped Soundwave's team in driving the Quintessons off the home court. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:EjectTWW.jpg|thumb|Ready for a game that won't be invented for millennia!]]
Eject was among the many Autobots who congregated in a secret base during the [[Age of Internment]], when the recently returned [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] covered the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], capturing countless Autobot heroes and sending the remnants of the army underground. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}} During some downtime, Eject listened to [[Slamdance (G1)|Slamdance]] tale of how he narrowly escaped death at [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s hand before [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] broke up the story-telling session. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.3}}

{{Unreleased WW comic}}
Eject accompanied Blaster as he used an ancient map of Cybertron's depths to infiltrate Megatron's slave camp, only for them to be discovered by Megatron himself. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.4}}

At a later time, Eject was with Blaster when Optimus rallied the splintered Autobot forces into an organized resistance movement against [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s totalitarian rule of Cybertron. He presumably participated in the final conflict against the Decepticons and the [[Guardian robot]]s, bringing the planet back under Autobot control. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
[[File:Eject-blackhorizon.jpg|upright=1.4|left|thumb|The CHIFFON! Pick the CHIFFON! No, not the taffeta!]]
Eject was part of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s team, working in conjunction with [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] to round up stray Cybertronian technology on Earth. When the Autobots disrupted one of [[Destro]]'s sales on a dock in [[Cuba]], Eject wound up taking on eight [[S.N.A.K.E.]] armored robots by himself.

''And he won.''

Back at the submerged space ship ''[[Arc II]]'', he was having a pleasant day watching reality TV shows with [[Firewall]] until the [[Pretender Monster]]s attacked. While Prowl, [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] all fell before the Decepticons' assault...

''Eject got away without a scratch.''

Eject carried Firewall to the surface for [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] to pick up, before heading below to recharge and help the others. Whether this "help" consisted of single-handedly driving off their attackers is not made clear, but really, his track record points that way. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2}}

After [[Unicron]] was defeated, Eject happily went back to watching bad television with Firewall. He was elated when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] chose to join them. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2}}
{{--}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
After the Autobots’ and Decepticons’ conflict came to an end due to Earth's forces relegating them back to Cybertron, Eject came to be known as '''The Administrator'''. As one of the smaller Autobots, he was one of the few original "[[Builder of Cybertron|Builders of Cybertron]]" who had managed to keep his mobility in energon-starved times. His position as supervisor of Cybertronian sports, most importantly the gladiatorial [[Games (competition)|Games]], allowed him a place of prestige among the elite ruling class. On top of all this, Eject managed to secure a CNA sample of [[Lio Convoy]], bearer of the [[Energon Matrix|energon matrix]]. He held onto this sample as leverage should ever have need to placate the [[Builder Assembly]]; a clone of Lio Convoy would also yield a cloned matrix.

The Games were fought between Predacons and Maximals, oppressed descendants of Eject's generation. To ensure that the Games could always be fixed so that the status quo was maintained, Eject took Lio Convoy under his tutelage to do the rigging in person. Eject became rather fond of his protégé, often giving him constructive criticisms and advice if he ever erred. His affection towards Lio Convoy was enough that when he learned the Maximal had taken part in some rebellious activities in-between games, Eject used all of his political influence to keep the absent Lio Convoy out of trouble. Though the idea of not being able to fix the upcoming match made him nervous (and excited), Eject didn't need to deal with such a situation as Lio Convoy returned to his post before the Game took place. Instead, a much worse scenario arose; Lio Convoy revealed the Builders' selfish motives to the masses, engendering a revolution that swept across the planet.

Protecting Lio Convoy had put Eject in a rather precarious position with the other members of the Builder Assembly. To avoid a horrid fate, Eject presented his "Galva Contingency" plan to his peers. Ratbat and the other assemblymen were receptive to his proposal to create their own pawn to raise a battle-ready army. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}

Eject derived samples of the [[G-Virus]] from the [[Forever Vaults]], using the virus to reconstruct Lio Convoy's CNA data to create a wholly unique being called [[Galva Convoy]], who retained access to the Energon Matrix and the font of life. Unfortunately, Galva Convoy could not produce this new army on the Administrator's time table. Even four years into the Uprising and months after Galva Convoy was brought online, he still wasn't ready to bring life to a new proto-race for the Builders. Eject grew impatient with Galva Convoy's requests for more time, but he ultimately had little choice but to accept his creation at his word. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}}{{storylink|Not All Megatrons}}

Eventually, the time came. Galva Convoy created his first [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]], powered by an anti-spark instead of a traditional spark. The first Vehicon created more, and had the ability to convert any proto-race Cybertronian to their cause as well. Eject was thrilled, but also cautious about creating another new race of Cybertronians that could potentially turn on the Builders. Galva Convoy insisted the Vehicon nanovector could not work on any Cybertronian larger than a Micromaster, but Eject pushed for contingencies. His major score was [[General Order 66]], a hard-wired programming command that prevented the Vehicons from passing above 66 degrees latitude on Cybertron. Since uncontested Iacon was at the north pole and the battle front was all below the 66th, it seemed prudent.

Eject and the Builder Assembly then authorized the deployment of Vehicons, with test runs on the isolated city-states of [[Damaxus]] and [[Carpessa]], followed by a Trojan horse play getting infected Micromasters taken as P.O.W.s to [[Protihex]]. Soon, the Vehicons were in play, and the Resistance was on the run.

Unfortunately, they were running north. The Resistance's cautious advance on the front turned into a mad dash towards the Builder Assembly in Iacon. Even unaware of General Order 66, the Resistance had clearly decided this was their last chance to seize control of Cybertron and possibly stop the Vehicons as well. With Lio Convoy's troops closing in on the High Pavilion, the Assembly ignored Eject's caution and rescinded General Order 66, allowing the Vehicons to come right to their doorstep in the hopes of finding salvation. Foreseeing disaster, Eject readied his helicopter, [[Black-Out]], to reach Hot Rod on the front.

Sure enough, Galva Convoy betrayed the Builder Assembly, assimilating them into the latest formats of his Vehicons. The [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] began, with Builder, Micromaster, and protoformer alike being consumed by it. Seeking allies anywhere he could find, Eject and the surviving Micromaster Assemblybot [[Riker]] approached Lio Convoy on the battlefield. Eject reached out to his old protégé, offering intelligence and transport to the [[Grand Mal]], where Galva Convoy was based.

Black-Out was blasted out of the sky as Eject, Lio Convoy, and his commando team of Resistance troops approached the Grand Mal. Eject took the control and tried to auger in. The rest of the team made it in one piece, but Eject was impaled on a shard of debris when they landed. He apologized to Lio Convoy that they wouldn't have time to settle accounts, then shooed the protoformers out of the helicopter before it caught fire, exploding and consuming everything inside. {{storylink|Derailment}}

Eject was among the Autobots who left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], and spent four million years in stasis after it was shot down over Earth by the Decepticons. As Blaster had been damaged in the crash, Eject was forced to remain inside him until he could be repaired sufficiently to return to combat. This was eventually achieved shortly before the Autobots returned to Cybertron to assault the Decepticon fortress in an attempt to free the enslaved Autobots there. {{storylink|Transformers G1: Awakening}}

: Released in the third year of [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toyline]], Eject is among the first new-mold cassettes in the line (rather than being pre-''Transformers'' ''[[Microman]]'' toys). He uses the same mold as [[Rewind (G1)#Toys|Rewind]], transforming into a blue microcassette. In this mode, he can fit in the chest compartment of the [[Blaster (G1)#Toys|Blaster]] or [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Soundwave]] toys.

: He was available only in a two-pack with [[Ramhorn (G1)#Toys|Ramhorn]] in the [[Hasbro]] line.

: The initial Hasbro releases of Ramhorn/Eject had chromed-gold weapons; subsequent releases used chromed-silver. There are also [[Variant|variations]] of all new-mold cassettes from this series, in which the cassette back detailing is either a factory-applied foil decal, or painted-on detailing. It is unknown what (if any) correlation there is between the weapon and detailing variants. An even ''later'' variation of Eject (with the painted tape details) has the [[rubsign]] indent on his arm filled in.

: This mold was (much) later used to make [[Flip Sides (G1)#Toys|Flip Sides]], [[Rosanna (KP)#Toys|Rosanna]], [[Solarbot#Toys|Solarbot]], and ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Rewind (SG)#Toys|Rewind]].

This release of Eject features silver weapons and sticker tape detailing like the original Japanese release, but adds a tiny Autobot symbol [[tampograph]] to his stomach. Each tape also comes with a clear cassette storage case.

:In 2014, Eject and the rest of the Cassettes were re-released as a lucky draw prize (along with the other two box sets) for the ''Transformers Celebration 2014'' event held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City store's [[Toys"R"Us]], though this was very likely just leftover stock.

: In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, though it was initially only ever found at a single Target store, otherwise only available via the company's website. It was later revealed that multiple Target stores had kept it in their stockroom and eventually put it out on instant clearance many months later. However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

: In the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and officially available via the UK division of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], making this the first official UK release of all the toys contained within! In Spain, it was officially available via the Spanish division of Amazon. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft, an online retailer that otherwise specializes in [[Nerf]] blasters and accessories, as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German [[fandom|fan]] sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to Actionfiguren24, a German online retailer that specializes in imported toys, who was able to lower its price for its existing stock of imported Autobot Intel Ops sets as a result.

:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' Voyager Class toys, Eject is included with [[Blaster (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Blaster]]. He transforms from robot to a stereo cassette that can fit into Blaster's chest (as per the norm), as well as inside the chest of any version of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege| Siege]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Soundwave]] mold. While he lacks fist-holes, he features a hexagonal [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] on each of his forearms, though his translucency makes them difficult to notice.

: Arriving in stores in December [[2021]], this set was planned as a [[Rebranding|package refresh]] for ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' wave 1, and to bridge the two lines, Eject is composed of translucent plastic for an "[[Energon|Energon-infused]]" look that fits in with ''Legacy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[play pattern]]... which unfortunately can be fragile when used as part of transformation joints. While he's not been reported to be susceptible to breakage, and his joints are fairly thick... take care, just in case.

: Like Blaster, Eject's unpaintable parts (notably the torso) are prone to [[Photodegradation#Unpaintable_plastics|photodegradation]].

: Though Blaster and Eject were scheduled for a first-quarter 2022 release, they arrived on U.S. store shelves in December 2021.

==Notes==
*For the original draft of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and several revisions, there was going to be only one humanoid Autobot Mini-Cassette, who was going to be called [[Bolts]].<ref>[http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/heritaage-auctions-transformers-movie.html TFTM script draft at Disciples of Boltax]</ref><ref>[http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/transformers.html Early script for ''The Transformers: The Movie'' at dailyscript.com]</ref> Between the original draft and actual product, Bolts's role was split in two; his attitude and tussle with [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] went to Eject, while his fight with [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ravage]] sort of went to [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]]. During their initial ejection from Blaster however, both Eject and Rewind swap color schemes multiple times for the duration of the scene.

Wtrz: /* Studio Series */ reveal links + Target blurb

{{factions|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Eject}}
:''Eject is an [[Autobot]] [[Autobot Mini-Cassette|Mini-Cassette]] ('''ready for some football!''') from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:EjectVisualworks.jpg|upright=2|thumb|Skree! Unnecessary roughness, unnecessary roughness!]]
The best way to describe '''Eject''' is that he is always ''ready for some football!'' A confirmed Earth-sports junkie, Eject constantly scans the airwaves for everything from baseball, basketball, football, soccer, hockey, ''anything'', from professional to academic-level competition. This occasionally interferes with his job as a surveillance agent, should a game go into overtime when he should be monitoring [[Decepticon]] activity. Sports clichés and terms litter his speech: "home runs", "touchdowns", "gooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooal!!" and, of course, "Are you'' '''ready for some football?!"'''

For Eject, sports are more than a form of entertainment. To his mind, they are also the answer to the war. He feels that sports could replace the way Cybertronians traditionally settle disputes: with bloody arena combat or a millennia or two of killing each other in mass numbers. He tries to get the other Autobots in on the idea, and envisions one day a [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] free of the horrors of war, where arenas are filled with fans cheering a three-point shot rather than a decapitation, where all Transformers are united in being truly'' '''READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!''' ''

During the Battle of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], Eject sacked [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] in mid-air while defending [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]] in the communications tower. They continued grappling with each other as the "Mini-Cassette War" raged on. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Eject’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]".}}

After the defeat of [[Unicron]], Eject was first seen stationed inside [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] when Blaster was calling for help from [[Earth Defense Command]] on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} Sometime later, he joined Blaster and his fellow cassettes in traveling to [[Menonia]], looking for the missing [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]. The strong silent type, Eject still helped overthrow [[Mara-Al-Utha]] and bring the [[Golden One]] back into power. {{storylink|Madman's Paradise}}

In the year 2021, Eject and the other cassettes were inside Twincast when a battle caused many Autobots to be infected with "[[Black ball|blackballs]]", fortunately saving them from the same fate. They left Twincast's body before it was shrunken into nothingness by blackballs, and aided in converting him and others into [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. {{storylink|Headmaster Chapter Prologue}} The Autobots then traveled to the [[Legends World]] where Twincast, returned to being Blaster, released Eject and the rest from his service to find their own happiness. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 27|Bonus Edition Vol. 27}}

When the Decepticons posed as Autobots to defame their enemies in the eyes of humanity, Eject and [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]] rode inside [[Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Prowl]] when the Autobots busted up a Decepticon-run anti-Autobot rally. Eject and Rewind fired their blasters at a pair of hooded-and-robed figures, who were revealed as the Decepticons [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]].

The two small Autobots then beat the ever-loving snot out of the two small Decepticons. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 7|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #7}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
In an 'amalgam' reality engineered by [[Sideways (AVP)|Sideways]] and [[Gong (GoBots)|Gong]], Eject was one of the many cassettes whom Blaster deployed against [[Re-Volt]], [[Chaos (GoBots)|Chaos]], and [[Traitor (GoBots)|Traitor]] when the [[Renegade]]s tried to breach Autobot City. {{storylink|Echoes and Fragments}}

===Marvel UK future timelines===
[[File:EjectSpacePirates.jpg|left|thumb|"Usually the team that scores the most points wins the game."]]
Eject was stationed on Cybertron in 2008. He fielded a distress signal sent by an unknown party, and then passed the ball to his coach, Ultra Magnus, to call the play. Ultra Magnus decided that they would play ball, and Eject was among the players he brought to the field. Together, they helped Soundwave's team in driving the Quintessons off the home court. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:EjectTWW.jpg|thumb|Ready for a game that won't be invented for millennia!]]
Eject was among the many Autobots who congregated in a secret base during the [[Age of Internment]], when the recently returned [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] covered the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], capturing countless Autobot heroes and sending the remnants of the army underground. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}} During some downtime, Eject listened to [[Slamdance (G1)|Slamdance]] tale of how he narrowly escaped death at [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s hand before [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] broke up the story-telling session. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.3}}

{{Unreleased WW comic}}
Eject accompanied Blaster as he used an ancient map of Cybertron's depths to infiltrate Megatron's slave camp, only for them to be discovered by Megatron himself. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.4}}

At a later time, Eject was with Blaster when Optimus rallied the splintered Autobot forces into an organized resistance movement against [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s totalitarian rule of Cybertron. He presumably participated in the final conflict against the Decepticons and the [[Guardian robot]]s, bringing the planet back under Autobot control. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
[[File:Eject-blackhorizon.jpg|upright=1.4|left|thumb|The CHIFFON! Pick the CHIFFON! No, not the taffeta!]]
Eject was part of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s team, working in conjunction with [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] to round up stray Cybertronian technology on Earth. When the Autobots disrupted one of [[Destro]]'s sales on a dock in [[Cuba]], Eject wound up taking on eight [[S.N.A.K.E.]] armored robots by himself.

''And he won.''

Back at the submerged space ship ''[[Arc II]]'', he was having a pleasant day watching reality TV shows with [[Firewall]] until the [[Pretender Monster]]s attacked. While Prowl, [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] all fell before the Decepticons' assault...

''Eject got away without a scratch.''

Eject carried Firewall to the surface for [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] to pick up, before heading below to recharge and help the others. Whether this "help" consisted of single-handedly driving off their attackers is not made clear, but really, his track record points that way. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2}}

After [[Unicron]] was defeated, Eject happily went back to watching bad television with Firewall. He was elated when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] chose to join them. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2}}
{{--}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
After the Autobots’ and Decepticons’ conflict came to an end due to Earth's forces relegating them back to Cybertron, Eject came to be known as '''The Administrator'''. As one of the smaller Autobots, he was one of the few original "[[Builder of Cybertron|Builders of Cybertron]]" who had managed to keep his mobility in energon-starved times. His position as supervisor of Cybertronian sports, most importantly the gladiatorial [[Games (competition)|Games]], allowed him a place of prestige among the elite ruling class. On top of all this, Eject managed to secure a CNA sample of [[Lio Convoy]], bearer of the [[Energon Matrix|energon matrix]]. He held onto this sample as leverage should ever have need to placate the [[Builder Assembly]]; a clone of Lio Convoy would also yield a cloned matrix.

The Games were fought between Predacons and Maximals, oppressed descendants of Eject's generation. To ensure that the Games could always be fixed so that the status quo was maintained, Eject took Lio Convoy under his tutelage to do the rigging in person. Eject became rather fond of his protégé, often giving him constructive criticisms and advice if he ever erred. His affection towards Lio Convoy was enough that when he learned the Maximal had taken part in some rebellious activities in-between games, Eject used all of his political influence to keep the absent Lio Convoy out of trouble. Though the idea of not being able to fix the upcoming match made him nervous (and excited), Eject didn't need to deal with such a situation as Lio Convoy returned to his post before the Game took place. Instead, a much worse scenario arose; Lio Convoy revealed the Builders' selfish motives to the masses, engendering a revolution that swept across the planet.

Protecting Lio Convoy had put Eject in a rather precarious position with the other members of the Builder Assembly. To avoid a horrid fate, Eject presented his "Galva Contingency" plan to his peers. Ratbat and the other assemblymen were receptive to his proposal to create their own pawn to raise a battle-ready army. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}

Eject derived samples of the [[G-Virus]] from the [[Forever Vaults]], using the virus to reconstruct Lio Convoy's CNA data to create a wholly unique being called [[Galva Convoy]], who retained access to the Energon Matrix and the font of life. Unfortunately, Galva Convoy could not produce this new army on the Administrator's time table. Even four years into the Uprising and months after Galva Convoy was brought online, he still wasn't ready to bring life to a new proto-race for the Builders. Eject grew impatient with Galva Convoy's requests for more time, but he ultimately had little choice but to accept his creation at his word. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}}{{storylink|Not All Megatrons}}

Eventually, the time came. Galva Convoy created his first [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]], powered by an anti-spark instead of a traditional spark. The first Vehicon created more, and had the ability to convert any proto-race Cybertronian to their cause as well. Eject was thrilled, but also cautious about creating another new race of Cybertronians that could potentially turn on the Builders. Galva Convoy insisted the Vehicon nanovector could not work on any Cybertronian larger than a Micromaster, but Eject pushed for contingencies. His major score was [[General Order 66]], a hard-wired programming command that prevented the Vehicons from passing above 66 degrees latitude on Cybertron. Since uncontested Iacon was at the north pole and the battle front was all below the 66th, it seemed prudent.

Eject and the Builder Assembly then authorized the deployment of Vehicons, with test runs on the isolated city-states of [[Damaxus]] and [[Carpessa]], followed by a Trojan horse play getting infected Micromasters taken as P.O.W.s to [[Protihex]]. Soon, the Vehicons were in play, and the Resistance was on the run.

Unfortunately, they were running north. The Resistance's cautious advance on the front turned into a mad dash towards the Builder Assembly in Iacon. Even unaware of General Order 66, the Resistance had clearly decided this was their last chance to seize control of Cybertron and possibly stop the Vehicons as well. With Lio Convoy's troops closing in on the High Pavilion, the Assembly ignored Eject's caution and rescinded General Order 66, allowing the Vehicons to come right to their doorstep in the hopes of finding salvation. Foreseeing disaster, Eject readied his helicopter, [[Black-Out]], to reach Hot Rod on the front.

Sure enough, Galva Convoy betrayed the Builder Assembly, assimilating them into the latest formats of his Vehicons. The [[Vehicon Apocalypse]] began, with Builder, Micromaster, and protoformer alike being consumed by it. Seeking allies anywhere he could find, Eject and the surviving Micromaster Assemblybot [[Riker]] approached Lio Convoy on the battlefield. Eject reached out to his old protégé, offering intelligence and transport to the [[Grand Mal]], where Galva Convoy was based.

Black-Out was blasted out of the sky as Eject, Lio Convoy, and his commando team of Resistance troops approached the Grand Mal. Eject took the control and tried to auger in. The rest of the team made it in one piece, but Eject was impaled on a shard of debris when they landed. He apologized to Lio Convoy that they wouldn't have time to settle accounts, then shooed the protoformers out of the helicopter before it caught fire, exploding and consuming everything inside. {{storylink|Derailment}}

Eject was among the Autobots who left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], and spent four million years in stasis after it was shot down over Earth by the Decepticons. As Blaster had been damaged in the crash, Eject was forced to remain inside him until he could be repaired sufficiently to return to combat.

: Released in the third year of [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toyline]], Eject is among the first new-mold cassettes in the line (rather than being pre-''Transformers'' ''[[Microman]]'' toys). He uses the same mold as [[Rewind (G1)#Toys|Rewind]], transforming into a blue microcassette. In this mode, he can fit in the chest compartment of the [[Blaster (G1)#Toys|Blaster]] or [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Soundwave]] toys.

: He was available only in a two-pack with [[Ramhorn (G1)#Toys|Ramhorn]] in the [[Hasbro]] line.

: The initial Hasbro releases of Ramhorn/Eject had chromed-gold weapons; subsequent releases used chromed-silver. There are also [[Variant|variations]] of all new-mold cassettes from this series, in which the cassette back detailing is either a factory-applied foil decal, or painted-on detailing. It is unknown what (if any) correlation there is between the weapon and detailing variants. An even ''later'' variation of Eject (with the painted tape details) has the [[rubsign]] indent on his arm filled in.

: This mold was (much) later used to make [[Flip Sides (G1)#Toys|Flip Sides]], [[Rosanna (KP)#Toys|Rosanna]], [[Solarbot#Toys|Solarbot]], and ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Rewind (SG)#Toys|Rewind]].

Each tape also comes with a clear cassette storage case.

:In 2014, Eject and the rest of the Cassettes were re-released as a lucky draw prize (along with the other two box sets) for the ''Transformers Celebration 2014'' event held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City store's [[Toys"R"Us]], though this was very likely just leftover stock.

However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

In Spain, it was officially available via the Spanish division of Amazon. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft, an online retailer that otherwise specializes in [[Nerf]] blasters and accessories, as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German [[fandom|fan]] sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to Actionfiguren24, a German online retailer that specializes in imported toys, who was able to lower its price for its existing stock of imported Autobot Intel Ops sets as a result.

:*''TakaraTomy release date'': [[July 30]], [[2022]]
:*''Known designers'': [[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)

:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' Voyager Class toys, Eject is included with [[Blaster (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Blaster]]. He transforms from robot to a stereo cassette that can fit into Blaster's chest (as per the norm), as well as inside the chest of any version of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege| Siege]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Soundwave]] mold. While he lacks fist-holes, he features a hexagonal [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] on each of his forearms, though his translucency makes them difficult to notice.

: Arriving in stores in December [[2021]], this set was planned as a [[Rebranding|package refresh]] for ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' wave 1, and to bridge the two lines, Eject is composed of translucent plastic for an "[[Energon|Energon-infused]]" look that fits in with ''Legacy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[play pattern]]... which unfortunately can be fragile when used as part of transformation joints. While he's not been reported to be susceptible to breakage, and his joints are fairly thick... take care, just in case.

: Like Blaster, Eject's unpaintable parts (notably the torso) are prone to [[Photodegradation#Unpaintable_plastics|photodegradation]].

: Though Blaster and Eject were scheduled for a first-quarter 2022 release, they arrived on U.S. store shelves in December 2021.

:Eject was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Rewind (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Rewind]] and ''Legacy: Evolution'' [[Rewind (G1)#Legacy|Rewind]].

==Notes==
*For the original draft of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and several revisions, there was going to be only one humanoid Autobot Mini-Cassette, who was going to be called [[Bolts]].<ref>[http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/heritaage-auctions-transformers-movie.html TFTM script draft at Disciples of Boltax]</ref><ref>[http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/transformers.html Early script for ''The Transformers: The Movie'' at dailyscript.com]</ref> Between the original draft and actual product, Bolts's role was split in two; his attitude and tussle with [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] went to Eject, while his fight with [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ravage]] sort of went to [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]]. During their initial ejection from Blaster however, both Eject and Rewind swap color schemes multiple times for the duration of the scene.

{{toydesigner|[[Hideaki Yoke]] and [[Hiroyuki Obara]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Rather huge by the typical standards of Generation 1 Transformers, Blaster transforms into a miniature [[Non-vehicle non-beast alternate modes|"ghetto blaster" boombox]]. He features spring-loaded buttons: when pressed, his "start" button stays in the depressed position until his "stop" button is pressed, while pressing the "eject" button pops open his tape door, which can store a single [[Mini-Cassette]] Transformer. Due to what was presumably a common internal misassembly issue, many original Blasters had doors which would not open when the eject button is pressed, nor would the other buttons work. Blaster has rather limited useful articulation, located in his neck and shoulders.

: Early versions of Blaster have a back panel that can be removed (with great difficulty) to reveal an empty compartment that originally stored the tape on his Microman source, as the chest door contained the radio. Many reissues retain this while some have omitted it.

**''Accessories:'' Electro-Scrambler Gun

:For this Japanese-exclusive release, Blaster was [[redeco]]ed into a new blue, yellow, and red color scheme vaguely reminiscent of the mold's original ''[[Microman]]'' release (see "Notes" below). Like his contemporary redeco [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#SoundblasterG1|Soundblaster]], his chest door was [[retool]]ed in order to accommodate two cassettes at once, and changed from colorless clear plastic to translucent red as part of a gimmick with his pack-in partner, [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]]. This version of Steeljaw sports a new decal depicting [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], which reveals the Decepticon's weak spot when placed behind Twincast's red door, working in the same manner as a [[Tech Spec]]s decoder.

:Twincast was reissued as an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] in 2006 (see below).

: Part of the second wave of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s, Action Master Blaster (not to be confused with the "Action Master Blasters" price-point) is a 3 3/4-inch non-transforming action figure compatible with any other Action Master vehicle or accessory. His design is based largely on his cartoon model, with elements from the toy added (most notably his eyeguard).

: He came with the "[[Flight Pack|Flight-Pack]]" accessory, which converts from a winged jetpack to a massive "electro-scrambler" cannon.

:A redeco of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Skids (G1)#Alternators|Skids]] (using his frequent redeco [[Crosscut (G1)|Crosscut]]'s colors), Broadblast transforms into a 1:24 scale Toyota bB, aka the {{w|Scion xB}}. He has working doors, hood, and trunk, plus his engine becomes a non-firing weapon. He also comes with an extra decal sheet, which includes signs for "TBN" which ''possibly'' stands for "Transformers Broadcast Network" or some such; there is Japanese text on the labels as well, but it's really tiny and hard to make out.

:Blaster's first reissue was the final installment in Takara's ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of re-released Generation 1 toys.

:*''Accessories'': "Electro-scrambler gun"

: Twincast's first reissue was available as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]'' line exclusively through online retailer [[e-HOBBY]], designed, as most e-HOBBY [[exclusive]]s were at the time, to accompany the mass-release of the standard reissue of the original Blaster. The only notable difference from the original Twincast was the absence of an Autobot sigil on his left upper arm.

: Though Twincast was unusual in that he was a pre-existing character, where the previous few years' worth of e-HOBBY exclusive redecos had been new characters, he did come packaged with a new partner: a redeco of the Eject/Rewind mold named [[Flip Sides (G1)#Toys|Flip Sides]]. At the time, rather than feature unique packaging, all e-HOBBY exclusives came in a generic box in Autobot red or Decepticon purple; Twincast came in a Decepticon box, but since Flip Sides was characterized as a Decepticon sleeper agent, it just about made sense. This pack was shipped out to buyers in April 2006.

{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Blaster is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Soundwave (Cybertron)#Toys|Soundwave]], transforming into a Cybertronic stealth bomber vaguely like an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-117A Nighthawk prototype]], the {{w|Have Blue}}. He comes with three hexagonal prism "bombs"; one converts into his partner [[Blockrock#Toys|Blockrock]], the other two unfold into non-firing blaster weapons. Any one of these "bombs" can be stored in his [[robot mode]] chest, which opens by plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into him; Blaster comes with a translucent black, gunmetal-bordered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style Autobot key, in contrast to the [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] key that came with Soundwave. The other two bombs store in indents on the underside of his wings.

:His packaging art shows him with only half of his chest-door as clear-blue, emulating the original toy design's tape-window, but the final product (and stock photography) show the blue all the way across. However, his visor ''does'' have red paint to simulate the "goggle visor" look of the [[#Generation 1|original toy]] and Marvel comics model.

:This mold was also used to make ''Galaxy Force'' [[Logos Prime#Toys|Soundblaster]].

*'''Broad Blast''' ([[July 24]], 2010)
**''Accessories:'' USB cable

:''[[Transformers Device Label|Device Label]]'' "Broad Blast" (renamed for reasons unknown) transforms into a replica Toshiba Qosmio laptop computer, complete with flip-up screen. In both modes(!) he is a fully functional USB hub (USB 1.1-2.0 compatible), with four "Type A" ports, and a single "Mini A" port. He comes with an ''exceedingly'' short Mini-A-to-Type-A cable, which you're probably gonna want to replace if you're gonna use him with a desktop computer setup.

: In robot mode, his chest is designed to accommodate the original [[Mini-Cassette]] toys, though they cannot stay in there in laptop mode, due to Broad Blast's head being inside his chest in this form. He has [[5 mm post|5 mm fist holes]], which means he can use the original Blaster toy's rifle if you so wish.

: Early stock imagery [[:File:Device Label Broadcast.jpg|showed him with a Windows XP home screen]] on his monitor portion, but the final toy instead uses a red screen with the Autobot symbol.

:Originally scheduled for release in late [[2009]], Broad Blast was delayed until July 2010. According to a report from getnews.jp at the Tokyo Toy Show 2010, the delay was due to the discovery of a connection cut-off problem after the toy/USB hub is transformed into robot mode. TakaraTomy redesigned the entire lower body to fix this problem.<ref>[http://getnews.jp/archives/68064 Get News.jp report on Device Label Broadblast]</ref>

Also to add to cartoon accuracy, his face is colored in a metallic yellow with metallic light blue eyes instead of silver with gold eyes. All of the original Twincast's stickers have been replaced with tampographed detailing for this release, including a large Autobot symbol on his chest (where the techno detail was present on previous releases).

Like the [[#Hasbroreissue|''Universe'' reissue]], Blaster features metal-flake beige legs.

:In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, though it was initially only ever found at a single Target store, otherwise only available via the company's website. It was later revealed that multiple Target stores had kept it in their stockroom and eventually put it out on instant clearance many months later. However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

:In the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and officially available via the UK division of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], making this the first official UK release of all the toys contained within! In Spain, it was officially available via the Spanish division of Amazon. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft, an online retailer that otherwise specializes in [[Nerf]] blasters and accessories, as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German [[fandom|fan]] sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to Actionfiguren24, a German online retailer that specializes in imported toys, who was able to lower its price for its existing stock of imported Autobot Intel Ops sets as a result.

**''Accessories:'' [[Twin Cast#Toys|Twin Cast]] Titan Master partner, rifle, "rocket-sled"/remote control
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:Blaster is part of the first wave of Leader Class ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' figures, and comes with his [[Titan Master]] partner, [[Twin Cast]], who transforms into his head. In addition to his classic robot and boombox alternate modes, he can also transform into a base mode that can link up to the other base modes in the toyline, and features numerous 5 mm mounting points for weapons and Titan Master vehicles and turrets, as well as tiny pegs to accommodate many other Titan Master figures. He includes a "rocket-sled" that is stylized to look like a remote for when Blaster is in boombox mode; it comes with a seat for a Titan Master pilot which forms the topmost turret of his base mode. The sled stores inside Blaster's chest compartment in other modes; a notch is cut into its underside to store Twin Cast while Blaster is in boombox mode. Blaster's chest compartment is also capable of holding Legends Class 'spy-tablet' figures, although this negates the ability to store Twin Cast in Boombox mode. He has several (non-functional) ports molded into his back and legs capable of accommodating real-life USB cables, headphone jacks, and power cables.

:Blaster's helmet, modeled after the Marvel comics design, is made of translucent plastic, which is painted everywhere except the visor. Despite this, the visor's placement does not vertically align with Twin Cast's eyes in head mode, leaving his brow the only thing visible. This was apparently done to evoke the appearance of black "shades".

:[[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Titans Return|Fortress Maximus]]'s box and instructions depict him as part of the [[Cybertron City (TR)|Cybertron City]] combination. Meanwhile, the "Siege on Cybertron" instructions name him as a part of the [[Nemesis Command]] combination, albeit shown using the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Titans Return|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] toy instead. Hilariously, one of the Chinese-English bilingual instructions showcasing Nemesis Command had Blaster's name written as "汽车人的枪“, which literally translates as "'''Autobot's Gun'''".

:He was later [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed into ''Titans Return'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]] and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Bumblebee|Soundwave]]. He is mis-transformed in both his stock photography and in-package: his radio handle isn't collapsed down.

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Broadcast is a redeco of [[#Titans Return|''Titans Return'' Leader Class Blaster]], and features a deco based on both his toy and cartoon appearances. Notably, his small Headmaster form's colors are based on Twincast, his rebuilt form, which results in a blue visor in robot mode.

**''Accessories'': Electro-Scrambler Gun #2

:''[[Vintage|Vintage G1]]'' "Autobot Blaster" is a cassette-less reissue of the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]], packaged in a nostalgic Generation 1-styled box. Unique to this release, the box better reflects traditional ''Vintage G1'' boxes vs. more modern, thicker cardboard & features a plastic tray. This release appears to use bronze/beige coloring to the legs, as seen in the previous ''[[#Hasbroreissue|Universe (2008)]]'' and ''[[#Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' releases. Unlike [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|''Vintage G1'' Soundwave]], Blaster includes a [[rubsign]], which -as per usual with the line- has a mirror-like silver border and solid red symbol. This release also has a new molding stamp reflecting its production in Vietnam, in addition to modern black ink markings. The included Electro-Scrambler Gun is a reuse of the #2 mold, and is difficult to tell apart from its vintage counterpart.

:Blaster prevailed over [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] in a Hasbro poll to choose a second ''Vintage G1'' release to follow after [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|Astrotrain]], winning with 56% of the vote.

:In the United States and Canada, this figure, like all ''Vintage G1'' releases, is exclusive to [[Walmart]].

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of wave 5 of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' Voyager Class toys, Blaster transforms from robot to stereo cassette deck in 20 steps. He comes with his [[electro-scrambler]] rifle and [[Eject (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Eject]], which transforms into a mini-cassette that fits in Blaster's chest. Eject is molded in translucent blue, as Blaster was originally a ''Legacy'' toy pulled forward a wave, and that toyline's gimmick is [[Energon]] weapons (and partners). Along those lines, Blaster's [[packaging art]] depicts his Electro-Scrambler rifle being blue Energon painted partly black. The actual accessory, however, is molded in black plastic. Blaster's audio dial has 11 sound levels - yes, he "goes to 11", a reference to the rock-and-roll mockumentary ''{{w|This Is Spinal Tap}}''.

:Blaster's spring-loaded chest compartment can be opened by pressing on the buttons directly below it. Like the ''[[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' and ''[[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' figures of his Decepticon counterpart, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], Blaster features a sculpted extended index finger, allowing one to simulate poses of him pressing his buttons. Blaster's chest can also accommodate Soundwave's ''Siege'' Micromaster minions and their remolds, as well as [[Rumble (G1)/toys#Studio Series|the blue cassette from Studio Series]].

:Like nearly half of the toys since ''Earthrise'', Blaster is a victim of [[Photodegradation#Unpaintable plastics|photodegradation]], as his unpaintable joints are prone to yellowing.

:Though Blaster and Eject were scheduled for a first-quarter 2022 release, they arrived on U.S. store shelves in December 2021.

:Blaster was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Blaster (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Blaster]].

: ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' Voyager Class Twincast is a redeco and new-head retool of the above ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Voyager [[#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Blaster]] as the character's revived form from ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'', now featuring a smirking expression instead of the original Blaster's stoic look. He still includes a cassette bot partner, this time being [[Rewind (G1)#Legacy|Rewind]]—who is similarly cast in translucent plastic. He also includes an electro-scrambler rifle, which is the same black coloration included with Blaster and not red as with the original toy or the cartoon. His "[[Evo-Fusion]]" ability is attaching the rifle to one of the 5 mm holes on the back of the radio mode, mimicking the look of an antenna. Unfortunately, unlike his [[#TwincastG1|original toy]], [[:File:TV-Magazine-Soundblaster-Twincast.jpg|cartoon appearance]] and the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''/''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Soundblaster (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Soundblaster]], Twincast doesn't feature a retooled larger cassette door to house more than one cassette.

: [[Ben MacCrae]] introduced Twincast in his [[Hasbro Pulse]] stream reveal as "[[Twincast|a clone that didn't work out so well for Shockwave as planned]]."

: Notably, this marks the first release of Twincast in Hasbro markets, as all other releases of the character have been exclusive to Japan.

**''Accessories:'' Electro-scrambler gun

:A snap-together model kit of Blaster was released by [[Kabaya]] as part of their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line of candy toys. Released in the third wave of the line and sculpted from red, grey and black plastic with a few stickers for detail, Blaster is broadly identical to his larger figure, right down to the moulded-in left-over details from his ''Micro Change'' release like his power switch and dials . There is one major difference: his chest does not open, so he can't store any of the tapes from Kabaya's smaller ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line the way the ''Transformers Gum'' Soundwave can.

**''ID number:'' '''Collection No. 1'''

: Blaster was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines, and sold in one of a series of large boxed sets. Like all the Autobots in the series, Blaster was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games (sold separately) that could be played with the figurines.

: He was available in in the first big 22-pack of figurines, which also included [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Decoy|Bluestreak]], [[Brawn (G1)#Decoy|Brawn]], [[Grapple (G1)#Decoy|Grapple]], [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Decoy|Hoist]], [[Hound (G1)/toys#Decoy|Hound]], [[Huffer (G1)#Decoy|Huffer]], [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Decoy|Ironhide]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Decoy|Jazz]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Decoy|Mirage]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Decoy|Optimus Prime]], [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Decoy|Ratchet]], [[Red Alert (G1)#Decoy|Red Alert]], [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Decoy|Sideswipe]], [[Skids (G1)#Decoy|Skids]], [[Smokescreen (G1)#Decoy|Smokescreen]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Decoy|Sunstreaker]], [[Swoop (G1)#Decoy|Swoop]], [[Tracks (G1)#Decoy|Tracks]], [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Decoy|Wheeljack]], and [[Windcharger (G1)#Decoy|Windcharger]].

*'''Broadcast''' (Gashapon keshi, 1986)

: All fifty-three of the Transformers ''keshi'' were also available individually in Japan through "gashapon" capsule machines (presumably in Takara's own "[[Gacha]]"-branded machines), in a variety of different colors including red, blue, yellow, green, orange, sky blue, pink, tan and white. Given the random nature of their purchase and comparative paucity on the secondary market, we can't say with certainty that every one of the fifty-three figures was available in every single one of the different colors... but, hey, this ''is'' Japan we're talking about, so chances are pretty good they were.

==Notes==
[[File:MicroChangeRadiCassRobo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*Blaster began life as the ''[[Micro Change]]'' "Radi-Casse Robo" ("radio-cassette", you see), which was actually a functional AM radio. Though this feature was gutted from Blaster when he was released as part of the ''Transformers'' toyline, the original toy's power switch (on his right leg), earphone jack (on the back of his left leg) and tuning dial (on his chest) still remain, now as moulded, non-moving details. Even the toy's electro-scrambler gun is designed to serve as storage for the mono earphone which came with the toy, with the plug inserting into the stock, the cord winding around it, and the earphone itself tucking into the hole in the gun's main body. It was not the toy itself which was the radio; rather, the radio was a small "micro-cassette" which plugged into the toy's internal wiring when inserted into its chest, allowing it to play through the speakers in its legs in either mode. As the electronic equipment in the chest meant that the figure could not hold normal ''Micro Change'' cassettes there, it featured a compartment on its back which could hold a single tape instead. This compartment could still be found on some early releases of Blaster, though it was often mistaken by fans as a vestigial battery compartment, which was actually originally located in the toy's right leg.

: Rather huge by the typical standards of Generation 1 Transformers, Blaster transforms into a miniature [[Non-vehicle non-beast alternate modes|"ghetto blaster" boombox]]. He features spring-loaded buttons: when pressed, his "start" button stays in the depressed position until his "stop" button is pressed, while pressing the "eject" button pops open his tape door, which can store a single [[Mini-Cassette]] Transformer. Due to what was presumably a common internal misassembly issue, many original Blasters had doors which would not open when the eject button is pressed, nor would the other buttons work. Blaster has rather limited useful articulation, located in his neck and shoulders.

: Early versions of Blaster have a back panel that can be removed (with great difficulty) to reveal an empty compartment that originally stored the tape on his Microman source, as the chest door contained the radio. Many reissues retain this while some have omitted it.

:For this Japanese-exclusive release, Blaster was [[redeco]]ed into a new blue, yellow, and red color scheme vaguely reminiscent of the mold's original ''[[Microman]]'' release (see "Notes" below). Like his contemporary redeco [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#SoundblasterG1|Soundblaster]], his chest door was [[retool]]ed in order to accommodate two cassettes at once, and changed from colorless clear plastic to translucent red as part of a gimmick with his pack-in partner, [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]]. This version of Steeljaw sports a new decal depicting [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], which reveals the Decepticon's weak spot when placed behind Twincast's red door, working in the same manner as a [[Tech Spec]]s decoder.

: Part of the second wave of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s, Action Master Blaster (not to be confused with the "Action Master Blasters" price-point) is a 3 3/4-inch non-transforming action figure compatible with any other Action Master vehicle or accessory. His design is based largely on his cartoon model, with elements from the toy added (most notably his eyeguard).

: He came with the "[[Flight Pack|Flight-Pack]]" accessory, which converts from a winged jetpack to a massive "electro-scrambler" cannon.

:A redeco of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Skids (G1)#Alternators|Skids]] (using his frequent redeco [[Crosscut (G1)|Crosscut]]'s colors), Broadblast transforms into a 1:24 scale Toyota bB, aka the {{w|Scion xB}}. He has working doors, hood, and trunk, plus his engine becomes a non-firing weapon. He also comes with an extra decal sheet, which includes signs for "TBN" which ''possibly'' stands for "Transformers Broadcast Network" or some such; there is Japanese text on the labels as well, but it's really tiny and hard to make out.

: Twincast's first reissue was available as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]'' line exclusively through online retailer [[e-HOBBY]], designed, as most e-HOBBY [[exclusive]]s were at the time, to accompany the mass-release of the standard reissue of the original Blaster. The only notable difference from the original Twincast was the absence of an Autobot sigil on his left upper arm.

: Though Twincast was unusual in that he was a pre-existing character, where the previous few years' worth of e-HOBBY exclusive redecos had been new characters, he did come packaged with a new partner: a redeco of the Eject/Rewind mold named [[Flip Sides (G1)#Toys|Flip Sides]]. At the time, rather than feature unique packaging, all e-HOBBY exclusives came in a generic box in Autobot red or Decepticon purple; Twincast came in a Decepticon box, but since Flip Sides was characterized as a Decepticon sleeper agent, it just about made sense. This pack was shipped out to buyers in April 2006.

:Blaster is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Soundwave (Cybertron)#Toys|Soundwave]], transforming into a Cybertronic stealth bomber vaguely like an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-117A Nighthawk prototype]], the {{w|Have Blue}}. He comes with three hexagonal prism "bombs"; one converts into his partner [[Blockrock#Toys|Blockrock]], the other two unfold into non-firing blaster weapons. Any one of these "bombs" can be stored in his [[robot mode]] chest, which opens by plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into him; Blaster comes with a translucent black, gunmetal-bordered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style Autobot key, in contrast to the [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] key that came with Soundwave. The other two bombs store in indents on the underside of his wings.

:His packaging art shows him with only half of his chest-door as clear-blue, emulating the original toy design's tape-window, but the final product (and stock photography) show the blue all the way across. However, his visor ''does'' have red paint to simulate the "goggle visor" look of the [[#Generation 1|original toy]] and Marvel comics model.

:This mold was also used to make ''Galaxy Force'' [[Logos Prime#Toys|Soundblaster]].

*'''Broad Blast''' ([[July 24]], 2010)
**''Accessories:'' USB cable

:''[[Transformers Device Label|Device Label]]'' "Broad Blast" (renamed for reasons unknown) transforms into a replica Toshiba Qosmio laptop computer, complete with flip-up screen. In both modes(!) he is a fully functional USB hub (USB 1.1-2.0 compatible), with four "Type A" ports, and a single "Mini A" port. He comes with an ''exceedingly'' short Mini-A-to-Type-A cable, which you're probably gonna want to replace if you're gonna use him with a desktop computer setup.

: In robot mode, his chest is designed to accommodate the original [[Mini-Cassette]] toys, though they cannot stay in there in laptop mode, due to Broad Blast's head being inside his chest in this form. He has [[5 mm post|5 mm fist holes]], which means he can use the original Blaster toy's rifle if you so wish.

: Early stock imagery [[:File:Device Label Broadcast.jpg|showed him with a Windows XP home screen]] on his monitor portion, but the final toy instead uses a red screen with the Autobot symbol.

:Originally scheduled for release in late [[2009]], Broad Blast was delayed until July 2010. According to a report from getnews.jp at the Tokyo Toy Show 2010, the delay was due to the discovery of a connection cut-off problem after the toy/USB hub is transformed into robot mode. TakaraTomy redesigned the entire lower body to fix this problem.<ref>[http://getnews.jp/archives/68064 Get News.jp report on Device Label Broadblast]</ref>

:In the United States, this set was officially a [[Target]] exclusive, though it was initially only ever found at a single Target store, otherwise only available via the company's website. It was later revealed that multiple Target stores had kept it in their stockroom and eventually put it out on instant clearance many months later. However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers [[BigBadToyStore]] and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores.

:In the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and officially available via the UK division of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], making this the first official UK release of all the toys contained within! In Spain, it was officially available via the Spanish division of Amazon. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft, an online retailer that otherwise specializes in [[Nerf]] blasters and accessories, as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German [[fandom|fan]] sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to Actionfiguren24, a German online retailer that specializes in imported toys, who was able to lower its price for its existing stock of imported Autobot Intel Ops sets as a result.

**''Accessories:'' [[Twin Cast#Toys|Twin Cast]] Titan Master partner, rifle, "rocket-sled"/remote control
{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:Blaster is part of the first wave of Leader Class ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' figures, and comes with his [[Titan Master]] partner, [[Twin Cast]], who transforms into his head. In addition to his classic robot and boombox alternate modes, he can also transform into a base mode that can link up to the other base modes in the toyline, and features numerous 5 mm mounting points for weapons and Titan Master vehicles and turrets, as well as tiny pegs to accommodate many other Titan Master figures. He includes a "rocket-sled" that is stylized to look like a remote for when Blaster is in boombox mode; it comes with a seat for a Titan Master pilot which forms the topmost turret of his base mode. The sled stores inside Blaster's chest compartment in other modes; a notch is cut into its underside to store Twin Cast while Blaster is in boombox mode. Blaster's chest compartment is also capable of holding Legends Class 'spy-tablet' figures, although this negates the ability to store Twin Cast in Boombox mode. He has several (non-functional) ports molded into his back and legs capable of accommodating real-life USB cables, headphone jacks, and power cables.

:Blaster's helmet, modeled after the Marvel comics design, is made of translucent plastic, which is painted everywhere except the visor. Despite this, the visor's placement does not vertically align with Twin Cast's eyes in head mode, leaving his brow the only thing visible. This was apparently done to evoke the appearance of black "shades".

:[[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Titans Return|Fortress Maximus]]'s box and instructions depict him as part of the [[Cybertron City (TR)|Cybertron City]] combination. Meanwhile, the "Siege on Cybertron" instructions name him as a part of the [[Nemesis Command]] combination, albeit shown using the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Titans Return|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] toy instead. Hilariously, one of the Chinese-English bilingual instructions showcasing Nemesis Command had Blaster's name written as "汽车人的枪“, which literally translates as "'''Autobot's Gun'''".

:He was later [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed into ''Titans Return'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]] and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Bumblebee|Soundwave]]. He is mis-transformed in both his stock photography and in-package: his radio handle isn't collapsed down.

:''[[Vintage|Vintage G1]]'' "Autobot Blaster" is a cassette-less reissue of the [[#The Transformers|Generation 1 toy]], packaged in a nostalgic Generation 1-styled box. Unique to this release, the box better reflects traditional ''Vintage G1'' boxes vs. more modern, thicker cardboard & features a plastic tray. This release appears to use bronze/beige coloring to the legs, as seen in the previous ''[[#Hasbroreissue|Universe (2008)]]'' and ''[[#Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' releases. Unlike [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|''Vintage G1'' Soundwave]], Blaster includes a [[rubsign]], which -as per usual with the line- has a mirror-like silver border and solid red symbol. This release also has a new molding stamp reflecting its production in Vietnam, in addition to modern black ink markings. The included Electro-Scrambler Gun is a reuse of the #2 mold, and is difficult to tell apart from its vintage counterpart.

:Blaster prevailed over [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] in a Hasbro poll to choose a second ''Vintage G1'' release to follow after [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|Astrotrain]], winning with 56% of the vote.

:Part of wave 5 of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' Voyager Class toys, Blaster transforms from robot to stereo cassette deck in 20 steps. He comes with his [[electro-scrambler]] rifle and [[Eject (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Eject]], which transforms into a mini-cassette that fits in Blaster's chest. Eject is molded in translucent blue, as Blaster was originally a ''Legacy'' toy pulled forward a wave, and that toyline's gimmick is [[Energon]] weapons (and partners). Along those lines, Blaster's [[packaging art]] depicts his Electro-Scrambler rifle being blue Energon painted partly black. The actual accessory, however, is molded in black plastic. Blaster's audio dial has 11 sound levels - yes, he "goes to 11", a reference to the rock-and-roll mockumentary ''{{w|This Is Spinal Tap}}''.

:Blaster's spring-loaded chest compartment can be opened by pressing on the buttons directly below it. Like the ''[[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' and ''[[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' figures of his Decepticon counterpart, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], Blaster features a sculpted extended index finger, allowing one to simulate poses of him pressing his buttons. Blaster's chest can also accommodate Soundwave's ''Siege'' Micromaster minions and their remolds, as well as [[Rumble (G1)/toys#Studio Series|the blue cassette from Studio Series]].

:Like nearly half of the toys since ''Earthrise'', Blaster is a victim of [[Photodegradation#Unpaintable plastics|photodegradation]], as his unpaintable joints are prone to yellowing.

: The figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number.

: Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot#Toys|Throttlebots]], [[Aerialbot (G1)#Toys|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)#Toys|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)#Toys|Technobots]].

*'''Blaster''' (Booster, <s>2007</s>)

:Blaster was likely to have been one of several ''Transformers [[Attacktix]]'' Booster pieces, using a powerful spring-loaded "blaster" missile launcher attack. Though displayed as part of the ''Attacktix'' display at the ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' "Celebration IV" convention, he —and all the other pieces revealed at the show— were ultimately never released.

==Notes==
[[File:MicroChangeRadiCassRobo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*Blaster began life as the ''[[Micro Change]]'' "Radi-Casse Robo" ("radio-cassette", you see), which was actually a functional AM radio. Though this feature was gutted from Blaster when he was released as part of the ''Transformers'' toyline, the original toy's power switch (on his right leg), earphone jack (on the back of his left leg) and tuning dial (on his chest) still remain, now as moulded, non-moving details. Even the toy's electro-scrambler gun is designed to serve as storage for the mono earphone which came with the toy, with the plug inserting into the stock, the cord winding around it, and the earphone itself tucking into the hole in the gun's main body. It was not the toy itself which was the radio; rather, the radio was a small "micro-cassette" which plugged into the toy's internal wiring when inserted into its chest, allowing it to play through the speakers in its legs in either mode. As the electronic equipment in the chest meant that the figure could not hold normal ''Micro Change'' cassettes there, it featured a compartment on its back which could hold a single tape instead. This compartment could still be found on some early releases of Blaster, though it was often mistaken by fans as a vestigial battery compartment, which was actually originally located in the toy's right leg.

Studio Series

2024-03-07T22:45:47Z

Wtrz: /* 2024 */ Blaster is confirmed to be a Target exclusive.

{{nav-studio}}
[[File:StudioSeries-01-MV1-Deluxe-Bumblebee-w backdrop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|From L'Oreal]]
First revealed at New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''' (aka '''''Transformers: Studio Series'''''), acts as a celebration under the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' banner of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented. It has to date also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'', the sixth and seventh films in the [[live-action film series]].

Each figure from the Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class assortments is numbered, with an indication of their movie of origin. The same also applies to store exclusive figures and multi-packs. All figures also come with a cardboard backdrop–the eponymous "studio"<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's called "Studio Series" partly because Hasbro envisioned fans using the included backdrops as miniature "studios" when taking photos of the toys for social media.|link=https://twitter.com/tfwiki/status/1136078338706104320|name=Transformers Wiki (Matthew Karpowich)|site=Twitter|year=2019|month=06|day=05}}</ref>–depicting a notable scene from their respective fictional appearance. In some instances, backdrops are repeated between separate figures representing the same scene. If those figures are released as part of different [[size class]]es, the backdrops are rescaled accordingly.

With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same [[size class]]; 18 Deluxe Bumblebee is shorter than Jazz and 01 Bumblebee, who are in turn shorter than Ratchet and Lockdown.

The toyline boasts a greater accuracy than previous lines, due its focus on relative scale and its making use of CG models pulled from the films (or games) for reference (though this does fall short for early ''Bumblebee''/''Rise of the Beasts'' toys). ''Studio Series'' also explores toys for characters who had none before, or were left to a smaller size class.

====Exclusives====
The earliest exclusives in ''Studio Series'' were hit hard by the bankruptcy of [[Toys"R"Us]] in several countries. Thundercracker was only available for a very short window at TRU, and only in store. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was also intended for Toys"R"Us, but ultimately only released that way in Canada, which still had Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. Both releases were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], Entertainment Earth, ToyWiz, and TFSource.

The Bumblebee Then & Now Two-pack was exclusive to [[Target]] and BigBadToyStore in the United States and to Kmart in Australia; the Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later also made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]; and the Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set appears to have been an "online exclusive" shared between the same retailers that offered Thundercracker and Bumblebee/Charlie. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was ''also'' available at GameStop stores in the United States, ''and'' both sets were ''also'' listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' ''Previews'' catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from Walmart or Target.

Meanwhile, in Hasbro Asia markets: a special Bumblebee with battle damage deco was [[Campaign item|given away]] to customers who purchased at least 100 SGD of ''Studio Series'' and/or ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' products in Singaporean Toys"R"Us stores; and in China, the purchase of ''Studio Series'' products from Hasbro's official TaoBao online shop on May 15, 2018, entered buyers into a lucky draw with the chance of receiving one of 300 battle damaged Bumblebees or one of 88 Blackouts in camouflage deco.

====Exclusives====
As with the previous year's Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway, the Drift and Baby Dinobots set was available from multiple online retailers. Battle Damaged Megatron was first found stocked by Hong Kong shops, long before it was available both online and in store at Toys"R"Us in Canada and Target in the U.S.

"As Seen In Parks" Megatron was officially exclusive to Universal Studios, but was released (almost a ''year'' after he had been officially revealed) in Hasbro's Asian markets first. Due to the global {{w|COVID-19 pandemic}}, the toy was only released exclusively to online retailers in the U.S.

===2021===
For [[2021]]'s new product, ''Studio Series'' started to include characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary. These toys feature a separate numbering system in Hasbro markets that utilizes "86" before the number of the respective figure. The '86 figures follow the same style, scale and play pattern of those from the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' toylines, complete with [[Fire Blast effect]] compatibility and [[5 mm post|5 mm port]]s that can support [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System|Weaponizers]] and [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology|Fossilizers]].

===2022===
In [[2022]], ''Studio Series'' adopted the Core Class price point that debuted in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' line, producing both characters too small for Deluxe Class as well as pocket-sized versions of the main cast like in [[Legends Class (2005)|days of yore]]. Notably, unlike the larger figures in the line, the toys in the Core Class are not numbered.

===2023===
''Studio Series'' expanded in scope in [[2023]], not only with toys for ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]''–the first new ''Transformers'' movie since the line's early days–but also into the world of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game. Toys from the latter imprint feature a separate numbering system that we've chosen to represent as beginning with a plus (+), though the actual toy packaging stylises the symbol as a little D-pad. Neat! It also introduced the Commander Class range of figures, starting with Ultra Magnus which was revealed at SDCC 2023.

===2024===
[[2024]] marked another first for ''Studio Series'' with the introduction of figures marked as "Concept Art" releases, based on character designs created for films but which ultimately did not appear in the finished product. ''Bumblebee'', having left a variety of designs on the cutting room floor during its tumultuous post-production, was the primary source for this initial round of "Concept Art" releases.

With the exception of the Deluxes, the first wave was made available early alongside ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy_United|Legacy United]]'' products at [[Cybertron Fest|Cybertron Fest 2023]].

===Cancelled releases===
====Target exclusives====
In late 2022, a second wave of that year's ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Deluxe Class assortment was briefly listed by the wholesaler NDA Toys, revealing the existence, and robot-mode images, of ''Studio Series'' toys for ''The Transformers: The Movie'' Hound and ''Dark of the Moon'' Hatchet. While there are a pair of conspicuous gaps in the ''Studio Series'' numbering system that would seem to imply the figures were originally intended as late 2022 releases, Hasbro has yet to officially acknowledge the toys' existence since the wholesale listing's brief appearance and disappearance, leaving it unclear when, or if, they will ultimately see release. As of January 2024, it has been reported that Target opted to cancel their release of Hound and Hatchet due to poor sales of their previous 2022 assortment of ''Buzzworthy'' Deluxe Class figures, leaving Hasbro with no other place available to release the pair at the time.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/original-plans-for-individual-releases-of-hatchet-and-earth-mode-hound-were-cancelled/48011/ "Original Plans for Individual Releases of Hatchet and Earth Mode Hound were Cancelled"] at Seibertron.</ref> Notably, tooling from Hound subsequently surfaced in multiple 2023 ''[[Transformers: Legacy#Legacy: Evolution|Legacy]]'' releases, with [[Detritus (G1)#Legacy|Detritus]] being an entire redeco of the figure, while just the weapon accessories were also included to supplement [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Legacy|G2 Universe Autobot Jazz]].

Hound himself eventually resurfaced in a [[Generations_Selects_(toyline)#Hasbro|Generations Selects]] [[Hound (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|5-pack exclusive]], though there's no news of Hatchet being released as of this moment.

==TakaraTomy ''Studio Series'' toyline==
Similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in Takara's '''''Transformers Studio Series''''' (トランスフォーマースタジオシリーズ ''Toransufōmā Sutajio Shirīzu'') line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]], much like the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece#Masterpiece Movie Series|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro release, since some of the exclusives are not released in Japan. Introduced to the line in 2021, Takara includes characters from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' in its pre-existing ''Studio Series'' numbering system, whereas Hasbro assigns them ID numbers prefixed by "86". Takara also assigns ID numbers to Core Class figures, which go unnumbered in Hasbro markets. From wave 4 through wave 12, the packages featured the franchise's 35th anniversary logo.

In 2021, Takara decided to go back to its old ways and launched the exclusive ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' toyline, featuring rereleases of some ''Studio Series'' figures with much more movie-accurate decoes.

==Notes==
*In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very ''existence'' of the ''Studio Series'' general retail line-up, though not the actual title "Studio Series" yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for "2017" instead of 2018 (which included dates ''predating'' the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. It wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro ''finally'' acknowledged the existence of the ''Studio Series'' line, and revealed the first few [[wave]]s during New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website. Simultaneously, [[TakaraTomy]] revealed their version of the line at [[Wonder Festival]] Winter 2018.
*Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were ''not'' officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their "[[Hasbro Pulse]]" Instagram account a few days before [[San Diego Comic-Con]], even though they ''still'' hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
* Like with previous movie-based lines, ''Studio Series'' also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. This time, the "theme" for those code names was "Australian race horses":
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Stryker"
:::*Dropkick: "Blue Lightning" or "Blue Light"
:::*Megatron: "Fox"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Radar"
:::*KSI Sentry: "Sentry"
:::*Shadow Raider: "Mercenary"
:::*Shatter: "Red Lightning" or "Red Light"
}}
:The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even ''had'' code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Barricade]] from the [[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|''Bumblebee'' movie toy line]], with which the ''Studio Series'' shares its code names.
*A few of the Voyagers and Deluxes of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Generations .28Series M4.29|previous]] [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|two]] movie toylines scale fairly well with ''Studio Series'' figures. The latter of the two toylines, ''The Last Knight'', seems to have a greater tie-in to the ''Studio Series'' lineup, as a [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|few]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|molds]] [[Cogman#Deluxe|were]] also redecoed in this toyline as well [[Nitro Zeus#Toys|as a]] [[Drift (AOE)#Premier Edition|few]] [[Berserker#Toys|retools]]. Furthermore, the static figurine of [[Quintessa (TLK)|Quintessa]] scales perfectly among these molds and also seems to serve as an inspiration for later pack-in figurines like [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]], [[Brains]] and the [[Mini Dinobot]]s.
*One of the biggest [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|misconceptions]] surrounding the ''Studio Series'' toyline is that there is a [[Subline imprint|subline]] called "Studio Series 86". This came about from leaked listings on Walmart's website where the number "86" was misinterpreted as part of the toyline's title, rather than the ID numbers of those toys. While the toys based on characters from the [[1986]] movie do feature a separate numbering system, the line itself doesn't acknowledge them as being any different from the live-action movie toys they are sold alongside.
**While it has never been confirmed, the move to include 1986 characters in the ''Studio Series'' toyline after three years of continuous focus on the live-action films, was likely done to allow Hasbro and TakaraTomy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film, without stepping on the toes of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' 25th anniversary, which was celebrated as a part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''. Evidence suggesting this is the inclusion of some of the film's main characters ([[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Cyclonus]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Kingdom|Galvatron]]) being sold in the concurrently-ran ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline and the shared design aesthetics of the toys between both lines.
*Despite ''Studio Series''<nowiki>'</nowiki> prominently featured numbering system, there are several numbers missing from the line, as of writing these being: 86-18 and 94. Additionally, 79, 86-13, 86-20, 86-24, 95, 96, and 102 are missing, but are assigned to the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' version of the line, though it is unclear if there are any plans for them to be released in the regular ''Studio Series'' line as well. 74 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee is the only set so far to be re-released in the regular line after debuting in ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee''.
**TakaraTomy's version of the line has skipped over "72" for unknown reasons.
**Junkion Scrapheap and ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Ironhide both use the 86-24 number, the first time the same number has been used for different characters between the two lines.

'''Cliffjumper''' has a lot of toys. Although none of them are traitors, they're mostly red Bumblebees.

[[File:G1 Cliffjumper toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|For 28 years, this was his only toy that wasn't a Bumblebee redeco or retool.]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984/1985)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''13'''
{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the original 1984 range of Autobot [[Mini Vehicle]]s, Cliffjumper began life as a ''[[Micro Change]]'' "MC-04 #01 {{w|Porsche 924}} Turbo", a [[super deformed]] "[[Choro-Q|Penny Racer]]"-style representation of the real car. Though broadly similar in construction to [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Bumblebee]] and commonly called a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of him by fans, Cliffjumper is actually an entirely different mold that just uses the same [[transformation]] scheme. This confusion was not helped by the fact that both Cliffjumper and Bumblebee were released in both red and yellow during the first two years of the Generation 1 toyline; a move designed to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref>

: In 1984, Cliffjumper and the other Mini Vehicles came packaged in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]; in 1985, they were switched to come in [[robot mode]], a change preceded by the addition of a picture of their vehicle modes to the front of their cards. The same year, the Autobot [[insignia]] on Cliffjumper's roof/chest was replaced with a heat-activated [[rubsign]]. Later in 1985, Cliffjumper and the Mini-Vehicles came packaged with [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]].

: When he was released in Japan in 1985, "Cliff" came in a small box rather than a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol.

: Cliffjumper was also sold in several countries south of the US in a wide variety of colors, which are covered in individual entries below (simply to keep this entry from getting too cluttered).

: A yellow version of the [[Microman]] "MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG" mold was also available packaged on Cliffjumper cards. As an entirely different mold, this toy was not regarded as a variant of Cliffjumper, but rather as a separate character that the fandom christened "[[Bumper (G1)#Toys|Bumper]]".

[[File:ListenNFun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (''Listen 'n Fun'', 1985)

:Cliffjumper was packaged with an audio cassette featuring the story "[[Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)|Sun Raid]]" as part of Hasbro's multi-brand ''[[Listen 'n Fun]]'' subline. Most of the toys packaged with this cassette were the yellow variant mentioned above, but exceptions do exist (see photo at right). As the other known ''Listen 'n Fun'' releases—including [[Tripwire (G.I. Joe)|Tripwire]] for ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' and "Ember" for ''[[My Little Pony]]''—had ''intentional'' deco changes from their original releases, it is possible that Cliffjumper becoming yellow was intentional as well.

{{-}}{{anchor|IGA}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Cliffjumper came in five decoes: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, white, and flat silver. The white and silver variations are especially notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

: It is ''possible'' that the two red-faced Cliffjumpers are actually IGA's version of [[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]. In 1986, IGA released first-year Mini Vehicle molds in colors resembling their '86 Hasbro/Takara [[retool]]s on cards for those characters, and [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage01a-TailgateHubCap.jpg|early Hasbro production photos of Hubcap]] show him in white with a red face. Unfortunately, still-carded samples of these two variants have yet to surface and confirm this theory.

:(See why we didn't want all this in the first Cliffjumper entry? And we're not done yet...)

{{-}}{{anchor|Estrela}}
[[File:G1toy gold carrera.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Cliffjumper was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar, "Carrera", and was initially available in two color schemes: his original red and black, and metallic gold and black. Rather than having Autobot symbols, both are decorated with the thin tech-detail sticker from the original Takara ''Micro Change'' versions of the toy, and the kneecap sticker from [[Salt-Man Z]] on the back of the head-plate (replacing the ''Micro Change'' Japanese-text sticker). The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released blue and white versions of Carrera sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Carrera is considered to be a [[Carrera (G1)|separate character]] from Cliffjumper.

::*''[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/mini_frame.php?art=goldcliff More information on gold Cliffjumper/Carrera at TF-1.com]

{{-}}{{anchor|Antex}}
[[File:G1-toy Cliffjumper-Antex.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned white version of Carrera was released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, along with a new green redeco, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the green version have been found with a different chest sticker: a large yellow paper decal that also appears on some Antex releases of [[Windcharger (G1)#Antex|"Camaro" (aka Windcharger)]].

:The card photography shows both the red and golden versions of the toy, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

:These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

:As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Cliffjumper by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro red and yellow versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

:Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Cliffjumper is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, two different colorations have been confirmed: the original red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Cliffjumper all told, with the four others being unique to that market, but no one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}
[[File:G1toy cliffjumper keychain.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|He's protecting your keys from traitors.]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Keychain Mini-Vehicle, 2001/2003/2007)

: A keychain version of Cliffjumper was released by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The tech-detailing sticker behind his head was replaced by a second Autobot insignia sticker like [[Hubcap (G1)#Toys|Hubcap]] has.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots (Cliffjumper, [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Keychain|Bumblebee]], [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Keychain|Brawn]]) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Cliff|an evil clone]] of Cliffjumper.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

:This version of the mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Tap-Out (Universe)#Toys|Tap-Out]].

*'''Cliffjumper'''

:One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with Cliffjumper as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese book, ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]''.

**''Accessories:'' Unknown (likely display stand)

:Prior to the line's cancellation, a 6-inch resin copy depicting a transformable ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Bumblebee was seen at [[BotCon 2006]]. His [[alternate mode]] was the saucer-like car seen in Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' series, which was based on Bumblebee's Cybertronian vehicle mode in the original cartoon. An alternate head of Cliffjumper was seen as well, indicating a retool. Unfortunately, these never made it into production.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Deluxe, 2006/2007)
**''Accessories'': "Wave Crusher" trailer

:''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Cliffjumper is a red, silver, gray, and black [[redeco]] of the ''Classics'' Bumblebee toy, transforming into a small sports coupe of made-up model and towing a small trailer with a non-removable jet-ski. This "[[Wave Crusher]]" trailer/jet-ski transforms into a flight-pack that clips onto Cliffjumper's back. This figure was the first instance of redecoing a Bumblebee toy into Cliffjumper without producing a new head, instead simply recoloring the original Bumblebee head, which would become common procedure for Cliffjumper toys to follow.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Timelines|Bug Bite]].

He transforms similarly to, but not exactly as, his [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

:During the set's initial reveal, the Legends Class Bumblebee toy was in his place (as a placeholder), causing some confusion that Takara will release another Bumblebee toy. And furthermore; Cliff's stock photo features black tires instead of light grey, but it was amended in the packaging art.

: He was only available in a three-piece set with [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Gong]] and the inappropriately-included [[Beachcomber (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Beachcomber]].

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Cliffjumper is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)#Toys|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Generations|Cliffjumper toy]], transforming into a round and compact "Cybertronian courier mode". He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either mode.

:This release features an extensive metallic red paint job (which almost looks magenta under certain lighting conditions) on the car mode panels, and on some of the robot mode's parts (such as the head and forearms), replaces the dark gray plastic of the Hasbro release with a lighter tone, and switches the transparent red paint on the wheels with a more opaque, metallic red. The rear portion of his roof features a more separated paint layout than the black paint of the ''Generations'' release, and the base panel his head is on features additional black paint, with both of these giving him a paint layout almost similar to Bumblebee's. In contrast to the final product, early photos of Cliffjumper showed him with pink flip out blades and details rather than yellow, while his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts the wheel coverings beside his feet as red instead of light gray.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed from ''Generations'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Toys|Cybertronian Bumblebee]], which was redecoed into [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#United|''United'' Bumblebee Cybertron Mode]].

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Deluxe, 2012)

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Cliffjumper is a retool and minor redeco of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#FE|Prime: First Edition]]'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#First Edition|Cliffjumper]], having a new G1-styled head, replacing his red plastic and paint with a darker, metallic shade, and with lighter translucent blue plastic. He transforms into a muscle car that crossbreeds the rear of a Plymouth Barracuda with the front of a Dodge Challenger, and features flip-out triple-barreled blasters in each of his arms that can be swung out to replace his hands. He ''does'' have wrist articulation, but the plastic panels on the outer sides of his arms tend to get in the way, meaning his wrists can only easily rotate up to 90 degrees.

:Cliffjumper was originally only to be released as part of a big block of toys developed [[exclusive]]ly for release in China and other Hasbro Asia markets. However, [[Toys"R"Us]] picked up Cliffjumper as part of a ''massive'' group of Transformers exclusives for U.S. market release, just in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.

: Part of the second assortment of "Custom Kreons", Cliffjumper comes with a buildable parts rack to hang/store his many extra pieces.

His "normal" helmet and long rifle are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable sniper-cannon (made with the aformentioned chrome rifle), a buildable double-bladed staff, buildable dual-blaster backpack, and the [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]]-style wing-pack.

:Legion Class Cliffjumper is another redeco of ''Universe'' Legends Class Bumblebee, sporting the minor retool with additional pegs to secure the arms more tightly in vehicle mode first used for the 2012 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] "Dollar Store" release of the sculpt. Unusually for contemporary figures released as part of this assortment, the figure's deco is notably different from the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' version listed above: The gray plastic used for the legs, the crotch and the wheels is replaced with black, the paint operations on the insides of the arms are also changed from gray to black and expanded to cover a section left unpainted on the ''Henkei'' version, the front grille is left unpainted, and the windows are [[tampograph]]ed in a slightly different shade.<ref name="2014legion">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1040835-classic-legion-cliffjumper.html Review of 2014 Legion Class Cliffjumper] at TFW2005, including a comparison with ''Henkei'' Cliff.</ref>

:Cliffjumper comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers". Since Cliffjumper and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|2014 ''Transformers'' toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Cliffjumper to be part of that line as well. The [[package art]] used for Cliffjumper is recolored from the package art of ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]], an entirely different sculpt, and was previously also used (in its original colors) for the previous release of the Bumblebee figure this Cliffjumper is redecoed from.

:After years of mostly being a Bumblebee redeco, ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Cliffjumper is a cartoon-accurate mold (complete with accurate, non-Bumblebee head; although he does have Bumblebee's biceps), while omitting the Penny Racer aesthetic for his vehicle mode, transforming into a 1980s sports coupe that is strongly reminiscent of his original Porsche 924 Turbo alt-mode, though with a front end which resembles that of the {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}}. Cliffjumper also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends class-sized figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Cliffjumper includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows, and a complex transformation scheme. Undocumented in the instructions, Cliffjumper's ball-jointed neck is actually mounted on a hinge, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with his arsenal, that being [[Cliffjumper's bazooka|a large cannon]] similar to one he briefly used in the G1 cartoon episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his wheels to form the [[hydrofoil]]s seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]". The backend of the cannon can fold out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car trunk can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.

:The promotional renders and early product samples showcased at conventions showed his weapons and skis being silver, while the final product had them cast in black plastic (with the guns being painted silver except for their handles). The majority of Cliffjumper is molded in black plastic with a generous coating of red paint. His forearms and most of his head appear to be the only pieces molded in red plastic.

:Similar to the first release of Starscream from the [[War for Cybertron: Siege|previous line]], Cliffjumper uses the movie variant of the Autobot insignia, rather than the traditional G1 design. Due to the transformation engineering, the insignia is hidden away in robot mode, with no secondary insignia to display.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Cliffjumper's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Cliffjumper's piece of the map contains a labeled entry point to the "[[Dead Universe|DEAD UNIVERSE]]".

:His [[glass gas]] blaster is sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]].

:In Japan, Cliffjumper was exclusively released by a TakaraTomy Mall.

:Cliffjumper was retooled with a new head into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]], [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]], ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]], ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Bumblebee]], and more extensively retooled into ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]], a reverse to the traditional norm.

:Released in the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line as part of the ''[[Studio Series]]'' line up, Cliffjumper is a redeco of the ''Earthrise'' toy above, replacing the translucent windshield with light blue opaque plastic and giving him the [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] gray and black arms and legs. Unlike the original ''Earthrise'' figure Cliffjumper is (mostly) cast in his intended colors as opposed to being made of black plastic painted red, greatly reducing the risk of paint chipping and scratching the original suffered from (mind the forearms, though). He now also sports two Autobot [[insignia]]; one on his hood, the other on his roof. Both insignia use the Generation 1 design, rather than the live-action film design that the ''Earthrise'' toy had. Additionally, Cliffjumper's bazooka has been repainted into a metallic blue to [[:File:Cliffgun.JPG|somewhat match]] the original animation.

:Both the early stock images used on retail websites (image at bottom right) and stock renders on the back of the box, show Cliffjumper's windows cast in transparent blue plastic. The figure used for stock photos also used a much darker shade of transparent blue compared to the ''Earthrise'' toy too. As the ID numbering for the main ''Studio Series'' line is ''still'' currently missing a placeholder for the number '''86-13''', it is ''very'' likely that this translucent plastic version of Cliffjumper was intended for the mainline release outside of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lines' test run with opaque plastic windows. For whatever reason, this release has not yet come to fruition. That being said, unlike the original figure, this releases' windows are a uniform light blue, instead of a mix of translucent blue and opaque black.

:Like much of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line-up, Cliffjumper was found at retail in [[Taiwan]] in early [[December]] [[2021]] with no prior announcement.

Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Cliffjumper was to be a redeco of "Robot Masters" Bumblebee, a 3-inch mostly-die-cast-metal statue. He would have had joints at the waist, neck, and shoulders, plus a removable pistol and an Autobot-sigil display stand. Due to the cancelation of the ''Titanium'' line, this product never saw release.

The sculpt features Cliffjumper holding the gun he was seen using in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]". However, this version omits the stabilizing struts that were present in the episode. This bust is also notable for being the first new mold G1 Cliffjumper has received since his Decoy in 1987, a period of over twenty years!

**''Accessories:'' one "Laser Blaster", one alternate masked head, three pairs of hands (relaxed, closed, posed)
:A new-head retool of [[Threezero]]'s [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Threezero|MDLX Bumblebee]], Cliffjumper is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Cliffjumper is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like ''Figma'' and ''S.H. Figuarts''. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and heads, with the alternate visored face specifically resembling Bumblebee's G1 toy. The three pairs of hands he comes with are relaxed splayed-open hands, closed fists, and posed hands meant to hold his included Laser Blaster (which in turn is based on Bumblebee's pistol used in the cartoon). His back tire is also removable.

:While stock photos (at right) show him with the standard Autobot insignia, the final product uses the movie variant instead.

:In the Unites States, he is a ''PX Previews'' exclusive.

==Notes==
[[File:MicroChangePorsche.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
*The ''[[Microman]]'' ''[[Micro Change]]'' toy that would become Cliffjumper was also available in light blue. To date, this deco has never been used in ''Transformers'' outside of Mexico.
*Though often a straight redeco of Bumblebee in non-Japanese countries, there has yet to be a Cliffjumper produced by TakaraTomy that is a straight redeco of the same line's Bumblebee.

'''Cliffjumper''' has a lot of toys. Although none of them are traitors, they're mostly red Bumblebees.

[[File:G1 Cliffjumper toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|For 28 years, this was his only toy that wasn't a Bumblebee redeco or retool.]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984/1985)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''13'''
{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the original 1984 range of Autobot [[Mini Vehicle]]s, Cliffjumper began life as a ''[[Micro Change]]'' "MC-04 #01 {{w|Porsche 924}} Turbo", a [[super deformed]] "[[Choro-Q|Penny Racer]]"-style representation of the real car. Though broadly similar in construction to [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Bumblebee]] and commonly called a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of him by fans, Cliffjumper is actually an entirely different mold that just uses the same [[transformation]] scheme. This confusion was not helped by the fact that both Cliffjumper and Bumblebee were released in both red and yellow during the first two years of the Generation 1 toyline; a move designed to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref>

: In 1984, Cliffjumper and the other Mini Vehicles came packaged in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]; in 1985, they were switched to come in [[robot mode]], a change preceded by the addition of a picture of their vehicle modes to the front of their cards. The same year, the Autobot [[insignia]] on Cliffjumper's roof/chest was replaced with a heat-activated [[rubsign]]. Later in 1985, Cliffjumper and the Mini-Vehicles came packaged with [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]].

: When he was released in Japan in 1985, "Cliff" came in a small box rather than a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol.

: Cliffjumper was also sold in several countries south of the US in a wide variety of colors, which are covered in individual entries below (simply to keep this entry from getting too cluttered).

: A yellow version of the [[Microman]] "MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG" mold was also available packaged on Cliffjumper cards. As an entirely different mold, this toy was not regarded as a variant of Cliffjumper, but rather as a separate character that the fandom christened "[[Bumper (G1)#Toys|Bumper]]".

{{-}}{{anchor|LnFCJ}}
[[File:ListenNFun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (''Listen 'n Fun'', 1985)

:Cliffjumper was packaged with an audio cassette featuring the story "[[Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)|Sun Raid]]" as part of Hasbro's multi-brand ''[[Listen 'n Fun]]'' subline. Most of the toys packaged with this cassette were the yellow variant mentioned above, but exceptions do exist (see photo at right). As the other known ''Listen 'n Fun'' releases—including [[Tripwire (G.I. Joe)|Tripwire]] for ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' and "Ember" for ''[[My Little Pony]]''—had ''intentional'' deco changes from their original releases, it is possible that Cliffjumper becoming yellow was intentional as well.

{{-}}{{anchor|IGA}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Cliffjumper came in five decoes: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, white, and flat silver. The white and silver variations are especially notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

: It is ''possible'' that the two red-faced Cliffjumpers are actually IGA's version of [[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]. In 1986, IGA released first-year Mini Vehicle molds in colors resembling their '86 Hasbro/Takara [[retool]]s on cards for those characters, and [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage01a-TailgateHubCap.jpg|early Hasbro production photos of Hubcap]] show him in white with a red face. Unfortunately, still-carded samples of these two variants have yet to surface and confirm this theory.

:(See why we didn't want all this in the first Cliffjumper entry? And we're not done yet...)

{{-}}{{anchor|Estrela}}
[[File:G1toy gold carrera.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Cliffjumper was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar, "Carrera", and was initially available in two color schemes: his original red and black, and metallic gold and black. Rather than having Autobot symbols, both are decorated with the thin tech-detail sticker from the original Takara ''Micro Change'' versions of the toy, and the kneecap sticker from [[Salt-Man Z]] on the back of the head-plate (replacing the ''Micro Change'' Japanese-text sticker). The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released blue and white versions of Carrera sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Carrera is considered to be a [[Carrera (G1)|separate character]] from Cliffjumper.

::*''[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/mini_frame.php?art=goldcliff More information on gold Cliffjumper/Carrera at TF-1.com]

{{-}}{{anchor|Antex}}
[[File:G1-toy Cliffjumper-Antex.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned white version of Carrera was released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, along with a new green redeco, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the green version have been found with a different chest sticker: a large yellow paper decal that also appears on some Antex releases of [[Windcharger (G1)#Antex|"Camaro" (aka Windcharger)]].

:The card photography shows both the red and golden versions of the toy, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

:These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

:As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Cliffjumper by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro red and yellow versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

:Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Cliffjumper is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, two different colorations have been confirmed: the original red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Cliffjumper all told, with the four others being unique to that market, but no one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}
[[File:G1toy cliffjumper keychain.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|He's protecting your keys from traitors.]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Keychain Mini-Vehicle, 2001/2003/2007)

: A keychain version of Cliffjumper was released by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The tech-detailing sticker behind his head was replaced by a second Autobot insignia sticker like [[Hubcap (G1)#Toys|Hubcap]] has.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots (Cliffjumper, [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Keychain|Bumblebee]], [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Keychain|Brawn]]) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Cliff|an evil clone]] of Cliffjumper.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

:This version of the mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Tap-Out (Universe)#Toys|Tap-Out]].

*'''Cliffjumper'''

:One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with Cliffjumper as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese book, ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]''.

:Prior to the line's cancellation, a 6-inch resin copy depicting a transformable ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Bumblebee was seen at [[BotCon 2006]]. His [[alternate mode]] was the saucer-like car seen in Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' series, which was based on Bumblebee's Cybertronian vehicle mode in the original cartoon. An alternate head of Cliffjumper was seen as well, indicating a retool. Unfortunately, these never made it into production.

:''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Cliffjumper is a red, silver, gray, and black [[redeco]] of the ''Classics'' Bumblebee toy, transforming into a small sports coupe of made-up model and towing a small trailer with a non-removable jet-ski. This "[[Wave Crusher]]" trailer/jet-ski transforms into a flight-pack that clips onto Cliffjumper's back. This figure was the first instance of redecoing a Bumblebee toy into Cliffjumper without producing a new head, instead simply recoloring the original Bumblebee head, which would become common procedure for Cliffjumper toys to follow.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Timelines|Bug Bite]].

He transforms similarly to, but not exactly as, his [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

:During the set's initial reveal, the Legends Class Bumblebee toy was in his place (as a placeholder), causing some confusion that Takara will release another Bumblebee toy. And furthermore; Cliff's stock photo features black tires instead of light grey, but it was amended in the packaging art.

: He was only available in a three-piece set with [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Gong]] and the inappropriately-included [[Beachcomber (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Beachcomber]].

**''Accessories'': "Energy gun"

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Cliffjumper is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)#Toys|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Generations|Cliffjumper toy]], transforming into a round and compact "Cybertronian courier mode". He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either mode.

:This release features an extensive metallic red paint job (which almost looks magenta under certain lighting conditions) on the car mode panels, and on some of the robot mode's parts (such as the head and forearms), replaces the dark gray plastic of the Hasbro release with a lighter tone, and switches the transparent red paint on the wheels with a more opaque, metallic red. The rear portion of his roof features a more separated paint layout than the black paint of the ''Generations'' release, and the base panel his head is on features additional black paint, with both of these giving him a paint layout almost similar to Bumblebee's. In contrast to the final product, early photos of Cliffjumper showed him with pink flip out blades and details rather than yellow, while his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts the wheel coverings beside his feet as red instead of light gray.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Deluxe, 2012)

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Cliffjumper is a retool and minor redeco of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#FE|Prime: First Edition]]'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#First Edition|Cliffjumper]], having a new G1-styled head, replacing his red plastic and paint with a darker, metallic shade, and with lighter translucent blue plastic. He transforms into a muscle car that crossbreeds the rear of a Plymouth Barracuda with the front of a Dodge Challenger, and features flip-out triple-barreled blasters in each of his arms that can be swung out to replace his hands. He ''does'' have wrist articulation, but the plastic panels on the outer sides of his arms tend to get in the way, meaning his wrists can only easily rotate up to 90 degrees.

:Cliffjumper was originally only to be released as part of a big block of toys developed [[exclusive]]ly for release in China and other Hasbro Asia markets. However, [[Toys"R"Us]] picked up Cliffjumper as part of a ''massive'' group of Transformers exclusives for U.S. market release, just in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.

:Legends Class Cliffjumper is a redeco of ''Generations [[Thrilling 30]]'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]].

The plastics of his torso, arms, and legs have a metal-flake sheen, and his similarly-shiny [[tampograph]]s are lifted from [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)#Custom|Custom Kreon Bumblebee]], rather than being based on the [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Cliffjumper toy]]. His "normal" helmet and long rifle are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable sniper-cannon (made with the aformentioned chrome rifle), a buildable double-bladed staff, buildable dual-blaster backpack, and the [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]]-style wing-pack.

: Though widely solicited, this wave of Custom Kreons ultimately never saw release outside the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online store and Chinese-market distribution circles.

:Legion Class Cliffjumper is another redeco of ''Universe'' Legends Class Bumblebee, sporting the minor retool with additional pegs to secure the arms more tightly in vehicle mode first used for the 2012 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] "Dollar Store" release of the sculpt. Unusually for contemporary figures released as part of this assortment, the figure's deco is notably different from the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' version listed above: The gray plastic used for the legs, the crotch and the wheels is replaced with black, the paint operations on the insides of the arms are also changed from gray to black and expanded to cover a section left unpainted on the ''Henkei'' version, the front grille is left unpainted, and the windows are [[tampograph]]ed in a slightly different shade.<ref name="2014legion">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1040835-classic-legion-cliffjumper.html Review of 2014 Legion Class Cliffjumper] at TFW2005, including a comparison with ''Henkei'' Cliff.</ref>

:Cliffjumper comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers". Since Cliffjumper and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|2014 ''Transformers'' toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Cliffjumper to be part of that line as well. The [[package art]] used for Cliffjumper is recolored from the package art of ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]], an entirely different sculpt, and was previously also used (in its original colors) for the previous release of the Bumblebee figure this Cliffjumper is redecoed from.

:After years of mostly being a Bumblebee redeco, ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Cliffjumper is a cartoon-accurate mold (complete with accurate, non-Bumblebee head; although he does have Bumblebee's biceps), while omitting the Penny Racer aesthetic for his vehicle mode, transforming into a 1980s sports coupe that is strongly reminiscent of his original Porsche 924 Turbo alt-mode, though with a front end which resembles that of the {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}}. Cliffjumper also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends class-sized figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Cliffjumper includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows, and a complex transformation scheme. Undocumented in the instructions, Cliffjumper's ball-jointed neck is actually mounted on a hinge, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with his arsenal, that being [[Cliffjumper's bazooka|a large cannon]] similar to one he briefly used in the G1 cartoon episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his wheels to form the [[hydrofoil]]s seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]". The backend of the cannon can fold out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car trunk can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.

:The promotional renders and early product samples showcased at conventions showed his weapons and skis being silver, while the final product had them cast in black plastic (with the guns being painted silver except for their handles). The majority of Cliffjumper is molded in black plastic with a generous coating of red paint. His forearms and most of his head appear to be the only pieces molded in red plastic.

:Similar to the first release of Starscream from the [[War for Cybertron: Siege|previous line]], Cliffjumper uses the movie variant of the Autobot insignia, rather than the traditional G1 design. Due to the transformation engineering, the insignia is hidden away in robot mode, with no secondary insignia to display.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Cliffjumper's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Cliffjumper's piece of the map contains a labeled entry point to the "[[Dead Universe|DEAD UNIVERSE]]".

:His [[glass gas]] blaster is sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]].

:In Japan, Cliffjumper was exclusively released by a TakaraTomy Mall.

:Cliffjumper was retooled with a new head into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]], [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]], ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]], ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Bumblebee]], and more extensively retooled into ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]], a reverse to the traditional norm.

:Pictures of stolen [[prototype|test shots]] of a ''[[Masterpiece]]'' Cliffjumper were circulated on the standard outlets for such things in July 2021. The design was a retool of MP-45 [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumble (Ver. 2.0)]]. In the subsequent two-plus years there has been no official comment on such a toy from [[Hasbro]] or [[TakaraTomy]], nor has it appeared on any retailer computer listings. It may be the case that, like the [[Unreleased toy|unreleased]] ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Notes|Jazz]], this Cliffjumper remains in limbo because Porsche denied the license at the time the prototype was produced.

{{toydesigner|[[Evan Brooks]] (Hasbro)|[[Marcelo Matere]] (backdrop artist)}}

:Released in the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line as part of the ''[[Studio Series]]'' line up, Cliffjumper is a redeco of the ''Earthrise'' toy above, replacing the translucent windshield with light blue opaque plastic and giving him the [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] gray and black arms and legs. Unlike the original ''Earthrise'' figure Cliffjumper is (mostly) cast in his intended colors as opposed to being made of black plastic painted red, greatly reducing the risk of paint chipping and scratching the original suffered from (mind the forearms, though). He now also sports two Autobot [[insignia]]; one on his hood, the other on his roof. Both insignia use the Generation 1 design, rather than the live-action film design that the ''Earthrise'' toy had. Additionally, Cliffjumper's bazooka has been repainted into a metallic blue to [[:File:Cliffgun.JPG|somewhat match]] the original animation.

:Both the early stock images used on retail websites (image at bottom right) and stock renders on the back of the box, show Cliffjumper's windows cast in transparent blue plastic. The figure used for stock photos also used a much darker shade of transparent blue compared to the ''Earthrise'' toy too. As the ID numbering for the main ''Studio Series'' line is ''still'' currently missing a placeholder for the number '''86-13''', it is ''very'' likely that this translucent plastic version of Cliffjumper was intended for the mainline release outside of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lines' test run with opaque plastic windows. For whatever reason, this release has not yet come to fruition. That being said, unlike the original figure, this releases' windows are a uniform light blue, instead of a mix of translucent blue and opaque black.

:Like much of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line-up, Cliffjumper was found at retail in [[Taiwan]] in early [[December]] [[2021]] with no prior announcement.

:A new-head retool of [[Threezero]]'s [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Threezero|MDLX Bumblebee]] Cliffjumper is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Cliffjumper is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like ''Figma'' and ''S.H. Figuarts''. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and heads, with the alternate visored face specifically resembling Bumblebee's G1 toy. The three pairs of hands he comes with are relaxed splayed-open hands, closed fists, and posed hands meant to hold his included Laser Blaster (which in turn is based on Bumblebee's pistol used in the cartoon). His back tire is also removable.

:While stock photos (at right) show him with the standard Autobot insignia, the final product uses the movie variant instead.

:In the Unites States, he is a ''PX Previews'' exclusive.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984/1985)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''13'''
{{toydesigner|[[Masaki Maruyama]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the original 1984 range of Autobot [[Mini Vehicle]]s, Cliffjumper began life as a ''[[Micro Change]]'' "MC-04 #01 {{w|Porsche 924}} Turbo", a [[super deformed]] "[[Choro-Q|Penny Racer]]"-style representation of the real car. Though broadly similar in construction to [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Bumblebee]] and commonly called a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of him by fans, Cliffjumper is actually an entirely different mold that just uses the same [[transformation]] scheme. This confusion was not helped by the fact that both Cliffjumper and Bumblebee were released in both red and yellow during the first two years of the Generation 1 toyline; a move designed to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref>

: In 1984, Cliffjumper and the other Mini Vehicles came packaged in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]; in 1985, they were switched to come in [[robot mode]], a change preceded by the addition of a picture of their vehicle modes to the front of their cards. The same year, the Autobot [[insignia]] on Cliffjumper's roof/chest was replaced with a heat-activated [[rubsign]]. Later in 1985, Cliffjumper and the Mini-Vehicles came packaged with [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]].

: When he was released in Japan in 1985, "Cliff" came in a small box rather than a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol.

: Cliffjumper was also sold in several countries south of the US in a wide variety of colors, which are covered in individual entries below (simply to keep this entry from getting too cluttered).

: A yellow version of the [[Microman]] "MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG" mold was also available packaged on Cliffjumper cards. As an entirely different mold, this toy was not regarded as a variant of Cliffjumper, but rather as a separate character that the fandom christened "[[Bumper (G1)#Toys|Bumper]]".

[[File:ListenNFun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (''Listen 'n Fun'', 1985)

:Cliffjumper was packaged with an audio cassette featuring the story "[[Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)|Sun Raid]]" as part of Hasbro's multi-brand ''[[Listen 'n Fun]]'' subline. Most of the toys packaged with this cassette were the yellow variant mentioned above, but exceptions do exist (see photo at right). As the other known ''Listen 'n Fun'' releases—including [[Tripwire (G.I. Joe)|Tripwire]] for ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' and "Ember" for ''[[My Little Pony]]''—had ''intentional'' deco changes from their original releases, it is possible that Cliffjumper becoming yellow was intentional as well.

{{-}}{{anchor|IGA}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Cliffjumper came in five decoes: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, white, and flat silver. The white and silver variations are especially notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

: It is ''possible'' that the two red-faced Cliffjumpers are actually IGA's version of [[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]. In 1986, IGA released first-year Mini Vehicle molds in colors resembling their '86 Hasbro/Takara [[retool]]s on cards for those characters, and [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage01a-TailgateHubCap.jpg|early Hasbro production photos of Hubcap]] show him in white with a red face. Unfortunately, still-carded samples of these two variants have yet to surface and confirm this theory.

:(See why we didn't want all this in the first Cliffjumper entry? And we're not done yet...)

{{-}}{{anchor|Estrela}}
[[File:G1toy gold carrera.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Cliffjumper was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar, "Carrera", and was initially available in two color schemes: his original red and black, and metallic gold and black. Rather than having Autobot symbols, both are decorated with the thin tech-detail sticker from the original Takara ''Micro Change'' versions of the toy, and the kneecap sticker from [[Salt-Man Z]] on the back of the head-plate (replacing the ''Micro Change'' Japanese-text sticker). The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released blue and white versions of Carrera sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Carrera is considered to be a [[Carrera (G1)|separate character]] from Cliffjumper.

{{-}}{{anchor|Antex}}
[[File:G1-toy Cliffjumper-Antex.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned white version of Carrera was released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, along with a new green redeco, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the green version have been found with a different chest sticker: a large yellow paper decal that also appears on some Antex releases of [[Windcharger (G1)#Antex|"Camaro" (aka Windcharger)]].

:The card photography shows both the red and golden versions of the toy, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

:These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

:As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Cliffjumper by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro red and yellow versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

:Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Cliffjumper is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, two different colorations have been confirmed: the original red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Cliffjumper all told, with the four others being unique to that market, but no one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}
[[File:G1toy cliffjumper keychain.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|He's protecting your keys from traitors.]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Keychain Mini-Vehicle, 2001/2003/2007)

: A keychain version of Cliffjumper was released by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The tech-detailing sticker behind his head was replaced by a second Autobot insignia sticker like [[Hubcap (G1)#Toys|Hubcap]] has.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots (Cliffjumper, [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Keychain|Bumblebee]], [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Keychain|Brawn]]) as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. They came in [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]] so you don't know which one you got until you open 'er up, plus each one could also come in a "[[Chase figure|chase]]" all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Cliff|an evil clone]] of Cliffjumper.

: All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' banner by [[Basic Fun]] (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the ''Heroes'' look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.

:This version of the mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Tap-Out (Universe)#Toys|Tap-Out]].

*'''Cliffjumper'''

:One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with Cliffjumper as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese book, ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]''.

:Prior to the line's cancellation, a 6-inch resin copy depicting a transformable ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Bumblebee was seen at [[BotCon 2006]]. His [[alternate mode]] was the saucer-like car seen in Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' series, which was based on Bumblebee's Cybertronian vehicle mode in the original cartoon. An alternate head of Cliffjumper was seen as well, indicating a retool. Unfortunately, these never made it into production.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)}}

:''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Cliffjumper is a red, silver, gray, and black [[redeco]] of the ''Classics'' Bumblebee toy, transforming into a small sports coupe of made-up model and towing a small trailer with a non-removable jet-ski. This "[[Wave Crusher]]" trailer/jet-ski transforms into a flight-pack that clips onto Cliffjumper's back. This figure was the first instance of redecoing a Bumblebee toy into Cliffjumper without producing a new head, instead simply recoloring the original Bumblebee head, which would become common procedure for Cliffjumper toys to follow.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Timelines|Bug Bite]].

He transforms similarly to, but not exactly as, his [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

:During the set's initial reveal, the Legends Class Bumblebee toy was in his place (as a placeholder), causing some confusion that Takara will release another Bumblebee toy. And furthermore; Cliff's stock photo features black tires instead of light grey, but it was amended in the packaging art.

: He was only available in a three-piece set with [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Gong]] and the inappropriately-included [[Beachcomber (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Beachcomber]].

:Avoiding the straight redeco theme the first time, ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Cliff is a [[retool]] of "[[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Alternity|Bumble [Champion Yellow]"]] with a new head, transforming into a 1:32 scale Suzuki Swift, featuring die-cast metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. In robot mode, the figure can hold twin pistols that are normally stored in the legs, and features light-piped eyes.

*'''Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode''' (Deluxe, 2010-[[December 25|12-25]])
**''ID number'': '''UN03'''
**''Accessories'': "Energy gun"

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Cliffjumper is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)#Toys|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Generations|Cliffjumper toy]], transforming into a round and compact "Cybertronian courier mode". He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either mode.

:This release features an extensive metallic red paint job (which almost looks magenta under certain lighting conditions) on the car mode panels, and on some of the robot mode's parts (such as the head and forearms), replaces the dark gray plastic of the Hasbro release with a lighter tone, and switches the transparent red paint on the wheels with a more opaque, metallic red. The rear portion of his roof features a more separated paint layout than the black paint of the ''Generations'' release, and the base panel his head is on features additional black paint, with both of these giving him a paint layout almost similar to Bumblebee's. In contrast to the final product, early photos of Cliffjumper showed him with pink flip out blades and details rather than yellow, while his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts the wheel coverings beside his feet as red instead of light gray.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed from ''Generations'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Toys|Cybertronian Bumblebee]], which was redecoed into [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#United|''United'' Bumblebee Cybertron Mode]].

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Deluxe, 2012)

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Cliffjumper is a retool and minor redeco of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#FE|Prime: First Edition]]'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#First Edition|Cliffjumper]], having a new G1-styled head, replacing his red plastic and paint with a darker, metallic shade, and with lighter translucent blue plastic. He transforms into a muscle car that crossbreeds the rear of a Plymouth Barracuda with the front of a Dodge Challenger, and features flip-out triple-barreled blasters in each of his arms that can be swung out to replace his hands. He ''does'' have wrist articulation, but the plastic panels on the outer sides of his arms tend to get in the way, meaning his wrists can only easily rotate up to 90 degrees.

:Cliffjumper was originally only to be released as part of a big block of toys developed [[exclusive]]ly for release in China and other Hasbro Asia markets. However, [[Toys"R"Us]] picked up Cliffjumper as part of a ''massive'' group of Transformers exclusives for U.S. market release, just in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.

:Legends Class Cliffjumper is a redeco of ''Generations [[Thrilling 30]]'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]]. He comes with [[Suppressor (Generations)#Toys|Suppressor]], a redeco of ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Optimus Prime]]'s partner [[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]], and an unchanged version of the [[ion blaster#Generations|ion blaster]] originally available with the aforementioned Optimus Prime figure.

:Hasbro's original [[Stock photography|stock photo]] for the figure depicting a hand-painted prototype shows Cliffjumper lacking the ion blaster. The weapon was erroneously depicted in the concurrently published stock photo for Cliffjumper's [[wave]]-mate [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Generations|Nemesis Prime]]/[[Spinister (G1)#Generations|Spinister]] two-pack. The card-backs of both two-packs feature edited versions of these photos, with the weapon moved from Nemesis Prime's hand to Cliffjumper's.

: Part of the second assortment of "Custom Kreons", Cliffjumper comes with a buildable parts rack to hang/store his many extra pieces.

His "normal" helmet and long rifle are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable sniper-cannon (made with the aformentioned chrome rifle), a buildable double-bladed staff, buildable dual-blaster backpack, and the [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]]-style wing-pack.

Unusually for contemporary figures released as part of this assortment, the figure's deco is notably different from the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' version listed above: The gray plastic used for the legs, the crotch and the wheels is replaced with black, the paint operations on the insides of the arms are also changed from gray to black and expanded to cover a section left unpainted on the ''Henkei'' version, the front grille is left unpainted, and the windows are [[tampograph]]ed in a slightly different shade.<ref name="2014legion">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1040835-classic-legion-cliffjumper.html Review of 2014 Legion Class Cliffjumper] at TFW2005, including a comparison with ''Henkei'' Cliff.</ref>

:Cliffjumper comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers". Since Cliffjumper and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|2014 ''Transformers'' toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Cliffjumper to be part of that line as well. The [[package art]] used for Cliffjumper is recolored from the package art of ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]], an entirely different sculpt, and was previously also used (in its original colors) for the previous release of the Bumblebee figure this Cliffjumper is redecoed from.

:After years of mostly being a Bumblebee redeco, ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Cliffjumper is a cartoon-accurate mold (complete with accurate, non-Bumblebee head; although he does have Bumblebee's biceps), while omitting the Penny Racer aesthetic for his vehicle mode, transforming into a 1980s sports coupe that is strongly reminiscent of his original Porsche 924 Turbo alt-mode, though with a front end which resembles that of the {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}}. Cliffjumper also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. In keeping with his depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media, this figure is much smaller than a typical Deluxe Class and is closer to being a particularly large Legends class-sized figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Cliffjumper includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows, and a complex transformation scheme. Undocumented in the instructions, Cliffjumper's ball-jointed neck is actually mounted on a hinge, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with his arsenal, that being [[Cliffjumper's bazooka|a large cannon]] similar to one he briefly used in the G1 cartoon episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his wheels to form the [[hydrofoil]]s seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]". The backend of the cannon can fold out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car trunk can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.

:The promotional renders and early product samples showcased at conventions showed his weapons and skis being silver, while the final product had them cast in black plastic (with the guns being painted silver except for their handles). The majority of Cliffjumper is molded in black plastic with a generous coating of red paint. His forearms and most of his head appear to be the only pieces molded in red plastic.

:Similar to the first release of Starscream from the [[War for Cybertron: Siege|previous line]], Cliffjumper uses the movie variant of the Autobot insignia, rather than the traditional G1 design. Due to the transformation engineering, the insignia is hidden away in robot mode, with no secondary insignia to display.

:Like all ''Earthrise'' toys, the inside of the back of Cliffjumper's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Cliffjumper's piece of the map contains a labeled entry point to the "[[Dead Universe|DEAD UNIVERSE]]".

:His [[glass gas]] blaster is sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]].

:In Japan, Cliffjumper was exclusively released by a TakaraTomy Mall.

:Cliffjumper was retooled with a new head into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]], [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]], ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]], ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Bumblebee]], and more extensively retooled into ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]], a reverse to the traditional norm.

:Pictures of stolen [[prototype|test shots]] of a ''[[Masterpiece]]'' Cliffjumper were circulated on the standard outlets for such things in July 2021. The design was a retool of MP-45 [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumble (Ver. 2.0)]]. In the subsequent two-plus years there has been no official comment on such a toy from [[Hasbro]] or [[TakaraTomy]], nor has it appeared on any retailer computer listings. It may be the case that, like the [[Unreleased toy|unreleased]] ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Notes|Jazz]], this Cliffjumper remains in limbo because Porsche denied the license at the time the prototype was produced.

:Released in the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line as part of the ''[[Studio Series]]'' line up, Cliffjumper is a redeco of the ''Earthrise'' toy above, replacing the translucent windshield with light blue opaque plastic and giving him the [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] gray and black arms and legs. Unlike the original ''Earthrise'' figure Cliffjumper is (mostly) cast in his intended colors as opposed to being made of black plastic painted red, greatly reducing the risk of paint chipping and scratching the original suffered from (mind the forearms, though). He now also sports two Autobot [[insignia]]; one on his hood, the other on his roof. Both insignia use the Generation 1 design, rather than the live-action film design that the ''Earthrise'' toy had. Additionally, Cliffjumper's bazooka has been repainted into a metallic blue to [[:File:Cliffgun.JPG|somewhat match]] the original animation.

:Both the early stock images used on retail websites (image at bottom right) and stock renders on the back of the box, show Cliffjumper's windows cast in transparent blue plastic. The figure used for stock photos also used a much darker shade of transparent blue compared to the ''Earthrise'' toy too. As the ID numbering for the main ''Studio Series'' line is ''still'' currently missing a placeholder for the number '''86-13''', it is ''very'' likely that this translucent plastic version of Cliffjumper was intended for the mainline release outside of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' lines' test run with opaque plastic windows. For whatever reason, this release has not yet come to fruition. That being said, unlike the original figure, this releases' windows are a uniform light blue, instead of a mix of translucent blue and opaque black.

:Like much of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' line-up, Cliffjumper was found at retail in [[Taiwan]] in early [[December]] [[2021]] with no prior announcement.

:Non-poseable, non-transforming figurines of Cliffjumper and three of his Mini-Vehicle chums (Bumblebee, [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] and Brawn) made up the very first line of Transformers [[List of Transformers restaurant promotions|Happy Meal toys]]. Alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: in addition to his traditional red and black, Cliffjumper is known to have been available in green and black, blue and black, blue and red, black and red, and cyan and black.

**''Accessories:'' one "Laser Blaster", one alternate masked head, three pairs of hands (relaxed, closed, posed)
:A new-head retool of [[Threezero]]'s [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Threezero|MDLX Bumblebee]] Cliffjumper is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Cliffjumper is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like ''Figma'' and ''S.H. Figuarts''. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and heads, with the alternate visored face specifically resembling Bumblebee's G1 toy. The three pairs of hands he comes with are relaxed splayed-open hands, closed fists, and posed hands meant to hold his included Laser Blaster (which in turn is based on Bumblebee's pistol used in the cartoon). His back tire is also removable. While stock photos (at right) show him with the standard Autobot insignia, the final product uses the movie variant instead.

:In the Unites States, he is a ''PX Previews'' exclusive.

As the figure is a Japanese creation, it's particularly notable for the fact that it lacks Megatron's signature fusion cannon, just as his original Japanese toy release did, instead sculpting him with his hand-held laser cannon and Japanese-exclusive sword.

:Megatron was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, as well as being included as one of several possible random Decepticon figures included as playing tokens with the "Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game", and in a variety of different colours via "gachapon" capsule machines.

Based on the scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where Megatron is reincarnated as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], "Reincarnation Megatron" (転生メガトロン ''tensei megatoron'') is cast in transparent plastic with a light purple hue and gold sparkles inside, and given grid patterns on his lower body. It was presumably packed at a ratio of one per ten cases.

:It needs to be noted that there are a significant number of [[knockoff|bootlegs]] of this figure. Thankfully, most have a very obvious tell: the real figure has a white Decepticon symbol, while the knockoffs have a purple symbol.

**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He keeps the paint alterations of the energy-mace Megatron, though his black paint is much glossier this time around. Laserbeak's grays are also much lighter than on the SCF, matching Megatron's main body coloring.

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

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

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

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

:This San Diego Comic-Con 2023 exclusive is a particularly deep cut, though a slightly misguided one. Meant to evoke the uncommon [[:File:G1toy gb megatron.jpg|"Good Bye" version of the original Megatron toy as released only in Japan]], it now features darker grey base plastic with new interior blue highlights. However, those blue highlights were ''not'' on the original "Good Bye Megatron" toy at all - they were only on its [[package art|box art]], which had been left over from the earlier standard release of the Japanese Megatron toy.

==ReAction==
*'''Megatron''' (2020)

: Released in the first wave of [[Super7]]'s line of multi-property 3.75-inch "retro" action figures, ''[[ReAction]]'' Megatron is a non-converting 3 3/4-inch action figure based on his appearance in the original cartoon, with 5 points of articulation (swivel neck, shoulders, hips) and holes in his feet for use with some variety of stand. Where most ''ReAction'' figures come with a separate accessory, Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] is permanently affixed to his right arm.

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

Molded in PS and ABS plastic with polycaps for the joints, Megatron features a number of stickers for detailing but doesn't require much in the way of paint for a complete look, being molded in all the appropriate colors straight out of the box. The finished kit is Voyager-sized in height.

:If one chooses, the kit can be panel-lined and touched-up with several panel-lining and paint markers (water/acrylic-based markers are recommended, as alcohol-based markers like ''Gundam Markers'' can potentially damage the ABS plastic). If one desires; the kit's pieces, aside from the translucent parts, can be fully coated with spray paints to recreate the finished sample seen in the stock photos.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Megatron is an 8-inch-tall non-transforming figure. Despite his retro look, he has ''way'' more articulation than the original, including multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. He even has an opening chest with pictures of antimatter cubes behind it, as seen in the end of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] episode "[[Roll for It]]". His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands or other accessories.

: Among said accessories are some that have by now been included frequently with Megatron figures, such as his energy mace (here provided with both straight and curved chain versions), the blaster and laser sword from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', as well as [[Kremzeek]]. More innovative accessories include an alternate head with the control helmet from "[[Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target]]", a half-empty energon cube and drunkenly-grinning alternate head meant to represent the drinking scene in "[[Microbots]]", the Pearl of Bahoudin from "[[Trans-Europe Express]]", and the chemical flask that Megatron is shown throwing at [[Gregory Swofford]] in "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1]]" (deep cut!).

Similar to his [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#MTGSLD|eternal rival]], Megatron is both powerful and nigh-indestructible, with a very high casting cost—but at the cost of one extra mana compared to Optimus, Megatron has the incredibly potent [[wikia:mtg:infect|infect]] mechanic, which combines with his power of 11 to let him kill a player in ''one hit'' if he isn't blocked. While the card has printing on both faces, depicting Megatron in robot mode and vehicle mode respectively, both have the same printed abilities and count as a single card for rules purposes—just choose which side you want to display when he enters the battlefield.

[[File:1985 happymeal bumblebee.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (1985)

:Non-poseable, non-transforming figurines of Bumblebee and three of his Mini-Vehicle chums (Cliffjumper, [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys|Brawn]]) comprised the very first line of Transformers [[List of Transformers restaurant promotions|Happy Meal toys]], but alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: Bumblebee is known to have been available in blue and red, red and black, green and black, blue and black, black and yellow, and black and red... yet not his traditional yellow and black!

:A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a ''keshigomu''— of Bumblebee was released as part of the first wave of [[Kabaya]]'s earliest [[candy toy]] line, ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]''. Based more on his toy than his animation model, Bumblebee came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in various colours, including white, blue, sky blue, yellow, green, and orange.

:Bumblebee was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Bumblebee was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Bumblebee was available as part of a nine-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Dinosauruer Strategy Game and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Bumblebee''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''26'''

:The Bumblebee figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (26, in Bumblebee's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

:The Bumblebee and Spike figurines were later sold in the fourth wave of [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line, but since Hasbro didn't have the [[trademark]] on Bumblebee's name at the time, the set was simply collectively named the "Autobot Espionage Team". This version of the duo was cast in clear-blue plastic then painted over, with Bumblebee's eyes and the back of his head unpainted to attempt a [[light-piping]] gimmick.

: The pair were sold on a blister card, packaged with a character card and the right leg of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Bumblebee is a small, 3-inch mostly-die-cast-metal statue of the little guy in a design that's surprisingly close to the original toy, with two wheels on each arm, a plate behind his head and sculpted details on his legs that are also based on the original toy.

:''Titanium'' Bumblebee has joints at the waist, neck and shoulders, plus a removable pistol. He even comes with a little Autobot-sigil display base.

*'''''Transformers'' Easter egg''' (2022)
**''Accessories:'' Egg holder/obstacle piece

:D'elicce once again released a ''Transformers''-themed Easter egg exclusive to Lojas Americanas in 2022. The included toy is now an evergreen Bumblebee car with the robot mode head sticking out of the roof, creating the illusion that Bumblebee is driving himself.

:The car is made of pure yellow plastic (except for the wheels which are black) and is completely hollow underneath due to the egg being stored inside of it in-packaging. It does come with a curved piece made of black plastic attached to its underside that helps to keep the egg in place, but it's not supposed to stay attached after removing the egg since it prevents the car from touching the ground with its own wheels. The piece can be loosely stuck inside the car for improvised storage, but it's clearly not designed to attach in any other way. Instead, the piece itself features a phrase (written in Portuguese) embossed on its inner side suggesting that it should be used as an "obstacle" for the car to play with. Hey, at least they tried to get creative with it. Meanwhile, an Autobot logo is embossed on the outer side of the piece.

:The toy features no paint applications and instead comes with a sticker sheet with 16 stickers—including the car's front grille, headlights, windows and decorative stripes—and instructions on where to apply them. Attention must be paid while applying the stickers, however, as the instructions incorrectly show the headlights and the rear side windows being applied to the opposite side to the one they were actually intended. The transparent plastic used as packaging tries (and fails) to give the impression that the windows come pre-applied, but in reality only the robot's face actually comes as a pre-applied sticker.

As was the case with the previous release, only the face comes with a pre-applied sticker, while the stickers for the chest, arms and legs must be applied manually.

:Bumblebee's chest plate can be removed to reveal details meant to represent his "inner workings".

**''Known designers:'' Kelvin Sau

:[[Threezero]]'s debut figure for the MDLX line, this version of Bumblebee is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Bumblebee is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and heads, with the alternate visored face specifically resembling his G1 toy. The three pairs of hands he comes with are relaxed splayed-open hands, closed fists, and posed hands meant to hold his included Laser Blaster (which in turn is based on the pistol used in the cartoon). His back tire can also be removed.

:Bumblebee was redecoed into his Gold Edition release below and retooled with a new head into [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Threezero|Cliffjumper]].

**''Accessories:'' Egg holder/obstacle piece

:D'elicce once again released a ''Transformers''-themed Easter egg exclusive to Lojas Americanas in 2022. The included toy is now an evergreen Bumblebee car with the robot mode head sticking out of the roof, creating the illusion that Bumblebee is driving himself.

:The car is made of pure yellow plastic (except for the wheels which are black) and is completely hollow underneath due to the egg being stored inside of it in-packaging. It does come with a curved piece made of black plastic attached to its underside that helps to keep the egg in place, but it's not supposed to stay attached after removing the egg since it prevents the car from touching the ground with its own wheels. The piece can be loosely stuck inside the car for improvised storage, but it's clearly not designed to attach in any other way. Instead, the piece itself features a phrase (written in Portuguese) embossed on its inner side suggesting that it should be used as an "obstacle" for the car to play with. Hey, at least they tried to get creative with it. Meanwhile, an Autobot logo is embossed on the outer side of the piece.

:The toy features no paint applications and instead comes with a sticker sheet with 16 stickers—including the car's front grille, headlights, windows and decorative stripes—and instructions on where to apply them. Attention must be paid while applying the stickers, however, as the instructions incorrectly show the headlights and the rear side windows being applied to the opposite side to the one they were actually intended. The transparent plastic used as packaging tries (and fails) to give the impression that the windows come pre-applied, but in reality only the robot's face actually comes as a pre-applied sticker.

*'''''Transformers'' Easter egg''' (2023)

:The 2023 version of D'elicce's Bumblebee is a big-headed robot mode figure made entirely of two pieces of yellow plastic. Opening the figure in half reveals a chocolate egg and a sticker sheet inside. As was the case with the previous release, only the face comes with a pre-applied sticker, while the stickers for the chest, arms and legs must be applied manually. The stickers for the arms feature noticeable movie-style Autobot insignias.

:Unsurprisingly, this toy was once again exclusive to Lojas Americanas.

:''Super Cyborg'' Bumblebee is an 11-inch-tall non-transforming vinyl figure produced by [[Super7]]. Its most significant feature is the ability to remove the entire front of the torso to reveal sculpted inner mechanical detailing.

*'''Bumblebee (Clear)''' (2021)

The set also includes an alternate head for Bumblebee styled after his Generation 1 toy. Due to their small size, all 4 figures in each series are sold in the same blister card.

*'''VHS Minimates Box Set''' (2022)

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

He features 26 points of articulation and is decoed in an attempt at [[show-accuracy]], with an extra smattering of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''-style battle damage. His robot mode is based on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLo1eYQASuE/ concept art] by [[Ken Christiansen]], which had earlier influenced Bumblebee's look in the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|2019 IDW ongoing comic]] and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' animated series.

:Bumblebee's chest plate can be removed to reveal details meant to represent his "inner workings". He comes with two sets of hands: one pair of closed fists, and one pair of open hands for holding weaponry and accessories. Speaking of which, he also includes a small blaster accessory (though his product description claims he has two), along with a pair of fire blast effects to simulate weapons discharge. He also comes with an Energon cube.

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

**''Known designers:'' Kelvin Sau

:[[Threezero]]'s debut figure for the MDLX line, this version of Bumblebee is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Bumblebee is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and heads, with the alternate visored face specifically resembling his G1 toy. The three pairs of hands he comes with are relaxed splayed-open hands, closed fists, and posed hands meant to hold his included Laser Blaster (which in turn is based on the pistol used in the cartoon). His back tire can also be removed.

:Bumblebee was redecoed into his Gold Edition release below and retooled with a new head into [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Threezero|Cliffjumper]].

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

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

:''Optimus Prime is the [[Prime (rank)|leader]] of the evil [[Autobot]]s from the [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Optimusshatteredsipher.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|[[Maurice LaMarche|REAL HOLOGRAPHIC SIMULATED EVIL LINCOLN IS '''''BAAAAAACK!!!''''']]]]

'''Optimus Prime''' is the tyrannical leader of the evil [[Autobot]]s, a cruel and ambitious despot whose plans fall nothing short of [[Autobot Imperium|universal conquest]]. Long ago, he cheated and backstabbed his way to the top of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]ian society, and used the power afforded by his new position to gather an army and initiate a war against the complacent.

The crucible of war has burned away most of the traits that Optimus once relied upon: where once he coldly plotted and schemed, now he surrounds himself with the corpses of his enemies and would-be usurpers and talks to them as though they still live. Ruthless and utterly unhinged, Prime will gleefully send dozens of Autobots to their deaths if it means gaining the tiniest of advantages, and his deadly outbursts inspire terror in allies and enemies alike. His casual disregard for the lives of his followers means that his powerbase is shaky at best—shaky to the point where multiple Autobots have conspired to remove their leader from the picture. But few of those would-be traitors underestimate just ''how'' stubborn their leader is: if there's something he wants, Optimus Prime will level mountains, extinguish suns, or wade through a sea of Autobot corpses to get his hands on it... and there's nothing he wants more than to keep his power.

The only thing standing in Prime's path to domination is [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], a noble [[Decepticon]] willing to lead a small band of rebels in a fight for freedom.

Before he was known as Optimus Prime, he is sometimes an archivist known as '''Optronix''', and other times a [[Senate|Senator]] called '''Orion Pax'''.

In at least one universe, Optimus has been [[Unicron/Shattered Glass|remade]] into the enlightened '''Nova Prime''', and given a chance to redeem himself.

==Fiction==
===Fun Publications ''Shattered Glass'' continuity===
[[File:Optronixshattered.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|The Dewey Decimal System is a cruel mistress.]]
Long ago, Optronix was a dangerously obsessed librarian who worked in the [[Great Cybertronian Archives]] during the [[Golden Age]]. During his time in the Archives, he sought through the vast store of information for the ultimate truth, the meaning of life. However, as he searched, he came to a dark conclusion: there was none. The only meaningful impact one could leave was their own history, their great deeds being recorded for posterity. Optronix snapped when he realized he was a nobody, but that if he became someone else, he could change that. {{storylink|Coalescence}} Backstabbing his way up the ranks, he soon amassed a following of like-minded Cybertronians who believed in his code of advancement through conflict. Suddenly, his armies attacked, sweeping through cities and killing those who refused to join them. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}} {{storylink|#Toys|BotCon 2008 Optimus Prime profile card}} Among those who joined Prime in the [[Second Cybertronian war (SG)|second Cybertronian war]] was his brother [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|Treadshot (SG)#Toys|BotCon 2012 Treadshot profile card}} When the scientist [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]] turned down Optronix's offer, he ordered Starscream's [[Crystal City]] home to be destroyed in front of him. {{storylink|Starscream (SG)|BotCon 2008 Starscream profile card}} With their spoils, his "Autobots" began arming themselves with more complicated weaponry, but Optronix, now named Optimus Prime, saved the most advanced upgrades for himself. Rumors of a discovery spread that one day he'd discovered knowledge that had driven him mad, and that in place of his cold calculations was now an unhinged mind bent on random, indiscriminate violence, but these were incorrect understandings of why he'd started on his path. He strung up his countless victims along the walls of [[Great Dome|his headquarters]] in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and began talking to them, asking them mockingly for advice. However, even this may have simply been his own way of making himself even more legendary a figure, albeit in the most monstrous of ways.

But [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], a young champion from [[Polyhex]], gathered an army to oppose him. Megatron's forces also had a way to counter Optimus Prime's military superiority: the ability to configure their bodies into alternate forms. It did not take long for Optimus Prime to steal this "Decepticon" technology for himself. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}

[[File:Invasion-MagnusFlashback.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|Only an evil Optimus Prime would rip off someone's face!]]

At some point [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]] staged a coup. It ended unsuccessfully, with Optimus ripping off Magnus's face and imprisoning him on [[Paradron]]. {{storylink|Invasion (issue)|Invasion}}

When the Decepticons destroyed all but one of the rogue mercenary group named the [[Wreckers]] in the battle of [[Praxus-Delta]], Optimus Prime welcomed their leader, [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]], into his ranks. {{storylink|Rodimus (SG)|BotCon 2008 Rodimus profile card}} Increasingly paranoid, Optimus Prime began suspecting his subordinates of treachery. He killed the leader of his elite [[Seeker (SG)|Seeker]] unit, [[Drench (SG)|Drench]], and when he learned of Seeker [[Sideswipe (SG)|Sideswipe]]'s dissatisfaction with his leader's assassination, Prime staged an ambush to kill him. However, not only did Sideswipe narrowly escape and join the Decepticons, {{storylink|Sideswipe (SG)|BotCon 2008 Sideswipe profile card}} one of Optimus's few friends and savior at the [[Torus Heights]] battles, [[Cliffjumper (SG)|another Autobot]], happened to be at the [[Rad Zone|location of the ambush]] and did get killed. Optimus never learned of this though, and assumed Cliffjumper had died in the battle at [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]]. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}} Optimus chose Rodimus in place of Sideswipe and [[Goldbug (SG)|Bumblebee]] to take Drench's place as the Seeker unit's new leader, having him rebuilt into the fearsome Goldbug. {{storylink|Goldbug (SG)|BotCon 2008 Goldbug profile card}}

Optimus began looking elsewhere. He targeted the distant planet Earth for conquest, had several of his Autobots reconfigure their bodies to transform into the machinery native to the planet, and began construction of an ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]''. However, he requested so much weaponry to be built onto the starship that the integrity of the launching platform was in question. He dismissed these concerns.

[[File:Optimusshatteredhallway.jpg|left|upright=1.67|thumb|Optimus got a [[Skyquake (SG)|Skyquake]] in his collection?? Wow! Yeah, the plastic [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|does that]].]]

Close to the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s completion, [[Cliffjumper (SG)|Cliffjumper]] appeared to return from the dead. At first, he was readily welcomed back into their ranks, but they quickly learned that he was not their Cliffjumper at all, but a [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper doppelganger]]. Prime shot him and ordered his body dumped in the [[Rad Zone]]. This backfired, as Cliffjumper was recruited by the Decepticons, and during a subsequent full-scale Decepticon attack, his [[glass gas]] weaponry was used in an attack on the ''Ark'' launching platform. Prime's plans to conquer Earth were stopped for the moment. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}

After a later Autobot ambush at the recently rediscovered [[Arch-Ayr]] fuel dump, the Cliffjumper doppelgänger angrily rushed Optimus Prime, followed by the combined forces of the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]]. Despite it all, Optimus Prime kept on his feet, though his rage was growing with every blow. No one, however, was expecting the sudden arrival of an army of [[Dinobot (SG)|Dinobot]]s led by the exiled mad scientist, [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]]. Optimus Prime ordered the rampaging Dinobots to destroy the Decepticons, but instead the beasts attacked each other. During the chaos, both sides withdrew.

Optimus Prime was furious at the Autobots' failure. At [[Side Burn (SG)|Side Burn]]'s clever suggestion, Prime ordered Wheeljack be put in charge of rebuilding the ''Ark'', a task that the mad scientist felt was beneath him. Also, he demanded that the Dinobots be hunted down and gathered for the Autobots' purposes.

Blurr and Rodimus returned triumphantly with eight Dinobots, though Rodimus had lost his hand in the process. Optimus Prime stood over Rodimus as he awoke from [[Ratchet (SG)|Ratchet]]'s table: the traitorous Seeker now had a buzzsaw in place of where his hand used to be. A suitable punishment! Prime told Rodimus he should be grateful he let him live at all. Perhaps he should use the saw to remove that [[facial hair|ridiculous thing]] from his face? Though Blurr and Rodimus thought Grimlock had died during their search for the Dinobots, sure enough, Grimlock appeared, alive and strangely very intelligent, within their base. Optimus Prime was about to punish Grimlock as well, but Grimlock pointed out a fuel system error in the blueprints of the ''Ark''. The evil Autobot leader let the Dinobot leader go, but demanded someone be brought to him he could destroy. {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

When Optimus Prime ordered the ''Ark'' fixed, he knew that the Decepticons would try to follow the Autobots into space. [[Jazz (SG)|Jazz]] mentioned that [[Ricochet (SG)|Ricochet]] had taken care of the Decepticons. Optimus's eyes filled with rage as he learned that Ricochet had captured Megatron. Prime immediately left to reprimand Ricochet for stealing the honor of destroying Megatron. Upon his arrival at the [[Temple of Knowledge]], Optimus and Ricochet were attacked by a group of Decepticon [[Micromaster]]s, allowing Megatron to escape. After a few turnabouts, Megatron won the day. The ''Ark'' launched without Optimus Prime (due to Rodimus' treachery), so Prime ordered a retreat. Once back at the launch site, he learned from Blurr that Rodimus had thrown the Autobots loyal to Prime off the ship. Optimus Prime ordered Ricochet to the [[Agonizing Rehabilitation Chamber]]s for his impudent plan of capturing Megatron. He also promised that Blurr had failed him for the last time. {{storylink|Do Over}}

In one of [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]]'s explanatory flashbacks to [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]], [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]], and [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], Optimus Prime asked [[Ironhide (SG)|Ironhide]] how progress was coming on [[Omega Doom]]. He was pleased to hear that it was going well, and gloated that once the behemoth was finished, the galaxy would be his for the taking.

[[File:TakingOutRemotePatrol6 Reunification5.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|I said, [[Frenzy (SG)|Rumble]] [[FIRRIB|is]] [[Eject (G1)|blue!]]]]
In the present day, Rodimus promised that his assassins would take down Optimus Prime at the same time [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]]'s agents took down Megatron, thus paving the way for their own conquering. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 3}}

Or not.

After the assassination of Megatron, (of which Optimus learned about second-hand from ''[[Around Cybertron]]'') {{storylink|Around Cybertron issue 6|Around Cybertron #6}} [[Hound (SG)|Hound]] and [[Remote Patrol Six]] made their move, surrounding Optimus Prime and Ricochet as they discussed Megatron's death, intending to kill Optimus and install Rodimus in his place as Prime. Hound's rally cries failed to impress Optimus, and the Autobot leader proceeded to use Ricochet as a living shield against a blast from [[Warpath (SG)|Warpath's]] chest-mounted cannon, before crushing [[Kup (SG)|Kup]]'s head with his bare hands, destroying Warpath's chest cannon, taking out Hound by flinging Warpath into him, and cannon-blasting [[Camshaft (SG)|Camshaft]] in the head.

However, the battle was not over yet, as [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]], [[Sky Lynx (SG)|Sky Lynx]], and [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]] had arrived to kill Optimus themselves. However, Prime introduced the trio to a completed [[Omega Doom]], who reduced Alpha Trion to a distant smear on the ground, before going off to destroy the Decepticons while Optimus dealt with Sky Lynx and Nightscream. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}} {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

Optimus Prime was destroyed and left to die during an important battle in [[Mirtonian constellation|Sector 17 of the Mirtonian Quadrant]]. After Prime was abandoned by his troops, he dragged himself into a nearby [[CR chamber]], and with the help of a local tech, he was upgraded into a new body with a sword made out of a mysterious "[[G-Metal]]". Optimus Prime returned to [[Polyhex]] and murdered many of those who had abandoned him. {{storylink|#Toys|BotCon 2012 Optimus Prime profile card}}

[[File:AnotherLight-novaprime.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|So if this is the opposite universe, would he be voiced by William Shatner?]]

Some time after Prime returned, his brother Ultra Magnus and the [[Junkion (species)#Shattered Glass|Junkion]]s were sprung from the prison planet of Paradron by Wheeljack and [[Tracks (SG)|Tracks]]. Optimus Prime watched over a viewscreen as Magnus killed several of his most loyal warriors. After Magnus and his new army escaped via the [[Space bridge|stellar spanner]] into an alternate universe, Optimus Prime activated a distress beacon, knowing that Magnus's rival [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]] would do his dirty work for him. {{storylink|Invasion (issue)|Invasion}}

In [[2015]], Prime mounted an all-out assault on [[Decepticon City (SG)|Decepticon City]]. Before long, Galvatron arrived from Cybertron, and the two leaders wound up in a one-on-one confrontation. Optimus quickly gained the upper hand, but scheming interference by Rodimus led to the Autobot leader taking a serious gunshot wound. {{storylink|Memory's Splinter}} With the tide turned, the Autobots retreated to Sky Lynx, with [[Blaster (SG)|Blaster]] carrying the injured Optimus aboard. {{storylink|Restoration}}

En route to Cybertron, Sky Lynx announced that he had insufficient power to carry all his passengers there, and Optimus was among those who Rodimus dumped out. Floating through space, Prime found himself in the presence of [[Unicron/Shattered Glass|Unicron]]. {{storylink|Familiar Reflections}} However, the fragment of Unicron he encountered was his rare good side, so Unicron restored Prime's sanity and rebuilt him into '''Nova Prime''' as a messenger of justice. With [[Brawn (SG)|X-Brawn]], [[Prowl (SG)|Checkpoint]], and the Autotroopers serving as his [[Knights of Unicron (SG)|Knights of Unicron]], Nova Prime returned to Cybertron to end the threat of the evil Autobots. He defeated Rodimus in combat and cast him down into the depths of Cybertron. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

Unfortunately, while Nova Prime's forces were rounding up the other Autobots, Unicron's opposite number [[Primus/Shattered Glass|Primus]] chose to manifest himself. The deity-turned-planet reverted to his robot mode, and intended to eliminate the infestation of other-dimensional vermin from his plane, including the positive universe's planet Earth. Surprisingly, Earth transformed into a Light God named [[Gaea]], empowered by the [[Rarified Energon]] of that world as her lifeblood. As the dark Primus and Gaea battled, Nova Prime brought his troops within range and fired as one at Primus's eye, blinding him long enough for Gaea to defeat him.

[[File:AnotherLight-happyending.jpg|thumb|upright=2]]

Gaea reverted into her planet mode, now existing as a mechanical world, and replaced Primus as the Cybertron of that reality. As a council of governors formed to oversee the united Cybertronians of two worlds, Nova Prime and his Knights served as guardians of the rulers. His insanity finally quelled, Nova Prime was at peace and found his new world... beautiful. {{storylink|The Future Buried...}}

At some unspecified point in time, a team of Autobots somehow under the command of both [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus Prime]] and Optimus Prime fought [[Thundercracker (SG)|Thundercracker]] and [[Ravage (SG)|Ravage]] in the Transformers' greatest battle on Earth, "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (SG)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]". According to Ravage, anyway. {{storylink|Recordicons issue 3|Recordicons #3}}

===IDW ''Shattered Glass'' continuity===

[[File:ShatteredGlass2-OrionPax.JPG|thumb|right|250px|I hope nothing bad happens to his left window after that.]]

In the years before the Great War, Orion Pax was a member of the Cybertronian [[Senate]]. Although Orion claimed that he merely sought to bring order to a disorganized and chaotic Cybertron, and even maintained a nominal friendship with the miner turned civil rights advocate [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], this affable facade concealed his authoritarian ambitions and his insatiable lust for power. Orion recruited other Cybertronians who shared his goals, among them the law clerk [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]], whose expertise Orion used to keep his activities legal until the time was right. As a reward for Magnus' service, Orion assigned him command of an enforcer squad that would be "capable of bringing true order to Cybertron". After the squad branded themselves as the "[[Wreckers]]", Pax sent them to launch a terrorist attack on the Senate, ordering them to abduct senator [[Shockwave (SG)|Shockwave]] and subject him to the brain-damaging [[empurata]] procedure. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 2|Shattered Glass #2}} {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}}

Controlling the Senate was not enough for Orion. To truly succeed in his power grab, however, Orion needed an advantage no one else on Cybertron could hope to match: when [[Jetfire (SG)|Jetfire]] and [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]] visited the Senate to secure funding for their research on Cybertron's [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s, Orion immediately took an interest in their proposal to excavate and reawaken [[Metroplex (SG)|Metroplex]], the Titan they'd partly unearthed near [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Although Jetfire took an interest in the proposal, Starscream, unsure whether they could trust their would-be benefactor turned down the offer. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 3|Shattered Glass #3}} Later that day, Orion pulled some strings to have Megatron released from prison after his latest rally turned violent and ended with his arrest. Orion's demands that Megatron stop his protests sparked a final argument between the pair, which escalated into physical violence and, eventually, Megatron shattering Orion's windshield and declaring that their friendship was over for good. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 2|Shattered Glass #2}}

[[File:ShatteredGlass2-autobotstriumphant.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

At some point afterwards, Jetfire, worried about the day when their funding finally ran dry, went behind Starscream's back to take Orion up on his offer. However, Starscream had secretly tailed Jetfire to the meeting with Orion's inner cadre; when Pax overheard the noise, he had [[Goldbug (SG)|Bumblebee]] and [[Prowl (SG)|Prowl]] capture Starscream and bring him before the group. Starscream fled before the Autobot leader could execute him, but as a result Jetfire now permanently stood with the Autobots. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 3|Shattered Glass #3}}

Subsequent events are unclear; some point after this series of events, Orion took on the name "Optimus Prime", overthrew the Senate, and plunged the planet into global war against Megatron's Decepticons. Eventually, he and his followers left Cybertron entirely and travelled to [[Earth]] with the intent of plundering its supplies of [[Rarified Energon]]. Megatron pursued them off-planet, while other Decepticons arrived later to help defend Earth, and the battles between the two factions grew increasingly destructive. Finally, with the Earth in ruins and on the cusp of an unwinnable battle against their foes, Megatron felt that there was no other way to keep the Decepticons alive other than sacrificing himself and buying time for Starscream to take the remaining Decepticons offworld and into hiding. After a brief battle, Optimus triumphed, beat Megatron to the brink of death, and went on to pillage the Earth before returning to Cybertron. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 2|Shattered Glass #2}}

[[File:ShatteredGlass4-Goldbugvsoptimus.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Insert ''Ren & Stimpy'' joke here.]]

On the way back to Cybertron, Optimus granted [[Ratchet (SG)|Ratchet]] permission to use a spare [[protoform]] to revive the fallen Bumblebee. Bumblebee returned as the more powerful "[[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]]", but was disappointed to learn that Prime had only sanctioned the procedure because they had material to spare, not out of any kind of affection for his lieutenant. With the Decepticons scattered and on the run, the Autobots set about rebuilding Iacon. However, when Goldbug warned Optimus that Prowl was planning a coup, Optimus arrogantly informed him that he could deal with whatever Goldbug was planning. When Goldbug pushed the issue, Optimus savagely beat the little Autobot as a reminder as to who was in charge. Unsurprisingly, Goldbug fell in with Prowl instead, who sent Goldbug to assassinate Prime on his new throne in Iacon, which he had renamed "Pax" in honour of his former identity. Goldbug fought hard, but was ultimately unable to deliver the killing blow against the much larger Autobot and retreated. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 4|Shattered Glass #4}}

By the present day, Cybertron had balkanized into three distinct, feuding fiefdoms, each ruled by one of the three Autobot warlords. Optimus Prime maintained control of Pax, but the treacherous terrain of the [[Chrome Ridge]] prevented him from expanding his territory to the [[Static Zone]] which divided his territory from Goldbug's capital of [[Kaon (polity)|Gold City]]. The freelance [[bodyscrapper]] [[Blurr (SG)|Blurr]] occasionally worked for Optimus. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 1|Shattered Glass #1}} After Megatron retook Gold City and deposed Goldbug, [[Ultra Magnus (SG)|Ultra Magnus]] told his spy [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]] that Optimus had plans for [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]]'s disembodied spark, which held the secret of how to rouse the Titans from their slumber. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 5|Shattered Glass #5}}

Ultra Magnus later came before a visibly bored Optimus Prime to inform him of the danger about Metroplex rising, the Prime only rising from his throne to put [[Jazz (SG)|Jazz]] in his place. Though the Wreckers initially withdrew, Magnus soon returned to the throne room, having finally snapped and given in to his lust for power. Though Optimus initially held the advantage, Magnus managed to disable his right arm, allowing the Wrecker leader to overpower the Prime and claim his throne. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}}

Still plagued by self-confidence issues however, Ultra Magnus did not believe he could lead the Autobots as himself, instead conspiring to steal Optimus's body. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}} After being repaired, Optimus was brought to Metroplex, {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 4|Shattered Glass II #4}} where his [[spark]] was extracted and placed in Magnus's body. Having his leg cut off and his [[voice box]] disabled, Optimus was left to impotently scream, a state in which he was found by [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] and [[Wheeljack (SG)|Slicer]]. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}}

As a redeco of ''Masterpiece'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Convoy]], he transforms into a Freightliner FL86, though the back half is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion (so much that a ladder is on each side). Although not easily breakable, care must be taken for posing the index fingers; extending the finger even far would cause it to pop off.

:Optimus Prime also comes with a hand-held ion blaster which can collapse and store inside a compartment on his back in either mode, as well as an energon-axe that slips over Optimus Prime's right hand. He also lacks the [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Roller (G1)#Masterpiece|Roller]] figures. Shattered Glass Optimus Prime also comes with his own Combat Deck and [[die-cast]] Matrix of Leadership, the latter of which remains the same colors as the original MP-10 Convoy.

:The packaging design very closely resembles then-concurrent ''Generations''-branded ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'', featuring numerous elements otherwise unique to ''Platinum Edition'' packaging, except the title "Platinum Edition" is replaced by "Shattered Glass". Given that Hasbro never used the ID number MP-09 within its ''Generations Masterpiece'' range of MP-01 to MP-10, and that Shattered Glass Optimus Prime was released between [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|MP-08]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Masterpiece|MP-10]], it is possible MP-09 was intended to be his.

:This figure was later repurposed as [[Purple Wicked Convoy#Masterpiece|Purple Wicked Convoy]] by ''[[Generations Selects Special Comic]]''.

:*''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Matrix of Leadership]]

:A ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' add-on to ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'', Shattered Glass Optimus Prime is a redeco of ''Earthrise'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]] without [[Combat Deck (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|his trailer]]. He features a color scheme inspired by his ''Masterpiece'' toy, complete with a cracked window. Optimus Prime is Voyager Class-sized mold with the front of the head and legs, knee flaps, and various inner parts reused from ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Optimus Prime]]. This also means that, like the ''Siege'' toy, the truck mode is unusually small for a Voyager figure.

:The figure features an opening chest compartment containing a removable ''evil'' [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Matrix of Leadership]].<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-selects-deluxe-wfc-gs17-shattered-glass-ratchet-and-optimus-prime "...the pack features an evil Matrix of Leadership accessory."]</ref> His transformation scheme reuses some engineering and concepts from the ''Siege'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime figures and ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS38|38 Optimus Prime]], with a new torso transformation. Interestingly, his rear wheels are borrowed from ''Studio Series'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS32|32]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#SS44|44 Optimus Prime]]. Optimus Prime features a hinge joint in each of his knuckles but without the flip-out post hole mechanism, instead of having it facilitated by the shape of his palm and thumb. Interestingly, the placement of his front wheels in robot mode evokes the [[Studio OX]] version of his character model (though significantly larger compared to the artwork). Optimus also has molded drilled-rotor brake discs, a surprising detail for a mainline ''Transformers'' figure.

:As the front grill/wheel piece is connected with a c-clip, removing it allows the waist to turn without being hindered. Whether by coincidence or not, the Energon Strikeshield from the ''Siege'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime figure can attach onto the forearm (if the hands are tucked away) with the tabs on the axe's hinged handle, though it looks better on the left side.

:The product description for the set made mention of ''Shattered Glass'' comics by [[IDW Publishing]],<ref>[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/134753 "...inspired by the Shattered Glass comics created in partnership with IDW..."]</ref> either being a mis-credit of [[Fun Publications]] comic or a far too-early mention of IDW's [[2021]] ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (IDW)|Shattered Glass]]'' comic.

:He is bundled with [[Ratchet (SG)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Shattered Glass Ratchet]], and was revealed on the [[September 8]] [https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4pc4OgZb6/ TransformersTuesday]. Much like most 2020 ''Selects'' product, the toy is only branded as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' and not ''Earthrise''.

:This figure was later repurposed as [[Purple Wicked Convoy#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Purple Wicked Convoy]] by "[[Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Part 2]]".

:Part of [[Flame Toys]]' ''Furai Model'' line of {{w|Gundam model|Gunpla}}-style model kits, "Shattered Glass Optimus Prime (Attack Mode)" is an articulated, non-transforming, Voyager Class-sized {{w|Gunpla}}-style model kit redecoed from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Furai Model|Optimus Prime (Attack Mode) model kit]] mold. Using parts made of hard ABS plastic and some polycaps, Optimus Prime (Attack Mode) is an original design created by Flame Toys in collaboration with [[Akira Amemiya]] of [[Studio Trigger]].

:For straight-assembly builders, Optimus Prime Prime features a sheet of foil stickers for detail (notably the shoulder insignias), though the kit can be panel-lined and touched-up with several panel-lining and paint markers (water/acrylic-based markers are recommended, as alcohol-based markers like ''Gundam Markers'' can potentially damage the ABS plastic). If one desires; the kit's pieces, aside from the translucent parts, can be fully coated with spray paints to recreate the finished sample seen in the stock photos.

:A redeco of [[Threezero]]'s [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#MDLX|Optimus Prime]] figure for the MDLX line, this version of the ''evil'' Optimus is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Optimus Prime is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure, comparable to contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, features interchangeable hands and accessories, namely his ion blaster, energon axe and Matrix of Leadership. He comes with a suite of hands in pairs: closed fists, splayed-out relaxed hands, and three different pairs meant to specifically hold each one of the aforementioned accessories. His chest (adorned with a shattered tampograph!) is magnetically attached and as such can store the Matrix when not in use. Optimus comes with his backpack piece disassembled in package. He also retains his positive counterpart's functionality with the [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#Threezero|Starscream]] mold.

:He was previously redecoed into both [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Threezero|Nemesis Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Threezero|Ultra Magnus]].

==Notes==
*Optimus Prime's bio art was featured on the back of one of two T-shirts made available at BotCon 2008, and later on the [[Fun Publications]] Official [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] web-store.
*''Shattered Glass'' prose story writers [[Trent Troop]] and [[Greg Sepelak]] stated that evil Optimus sounds like Venger, the {{w|Dungeons & Dragons (TV series)|''Dungeons & Dragons'' cartoon}} villain voiced by [[Peter Cullen]].
*Unlike his heroic doppelgänger, this version of Optimus Prime was never depicted in fiction with a trailer, outside of a single lithograph that introduced us to the nefarious [[Combat Deck (SG)|Combat Deck]]. His 2016 ''Masterpiece'' figure, on the other hand, gives him one.

Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise

Wtrz: /* Threezero */

{{suite}}

As a frequent redeco/retool of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise|Optimus Prime]], '''Ultra Magnus''' has a lot of merchandise! Can he deal with it all?

==Power Tronic==
[[File:Ultra Magnus 001.JPG|right|thumb|He's got the touch. In his brain.]]
*'''Pulsating Light AM Radio''' (Nasta, 1986)
:Pulsating Light AM Radio is a 7.5" tall AM radio in the shape of Ultra Magnus's head, produced by [[Nasta]]. It takes 4 AA batteries (two in each antenna) to make him sing, but when he does, his eyes and forehead light up.
:The head of Ultra Magnus could be yours for just $12.99.
{{-}}

*'''Electronic Voice Synthesizer''' (Nasta, 1986)
[[File:Magnus voice changer.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]
:Sculpted in the likeness of Ultra Magnus but unnamed on its blister card packaging, this "Electronic Voice Synthesizer" produced by Nasta ran on a 9-volt battery and allowed children to "talk like a robot" by mouthing words into the plastic straw attached to its back and holding down the button on its side. Remember, "robots talk slowly and enunciate each word"! Since it was able to create synthesized speech from mouth movements without sound, the toy was used as an inexpensive replacement for electrolarynx devices.<ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/1987-03-16/business/fi-6286_1_toy 'Toy' Gives a Voice to the Voiceless]</ref><ref>[http://gtalumni.org/Publications/techtopics/spr92/robot.html Ramblin' Robot has a Sense for Trouble]</ref><ref>[http://gtalumni.org/Publications/magazine/fall90/bloomfie.html Bloomfield's Robot]</ref><ref>Synthesized Voice by David J.

==3-D Jigsaw Stand Up Puzzle==
[[File:UltraMagnus 3Dpuzzle.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1986)

:This piece of Ultra Magnus merchandise was a jigsaw puzzle in disguise! The 100-piece puzzle, titled "Ultra Magnus frees Bumblebee from the Decepticon Ice Cave!", depicted Magnus approaching a frozen [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] (though identified as [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]) in battle with the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]], but once broken down, the puzzle pieces could be assembled into a three-dimensional model of Ultra Magnus in either robot or truck mode, albeit with a red Optimus Prime-style cab, instead of his own traditional white.

==Watchbot==
[[File:Magnus watch screencaps.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (Watch, 1986, 1993)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''W-2'''
{{toydesigner|[[Takashi Matsuda]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Ultra Magnus was one of three characters released as digital watches in Japan by Takara in 1986 to promote the [[Scramble City (toyline)|''Scramble City'' toyline]] (the others being [[Superion (G1)#Watchbot|Superion]] & [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Watchtron|Galvatron]]). Cross-promoted in [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (manga)|''TV Magazine''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s manga]] as a [[wrist-communicator]], "Watchbot" (ウォッチボット) Ultra Magnus is a small representation of the character with a clock in his chest. With the push of a lever he "transformed" into a full tiny figure complete with legs, standing up on the watch band. The figure cannot be removed from the watch, but the arms do rotate.

:Takara originally planned a North American release of the Ultra Magnus watch toy in 1986 and photographs of it were shown in their 1986 US product catalog. For unknown reasons, its intended 1986 release in the US was cancelled.

:Ultra Magnus and the other watches were later re-released in 1993 as part of an expanded line of Transformers watches that was sold directly in North America by Takara as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' merchandise.

==Vinyl figurine==
[[File:Vinyl magnus.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|We can assure you it is not a [[knockoff]].]]
*'''Scramble Gun Set''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''Part.2'''
:Like the Galvatron figure packaged with ''Transform Jr'' Ultra Magnus listed [[#Transform Jr|above]], Ultra Magnus was one of several characters released by Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of sets, in packaging similar to the ''Transform Jr'' line (though lacking the "Jr" part of the logo). Magnus came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four peach-colored [[Decoy]] figures. He took the place of a figure of Optimus Prime, who had been included in the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|"Part.1"]] version of the set. {{-}}[[File:Ultra Magnus Vinyl Dart Set.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|200pts for hitting Magnus]]

*'''Dart Game''' (1986)
:The Ultra Magnus vinyl figure was also included in a TF packaged Dart Gun set. This set included the Ultra Magnus figure, dart scoreboard, dart gun, two darts and a green plastic watch.
{{-}}

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum magnus.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]

*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1986)
**''Accessories:'' Rifle, large robot head, large robot fists (left and right), pelvis/connector

:A model kit of Ultra Magnus was among the many released by [[Kabaya]] as part of their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line of [[candy toy]]s. Released as part of the line's third wave, Magnus is molded in red, white and blue plastic, lacking in paint applications but featuring stickers for detail. As a downsized model, he lost some of the features of his larger toy: His cab no longer transforms into a small robot, simply converting into the transitional form necessary to combine with the trailer, though it does still feature a flip-out small robot head for Magnus's large head to attach to. As the name suggests, he also came with a stick of gum.
{{-}}
[[File:TFGum2010 ultramagnus.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Rifle, two rocket launchers

:A new, smaller version of Ultra Magnus was released as part of the revived ''Transformers Gum'' line in 2010, debuting as part of the second wave of figures. A wholly new sculpt (based on the Titanium figure), the new kit is made mostly of dark blue plastic, with a little bit of white and black, and a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to add color and detail; for instance, Magnus's (non-transforming) cab is completely covered all around in white stickers to cover the fact it's made of blue plastic!
{{-}}

==Transformers Ramune==
[[File:Decoy magnus.jpg|right|thumb]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1986)

:While no figure of Ultra Magnus was released by [[Hasbro]] as part of their 1987 [[Decoy]] promotion, the Autobot commander did have a soft rubber figure crafted in his image that was available exclusively in Japan, as part of a second wave of the figures released there in the ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' line by [[Kabaya]], along with other ''Transformers 2010'' characters. Like the other figures in this series, Magnus was sold in a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] box and was available in multiple colors, including red, blue and yellow.
{{-}}

==Forms Robo==
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1987)

:Magnus was also part of the small, Japanese-exclusive ''[[Forms Robo]]'' collection of larger "Decoy"-style figures, with this version of the character standing at around twice the height of a regular Decoy. Like the other figures in this wave, Magnus was packaged in an individual baggie and was available in red, blue, green and yellow.
{{-}}

==Peters==
[[File:Ultra-Magnus-Peters-bar.jpg|thumb|200px|Now you can tell your friends you bought a forty-cent Ultra Magnus.]]

*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1987)
:Produced by [[Australia]]n ice cream brand [[Nestlé|Peters]], this delicious Ultra Magnus ice cream bar was a chocolate ice treat that "transformed" into either a chewy bubble-gum stick or a caramel toffee stick!
{{-}}

==Collegeville Costumes==
[[File:Ultramagnus halloween costume.jpg|right|thumb|I am a robot. I am here to take American jobs!]]
*'''Ultra Magnus Halloween costume''' (1986)

:Ultra Magnus was one of a small number of characters that [[Collegeville Costumes]] turned into a Halloween costume. This two-piece outfit adhered to the crappy, time-worn tradition of consisting of a sculpted, thin plastic mask held over the wearer's face with elastic, and a smock with a picture of Ultra Magnus and his name on it.

*'''Ultra Magnus mask''' (1986)

: Collegeville also immortalized Magnus in their line of ''Transformers'' masks. Made from flat styrofoam, the mask featured a hinge that allowed the wearer to lift it up and down, transforming from kid to robot in the blink of an eye!
{{-}}

==Parody Deformed==
[[File:Pdtype magnus.jpg|right|thumb|[[Gold Plastic Syndrome]] bound to happen anytime now.]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (1990)
:A small, non-transforming, super-deformed model kit of Ultra Magnus was available as part of Kabaya's "[[Parody Deformed]]" line of candy toys. The second figure of the fourth wave (the sixteenth figure overall), he was available in multiple colours, including red, blue, and gold, and came with a "[[PDTF Comic]]" comic about himself, "Improve Yourself! Ultra Magnus!", as well as a stick of gum.
{{-}}

==Super Collection Figure==
[[File:SCF UltraMagnus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"Just think about what you want to do before you do it!" "Shut up Magnus, I'll spend another five dollars to find a blindpacked toy of you if I want to."]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (Super Collection Figure, December 2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch-tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Ultra Magnus was available in the first wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full-color figure and a clear-plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures. The "clearness" of the clear-plastic version can vary, from clean clear nigh-colorless to a somewhat yellowed tint that appears to have nothing to do with [[photodegradation]].

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFearlycolor}}
[[File:SCF Ultra Magnus Early Colors.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|This was, at the time, possibly the most "obscure" self-reference in a mainstream-ish ''Transformers'' product. How far we've come.]]
*'''Ultra Magnus (Early Colors)''' (September 2001)
**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: This redeco of the original ''Super Collection Figure'' Magnus figurine was available in the fourth wave of the ''SCF'' line, rendered in a color scheme based on the original [[Diaclone]] "Powered Convoy" figure, as seen in the famous [[The Transformers: The Movie promo|early trailer]] for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The figure was available in both full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, again one each per case of twelve.

: In eight out of ten cases of the Act, the pewter version of Magnus came packed with the head and guns of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure". These parts were also available in either full-color or clear-plastic, at an equal ratio of 4:4.

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

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Ultra Magnus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|2003 on left, 2006 on right. Yes, there are differences between the 2006 ''Heroes'' and the original ''SCF'' releases.]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (Heroes of Cybertron, 2003/2006)

: Ultra Magnus's original ''Super Collection Figure'' PVC was later released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of their ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line. Like all the figures in the series, Magnus was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere (using a considerably darker shade for the red parts) except on his eyes and the back of his head. Unlike the Japanese version, he was sold on a clearly-marked blister card.

: Magnus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. This version of Magnus was cast in solid blue plastic rather than translucent plastic. This makes him ''almost'' identical to the ''SCF'' version above, with the only (barely) noticeable differences being that ''Heroes'' Magnus's eyes are painted darker-than-the-plastic blue and his chestplate is unpainted blue plastic, unlike the ''SCF'' version's unpainted-blue-plastic eyes and painted-blue chestplate. This version also paints the blue parts on his back the same darker-than-the-plastic blue as the eyes, for whatever reason.

{{toydesigner|[[Kazutami Yasuhiko]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Released in the first wave of the ''[[MyClone]]'' line of Transformers PVC figures, this [[super deformed]] figure of Ultra Magnus comes with a hexagonal red display stand, which can link up with the identical stands included with other MyClone figures. His modular design allows his parts to be mixed and matched with those of any other MyClone figure. You can also reenact certain scenes from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' taking place on the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junk]].

:At only one inch in height, this Ultra Magnus "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers [[Generation 1 Figure-Collection]]. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.

==Palisades==
[[File:Palisades magnus statue.jpg|right|thumb]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (statue, 2004)

:[[Palisades Toys]]' Ultra Magnus statue is a redeco of their Optimus Prime statue from the previous year, and was one of the first pieces of modern merchandise (if not ''the'' first) to do the whole up-til-then-mostly-ignored "white repaint of Prime" shtick, capitalizing on [[Dreamwave Productions]]' recent highlighting of Magnus's white inner robot in their [[Revelation (War and Peace)|comics]]. Sculpted from polystone and limited to 500 pieces, the statue is based on the artwork of [[Pat Lee]]. It was initially sold by Palisades exclusively at [[OTFCC 2003]], with any remaining units that did not sell at the convention later made available on the company's website.

Artist submissions would be narrowed down to a top ten by the TFW2005 staff, before being narrowed down to a top five by forum voting, and finally a simple poll on the F4F homepage, with the winning design being turned into a real figure.

:The winning design, depicting an unhappy Ultra Magnus after an amusingly unfortunate attempt at opening the Matrix of Leadership, was created by fan Xu Wei (aka Ironbird), and was limited to 500 pieces in the U.S., and 500 pieces in Europe. An even more limited version of 100 pieces, decoed in the colours of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy [[Delta Magnus|Powered Convoy]], was available exclusively at the F4F online store.

:The original submitted art for Ultra Magnus was also put on a First 4 Figures exclusive poster, along with the rest of the top ten entrants. The posters measured 20 by 16 inches, and 500 prints were available for purchase.

:*''Accessories:'' Autobot stand?
:The final ''[[Titanium Series]]'' catalogue listed a number of "Micro Figures" intended for release, though many of them never saw the light of day. Among those listed was a 3" Robot Masters Ultra Magnus. This being the height of the white-Optimus-repaint fever, there were [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Titanium Series|a couple of mold choices to pick from]] for a base, though there's always the chance Ultra Magnus was supposed to get his own dedicated sculpt. Join us next time for more [[Robert Stack|unsolved mysteries]].

[[File:Revoltech UltraMagnus.JPG|right|upright=1.67|thumb|Don't I look awesome in naked?]]
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (2007)
**''Series number:'' '''019fs'''
**''Accessories:'' Photon rifle, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand, right handshaking hand

: ''[[Revoltech]]'' Ultra Magnus is, unsurprisingly, a redeco of a simultaneously released Optimus Prime/Convoy figure. A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated action figure, ''Revoltech'' Magnus uses the Revoltech "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime.

: Magnus comes with a photon rifle accessory, as well as a few alternate hands, but understandably lacks the Matrix of Leadership accessory that came with Prime. In its place is a unique extra "hand", a single molded piece of Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime's hands clasped together diagonally, so that when attached to both Prime and Magnus's respective wrists, it allows one to create a scene of the two Autobot leaders shakin' like homies. Additionally, although Magnus comes pre-assembled with the standard black revolver joints that Prime has, his packaging includes a sheet of replacement white joints one can use to customize Magnus with less obtrusive matching white joints (although not enough joints of the right style are included to swap out all black joints to optimal effect).

: ''Revoltech'' Ultra Magnus is released as a ''Friend Shop'' exclusive.

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

:The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.

:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

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

*'''Convoy''' (1999/2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand
:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine produced by [[Time House]] sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allow him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands and helmet, for some reason...

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

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

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

**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

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

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

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

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

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

:After taking a break for the seventh wave, Prime returned for the eighth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, which would prove to be the final Generation 1-themed set of figures. This figure of Prime in his Star Convoy body was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

:In eight out of every ten cases, the colored version came with the right arm for the wave's [[Scorponok (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Scorponok]] build-a-figure; this part could be in either full color or pewter, at a 4:4 ratio.

Both are cast in transparent plastic and completely painted over in a grimy, battle-damaged look. Both also come with the interchangeable energon-axe and mace weapons from their first-wave chase figures. Completing the theme of the set is the backdrop of the packaging interior, which depicts [[Sherman Dam]].

: Curiously, Optimus features the larger, rounded-off antennae of the [[Hasbro]] ''[[Heroes of Cybertron#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' version of the mold, which was in production/circulation about the same time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Scorponok (ROTB)

2024-02-09T23:00:06Z

Wtrz: /* Studio Series */ packaging quirks

{{disambig3|Scorponok}}
{{factions|predacon|terrorcon}}
:''The Scorponoks are [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]]-allied [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] from the [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (franchise)|Rise of the Beasts]] portion of the [[Movie continuity family]].''

[[File:ROTB Scorponok.jpg|thumb|300px|"These armor-plated, techno-advanced scorpion creatures are huge and pissed."]]

The '''Scorponoks''' are monstrous and malicious Predacon scorpion drones, being as either brute reinforcements for [[Unicron]]'s endless numbers of [[Sweep (ROTB)|Sweeps]] or ferocious pursuers that seek out and destroy targets for his Terrorcon servants.

They also have a [[Decepticon]] [[Scorponok (Movie)|counterpart]] out and about with the same name, although their connection to him is relatively unknown. Hell, who knows where these things came from, either!

==Fiction==
===''Rise of the Beasts'' film===
In search of the [[Transwarp Key]], Unicron deployed his forces to besiege the [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Maximal homeworld]], including three Scorponok drones ahead of senior acolyte [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]]. Two of them attacked [[Apelinq (ROTB)|Apelinq]], the [[Maximal]] leader who carried the Transwarp Key, but one Scorponok was quickly decapitated by [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]] and the other was engulfed in flames by [[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]].

When the Transwarp Key was activated on Earth in [[1994]], Unicron sent an army of Scorponoks through the transwarp portal as reinforcements for the Terrorcons and their hordes of Sweeps. The [[Autobot]]s, Maximals, and [[Noah Díaz]] fought the Predacon and Terrorcon army, with a Scorponok once again decapitated by Optimus Primal. In the ensuing battle, the Transwarp Key was destroyed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], sending the enemy forces up into the portal and back to Unicron's galaxy. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}

:Included with [[Scourge (ROTB)#BeastCombiner|Scourge]], Beast Combiners Scorponok converts into a set of armor for compatible figures via partial autotransformation. His claws form a secondary set of arms while his tail section detaches to form a handheld weapon. Unlike other combiner armors, Scorponok attaches facing forward rather than sideways.

{{toydesigner|[[Koki Yamada]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Released as part of a Target-exclusive ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' line, ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (toyline)|Rise of the Beasts]]'' Scorponok transforms from robot to monstrous robotic scorpion. Unlike other Beast Weaponizers, Scorponok comes with his own weapon, that being his detachable tail. Scorponok's fellow scorpion-bot and pack-in partner [[Sandspear]] also converts into a blade that he can wield.

:He features 5mm ports on his forearms, sides of his legs, and four on his tail weapon for additional playability. The circular holes on his knees are unfortunately not 5mm compatible.

:Interestingly, the robot mode head of this toy is based on that of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class [[Dead End (ROTF)#Deluxe|Dead End]], or more specifically, based on [https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/scorponok-movie-beast-wars-hybrid.1041390/ a fan-made custom] using that head, which happens to be one of the top results on Google Images when you type in stuff like "movie scorponok".

:The TakaraTomy release is a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive, and uses ''Rise of the Beasts'' style packaging.

:Part of the twenty-third wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxes, Scorponok is a movie-accurate version of the character, albeit in the wrong colors. He transforms from a robotic scorpion to a robot. His tail can be detached to use as a hand-held weapon.

:He comes with a backdrop that depicts the rainforest where the Autobots and Maximals briefly crossed swords in the film... though the box implies ''he'' is facing off against the Maximals there for unknown reasons.

:Like his wavemate [[Wheeljack (ROTB)#Studio Series|Wheeljack]], his box art curiously features his ''alternate mode'' instead of his robot mode. Furthermore, the Predacon insignia on the packaging is the live-action one previously seen on the ''Rise of the Beasts'' toyline packaging, while the instructions and figure itself use the regular one.

:Scorponok, alongside the first wave of 2024 Studio Series product, was revealed at MCM London 2023.

==Notes==
*It is unclear if the Scorponoks' status as Predacons is applicable to the film's setting, wherein the Scorponoks' sole purpose is to serve Unicron. The term "Predacon" is never used in the film, and the group's existence can only be inferred from the Beast Era insignia being barely visible on the Scorponoks' backs as well as Scourge having nine as trophies. Given that Scourge's schtick is harvesting insignias from defeated enemies of Unicron, it is questionable that the Scorponoks would be classified as sentient members of a different faction, but the film does not go into any detail on where the Scorponoks came from.
*Models from concept artist Fred Pashe identify alternate color schemes for Scorponok as "Sandstorm" (red) and "DoublePunch" (blue),<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8bReL6|name=Fred Pashe|quote=In 2021, I was given the opportunity & privilege to work with MPC LA on this Feature, creating some the Previs models.|site=Artstation|year=2023|month=06|day=11}}</ref> drawing from redecoes of the original ''Beast Wars'' [[Scorponok (BW)#Toys|Scorponok]] toy. While green is the designated color for "Scorponok" in the art and toys, most of the Scorponoks seen in the film itself use a red deco.
* During production, the Scorponok drones initially had a troll-like robot mode, and dozens of them would have merged into a massive Scorponok [[combiner]] that towered over the Autobots and Maximals in the final battle. Although their 3D animation models were made,<ref>[https://www.eddiedelrio.com Eddie Del Rio portfolio]</ref> this function was ultimately cut out.

:''Windblade is a [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:CyberverseWindblade.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Sailor [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]].]]
'''Windblade''' has put herself in charge of keeping her best friend [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] out of trouble, which isn't easy now that he's lost his memories on Earth. It's lucky that this [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] has the skills to back up her stubborn determination and give the [[Decepticon]] [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]] a fly for their money!

==Fiction==
===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Jessica DiGiovanni]] (English), [[Aoi Yūki]] (Japanese)|[[Alice Bauer]] (German, first voice), [[Melanie Isakowitz]] (German, second voice), [[Cristiana Rossi]] (Italian), [[Andrea Makay]] (Hungarian), [[Ludivine Deworst]] (French), [[Amalia Cantarero]] (Castilian Spanish), [[Jahel Morga]] (Latin-American Spanish), [[Carla Martelli]] (Brazilian Portuguese)}}
An immigrant to Cybertron from [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], Windblade's [[Cityspeaker]] talents gave her the ability to telepathically contact and communicate with other Transformers through her mind. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Windblade was good friends with [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] before she left Caminus, {{storylink|Maccadam's}} and upon arriving on Cybertron she initially fell in with the egotistical [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] and his [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] friends. The group attended a [[Cube (sport)|cube]] match in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], where Windblade first met [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] after the yellow 'bot disguised himself to get into the stadium. After Bumblebee ran afoul of stadium security, Windblade contacted him telepathically and helped him sneak back into the stadium. After helping Bumblebee foil Starscream's plan to ruin the game with a tampered cube, Bumblebee invited her to meet some of his friends at his favorite bar, [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]]. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} After rubbing shoulders with both [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] and [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]], Windblade met the [[Maccadam|bartender]], who baffled both her and Bumblebee with some cryptic advice. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} During these early times on Cybertron, Windblade came to see [[Mount Helix]] as one of her favorite places to be. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

Some time later, following the rise of Megatron and his [[Decepticon]]s and the start of the war, {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Windblade—now an Autobot—visited Maccadam's, where Chromia unsuccessfully tried to convince her to return to Caminus. Windblade was skeptical when Bumblebee introduced her to [[Drift (Cyberverse)|a potential Decepticon deserter]], though the conversation was cut short when Megatron broke into the bar. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

At some point after the loss of Bumblebee's voice, it became clear that Megatron sought to seize control of the [[AllSpark]]. Windblade was one of the Autobots who took part in the battle to eject the artifact from Cybertron, taking down both Starscream and [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] and opening the path for Bumblebee to activate the [[space bridge]] that would take the AllSpark offworld. {{storylink|Allspark (episode)|Allspark}} Optimus soon announced his intention to leave Cybertron and recover the artifact and, though Windblade tried to persuade Bumblebee to stay with her on Cybertron, he too joined the crew of the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]''. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}} On the day of Bumblebee's departure, the two friends visited the ruins of Maccadam's, and were surprised to find that the bar was still open. Maccadam poured them a drink and told the pair that, although they would be separated, they would always remain friends... and informed them that, one day in the future, they would need to find "the king of the dinosaurs". {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Feeling reassured about her friendship with Bumblebee, she then joined him when [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] called the yellow 'bot to the ''Ark''{{'}}s launch site. There, Windblade finally bade her friend farewell. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}} However, she remained in touch long enough to learn that [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] had been able to repair Bumblebee's damaged [[voice box]].

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|[[:File:Primebumblebeehug.jpg|She isn't the first Autobot to hug him.]]]]

In Optimus Prime's absence, Windblade and the other Autobot stragglers fought on, though it soon became clear that the heroes were outnumbered by the Decepticons. Eventually, it became clear that the ''Ark'' itself had been lost, and, when Megatron realized that the ''Ark'' had tracked the AllSpark to the distant world of [[Earth]], the Autobots soon caught word of this revelation. [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] was eventually able to repair Cybertron's space bridge, and Windblade travelled to Earth to search for the Autobot starship—a one-way trip, as the space bridge exploded behind her.

Windblade spent a long time on Earth, fruitlessly searching for the AllSpark or the ''Ark'', until she eventually chanced across [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] on Earth, rescuing him from almost falling off a cliff. {{storylink|Fractured}} Through this, [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] noticed the presence of Transformers on Earth. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} She soon learned that Bumblebee had suffered damage, and was unable to remember her or his mission on Earth. The [[Decepticon]] [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] soon showed up to rain on their parade, and bested Windblade with ease. The [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] then tried to kill Bumblebee using Windblade's sword, but failed thanks to Bumblebee momentarily paralyzing him with his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]]. Windblade then blew the Decepticon off to parts unknown with her fans. She then attempted to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories with a [[cortical psychic patch]], but this procedure failed and left the two [[Autobot]]s unconscious after subjecting them to severe pain. {{storylink|Fractured}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|300px|I will tolerate no reenactment, whether it's ironic or sincere, of the Patrick Swayze/Demi Moore pottery scene in ''Ghost''.]]
The cortical psychic patch also released a powerful energy pulse, alerting the Decepticons Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] to their location. Windblade, after coming to, immediately took to the skies to engage Nova Storm in a dogfight. She then instructed the [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]]-deprived Bumblebee to retreat to a nearby mineshaft, after which she used her detachable turbines to bury both Decepticons under a large pile of rubble. She then set off to found the Decepticons' ship, which she thought could be used as additional computing power for the cortical patch procedure, but discovered that Bumblebee had rushed in without listening to her carefully detailed plan about how to infiltrate the ship. Entering the bridge, she set up the cortical patch again to enter Bumblebee's memories, using her [[Cityspeaker]] skills to guide him through the process. While Windblade hoped to recover the current location of the ''Ark'', Bumblebee only managed to recover a small fragmented memory detailing the ship's launch... and memories of Windblade herself, finally recognizing her as his old friend. The happy moment was unexpectedly cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing... only for Bumblebee to immediately seize the communicator and blow their cover, to Windblade's chagrin. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

Windblade and Bumblebee hijacked the [[Decepticon scout ship]] to get away, setting a course through a nearby mountain range. Bumblebee's piloting skills were so bad that the scout ship nearly crashed into two mountains and caused the [[decapitation]] of a tree so Windblade told Bumblebee to land near some radio towers, even though there was only one visible. She also told Bumblebee that she would do all of the flying which made the little scout a bit sad. Later, she once again set up the cortical patch. She told Bumblebee to access the memory of the Allspark to help him remember what it was. Windblade confirmed Bumblebee's assessment that the Allspark contained infinite life before directing him to a memory which showed how they lost the Allspark. After the memory ended, Windblade reminded Bumblebee that the "awesome guy" was Optimus Prime. Windblade commented on how Bumblebee's memory was repairing itself. {{storylink|Allspark (episode)|Allspark}}

After the memory had ended, Windblade and Bumblebee had a chat about the other [[Autobot]]s. Windblade told Bumblebee that they might not have woken up and were still on the Ark. {{storylink|The Journey}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e5-Whiteout-Windblade-knocked-down-by-seekers.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"We want your lunch money!"]]

After going through Bumblebee's memory, Windblade noticed the mountains in the background. Tracking the mountains to the [[Himalayas]], Windblade found Bumblebee's abandoned [[stasis pod]] and blaster before she was ambushed by Thundercracker, Nova Storm and Slipstream. Though briefly interrogated, she managed to escape and return to Bumblebee, giving him back his blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

When Bumblebee began to remember the peaceful revolutionary Megatron was, Windblade began directing him to the hints that Megatron had never been altruistic before the scout found the memory of Megatron destroying his [[voice box]]. Though shaken, Bumblebee found his optimism soon enough, happy that he could talk in his mind. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Windblade was trying to datamine the Decepticon shuttle, Bumblebee found a Cube, and Windblade helped him regain his memories of the sport. Though he was eager for a round, both had forgotten the rules. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}}

After failing to track a Decepticon signal, Windblade returned to the shuttle to find Acid Storm and Thrust attempting to board. As she forced them off the ship, she found Bumblebee was using the patch. Leading the Seekers on a merry chase, aided by some remotely controlled weapon systems, Windblade shook off her pursuers, returning to find Bumblebee had woken up. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} After failing to help Bumblebee rediscover some of his wartime prowess the physical way, Windblade decided to help him by jogging his memory. After looking through two memories, the two friends returned to their sparring. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

After a space battle, Windblade was surprised when Bumblebee mentioned visiting Maccadam's. After landing in [[Bumblebee Cave|a cave that looked like Bumblebee]], Windblade plugged into her friend's mind, discovering that his memories were beginning to self-repair. Reviewing Bumblebee's memories of Maccadam, the two realized that the barkeep was giving them helpful prophecies, setting them on the path to find the "king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]". {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

[[File:Cyberverse - Sabotage - It's all Shockwave's fault.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Just pretend my hand's a chestburster, I'll use some CGI during post-production
to make my hand look like a chestburster."]]

As the two tried to figure out what a dinosaur was, Windblade was remotely ejected from the patch by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who had likewise taken remote control of the ship and guided it towards Slipstream's forces. After outsmarting the Seekers, Windblade told the now awake Bumblebee to press the red button, activating its self-destruct. Though now trapped on Earth with no way to repair Bumblebee's memories, the Autobots counted themselves lucky to be alive. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the duo struggled to blend in to Earth, Windblade suggested splitting up to find the ''Ark'' before Bumblebee detected an Autobot distress beacon. Following it, the two found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], a backup system for the ''Ark''{{'}}s computer. Unfortunately this turned out to be a trap by the Seekers only for their torture of Bumblebee to trigger the drone's security protocols. As the two Autobots fled through the labyrinthine structure, Windblade noted that Teletraan-X was their first priority before they were separated in the winding corridors. After briefly being separated, Teletraan-X revealed that he had a map. As the Autobots headed for the exit, the Seekers caught up with them, Windblade choosing to stay behind and hold them off so Bumblebee could escape. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} Four and half hours and some self-reflection later, Bumblebee turned back and charged to save Windblade. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

[[File:Cyberverse Windblade Siloed glowing.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"Hey Acid Storm, wasn't that stuff around her eyes red before?"]]

Captured, Windblade was subjected to a cortical psychic patch though its slow speed angered Slipstream. To speed up the process, Acid Storm and Thundercracker jacked up the power, causing a burst of energy that knocked every Seeker unconscious. Freeing herself, Windblade resumed data mining and found an Autobot signal. When the Seekers began to reboot, Windblade fought her way out of the complex only to be grabbed by Slipstream as she climbed the ladder to freedom. Before she could be captured again, Bumblebee showed up at just the right time to lend a hand. After a quick reunion, the two set off for the Autobot signal. {{storylink|Siloed}}

After Teletraan-X had been reprogrammed to accept instructions from Windblade (though he still called her "not crew"), the three found the immobile Autobot buried outside a human city. As the Autobot was excavated and identified as [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]], Windblade recognized that he was Maccadam's prophesied "king of the dinosaurs". Out of energon, the Autobots redirected the humans' power grid to revive Grimlock. Operating on instinct and vague memories, Grimlock set off for the base he'd built for himself. When he entered it, his logs triggered Grimlock's higher functions, allowing him to revert to robot mode and greet his old friends. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Thanks to Grimlock's base, the Autobots detected the arrival of a new Decepticon ship armed with a [[magnetic disruptor]]. Needing only to disable one-half of the ship, the Autobots travelled to the [[Arctic|North Pole]]. As Windblade drew the attention of the Seekers, Grimlock and Bumblebee managed to destroy the ship, saving Earth. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

[[File:AwakenSleepingGiants-TheArk.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Nothing could ruin this moment, except maybe a group of decepticons.]]

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were ambushed by the Seekers, Windblade managing to down Slipstream. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. Fighting with the Seekers again, Windblade quickly found herself outnumbered only for the tide to turn when Shockwave reactivated the volcano and Teletraan-X managed to upload himself into the ''Ark''. Covered by the turrets, Windblade retreated inside the ship just before Teletraan raised its shields, protecting it from the volcano. Teletraan then reactivated the slumbering Autobots just before the Decepticon fleet arrived. {{storylink|Eruption}}

Over the next decades, the Autobots and Decepticons continued their war across Earth. Initially they fought in secret, though Windblade was captured on video, transforming into her jet mode on a public road in attempt to hide. When the war later become known to humanity, Windblade fought Megatron at a power plant, a battle that captured a blooper of the [[Decepticon leader]] tripping over power lines. During or after [[2007]], the Decepticons had erected a [[Planet Smasher]] on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Windblade saving Bumblebee during a moment of distraction. When the Decepticons retreated behind a [[force field]], the Autobots had to wait for [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] to disable it. After destroying the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed the Decepticons into the moon. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} After fighting their way to the Decepticon control room, it blew up in their face. Discovering that the Decepticons were using [[planetary engine]]s to slam the moon into the Earth, the Autobots managed to reverse the engines and then made a broadcast to Earth. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

[[File:TheVisitor-Grimlock.jpg|thumb|left|300px|A typical day on the Ark.]]

When Grimlock drank some of Wheeljack's [[Hyper Fuel]], the overcharged Dinobot ran through the ''Ark''. After a failed attempt to ground him with the [[Mega Magnetizer]], Optimus warned all Autobots to keep their distance. Ignoring this, Windblade tried to use her fans to stop Grimlock only to wind up stuck to him and [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]]. Nonetheless, she was able to direct him to go outside to not wreck everything. At the exit, Bumblebee fired an untested weapon at them creating a [[black hole]]. While Hot Rod was pulled free, Windblade was left stuck to the Dinobot as Optimus contained both him and the black hole with shots from the the [[force shield blaster]]. Trapped within the forcefield for a day, Windblade was forced to wait until Grimlock finally burnt through his energy. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

When the Autobots later learnt that the AllSpark had created a series of [[GroundBridge]] portals across Earth, Windblade was part of the mapping effort, allowing them to find the [[AllSpark]]. The portal to it however accepted only Optimus, leaving the Autobots to do nothing but wait. Optimus eventually returned with the AllSpark's guardian, [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]], saying that the AllSpark had been taken by Starscream. {{storylink|Trials}}

After everyone got to know Cheetor, they launched an attack on the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]''. As the two sides fought in the warship's main hangar bay, Cheetor revealed that the AllSpark was not present, forcing Megatron to admit that Starscream had gone rogue. To retrieve the artifact, the two sides agreed to parlay. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

Part of Optimus' entourage in the subsequent negotiations, Windblade grew frustrated at [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] playing increasingly loud music. Before a fight could break out, Megatron ordered everyone out. Hovering by the meeting hall even until night, Windblade was approached by the wounded Slipstream. Managing to convince her foe to listen to him, Slipstream revealed that the Starscream was in the old missile silo. Taking this seriously, Windblade began leading Slipstream to Optimus and Megatron only for [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]] to impale the Seeker from behind. Windblade's attack on Bludgeon caused a fight to break out, ending the negotiations. After the Decepticons left, Cheetor informed Windblade that Slipstream had returned to the AllSpark. {{storylink|Parley}}

[[File:Cyberverse Starsceams Children Windblade swarmed by scraplets.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"I'll admit, not my best plan."]]

Acting on Slipstream's information, the Autobots investigated the missile silo only for Cheetor to declare that the AllSpark was not present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', they received a garbled distress call from the ''Nemesis''. Though Windblade would have preferred a Decepticon civil war, Optimus led them to the Decepticon ship, finding it filled with frozen Decepticons who were near-totally drained of energon. Following Cheetor's sense for the AllSpark, the group was ambushed by [[scraplet]]s. Forced to split up, Windblade and Optimus wound up on the ship's bridge where Starscream was waiting for them. When the ex-Decepticon tried to turn his swarm on Optimus, Windblade rushed to her leader's defence but wound up paralyzed. She, and everyone else, was later restored to full functionality when Cheetor made brief physical contact with the AllSpark, causing it to send out a regenerative wave. As a show of gratitude, Megatron allowed the Autobots to go in peace. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

Windblade later went on a scouting mission. Briefly returning to the ''Ark'', she reported that there was no sign of Starscream, the Seekers, or the AllSpark. She then went right back to searching. {{storylink|Spotted}}

Seeking to avenge Slipstream, Windblade ambushed Bludgeon outside the ''Nemesis''. After the Decepticon warrior had killed a gaggle of scraplets as training, she revealed herself and attacked him. Infuriated by his perpetual silence, Windblade quickly found herself outmatched only for Wheeljack to save her before Bludgeon could deliver the killing blow. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

The ''Ark'' was then attacked by the thought-dead [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]] who demanded that the Autobots bring him [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]]. When the Autobots told him that they didn't know where Jetfire was, the shark flew off. Jetfire then showed up, regaling his comrades with tales of his glory and asking for their aid in taking down Sky-Byte. When the Autobots were more concerned with the AllSpark, Jetfire blasted off. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

After Jetfire came around, he led the Autobots to the AllSpark, Windblade being part of the team. They were quickly met by the Decepticons, led there by Sky-Byte before an AllSpark-powered Starscream showed up. Using his new powers, Starscream began extracting everyone's [[spark]]s only for Optimus to blast the AllSpark out of Starscream using the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. With the energy release forcing Optimus into stasis, Windblade took command, ordering Grimlock and Cheetor to guard Optimus while leading Cheetor to get the AllSpark. Windblade nearly claimed it herself before she was met by [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. After Cheetor retrieved the AllSpark, Windblade ordered a retreat, Bumblebee dragging the prone form of Starscream after him, noting he should stand trial. With a smile, Windblade agreed and declared it was time for the Autobots to return home. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

With Optimus still in stasis, Hot Rod took command of the Autobots. Needing to divert the Decepticons from the space bridge, Hot Rod had Windblade and four others remotely pilot shuttles, transmitting on an open frequency that one of the shuttles carried the AllSpark. The last one to fall, Windblade managed to shoot down two Decepticon ships before hers was destroyed. With the ''Nemesis'' drawn away, Hot Rod ordered the ''Ark'' to the space bridge. Unfortunately, Sky-Byte saw through the ruse, buying enough time for the ''Nemesis'' to catch up. When the Decepticon flagship began a bombardment, Cheetor healed the ''Ark'' with the AllSpark. Though the ship made a desperate run for the space bridge, Shockwave managed to detonate it. Stepping onto the bridge, Optimus ordered the ''Ark'' to take the long route to Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed home, the Autobots held a victory party, Windblade accepting one of Wheeljack's AllSpark-connected badges for a steady flow of energon. When Starscream acquired one of the badges, he tampered with it, driving the Autobots into a maddened fury. Optimus and Cheetor managed to disable the badges with Optimus indulging in a dance to get the party going again. {{storylink|Party Down}}

[[File:Cyberverse-GhostTown-AllSparkPower.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"Hey guys! Glad you came, I want to introduce my new friend!"]]

When the ''Ark'' passed near the wreckage of the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], Windblade was on the bridge for the bad weather report. {{storylink|Wiped Out}} Not long afterwards, the ''Ark'' passed by [[Croaton's planet|a planet]] that had once hosted a [[Cybertronian colonies|colony]] settled by the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]]. Damaged but alive, the Titan sensed the AllSpark and possessed Windblade to have her bring it to him. Singularly-focused on the task, she flew down to the planet, attacking the Autobots who followed her through Croaton. Reaching the spark chamber, Windblade unleashed the AllSpark's energy, restoring Croaton to full functionality. Released from his control, Windblade nonetheless offered herself as a median between the Titan and the Autobots who told them his story. After the Titan returned their shuttle to the Autobots, both parties left the planet. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty intensely boring cycles, the ''Ark'' was struck by an EMP, freezing all passengers in a standby mode. When Teletraan-X managed to restore power to the vessel and its inhabitants, everyone continued on, none the wiser. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

After the ''Ark'' received a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]], Optimus decided to take the crew through an ancient space bridge. Rather than Cybertron, Wheeljack's partial repair took the ''Ark'' to [[unspace]], the void between realities. Upon arriving, the Autobots found a duplicate ''Ark'' that disintegrated due to the effects of the realm. It was then that a second duplicate arrived, identical to theirs, save that [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] had sent out the distress call. When a third ''Ark'' showed up, the three ships tried to punch their way out with the AllSparks only for unspace to claim one of the vessels. When more ''Ark''{{'}}s began arriving, the combined power of nine AllSparks allowed them all to escape and return to their realities. When the ''Ark'' emerged in Cybertronian orbit, the crew gave a hearty cheer. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

As the ''Ark'' made its final approach, Optimus sent Jetfire and Windblade to scout Cybertron for Decepticon activity. When the two fliers reported none, Optimus tried to raise Chromia to no avail. Convinced that they were flying into a trap, Optimus ordered the ship evacuated and sent it in under autopilot. After the ''Ark'' had been destroyed by a [[laser snare]], the Autobot army massed outside the [[Threshold of the Well]] to meet the Decepticons. In the ensuing battle, Windblade fought against the Seekers with Jetfire. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

With a group of scraplets barring the path to the Well, Optimus told Windblade to find another way in. Windblade ordered Teletraan-X to scan for an alternative route. Instead the drone found two Autobot signals below ground. Using her cityspeaker abilities, Windblade made contact with Chromia who informed Windblade of a backdoor to the Well, information that Windblade passed on to Hot Rod, whose group was guarding the AllSpark. When Teletraan informed her of Vector Sigma's location, Windblade called Wheeljack to meet her there so they could destroy it and prevent Megatron from creating the [[Decepticon supersoldier]]s. When Windblade reached the supercomputer's chamber, Bludgeon revealed himself as its guardian. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

[[File:Cyberverse Battle For Cybertron Part 4 Windblade kicks Bludgeon.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Yes, he [[Unspace|died]] from this.]]

With Windblade keeping Bludgeon occupied, Wheeljack was able to spray Vector Sigma with unspace goo, Windblade kicking Bludgeon towards the computer. As the goo took effect, both Vector Sigma and Bludgeon were banished to unspace. After briefly eulogizing Slipstream, Windblade reported Vector Sigma's destruction to Optimus. Soon afterwards, the AllSpark was restored to Cybertron's core, Optimus declaring the war over. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace that followed proved short-lived. Off in space, Starscream sold out Cybertron to the [[Quintesson]]s who invaded the planet. To fuel Starscream's metamorphosis into a new [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} the Cybertronians were placed in a virtual reality where they watched a parade in an endless state of bliss. In this state everyone's [[spark]]s were slowly drained. Within the Loop, Windblade talked to Chromia and tried to drag Bumblebee into their discussion. {{storylink|The Loop}}

The small group of Cybertronians who had avoided or been from the Loop rallied into a resistance under Hot Rod. When they discovered that their hideout of Maccadam's was in fact the city mode of the dormant Titan [[Iaconus]], they sought to awaken the warrior. Needing a cityspeaker, the group focused their efforts on freeing Windblade. Though Perceptor managed to temporarily show Windblade the real world, the arrival of the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutor]]s forced the resistance to abandon Windblade. When her consciousness returned to the Loop, Windblade forget everything outside of it. {{storylink|The Trial}}

During the prior effort, the resistance had managed to free [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]], his and [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbreak)]]'s skills allowing them to acquire the source code for the Loop. Armed with this, Perceptor spliced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the shock causing everyone to [[Transformation|transform]], freeing everyone from the Loop, the Cybertronians retreating to Iaconus. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

[[File:Cyberverse The Alliance Maccadam saves Windblade.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Maccadam will allow no heroic sacrifices today.]]

To foster teamwork, Hot Rod and Soundwave sent mixed Autobot and Decepticon groups into training sessions. When Windblade tried to join, the two instead told her to try and awaken Iaconus. Though she made initial strides, she was quickly forced to pull out. Maccadam then approached her and informed him that he had placed an additional layer of security around Iaconus, one that risked destroying her. Though Windblade insisted she try again, Hot Rod overruled her. Instead, the Cybertronians opted to detonate warhead at point-blank range, Windblade being part of the air force. When the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticons]] blocked the Cybertronians, she tried to attack Lord [[Gnaw (Cyberverse)|Gnaw]] but he threw her into a building. When the Sharkticons blew up the bomb, Windblade flew back to Iaconus. Pushing through the pain, she managed to enact his transformation, managing to raise his arm, causing quakes that scared off the Sharkticons, before Maccadam tackled Windblade out of the cityspeaker link, saying he'd lost too many cityspeakers that way. {{storylink|The Alliance}}

Hatching a new plan, the Cybertronians disabled Iaconus' cloak, drawing the majority of the Quintesson forces to them, allowing Optimus and Megatron to infiltrate the undefended flagship. The plan succeeded, destroying both the Judge and the Quintesson flagship only for the new Judge to emerge from the wreckage: [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Starscream quickly managed to defeat and lock up the shocked Cybertronians. A brief distraction by Soundwave allowed Windblade to escape. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} Making her way to Maccadam's, she found it infested with Sharkticons. Despite the strict rule against fighting, Maccadam allowed Windblade an exception. Together, the two fought their way to the cityspeaker chamber. When they arrived, Maccadam warned Windblade of the full extent of the trap, telling her that she'd know what to do when confronted with it. Managing to connect to Iaconus again, Windblade accidentally set off the trap, disabling it with a psychic construct of Stormfall. Fully connected to Iaconus, Windblade managed to rouse the War Titan's consciousness and ordered him to transform to robot mode. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}}

After getting an exterior visual, Windblade redirected Iaconus' focus from from random destruction to Starscream. As the War Titan charged for the Judge, the Quintessons summoned the brainwashed Croaton. Noticing that Croaton was slaved to Starscream's commands, Windblade commanded Iaconus to scare the traitor away. With the Seeker gone, Iaconus proved the better fighter. Before the War Titan could free his fellow, Starscream returned and used unspace goo to destroy Iaconus' head, killing him. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}}

[[File:Cyberverse The End Of The Universe Part 4 Windblade frees Croaton.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Remember to hit the glowing weak spots.]]

The abrupt loss of Iaconus' mind left Windblade unconscious until Laserbeak woke her up. Informed by Optimus that the fight was not over, Windblade flew out, seeing Croaton on a rampage. Though Windblade tried to telepathically connect to him, she failed until Laserbreak pointed out a way into Croaton. Making her way to his cityspeaker chamber, Windblade connected to Croaton. Within his mindscape, Croaton explained that the Quintesson technology controlled all of his functions. In order to free him, Windblade used Stormfall and split into five copies of herself so she could destroy all the Quintesson technology at once. Though she succeeded, the overexertion shattered her mind, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}} into five parts, each winding up far and wide across Cybertron. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} Free, Croaton tried to rouse Windblade but getting no answer, he withdrew from the battle for a place to rest. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

[[File:Cyberverse EnemyLine.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Not the [[Rubicon|first time]] she's ended up in a coma after saving Cybertron.]]

In the aftermath of the battle against the Quintessons, the Autobots and Decepticons each claimed a hemisphere of Cybertron. Croaton had settled down - with the unconscious Windblade still with him - in what would become Decepticon territory. [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] found Windblade and, in secret, did what she could to help her. Searching for Windblade, Bumblebee snuck into Decepticon territory, being allowed to take his friend with Shadow Striker's blessing. Bumblebee dodged several Decepticons as he navigated Windblade through Croaton's city mode before he had [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] airlift her out. Before they could cross the border, Megatron arrived and cornered them. On the Autobot side, Optimus showed up, citing that Megatron holding an injured Autobot was a treaty violation. Having bigger fish to fry, Megatron allowed the Autobots to leave. Windblade was transferred to [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]]'s care who found he could do nothing for her before Chromia pipped up with a solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Chromia explained to Bumblebee that when a cityspeaker overexerted themselves, their mind could shatter and the shards, drawn to powerful artifacts, would need to be reassembled. Using a psychic tracker, Chromia tracked Windblade's first shard to [[Crystal City]]. Accompanied by Bumblebee, the two Autobots braved the city's various traps and picked up a new ally in [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]]. When they reached the city's throne room, the three found Windblade's shard was inside the [[Crystalline King]]. The entity manifested several copies of Windblade to hold off the Cybertronians only to be destroyed by Bumblebee's multiverse energy, allowing the Autobots to claim the shard. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}}

The next shard was tracked to the forbidden moon of [[Moonbase 3|Luna 3]]. On Chromia's recommendation, Bumblebee contacted alien expert [[Meteorfire (Cyberverse)|Meteorfire]] to help him get there. When the two reached the satellite, they found it playing home to an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]], which Windblade's shard had lodged into. Using his multiversal energy, Bumblebee once again shattered the container and collected Windblade's shard. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Accompanied by Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the territory of the [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]] for the third shard. Finding that [[Affluous]] had organized the Monsterbots into a caste society, enforced by a tower that prevented anyone from transforming. When Bumblebee destroyed the tower, he collected Windblade's shard from the remains. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

[[File:Cyberverse Dweller in the Depths Possessed Windblade.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Even Iaconus was friendlier than this.]]

The fourth of Windblade's shards wound up in the malicious Titan known as the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]], deep beneath the [[Argon Sea]]. Reactivated by the influx of energy, the Dweller took pity on the incomplete Windblade. Enthralling [[Hammerbyte]], the Dweller had him retrieve Windblade, intending to use the cityspeaker to spread his hypnotic control to all of Cybertron. After Chromia worked out that Bumblebee's [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] could cancel the Dweller's control, the trio managed to grab Windblade's body and escape to the surface. As this was happening, the [[Thirteen]] called Optimus into the Matrix, Alchemist Prime informing him that the last shard of Windblade had come to rest in the alternate Matrix of Leadership that Megatron now carried. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}} Optimus mobilized a strike force, leading them to Croaton's city mode to retrieve Windblade and destroy Megatron's Matrix. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Ending.jpg|thumb|left|300px|All's well that ends well, at least until new episodes need to be made.]]

Inside Megatron's Matrix, Windblade's final missing shard regained conscious and was met by the spirit of an alternate Optimus Prime who explained her circumstances to her before giving her the order to destroy the Matrix. Though initially shocked, the alternate Optimus soon convinced her and Windblade destroyed the psychic pillars of the Primes, short-circuiting the alternate Matrix as [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|the Megatron from its universe]] against Optimus, allowing Prime to triumph. With the Matrix disabled, Bumblebee collected Windblade's last shard, allowing her to be restored to full functionality. {{storylink|The Other One}}

At the signing of the [[Treaty of the Wall|peace treaty]] Windblade was part of the Autobot delegation that stood with Optimus during the signing. During the ceremony, Cybertron was temporally frozen by the [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]]. As they began to loot the planet, [[Nightbird (Cyberverse)|Nightbird]] helped herself to Windblade's [[Stormfall Sword]]. Time was eventually restarted thanks to the efforts of the [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] with the signing of the treaty officially ending the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]]. {{storylink|The Immobilizers}}

At the officiating ceremony for [[Trypticon (Cyberverse)|Trypticon Plaza]], a fatally damaged [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] crashed and warned the Cybertronians of a threat worse than the other Megatron. Part of the ruling council, Windblade took part in the initial discussion on how to respond to the imminent attack but left the chamber after the Dinobots had been cleared out. When the [[Decepticon supersoldier]]s began teleporting in and fighting each other. When the Autobots made their first attempt at containing the invaders, Windblade initially wielded a force shield blaster before dropping several [[gravity modulator]]s on the soldiers. Though initially succeeding in magnetizing them all together, the soldiers teleported out of their state and resumed fighting. After the Decepticon method, an indiscriminate carpet bombing, failed, [[Tarn (Cyberverse)|Tarn]], one of the Perfect Decepticons, duped Optimus and Soundwave to help him retrieve [[Onyx Prime]]'s [[Cortex Helm]], its power making him the undisputed master of the supersoldiers. When the invaders unified against the Autobots, Windblade called a retreat. As [[Volcanicus (Cyberverse)|Volcanicus]] fought a delaying action, Windblade and Hot Rod led the Autobots underground.

In the valley of the Monsterbots, Wheeljack equipped the Autobots with the Decepticons' teleportation technology so Hot Rod could reach the Cortex Helm. The first to teleport in, Windblade saved Optimus from execution before the Decepticons arrived. When the Decepticons refused to follow him, Tarn declared war on all of Cybertron, Windblade and Teletraan-X defeating one of the supersoldiers before she destroyed the sniper rifles of three of them before Tarn called in enough reinforcements to turn the tide. After a distraction from Hot Rod, Soundwave managed to claim the Helm for himself before unleashing a massive sonic attack that destroyed himself, the Helm and Tarn. At Maccadam's, the unified Cybertronians toasted Soundwave before Optimus announced that he would step down as leader, leaving Cybertron in his friends' capable hands, the news inspiring a group hug. {{storylink|The Perfect Decepticon}}

====Alternate universes====
In several universes, as in the main one, Windblade was part of the ''Ark'' crew when the ship was trapped in unspace. At least one Windblade and her crew were disintegrated by the effects of the realm. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron X]]'s timeline, Windblade had only met Optimus Prime once before he was killed by Megatron. When Optimus' spirit, surviving in the Matrix of Leadership, met an alternate Windblade, he briefly mentioned her counterpart to her. {{storylink|The Other One}}

*'''Windblade''' (Scout Class, 2018, 2021)
**''Action Attack'': "Turbine Thrash"
:Scout Class Windblade is a Legends-sized mold that transforms (if by transform, we mean bending her frontwards with her legs twisting 180 degrees) from a robot into a <s>Gerwalk mode</s> "transformational mode" jet. She also features a "Turbine Thrash" Action Attack gimmick, which pops out light blue effects when activated. Unfortunately, due to size limitations, Windblade does not feature any 5mm-compatible hands.

:Windblade was released twice: First in 2018 in the original ''Cyberverse'' packaging design, and then again in 2021 in the ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' [[subline imprint]] packaging refresh.
{{-}}{{anchor|Warrior}}

*'''Windblade''' (Warrior Class, 2018, 2021)
**''TakaraTomy name'': '''Wing Slicer Windblade'''
**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[July 13]] [[2019]]
**''TakaraTomy ID number'': '''TCV-03'''
**''Action Attack'': "Cyclone Strike"

:Released as part of the second wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class lineup, Windblade is a Deluxe-sized figure that converts from robot to jet and back. Her "Cyclone Strike" Action Attack gimmick is activated by sliding the nosecone assembly on her back up and down, which, if done quickly enough, causes the front half of her wings to swing upwards. This triggers a mechanism that spins the front halves of the turbines on the wings.

:Care must be taken to position her arms properly, however, or they might impede the movement of the turbines. Unlike most Warrior Class toys, and despite the depiction in her stock photo, Windblade's head cannot swivel to any great degree without trimming her collar, which allows it to pivot on a loose mushroom joint freely.

:Windblade sports 5mm compatible hands and a 3mm hole behind her waist, though as a panel from jet mode blocks it in robot mode (without rotating it), it mainly serves to mount the jet mode.

:Windblade is the first and only Warrior Class figure released for TakaraTomy's Japanese markets.

:Like the Scout Class figure, Warrior Class Windblade was also released twice: First in 2018 in the original ''Cyberverse'' packaging design, and then again in 2021 in the line's final ''Dinobots Unite'' subline imprint packaging refresh.

: Released in the eighth wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Deluxes, ''Legacy: United'' "Cyberverse Universe Windblade" is based on her appearance in the Cyberverse show, transforming into a VTOL jet. She includes a translucent version of the Stormfall Sword, as well as a detachable tessen fan that pegs in behind her head. The fans on her wings can rotate in both modes, with each side painted to allow the choice between show-accurate light grey or the toy's black. The Stormfall Sword is capable of stowing away in her vehicle mode with the blade/flame effect poking out of the back to evoke her after-burning jet thrust. Her hips also come with compatible ports that the sword can be stored on in robot mode in a holstered position.

: Undocumented by her instructions, Windblade's hands have a small square peg that allows her tessen fan to be used like an actual fan.

: Windblade has a considerable amount of back kibble in robot mode, but it's held on only by a simple friction pin and can be easily removed. Doing so reveals that her back is fully detailed and filled in underneath it, potentially indicating that the option to remove it was done intentionally.

: Windblade was revealed alongside the rest of ''United''{{'}}s first wave, and went up for pre-order shortly afterwards.

However, the design has a ''lot'' of changes to the point where it is not immediately obvious that it is based on the evergreen design more than one of the other, similar Windblade designs. Among the changes include a color-blocked paint job, larger optics, and retractable wings.

'''"On My Soul"''' is a song written, produced, and performed by [[Tobe Nwigwe]] with [[Nas]] and featuring [[Jacob Banks]] for the [[2023]] movie ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts]]''.

The track shows up during the climax, when the [[Autobot#Live-action_film_series|Autobots]] and [[Maximal#Rise of the Beasts film|Maximals]] start to gain the upper hand against [[Unicron#Rise of the Beasts film|Unicron's]] reinforcements while [[Optimus Prime (Movie)#Rise of the Beasts film|Optimus Prime]] and [[Scourge (ROTB)#Rise of the Beasts film|Scourge]] duke it out. The main difference between the single and film versions is the addition of an orchestral arrangement (with bonus reprisals of the Maximal and Unicron themes) in the latter, plus some ad-libs from Nwigwe — this version currently remains unreleased.

==Synopsis==
[[File:ROTBcap-Unicronringedplanet.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|This is one unusual planet... whatever it is.]]

Somewhere in time and space, the dark god [[Unicron]] and his minions invade a [[Jungle Planet (colony)|jungle world]] populated by [[Maximal]]s. Unicron, seeking a way to cross galaxies, sends his [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]] herald [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]] to retrieve the [[Transwarp Key]], an advanced device that can open portals in space-time. Although the Maximals attempt to fight back, their leader [[Apelinq (ROTB)|Apelinq]] entrusts [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]] and a small group of Maximals—[[Airazor (ROTB)|Airazor]], [[Cheetor (ROTB)|Cheetor]], and [[Rhinox (ROTB)|Rhinox]]—with the Transwarp Key and orders them to keep the artifact from Unicron. As Primal and his followers use the key to escape their doomed planet and flee to prehistoric [[Earth]], Scourge kills Apelinq after a brief fight and takes his [[insignia]] as a trophy.

Thousands of years later, in June [[1994]], ex-military electronics expert [[Noah Díaz]] attempts to find a job to support his sick brother [[Kris Díaz|Kris]]. However, after another failed interview, his friend [[Reek]] convinces him to steal an expensive car from a nearby hotel. However, the "car" turns out to be the Autobot [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] in disguise, who takes the terrified Noah on a joyride through the streets of [[New York City]]. At the same time, a museum on Ellis Island comes into possession of an unusual stone falcon with a Maximal insignia. After closing hours, museum intern [[Elena Wallace]] investigates the statue and accidentally breaks it open to reveal half of the Transwarp Key. The artifact releases an energy pulse that attracts the attention of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots, who have been stranded on Earth since their evacuation of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] [[Bumblebee (film)|seven years prior]]. Prime summons the nearest Autobots—[[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and Mirage, who arrives at the meeting spot with Noah in tow. Although Optimus distrusts humans, he believes that they can use the Transwarp Key to return home and liberate their homeworld; eventually, Mirage hatches a scheme to sneak into the museum and have Noah steal the key for them.

[[File:Scourge about to blast bee.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66|A treacherous, underhanded sneak attack! I like you, pussycat, yes.]]

Unbeknownst to the Autobots, the accidental activation of the Transwarp Key summons the Terrorcons to Earth. Noah meets Elena inside the museum, but cannot convince her to turn over the relic before the Terrorcons attack; despite Prime's best efforts, Scourge successfully overpowers the Autobot leader, steals the Transwarp Key, and mortally injures Bumblebee before Airazor arrives to help drive the villains away. Airazor explains that the Maximals have been on Earth for millennia, and deliberately split the Transwarp Key in half to prevent Unicron or his followers from using it. The loss of Bumblebee only further galvanizes Optimus's resolve that they must reassemble the key and return home; Noah, fearful of Unicron's arrival, tells Elena that they must destroy the key to protect their own homeworld.

[[File:ROTB-Maximalstandoff.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Moderate your conflict circuits, Maximals.]]

Elena deduces that the other half of the key is located in a hidden temple in [[Peru]], and Prime recruits the airborne Autobot [[Stratosphere]] to take them there. Near the city of [[Cusco]], the Autobot [[Wheeljack (ROTB)|Wheeljack]] guides them to the temple, located beneath a [[Convent of Santo Domingo|local monastery]]. A festival prevents the Autobots from moving through the city inconspicuously; as a result, Noah and Elena must make the journey on foot. The pair discover a hidden mechanism that leads to a hidden temple with a stone sarcophogus but find that the other half of the key is no longer inside it. The Terrorcons attack again, and although the Autobots are able to evade the villains, the conflict ends with Scourge infecting Airazor with a portion of Unicron's dark energy. On the other side of the temple, Noah and Elena encounter Optimus Primal and the other two Maximals, who, after a brief standoff that was defused by Airazor, agree to join forces with the Autobots. Optimus Primal explains that they entrusted the Transwarp Key to a tribe of humans who live near the [[energon]]-rich valley that Primal and his followers inhabit—while Optimus Prime distrusts humanity, Primal has lived among them for millennia, and has come to view them as friends and even allies.

The next morning, however, Scourge's corruption finally overtakes Airazor; in the ensuing battle, Primal is forced to crush her spark to save Elena, while Noah makes an attempt to destroy their half of the Transwarp Key until Optimus convinces him to stand down. However, Scourge and the Terrorcons take advantage of the chaos to steal the other half of the key and relocate to a nearby volcano, which they reshape into a massive portal that will summon Unicron to Earth.

Having found some common ground between their two races, Optimus Prime and Noah agree to work together; while the Autobot-Maximal alliance battle Unicron's minions, Noah and Elena attempt to sneak into the Terrorcon base and deactivate the [[Unspace|transwarp]] device with a manual shutdown code based on Elena's studies of the Maximal language. Mirage attempts to distract Scourge so that the humans can complete their mission, but the Terrorcon leader gravely injures him; with the last of his strength, Mirage reshapes his body into an [[exosuit]] for Noah. As Unicron begins pushing his way through the portal to Earth and sending down reinforcements in the form of [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Scorponok (ROTB)|Scorponok]]s, the energy pulses released by the key ignite the nearby energon deposits and restore Bumblebee to life. As Bumblebee joins the fight, Optimus Prime gains the upper hand and finally kills Scourge, but not before the Terrorcon damages the console and leaves the heroes unable to close the portal. With no other options, Prime destroys the key and triggers a devastating implosion, but Noah and Primal successfully rescue the Autobot leader from falling into the collapsing vortex.

In the aftermath, the surviving Maximals remain in Peru, while the Autobots return to America. Elena is recognized for her archeological discovery, while Noah applies for another security job—but discovers that the job opportunity is actually a front for a clandestine government organization codenamed "[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]," who promise to cover his brother's treatment going forward.

Some time later, Noah has used spare Porsche parts to cobble together a new body for Mirage, and reveals his existence to a bewildered Reek.

:—'''Scourge''' isn't too impressed with Optimus Prime.

"I'm going to take back Scourge's key, and then...''take off his head.''"
:—The origins of '''Optimus Prime's''' "GIVE ME YOUR FACE" phase.

"He is not ''the'' Optimus Prime I imagined." 
"Well, he has lost so much." 
"Many more will perish if the key falls into the wrong hands." 
"If you had another chance to save our home, would you act any differently?"
:—'''Optimus Primal''' and '''Airazor'''

"I am sorry, Noah." 
"You were looking out for your own. I can't even be angry at you for that." 
"On my homeworld, we believe that the battle with darkness will continue [['Til all are one|'til all are one]]. I lost sight of that. You fought for yours as I fought for mine, when we should've been fighting the darkness together." 
"Well, I ain't done fighting yet."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Noah''' have a moment as Unicron approaches.

"''I have come here to kick ass!''"
:—'''Bumblebee''' announces his return with a clear message.

"Time to show you the real power of a Prime!"
:—'''Optimus Prime''' lays the smackdown on Scourge. An ass kicker cometh.

"Don't, Prime. I can give you everything you want." 
"Then DIE!"
:—'''Unicron's''' temptation falls flat in '''Optimus Prime's''' face.

"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. We have lost the Transwarp Key, and with it, our ability to go home. But we have gained an ally in our battle against the forces of evil. Forces too powerful for any of us to defeat on our own, but together, we might just have a chance."
:—'''Optimus Prime's''' closing narration. We missed them.

"I am Noah Díaz. What is there to know about me? I was raised out in Brooklyn. I got a little bro who calls me Sonic, and if I gotta help save the universe in order to help save the people I love, well then that's what I'm gonna do."
:—'''Noah''' does his own closing narration.

==Continuity notes==
''Rise of the Beasts'' is a direct sequel to 2018's ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film, taking place seven years after its events, in 1994. The plot of the film has little impact on this one, beyond it being established that the Autobots have been stranded on Earth since arriving at its end. While waiting for Noah to infiltrate the museum, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee have a conversation that alludes to Bee's time with [[Charlie Watson]].

More notably, ''Rise of the Beasts'' serves to continue the heated debate among fans over whether or not the ''Transformers'' live-action film series has been rebooted, after reshoots to ''Bumblebee'' that served to distance it from the earlier films directed by [[Michael Bay]] introduced some significant discontinuities with Bay's films (2017's ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'' in particular). Though fans were quick to jump on the idea that this meant the film was a total, hard reboot of the movie universe, Paramount has not committed to that idea; ''Rise of the Beasts'' was not promoted as a reboot any more than ''Bumblebee'' was, and many reviews of and articles about the film have casually referred to it as a prequel. Some web outlets would even run articles commenting on Paramount's hazy stance on the movie's (and ''Bumblebee'''s) place in continuity.<ref>[https://www.cbr.com/transformers-7-bumblebee-reboot-mistake "Rise of the Beasts Is Repeating Bumblebee's Worst Mistake" on CBR.com]</ref><ref>[https://movieweb.com/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-is-a-reboot/ "Why Does Paramount Keep Pretending Rise of the Beasts Is Not a Reboot?" on MovieWeb.com]</ref>

In-keeping with this, in the run-up to the film's release, like [[Travis Knight]] before him, director Steven Caple Jr. was reluctant to declare the film a full and total continuity reboot; notably, in one particular interview, he called the film "a reboot for sure," only to walk the statement back ten seconds later, instead saying that one "could call it a reboot" in terms of starting point, reframing it instead as a "refresher" and a "new direction," that nonetheless preserved many elements of the earlier films.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's a reboot for sure. The Bayverse... you can still watch the Bayverse and be on your own verse, so to speak. With us, we're definitely like, we want this to work, you know? We want people to... it's a refresher, so we can call reboot in terms of like, where we were starting. But yeah so definitely a new direction for sure. There's some things you could probably connect to it, clearly Bee is like a huge connection to all the movies, you know what I mean? In terms of his car, his design, a Camaro, and things like that, but... it's a very small one, in terms of the big ideas that we have. And so you guys will see definitely where we're going at the end of this film, which is crazy.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MfMFxvT_-Q&t=2452s|name=Steven Caple Jr.|site=The Alfonso Nation|title="BAYVERSE vs REBOOT" & Wheeljacks Design | ROTB DIRECTOR STEVEN CAPLE JR Interview!|year=2023|month=05|day=27}}</ref> Longtime producer [[Lorenzo di Bonaventura]] has taken a more explicit stance, repeatedly denying that the film is a reboot and stating that it is a prequel that shows how Optimus Prime grows to become the character seen in the Bay films.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=Hey you know if you look at it from a timeline point of view, it follows ''Bumblebee''... but it is a prequel, in that it's before all the previous movies. So it sort of exists in its own way. What I don't think it is, is a reboot, because it's still our characters. One of the things that Steven brought to the table right from the beginning, which was so great, was the idea that when we meet Optimus Prime, he's different than what we think of him, and we're watching him grow up—if you would—as a leader. And for me that was one of the most exciting parts of the movie, and what was interesting was watching it with audiences, and at first they were uncomfortable a little bit, like, "wait, that's not exactly the Optimus... he should like humans!" You know? So I think it gives the movie a really interesting point of view, and that therefore it stands alone in that way.|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h11sKGYcq9k&t=871s|name=Lorenzo di Bonaventura|site=a panel at the premiere of ''Rise of the Beasts''|year=2023|month=05|day=26}}</ref><ref>{{citesocial|quote=But what's interesting is, and you will appreciate this as a fan, at the end of ''Bumblebee'', Optimus comes to Earth. What he's experienced is failure, probably for the first time in his life, right? He's had to retreat, he's leaving the planet Cybertron. What's happened to him from that experience? When we meet him in 2007, he's a particular person, if you would. In 1994, he's not the same person. He still has growth to do between ‘94 and 2007. So the character arc for Optimus in this, and the fun for the audience is, when you first meet Optimus – and we've had this experience because we've watched it with audiences and we've heard them talk about it – they're like, “It's definitely Optimus, but there's something a little different…” At first, they're like, “Wait, what, who… what Optimus is this?” And by the end of the movie, Optimus has become the guy that you've recognized from the Bay movies. Emotional.|link=https://collider.com/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-michael-bay-movies-producer-comments/|name=Lorenzo di Bonaventura|site=Collider|title='Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' Producer on How It Differs From Michael Bay's Movies|year=2023|month=05|day=24}}</ref> At the same time, di Bonaventura has also conceded that they were "kicking the can down the road" when it came to continuity concerns, preferring to worry about it in the future, and that the films "maybe have" contradicted Bay's movies despite efforts not to.<ref>[https://www.fandom.com/articles/transformers-rise-beast-wars-optimus-prime Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Shows a Different Side of Optimus Prime" on Fandom.com]</ref> These particular claims line up with statements made by Caple after the film's release, in which he stated he is "not worried" about continuity, and is just focused on making the best choices for each individual movie's story. He cites 2007's ''Transformers'' and ''Dark of the Moon'' as "his classics," and says he would "love to stay within that line," but does not feel compelled to adhere much to ''Age of Extinction'' and ''The Last Knight,'' since he views their stories as the result of creators "freestyling," and doubts that "anyone knew exactly where they were going with [them]."<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/rise-of-the-beasts-director-confirms-that-continuity-is-not-a-concern-within-the-transformers-film-franchise/47813/ Extract from an interview with Caple Jr. on the ''Empire Spoiler Specials'' podcast, via Seibertron.com]</ref> And that's... probably about as good an answer as we're going to get right now.

Whichever approach you subscribe to, it's pretty clear the decision to set the film in 1994 was one primarily made to avoid having to directly deal with the timeframe of the Bay movies in any capacity, and tell a new story free of their immediate baggage — the "can-kicking" Lorenzo spoke of. For what it's worth, the film takes some steps to preserve the broad continuity of at least the first Bay film; the Transwarp Key's energy is explicitly stated to operate on a frequency that humans cannot perceive, meaning that they literally cannot ''see'' the huge sky-beam, while massive storm clouds appear to hide the appearance of Unicron from public view. As such, the film ends with the general population of Earth (beyond secret forces within the US government) still entirely unaware of the Transformers' existence, as was the case when the 2007 film began. As the time-gap between these "prequels" and the first movie narrows, though, it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine them fitting together without a lot of hand-waving away of specific details, unless future movies actually start making active attempts to address this.

In terms of active contradictions to established continuity, ''Rise of the Beasts'' appears to take the same approach as ''Bumblebee'' and ignores the events of ''The Last Knight'' by depicting Unicron as a separate planet, rather than the Earth itself, as he appeared in that film. However, it's probably important to note that the film lightly implies that the Maximals are time-travellers from the future (see "Transformers references" for more details), which would mean that the Unicron who appears in this film is also from the future. Thus it ''could'' be argued that his appearance here doesn't technically contradict ''The Last Knight''—but of course, that would mean he was trying to eat his own past self.

==Transformers references==
*The Maximals are broadly depicted the same as they were in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon: as a "highly-advanced race" of beast-mode Transformers who use transwarp technology to travel to other planets and interact with their native species, whose travels bring them to ancient Earth. Steven Caple Jr. has noted that earlier drafts of the screenplay explicitly depicted the Maximals as time-travellers from the future, as they were in the cartoon, and while the concept is so toned down for the finished movie that it probably won't even occur to general audiences, several references to the idea are still made on-screen. Transwarp technology is stated to open portals in time as well as space; Airazor states that the Maximals are "from both [the Autobots'] past and future"; and Optimus Primal says that he is named after the "legendary" Optimus Prime, which all combine to suggest that the Maximals originate from the future.
*The idea of the Maximals hailing from a [[Jungle Planet (colony)|jungle planet]] originates in [[IDW Publishing]]'s comic books, which depicted many ''Beast Wars'' characters as the residents of the planet Eukaris. The planet is implied to be one of many colonised by Transformers in ages past using space bridges generated by the Transwarp Key, before the planets became separated and the key "lost." This concept of a great era of Cybertronian expansion that led to the foundation of lost colonies on other planets where Cybertronian life evolved in new and different directions dates back to 2005's [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|''Cybertron'' cartoon]], and became a recurring element in ''Transformers'' series in the 2010s and beyond after it was incorporated into the lore of the [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]].
*Unicron's armies being named the "Terrorcons" hearkens back to both 2004's ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' and 2010's ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'', which both featured the power of Unicron being used to create armies of warriors known as Terrorcons. In particular, the corrupted Airazor's rusted appearance resembles the ''Prime'' Terrorcons, which were also rusted, dilapidated, shambling bots controlled by the will of another.
*Though not identified by name onscreen, Unicron's army includes multiple duplicates of a robotic scorpion identified by the movie's toyline as "Predacon Scorponok." The idea of "Scorponok" being a mass-produced "species" of robots has recently been seen in the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron'' cartoon]], where both [[Scorponok (G1)|Generation 1 Scorponok]] ''and'' [[Scorponok (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Scorponok]] were treated this way.
*The Maximals vow to keep the Transwarp Key hidden and safeguard life "no matter the cost," evoking Optimus Prime's iconic line from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'': "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost."
*Optimus Prime's design features alterations from his earlier ''Bumblebee'' appearance that are influenced by his appearance in the first three Bay films; he has silver hands, feet, sun visors, angled chest windows, retractable orange [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon swords]], a handheld orange [[Energon-axe]] (which transforms out of his arm, coincidentally similar to the [[Optimus Prime (ES)|''Earthspark'' version]]), and a mask-less face sporting similar details. Arcee also transforms into a {{w|Ducati}} motorcycle, like her ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' character.
*Speaking of Arcee, the design of her arms and deployable cannons seem to be directly inspired by her [[Arcee (WFC)|Prime counterpart]].
*Scourge combines aspects of his [[Scourge (G1)|Generation 1]], [[Scourge (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'']] and [[Scourge (Cybertron)|''Cybertron'']] namesakes; he's a herald of Unicron and has an army of [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]] like G1 Scourge, transforms into a black Optimus Prime-like truck like ''RID'' Scourge and hails from a colony world like ''Cybertron'' Scourge. The various insignias he wears as trophies include the symbols of the [[Decepticon]]s, [[Autobot]]s, [[Maximal]]s, [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]]s, [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] and [[Wreckers]]. His designer Eddie Del Rio also admitted on his Instagram to pulling inspiration from ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] for his robot mode (and stealing insignias like trophies is well in character for the old bounty hunter as well).
*More obscure characters appear such as Apelinq, who originates from a [[Apelinq (BM)#Toys|BotCon 2000 toy]] and tie-in [[3H Productions]] comics, and Stratosphere, returning from the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline and last seen in the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|console video game]], albeit with a new, original design and characterization.
*When [[Nightbird (ROTB)|Nightbird]] lands at the Museum following the carnage, she makes some [[Starscream (Movie)|very familiar warbling noises]] when she moves.
*The two music tracks used in Unicron's scenes feature segments taken from [[Vince DiCola]]'s "Unicron's Theme" in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
*Scourge stands and talks to Unicron's face from inside his body, similar to a scene with their characters from the Generation 1 episode, "[[Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine]]".
*The symbols Elena studies are Maximal [[Cybertronix]], from the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon. The access code Elena assembles doesn't translate to anything, and simply reads "XQB," but the text on the side of the Transwarp Key (written in a combination of mirrored and upside-down symbols) reads: "He Who Opens The Door."
*The authors of the paper Elena reads about Peru's unexplained glyphs are Asahi Takara and Daniel H. Tomy, a reference to [[TakaraTomy]], Hasbro's longtime business partner in Transformers toys.
*After meeting Optimus Prime for the first time, Noah incorrectly calls him "Optimal". "Optimal Optimus" is the name of the original [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#OptimalOptimus|Optimus Primal's Transmetal 2 body]].
*When proposing different alternate modes to Noah, Mirage briefly turns into a F1 car, a reference to [[Mirage (G1)|his Generation 1 counterpart]]'s alternate mode. He also turns into a Lamborghini Countach, which wasn't just a really cool car, but also famous in ''Transformers'' lore for being the alternate mode of [[Sideswipe (G1)|Generation 1 Sideswipe]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], and [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]. He then claims that he can also turn into a Ferrari, the alternate mode of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Dino]], whose name in media outside of that movie was "Mirage".
*Mirage is incredulous over the news that musician [[Mark Wahlberg]] is leaving his band, the Funky Bunch, and going into acting—a good-natured jab at the actor's [[Cade Yeager|leading role]] in the earlier ''Transformers'' movies, ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' and ''The Last Knight''.
*Scourge name-drops [[Primus]] as he taunts Optimus Prime, the first reference to the Transformers' creator god in any of the live-action movies.
*Scourge injures Prime's left flank in the museum battle, which mirrors the injuries [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] gave to the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in ''The Transformers: The Movie.'' Prime even grasps the wound in the same way his predecessor did.
*Airazor explains that Unicron imbues his heralds with a "dark energy," which increases their power, but also has a corrupting effect—almost certainly a reference to [[Dark Energon]], the life-energy of Unicron introduced in the Aligned continuity. This was confirmed on the special features for the blu-ray of the movie.
*Unicron psychically tortures Scourge from afar in the same way he did [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in ''The Transformers: The Movie''.
*When Optimus Primal talks to Optimus Prime about how the Maximals trust the humans, he says there's "[[More than Meets the Eye (disambiguation)|more to them than meets the eye]]".
*Optimus states the Cybertronian belief that "the battle with darkness" will continue: "[['Til all are one]]." This phrase, and the idea of a day prophesied in Cybertron legend when it will come to pass, originates with ''The Transformers: The Movie,'' and is here used to thematically connect with the shared struggle of the Autobots, Maximals, and humans.
*When the heroes are lining up for the final battle, brown fins briefly pop out of the sides of Wheeljack's head, evoking his [[Wheeljack (G1)|Generation 1 design]].
*As the heroes charge towards the Terrorcon army, Optimus Primal commands Rhinox and Cheetor to "Maximize!", which was the Maximal [[activation code]] from the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon.
*Optimus Primal briefly fights with his double bladed scimitar from his [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|original toy]].
*In the final battle, when Unicron sends an army of Sweeps to reinforce his minions on Earth, they make their descent in the form of yellow-and-black orbs, which appears to be a nod to Unicron's [[Mini-Con]] from ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', the yellow-and-black sphere, [[Dead End (Armada)|Dead End]].
*The armored suit Mirage forms over Noah is conceptually an homage to the Generation 1 [[exosuit]]s, while its overall design hews closer to [[Kicker Jones]]' battlesuit from ''[[Transformers: Energon (cartoon)|Energon]]''.
*In a glorious homage to [[Transformers (film)|the 2007 movie]], the musical highlight of [[Steve Jablonsky]]'s "Arrival to Earth" plays as Optimus, Noah, and Primal escape the collapsing transwarp portal's suction.
* Optimus Prime's final speech is set to a remixed version of the track "No Sacrifice, No Victory" from the 2007 movie's score, which was also reprised for the endings of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]''.
*[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and Transformers have frequently crossed over in comics and the occasional toyline over the years, though this marks the first time the two have co-existed in a feature film. Notably, the G.I. Joe insignia on Burke's business card is the version introduced in the film ''G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra''.

==Real-life references==
*A TV screen briefly shows news coverage of the {{w|Murder trial of O. J. Simpson#Bronco chase|O.J. Simpson white Ford Bronco car chase}}, which places the events of the film near [[June 17]], 1994.
*Throughout the film, Noah and Kris use the codenames "[[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic]]" and "{{w|Tails (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Tails}}" (and in one instance, Mirage is referred to as "{{w|Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles}}"), a nod to the characters from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' videogame series.
*Kris wears a shirt of the ''Mighty Morphin' [[Power Rangers]]'', another property owned by Hasbro. A poster of said series also appears on his wall.
*Kris is heard playing ''Super Mario Bros.'' on his [[Game Boy]]. However, see "Anachronisms".
*Noah gives their address as 974 Wilson Avenue in Brooklyn. While the avenue in question exists in reality, the street numbers only reach the 600s.
*Kris attempts to comfort Noah after his unsuccessful interview by relating his struggle to [[Superman|Superman's]] difficulty finding a job before being hired by the {{w|Daily Planet}}.
*When Mirage compliments Noah after the car chase, he quotes the line "I like it a lot" from ''Dumb and Dumber''. However, see "Anachronisms".
*Also in the aftermath of the chase, he refers to the 1988 movie ''{{w|Big (film)|Big}}'' during his impression of Optimus Prime.
*Noah calls Mirage {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|E.T.}} for obvious reasons. He also makes a reference to [[Indiana Jones]] when discovering the hidden temple in Peru.
*Bumblebee drops various voice lines from famous real-life films throughout the whole movie, including ''{{w|Die Hard}}'', ''[[Spaceballs]]'', ''{{w|They Live}}'', ''{{w|A Few Good Men}}'' and ''{{w|Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface}}.''
*While fleeing in the museum, Elena sings Zhané's song "{{w|Groove Thang}}" to try to calm herself down.
*As they rendezvous with the other Autobots for the trip to Peru, Mirage announces that "[[Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang]] is in the building."
*Elena sings the TLC song "{{w|Waterfalls (TLC song)|Waterfalls}}" to herself during the flight to Peru. However, see "Anachronisms".
*The {{w|Inti Raymi}} festival taking place when the Autobots arrive in Peru is a real festival that takes place on [[June 24]], further tying the film's events to that month.
*During the mountain road car chase at Peru, the shot of Scourge's insignia-covered grille reflected in Prime's rearview mirror homages a famous shot from [[Steven Spielberg]]'s 1971 film ''{{w|Duel (1971 film)|Duel}}.''
*When meeting Primal, Elena brings up the {{w|Nazca Lines}} and the archeological site at {{w|Tikal}}, asking if the Maximals were responsible for creating them. [[Order of the Witwiccans|In this case]], however, Primal takes no credit for human ingenuity.
*Mirage calls Optimus Primal "{{w|Donkey Kong (character)|Donkey Kong}}".
*At the end of the film, Elena appears on the CBS news program ''[[60 Minutes]]''; host [[Lesley Stahl]] makes a cameo appearance as herself during the segment.
*The award on the wall that serves as the hidden switch to access the G.I. Joe base reads "Real Hero Award" with the image of an American flag, referencing the subtitle of the 1980s ''G.I. Joe'' franchise: "A Real American Hero".

==Errors==
===Filming, animation, and technical errors===
*When Scourge kills Apelinq, he welds his Maximal insignia to his right shoulder, but throughout the rest of the film, Apelinq's insignia is gone. In the same scene, Scourge says "They never learn...", but his mouth is not moving.
*A recurring error sees the CGI models for Freezer and Novakane, which were supposed to have unique head injuries for each character, being switched around at random at various points in the movie. A very noticeable example of this happens when Scourge deploys a single Sweep in Peru whose model has an intact head with just a pair of scars on its forehead, but is moments later replaced by the model with a much bigger wound and a missing left antenna. Several other Sweeps of varying sizes also reuse these models during the final battle, completely taking away the intended uniqueness of each head design.
*When Reek yells down the street as Noah and Kris depart, his dialogue does not match his lips.
*When Optimus Prime is about to throw his axe at Scourge, there is some distance between the two. However, in the next shot they are within just meters of each other.
*When Scourge says "Now, to add a Prime to my collection", his claw is both folded in on his arm and deployed at the same time.
*When Mirage attempts to eavesdrop on Noah and Kris' conversation, he is barely tall enough peer into the balcony while standing on a car. However, a minute later when Kris promises him to keep Noah safe he is somehow tall enough to comfortably look into the balcony without anything to stand on.
*The doors that go onto Wheeljack's back are unmarked brown in the scene of him transforming from van mode, but feature text on them in the very next cut where he is in robot mode.
*When Wheeljack audibly gasps at Noah assuming he can speak Spanish, his mouth is not moving.
*When Mirage and Optimus Prime turn into a street in Cusco, there is another Optimus Prime truck in the background. This can only be seen if you pause at the right moment.
*As Optimus decks Scourge during the Peru chase, Scourge seems to suffer a wardrobe malfunction as a rogue wheel not located anywhere on his torso springs out of his right armpit.
*Additionally, there are times when vehicles just disappear during the Switchback chase;
**Scourge's truck conveniently takes a lot of time to round a corner Optimus has just turned, despite being only feet behind him
**Mirage is no longer visible next to Nightbird when Battletrap pulls his 180 turn stunt.
*When Wheeljack is recovering from being attacked by Rhinox, his mouth is not moving as he says "Ay-ay-ay."
*As the heroes are walking through the jungle, the scene cuts to Elena while she is saying "So, what are you?", which does not match her lips.
*As Optimus Prime looks up at Unicron arriving at the mouth of the portal, Arcee can be seen scuttling about blasting Sweeps; except her blasters produce no laser effects.
*From the time Bumblebee acquires his offroad Camaro, his wheels are inconsistent between his robot and vehicle modes, with some shots showing his normal Camaro's wheels instead of the offroad ones. It is most visible for the wheels on his shoulders.
*Scourge's mouth is not moving as he proclaims "Unicron will prevail!" before shooting the transwarp control panel.
*Elena audibly whimpering in Bumblebee as he drives through hoards of Sweeps does not match her lips.

===Continuity errors===
*The fight between Optimus and Scourge outside the museum has some very inconsistent physics:
**Scourge slams Optimus against a nearby obelisk, the impact somehow doesn't make the structure collapse although the Autobot leader is made of materials much harder than stone or bricks and having much more physical mass. Scourge then punches Prime in the face, again, against the obelisk which might suggest the structure is durable enough to hold a full blow thrown by a highly-advanced mechanical being.
**Yet Scourge breaks it with his bare hands with little effort shortly after in order to hit Optimus again.
**''Yet'' the obelisk is still heavy and hard enough to beat Prime to the ground.
**'''''Yet''''' the impact doesn't leave any visible damage to Optimus while the object itself crumbles like being made of LEGO bricks.
**[[B.O.T. (episode)|Argh.]]
*After Scourge incapacitates Bumblebee, he plucks his Autobot badge off with a normal left hand. In the following shot, however, his left hand is transformed into his giant claw and he is no longer holding the badge.
*During the chase out of Cusco, when Optimus Prime reaches the bend, the Terrorcons are very close behind him. However, when he transforms into robot mode, they are suddenly much further back.
*When Stratosphere transforms in Peru, it starts with him facing away from Optimus Prime. However, in the next shot he's now facing towards him.
*When Scourge walks away with the second half of the key, his left arm switches from the claw to the cannon between shots.

===Geographic discontinuities===
*There ''is'' a museum on Ellis Island... however, it's a [https://www.statueofliberty.org/ellis-island/national-immigration-museum/ museum that documents the turn-of-the-century immigrant experience], and not the generalized natural history museum shown in the film. Notably, the actual museum is composited out of the movie's establishing shots so that the made-up museum setpiece can replace it.
*Elena states that she has never left New York. Ellis Island, her place of work, is almost completely owned by the state of New Jersey, discounting a small portion that was the island's original size that is still a part of New York. Even discounting that, the waters surrounding the island are wholly owned by the Garden State.
*When the Autobots arrive at Cusco, they land at the citadel of [[Sacsayhuamán]], an Inca fortress on the northern outskirts of the city, and the site is deserted. Even on a normal day, it should be crawling with tourists, but the Autobots are specifically said to arrive during the [[Inti Raymi]] festival... whose central activity is a recreation of an Inca ceremony ''at'' Sacsayhuamán.
*The fight with the corrupted Airazor takes place at Machu Picchu, which nobody is witness to, as again it is completely deserted. It should be crawling with tourists, the staff that works at the site, the guests and staff of the lodge located right next to the complex, or the population of the town of Aguas Calientes at the base of the mountain.

===Anachronisms===
*Though the "you died!" music and mention of Bowser imply Kris is playing ''Super Mario Bros.'' on his Game Boy, that game wouldn't see a release on the system until 1999's ''[https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros._Deluxe Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]'' on the Game Boy Color. The only Mario platformers released for Game Boy by 1994 were the ''Super Mario Land'' games, which featured different antagonists and music.
*The F1-styled car Mirage turns into is based on a design chassis that would be introduced over the course of the second half of the 90s.
*Elena sings "Waterfalls" by TLC to calm herself down. Assuming the film takes place in June, it would still be a few months until the November 1994 release of the album ''CrazySexyCool'', which the song first appeared on.
*Similarly, Mirage quotes a line from ''Dumb and Dumber'', a film that would not release until December 1994.
*A green car that was smashed and thrown in the Museum scene was a B5.5 Volkswagen Passat which would not be released until 2001.
*The promo for ''60 Minutes'' uses the program's contemporary imaging, including the use of the current CBS News logotype above that of the show.

==Music==
During the runup to the movie's theatrical release, star [[Tobe Nwigwe]], who portrays [[Reek]] in the film, collaborated with hip-hop mainstay Nas and Nigerian R&B artist Jacob Banks on the single "[[On My Soul]]", and released on [[May 19]], 2023. A remix of the song is featured during the climactic battle, though this particular mix has (sadly) not been released officially. Paramount also released a [[Transformers Rise of the Beats|Spotify-exclusive playlist]] featuring most of the 90s rap needle drops, including [[Wu-Tang Clan]], [[The Notorious B.I.G.]], and once again Nas, to name a few.

A score album, ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (Music from the Motion Picture)]]'', was released to music streaming services on June 9, the same day as the film. An expanded vinyl edition of the score was later released on [[December 15]], featuring five bonus cues.

Just a month after its theatrical release, Paramount released ''Rise of the Beasts'' to digital storefronts on [[July 11]], with the DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray releases following a few months later on [[October 10]]. Bonus features include cast and crew featurettes and deleted/extended scenes.

==Reception==
{{quote|Thanks to some genuine human drama between the set pieces and palpable affection for the title characters, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is one of the franchise's more enjoyable outings.|Critics Consensus|[https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/transformers_rise_of_the_beasts Rotten Tomatoes]}}

Coming off the back of the generally well-received ''Bumblebee'', ''Rise of the Beasts'' received mixed reviews. While critics largely praised the old-school adventure film sequences and the performances of the human leads, most criticism was directed at the film's protracted final battle scene and its overuse of computer-generated imagery—in particular, some critics juxtaposed the film's tamer action scenes against the madcap, sometimes over-the-top practical effect-based destruction employed by [[Michael Bay]] during his time in the director's chair. As of writing, the film holds a 52% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, although the audience score sits at a much higher 91%.

In the US and Canada, ''Rise of the Beasts'' opened to a strong $60.5 million start—higher than both ''The Last Knight'' and ''Bumblebee'' <ref>[https://deadline.com/2023/06/box-office-transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-spider-man-spiderverse-1235412771/ "'Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts' Conquers 'Spider-Verse' With $60M+ Opening, But Animated Pic's Second Weekend Hold Strong -- Box Office"]</ref>—but suffered a brutal 66.1 percent drop in its second weekend, where it lost out to ''{{w|The Flash (film)|The Flash}}'', ''{{w|Elemental (2023 film)|Elemental}}'', and ''{{w|Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse|Across the Spider-Verse}}''.<ref>[https://variety.com/2023/film/news/the-flash-box-office-disappoint-pixar-elemental-flop-1235647927/ "'The Flash' Disappoints With $55 Million Debut, Pixar's 'Elemental' Flops With $29.5 Million in Battle of Box Office Lightweights"]</ref><ref>[https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/2023W24/?ref_=bo_we_nav Domestic 2023 Weekend 24]</ref> A week later, the film took in a comparatively dismal $11 million.<ref>[https://deadline.com/2023/06/box-office-the-flash-no-hard-feelings-jennifer-lawrence-1235422274/ 'Spider-Verse' Swinging Ahead Of 'Elemental' After Game Of Chicken; 'Flash' Edging Out 'No Hard Feelings' -- Saturday PM Box Office]</ref> The film's domestic theatrical run came to a close in August 2023 with approximately a $439 million worldwide gross, marking the lowest-grossing instalment in the franchise.<ref>[https://comicbook.com/movies/news/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-franchise-box-office-low/]</ref>

Despite the lower-than-expected box office performance, Hasbro seems to regard the film as an overall success and noted it as one of the top box office performers of the year in a subsequent investor presentation.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/08/03/tfw2005-coverage-of-hasbro-2023-q2-earnings-conference-call-492111 TFW2005 Coverage Of Hasbro 2023 Q2 Earnings Conference Call</ref> This optimism might come down to the fact that the summer 2023 movie slate was ''particularly'' packed; this, combined with a post-COVID shift in media demographics, means that pretty much every summer movie that wasn't ''{{w|Barbie (film)|Barbie}}'' or ''{{w|Oppenheimer (film)|Oppenheimer}}'' underperformed to some degree. Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins described the film's performance as "not great, but good" and blamed its financial woes on an increasingly fractured global box office less receptive to American movies—especially in China, the franchise's biggest overseas market, where ''Rise of the Beasts''' gross of $90 million was only half of what Paramount had projected it to earn.<ref>[https://variety.com/2023/film/features/brian-robbins-paramount-pictures-tmnt-mutant-mayhem-tom-cruise-1235679142/ After a Decade in Limbo, Brian Robbins Is Giving Paramount a Makeover With ‘Ninja Turtles,’ Tom Cruise and ‘Gladiator 2’]</ref> It should be noted that ''Rise of the Beasts'' was a huge hit in [[Peru]], where the film's third act is set; it surpassed ''{{w|Avengers: Endgame}}'' as the highest-grossing movie ever in the country,<ref>[https://larepublica.pe/cine-series/2023/08/02/transformers-el-despertar-de-las-bestias-es-la-pelicula-mas-taquillera-de-la-historia-en-peru-transformers-7-machu-picchu-103204 'Transformers: el despertar de las bestias' es la película más taquillera de la historia en Perú]</ref> and Peru ranks as the fourth highest-grossing territory for the film, behind only the United States, China and Mexico.<ref>[https://www.boxofficemojo.com/releasegroup/gr2443334149/ Rise of the Beasts International Numbers]</ref>

===Changes before, during, and after production===
[[File:ROTB-concept-Rampage.jpg|thumb|250px|I prefer to beat my enemies the old-fashioned way: brutally!]]
* An early cut of the film opened with a different prologue, in which a Decepticon named [[Transit (ROTB)|Transit]], dispatched from a Decepticon-controlled Cybertron to hunt down Optimus Prime, battles and is killed by Optimus, who dumps his body in the Hudson River alongside numerous other Decepticons who have tried to do the same in the past few years. The scene was dropped due to test audiences finding it too dark, but [[John DiMaggio]] remains credited as the voice of Transit even in the finished film. Most of the visual effects for the scene were completed, and it was included (sans the river-dumping part) as a bonus feature with the movie's home media release.
**The scene was replaced for the finished film with Unicron's attack on the Maximal homeworld, which in the earlier cut was recounted by Airazor with hologram visual-aids during the scene when she meets the Autobots mid-movie.
* Cheetor and Rhinox were initially intended to be introduced slightly earlier, encountering Elena and Noah in the underground cavern. In scenes interspersed with the Autobots' and Terrorcons' running battle on the hilltop road, Cheetor was to be the one who took down Freezer as he menaced the two humans, after which Noah's gauntlet would accidentally fire a shot at the Maximal, causing him and Rhinox to chase them through the cave. Cut in favor of making the Autobot/Terrorcon battle one unbroken scene, the alternate version was included as a bonus on the home media release.
* Concept art sketches show [[:File:Rampage-face.jpg|a movie version]] of [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] was originally supposed to appear as [[:File:ROTB-Rampage-concept.jpg|a deceased corpse]] during the underground cavern sequence of the movie. Although scrapped for the final cut, [https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu44E6aoECC/ a full 360° CGI model] for the character was created.
* Multiple changes were made to the film's ending, which originally had a much darker tone like the scrapped opening. Originally, Mirage wasn't planned to survive the final battle, and Optimus would have been sucked into the portal after destroying the Transwarp Key and wind up floating in space before Unicron in the post-credits scene. Reactions by the audience in test screenings convinced Caple to change the ending to something a bit more hopeful, wanting to let the good guys get a solid win.<ref name=AltEnding>[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-ending-1235512382/ ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ Director Steven Caple Jr. Talks That Ending, Hailee Steinfeld and Test Screening Changes — The Hollywood Reporter]</ref> The scene of Prime and Unicron was included as an extra with the home media release.
* Two versions of the final scene were filmed: one in which Agent Burke's business card reveals him to be part of [[Sector Seven]], and the version used in the film, in which he's part of G.I. Joe. According to Caple, the Sector Seven version was filmed only as misdirection, and the G.I. Joe version was always the one he intended to use.<ref name=Joe/>
* Other deleted/extended scenes included on the home media release include: Elena's moment of panicked disbelief (prominently showcased in the movie's trailer) shortly after the museum battle; Noah speaking with his mother when he returns home after the museum battle; a wholesomely cute moment between Elena and Airazor before Mirage and Noah join the group to depart for Peru, in which Airazor explains the Maximal insignia; and a short scene of Optimus Primal about to hand the Transwarp Key over to Optimus Prime, before they are interrupted by Airazor's rampage.
* Additional cuts not represented in the extras from throughout the film included: a scene of Bumblebee showing a polaroid of himself and [[Charlie Watson]] to Optimus Prime as they wait outside the museum, to emphasise that some humans are trustworthy; innuendos between Arcee and Wheeljack that hint at a romantic attraction between the two; some dialogue from Scourge emphasising that (not unlike Galvatron in the original animated movie) he is an unwilling servant of Unicron; a scene of Wheeljack lending his glasses to Optimus Prime to use like a telescope; and an alternate plan to destroy the Transwarp Key in the final act that involves using the deceased Airazor's spark as a bomb, only for the bomb to be lost, leaving Elena to figure out the codes.
* During production, the Scorponok drones initially had a troll-like robot mode, and dozens of them would have merged into a massive Scorponok [[combiner]] that towered over the Autobots and Maximals in the final battle. Although their [https://www.eddiedelrio.com 3D models] were made, they were ultimately cut out.
* Concept art was created for a fourth Terrorcon who ultimately never made it to the final film.

==Notes==
* In a first for the franchise, the lead human actors, multiple writers, the composer, and the director are all people of color.
* This is the first movie in the series not to be worked on by [[Industrial Light & Magic]]; this time around the CG effects were done by [[Moving Picture Company]] and [[WetaFX]].
* Steven Caple Jr. was initially sceptical of working on a ''Transformers'' movie, which at that point in development was being called ''Bumblebee 2'', because he was uncertain about jumping right into another sequel after directing ''{{w|Creed II}}''—however, the incorporation of elements inspired by ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'', which Caple Jr. had been a fan of, helped sway him. Upon joining the project, he pitched several revisions, drawing from his enthusiasm for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' by adding [[Unicron]] (and the [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcon]]s) and Noah's exosuit, along with a prologue on the [[Maximal]]s' homeworld and a new arc for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] centred around his initial misanthropy.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=The first time that- I did ''Creed 2'', and the first time the studio ever knocked on my door, it was for ''Bumblebee 2''. And I was like, "I don't want to do- I just came out from ''Creed 2'', I don't want to do a sequel..." you know? And so a year had gone by—or maybe two, right before COVID—and they said, "we found out the story we want to tackle: we want to bring in ''Beast Wars''." I was like, "I know all about ''Beast Wars'', I'm down for ''Beast Wars''." And so they developed a script on their own, they passed it to me—2020, October 5th, I remember the date—and I jumped right in and I kind of did my own version of the pitch, I said: "I love where you guys are going, you guys want to do New York, you guys want to do the 90s, you want to do Peru, but here's what I'll do, with the characters..." So I changed up Optimus Prime, I gave him a whole pitch on how I would start him with like, not loving humans at first, and not besiding Noah right off the rip, they're gonna have friction between the two... Gave 'em a pitch for Optimus Primal, where they start off in the top of the movie, and I gave them a new Unicron- I mean a new villain, which was Unicron and the Terrorcon squad. I just felt like, as a fan, we've been tiptoeing around Unicron, and all the other films kind of like hinted towards him towards the end, and I just really want to expand the universe and I felt like he was that perfect source to do so, because he tells us there's another world out there, there's more Transformers out there, it's not just Autobots and Decepticons. And then of course the [[exosuit]], that was my idea, it was homage to the 80s cartoon, so... It was a bit of that, pitched it to 'em and they loved the heart, they love where I was going with the direction of the characters, and yeah, they kind of gave me the key to play!|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxUukVwKLCc|name=Steven Caple Jr.|site=Collider|title=Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Interview: Director Reveals Big Change to Film|year=2023|month=06|day=06}}</ref>
* [[Tobe Nwigwe]]'s character of [[Reek]] was based Steven Caple Jr.'s friend Tarik Jackson, who passed away before shooting began in 2021.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=The way I got the ''Transformers'' role was insane. [...] One of [Steven Caple Jr.'s] best friends was a fan of the music, and his best friend, right, like, as they was getting ready to start shooting the movie... passed. Passed, yeah. And he had Paramount Studios reach out to me to try to play a specific- the best friend role in ''Transformers''. They kind of emulated who his best friend was in real life. He told Paramount [...] "reach out to Tobe and if he send anything back that's even ''halfway'' decent... I want to use him." But because I had never done no acting ever in my life, I just had this script right here, and just read it like I was acting, and just recorded myself on the iPhone and I was like, "yo there's no way in hell..." [...] I did that, sent that in, and they liked it!|link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfAoWTKh3R8&t=2638s|name=Tobe Nwigwe|site=Sway's Universe|year=2023|month=01|day=23}}</ref>

* During an interview with a fan, voice actor David Sobolov revealed that Caple Jr. would create storyboards using Transformers toys. Awesome!<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdsfclO5etE&t=1106 "ROTB UNICRON IS THRILLING!" | Interview with DAVID SOBOLOV (Rhinox + Battletrap)! - YouTube]</ref>
* According to Caple Jr., Optimus's unmasked face was modeled after Peter Cullen's.
* As a result of Transit's removal, this is the first live-action film to not feature the Decepticons in any capacity.
* To keep the secret of the ''G.I. Joe'' tease at the end of the movie, most copies of the script and the version of the scene shot for test screenings all used [[Sector Seven]] instead.

Joe, so audiences in test screenings wouldn't know the true reveal. There was only one copy of the G.I. Joe business card, and Caple took that himself from set for safe keeping. "I was like, 'I'm taking this. I don't want this to be found on the floor,'" he says. "I actually didn't have them printed out until that day [on set]. We were very cautious of it, man.

==Notes==
*Steve Jablonsky [http://theknightshift.blogspot.com/2007/09/steve-jablonsky-thanks-you-for.html personally thanked Chris Knight and all fans] who enjoyed the [[Transformers: The Score|''Transformers'' score]] and organized an internet petition to support its release, despite it being planned anyway. Later, [http://theknightshift.blogspot.com/2007/10/first-review-anywhere-of-transformers.html Jablonsky sent Knight two personalised autographed copies of the score soundtrack], as well as a third autographed copy to be auctioned off, with proceeds to fund music education.
*For ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', Jablonsky enlisted the help of his mentor [[Hans Zimmer]] and rock band [[Linkin Park]] while working on the score, with the latter's "[[New Divide]]" being interpolated on the cue "N.E.S.T." from the score album. He similarly collaborated with rock band [[Imagine Dragons]] while working on ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'', using their vocals from "[[Battle Cry]]" throughout the score as the Yeagers' theme.
*While not the main composer for ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]]'', Jablonsky mentored and collaborated with franchise newcomer [[Jongnic Bontemps]], with the tracks "Switchback Chase" and "Humans and Autobots United" crediting him as the main artist, while "Till All Are One" credits him as a co-composer instead. In the movie proper, Jablonsky gets a "music produced by" credit as well.

* In a first for the franchise, "The Maximals" was released to music streaming apps as a single on [[June 2]], a week before both the film and the album.
* Kris Díaz's name is erroneously spelt as "Chris" on the album.
* Bontemps reportedly recorded a ten-minute demo with a forty-piece orchestra on his own dime in 2021 in hopes of landing the job!<ref>"Bontemps actively sought the job and took nothing for granted. He wrote 10 minutes of music he thought might be appropriate for a “Transformers” epic and recorded it with a 40-piece orchestra at his own expense. That April 2021 recording, his demo, met with no response." - [https://variety.com/2023/artisans/news/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-score-composer-bontemps-interview-1235636948/ Variety feature on Bontemps, 9 Jun 2023]</ref>
* During the recording of the score, Bontemps revealed on his Instagram account that his mentor Steve Jablonsky would be returning to the franchise in some way. It was later revealed that Jablonsky had assisted in writing some cues for the film, receiving three track credits in addition to an overall producer credit in the movie proper.<ref>"So I met Steve, it was a wonderful conversation and he agreed to come on board and mentor...

Bonecrusher (Movie)

2023-12-01T01:39:02Z

Wtrz: /* Masterpiece Movie Series */ he's out in the US!

{{factions|decepticonfilm|NEST}}

:''Bonecrusher is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Transformers]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:HeatScramble_MovieBonecrusher.jpg|right|300px|thumb|''He was a sk8ter boi She said see ya later boy'']]

Known as the "Claw of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]", '''Bonecrusher''' can be described with one word: hate. While other Decepticons get by on greed, ambition, or just their fondness for dispensing chaos, Bonecrusher is fueled by sheer, unrelenting hate. He hates everyone and everything, be they Autobot, Decepticon, or anything in-between—he even hates ''himself'', revolted by his misshapen, hunchbacked robot mode, which he considers a reflection of all the ugliness and malice inside himself. The full force of this vicious cycle of hatred finds release in explosive frenzied bursts of psychotic brutality, as Bonecrusher takes out the full force of his bitterness and self-loathing on anyone who looks at him sideways. He hates that. He also hates Megatron, but would hate being terminated by the Decepticon leader more, so he sticks around.

On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Bonecrusher was actually quite a skilled tactician—dedicated to the art of war, a fast thinker who could plough into battle while others were still mapping out strategy, and, most importantly in Megatron's eyes, a masterfully ''dirty'' fighter. However, Bonecrusher's skills left him consigned to a supervisory position and kept him off the battlefield, which, of course, he hated. Naturally, this only helped to increase his already epic levels of frustration and misery at his lot in life, until he became what he is today.<ref>Bonecrusher's profile in [[Transformers Comic issue 8|Titan's UK Transformers Comic #8]]</ref> He's so intensely pent-up that he'll unflinchingly take on opponents of any size—the bigger the better! Bonecrusher wouldn't hesitate to confront [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] head on, if he could.

He transforms into a Buffalo mine-clearing vehicle used by the military, perhaps because it was the vehicle he hated the least.

[[Image:Movie Bonecrusher carflip.jpg|left|250px|thumb|He hates the sundown slowdown.]]
Bonecrusher was hiding out in the motor pool of a military base when he received a communique from Starscream ordering the Decepticons to mobilize and converge on the location of the AllSpark. Leaving the base, he reported that he was "rolling" out. Sometime after this, he rendezvoused with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]], and the three Decepticons headed off together to intercept the Autobots and their human allies who had the AllSpark in their possession.

[[Image:Movie Bonecrusher face.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Bonecrusher, like most celebs, hates the paparazzi. He also hates closeups.]]
Devastator wandered off somewhere, so Bonecrusher and Barricade continued their pursuit on the freeway. Barricade activated his sirens to clear the traffic and allow them more maneuvering room. Unsatisfied with Barricade's less conspicuous method, Bonecrusher used his mine-scoop to flip cars out of his way. Surprisingly, the Autobots didn't find this out of the ordinary, and only reacted when [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]] recognized Barricade and warned the Autobots. [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] aligned to block the Decepticons from [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], who had the AllSpark and the fleshlings.

[[Image:Movie2007_Bonecrusher_attacks_Prime.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Bonecrusher loves (for once) to watch things burn. Just not himself.]]
After Barricade pulled over to the side of the road, Bonecrusher transformed while still moving and skated towards the Autobots. Optimus Prime transformed and slid into position to block his path. Seeing the Autobot he really hated, Bonecrusher smashed through a bus, and tackled Optimus Prime, pushing him off an overpass tumbling and falling off the edge, dragging the Autobot leader down with him.

[[Image:Movie Bonecrusher dies.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Thus began (and ended) Bonecrusher's hatred of Prime's sword.]]
When they landed, he sucker-punched Optimus Prime, who then hit Bonecrusher so hard one of the Decepticon's [[Sensors#Optical sensors|optics]] popped free from its socket, all the while being observed by a little kid in an SUV, who thought the entire experience was ''cool''. The two played a little cat-and-mouse along the overpasses. After Prime jumped down to ground level, Bonecrusher swung his claw wildly at the Autobot, all the while screaming incoherently. This gave Optimus the opportunity he needed to get his [[Dual Energon Swords|sword]] ready... which the Autobot leader used to cleave off Bonecrusher's right arm and run through the Decepticon's neck, nearly severing it. Optimus then wrenched Bonecrusher's head from its neck and tossed it aside. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

Bonecrusher was known and feared by Autobots for never giving up. He almost killed [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] once and pursued him and his comrade [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] for ages, driven by his hatred of nice-looking shiny robots (or nice-looking ''anythings''). As he said, "I figure, why should they look so nice... when I look like ''this!''" Clocker covered the wounded Jazz's retreat and tried to fight Bonecrusher, who hated that and killed him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space 4: Jazz}}

In an [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|alternate timeline]] where Megatron won the battle of Mission City, Bonecrusher was surprisingly still alive and was in charge of security at the Decepticon's [[AllSpark]] holding facility. Although he was happy that he has his arm and head reattached, he hated his job, as he was just a glorified drone director, and not able to kill anything himself. Thus, when he learned that Ironhide and Ratchet were trying to get into the facility, he decided to let the two Autobot infiltrators in, just so he could personally confront and kill them. So he not only disliked his job, he also wasn't very good at it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} His fists hated on Ironhide's face before Ratchet stepped in, tearing the Decepticon up with offensive weaponry. [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]'s team arrived to take out the drones, leaving Ironhide and Ratchet free to bash up Bonecrusher {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}; you'd think he would have hated this and wanted it to stop, but when the Autobots got pinned down by [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drone fire, Bonecrusher ''tore apart his own troops'' to reach and kill the Autobots. He fought Ironhide again and this time lost, and may have been blown up with the AllSpark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday''===
Bonecrusher was part of the crew of the ''Nemesis'', led by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who were searching for Megatron, who was lost thousands of years before, along with the [[AllSpark]]. He hated Starscream, but then so did pretty much all the other Decepticons on board.

When Starscream left to go destroy [[Ghost 1|an alien vessel]], Bonecrusher eagerly joined [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]'s plan to attack the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'' against Starscream's orders, as there was nothing else to attack. Bypassing [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], he headed straight for the ''Ark''. However, when he forced his way into the hangar, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] were waiting, and unleashed hell upon him. He hated that. When Blackout ordered a withdrawal, Bonecrusher reluctantly complied.

Shortly afterwards, Barricade picked Bonecrusher to lead another assault on the ''Ark''. His only response to the command was a growl. The battle went better, this time with Bonecrusher managing to inflict some serious damage on Jazz. When Starscream joined them, but refused to tell them what he'd learned about the alien ship, Blackout challenged their leader, and Bonecrusher and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] kept well back. Blackout had his [[exhaust port]] handed to him, and Bonecrusher was ordered to drag him back to the ''Nemesis''. During the subsequent fight, Bonecrusher had to fight Ironhide, and managed to dent his armor. However, when Starscream ordered the destruction of the alien ship, Blackout questioned his reasons, and Bonecrusher backed his fallen comrade up, though didn't press the issue as they were mid-battle. Later, Bonecrusher managed to spear Optimus with his tail, but the alien ship's weapons damaged Starscream enough that the Decepticons had to retreat, and Bonecrusher was forced to help his leader back to the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

During the civil war on Cybertron, Bonecrusher was one of many warriors who fought for Megatron before the planet was ultimately abandoned. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

Bonecrusher was a member of Starscream's unit that was keeping [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s reinforcements out of [[Tyger Pax]]. When [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] arrived with news of Megatron and the AllSpark, Bonecrusher insisted that they move on as they had already killed all the Autobots in the area. He then demanded that Brawl take them to Megatron or he would kill them all. Witnessing the launch of the AllSpark, [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] commented that [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] would die, but Bonecrusher replied that they should let it die, and that Barricade should join it in death. After Starscream and Blackout settled their differences, the group headed after Megatron. {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}}

They landed on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], the fourth planet of the solar system where they had detected the AllSpark's energy signature. The Decepticons destroyed a [[Beagle 2 Rover|primitive life form]] encountered on the surface. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

The Decepticons made planetfall on [[Earth]] in Afghanistan, quickly attracting the attention of a nearby [[United States military|US military]] base, which sent out an armoured personnel carrier to investigate. Bonecrusher declared his satisfaction in finally having something to kill, but this chance was snatched away when [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] scanned the vehicle and destroyed it. He hated when that happened. Hitting the US airbase, Bonecrusher easily killed the humans before scanning a Buffalo mine-clearance vehicle. Bonecrusher hated the notion of "disguise", but hated standing out more. After scanning, he complained that there weren't enough lifeforms to kill. {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}}

While attempting to reach Allspark by tearing through the traffic, Bonecrusher came face to face with Optimus Prime {{storylink|#FreewayBrawl|Freeway Brawl}} in the [[Colorado]] freeways. Even with his own massive strength, he felt Optimus Prime slowly overpowering him. {{storylink|#RPMs - Robot Powered Machines|Optimus Prime vs. Bonecrusher (Battle Series)}}

Despite all appearances, Bonecrusher managed to escape after his encounter with Optimus Prime (missing his head? beaten to a pulp?). While hiding out in the South American jungle, his version of relieving stress was ripping apart trees and destroying South American military convoys. {{storylink|#Jungle|Jungle Bonecrusher}} He was also plotting revenge on Optimus Prime for his defeat at his hands. {{storylink|#RPM2|Optimus Prime vs. Bonecrusher (Battle Series 2)}}

After the defeat of Megatron and The Fallen, Bonecrusher came out of hiding and vowed to destroy every Autobot he could find, if it was the last thing he did. He was last seen deep in the [[Sahara]] Desert. {{storylink|#FuryofBonecrusher|The Fury of Bonecrusher}}

Following Bonecrusher's death, his body was kept at the [[N.E.S.T. N.B.E. Resource Redistribution Plant]] in [[Toronto]], [[Canada]] waiting to be melted down by [[NEST]].

: Released in the third wave of ''Transformers'' Deluxe Class figures, Bonecrusher transforms into a {{w|Buffalo (mine protected vehicle)|Buffalo mine-protected vehicle}}, with an articulated "mine-fork" for removing mines or cars or robots or unsuspecting buildings from his path. Although the fork is packaged with its sets of tines opposing one another, they can be rotated into a more appropriate side-by-side vehicle mode configuration, which the instructions fail to call out. He has six rolling wheels in this mode, and two sculpted, non-functional spare wheels. Also undocumented in the instructions are a pair of panels on his shoulders which are pinned through, able to be folded out.

: His robot mode is, like most of the movie toys, based on pre-final design work, explaining his ''extremely'' long extensible arms as seen on some concept art. The mine-fork splits to form a grabber-claw, which can snap onto victims with a geared slider [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] mechanism. His hips can often detach from the codpiece holding them together. He is extremely short compared to many contemporary Deluxes. The left side of his vehicle mode has a sticker of his personal symbol, a [[Bonecrusher (dog)|dog]] with a set of mine-fork tines coming from its mouth.

: He is named "Bone'''s'''crusher" on the Canadian [[cross-sell]]. Guess how Bonecrusher feels about ''that'' little misspelling.

: This figure was also repurposed as a [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|generic Constructicon]] in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]''.

:In Europe, the names on the packaging are [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] Vs. [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] for some reason. Bonecrusher hates packaging errors.

==Notes==
[[File:PhotoshoppedBuffalo.jpg|upright=1.0|thumb|*Giant fork and Decepticon insignia not included with the real Buffalo.* Bonecrusher hates those disclaimers.]]
[[File:Movie Bonecrusher carflip error.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1|You know these "photoshop fails" where someone has an extra arm?]]

* The real Buffalo mine-sweeping vehicle doesn't have such a huge fork. It is only 14 inches (35 centimeters) wide. The image that inspired Bonecrusher's design was actually a Photoshopped image put on the official Force Protection company's site to make it look more impressive. A 10-foot-wide (3 meter) appliance had to be fixed on Bonecrusher's arm for the movie.
* The majority of clips during Bonecrusher's highway car-flipping scenes have the mine-sweeping arm completely computer animated, as evident by the real, unaltered 14 inch-forked mine-sweeping arm being visbile in its docked position (where it sits while it is not in use). It seems that, despite there being mention behind the scenes that an appliance was attached to make it more menacing, the attached appliance—and possibly the arm's hydraulics—were not actually strong enough to lift cars like [[Michael Bay]] had originally wanted, leading to a new CGI arm being added in post-production. Unfortunately, the animators forgot to remove the ''real'' arm that the CGI arm extends out of.
* Force Protection loves Bonecrusher and the fact that he has picked their Buffalo as its alternate mode. They are actually quite proud of it.
* Bonecrusher's toy was used as a prop for a [[CNN]] Headline News report demonstrating the real Buffalo vehicle's mine-sweeping arm.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maAWP2uVd7M Bonecrusher Saves Lives]</ref>
* According to a press kit sent out in conjunction with the movie, Bonecrusher is "another [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]" who "forms [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]'s left arm".<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20110721045136/http://numberonestars.com/transformers/production/decepticons.htm Decepticons: The “bad guys” in Transformers race]</ref> Thus far, there have been no reports of people using Bonecrusher as one of Brawl's arms, left or otherwise.
** Regardless, a Constructicon resembling Bonecrusher appears in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 3|''Tales of the Fallen'' #3]] and [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]].
* At various points during his fight with Optimus Prime, Bonecrusher emits some garbled roars that some viewers want to believe is English dialogue. However, the subtitles and closed captions for the film do not identify any dialogue, just labeling it as "roaring," and considering how future films would depict the Decepticons as often speaking in garbled Cybertronian gibberish, it seems unlikely that Bonecrusher was intended to be saying anything comprehensible to human ears.
* Bonecrusher is Michael Bay's favorite character from the film, despite his limited screentime—so much so that Bay named [[Bonecrusher (dog)|his new dog]] after him.
* In one of [[Hasbro Q&A|Hasbro's bimonthly Q & As]], it was revealed that, in retrospect, Hasbro thought a Voyager-class figure would have been a better fit for the figure than the Deluxe. Over a decade after the release of the first film, ''Studio Series'' rectified this with a new Voyager-class figure.
* Bonecrusher's sequences were particularly difficult for [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] to do at first. The solution came from videotaping employees rollerblading in the parking lot, and a pair of fighting experts going through the motions wanted for Bonecrusher and Prime, then using that footage as references.<ref>''Transformers'' DVD commentary</ref>
*Bonecrusher's [[:File:Bonecrusher Concept Head Planetfall.jpg|head design]] in the [[Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall]] prequel comic appears to be based on a [https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7338/14099440531_01e6dd1535_b.jpg particular] early concept art or a similiar one for the 2007 movie.
* Each time he appears in ''[[Transformers: Forged to Fight|Forged to Fight]]'', Bonecrusher has ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' as his multiverse credit, rather than the ''[[Transformers (film)|MV1]]'' credit as seen with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. While ''Forged to Fight'' may be referring to the [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon]] from that film, one can only assume he hates this error.
* Last but not least, Bonecrusher hates ''[[you]]''.

*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: Only available in a two-pack with a desert-themed recolor of [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], Ironhide transforms into a licensed GMC Topkick. Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that have full-length exhaust stacks. Also, due to it's ''simplified'' design, Ironhide's arms stick out from the back of his trunk, And his vehicle mode seems to suffer from somewhat awkward proportions.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''TakaraTomy ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles
{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro)}}

: Released in the second wave of [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|''Transformers'']] Voyagers, Ironhide transforms into a licensed modified black 2006 {{w|GMC Topkick}} 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode, his arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead of relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

:The soles of his feet/truck bed are completely smooth and featureless, hiding his feet in truck mode. Unfortunately, the smooth soles also mean that his feet have trouble gripping most surfaces. This, combined with his loose above-the-knee swivels, means that he has trouble standing up in all but the stiffest of poses. The peg that holds his windshield is also prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.

**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]]. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the 2007 ''Movie'' line.

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

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

:Part of the ''[[Fast Action Battlers]]'' line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

:''Cyber Slammers'' Ironhide is an amazingly cute GMC Topkick that transforms into an amazingly cute trigger happy weapons specialist. 'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most ''Cyber Slammers'', Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, this is the only pre-Revenge of the Fallen merchandise to feature Ironhide's scarred right eye.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-02'''

{{toydesigner|[[Tomoya Miyake]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool and redeco of the toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line, featuring a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors, as well as having a more accurate, asymmetrical head.

: The original arm cannons have also been replaced by new, more accurate (and less [[gimmick]]y) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The large cannon features screw-driving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can also retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. The smaller cannon can be swung down flush with the barrel of the larger cannon as well, evoking the giant missile launcher combo from the previous mold. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 version, so any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top.

: According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.

: There was also a packaging [[variant]], with the missile being alternatively loaded or unloaded in the box.

**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''RA-26'''
**''Accessories:'' Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile

:Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armored door panels, adding a roof/truck-bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and combined with his spring-loaded cannon to form a crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned spring-loaded cannon, a smaller static version of his right-arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a mini-gun, and two combat knives, one being short and serrated, the other being long and straight-edged.

:In one of the first intentional uses of the [[C joint]] system (if not ''the'' first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle to act as a bayonet, and the rifles and knives can be attached to his various bars and rails. The rifle and mini-gun can be pegged to the sides of his arm-mounted cannons, and they can also peg into the main barrel of his static arm cannon.

:Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new head-sculpt featuring his battle mask.

:In response to the [[For safety reasons|breakage issues]] concerning the windshield peg, all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in softer and more flexible opaque plastic, compared to the more rigid translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.

{{toydesigner|[[Alex Kubalsky]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

: ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' Ironhide transforms from licensed GMC Topkick (with proper length smokestacks) to robot via a surprisingly complex transformation scheme.

:The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game]]. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm's cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide's vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can then be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult, however, if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret's legs which are attached to a hinge which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards. His hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide's or MechTech weapons.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this figure features a significant coloring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in light blue, TakaraTomy's uses dark grey plastic.

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro), [[Hisao Nishimoto]] (TakaraTomy)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commanders, Ironhide is a roughly Scout-sized figure that transforms into a licensed GMC Topkick.

: He comes with two cannons that can attach to the sides or top of his vehicle mode. One of his cannons has a [[C joint]], allowing it to attach to the bed cover, and both cannons can combine into a larger weapon. In robot mode, he can attach his guns on the sides of his arms, his back, or hold them in his hands. The multi-barreled cannon features a free spinning barrel.

: This [[Target]]-exclusive Ironhide is a redeco of the Cyberverse Commander figure. He is now dark blue, has [[cyberglyphics]] on the hood and doors of his vehicle mode, and the tips of his multi-barreled cannon are painted gold, creating an overall effect somewhat similar to the 2008 "Offroad Ironhide." He comes in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]].

:This set also sold in Turkey as a {{w|Carrefour}} exclusive.

: Another redeco of Cyberverse Commander Ironhide, this time [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]] in a 4 pack with redecoes of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#CybertronianWarriors|Bumblebee]] (with [[Mobile Battle Bunker#CybertronianWarriors|APC]]), [[Crankcase (DOTM)#CybertronianWarriors|Crankcase]], and [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#CybertronianWarriors|Barricade]]. Ironhide is given a "Premium"-esque deco of his standard colors, with a matte-black finish and gold highlights. He's also something of the odd bot out of the set, with Crankcase and Barricade colored like MD Metro police, and Bumblebee given a damage deco on his front (to represent the damage done to one of the stunt cars playing Bumblebee when it collided with an actual DC police vehicle).

: With matching paint jobs (the dark grayish black and bronze are near perfect matches), it appears as if the APC was intended to go with Ironhide more so than Bumblebee.

{{toydesigner|[[Sam Smith]] (Hasbro)|[[Andrew Scribner]] and [[Mark Maher]] (deco)}}

:This redeco of Deluxe class Ironhide is [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]]' Mission Earth: The Scan Series, to represent him [[trans-scan]]ning his vehicle mode. As such, nearly all of his vehicle mode parts (and thus, most of his robot mode) are cast in translucent clear plastic, with the rear of his vehicle mode being left unpainted, the middle having painted scan lines, and the front having a heavy amount of [[paint operation]]s in order to cover the clear plastic.

:His packaging [[stock photography]] shows his legs as being cast in translucent plastic, when the final product has these cast in opaque gray plastic, possibly [[for safety reasons|for durability reasons]]. Also, the white "scan" line on the vehicle sides in stock photos is directly vertical, whereas on the actual figure it is on an angle towards the front.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA04'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon
{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class Ironhide is smaller, but more accurate, than previous Voyager Class Ironhide toys and still transforms into a licensed GMC Topkick.

:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] "Booster" that converts into a "Particle Cannon" by extending and spinning its barrels when the back is pressed. Twisting the knob at the back of the weapon when it is fully extended will lock it into place. The Booster/Particle Cannon (or any other MechTech weapon) can be attached to Ironhide via [[5 mm post|5mm post]] MechTech ports on his truck sides, vehicle roof/robot back, and in his fists, or they can be mounted onto MechTech ports and posts under his forearms in robot mode. Additionally, the Booster/Particle Cannon itself features a MechTech port on top of its housing. The cannons and weapons included with the previous Voyager Class Ironhide toys can also be used with this figure.

:He has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmick on his vehicle front end/chest, wherein pushing it automatically deforms both halves of the front end into his chest, and pulling it reforms it back to the vehicle front end.

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography|stock photo]] has him mis-transformed. The vehicle mode panel kibble on his left leg has not been pegged in, his feet are backwards, and the tailgate pieces, normally folded into the soles of his feet, are left flipped out and sticking out from the back.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Ironhide in a [[Ironhide (G1)|G1-inspired]] color scheme, with most of his black parts being cast in orange-red. Specifically, the deco was based on [[Ken Christiansen]]'s ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]] [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/transformers-prime-ironhidetoy.html concept art]. His deco consists of the upper half of his vehicle being cast in red and his lower half being painted a matte black, with an orange stripe running in-between. His MechTech weapon has been redecoed as well, with a cooler shade of gray for the housing, and black for the main cannon body.

*'''Ironhide''' (Mechtech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese Name'':'''Ultimate Ironhide'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': '''[[2011]]-[[July 16|07-16]]'''
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''DA-16'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile
{{toydesigner|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist), [[Lenny Panzica]] (voice actor)}}

:Released in the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Leaders, This version of Ironhide transforms into a licensed GMC Topkick and is his first [[Size class|Leader Class]] toy, featuring all sorts of weaponry and other [[gimmick]]s.

:His main gimmick is his chest-mounted Cybertronian Blitz Cannon, which is activated when either the license plate panel (used as a lever) on his abdomen is flipped and pushed down (similarly to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime toy]]), or when a tall gray piece on the back-right of his head is pressed down. Two flaps on his abdomen open up, and a back-lit spinning cannon is deployed, lighting up his eyes as well as playing a rapid-fire shooting sound until the button is released, in which the cannon retracts back into his innards and a winding/powering-down sound is played.

:Ironhide's other lights and sounds gimmick is related to his head: when either the button on his chest or the lever on the back of his head are used, his [[mouthplate]] moves down, his eyes flash green and says the following the phrases, "Ironhide here" and "Weapons ready." (He is not voiced by [[Jess Harnell]], but by [[Lenny Panzica]].) He also features cannons mounted on his arms/roof that pop out and deploy when each respective smokestack is pulled, and can be used in either vehicle or robot mode. There is also a small button behind the cabin that emits a (rather vague) sound of the vehicle driving and firing its cannons/ramming through obstacles when it is pressed. If the button is held down further, additional driving and engine revving sounds are emitted.

:Lastly, Ironhide has two weapons hidden in each of his legs. Opening the side of his left leg reveals and pops up a removable knife, whereas opening his right leg deploys a detachable spring-loaded cannon, either of which he can wield.

:Interestingly, he is more or less at [[scale]] with the various [[Human Alliance]] toys.

:The international version replaces his first saying with a simple "Ironhide", and the second "Weapons ready" saying is replaced with a robotic stomping sound (which is a modified version of the "ramming through obstacles" vehicle-mode sound.) Some units have the spring pushed and compressed too far back into the launcher, preventing the projectile from even shooting out. This ''can'' be fixed, but pulling and stretching the small spring further out while it is in the launcher may be rather difficult. Early versions of this toy also have a glued neck joint which prevents the head from turning. A [[Variant#Running changes|running change variant]] later restored the neck [[articulation]] and enlarged the "Try me!" hole of the toy's [[packaging]]. Unfortunately, this later version suffered from particularly poor [[quality control]] concerning the silver [[paint operation]]s beside his headlights, as they tended to come scratched off in the box.

:The two of his hood halves also frequently detach from the ball joints they are mounted on during transformation, quite possibly [[for safety reasons]].

:Despite being advertised as a MechTech figure, Leader class Ironhide's gimmicks are almost entirely unrelated to the interchangeable, spring-loaded MechTech weapons seen on most of the other ''Dark of the Moon'' MechTech toys. Besides his fists, the only two 5mm post/MechTech ports on Ironhide are the ones on the hood halves above his shoulders, which can only be accessed in robot mode. His leg-mounted gun and knife can be removed and shared, however.

:His box mentions "Automatic conversion sounds", yet no such sound plays during transformation. Additionally, he is mis-transformed in his stock photography, as his vehicle front-end chest is not connected to his [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-bumper]] grille, nor are the wheels angled into his chest.

:The Japanese release of the figure comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his arm cannons for the MechTech Wars online game, even though his built-in arm cannons aren't removable, interchangeable 5mm MechTech accessories. However, as noted above, Ironhide's knife and leg-mounted missile launcher are removable and can be wielded by other figures.

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Ironhide is a redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' Leader Class Ironhide sporting a new red, gray, and silver color scheme that [[homage]]s ''[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' Ironhide similar to the previously-released Cannon Force Ironhide toys. He features the unrestricted, articulated neck joint, but uses the international version of the soundchip.

:His packaging call-outs still mention the "Automatic conversion sounds" he doesn't have. Worse yet, his packaging [[stock photography|stock photos]], which depict a hand-painted [[prototype]], are simply a recolored version of his first Leader Class toy, retaining the mis-transformations, having ''numerous'' color and deco differences, and just generally being so sloppily edited that the robot and vehicle-mode photos are inconsistent with ''each other.'' Oh well...

:Ironhide was initially available at general retail in China and other Asian Hasbro markets in English-only ''Generations'' packaging as part of Hasbro's Global Development Organization ([[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Exclusives|"GDO"]]) line-up. He was later made available by Hasbro in Canada as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive... in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese ''Dark of the Moon'' packaging with additional ''[[Movie Trilogy Series]]'' labels.

:''[[Studio Series]]'' "Autobot Ironhide" transforms into a licensed GMC Heavy Duty Topkick 6500 4×4 Crew Cab Edition. He comes with two different arm cannons, which plug into his forearms via 5mm pegs. The two arm cannons can combine and plug into the back of the truck via small tabs, or plug in individually. The cannons feature [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]] semblances of parts of his vehicle mode for screen-accuracy, one of them even going so far as having heavily deformed recreations of his driver-side doors.

:His truck hood parts come mistransformed in the packaging; they actually plug into difficult-to-notice slots buried in his collar, while the doors wrap around and tab into two struts on his back. He comes with a cardboard backdrop depicting the battle of Mission City.

:Despite the toy's focus on movie-accuracy, Ironhide's front bumper is a single piece incapable of wrapping around his chest like in the CG model, presumably for budgeting reasons.

:Ironhide was first released in Singapore without any prior announcement by Hasbro. Ironhide also saw poor distribution for the retail market, as he is limited to 3 units or so. Said distribution also forces some of the fans to buy him at online stores.

:Part of the 16th wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Ironhide is a retool of ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#SS82|Autobot Ratchet]], transforming into a boxy red Cybertronian truck with yellow accents in the style of the G1 version's vehicle mode. As with the majority of ''Bumblebee'''s Cybertronian characters, his alternate mode was created by Hasbro and TakaraTomy for the ''Studio Series'' toyline as the film model was not designed to transform. Ironhide comes with the same blaster accessory as Ratchet, which can be stored on top of his truck mode or on his back in robot mode. Like Ratchet, slightly untabbing his chest from the waist will allow for a side torso tilt. Ironhide features 5mm compatible feet like many other contemporary Deluxe Class figures.

:Most copies of Ironhide are reported to have incredibly loose joints, much moreso than his mold source Ratchet, which makes maintaining dynamic poses a challenge for him.

:Like all other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop. As with most ''Bumblebee'' ''Studio Series'' figures, this backdrop depicts a war-torn Cybertron as it appears at the beginning of the film.

:Released as the sixth figure of the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'', this Ironhide is based on his appearance in the 2007 film, transforming from a highly detailed, licensed GMC Heavy Duty Topkick 6500 4×4 Crew Cab Edition into a robot and back in 45 steps. He is exceedingly well armed, with his signature giant cannons mounted on his arms in robot mode, or on the sides of his truck mode, ready to do some serious damage. He features die-cast detailing, and is articulated in the hands, neck, and faceplate.

:This figure was originally announced for release in the middle of 2018 but ended up being delayed until the end of the year, probably to allow Hasbro and Takara to concentrate their resources on marketing ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]''.

Ironhide features blue [[light-piping]], an unexpected feature for a fast food promotional toy, but does not feature any form of articulation.

The entirety of his body flips out of his enormous head when it is opened. A similar gimmick is present in all the toys part of this promotion. Pushing the button on his back projects a red Autobot symbol out of his chest. There is an on/off switch on his back.

:As reported at [http://web.archive.org/web/20070708214518/http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=121589 Edmunds], [http://www.monroetruck.com/index.asp Monroe Truck Equipment], in association with Hasbro, released a GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie, with the only difference being that the truck retains its stock orange running lights (the props used blue) and the large stock sideview mirrors.

:Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications. Production on the GMC Topkick truck ceased when General Motors exited the medium-duty truck market in 2009. Ironhide's death in the third film is certainly not connected to this, not at all.

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

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

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

==Toys==

===MDLX Scale===
The smallest of the three scales offered, the MDLX figures are Threezero's equivalent to ''Figma'' and ''S.H. Figuarts'', being highly articulated action figures and measuring roughly six to seven inches tall. Each figure also comes with a small suite of accessories like alternate hands and a weapon. The characters for this scale are G1-inspired, original designs.
