Ironhide (Movie)/toys

2012-02-06T02:50:57Z

Wwelord: /* Voyager Class toys */

{{suite}}

'''[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]''' has enough toys to afford several new cannons.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Ironhide DesertBlackout.jpg|right|300px|thumb|''Don't mess'', Blackout, or Ironhide will wave his fist angrily while you fly out of range!]]
*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]].

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, there are many complaints about the fists sticking out of the back of the truck and the weird truck proportions.

{{-}}

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager Ironhide toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Guiltaur]] called, he wants his weapon back.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC Topkick|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]] 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 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.

{{anchor|VoyagerOffroad}}
[[Image:Movie Voyager Offroad Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Ironhide in full-fledged colour!]]
*'''Offroad Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''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 ''[[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.

{{-}}

{{anchor|VoyagerPremium}}
[[Image:Movie Ironhide PremiumVoyager toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The skies leaked powder on me.]]
*'''Ironhide''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

: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.
{{-}}

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Pop goes the Autobot.]]
*'''Cannon Blast Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile

: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.

{{-}}

{{anchor|FABPulse}}

[[Image:Movie FAB PulseCannon Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|It's a squirrel-squashin', deer-smackin', drivin' machine!]]
*'''Pulse Cannon Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missiles

:A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an [[homage]] to the [[:Image:G2Gobot_Ironhide.jpg|''Generation 2'' Go-Bots version]] of his ''[[Generation 1]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)|counterpart]], a redeco of Motormouth (see above). Funky!

{{-}}

====Cyber Slammers====
[[Image:Movie CyberSlammers Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Slam" This!]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Cyber Slammer, 2008)

: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.

{{-}}

====Titanium Series====
[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Ironhide.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Dances to every Bon Jovi song...ever.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (3-inch Robot Masters, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Movie Autobot sigil display stand

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Ironhide is a small, 3-inch-tall [[die-cast]] metal mini-statue of Ironhide's robot mode. He has swivel points at the shoulders and head, and comes with a clear plastic movie-style Autobot sigil stand.

{{-}}

===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF-toy IronhideEnforcer.jpg|thumb|300px|Right colors, wrong <s>bot</s> toy.]]
*'''Enforcer Ironhide''' (Legends, 2009)

:Enforcer Ironhide is a [[redeco]] of 2008's [[Legends Class|Legends class]] [[Ironhide (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Ironhide]] in a more [[Ironhide (G1)|Generation 1-looking red]] colour scheme. As with all wave three Legends figures, the photo on the back of the figure's packaging shows a mistransformed robot mode, where his chest is not aligned properly.

{{-}}{{anchor|Straightaway}}
[[Image:ROTF-toy_IronhideSS.jpg|thumb|300px|Colours suck!]]
*'''Straightaway Shootout''' (Legends multi-pack, 2009)

:A redeco of 2008 Legends Ironhide featuring his regular colors, but using different color layouts and [[Paint operation|paint applications]]. He was only available in the [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] "[[Straightaway Shootout]]" 5-pack together with [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Straightaway|Mudflap]], [[Swerve (Movie)#Straightaway|Swerve]], [[Runamuck (ROTF)|Runamuck]] and [[Sparkcrusher]].

:In [[Canada]], the set was released as a Zellers exclusive.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Voyager Ironhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|No matter which mode he's in, Ironhide still outguns you.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile

: ''[[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|gimmicky]]) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The large cannon features screwdriving 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.

: A packaging variant determines whether the missile is loaded or unloaded in the box.

{{-}}{{anchor|Recon}}
[[Image:ROTFtoy-JungleAttackIronhideVoyager.jpg|right|thumb|300px|John Rambot.]]
*'''Recon Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese 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 armoured 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.

:Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of 2007's Cannon Blast Ironhide figure. His colourscheme matches the mostly-red deco seen on the Legends class Enforcer Ironhide toy.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Transformers2010DeluxeIronhide.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Weapon pod

:A new-sculpt Deluxe-sized figure of Ironhide, with a surprisingly complex transformation and an almost ridiculously [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] (and surprisingly stable) robot mode. His smokestacks are of the long variety.

:The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the [[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 them 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. In one more undocumented feature, you can swivel his arm kibble around and use his smokestacks as guns. Interestingly, his hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide's or MechTech weapons.

{{picsneeded|Japanese version}}
:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this figure features a significant colouring 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.

:This [[Walmart]]-exclusive two-pack contains a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Recon Ironhide in blue with sand details painted on his vehicle mode and bits of Allspark blue on his cannons. He is packaged with a redeco of Deluxe-class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first movie and, as part of the "[[Hunt for the Decepticons]]" promotion, a "Most Wanted" collector's card featuring the Decepticon.

**''Accessories:'' 2 Cannons

: ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Commander Ironhide is a brand new mold, being much better in proportions and being more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] than his previous Legends-class figure. Unfortunately, the toy's attempt to accurately replicate Ironhide's angled hood-chest in robot mode has resulted in a ''very'' unsightly gap on the center of the hood in vehicle mode.

: His articulation has also improved significantly, as he's almost as articulated as his Deluxe-class figure. His arms don't swing out far enough in robot mode, although his upper arms can rotate and his elbows can bend in quite well to easily compensate for this.

: He comes with two cannons that can attach to the sides or top of his Topkick 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. He comes in a two-pack with a redecoed [[Leadfoot_(DOTM)|Leadfoot]].

: 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.

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Weapon pod

:This redeco of Deluxe class Ironhide is [[exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]]' Mission Earth: The Scan Series, to represent him [[Trans-scan|trans-scanning]] 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.

*'''Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA04'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon

:''[[Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is an all-new mold that is smaller, but more accurate, than previous Voyager class Ironhide toys.

: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 [[5mm post]] MechTech ports on either side and on top of Ironhide's vehicle mode, as well as being held in his fists or mounted under his forearms via MechTech ports 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]] 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.

:This new mold also addresses the stability issues of previous Voyager Ironhides by giving his feet [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ankles and having the soles of his feet be more textured and rough, allowing it to stand up better. Unfortunately, the latter change results in unsightly gaps on the truck bed in vehicle mode. Oh well.

:The [[stock photo]] on the right 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''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon
: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. His deco consists of the upper half of his vehicle being 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.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:DOTM-Leader-Class-Ironhide.jpg|thumb|300px|Oh for god's sake, it's where you left it, 'hide.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Mechtech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''DA16'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile

:This version of Ironhide is his first [[Size class|Leader Class]] toy and features 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.

: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.

: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 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 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 arm cannons aren't actually MechTech weapons in the sense that they are removable weapons that can be given to other characters.

Ironhide is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". His name is also spelled out, across his feet in this mode.

: This mold was also used to create the lunchables figure for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], though with the Decepticon symbol sculpted in instead of the Autobot one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

*'''GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide Edition''' (2007)

:As reported at [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 will retain its stock orange running lights (the movie 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.

Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity

2012-02-06T01:57:54Z

Wwelord: /* Armada cartoon */

{{suite}}
He's big, he's brave, he's a red and blue truck, and he's the star of three massively overlong Japanese cartoons in which he never ''does'' much but is always around, so you can bet '''[[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]''' needs his own page for his escapades in the [[Unicron Trilogy cartoon timeline|Unicron Trilogy cartoon continuity]]!
{{TOCclear}}

==''Armada'' cartoon==
:''Voice actor:'' [[Garry Chalk]] (English), [[Tōru Ōkawa]] (Japanese), [[Luis Miguel Perez]] (Latin America), [[Guilherme Briggs]] (Portuguese), [[Pierre-Peters Arnold]] (German), [[Niclas Ekholm]] (Swedish) [[Dariusz Odija]] (Polish)

[[Image:FirstEncounter_Prime.jpg|left|180px|thumb|He's part Optimus Prime, part [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], part [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] and all Optimus Prime.]]

[[MYA|Millions of years ago]], a young Optimus Prime fought with a great Decepticon warrior known as [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]]. So frequent were their clashes, and so familiar were they to each other, the pair eventually became friends, and Scavenger signed up with the Autobots. Seeing great potential in the young [[Autobot]], Scavenger taught Optimus Prime how to fight in hand-to-hand combat. {{storylink|Trust (Armada)|Trust}} Ascending to the position of Autobot leadership, Optimus led his armies against the [[Decepticon]]s in the war for the [[Mini-Con]]s, until the small robots expressed a desire to leave the planet, hoping they could take the war with them. Optimus and the Autobots helped the Mini-Cons escape Cybertron aboard [[Exodus|a spaceship]], but the war on Cybertron raged on even without them. {{storylink|Prehistory}}

[[Image:Base optimus brofist.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]

A million years later, in the year 2010, a beacon from the planet [[Earth]] alerted the Transformers on Cybertron to the fact that the Mini-Cons had reawakened there. {{storylink|First Encounter}} Optimus Prime led a small Autobot unit consisting of [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] (specifically chosen for the mission by Prime due to the recent loss of his friend [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]] {{storylink|Past II}}) and [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] to the planet, leaving his [[second-in-command]] [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] in charge of the Autobot forces on Cybertron. {{storylink|Prehistory}} Prime departed for Earth via [[space bridge]], appearing on the planet only moments behind his arch-foe, Decepticon leader [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|First Encounter}} Optimus immediately engaged Megatron in batle, buying time for the villain's three human targets—[[Rad White]], [[Carlos Lopez]], and [[Alexis Thi Dang]]—and the Mini-Con they had befriended, [[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]], to escape. Megatron and Optimus's troops proceeded to warp in to join the battle, but the Decepticons soon retreated, and both sides were left to set up bases and scan alternate modes in order to begin their search for Mini-Cons. The three children, now having awakened the entire [[Street Action Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Street Action Mini-Con Team]], were the Decepticons' first targets, but Optimus and the Autobots came to their rescue again. {{storylink|Metamorphosis}} Optimus used his Super Mode's firepower to see the Decepticons off, and brought the children back to the Autobots' base to explain the history of the Transformers and their mission on Earth. {{storylink|Base}}

[[Image:Comrade optimus and sparkplug.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Bumblebee?]]

Soon afterward, a Mini-Con activation signal drew the Autobots and Decepticons to the [[Grand Canyon]], where Prime found himself outmatched by Megatron thanks to the additional power of the Decepticon's Mini-Con partner. Thanks to an intervention from the Street Action Team in their combined form of [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]], Optimus was able to activate the Mini-Con panel, revealing that its occupant was his old Mini-Con partner and friend, [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]]. Powerlinked together, they activated Optimus's powerful Maximum Blast which sent the Decepticons into retreat. {{storylink|Comrade}} The Autobots' next mission took them to [[Antarctica]], though they suffered a bit of a false start when Prime's drive system failed upon arrival, and he needed Red Alert to repair it. As the Autobots then split up to search for the Mini-Con, Optimus was absent for most of the battle with the Decepticons that erupted, but his late arrival into the fray tipped the scales in the Autobots' favor. {{storylink|Soldier (episode)|Soldier}}

[[Image:Comrade optimus supermode.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]

Unable to haul his trailer through the forest that was the hiding place of the next Mini-Con panel, Optimus left it in the care of Sparkplug while he and the other Autobots began their search. Unsurprisingly, the Decepticons soon turned up and set the forest aflame, leaving the Autobots unable to fire back due to Optimus's concern that they would damage the environment. The kids and Mini-Cons were able to extinguish the forest fire by hooking Optimus's trailer up to a nearby lake, and although the Autobots failed to keep the Mini-Con out of Decepticon hands, Optimus assured them all that they had done the right thing. {{storylink|Jungle}} Sadly, the Autobots' next battle, in the [[Sahara]] desert, also ended in failure. {{storylink|Palace}}

A different challenge would face Optimus when Rad and Carlos' schoolyard antagonists [[Billy (Armada)|Billy]] and [[Fred (Armada)|Fred]] were kidnapped by the Decepticons and ransomed for all the Autobots' Mini-Cons. Optimus was forced to agree to the exchange, and although Megatron reneged on the deal, Hot Shot managed to win the day by freeing the kids. With their cover blown, Optimus and the Autobots accepted Billy and Fred into their circle of human friends. {{storylink|Confrontation (episode)|Confrontation}} [[Image:Underground optimus truckmode.jpg|left|thumb|250px]] It was then back to Mini-Con hunting, this time in the subway tunnels of a large city, whose maze-like construction confused Optimus and nearly led him into a head-on collision with a speeding train. Optimus's team once again lost the Mini-Con to the Decepticons, but they gained a new team member: [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]], who had gotten lost during the space bridge transit to Earth, and who protected the kids from [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]]. {{storylink|Underground}} Next, Optimus carried the kids inside his watertight cabin when the Autobots headed into the ocean depths on the quest for a Mini-Con lost in the ruins of an ancient [[Atlantis]]-like civilization. When the Decepticons attacked, a blast from Megatron ruptured Prime's seal, but he was able to get the kids to safety inside the ruins before returning to the fight. Prime and Megatron's battle proceeded to carry inside the ruins, into the chamber containing the Mini-Cons, where once again, the Decepticons emerged victorious and escaped with the panel. {{storylink|Ruin}}

After telling Rad a more detailed account of the history of the Transformers' war, Optimus led the Autobots to a volcanic island in search of their next Mini-Con, using his trailer's firepower to fend off the Decepticons as he headed into a narrow tunnel to recover the panel. A sudden volcanic eruption opened a fissure beneath the Autobot leader's feet, but this allowed him to avoid the lava flow that covered the island's surface and get the drop of the Decepticons, allowing the Autobots to at last claim another Mini-Con for themselves. {{storylink|Prehistory}} As with one of the other panels they had recovered, however, this Mini-Con would not awaken because it was part of a set of three. The Decepticons were in possession of the third panel, and soon invaded the Autobot base to complete their collection. Forced to order a shut down of the internal defense lasers to protect their human allies, Optimus gathered up the panels in his hands and tired to get them to safety, only for Megatron to catch up to him, awakening and combining the Mini-Cons into the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] sword. Optimus was able to blast the blade from Megatron's hands, and Hot Shot used it to beat the Decepticons into retreat. {{storylink|Swoop (episode)|Swoop}}

[[Image:Conspiracy-Welcome back.jpg|left|250px|thumb|]]

When Optimus's old tutor Scavenger arrived on Earth, it was not a happy reunion: his friend had now taken on a new life as a mercenary, and was now selling his serves to the Decepticons. {{storylink|Overmatch}} The Autobots also soon gained a new member in [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]], who helped Optimus's team recover the Mini-Con [[Spiral]] in a highway battle. {{storylink|Gale}} Unfortunately, appearances were deceiving: while Optimus and Smokescreen were searching for a Mini-Con during the next battle, Hot Shot and Sideways were inadvertently warped away to the Decepticons' moonbase, where Sideways revealed himself to be a traitor and stole the Star Saber for the Decepticons. {{storylink|Credulous}} Fortunately, the next battle proved that Scavenger's alleged Decepticon alliance was also a ruse: Optimus had actually been employing him as a spy within the Decepticon ranks, and as that mission had now come to an end, Optimus welcomed him back into the Autobot fold. {{storylink|Conspiracy}} Prime's trust did not immediately assuage the misgivings of the other Autobots, but Scavenger soon proved himself to them on the battlefield when he saved Prime from plummeting into a chasm during the Autobots' next Mini-Con hunt. {{storylink|Trust (Armada)|Trust}}

[[Image:DecisiveBattle_optimus_skyboom.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]

When the Autobots went on vacation to a lake only to be caught up in a flood, Optimus Prime helped saved some human lives by blocking the flow of water with his body. {{storylink|Vacation}} Soon after welcoming the antisocial Blurr to the team, {{storylink|Reinforcement}} Optimus was challenged to a pitched battle in the desert by Megatron, now wielding both the Star Saber and the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]]. Though helplessly outmatched by the power the Mini-Con weapons conveyed on his eternal enemy, Optimus fought bravely, and was able to use a distraction to disarm Megatron of the Skyboom, but was then nearly run through by the enraged Decepticon leader. At the last moment, Sparkplug threw himself between the combatants and summoned the Skyboom to protect Prime; when shield and sword collided, an incredible reaction resulted, producing a beam of light that shot off into space. With the shield in Autobot hands, the Decepticons retreated. {{storylink|Decisive Battle}}

[[Image:Vow optimus vs minicons.jpg|left|thumb|250px]]

Prime barred the kids from the Autobot base while he concocted a strategy that would allow the team to use the Skyboom against the Decepticons, but his plans were pre-empted when the Decepticons lured the Autobots into a trap, splitting them up by warping them individually to different locations of past battles. In the Sahara once more, Optimus was confronted by Megatron and a small legion of Mini-Cons; chastened by Rad's warnings, Optimus was unwilling to fire back at the attacking Mini-Cons, and this act of restraint was enough to convince the Mini-Cons to turn on Megatron. {{storylink|Vow}} It was not long before Prime and Megatron met in battle again, though the outcome of that particular clash went undocumented. {{storylink|Rebellion}}

The sudden deactivation of [[Laserbeak (Armada)|Laserbeak]] prompted Optimus to break off a battle to return to base and discover what had happened to the kids. Discovering that they had been sucked into cyberspace by Sideways, the Autobots safely extricated them, but their tale of an encounter with another evil force within the cyber-realm deeply perturbed Optimus. {{storylink|Chase (episode)|Chase}}
[[Image: Linkup jet prime.jpg|right|thumb]]
After Optimus used the Skyboom to help secure another Autobot victory, the Decepticons' new tactician [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] put together a plan to lure the Autobots into a valley, separating Prime from the group and wiping him out. The scheme would have succeeded, if not for the sudden arrival of Jetfire on Earth, who foiled Thrust's plans. {{storylink|Tactician}} Jetfire took over leadership of the Autobots while Optimus's injuries were being repaired, but his cocksure attitude soon saw him lured into another of Thrust's traps. In defiance of his wounds, Prime warped into the battlefield, where he and Jetfire [[Powerlinx|powerlinked]] to form "Jet Prime" and sent the Decepticons packing. {{storylink|Linkup}}

A rare moment of downtime was used by the Autobots to begin repairs on their base, though Optimus was no better at the task than Hot Shot was. {{storylink|Detection}} Soon after, during a battle at a shoreline, the Autobots had a new menace to face when the Decepticons were joined by the monolithic [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]], against whose power not even Jet Optimus could stand. {{storylink|Awakening}} Forcibly separated from Jetfire during the battle, Optimus was sent plummeting to the ground at deadly velocity, was but saved by the timely awakening of the three Mini-Cons who formed the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]]. Wrestling the blaster away from Thrust, Prime saved himself by firing its beam into the ocean below, slowing his descent. {{storylink|Desperate}} [[Image:Sacrifice.jpg|left|thumb|250px]] The three new Mini-Cons reluctance to fight made Prime hesitant to employ them in any further combat situations, but he soon had the choice taken out of his hands when the kids helped the Mini-Cons run away. Prime hit the road to look for them, and when he found they had become targeted by Thrust, used his Super Mode to scare the Decepticon off. {{storylink|Runaway}}

When the Autobot greenhorn [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] arrived on Earth, Optimus charged a discontented Hot Shot with supervising him. {{storylink|Past}} Unfortunately, the extra manpower did not prevent the Autobots from falling into a Decepticon trap: lured into a battle with [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] in a jungle, Optimus and his team were unable to prevent their enemies from attacking their base and stealing the Requiem Blaster. Smokescreen was fatally wounded by the blaster and died with Optimus at his side, {{storylink|Sacrifice}} but fortunately, his Spark survived, and he was rebuilt as "Hoist". Simultaneously, Starscream arrived at the Autobot base, having abandoned the Decepticons, and petitioned Prime for a place among the Autobots. A display of genuine comradeship from the Star Saber Mini-Cons prompted Prime to agree. {{storylink|Regeneration}}

[[Image:Crisis prime matrix.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]

Using Starscream's information, Prime led the Autobots in invading the Decepticon moonbase and rescuing all the captive Mini-Cons, but he and Starscream clashed briefly when the ex-Decepticon temporarily refused to obey his order to withdraw. {{storylink|Rescue}} Prime agreed with Jetfire's decision to detain Starscream when his insubordination continued on a mission to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], {{storylink|Mars (episode)|Mars}} but continued to look upon their alliance as a means of better understanding the differences between Autobot and Decepticon, encouraging Hot Shot to do the same. Alas, the manipulations of Thrust shattered the burgeoning trust, and Starscream stole the Skyboom Shield and returned to the Deceptions.{{storylink|Crack (episode)|Crack}}

[[Image:Crisis prime dies.jpg|left|thumb|250px]]

With all three Mini-Con weapons now in Decepticon hands, the villains united them to create the [[Hydra Cannon]]. {{storylink|Threaten}} Preparing a pre-emptive strike to destroy the Decepticons' warship before the cannon could be turned upon the Earth, Optimus, featuring he would not survive, attempting to pass the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to Hot Shot, but the young Autobot refused. Accepting his decision, Optimus departed on the mission with Jetfire, but the two found themselves badly outnumbered, and Optimus's only option was to hurl himself in the path of the cannon's planet-destroying beam. Using the power of the Matrix, Optimus halted the beam and saved the Earth, but at the cost of his own life: as the beam died out, his bleached body crumbled away to space dust. {{storylink|Crisis}}

[[Image:Puppet optimus overload.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]

Accepting now the role Optimus had tried to pass on to him, Hot Shot led the Autobot in into space in pursuit of the Decepticons aboard the [[Axalon (Armada)|Axalon]], now joined by all the Mini-Cons of Earth, their powers fully awakened. During a confrontation with their enemies, the Mini-Cons united their powers to resurrect Optimus from within the Matrix, and the reborn Autobot leader used all the power of his Super Mode to end the battle. {{storylink|Miracle}} No sooner had the Autobots welcomed their leader back than their ship was pulled through a black hole to a dead planet, where they were menaced by a twisted clone of Optimus named [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]]. Prime ended his dark doppleganger's threat with the added firepower of his new weapons system, [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]]. {{storylink|Puppet}}

The Decepticons proceeded to beat the Autobots back to Cybertron, but this was the least of Optimus Prime's worries: learning from the Mini-Cons of the existence of an ancient evil named [[Unicron]], Prime attempted to convince Megatron—now upgraded to Galvatron through the power of the Mini-Cons—of the necessity of an alliance, to no avail. {{storylink|Uprising}} While Prime was left to co-ordinate the Autobot resistance as best he could {{storylink|Dash (episode)|Dash}}, Thrust and Sideways stole the Requiem Blaster and Skyboom Shield, {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}} using them to begin the reawakening of Unicron, who was revealed to be Cybertron's own moon. {{storylink|Portent}}

[[Image:Alliance handshake.jpg|left|thumb|250px]]

Having experienced Prime's leadership first-hand, Starscream realized that an alliance was the only way forward, and so threw himself into the middle of a battle between Prime and Galvatron and sacrificed himself to convince Galvatron of the reality of Unicron's threat. Swayed by his lieutenant's death, Galvatron moved to hand the Star Saber over to Prime, only for Sideways to snatch it away at the last second, using it to complete Unicron's reactivation. {{storylink|Cramp}} In a formal ceremony before all their troops, Prime and Galvatron shook hands, uniting the Autobots and Decepticons into an armada that struck at Unicron together. {{storylink|Alliance}}

Their forces unable to damage the dark god's exterior, Optimus Prime and Galvatron decided to venture inside his body, where they immediately came under attack by his internal defenses. {{storylink|Union}} Working their way to the chamber containing Unicron's "heart", they were were captured by the chaos-bringer, and offered the chance to merge with him willingly. Optimus's refusal prompted Unicron to accuse him of lying to himself, telling him that he had always loved the thrill of war as much as Galvatron, and that the only thing that distinguished them was the Matrix in Prime's chest. [[Image:MortalCombat powerlinx colors prime.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]] Before Unicron could forcibly merge Prime with him, the kids intervened, freeing the Mini-Con weapons from Unicron's hold and de-powering him, creating a wave of energy that [[spontaneous recoloration|spontaneously changed the color]] of Prime's armor. As they all tried to escape Unicron's dormant body, however, Galvatron challenged Optimus Prime to one final duel. {{storylink|Origin}} Prime agreed, discarding the Matrix so that he could prove Unicron's analysis of him wrong, but as the fight raged, both combatants succumbed to their base natures, fighting the most ferocious clash of their history. The negative energy of their battle reawoke Unicron, and he began to draw everything nearby into his maw. Prime held tight to Galvatron, trying to save his life, but Galvatron was unwilling to live in a world where peace was the only option, and forced himself free of Prime's grip. Galvatron disappeared into Unicron, and with their battle concluded, the flow of negative energy ceased, causing Unicron to vanish in a flash of light.

In the battle's aftermath, the Matrix of Leadership floated by Prime in space, but, feeling that he had only proven Unicron correct, Prime considered himself unworthy of carrying it. While the other Autobots and Decepticons, still united, set about rebuilding, Prime, his armor returned to its normal hue, embarked on a soul-searching voyage through space. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

[[Image:EnergonOptimusForms.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Me, myself, and I... and ''me'']]
8,000 eons ago, Optimus Prime stayed on Cybertron to continue its defense, even as Rodimus led a group of Transformers away from the planet, into space, in search of a new home. {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}}

A few years after the defeat of Unicron, Optimus Prime returned from his self-imposed exile to a newly-unified Cybertron where Autobots and Decepticons lived side-by-side in peace. Reassuming leadership of the Autobots, Prime took on a new body and established a dialogue with Earth's governments with the help of his human friends. [[Brian Jones (Energon)|Doctor Brian Jones]] came to Cybertron to meet with Prime and discuss potential new energy endeavours the two races could work together on, but his son [[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] was frightened by the robots and ran away. Prime followed the boy to an abandoned part of Cybertron, and discovered him in the chamber of the reawakened [[Primus]], the creator-god of the Transformers, who endowed Kicker with the ability to sense [[Energon]]. Using Kicker's powers to detect Energon deposits, the united Autobot-Decepticon-human federation set up numerous [[Cybertron City (city)|Cybertron Cities]] in Earth's [[solar system]] over the next few years to mine the mineral. Sometime after this, Primus bestowed upon Optimus the [[Spark of Combination]], giving him the ability to combine with his new drone vehicles, the [[Prime Force]]. Prime began personally training new Autobot recruits, including the hotheaded young [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]].

In 2020, Optimus Prime personally led a team to investigate attacks on the Cybertron Cities in the [[asteroid belt]] and on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]. Finding no life remaining on Mars, his unit then moved to Earth, where Prime saved Kicker and [[Ocean City]] from an attack by the culprits, the bestial [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]], who had been sent to steal the cities' Energon by their master [[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]] so that he could revive Unicron. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}} Fearing future attacks, Prime agreed to the evacuation of Ocean City, then led a counterattack against the Terrorcons when they assaulted [[Lunar City]] on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. Before the battle, he assigned the headstrong Kicker to be partners with Ironhide, suspecting that the experience would be difficult but beneficial for both of them. {{storylink|Energon Stars}}

As attacks on Earth continued, Prime led the Autobots in battling the Terrorcons at [[Desert City]], but he was dismayed to find that the Decepticon troops under his command had begun to abandon the cause of unity, having been promised the resurrection of Megatron in return for their service. {{storylink|Scorpinok}} A second attack on Mars City forced Prime to make a difficult call, leaving the Autobots there to fight alone out of fear that the Earth would be attacked if his team left to help. His suspicion was proven correct when the Terrorcons besieged [[Plains City]]; during the battle, Prime discovered that the Terrorcon leader [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] was wielding a [[Energon Sword|sword]] that was pulsing with the evil essence of Megatron, leading him to fear that his old enemy was indeed still alive. {{storylink|Megatron's Sword}}

[[Image:Raidsword.jpg|250px|thumb|left|]]

With Terrorcon attacks continuing, Optimus had his Prime Force drones upgraded by Doctor Jones. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}} This upgrade proved timely, as it was not long before Optimus again found himself face-to-face with Megatron, reborn through the power of Energon. {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} In a subsequent battle at Ocean City, the two threw down with all their power, but Optimus was able to emerge triumphant when the [[Omnicon]]s provided him with a copy of Megatron's sword. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} Megatron was also not the only old foe to return: Optimus soon found himself stalked by the ghostly Starscream, sent to assassinate him by Alpha Q. To prevent interference or collateral damage, Prime lured Starscream to the moon, and in the battle that followed, he learned of Starscream's master's plan to revive Unicron. Badly wounded by Starscream, Prime was knocked unconscious, but an infusion of Energon from [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] revived him ''and interacted with the Matrix of Leadership, generating a [[Energon Blaster|powerful blaster]]'' that Prime used to drive off his opponent. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}}

On edge and battle-ready after the assassination attempt, Prime was quick to lead his team into the asteroid belt when he suspected the Decepticons were operating from a mobile base there. Though the Autobots' destroyed the base, its similarity to Unicron only worried Prime more. {{storylink|Battle of the Asteroid Belt}} The need for Prime and the Autobots to leave the Earth and investigate the potential return of Unicron fortunately coincided with Doctor Jones's development of [[Energon Tower]]s, which could project a grid of Energon that would protect Earth in the Autobots' absence. {{storylink|Energon Tower}} Constructing the towers was not the easiest task: during the endeavour, Optimus Prime was forced to order a detonation that wiped out Jungle City and some ancient archaeological ruins to fend off the attacking Decepticons, {{storylink|Crisis in Jungle City}} battled Megatron once again at Lunar City, {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}} and led a space-based defense against several giant "comets" that Megatron had created to destroy Earth, which was ultimately saved by the final completion of the Energon grid. {{storylink|Energon Grid}}

With Earth secure, Optimus and his team departed Earth, to pursue and destroy Unicron before Megatron could revive the planet-eater. {{storylink|Rodimus Friend or Foe?}} A Decepticon attacked failed to stop them from leaving Earth's [[solar system]] aboard the ''[[Miranda II]]'', though Prime only narrowly narrowly avoided getting caught by the ship's Energon grid during the fight. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}} Hoping to find Unicron by using Kicker's Energon-finding abilities, Prime's team was first lead into a misadventure on a frozen planet, {{storylink|The Return of Demolishor}} and soon after crossed paths with Rodimus, who shocked Optimus with his declaration that Unicron must not be destroyed, but rather restored! Unconvinced by Rodimus's claims that Alpha Q wanted to use Unicron and Energon to create all the plane-eater has destroyed, Optimus turned down the offer of an alliance, and Rodimus went his own way. {{storylink|A Tale of Two Heros}} Unfortunately, this meant Prime's Autobots arrived to late to stop Megatron from reactivating Unicron, and Optimus was forced to carry out his plan to lure Unicron into the space bridge, telporting him to Cybertron, where the planet's Energon grid massively damaged him. {{storylink|Battle Stations}}

Unicron's appearance caused the Decepticons on Cybertron to rampage, so Prime led a team to the planet's surface {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} where they failed to stop the escape of the Decepticon criminal [[Shockblast]]. Greater concerns soon emerged when Rodimus returned, and his and Optimus's dispute escalated into a battle between the two until Kicker talked them down and convinced Prime to hear Alpha Q out. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}} Moved by Alpha Q's tale of his lost home planet, Prime agreed to his plan, though his concerns at the danger Unicron still posed were quickly proven to not be without merit as the chaos-bringer began reflexively attacking everything within his body in what Optimus recognize as blind survival instinct. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}}

[[Image:Optimusprimewingsaber.jpg|250px|thumb|right|]]

Prime returned to Cybertron's surface to lead the planet's defense as Megatron attacked again, and was present to witness prison guard Wing Dagger's death at the hands of Shockblast. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}} Prime subsequently led his team in a direct counter-attack against Unicron, seeking to infiltrate it and defeat Megatron inside. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} Prime was fully prepared to face down his enemy in a one-on-one showdown, but instead was ambushed by a vengeful Shockblast and left damaged. Alone and facing two Decepticons, he was revived and saved by the arrival of an Energon infusion from Earth. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} Soon after, Wing Dagger arrived, now rebuilt as [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] by Primus and infused with the Spark of Combination, allowing him to combine with Prime and give him the power needed to end the battle. Rather than face defeat, Megatron triggered a catastrophic Energon reaction, ripping [[Rift (Energon)|a hole in the fabric of space]] and fleeing into it. Optimus gamely led a team in pursuit of him. {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}

On the other side of the rift, Optimus and the Autobots found [[Alpha Q's Realm|Alpha Q's solar system]] being reborn as recreations of his original homeworlds slowly grew through the power of Energon, radiating from the sun which Unicron's disembodied head had become. The battle to protect these Energon-rich worlds from Decepticon attacks started immediately; when Kicker and Ironhide went to investigate [[Iron Planet]] after sensing Energon there, Optimus's team went to search after them, only to run into Shockblast. Optimus let Wing Saber loose to avenge the death of [[Padlock (Energon)|Padlock]], resulting in Shockblast's recapture. Scorponok, found and brainwashed by Megatron, then led a Terrorcon assault which Optimus' team repulsed. {{storylink|Protection}} Soon after, when Inferno was captured by the Decepticons, Optimus was kept busy by Mirage and arrived too late to stop Megatron from infusing Inferno with Decepticon programming. {{storylink|Imprisoned Inferno}}

Optimus and his team were investigating the rift when the Decepticons attacked [[Jungle Planet (Energon)|Jungle Planet]], were forced into a space battle that kept them from stopping the Terrorcons' pillaging. The fortunate arrival of [[Bulkhead (Energon)|Bulkhead]], [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]], and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] allowed Optimus, combined with Wing Saber, to break away and make it into the planet's atmosphere; although they were met with a relentless bombardment from Megatron, Optimus was able to blow him out of the sky and teach him a lesson about how the Autobots' teamwork granted them greater power. {{storylink|Jungle Planet (episode)|Jungle Planet}} Realizing that if Bulkhead's team could make it through the rift, other object could too, Optimus sent Hot Shot and Downshift to obtain Energon Towers from Doctor Jones that they could use to protect Alpha Q's planets. The towers arrived to late to save Iron Planet, but Optimus led a successful holding action on Jungle Planet, giving the Autobots enough time to establish a new tower there. {{storylink|Bulkhead (episode)|Bulkhead}} More towers were steadily established on the various planets; while setting up a tower on [[Ocean Planet]], Optimus wielded the [[Energon Saber]] in battle against Megatron, but it took Inferno sacrificing his own life to successfully complete the mission. {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}} ''After ordering Jetfire to take Inferno's still-living [[spark]] back to Primus on Cybertron, Prime aided in the defense of the newly-recreated [[Planet Q]].'' {{storylink|Return! Our Scorponok}}

Prime was initially surprised to find his troops had halted their duties for a little R&R on [[Circuit Planet]], but when he learned that Rodimus had signed off on it, he decided to join the "[[Autobot Grand Prix]]" himself. Combined with Wing Saber, Optimus threw himself into the race as the final obstacle on the track, and proved enough of challenge to front-runners Hot Shot and Ironhide that [[Misha Miramond]], riding [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], snuck past to steal the win. {{storylink|Crash Course}}

[[Image:itsover.jpg|250px|thumb|left|]]

Contacted by Doctor Jones with news of the awakening of the legendary warrior [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]], Optimus Prime requested requested more Energon Towers be sent in preparation for Megatron's inevitable reawakening of Unicron. Omega Supreme and [[Roadblock (Energon)|Roadblock]], the reborn Inferno, arrived with Energon Towers just as this occurred and hurled them at Unicron, but only caused minor damage. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} With the Energon grid no match for Unicron's power, Prime, Rodimus and Wind Saber attempted to enter the chaos-bringer's body in order to stop him from recovering his head, but Prime was badly damaged in the attempt. As Unicron successfully extinguished the Energon sun and reclaimed his head, Omega Supreme revealed that he had the power to combine with Optimus as "Optimus Supreme". {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}} In this new form, Optimus headed up a renewed offensive against the restored Unicron, but found himself faced with a new oppoenent in the form of the maddened Shockblast, who had attempted to usurp Unicron's power from Megatron had been driven insane. Optimus Supreme battled Shockblast on [[Blizzard Planet]] and managed to bring him back to sanity, but Shockblast was then promptly destroyed by the Megatron-controlled Unicron. {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} Unicron proceeded to destroy Blizzard Planet and Circuit Planet, with Optimus powerless to stop him. Battle raged until Optimus was the only Autobot left standing, at which point a beam of Energon sent through space by Primus restored and upgraded his wounded troops and enlarged Optimus to planetary proportions, as large as Unicron himself. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} Facing off against Unicron on a vast disk of Energon in space created by the beam, Optimus drew on the power of Primus and the strength in his spark stemming from the courage of his friends and unleashed his "Final Impact" attack, a massive laser barrage that blew Unicron to pieces, finally destroying the god's corporeal form. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}

With the remaining Decepticons arrested and Cybertron back in Autobot control, Optimus was placed in an Energon tank to heal. While slumbering, Prime had a vision of a [[Super Energon Temple]] beneath Cybertron's surface, and awoke to find the planet besieged by Megatron and the Terrorcons. {{storylink|Ambition}} While Optimus and his team battled on the surface, Megatron was guided by Unicron, whose intelligence still lived within him, to the subterranean temple and upgraded into Galvatron once more by the power of the [[Super Energon]]. He and a similarly upgraded Starscream began destroying Energon towers, unleashing green Energon gas, toxic to Autobots. While trying to save Kicker from the gas, Optimus collapsed, though he would be saved by Jetfire and repaired by the unlucky guardian of the Super Energon pool, [[Superion Maximus]], who asked to join the team. {{storylink|Wishes}} The Autobots withdrew to the ''Miranda II'' in orbit, but the ship was soon shot down by the Decepticons' newest recruit, Shockblast's brother [[Six Shot]], who believe Optimus Prime was responsible for killing his sibling and sought revenge. Optimus and Cliffjumper tried to steer the ship into a controlled crash, but when that failed the two were rescued by Omega Supreme and Superion Maximus. {{storylink|Galvatron!}} Soon after, Optimus's crew were able to return to Cybertron's surface when a team of Energon-immune Omnicons shut down the Energon gas. Another battle between Prime and Galvatron was soon to erupt, prematurely ending when Six Shot released more Energon gas on them all. The Autobots fled, meeting up with the underground resistance. {{storylink|Break Through}}

At some point, the Autobots played a training simulation game which pit them against each other and Decepticons in a fighting tournament. Though Optimus and Wing Saber lost to Rodimus and Hot Shot, Optimus and Omega Supreme easily defeated the Decepticon combiners. In the final round, Optimus again faced off against Rodimus and Hot Shot-but following a flashy combination sequence with Omega Supreme that ended in the two landing outside the ring, they were immediately disqualified. {{storylink|Distribution}}

[[Image:Primemeteorattackmode.jpg|250px|thumb|right|]]

Optimus and Superion Maximus kept [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]] and [[Constructicon Maximus]] busy in battle while two separate Autobot teams rescued their allies around the planet. Six Shot tried to take another shot at Optimus with the Energon grid but was beaten by Galvatron for insubordination, allowing Prime and Superion to escape. {{storylink|The Omega Train}} In a later battle, Six Shot finally succeeded in taking Prime down with the Energon Grid, but Superion came to his rescue before the Decepticons could capture him. {{storylink|Decepticon Army}} Continuing to evade the Maximus combiners, Terrorcons and Energon gas all the way, Optimus's team made it back to the surface and faced off with Galvatron's Decepticons just as Ironhide's team suceeded in re-energizing Primus, in turn restoring Prime's ability to combine with Omega Supreme. Linking up, the pair used a whirlwind attack to clear the battlefield of Decepticons. {{storylink|Ironhide Team}}

[[Image:Giantoptimus.jpg|250px|thumb|left|]]

Transported via space bridge into Alpha Q's realm by the Decepticons, the gas-enshrouded Cybertron began moving through the system, destroying the planets there by bringing its atmosphere into contact with theirs. Calling on Primus to help him, Optimus Prime was enveloped in light that once again transformed him into a planetary-scale giant, allowing him to stop Cybertron's forward motion with his bare hands. This task accomplished, however, it became apparent that Prime was powered not just by Primus, but by the dark power of Unicron that existed within all Transformers, as he began to strike at the planet. Rodimus was able to snap Optimus out his frenzy, and he returned to normal size. {{storylink|Formidable}}

[[Image:Energon-Colossal-Cel-Optimus-VS-Galvatron.jpg|250px|thumb|right|]]

After an Energon recharge on Ocean Planet, {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}} Optimus returned to Cybertron just in time to witness Galvatron growing to gargantuan proportions following a second exposure to Super Energon. With Primus asleep once more after Prime's most recent growth spurt, Omega Supreme believed they would be unable to combine, but Optimus now knew he had another power source to draw upon: The power of Unicron. Drawing on the dark god's strength, Optimus and Omega Supreme combined and began attacking the gigantic Galvatron to little effect. {{storylink|Destructive Power}} Galvatron departed for space and Optimus gave chase, drawing on Unicron's power even more to transform himself into a giant so he could battle Galvatron on equal footing. The two titans brawled on the surface of Jungle Planet, but as the fight raged on, Optimus began to fall prey to the violent impulses the power of Unicron caused. Luckily, he was able to shake off the effects long enough to taunt Galvatron into such a fury that he too became enraged enough to break free of Unicron's influence. Themselves once again, the two leaders unveiled new heights of their powers, growing even larger, with Optimus gaining the appearance of Optimus Supreme combined with the Prime Force drones. The two titanic leaders battled until Prime opened his Spark of Combination and absorbed from Unicron's essence out of Galvatron, returning them to their normal sizes. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}

[[Image:Energon-Optimus-Primus-VS-Galvicron.jpg|250px|thumb|left|]]

Nearly dead, Optimus's spark called out to the other Autobots, drawing them to Jungle Planet where they all combined their Sparks of Combination with his, restoring his power and giant stature. Following Omega Supreme across space, the re-powered Optimus arrived to find that Galvatron had become possessed by Unicron's spark and grown gigantic yet again. Optimus and Omega combined to form "Ultimate Optimus Supreme" and battled the Unicron-possessed Galvatron while Primus fashioned a new energon sun for Alpha Q's planets from the remaining Super Energon. Too proud to admit defeat, Galvatron broke out of Unicron's control and plunged himself into the energon sun, igniting it and seemingly destroying himself and Unicron. With Galvatron and Unicron's death, the Autobots delinked from Optimus, and Rodimus stated that things were finally over; Optimus replied that it was a new beginning of a new universe. {{storylink|The Sun}}

Primus' plan to trap Unicron inside an energon sun failed, and this star collapsed into a [[Unicron Singularity|massive black hole]]. Optimus Prime faced the greatest test in his existence when his home planet was threatened with destruction, but realised there was no choice but to evacuate the population to Earth. As they made plans to leave, a mysterious time-travelling Transformer named [[Vector Prime]] appeared, advising Optimus to search for the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, the only means of restoring Primus' spark, and the only way they can save Cybertron and the rest of the universe from oblivion. {{storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}}

Arriving on Earth, Optimus Prime was forced to break his own strict orders to hide from the human population when he rescued the injured [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] and three human children from [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]. Befriending the children, named [[Coby Hansen|Coby]], [[Bud Hansen|Bud]] and [[Lori]], he relied on them to educate the Autobots about their new home and how to blend into the environment as Robots in Disguise. {{storylink|Inferno (episode)|Inferno}} {{storylink|Hidden}}

Soon afterward, the children's hometown of Boulder, Colorado was threatened. The newest tunnels in a recently-dug gold mine had destabilized a mountain, making its collapse imminent. This alone would only have damaged the mountain's immediate area, but matters were complicated when Autobot scans revealed the presence of an underground reservoir that would be forced out by the collapse, causing flooding. Coby had the idea of using Optimus Prime's pumping equipment to drain the reservoir, allowing [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)|Scattorshot]] to shatter the mountain with his largest missiles and collapse it safely, averting disaster. {{storylink|Collapse}} He would later travel to the [[Sahara]] To uncover what they believed to be the Omega Lock, but was in fact a fake. {{storylink|Time}} He would later allow the civilian Autobots to help in the search for the Omega Lock. He would later battle under water in the Bermuda Triangle to keep Megatron from obtaining the Omega Lock. {{storylink|Deep}} He would also battle Megatron aboard the [[Atlantis|Starship Atlantis]] for possession of the [[Omega Lock]], and emerged victorious. {{storylink|Ship}} He later traveled to [[Velocitron]] to acquire the Cyber Planet Key said to be the Planet cup racing trophy, but learned he would only be able to get it if [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]] was beaten in a race. Despite Hot Shot having disobeyed Prime's orders to not get involved with the locals, Optimus ultimately agreed with him after confronting the stubborn Override that the only way to retrieve Velocitron's Cyber Planet Key would be by winning the Planet Cup. Though Hot Shot was clearly the only Autobot who could have a chance at winning, Optimus, Landmine, Red Alert, and the new friends [[Brakedown (Cybertron)|Brakedown]] and [[Clocker (Cybertron)|Clocker]] joined the race as well. {{storylink|Hero (episode)|Hero}}

Knowing that he had no real shot at winning, Optimus stayed in the background during the first round of the race, blocking the Decepticon duo of [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]] and [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]]. They managed to jump ahead in the race, however, when Ransack attached himself to Prime with a spring and flung himself to the front, followed by Crumplezone under cover of a smokescreen. When late in the race the two blew up a bridge, Prime turned himself into a ramp for Hot Shot by driving off the edge and unfolding his cannons. {{storylink|Race}} Out of the race, Optimus instead put his skills to good use in the second round by putting out a fire caused by Ransack and Crumplezone. {{storylink|Detour (episode)|Detour}}

[[Image:Savageclawmode.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]While Hot Shot trained for the third leg of the race, Red Alert relayed a message to Optimus - unknowingly sent by the sneaky Sideways - that claimed that [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Cybertron]] was in danger in his mission on [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]]. Primes Optimus and Vector set off to the beast world, where they were immediately assaulted by a giant, monstrous plant. Overhaul, having been reformatted as Leobreaker, arrived to save them, and [[Backstop (Cybertron)|Backstop]] and [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]] explained to the Cybertronians their friend's transformation. The dictatorial [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]] soon arrived, however, and demanded that Snarl be handed over for treason; Optimus refused and pleaded with Scourge to listen peacefully to his request for the Cyber Planet Key. When Megatron and his cronies arrived, Scourge proposed that the Autobots and Decepticons battle to determine if he would grant Prime's request or not. Optimus refused this, but when Snarl was carried away, Leobreaker jumped to his rescue, setting off a battle. Leobreaker's anger at Megatron tapped into the power of the Jungle Planet's key, and both he and Optimus were engulfed in a burst of energy. The two combined, as Leobreaker became a massive arm for Optimus in his Savage Claw Mode. Easily one-shotting Megatron, Optimus forced the Decepticons to flee. Impressed, Scourge decided to let Snarl go. {{storylink|Savage}}

Later, Sideways, who noticed Scourge's desire to fight Optimus, engineered a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons by sending fake signals to both sides. Realizing it was a trap, Leobreaker and Optimus again combined and quickly took out Scourge so that they could search for Sideways. Upon finding him, the Autobots interrogated their battle's engineer; Sideways tried to fool the Autobots into thinking he was an undercover spy researching Megatron's ambitions but escaped when Optimus became distracted by a call from Landmine informing him of the results of the third leg of the race on Velocitron. It was then that Optimus learned that Coby had snuck into the Autobot camp on the racing planet, and though surprised, he allowed the child's presence due to Hot Shot's request. {{storylink|Sand}}

With Coby's help, Hot Shot went on to win the Planet Cup. But when the trophy was to be given to him, Megatron attacked and attempted to steal it; unfortunately for him, Optimus, Leobreaker, and Vector Prime had followed him from Jungle Planet. Optimus and Leobreaker once again combined and took down Megatron, with Override saving the trophy and asking for permission to join the Autobots, which Optimus granted. {{storylink|Champion}}

Afterwards, Optimus, Leobreaker, and Vector Prime returned to Jungle Planet, where they quickly dispatched Ransack and Crumplezone and made their way to Scourge's temple. {{storylink|Ice}} Upon arrival, Optimus and Leobreaker combined to assume a respectable form before Scourge, but rather than fight asked for dialogue. Scourge refused, again telling them that to have an audience they would have to beat him in battle. Leobreaker disengaged from Prime and attacked but was easily beaten. He sulked for a time while Snarl confronted him about his actions, telling him the story of Scourge's past at the same time that Backstop told it to Optimus and Vector Prime. Leobreaker, realizing his foolishness, told Snarl of how Optimus once saved him when he was caught under rubble on a planetoid, and apologized to his leader. Optimus meanwhile finally decided to give in and act in accordance with Jungle Planet's customs and challenge Scourge to a duel. He sent Backstop to deliver the message. {{storylink|Honor}}

Optimus briefly returned to Earth to get tuned up by Red Alert, inviting Override while there to join them on Jungle Planet in case he needed another planetary leader to dialogue with Scourge. Override agreed and also petitioned for [[Lori]] to come along as an Earthen representative. Returning to Jungle Planet, the Autobots were ambushed by Starscream, Thundercracker, Ransack, and Crumplezone, who were sent by Megatron to halt the battle with Scourge. Instead, they were easily beaten, though this made the Autobots late for the duel, enraging Scourge. Lori tried to stop the fight by pleading with Scourge to work with the Autobots. Though startled by the human, Scourge ultimately refused anything but battle with Prime, even granting him the help of another Autobot to prove the pointlessness of teamwork. Optimus and Leobreaker combined and the battle began. Scourge quickly threw the Autobots off balance by damaging their combination joint and forcing a separation, but Prime and Leobreaker recombined on the opposite side, with Leobreaker as the left arm. The two leaders charged at and punched each other - Optimus was left standing as Scourge crumpled to his knees. But going against Scourge's expectations, Prime refused to kill him. Scourge handed over the cyber planet key, hidden in the form of the beast totem in his temple, as well as leadership of Jungle Planet, but while Optimus took the former he turned down the latter. {{storylink|Primal}}

Megatron's forces then attacked, hoping to snatch the key. To protect it, Optimus had the key placed in a box and the Autobots scattered about with multiple boxes, hoping to confuse the Decepticons. While the others fled, Prime put out a fire at the temple started by Thundercracker. He then was confronted by Megatron, who believed him to have the true box, only to find out that Prime's box was a ruse and that the real one was held by Leobreaker. Megatron scoffed at Prime's trust in his subordinates and chased after the beast warrior. Before Megatron could steal Leobreaker's box, however, Prime arrived and combined with him. The two bested Megatron but were cut down by Starscream, allowing Megatron to snatch the key. But before he could kill Prime, the Matrix interacted with the key to open a space bridge, transporting the rest of the Autobots to Jungle Planet guns ablaze. With Megatron pinned by laser fire, Optimus returned to battle and beat him once again, retaking the key as the Decepticons fled. Tired of all the newcomers, Scourge then ordered the Autobots off-planet, and they returned to Earth. {{storylink|Trust (Cybertron)|Trust}}

Once returned to their Earth base, the Autobots prepared to add the Jungle Planet's key to the Omega Lock. Optimus proposed that Snarl do the honors, but the Jungle Planet native suggested instead that Leobreaker might be more fitting. When the deed was done, the Autobots were suddenly engulfed in the light of Primus himself, and the light god spoke through Jolt to rely the message: "Protect the balance, until all are one." Alarms, however, soon alerted the Autobots to the presence of something important in the North Pole. Optimus, Jetfire, Leobreaker, and Landmine headed there and discovered the containment site of ancient Decepticon colonists lost on Earth, formerly protected by [[Crosswise (Cybertron)|Crosswise]]. But Starscream, who had trapped Megatron in an orb in outer space, suddenly appeared and defeated the three land-based Autobots, unleashing the Decepticons as his personal army and collapsing the icy tunnel in on the Autobots. {{storylink|Trap}} Jetfire struggled to free the others, but before he could use his cyber key power on the tunnel, his comrades arrived and stopped him, fearing Optimus and the others would be completely covered by the rubble. They got to work on breaking through the ice wall, finally rescuing Prime, Landmine, and Leobreaker. After recovering, they all headed out to take down Starscream, who had begun an invasion of Earth, seeking its cyber planet key. {{storylink|Invasion}}

[[Image:Primemissileblock.jpg|left|250px|thumb|]]When Coby suggested revealing their presence on Earth now that the Transformers were out in the open, Optimus rejected it, knowing that humanity would turn on the Autobots if it knew they had been hiding among them. The Autobots faced down Starscream, but Optimus was forced to throw himself in the way of a blast to protect Evac and Crosswise. With their leader down, the Autobots retreated until Red Alert could fix him up. {{storylink|Invasion}} The Autobots returned to base to halt all communications to prevent their location from being discovered. Finding the kids and the Mini-Cons - who had been caught and interrogated by [[Mikey Franklin|Colonel Franklin]] - missing, Optimus sent out Hot Shot and Landmine to search for them, only for the escaped humans to show up later with Dr. Suzuki in tow. Finally having devised a plan, Optimus proposed abandoning Earth and taking its planet key - protected and retrieved by the Earth-based [[Evac (Cybertron)|Evac]] - to Velocitron via space bridge. The Autobots rolled out along the space bridge, but Starscream caught wind of the plan and assaulted them. With his glorious future so nearly within his grasp, Starscream single-handedly powered through the entire Autobot squad in his pursuit of the Omega Lock and the keys. Only Optimus, combined with Leobreaker in Savage Claw Mode, at last stood in his path as Starscream clutched the Lock. Prime smashed Starscream out of the sky, chasing the dropped Lock - but in one final dastardly act, Starscream launched a missile at Coby and his friends. Optimus disengaged his pursuit of the Lock to throw himself in the missile's path, protecting the humans at the loss of the Omega Lock and the Cyber Planet Keys. Starscream fled while Optimus and the other Autobots promised to steal the keys back. {{storylink|Retreat}}

Colonel Franklin then told the Autobots his true reasoning for tailing them - that he had been saved by Evac as a child and wanted to prove the existence of the Transformers. He offered Prime all the military resources at his command. But suddenly, a series of events rapidly occurred. A space bridge opened above Earth displaying the black hole; an energy burst from Cybertron, decrypted by Vector Prime and Scattorshot, demanded that the Omega Lock and Keys be returned to the planet; and Megatron, escaped from his imprisonment, arrived in Niagara Falls. Optimus had the refugee Autobots evacuate the area of humans and a camouflage shield established in the vicinity, and the Autobots headed there to battle, needing to deal with the crisis before they could go off to find Starscream. Optimus and Megatron battled, but when Leobreaker and Snarl were pinned by Scourge, the trio of Hot Shot, Red Alert, and Scattorshot ganged up on Megatron so Prime could save the others. Enraged at their ability to fend him off, Megatron summoned the power of Earth's Cyber Planet Key and gained a new machine gun, with which he mowed down the three Autobots. {{storylink|Revelation (episode)|Revelation}} Optimus charged Megatron but was blocked by Scourge. Combining with Leobreaker, Optimus beat him away, but was then blocked off by a cliff that Megatron collapsed before him. While Evac and Override distracted Megatron, Vector Prime transported the wounded Autobots to safety. Megatron tried to escape via portal, but Optimus forced him to stay by putting it out with his water cannons. The battle between the two continued as Hot Shot, Red Alert, and Scattorshot was saved from death by channeling the power of Primus and gaining new forms. Before Megatron could finish Prime, the three returned through a warp gate and attacked. Meanwhile, Optimus received a message from Jolt that the Air Force had located Starscream's island base due to an energy surge from the Omega Lock. Vector Prime opened a gate, and Optimus, Evac, and Override jumped through. {{storylink|Critical}}

[[Image:Cyb_ep30_sonic_wing_mode.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]At Starscream's volcanic island hideout, Optimus took on a slew of ancient Decepticons until Crosswise showed up to handle them, giving him the go ahead to pursue Starscream. Coby then alerted Prime that a fireball from space was heading towards Earth - but Optimus had more urgent matters at hand, as Megatron arrived via warp gate and headed for Starscream as well. Alongside the also-arrived Vector Prime, Optimus found himself trapped by Sideways amid flames. Megatron took advantage of the situation to shoot at Optimus, but Vector Prime hurled himself in the way of the blast. Before Megatron could take a second shot, he was pounded by the incoming fireball, which proved to be Wing Saber! Having received the signal from the Omega Lock, Wing Saber hurried to Earth to help the Autobots - but in the intervening years since his last stint on Prime's team, he had grown irreverent. Though he irked some of the other Autobots, there were more pressing concerns to deal with, as Coby reported that the black hole was growing more unstable. At Vector Prime's suggestion, Optimus sent Hot Shot, Red Alert, and Scattorshot as a vanguard, the Cybertron Defense Team, to clear the way for returning the Omega Lock once it was retrieved. They set off via space bridge for their homeworld. {{storylink|Assault}} The two Primes meanwhile continued heading into the volcano, where they battled Sideways and Scourge. But when the Omega Lock burst with power and shook the foundations of the volcano, all the Autobots inside abandoned it, witnessing the emergence of a gigantically-grown Starscream. Vector Prime managed to steal away the Omega Lock, but Optimus was smashed into the ground by the titanic self-proclaimed ruler of the universe. {{storylink|Starscream (episode)|Starscream}}

With the Omega Lock in Autobot hands, Prime decided to remove it from the battlefield to safety and sent Leobreaker, Override, and Evac to rendezvous with the Cybertron Defense Team with the Lock in tow. Seeing these three leave via space bridge, Megatron decided to ditch the fight and chase after them. Starscream, meanwhile, threw up a barricade of flying rocks to keep Prime away. Flying through the rocks proved too difficult for both Prime and Wing Saber, who told his commander that they should attempt to combine as they last did in the Chaar asteroid belt, where they had to save the life of a wayward astronaut. Despite a faulty start and Optimus' doubts that it would work, the two combined into Sonic Wing Mode, darting through the rock barrier and bringing Starscream to his knees. Sideways quickly teleported his fallen leader away while Optimus proclaimed that the Autobots would now head to Cybertron. {{storylink|United}}

[[Image:Primeinhell.jpg|left|250px|thumb|]]Arriving through the space bridge, Prime's team dropped in on Megatron just in time to stop him from destroying the advance guard. Prime and Wing Saber again combined, battling Megatron, who had stolen the Omega Lock from Leobreaker. As Megatron fled into the fire dimension, Optimus chased after him. Their battle continued on in the inferno, where Megatron withstood Prime's blows, regenerating each time due to the [[Armor of Unicron]]. Finally, Prime and Megatron hit each other so hard that an explosion tore the dimension itself open. Prime escaped with the Omega Lock, ordering Vector Prime at once to open a warp gate across the tear, causing the fire dimension to collapse in on itself. Megatron, channeling the demonic power of the Armor of Unicron, managed to hold the tear in space itself open as Scourge and Thunderblast abandoned him, but when Optimus and Vector Prime combined the powers of the Omega Lock and [[Rhisling]] to blast Megatron, he gave in and was crushed to death by the collapsing dimension. With victory at hand, the Autobots placed the Omega Lock in an altar, initiating a pulsating wave which coursed across the planet. Cybertron itself began to break apart, causing the Autobots to panic and fear that they had, rather than save the planet, actually destroyed it. Escaping to one of the planet's moons, the Autobots stared down at their home world, only to learn from Vector Prime that Cybertron was not breaking apart - it was transforming, revealing it to be the body of Primus himself! {{storylink|Cybertron (episode)|Cybertron}}

Primus proceeded to speak through Jolt, telling the Autobots that the black hole was caused by the implosion of Unicron and the resultant lack of balance between good and evil in the universe. As only Primus could restore the balance, the four Cyber Planet Keys would need to be placed in the Omega Lock to fully restore his spark, allowing him to gain enough power close the black hole. The fourth Key, however, lay with the Gigantions, whose colony ship had been sucked into an alternate dimension, hence why even the Decepticons' planet map could not locate it. But before Primus could tell the Autobots how to find the planet, he went offline. Starscream and Sideways returned, and while Sideways kidnapped the Mini-Cons - who, as natives of Gigantion, he hoped would know how to reach it - Optimus and Wing Saber combined to fight Starscream. Starscream, however, ditched the fight to vainly attack Primus himself, getting blasted by the god's defensive systems and dropping the planet map, which Vector Prime recovered. {{storylink|Balance}}

Megatron, meanwhile, returned from the dead, preserved by the Armor of Unicron. While his specter amazed everyone on the field, Vector Prime noticed that the Mini-Cons and human children, who had chased after them, had vanished, though he did not know that they had all warped with Sideways onto the Atlantis. Busy fighting Scourge, Optimus could not deal with the problem. He was given another problem immediately afterwards, when the rematerialized Megatron unveiled his own dark clone of Leobreaker, [[Nemesis Breaker]], and combined with it to form Dark Claw Mode. Combining with Leobreaker, Prime challenged Megatron; the clash of the two Claws produced such a huge explosion that it could be seen from space. The resultant explosion gave the Decepticons cover to try and steal the Omega Lock. {{storylink|Darkness (episode)|Darkness}}. Optimus fought Megatron to prevent him from claiming it, resulting in another gigantic collision between the two Claws. Meanwhile, Starscream departed the Atlantis to steal the Omega Lock while the others were busy battling. {{storylink|Memory}} Eventually, Prime and Leobreaker determined that Megatron, combined with Nemesis Breaker, was on too equal a footing with them and fled. Luckily for them, Thunderblast, on orders from Starscream, distracted Megatron by shooting him. Starscream himself then arrived, at the same time that Optimus returned combined with Wing Saber. Vector Prime, meanwhile, discovered that the kids were aboard the Atlantis and informed Prime that he was heading after them; when Megatron found out about the Atlantis, he quit the battle to chase after it as well. Starscream likewise headed back to his ship, activating the warp drive and fleeing. While Coby, Lori, and Six-Speed managed to be rescued, Bud, Jolt, and Reverb remained stranded on the Atlantis as it warped away. {{storylink|Escape (episode)|Escape}}

Vector Prime assured the children that should Bud and the Mini-Cons be taken through the dimensions to Gigantion, their flexible minds would protect him, though larger Transformers, with rigid and computer-like minds would cause problems. He and Red Alert therefore set about making a vaccine based on the powers of Rhisling and Optimus' Matrix to allow large Transformers passage through the dimensions in preparation for their eventual voyage. Prime remained on Cybertron with most of the other Autobots to clear it of Scrapmetal drones while Landmine escorted the kids to Earth, but finally broke his secrecy protocol when he returned with Vector Prime to back the children up when they revealed the truth of the Transformers and Bud's kidnapping to their parents. Prime extolled the virtues of his human comrades and requested that Coby and Lori be allowed to travel to Gigantion with him. Stunned, their parents agreed. {{storylink|Family}}

While Vector Prime studied the planet map to find the location of a wormhole leading to Gigantion, the other Autobots decided to combine the powers of the Matrix with the three Keys to stabilize the black hole before departure. Optimus used the Matrix to activate the Omega Lock and reactivate Primus, who summoned his energy to shoot a beam into the black hole. When Starscream sensed the revived Primus' power, he warped the Atlantis back into orbit and threw himself in the path of the beam, hoping to finish absorbing the energy of Primus as he had started to on Earth. Growing to the size of Primus himself, Starscream began to wail on the defenseless god, whose energies were entirely focused on the black hole. The Autobots set up a forcefield around him and rerouted his power, allowing him to fight back at the expense of continuing the beam. Optimus could do nothing but stand and watch as the planet-sized villain broke through the force field and attacked Primus. But the creator demonstrated his power to his children by lassoing his own moons and using them to beat Starscream into a nearby planet, which exploded; Starscream, drained of his energy, shrunk to his normal size and was warped away by Sideways. {{storylink|Titans}}

[[Image:Cyb_ep38_full_blast.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]As the Autobots prepared to depart, Optimus watched Coby working on a dead Scrapmetal, knowing that he was keeping his mind off Bud. Vector Prime, announcing that he'd discovered Gigantion's location, explained that the wormhole in the [[Skeleton Nebula]] leading to it would only be open a few days a year and required all voyagers to maintain positive emotions and thoughts. After Override returned from Velocitron with the colony ship [[Ogygia (Cybertron)|Ogygia]], the Autobots entered the wormhole, only to be assaulted by the Atlantis and unable to return fire due to Bud and the Mini-Cons being onboard. When the Ogygia was hit and sank towards the edge of the wormhole, Optimus sent Coby, Red Alert, and Six-Speed to fix the engines. It worked, but put them on course with an unavoidable asteroid, and with the ship's power draining, they could not blast it away. Prime led his team onto the hull of the ship, where they combined their Cyber Key powers to blast a hole straight through the asteroid, giving the Ogygia safe passage into the alternate universe. {{storylink|Warp}}

Upon landing on Gigantion, the Autobots split up to search for any inhabitants that they could talk to, only to find that the entire surface seemed to be barren of life. [[Safeguard (Cybertron)|Safeguard]] showed them a giant rock blocking a doorway, which Optimus ordered everyone to fire on with Cyber Key-enhanced weaponry, blowing it apart, but revealing only an empty control room behind it. They split up again and continued the search. Suddenly, a city rose out of the ground, with a few Gigantions hard at work building. When a gigantic i-beam nearly crushed the kids, Landmine and Optimus stepped in the way to hold it up and were helped out by the friendly [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]], who took the Autobots to his bunker, where he introduced them to his building partner [[Quickmix (Cybertron)|Quickmix]]. The Autobots told the Gigantions of their mission, and Quickmix told them that he had heard of the Cyber Planet Key, believing it to be in the central layer of the planet, which - according to Metroplex - was off limits according to custom. Just then, Megatron arrived alongside his new allies [[Menasor (Cybertron)|Menasor]] and [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]]. Optimus merged with Wing Saber to challenge them and took to the skies to fight Soundwave while everyone else battled. Metroplex easily beat Megatron with his [[Sparkdrinker]] axe, destroying Nemesis Breaker and forcing the Decepticons to flee. Seeing the difference between the two groups of Cybertronians, Metroplex and Quickmix decided to throw their lot in with the Autobots, even if it meant breaking tradition in heading back to old cities. {{storylink|Giant}}

Optimus asked Metroplex to guide the Autobots to the central layer, but the Gigantion leader explained that due to their custom of abandoning old cities to continually construct, they also deleted old data associated with those cities, and thus did not know how to reach the central layer of the planet. The Autobots decided to search for remaining data, and Vector Prime used the Omega Lock to hone in on the location of the Key. At the same time, Megatron - furious at his loss to Metroplex - pushed himself to the [[Image:Cyb_ep40_prime_vs_galvy.jpg|left|250px|thumb|]]limit, calling out to the Gigantion cyber key to the point of breaking his spirit from his body to reach out to it. Galvatron's interference with the key allowed Vector Prime to pinpoint its location in the center, and Optimus had the Autobots split into groups to search for routes to find it. Unfortunately for the Autobots, this made them easy targets for the powered-up Decepticon leader, who quickly cornered and defeated each group. When Optimus found the beaten Override, she warned him of Megatron and Optimus immediately recalled his remaining troops. Megatron soon beat the Cybertron Defense Team, Wing Saber, and Evac while Jetfire tried to get Coby to run away, though Coby was intent on nabbing a piece of data he'd found; Optimus threw himself in harm's way to distract Megatron and buy them time. With Optimus down, the dark lord announced that he had once again been transformed into Galvatron. Metroplex again took a swing at him, but this time his axe was stopped by a single finger of Galvatron's and he was hurled back, displaying the Decepticon's amazing new might. When Galvatron again tried to attack the children, Optimus blocked him, going Super Mode to fight him. Metroplex hurled him Sparkdrinker, and Optimus used his Cyber Key to power it up. Optimus and Galvatron struck each other at the same moment - Optimus fell first, damaged, but Galvatron did not escape unscathed, plagued by explosions. The Decepticons retreated, leaving the Autobots to marvel at the gigantic hole that Galvatron had torn in the planet when he made contact with the world's cyber key and the Atlantis in it. {{storylink|Fury}}

Knowing that Bud remained on the Atlantis, they decided to infiltrate it. Optimus and Wing Saber combined to draw out Sideways while Override, the Cybertron Defense Team, and Coby in his [[Cobybot|secretly-modified Scrapmetal]] snuck in. Soundwave arrived to bail out Sideways while Bud was rescued. Angered, Starscream attempted to power up the main cannons of the ship, but Quickmix pumped the surrounding hole full of cement, blocking off the guns. Back on Ogygia, Optimus gave his approval of the Cobybot and jokingly gave Coby the advice to tell out "TRANSFORM!" when transforming to psyche himself up. He then checked Coby's data and discovered that there were four routes leading to the planet's central layer. The Autobots split up again, with Optimus taking Vector Prime, Metroplex, Bud and the Mini-Cons along with him. Prime's team was followed by Ransack and Crumplezone, who would soon find themselves often acquainted with pain by Optimus' hand. First they attempted to snatch Jolt, who was displaying the route's map on his back. Optimus and Vector Prime tried to pursue but could not attack for fear of hitting Jolt. Luckily for them, Coby in the Cobybot arrived in a Prime-approved dramatic entrance and bested the Decepticons, who out of fear tossed Jolt at Evac. Prime grabbed Sparkdrinker and bashed them away, proceeding afterwards to thank Coby for his invention's great help once again. {{storylink|City}} As Optimus' team traveled through the planetary layers, they were blocked by the Decepticon duo, who they simply ran over. Ransack and Crumplezone then tried a third time to halt Prime's progress but Optimus blasted them off into the distance. {{storylink|Ambush}} Humiliated by their triple defeat, Ransack and Crumplezone again found themselves in Optimus' path when they fell through a floor and landed before the traveling Autobots. Optimus, seeking to keep them out of his path for good, went Super Mode and blasted them far off into the distance. But the gruesome twosome refused to give in and planted themselves in front of Prime later on int he path. Prime finally dispatched them when he combined with Wing Saber and blew the two sky high. {{storylink|Challenge}}[[Image:Cyb_ep41_angry_optimus.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]

Optimus and Jetfire's teams met up; when Lori heard about how Scourge had beaten Leobreaker and Snarl in battle during their search, she became enraged, but Optimus quieted her. The team opened a doorway to another deeper level of the planet, where they found a hallway with images of Mini-Cons. Lori accidentally triggered a switch that opened a secret passage that Bud and the Mini-Cons fell through, and when she wanted to go after them Optimus told her it would be safer to stay together. Bud and the Mini-Cons, it turned out, had fallen into the Mini-Cons' hometown, a secret hidden city for the wee folk of Gigantion. When Optimus and his team finally found their way in, they found Bud lecturing Scourge - who had also ended up there - on how to be a good leader without having to resort to violence. Much to Bud's confusion, Scourge challenged the Autobots to a duel. He first squared off with Metroplex, who easily beat him with his axe. Vector Prime then faced him and likewise defeated the Jungle Planet leader. Optimus was his final opponent and, combined with Wing Saber, he took down Scourge, though was a bit wounded himself. Collapsing but happy, Scourge admitted defeat. The Autobots drove off and continued their search. {{storylink|Scourge (episode)|Scourge}}

Optimus' team finally reached the lowest layer of the planet, and upon opening its doorway they found a lush and leafy world - the original planet as the Gigantions had discovered it during colonization. Wing Saber and Override rushed off to find the [[Lemuria (Cybertron)|Lemuria]], the name of the colony ship according to Metroplex, and located it crashed in a lake. But before they could do anything, Galvatron and Menasor crashed through the false sky ceiling and attacked. Optimus and Wing Saber combined to battle Galvatron, who taunted Optimus about defeating the Cybertron Defense Team, telling him that he might finally learn that troops are to be sacrificed. He hit Optimus hard enough to separate him from Wing Saber, and worrying for Wing Saber's safety, Optimus refused to allow him to recombine. Galvatron pummeled Optimus, beating him into the ground with his superior power; Evac prevented the other Autobots from interfering, thinking that Optimus would call them if he needed their help. Galvatron broke off his assault to go steal the Cyber Planet Key and the Autobots gave chase, only to be beaten back by Galvatron. While Coby and Landmine had managed to make their way into the Lemuria to take the Key - with Landmine finally getting his rematch with Starscream in the process - Optimus collapsed outside, fearing that he'd put all his troops lives in danger. Vector Prime smacked reality back into him, telling Optimus to shape up, as he would only be a bad leader if he did not care about his troop's safety. He should trust his troops, Vector Prime told Optimus, because his troops trusted him. Seeing all the Autobots fighting against Galvatron to stop him from stealing the key, Optimus' confidence was restored. With the Matrix glowing in his chest, Optimus took Sparkdrinker and blasted Galvatron into the sky. {{storylink|Optimus (episode)|Optimus}}

Landmine, having beaten Starscream in battle and acquired the Key, presented it to Optimus aboard the Lemuria. They put it in the Omega Lock, causing the ship to activate and Gigantion's security systems to power down. As the planet's layers opened to the surface, the Autobots saw a space bridge open in the sky and received through it a transmission from Colonel Franklin, telling them that the black hole's influence was growing. Just then, Scourge arrived, thanking Optimus for his help and stating that - having seen through the space bridge what chaos was happening on Jungle Planet - he had to return to his home world. Snarl reconciled with him and the two left for Jungle Planet. But before the Autobots could escape through the space bridge, Galvatron reappeared and stole the Omega Lock. Starscream then appeared, having healed himself through pure will, and challenges Galvatron to a final battle. While the two unleashed massive amounts of power and energy in the sky, the Autobots could only watch on and take cover. Sideways and Soundwave prevented Optimus from interfering as he tried to head for the Omega Lock. In the end, Starscream and Galvatron unleashed unreal amounts of power, punching each other so hard that it caused a dimensional fissure; Starscream, Soundwave, and Sideways were blown into another world, while Galvatron stood triumphant with the Omega Lock. He mocked Starscream for his incompetence one final time and fled through the space bridge, which began to disintegrate, trapping the Autobots on Gigantion. {{storylink|Showdown}}

[[Image:Cyb_ep47_primes_handshake.jpg|left|250px|thumb|]]As the Autobots panicked, Optimus suggested building a new space bridge generator. Scattorshot determined that it should be possible if they pooled together the power of their three colony ships, and soon a generator was constructed. When they flipped it on, though, the resultant space bridge unleashed a horde of [[Laserbeak drone]]s from [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]]. Unable to defeat the swarm, the Autobots were forced to shut down the space bridge. The Autobots thought there was no way out, but Vector Prime reminded them that there was one: he could turn back time to allow the Autobots to pass through the warp gate they came through when it was still open. But when Jolt, fearful for what this would do, explained to Bud that turning back time by such an amount would kill Vector Prime, Optimus immediately vetoed the idea, refusing to let him sacrifice himself. Jetfire proposed moving everyone from their universe to Gigantion's, letting their home universe be consumed. But Vector Prime then revealed to the Autobots something he had held back from them: the Unicron Singularity would never stop at one universe, but would consume time itself, and thus the entire multiverse would be destroyed. Resolved to die, Vector Prime explained to the Autobots how he had lived through countless eons, always watching the cycle of time but disconnected from it - but now that he had entered into it, he understood the true meaning of time because of the friends he had made. Jolt consoled Bud by telling him that Vector Prime wouldn't really die since he would continue to exist outside the time stream and Vector Prime gave the human child the planet map to keep. While the Autobots boarded their ships, Primes Optimus and Vector shared a somber moment on a mountainside at sunset, saying goodbye and thanking each other for their partnership. The colony worlds took off, Vector Prime alongside them. Channeling the ship's energies into Rhisling, Vector Prime turned back time and opened the warp gate. Quickly exhausted, he faltered at one point, but gave the last full measure of his power to ensure safe passage into the regular universe. With that, Vector Prime disintegrated in space and Optimus led the Autobots in salute for their great comrade. {{storylink|Guardian (episode)|Guardian}}

Finally returned, the Autobots split up; while the Lemuria and Atlantis went searching for Galvatron, Optimus led the Ogygia to Primus, who was by now low on power from trying to stabilize the black hole. Unknown to the Autobots, Galvatron was in fact within the black hole, using the Omega Lock to control its effects; he grabbed Jungle Planet with black tendrils and dragged it through a space bridge, intent on consuming it. The Autobots activated a space bridge to Jungle Planet to evacuate its inhabitants, and most escaped, though Scourge, Snarl, and Backstop would have been left behind if not for the sudden emergence of the planet's own colony ship, the [[Hyperborea]]. Galvatron and his crew arrived to attack Primus while he was weak. Optimus combined again with Wing Saber but was no match for the powered-up Galvatron, who prepared to finish him off once and for all at point blank range, when Transformers from all the planets arrived, forcing the Decepticons to retreat. Primus' light then shined on Optimus as the deity declared that all would become one. The four colony worlds then fused into a massive ship-weapon, [[Ark (Cybertron)|the Ark]]. {{storylink|Homecoming (episode)|Homecoming}}

[[Image:Cyb_ep49_vector_ghost.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]Galvatron brushed this impressive feat off, thinking himself even more powerful. He used the power of the Omega Lock to turn his followers into giants and struck at Primus. While his followers held off the Autobots, Galvatron headed for the center of the black hole with the Lock. Thundercracker fought Optimus until the Cybertron Defense Team arrived to relieve him, at which point Optimus, the other planet leaders, and the kids in their Mini-Con companions joined him. They all pursued Galvatron, who finally revealed his plan: to watch the universe be destroyed and then by the power of the Omega Lock rebuild it in is own image! The planet leaders all blasted Galvatron in unison, taking him down; determined to destroy the universe if he could not have it, Galvatron lobbed the Lock into the Singularity's core. As the keys came loose, each planet leader went to grab one while Optimus - with Coby acting as another set of eyes - chased down the Omega Lock before it could reach the core. When all seemed lost, Vector Prime's spirit emerged, guiding Optimus Prime's hand towards the Lock and helping him grasp it. The Lock and the Keys then combined with Primus, fully restoring his spark. Taking the Ark, he unleashed a blast of truly godly proportions at the Unicron Singularity, closing it off once and for all. Primus then transformed into Cybertron, fully restored into a technorganic paradise. {{storylink|End}}

[[Image:Cyb_ep50_final_blow.jpg|left|250px|thumb|]] A little time later, with the Decepticons seemingly defeated, the humans frolicked on Cybertron. Optimus, however, remained pensive, knowing that Galvatron remained somewhere in the void of space. The Autobots began construction of a giant engine to propel Jungle Planet back to its proper location in space, and Scourge thanked Prime for his help. But just then, Galvatron - who had experienced a vision from the mocking Starscream - swooped down to damage the engine, retreating to the Autobot command center on Cybertron in the hopes of drawing out Optimus for one final battle. While the Autobots - and even the Decepticons, who were tired of losing - scrambled to prop up the rocket and ultimately succeeded in doing so by drawing on the power of Primus, Optimus confronted Galvatron on Cybertron. There the two dueled a ferocious final battle, with Galvatron unleashing a new cannon on Optimus. Handily beating his Autobot rival, Galvatron began taunting Optimus by saying he would make sure to kill all his underlings once he was done with him. Enraged, Optimus drew up the strength from within him to grab Galvatron and fly him to one of Cybertrons's moons, where Galvatron could see Jungle Planet being restored to its rightful place. Just then, the other Autobots arrived, only to be fried by Galvatron's lightning. With his troops all downed, Optimus too soon faced the end as Galvatron cut off one of his wings and knocked him to the ground, preparing to deliver the killing blow. Before Galvatron's energy blade could strike, Vector Prime's planet map dislodged itself from Bud's pocket and hurled itself in the sword's path, saving Optimus. It unleashed a great light and Optimus once again found himself in the presence of Vector Prime's spirit. Vector Prime reminded him that he was watching from beyond time and space and had, this time, brought a gift. While Galvatron looked on incredulously, Optimus pulled out the gigantic blade Rhisling from the planet map. Optimus gave one great final speech, excoriating Galvatron for his evil ways and declaring this to be his final attack. Glowing gold with the power of the Matrix, Optimus charged at Galvatron, who summoned up his own demonic aura and flung himself towards his great rival. The two collided, and while Optimus' face mask was broken, Galvatron - screaming in pain - was impaled on the ancient blade. A huge explosion enveloped the two, leaving everyone on the battlefield tense and wondering who had survived. When the dust cleared, Optimus stood triumphant as Galvatron, run through with Rhisling, sat crumpled on his knees. But Galvatron would not give up; declaring that his war would not end while his spark still burned, Galvatron raised his fist to Prime's chest and slowly disintegrated into dust. Optimus bid his rival farewell and fell to his knees, assuring his troops he was alright. {{storylink|Unfinished}}

[[Image:CobyLoriWedding.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]] Some time later, Optimus called for an intergalactic peace conference among the Transformers' colony worlds. With all the planet leaders - plus Colonel Franklin as Earth's representative - attending, Optimus proposed that rather than seal away the Omega Lock and Cyber Planet Keys, they fulfill their ancestors' dream of building the universal space bridge. All agreed except for Jetfire, who Optimus declared the new commander on Cybertron. The other Autobots reassured Jetfire that he would do a good job, and Jetfire - long second-in-command - finally accepted the role of leadership. While the other planets sorted out who their new leaders would be - Jungle Planet with a bout, Velocitron with a race, etc. - the other Autobots, and even some Decepticons like Thundercracker, helped out in the reconstruction effort on Earth. Finally, the Autobots assembled in their colony ships on Earth and prepared to set off. Goodbyes were said and tears were shed. Even Rad, Carlos, Alexis, and Kicker attended the departure. Just before liftoff, however, Wing Saber - who had opted out of the project to go solo - sent a message that he'd stumbled upon a lead to Starscream's location. Landmine, still itching to pummel him further, asked to be let go and Optimus granted him permission. Bud gave Optimus the planet map and asked him to return it to Vector Prime if they ever met again, and Optimus assured him that he would. With that, Optimus ordered the ships to lift off, and they launched into space. While Optimus held the planet map, it glowed once more, and Prime saw out in the sea of stars the face of Vector Prime. Optimus called for the engines to be put at full throttle, and the Transformers blasted off into deep space. Finally, all were one.

Years later, Optimus Prime would attend the wedding of Coby and Lori on Earth. {{storylink|Beginning}}

==''Cybertron'' comic==
Several months after [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s transformation into [[Primus]], Optimus Prime and his crew met with a team of Autobots who were stationed on Cybertron, including the [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] of [[Viron|another universe]]. The native Optimus Prime brought the sad news of [[Vector Prime]]'s demise to the Cybertron Autobots, as they had worked with him. Nevertheless, he thanked the alternate Optimus Prime for his efforts in battling [[Unicron]] and his forces. Optimus also expressed to [[Anti-Blaze]] his hopes that the Cybertronians and the [[Mini-Con]]s would live together in peace, like on [[Gigantion]].

With the other Autobots, Optimus Prime joined [[Alpha Trion (Energon)|Alpha Trion]] in forging a new future for the Transformers. {{storylink|Revelations Part 6}}

The Touch

2011-12-13T01:52:02Z

Wwelord: Just happened on the 12-12-11 wwe raw

{{song

|caption=If you don't know this song by heart, what the hell are you doing on this wiki?

"'''The Touch'''" is a song by [[Stan Bush]], featured on the 1986 album ''[[The Transformers: The Movie - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]]''. It is <s>possibly the pinnacle of human achievement</s> fondly remembered by many fans for being featured in two climactic battles in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

"The Touch" is first featured in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], having just arrived to [[Autobot City]], takes on several of the Decepticon forces by himself. It plays again, near the end of the feature, as [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] opens the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]. The song was used again during the climactic scene of the cartoon episode "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2]]".
{{TOCclear}}

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon===
At an undetermined time period following the creation of the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]] and the seeming defeat of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], [[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime spent a good deal of time relating Transformers stories to the human schoolboy [[Tommy Kennedy (G1)|Tommy Kennedy]].

After a series of stories wherein he described the events of the battle with [[Unicron]], Optimus Prime had to depart to attend an interstellar peace conference in the midst of a barrage of questions from Tommy. As he was blasting off, Prime declared "But until I return, I leave you with 'The Touch'!"

Following this, the music video for "The Touch" began, although how Tommy was able to view it in the barren wasteland where his meetings with Prime typically took place is unknown. {{storylink|The Transformers (cartoon)#Season 5|Season 5}}

{{note|As Stan Bush could not have written the song for the 1986 theatrical ''The Transformers: The Movie'' within the context of the cartoon timeline (as the events of the movie had not happened at that point in continuity), it is possible that the song was simply a general release that Prime was personally fond of.

Another possibility is that a fictionalized film account of the events surrounding the battle with Unicron was created sometime after the year 2005, and that Stan Bush's music video was produced to accompany that feature. This theory is not out of the realm of plausibility; in the UK comics, resident letter answerer [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] reviewed a Transformers film in an article entitled ''[[Letters page (Marvel UK)|Film 2006 With Grimlock]]''. The movie was also mentioned as being a product of the Autobots in the [[S.T.A.R.S. continuity]] flyer ''[[The Autobots Have a Special Mission for:]]''.}}

===''War for Cybertron===
Before the war spread to [[Earth]], and seemingly millions of years before Stan Bush would have even been born, the Decepticons were fighting the Autobots on Cybertron. [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] asked [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] to transform into his stationary music-playing mode and play a recording of "The Touch". The inspirational anthem emboldened Shockwave in battle, but annoyed [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. Shockwave informed Starscream that the Air Commander could select the music when his hit percentage exceeded Shockwave's. {{storylink|Commercial#War for Cybertron|GameStop's commercial for their Shockwave multiplayer exclusive}} {{-}}

==Notes==
{{quote|As [Prime] battles his way through the Decepticons, we HEAR an inspiring anthem of courage, strength and triumph, like "Eye of the Tiger". This theme will reprise during the film when the Autobots are battling at impossible odds.|The original movie script's request for the song that would be "The Touch".}}
*"The Touch" was originally written for the 1986 Sylvester Stallone movie ''[[Wikipedia:Cobra (film)|Cobra]]'', but the record company decided to switch it to the Transformers movie instead.<ref>http://totalscifionline.com/interviews/4062-stan-bush-still-got-the-touch</ref>
*In 2007, Bush recorded a new, updated version of "The Touch" together with "[[Till All Are One (Transformers Theme)]]" in a bid to get them onto the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action movie's]] soundtrack. [[Transformers: The Album|It didn't work]], but Bush released them both as bonus tracks on his own album ''In This Life''.
*In 2008, Bush launched a campaign to have the song included on one of the ''Guitar Hero'' or ''Rock Band'' games.<ref>http://kotaku.com/5059337/stan-bush-wants-the-touch-in-guitar-hero-rock-band</ref> It wasn't long before he announced the campaign's success, with the 2007 version of "The Touch" hitting ''[[Wikipedia:Guitar Hero: World Tour a|Guitar Hero: World Tour]]'' as free downloadable content and Stan put the song into Rock Band himself through Rock Band Network in 2010.<ref>http://kotaku.com/5173693/stan-bush-thanks-kotaku-readers-for-their-support</ref>
*As part of the media hype building up to the release of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', Bush released another reworked version of the song, this time with a more contemporary [[Linkin Park]]-inspired sound, renamed "The Touch: Sam's Theme". This is notable because, while completely unsanctioned or unrequested by Hasbro or Dreamworks, it is [[Holger Fath|totally hilarious]].
*In 2010, Bush released his 11th album, 'Dream the Dream', which featured the song "Sam's Theme (The Touch)", a rap-less version of "The Touch: Sam's Theme".
*"The Touch" has reappeared in numerous non-''Transformers'' productions over the years, including the film ''[[Wikipedia:Boogie Nights|Boogie Nights]]'', the television series ''[[wikia:c:chuck-nbc:Episode 205: Chuck vs. Tom Sawyer|Chuck]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:American Dad!|American Dad!]]'' and even ''[[Wikipedia:WWE Raw|WWE Monday Night Raw]]''.

Talk:City of Steel (episode)

2011-12-10T12:23:23Z

Wwelord: /* error? */ new section

== Title ==

Is "Steel City" really different enough from "City of Steel" to warrant listing? The two are entirely equivalent in English and the choice of which form to use would seem to be due to personal preference of the translator. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 01:14, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

:"スチールシティ" reads "su-chii-ru-shi-ti", or "Steel City". There is no room for preference or adjustment. Katakana doesn't work that way. It's rendering the English words "steel" and "city" into the Japanese sound structure. If it had used words like 鋼 ("hagane", Japanese for "steel") or 都会 ("tokai", Japanese for "city") there might be a case. But even then, we'd include the Japanese title even if it directly translated into "City of Steel" so as to make the Japanese spelling of the title and it's roomaji equivalent available. We're informative like that. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 01:22, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

== Leftover errors ==

I couldn't find these previously listed errors:

* At one point, Megatron's helmet appears in white rather than grey, giving the impression that he is wearing a white wig. Earlier in the episode, his face and helmet are both coloured in the same shade of dark grey.

* The Empire State Building is depicted as ''far'' too small in relation to the Transformers in several scenes.

If they're gonna go back in, the scenes need to be specified a lot more clearly. (that goes for a lot eps, actually. There's far too many "In one scene" errors in our G1 eps.) -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 20:23, 5 September 2009 (EDT)
:Megatron's hair being "white" is the same shot as Soundwave's red cannon, though it looks like they actually just coloured his face a dark gray. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:41, 5 September 2009 (EDT)

== Mixmaster ==

...oh, you're thinking of "Get it, get it, huh?", aren't you. That's not his speech quirk. That's just a cackling gleeful excited evil guy. His (annoying) quirk is repeating the first syllable or two of a word three times. "Auto auto autobots!" -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 22:21, 14 December 2009 (EST)

== error? ==

In this episode Ratchet says that the largest city in north America is New York City but the real largest city is Mexico City. Is this considered an error?--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 07:23, 10 December 2011 (EST)

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)

Wwelord: has not been confirmed

{{Nav-dotm}}
The '''''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''''' toyline coincides with the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|third]] film in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]]. The line is divided into three brandings: the [[MechTech]] line for Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Ultimate and [[Human Alliance]] class size toys; the [[Cyberverse]] subline featuring [[Legends Class]] characters, Commander Class (new price point, effectively replacing Scouts) and play sets; and [[Robo Power]], a catch all line for various merchandise including role play.

The figures also come in ''3'' [[transformation (toys)| transformation]] difficulty levels, changed from the original 5 in the [[Transformers: Generations|''Generations'']] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toylines.

Sixshot (G1)

2011-10-29T23:58:42Z

Wwelord: /* The Headmasters cartoon */

{{disambig2|the Generation 1 Decepticon|the ''Energon'' Decepticon|Six Shot}}
{{factions|decepticon}}
:''Sixshot is a [[Decepticon]] [[Six Changer]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:SixshotBoxArt.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Determined to make bad where his [[Quickswitch|Autobot son]] went good, Sixshot joins the Decepticons!]]

'''Sixshot''' is murderous and ferociously intense in his dedication to his mission. Just about the only redeeming quality found in Sixshot, from an Autobot point-of-view, is his respect for those he's destroyed and sent before him to the "great junkyard in the sky". Sixshot feels life is only worth living as long as there are enemies to pit himself against. Thankfully, his six forms and his function as a S.T.A.G. (Solo Transformer Assault Group) give him plenty of opportunities for combat.

{{bigquote|He kills. He destroys. He eradicates. He doesn't negotiate!|[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] sums up Sixshot|[[Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5]]}}

Sixshot transformed six times at [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s command. He used his five alternate modes to effortlessly take down each individual member of the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] showing them what a one robot army he is. In order, he shot down [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] while in tank mode, transformed to beast mode and flew up to destroy [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]], landed and transformed to armored car mode to shoot down [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], transformed to jet mode to shoot [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] and finally transformed into his gun mode which [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] used to shoot down [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

====''The Great Transformer War''====
[[Image:SixshotGreatTransformersWar03.jpg|right|180px|thumb|]]

In the year 2011, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] made plans for an all-out assault on the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. These plans, however, required that the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] successfully escape from planet [[Master (planet)|Master]] and reach [[Chaar]]. With the Decepticon Headmasters being tailed by the Autobot Headmasters, Galvatron dispatched Sixshot to ensure that his newest recruits escape their pursuers. Arriving just in time, Sixshot easily defeated the Autobot Headmasters, then angrily ordered the Decepticon Headmasters to head for Chaar so they could participate in the assault on Cybertron. His mission successful, Sixshot left the defeated Autobots to lick their wounds. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 3|The Great Transformer War #3}}

[[Image:Sixshot abel.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Sixshot, a member of the [[Six Clan]], had a long, bloody history of being a scoundrel and a killer. Millions of years prior to his becoming Decepticon [[City Commander]], Sixshot traveled to the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]] and tried to rip off a mining operation. One of the miners, [[Abel]], stood up to him and Sixshot brutally murdered him. Abel happened to be a good friend of [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]'s, however, this was before he underwent the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster process]] and he was too weak to stop Sixshot. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

[[Image:Sixshot first app.jpg|thumb|250px]]

He debuted in 2011 with the function of "[[Trypticon (G1)|Decepticon City]] Ninja Commander".<ref>Infamously translated as "Ninja Consultant" in the [[Omni Productions|Omni Productions dub]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6jE-_AfZqc Ninja Consultant!! at Youtube.com]</ref> In this respect, he was something of an arch-enemy to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. They had their first encounter when Sixshot led [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] and the [[Triple Changer]]s against the Autobots on Earth, trying to prevent reinforcements from reaching Cybertron. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Sixshot was immensely powerful and soon usurped [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] as Galvatron's bestest fwend. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} He personally guided Trypticon into battle on Earth in order to test Galvatron's [[Madmachine]] on Metroplex. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

Sixshot and Galvatron came up with a plan to steal energy from the six major nations on Earth. Using his until-then hidden ability to assume six different modes, combined with his ninja shadow powers, Sixshot would pose as a group of robots extorting energy from Earth, throwing the Autobots off-balance as he would not appear to be associated with the Decepticons. In his various modes, Sixshot made several terrorist strikes on the countries he was blackmailing. He made two vital mistakes, though: one, by not telling Scourge and Cyclonus about the plan, they recruited Trypticon to keep this "mystery robot" from muscling in on Decepticon turf. And two, he attacked Japan. Nobody attacks Japan on the [[Trainbot]]s' watch. Sixshot was swarmed with enemies in Japan, first the combiner [[Raiden]], then the misguided Decepticons leading Trypticon into the fray, and finally Chromedome and the Headmasters, who had finally recognized him as the evil ninja from Master millions of years before. All the ninja tricks in the world couldn't get Sixshot out of THAT ruckus unscathed. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

[[Image:Sixshot Scorponok.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Later, when Galvatron stormed Cybertron to capture the super-metal known as [[Cybertonuron]], Sixshot happened to let it slip to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] that Galvatron said he wouldn't need the Headmaster anymore once the Cybertonuron was his. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Coincidentally enough, Galvatron vanished in a huge explosion just hours later, and Scorponok assumed command of the Decepticons. He declared his new position before Sixshot, Soundblaster and the others, and began hatching evil schemes of his own. As Scorponok sent the Headmasters and Triple Changers to capture the energy-absorbing satellite [[Sol 1]], Sixshot occupied the Autobots on Earth so that they couldn't interfere. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} Sixshot also coordinated Scorponok's scheme to distract the Autobots with a volcanic eruption in Peru. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}

In order to keep the Autobots from interfering with Scorponok's plans on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], Sixshot and Trypticon intercepted them as they left Autobot City. Sixshot used his six modes to keep the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s distracted and off-balance. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}} Later, he left for Chaar to attend the debut ceremony of MegaZarak, Scorponok's massive new [[Transtector]]. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}} When a mysterious UFO appeared on Earth, Sixshot was swallowed up inside its luminescent form right before Soundblaster's optics. He reappeared with the UFO on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] in the midst of a battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, when it was revealed that the UFO was a starcruiser piloted by the returning Decepticon emperor, Galvatron. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

After learning the Autobots were going to stockpile large quantities of energon and send it to the needy planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]], Galvatron had Sixshot coordinate a raid on the relief mission. Sixshot and his leader joined the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s and [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s (and [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]]) for an attack on the Trainbots before they could take off with the energon. The battle between the two forces stalemated, as the Decepticons failed to capture the energon, but also prevented the Trainbots from successfully fleeing with it. After shooting down the trains, Sixshot fought their Light-Speed Commander, [[Shōki]]. The stalemate eventually ended when the Autobots pulled back and sent the energon from their second base on [[Athenia]] instead. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

[[Image:Hm18 negotiating with galvatron.jpg|thumb|250px]]

Sixshot was next seen using his ninja powers to disguise himself as Galvatron for a meeting with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]. While "Galvatron" pretended to entertain the notion of a joint energy generating project with the Autobots, the real Galvatron gathered his forces to strike out at energy sources elsewhere in the universe. The Autobot double agent [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]] reported on the ruse to his superiors, and Sixshot was revealed. As he led the Decepticons on Earth in a retreat, Sixshot blew up the Space Bridge ring as they were departing, preventing Autobot pursuit. Furthermore, because the Space Bridge nexus was already destabilized after the destruction of Mars, the Space Bridges on Athenia and Cybertron were also destroyed thanks to Sixshot's attack. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}}

[[Image:Sixshot attacking.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

As the Decepticons flew out into deep space to raid new sources of energy, Sixshot clearly distinguished himself as Galvatron's right-hand man. On [[Hive (planet)|Hive]], Galvatron only took Sixshot and the [[Horrorcon]]s with him to force the entire planet to surrender to the Decepticon cause. They fought their way to the palace and its energy stockpile, but were blocked at the five yard line by Chromedome and the Headmasters. {{storylink|Fight to the Death on Planet Hive!!}} On their next stop, the Decepticons attacked Sperity, the more developed of the [[Twin Star]] planets. Galvatron sent Sixshot and Soundblaster to uncover as much energon as they could, but the supply was drastically short. They could barely scrape together enough cubes to fill a room. The Decepticons learned too late that all of Sperity's people and energon had been diverted to the sister planet, Toruin. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} When the Decepticons came to [[Daros]] to stock up on "goodwill" energon from their ally, the corrupt governor, Galvatron sent out Sixshot and the Horrorcons to stall Fortress's men so that their refueling could be completed. Sixshot successfully kept the Autobot Headmasters occupied long enough for Scorponok to fill up. {{storylink|Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!}} Next, on [[Paradise]], Sixshot was sent to occupy the Autobots alone while the other Decepticons gathered energy. He waged a solo Transformer assault (group) on the Battleship Maximus, challenging Fortress's massive vessel. Its weapon systems were inoperative at the time, but hey, it ''looked'' impressive. {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}} The Decepticon mission continued at full pace, and they succeeded in accumulating energon on roughly half of the thirteen worlds they visited. Finally, on the [[Pirate Planet]], Sixshot welcomed their new allies, the [[Clone (subgroup)|Decepticon Clones]]. The Clones and Sixshot aided Galvatron in the search for hidden proton energy on the planet before finally starting their return journey back to Chaar. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

[[Image:Sixshot modes.jpg|right|250px|thumb|I've got nothing to lose and I've got nothing to prove, so I'll be dancing with myself.]]

Back in our galaxy, Sixshot aided Galvatron in carrying forward his ultimate plan. Sixshot cautioned his leader that Scorponok would not sit idly by while Galvatron made himself all-powerful, but Galvatron dismissed the threat of Scorponok as ultimately insignificant. As the final prepations were being made, Sixshot led an army of Horrorcons, [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s in an assault on Earth. Once the Autobot energy facility in [[Miami]] was under siege, Sixshot returned to Autobot City with Trypticon to attack Ultra Magnus while his troops were scattered dealing with other threats. Sixshot and Ultra Magnus fought in personal combat, as Sixshot made full use of his Six-Changer and ninja multiplication powers. After a tireless barrage, Sixshot unveiled his hidden seventh mode, the '''Wingwolf''', possesssing the power of all his separate modes combined. The Wingwolf's assault was too much for Ultra Magnus, and he succumbed to his wounds. The enraged Autobot Headmasters arrived just in time to witness his fall, and they turned their anger on Sixshot, driving him from the murder scene. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}}

[[Image:Sixshot grand galvatron.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Flush with victory, Sixshot continued the war on Earth, unleashing [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and the Horrorcons to attack five different locations at once, stretching the Autobot forces to the breaking point. He also uncovered the secret location of Scorponok, who had gone AWOL earlier during the siege of Earth. Reporting back to his commander on Chaar, Sixshot informed Galvatron of his findings. During this meeting, Galvatron unveiled his full plan for the stockpiled energon—he wanted to become another [[Unicron]], incorporating Earth itself into his body to become the planet-sized [[Grand Galvatron]]. To do so, he would require..."donations" from the finest of Transformer warriors, using them as spare parts to assemble his massive new frame with the best transforming parts available. Galvatron informed Sixshot that his own impressive transforming powers would mark him as the first warrior Galvatron would honor by disassembling.

Less than thrilled with the idea of being scrapped for Galvatron's insane ambitions, Sixshot reported to Scorponok and forged an alliance with the Headmaster leader in order to hold off his grisly fate. When Galvatron came upon them, Sixshot and Scorponok faked a scuffle until the Autobots arrived on the scene as well. Sixshot was caught up in battle with Metroplex, who was seeking revenge for the death of Ultra Magnus. Fortunately for Sixshot, the Autobot Headmasters united against Galvatron and left him buried deep beneath the icefields of Alaska. Although Sixshot and Scorponok were forced to flee, Sixshot no longer had to worry about being incorporated into the "Grand Galvatron". {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

Sixshot devoted himself to the new leader, Scorponok, and continued his efforts to upset the Autobot activity on Earth. He and Trypticon staged another attack on Autobot City, injuring Spike Witwicky in the process. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} Scorponok was soon driven off Earth after the Autobots discovered the weak point on his MegaZarak Transtector, and so the Decepticons' new target was the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. When six robots escaped Master in an attempt to warn the Autobots, Sixshot pursued them along with [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]], [[Misfire]] and [[Triggerhappy]]. They came across the Battleship Maximus in space, and Sixshot engaged the Autobot Headmasters in warfare, using his multiplication power to confuse them. Chromedome and his allies managed to hold their own, however, and the fighting continued until a massive explosion of plasma energy rocked the area. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

[[Image:Sixshot kidnap.jpg|thumb|225px]]

In the aftermath, Sixshot found Slugslinger and his men had been fused to the Master refugees in the plasma explosion. He brought them back to Master to recuperate, and these new [[Targetmaster]]s joined Scorponok's forces for the invasion. The Decepticons were forced to modify their plans once the Battleship Maximus arrived in defense of Master. At Scorponok's command, Sixshot used his ninja powers to cast an illusion disguising him as Chromedome. He used his disguise to get close to Chromedome's friend [[Jack (Headmasters)|Jack]] and kidnap him so that the Decepticons could learn about the [[Master Sword]] and the Headmasters' weaknesses. Sixshot tortured the poor scientist vigorously, but even [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]'s hypnotic powers could not compel Jack to reveal what he didn't know. With his usefulness at an end, Sixshot concocted a cruel plan for using their prisoner against the Autobots. Jack was turned into a suicide bomber, implanted with a powerful explosive and hypnotically compelled to return to the Battleship Maximus and detonate. Chromedome was forced to shoot down his own friend in order to protect the others. Enraged over the deaths of Jack, Abel, and Ultra Magnus, Chromedome launched a furious assault on Sixshot with his fellow Headmasters. Sixshot's arms were blasted completely off his body in the fight, and he was forced to flee before the vengeful Autobot finished him off. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}}

[[Image:MasterSwordDanger Floppydisk.jpg|thumb|left|225px|"I got the goods right here."]]

In order to uncover the secret of the Master Sword, Sixshot had the young Autobot named Wheelie kidnapped and dangled above a pit of acid. He demanded that Fortress reveal the secrets within three hours or else Wheelie would die. Chromedome and Danny Witwicky managed to rescue Wheelie from the Decepticons, but Sixshot and his allies were able to steal the data they wanted from Fortress anyway. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} As Scorponok continued construction on his new super weapon, Sixshot led a group of Decepticons to distract Fortress Maximus, keeping him busy elsewhere while the final stages were being completed. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} Eventually, the [[Zarak Shield]] was completed, and the Decepticons rose up from beneath the city center in a massive battle. Sixshot fought against Fortress's warriors and the junior soldiers Chromedome had been training. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

[[Image:Sixshot Daniel Daira.jpg|thumb|225px]]

As the Decepticons made their way back towards Earth, Scorponok recklessly carried the scorpion through an asteroid field against Sixshot's warnings, causing damage to the ship. After Sixshot pointed out his lord's error, Scorponok ordered him out of the ship to attack the pursuing Battleship Maximus alone. During the battle, one of the Autobots' main cannons was jettisoned, and both it and Sixshot were swept up in a space vortex, depositing them on the planet [[Daira]] far from the battle. After reviving, Sixshot discovered Danny Witwicky had been inside the turret when it was launched. Although the boy was initially frightened, Sixshot assured Danny it was beneath him to make war on small children. As the two began to separate, a group of rock-creatures rose from the ground to attack. Sixshot defended both himself and Danny, and the two formed a cautious alliance. "Uncle" Sixshot kept Danny alive on Daira until the Autobot Headmasters arrived to rescue him. Chromedome was spoiling for a fight, but Danny insisted they leave Sixhsot alone. {{storylink|My Friend Sixshot!}}

[[Image:Sixshot Juno.jpg|thumb|left|225px]]

Despite being abandoned on the field of battle, Sixshot returned to the Decepticons and presented himself before Lord Scorponok once again for service. Scorponok's ship was still in need of repairs, and so Sixshot prepared a distraction—he challenged Chromedome to single combat on [[Juno]]. He hoped that destroying Chromedome would cripple the Headmasters' effectiveness and keep all of the Autobots busy until the scorpion could be repaired. Hours later, the duel began, and both combatants fought furiously until Danny arrived, throwing himself between them. While Sixshot denied Danny's pleas to their friendship, he also could not bring himself to shoot the boy in order to get to Chromedome. The stalemate ended abruptly with a massive explosion: Scorponok had laid a series of bombs around Juno in the hopes of eliminated both Sixshot and the Autobots. With Danny in danger, Sixshot declared the duel over. He charged Chromedome with getting the boy to safety, and saved Danny from falling into a ravine just before seemingly being consumed by a blast of lava himself. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

[[Image:sixshot bye.jpg|thumb|225px]]

Sixshot survived the blast, and made his way to Earth by clinging to the outside of the Battleship Maximus as it returned. By this point, Sixshot had deemed Scorponok his enemy, and was searching for a way to even their score. With his falling out with Scorponok not common knowledge, he made contact with Bruticus and the Decepticon Clones to gather information about Scorponok's current plans, and their upcoming rendez-vous at the North Pole. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} After a battle with the Autobots in Egypt, Sixshot secretly followed Scorponok back to the underwater entrance to [[Lemuria (G1)|Lemuria]]. Seeing Sixshot, Scorponok once again tried to pretend he was overjoyed by the Ninja Commander's return. Sixshot played along long enough to learn about Scorponok's plans for the [[crysmagnetal]], and then attempted to depart. A suspicious Scorponok refused to allow him to leave and fired upon Sixshot, but only succeeded in hitting one of the ninja's holographic doubles. While at the North Pole, Sixshot intervened twice in the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, saving Danny from [[Battletrap]] and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. In the end, he swore not to return to the Decepticons, and bade Danny farewell. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''The Headmasters'' comic====
For the sake of proving how insanely ''evil'' he was, Sixshot one day just decided to up and steal a capsule of emergency food rations from a spaceship. The Autobot Headmasters and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] attempted to stop him, but they were no match for the ninja, who vanished in a cloud of smoke.

Applauding himself as the "Devil King of Space", Sixshot then swooped down to a nearby planet to relax. Basking in the beauty of nature, Sixshot decided to share his pic-a-nic basket with all the cute and cuddly forest creatures romping and playing on and around him. Suddenly, Daniel popped up behind him, noting that he was nothing more than a big ol' softy. As it turned out, Daniel had latched onto Sixshot as he was making his escape from the Headmasters. Daniel asked Sixshot to join the Autobots since he was actually just a total poser, but Sixshot explained that he owed a ninja debt of ninja loyalty to [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and could do no such thing.

Then Daniel got shot in the arm. As the boy recovered, Sixshot recognized the group of gun-toting rednecks as [[Space Hunter]]s. Not about to let them kill all the cute animals (and Daniel), Sixshot transformed to all six of his modes, defeating the Hunters, and then to his Wingwolf mode just for the sake of overkill. With the Space Hunters fleeing, Sixshot saw to dressing Daniel's wound and then, with a speech about power, honor and loyalty (and after sending an SOS to [[Athenia]] to get Daniel a ride home), he zoomed off into space. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 4|The Headmasters #4}}

After the defeat of [[Scorponok (G1)|MegaZarak]], when all the other Decepticons were driven from the planet, Sixshot chose to blaze a new path in his life. Sixshot's next goal was to travel the galaxy and become the greatest warrior in the Universe, learning new transformations from various creatures. His first task was to stay on [[Earth]] and learn how to transform into a human being. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 8|The Headmasters #8}}

Sixshot was one of the Decepticons who followed [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] to the planet [[Nebulos]]. He acted as an air transport to an unidentifiable Decepticon. Upon greeting Lord [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]]'s faction of Nebulans, he noted, "Strange creatures await us." Maybe they were ''too'' strange because he was never seen again. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

While [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] was off looking for some new [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]] source, Sixshot gathered volunteers for an unspecified mission to make [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s life interesting. He managed to rustle up [[Pounce]], [[Wingspan]], and [[Flywheels]]. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

Sixshot took part in an attack on [[Tau-Ursa]], allowing Galvatron to pick up the last component needed for his [[Nullification Cannon]]. As a result of the attack, the Decepticons leveled the entire city. They then headed for Cybertron, where Sixshot led a group in creating a diversion. He took great delight in baiting [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], promising that he would reveal his other three alternate modes to the Autobot someday. When [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] realised that the diversion was to cover Galvatron's attack on the Energon plant, Sixshot's team retreated, their job done. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
[[Image:Sixshotg1dw.jpg|right|180px|thumb|"Strange heads await us."]]

Once the [[Triple Changer]]s turned out to be a success, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] sought to create an even more impressive warrior that could transform into an unprecedented six modes. Shortly after finishing with the being he named Sixshot, Shockwave berated Blitzwing for acting out of rank, in response to which Astrotrain later suggested that Blitzwing (the first triple Changer) no longer was Shockwave's favourite. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} Shockwave's short rule was ended by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] before his project could be unveiled, and so apparently passed under Megatron's radar. While Megatron had moved his attentions to [[Earth]], Sixshot was seen examining the remains of Blitzwing at the deserted site of Shockwave's former base. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{Note|[[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] went out of business before Sixshot could be properly revealed. Earlier in the series, [[Octane]] is shown piloting a land vehicle that is clearly Sixshot's tank mode, which is later jacked by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. This vehicle never transforms or shows any signs of sentience, so whether or not it is '''actually''' Sixshot is debatable. [[James McDonough]] later noted in an interview that it was not some random [[easter egg]], and that its inclusion was deliberate foreshadowing of the future of Shockwave's experiments in multiple transformations.}}

[[Image:LastStandoftheWreckers2-teleconference.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Sixshot, pre-angst.]]

After the war had begun, Megatron called three of his most deadly warriors to him, intent on making them his "[[Infiltration protocol|phase sixers]]". [[Black Shadow]] and Sixshot were the first two, and [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]], who teleconferenced holographically while in the middle of a battle on [[Caldoon 4]], was the third. Though Black Shadow and Sixshot were excited to serve the Decepticons in this expanded capacity, Overlord chafed. {{storylink|Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|Last Stand of the Wreckers #2}}

[[Image:IDW Spotlight Sixshotshootsstuff.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Sixshot is so powerful, he defies all laws of perspective.]]
Sixshot, deployed by the Decepticons as a "living weapon", was one of the most feared Decepticons in the galaxy, as well as one of the most powerful. He was typically unleashed during Phase Five or Phase Six of the Decepticons' phased [[infiltration protocol]], bringing utter devastation to the worlds he visited. His "armature" consisted of metals drawn from the compacted core of a collapsed star, and his hermetically sealed power core contained a "self-regenerating dark matter fission cell"—in other words, he was fast, strong, virtually indestructible, and could fight all day and all night without getting tired. {{storylink|Devastation issue 4|Devastation #4}}

In the days before Cybertron was abandoned, Starscream voiced concerns over Sixshot, fearing he was simply too powerful. Aware of the dangers of such a powerful soldier, Megatron had Sixshot built with a secret "off switch" that could shut him down if need be. {{storylink|Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5}}

His lethal nature and the sheer horror of his job ended up ostracizing him from his fellow Decepticons, with Starscream in particular disliking him. Though Sixshot wasn't the most ''social'' warrior, he did miss the camaraderie of battle. The closest thing he had to "friends" were the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], a troop of Decepticon warriors who envied Sixshot's power and reputation and aspired to one day be as great as he. The only other person not afraid of and shunning him was Megatron, and ''he'd'' planted a secret "off switch" in Sixshot anyway. He eventually became tired of his role, losing the glee he used to have and being bored with it all.

[[Image:sixshot-devastation1a.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Trying to warn his boss that setting off this chain of events will only lead to ''[[All Hail Megatron]]''.]]

While on a mission to the strategically-significant planet [[Mumu-Obscura]], the Terrorcons went missing. After getting the info from [[Squawkbox]], Sixshot set out to rescue his "friends". After arriving, he found Mumu-Obscura to be a dead world, completely razed by a group of aliens known as the [[Reaper]]s. The Reapers, led by a [[Deathbringer (species)|Deathbringer]], offered the lives of the Terrorcons to Sixshot, if the Decepticon could defeat them in battle. Sixshot fought valiantly, though the Reapers proved to just be toying with him.

Eventually, the Deathbringer called off the battle and handed over the Terrorcons. The entire fight had been a test and the Reapers were willing to extend membership to Sixshot. The final test for joining, however, would be that Sixshot must sever all sentimental connections to his past and eliminate the Terrorcons. Sixshot could not bring himself to do the deed, though a part of him truly craved to be a Reaper. The Deathbringer allowed him to leave with the Terrorcons and declared that they would cross paths again, and hopefully then, Sixshot would be ready. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

[[Image:sixshot-devastation3d.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Think the insurance company will cover those?]]

After [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s recent thrashing by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Sixshot was called in "early" to deal with the Autobots on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Escalation issue 6|Escalation #6}}

After arriving on Earth, Megatron instructed Sixshot to track down Optimus Prime's unit and eliminate them. Sixshot was slightly confused that he had been called in so early, but he also knew what happened when you tried to press a point with Megatron, so he complied. The other Decepticons, however, were concerned with Megatron's choice of action. {{storylink|Devastation issue 1|Devastation #1}}

Once the Autobots' location had been relayed by Ratbat, Sixshot rocketed across the continent, intercepting the ''[[Ark-19]]'' as the Autobots attempted to relocate it. He shot it down with a single blast. {{storylink|Devastation issue 2|Devastation #2}}

[[Image:sixshot-devastation3e.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Some moron brought a cougar to a party and it went berserk.]]

Seeing the ship crash into the [[Gulf of Mexico]] and explode, Sixshot pursued [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], who had ejected with [[Verity Carlo]] and [[Jimmy Pink]] in an escape pod before the ''Ark-19'' crashed into the ocean. He was briefly distracted by two fighter jets, which he effortlessly destroyed. The brief distraction allowed Ratchet to escape to [[Pensacola]], where he attempted to hide among an ambulance pool. The "local rules of engagement" didn't apply to Sixshot, however; he proceeded to just blow up every ambulance around to force Ratchet to reveal himself. In the process, he made himself the first Transformer to be caught live on television and be visible in a crowded civilian area.

Transforming to wolf mode, Sixshot chased Ratchet out of town and down a highway, barely noticing as Ratchet discharged his two human passengers. He chased the Autobot to the Gulf of Mexico's edge and was about to kill him, when the crew of the ''Ark-19'' emerged from the water and shot him. {{storylink|Devastation issue 3|Devastation #3}}

Sixshot shrugged off their attacks and engaged the team of seven Autobots single-handedly on the beach. He badly wounded Bumblebee and Jazz while [[infodump]]ing the Autobots about his various capabilities. After most of the Autobots escaped via [[orbital jump]], Sixshot faced Optimus Prime alone. The Autobot leader was giving him a considerable run for his money, when he was summoned back to Decepticon headquarters to deal with the recently arrived Reapers. {{storylink|Devastation issue 4|Devastation #4}}

Arriving in Oregon, Sixshot blasted a hole in the Reapers' ship and fought their whole legion. Deathbringer entreated him to join the Reapers, planning to destroy him if he refused; while Sixshot initially shrugged him off, he became increasingly tempted by the offer of a ''cause'' to fight for instead of the degrading, dull destruction of his job. [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] then emerged, challenging Sixshot to a duel to the death, making his decision easier and causing him to defect. However, Starscream activated Sixshot's "off switch", a verbal command of "Reset: pi-orion-actual-orbit. Enable." Sixshot immediately shut down and crashed. {{storylink|Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5}} Amid all the chaos, everyone else seemed to forgot about the deactivated Decepticon... everyone except for [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Devastation issue 6|Devastation #6}}

Galvatron took Sixshot to the [[Dead Universe]] scientist [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], who repaired his body but implanted a device in his brain which gave his will over to the amoral researcher. Once completed, Sixshot was deployed to guard one of the [[Nega-Core]]s, which were essential to the [[Expansion]] of the [[Dead Universe]]. Any attempt to get to the Nega-Core would've involved a vicious battle that an attacking force would lose, {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}} so the Autobots snuck in through the back instead. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

[[Image:Squashed Sixshot.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Dehn-dehn-'''''DEHHHHHHHHHHH!''''']]
After the Dead Universe crew was defeated, Sixshot traded Megatron Jhiaxus's technology for his freedom. And thus Sixshot returned, in full possession of all of his faculties.

Rather than being used for full-scale planetary destruction, he first went on a snatch-and-grab mission to recover secret Autobot scientific research; he seemed to be back to his original enthusiasm, acting like the mission was a blast! He snuck into [[Orvus Base]], killing most of the crew before they knew what hit them. The [[Throttlebot]]s were stationed there, however, and were able to escape with the data and their lives. Sixshot pursued them to planet Orvus Base was orbiting, [[Salvvatan VIII]].

There he confronted the Throttlebots, who put up a fight, but he was having little trouble wearing them down. The fight took them into the city, where Sixshot was thrown through a door into a control room. This set off unusual alarms. While he was preparing to blast [[Searchlight (G1)|Searchlight]], an arm emerged out of the city, crushing him. This didn't incapacitate Sixshot, so when [[Metroplex (G1)|the city]] completed its transformation, it stomped on him, which did put him out of commission... temporarily... {{storylink|Spotlight: Metroplex}}

A [[nano-virus]] that afflicted most Autobots save the [[Targetmaster]]s and the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] required [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]] to lead a team to [[Nebulos]] for an anti-virus. However, the nano-virus was merely a ploy by the Decepticons to draw out the Targetmasters and Headmasters to abduct their [[Nebulan]] partners, so when the Autobots arrived on Nebulos, Sixshot and several other Decepticons were waiting for them! Sixshot and the others quickly fell into disarray, unfortunately, when their leader [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] was singled out and defeated. {{storylink|The Fierce Fighting on Planet Nebulos}}

Sixshot ambushed the Autobots just when they found the giant crystal of the Atalstan gem mine. Stating that the Autobots managed to get through the mines and declaring Cyclonus to be useless, Sixshot teleported in front of the Autobots at Optimus Prime's command. The Six Changer warned the Autobots that there was more than one soul in the body, and told them to witness his magic. This magic turned out to be his shadow powers, as he created two clones of himself. When Optimus exclaimed that it had to be an illusion, Sixshot warned the Prime that he would soon see otherwise and had his clones transform into tank mode and beast mode respectively. Despite all his fancy tricks, Sixshot was defeated. Transforming into his off-road vehicle form, Sixshot swore revenge and retreated. {{storylink|The Transformers (PS2)|The Transformers}}

[[Image:G1Sixshot toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"No, I don't have a [[Megatron (G1)/toys|trigger between]] [[Shockwave (G1)/toys|my legs]]. Now will you buy me?"]]
*'''Sixshot''' (1987, 2002)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-98'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Hypersonic Concussion Blasters"

:Sixshot transforms into a robot, a tank, a spaceship, a gun, an off-road vehicle, and a winged wolf. Each of these modes has their own functionality, including things like a trigger (that is, a little plastic panel that springs back after you pull on it) for his gun mode and his vague animal head which we're assured is a wolf.

:A completely absurd seventh mode was created for the ''Headmasters'' animated series named "Wingwolf"—and the toy can actually be configured into this form. It is effectively just an in-between transformation using various configurations from other modes to create... well... something. The idea was that this mode was more powerful because it accessed all the different powers of each of his other modes.

:The toy came with instructions that were sealed by a sticker, challenging the owner to figure out all the toy's modes without help. It really wasn't that hard, honestly—although the instructions (and packaging photos) actually managed to get the car mode wrong, neglecting to mention the additional rotation of the arms necessary to complete it. There are also a pair of extra holes inside Sixshot's legs into which his hypersonic concussion blasters can fit—presumably, this was the intended location for the weapons in gun mode, but the instructions and photos place them on the outside of the legs, in the same position as tank mode, which in turn was how the gun mode appeared in both the American and Japanese animated series.

:Sadly, despite his five alternate modes, robot-mode Sixshot is a [[brick (term)|brick]], having the same amount of useful articulation as a [[Mini Vehicle]], which is a much smaller and cheaper toy. Bad [[Hasbro]].

: Sixshot was not released in the UK, although Quickswitch would see a release the following year.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed to make [[Greatshot]], which was later used as the basis for the non-''Transformers'' series character '''Shadowmaru''' (see Notes).

[[Image:BraveShadowmaruKagerouModels.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Go ninjas, go ninjas, go! Shadowmaru is on the left.]]
* Sixshot's appearance in "The Rebirth" is an extreme case of [[To sell toys|marketing influencing the fiction]], as he shows off his [[Six Changer|six modes]] and how cool and badass he is in the space of approximately forty seconds. Sadly, he was not seen again in any of the three parts, not even in the background, and only had one spoken line.
* The Autobot Six Changer [[Quickswitch]] might be Sixshot's [[Relatives|son]].
* According to the information from ''Comic Bom-Bom'', Sixshot owns the [[Matrix of Evil]] in Japanese Generation 1 continuity, thus making a contrast to the [[Matrix of Leadership]] owned by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]].
* The Sixshot (or, more accurately, Greatshot) mold was later retooled to make the heroic "Ninja Detective" '''[http://youtu.be/ZLYgYX7IxLA Shadowmaru]''' for Takara's ''[[Brave]] Police J-Decker'' toyline. Amusingly, while the other 5 forms are of standard size for the series (assuming 5 meters in robot mode), his size for gun mode [http://youtu.be/9tRBr-FZZ0k was increased] to the point that, in ''Transformers'' terms, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] could use him for an oversized rifle. Shadowmaru also had a prototype "brother", '''Kagerō''', who could only change into three forms. He was not produced as a toy.

{{factions|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Cosmos}}
:''Cosmos is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:G1CosmosColorModel.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He can trounce any Sharkticon in a pie-eating contest.]]
Fast and intelligent, bored and lonely, '''Cosmos''' has reason to regret his abilities, which often separate him from his [[Autobot]] friends. Alas, his skills are far too extraordinary to ignore.

Few of his faction can achieve escape velocity and enter planetary orbit unaided, as he can, from planets as big as [[Earth]] or slightly larger. He carries fuel reserves sufficient for short orbital journeys; he is quite able to land on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], then take off and return to Earth. Cosmos enjoys such diversions immensely. Generally, however, he remains in orbit, relaying messages, observing enemy installations, and watching for [[Decepticon]] activity in nearby space. His optical sensors are able to observe a human radio host standing outside in the high desert from 600 miles up.

As a living [[Transformer]], his advantage over a simple satellite is great, but it is a boring life for Cosmos. Every so often he breaks the monotony by hovering eerily above the backyards of Earth citizens, drifting silently behind the cars of lone drivers with his running lights on, or briefly jamming TV transmissions with reruns of ''The Outer Limits''. He has also been known to zigzag through meteor showers on a clear night, showing off his space piloting skills. Naturally, this causes some consternation to the poor humans he is supposed to defend, but it's all in good fun. [[Primus]] save us from bored techies.

[[Image:MMP2 Cosmos at controls.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Stop bugging me! I've almost beaten ''Undefined Fantastic Object''!]]
Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of Cosmos, Autobot deep-space reconnaissance officer. His continuing mission—to observe Decepticon activities. To provide intelligence to the Autobots in their never ending war. To boldly crash where no other Autobot has crashed before.

Our hero began his adventures with a bang, appearing out of nowhere to blindly lead the Autobot spacecraft straight into the sun. If not for the impetuous [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] trying to change their course and realizing the controls were locked, Cosmos would have had the greatest crash of all. Still, he did his best to save his fellow Autobots in the end, as his deep space armor allowed Cosmos to come inside the ship and continue poking vainly at the control panel long after the others collapsed from their circuits overheating. [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]'s force field eventually saved the Autobots, and they managed to vacate the crumbling ship inside a massive force sphere, tethered to Cosmos to bring them back to Earth. Cosmos's knack for crashing almost did them in anyhow, though — the same reprogrammed guidance directives that were controlling their ship were now being beamed by [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]] to Cosmos himself, forcing him to lead the force sphere back on a course into the sun. Only the freak chance of the Decepticon [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] visiting the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and blowing up Teletraan I on a whim saved the Autobots, and allowed Cosmos to begin towing them back to Earth. Even though time was of the essence, we can only assume Cosmos didn't crash-land upon re-entry. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}}

[[Image:Blasterbluesonthemoon.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I choose Bachelor #2!]]
When next seen, Cosmos was patrolling the spaceways for Decepticon activity with [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] (probably as a punishment for actually liking Blaster's taste in music) when they came across a [[Decepticon moonbase|lunar base]] being run by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. Against logic and precedent, Cosmos actually managed to make a perfect two point landing on a hillside near the base to eavesdrop. Enraged at Cosmos for defying all expectations and NOT crashing (not to mention the, uh... spying he was doing), Megatron ordered Astrotrain to bring him in as a prisoner. Prisoners of war, Cosmos and Blaster were then welded to the wall and used as a power booster and tuning mechanism for Megatron's trans-scrambler, wiping out all radio contact on Earth. Luckily, Blaster managed to send his own signal along Megatron's scrambling beam, alerting the Autobots to their location. [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] arrived and drew the Decepticons' attention away from their base. Left alone, Cosmos had to do little more than raise his arm to fire off a particle beam that totally destroyed Megatron's antenna array and saved the day, teaching tyrants everywhere once and for all not to underestimate an Autobot just because he's short, fat, ugly, lonely, nerdy and more than a little (Dare we say it?) spacey... {{storylink|Blaster Blues}}

[[Image:Gambittitans%26cosmos.jpg|left|250px|thumb|I told you we should have gone hunting turkeys, but nooooooo...]]
Possibly Cosmos's shining moment was one for most of which he wasn't even conscious. Cosmos crash-landed rather dramatically on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] after being shot down by the pursuing Astrotrain, who was after the energy data the Autobot carried. Cosmos's body was discovered by [[Titan (species)|the moon's natives]], but Astrotrain quickly followed up, having overheard their superstitious discussion and set himself up as one of their [[Sky God]]s. The cowed, religious people quickly obeyed him, and Astrotrain put Cosmos's body in the main temple for use as an idol. The rebel [[Talaria]] overheard Astrotrain musing to himself about Cosmos's short-circuit and managed to use Cosmos's systems to get an SOS to the Autobots on [[Earth]]. With barely enough power flowing through his systems to stay active, Cosmos found a better use for it: shooting [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. With the Decepticon occupied for the moment, Talaria was able to escape unmolested. [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] were dispatched to Titan via Omega Supreme, and Cosmos was recovered, the Decepticons sent packing, and the Titans were freed from religious dogma. {{storylink|The God Gambit}}

Somehow, Cosmos managed to talk [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into letting him serve on Earth for a while as part of the Autobots' joint Crimebuster program with the NYPD. He observed a traffic jam while hovering over Times Square, and later tried to chase down Starscream on foot with [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], only to end up causing massive structural damage to a human mall. Incidentally, Cosmos was back in space very shortly. {{storylink|Make Tracks}}

[[Image:QuestForSurvival Cosmos ejects escape pod.jpg|right|240px|thumb|"Hang on while I jettison my head."]]
After [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] and [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] pumped out hundreds of [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticlones]] to swarm over the countryside and gather power, Prime sent Cosmos into space to retrieve a giant can of [[robotic insecticide]]. (Really — we can't make this stuff up.) On his way back with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]], though, Cosmos was attacked by [[Morphobot]]s on [[Floron III]]. Although he managed to break loose of their grip, the techno-organic plants left behind spores on his hull which quickly developed into fully functioning vines that entangled Cosmos as he tried to re-enter Earth's atmosphere. Spike and Bumblebee escaped in an ejector chamber, but Cosmos did his crash-landing bit and was covered in Morphobots by the time he came to a stop, with the robotic insecticide can still inside him. Bumblebee summoned the other Autobots to try and help, and it was Blaster's obnoxious music that ultimately cleared the way and allowed them to free Cosmos. [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] promised to give Cosmos "the best overhaul he'd ever had" when they got back to the Ark. Uh-huh... niiiiiice... {{storylink|Quest for Survival}}

[[Image:Cosmos in space.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Good evening, citizens of Earth.]]
When he uncovered a Decepticon operation to mine ore from an asteroid they'd pulled into orbit, Cosmos rushed back to warn Prime and gather a strike force. Optimus stressed caution instead and ordered Cosmos back up into space to acquire some hard evidence on the Decepticon activity. Cosmos did as he was asked and actually managed to grab a sample of ore right out of Astrotrain while the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] were loading him up. He brought this "hard evidence" back to Earth to show Prime. The Autobot leader commended Cosmos on his work, but he wasn't quite done and sent Cosmos back out into orbit yet again, this time to track Astrotrain to the refinery the Decepticons must have been using to process the ore. Prime loves his outer space yo-yo. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

When [[Seaspray (G1)|Seaspray]] intercepted a distress signal, Cosmos carried him, Bumblebee and Perceptor to the planet of the [[Tlalakan]]s, a humanoid race held captive by the Decepticons. Too late, they realized that it was a Decepticon distress call. Droids blasted Cosmos, who (surprise, surprise) crashed on the planet. He remained damaged for a time, too much so to participate in many of the Autobots' adventures on the planet. {{storylink|Sea Change}}

Overflying [[Chumley|Lord Chumley]]'s castle, Cosmos reported back to headquarters that he'd found the Autobots who'd gone missing. He was able to transmit footage of the captives being subjected to Chumley's fiendish torture devices and report his coordinates to Teletraan I, but his transmission was cut off by Chumley himself, who invited Optimus to try and save his friends. {{storylink|Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target}}

Cosmos, once again teamed with Blaster, scoured the universe for more [[Ingredient X]] so that Perceptor could concoct more [[corrostop]]. One can only imagine how many moons and planets he bravely crash-landed on in his fruitless search. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

[[Image:GrimlocksNewBrain Cosmos and SkyLynx crashed.jpg|right|250px|thumb|By season 3 he'd crashed so much he'd gone off-model.]]
After the Autobots retook Cybertron, Cosmos was on the planet monitoring incoming space traffic with [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and Blaster. The planet was locked down due to the threat of an imminent attack, but an incoming human shuttle reported a mayday, and Kup ordered Cosmos to let it land. Unfortunately it was a trick, and they watched it crash into Cybertron's central power facility, disabling the planetary defences. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

Some time later, Cosmos was late flying in to Cybertron with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] to see the activation of the new power platform. On his entry vector, Cosmos was blasted with [[anti-electron]]s, a dangerous substance designed to disrupt his normal operating functions. However, the anti-electrons seemed to have no effect on Cosmos at all, as moments later he crashlanded on Cybertron's surface. Perfectly normal. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Smeltingpoolminivehicles.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Apparently Cosmos never bothered to get an Earth mode.]]
Cosmos was a member of [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]'s [[Cybertron Seven|resistance cell]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Like most of the cell, he had a stronger respect for their top fighter [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] than Perceptor, and along with the other Autobots overruled Perceptor's order not to search for Blaster's missing friend [[Scrounge (G1)|Scrounge]]. In the [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]], Cosmos provided some life-giving fuel to ol' [[Wheezel]] for information, only to find that Scrounge had been taken away to [[Darkmount]] by the Decepticon [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]]. Realizing Scrounge was probably dead already in the [[smelting pool]], Blaster went after his buddy anyway, and Cosmos and the others had to come after him and save his hide (video evidence of Cosmos' rampage through Darkmount is still used to scare Decepticon recruits). Though Scrounge died, the Autobots managed to retrieve the last data from his infobanks, and learned that [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the crew of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] were alive and well on the planet [[Earth]]! {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}}

[[Image:Cosmosisakillingmachine.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Cosmos kills and kills and kills.]]
Galvanized by this knowledge, the Autobots planned a daring assault on [[Straxus (G1)|Lord Straxus]], planning to destroy both his seat of power at Darkmount and the new [[space bridge]] allowing transit to Earth. Darkmount was destroyed, but the Decepticons interrupted Blaster before he could finish setting the charges on the bridge. Instead, Cosmos, Blaster, and the rest of their unit were chased over the other side, and found themselves stuck on planet Earth. Here they were greeted immediately by a group of humans. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}

However, the humans, belonging to the anti-robot attack team, [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]], captured Cosmos and the others with the help of [[Circuit Breaker]]. Disassembled, the Autobots were only released after Circuit Breaker was forced to elicit their aid to defeat the [[Battlecharger]]s. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

''Following [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] back to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Cosmos and the others got lost after their guide spontaneously vanished into [[limbo]]. Even worse was the reason for the disappearance—[[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had returned to the present. Unfortunately, Cosmos was punched out of the sky by Galvatron, and joined the rest of his comrades in defeat.'' {{storylink|Fallen Angel (issue)|Fallen Angel}} ''After Galvatron was forced into retreat by the vagrant [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], Perceptor's team finally managed to reach the Ark, where they learned of Optimus Prime's apparent demise at the hands of the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. Cosmos attended Prime's funeral and assimilated into Earth's depleted Autobot forces, though it was soon revealed that Prime's death was a ruse.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

[[Image:Blasterbeourleaderplease.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"Is this the line for the mutiny?"]]When Optimus Prime died ''(for real)'' after a digital battle with [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], Cosmos observed with the other Autobots as [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] failed to successfully repair their fallen leader. After attending Prime's ''(real)'' funeral, a criminal known as the [[Mechanic (G1)|Mechanic]] turned the Ark's new security systems on the mourning Autobots, with devastating results. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], Prime's successor, turned out to be a self-interested tyrant, but he did help get the Ark repaired and off of Earth, a large process that Cosmos contributed towards. {{storylink|Child's Play (issue)|Child's Play}} Nevertheless, Cosmos was among the Autobots who begged Blaster to overthrow him, stating that the Autobots needed a "leader whose wires are connected," but the mutiny didn't pan out. Instead, Cosmos witnessed Grimlock's mock-execution of some [[Spacehikers|young human prisoners]]. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}}

Later, Blaster and Grimlock battled for supremacy on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], as Cosmos and the other Autobots cheered Blaster on. This event took an even uglier turn when [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] led the Decepticons in an ambush. Cosmos was seen facing down [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] in the battle that followed, and by its conclusion Cosmos was among the Autobots still standing. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

Some time after Optimus Prime's return, Cosmos was among several Autobots who responded to [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]'s distress call near the Decepticons' [[Club Con|arctic base]]. Cosmos watched as this scene once again turned into another battle with the Decepticons! {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

''Cosmos was part of a team brought to Earth by [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] to investigate why [[Autobot City]] was taken off-line, only to run into heavy [[Quintesson]] opposition.

Cosmos was sent to investigate signs of [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]]'s presence and discovered a [[Anti-gravity base|Decepticon Base]]. ''He was captured, and [[Hook (G1)|Hook]] built a perfect [[Replica Cosmos|replica of Cosmos]] with a bomb inside, using information from Cosmos' own memories to send him to Optimus Prime.''

''Cosmos escaped with a surprising lack of difficulty and hurried to intercept his replica, arriving almost simultaneously. In the end, Cosmos was able to convince [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] he was the real deal, and the replica was destroyed.''

The Autobots stormed the base, and Cosmos acquitted himself bravely against Dirge in battle, despite being badly outclassed. What a hero! {{storylink|Desert Flight}}

===Transformers in 3-D===
Cosmos happened on space station [[Exton-9]], under attack by the Decepticons, and encountered five children. The children believe that their only chance of freeing their families from the Decepticon [[suspension-ray beam]] was to travel to [[Andellor]] to obtain the [[Prism of Power]], and they persuaded Cosmos to take them there. After avoiding some [[space vulture]]s, the small Autobot ran into [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Octane]], who insisted he lead them to Andellor. With no other choice, Cosmos complied, but with the help of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and Andellor's native fauna, managed to lose the trio.

After obtaining the Prism, he flew Ironhide and the children back to Exton-9 and kept [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] busy while the kids used the crystal. Cosmos later returned the Prism to Andellor. {{storylink|Transformers in 3-D issue 2|Transformers in 3-D #2}}

Cosmos was briefly caught up in the Universe war while aboard the starship [[OTFCC (ship)|OTFCC]] with [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]]. A spatial vortex created by [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] pulled them into conflict over a frozen planetoid with the [[Minions of Unicron]]. Autobots and [[Maximal]]s from several time periods and universal streams joined forces and repulsed the Minions. Afterwards, Cosmos and his comrades were returned to their proper space/time. {{storylink|Voice Actor Drama|OTFCC 2004 Live-Action Script Reading}}

Cosmos was one of many Autobots who rose up and took arms against [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] after Optimus Prime and the Ark's crew returned to Cybertron to lead the population in revolt against the Decepticon's corrupt rule. He joined up with a resistance cell under [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] and [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], and fought alongside his comrades in the insurrection. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Afterward, Cosmos was placed under [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]'s command during a supply run to Earth aboard the starship ''[[Orion (ship)|Orion]]''. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} Their mission led them into an uncomfortable alliance with [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] against an even greater evil — the super-powered clone known as [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. Starscream turned on them first chance he got, of course, and Cosmos was one of the Autobots he knocked off-line while making his escape. {{storylink|The Omega Effect}} [[Ratchet (G1)|Doc Ratchet]] had Cosmos fixed up in a few days, though, and he was last seen helping with the construction of [[Autobot City]] on Earth. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
[[Image:Beastformers GIJoe.jpg|left|250px|thumb| The words "Flying Hamburger" do come to mind.]]
Cosmos was stationed on Earth, part of a small detachment under [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s command. In cooperation with [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] and [[Firewall]], the team worked to round up stray Cybertronian technology on Earth. When an emergency came up, he arrived over [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]'s back yard to beam him aboard and carried him to the ''[[Arc II]]''. Cosmos then joined Prowl's team on a mission to capture [[Destro]] and some of his arms-purchasing clients; Cosmos himself lassoed the buyer, then evacuated the squad before the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] team could arrive.

Later, when the submerged ''Arc II'' was attacked by the [[Pretender Monster]]s, Cosmos dodged the giant organic craft that had flown the Decepticons there. [[Eject]] brought [[Firewall]] to the water's surface, where Cosmos picked her up. The two headed for [[Tibet]] to help out the team under Optimus Prime's command. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2}}

On arrival, though, all they found was snow-blown mountain wastes, until something grabbed Firewall and pulled her below ground. Shortly afterward, an avalanche swept Cosmos away. Recovering, Cosmos searched near and far for Firewall, but finally came upon [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] and [[Joe Colton]], holding off a band of [[Yeti]]; his firepower quickly turned the tide of the fight.

Then, Cosmos and his best mate Flint flew into space and down the attacking [[Unicron]]'s throat, intending to kill him with a [[Metal-eating spore|metal-eating fungus]] from [[Cobra-La]]. They dodged the planet-eater's "[[Beastformer|anti-bodies]]" on the way to his brain, but Cosmos was eventually paralyzed by a magnetic pulse, which meant Flint had to carry out the mission on his own. By the time he had spread the spores into Unicron's brain, Cosmos had recovered and sped out of there with Flint before everything came crashing down. After getting confused by Flint's jokes about Unicron's demise, he returned to Earth and shook hands with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2}}

===IDW comics continuity===
In the early days of the war, Cosmos was part of the detail that helped [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] off a transport ship after his successful rescue of [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] from the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Jazz}}

Sometime later, he was seen chatting with his comrades [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] during a victory celebration. {{storylink|The Iron Age}}

In modern times, after Blaster was found alive and well, Cosmos was one of many Autobots who traveled to the [[Autobot Orbital Command Hub|Hub]] to see "The Voice" again with his own optics. His appearance alongside [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] suggested that Cosmos was part of that Autobot's counter-insurgency unit. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}} Later, he helped defend [[Garrus-9]] when [[Nova Prime|Nemesis Prime]] broke in to challenge his [[Optimus Prime (G1)|successor]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}}

[[Image:InternationalIncident4_Cosmos_on_nuke.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Cue ''[[wikipedia:Dr. Strangelove|Dr. Strangelove]]'' reference.]]
Cosmos had joined the Autobot ranks on Earth by the time they forged a secret alliance with [[Skywatch]]. When the Autobots did battle with the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] in [[North Korea]]—a mission where secrecy was of utmost importance—Cosmos was sent into space to keep human satellites from spotting them. He successfully hacked the five satellites watching the area into broadcasting a loop of ordinary farmers instead. {{storylink|International Incident Part 3: "Hawk Among the Sparrows"}}

Unfortunately, this meant Skywatch couldn't oversee the battle ''either'', so when the situation got complicated, Cosmos was ordered to free up one satellite for them to use. He grumbled a bit about how his job wasn't exactly a piece of cake, but these orders turned out to be nothing compared to his next mission: redirecting a nuclear warhead already on its way towards North Korea. As Cosmos began rewiring the missile in mid-flight, he commented that he really deserved some more respect for his efforts. Thanks to his intervention, the nuke detonated safely in the Arctic Circle. {{storylink|International Incident Part 4: "All My Sins Remembered"}}

Remaining in orbit, Cosmos was later joined by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], and together they turned a Skywatch communications satellite into a weapon by dropping it through the atmosphere at Mach 10 right on top of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. He survived the impact with just a few scratches, but still, they tried. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 5: Enemy Mine}}

Cosmos was among the Autobots who left Earth behind to return to a restored Cybertron. On the way, he and many others stared in disbelief and fascination at Megatron, who was in Autobot captivity on board [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Classics cosmos concept.gif|right|165px|thumb|What could have been...]]
*The creative team went through multiple preliminary names before settling on Cosmos, including '''Spaceracer''', then '''Spaceshot''' and then '''[[Shooting Star]]'''.[http://web.archive.org/web/20071230210811/http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41003]

* [[Michael McConnohie]]'s voice for Cosmos is a heavily processed impression of film star [[Peter Lorre]]. More precisely, McConnohie has stated in his [[BotCon]] appearances that he was doing an ''intentionally bad'' impression of Peter Lorre, which he sheepishly admitted came off sounding like a [[Accents|Spanish accent]] at times. (Until the source of Cosmos's voice was confirmed, fans would sometimes speculate that Cosmos sounded Spanish.)

* It is presumed that Cosmos's Japanese name, '''Adams''', is derived from that of [http://www.ufopsi.com/articles/georgeadamski.html George '''Adams'''ki], who provided the famous flying saucer design after which Cosmos was modeled.

* Early Japanese promotional material shows Cosmos with a blue body rather than his final green. The toy would see release in this coloration much, much, ''much'' later as [[Path Finder]].

[[Image:CosmosConcept.jpg|right|165px|thumb|What could have been if he'd only found the salad bar...]]
* Concept art of a ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' version of Cosmos was shown at [[BotCon 2006]], but the design was rejected because higher-ups felt the vehicle mode was too "boring". Many fans were pleasantly shocked they even ''considered'' making a new Cosmos. The art was later printed as part of the supplementary material in the ''[[Stormbringer (comics)|Stormbringer]]'' trade paperback. Despite the rejection, it remained on the development team's "look into this" file should they revisit the ''Classics'' line in the future. True to their word, the design was moved to the ''Titanium'' Cybertron Heroes line of die-cast metal transforming toys, but with the cancellation of the ''Transformers'' portion of this franchise, the Cosmos design exists only as a resin prototype that was on display during the Hasbro tour portion of [[BotCon 2007]].

* Cosmos's Generation 1 concept art isn't terribly out of the ordinary, but it's also pretty badass.

* Where did he scan his alternate mode, again?

{{factions|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Cosmos}}
:''Cosmos is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:G1CosmosColorModel.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He can trounce any Sharkticon in a pie-eating contest.]]
Fast and intelligent, bored and lonely, '''Cosmos''' has reason to regret his abilities, which often separate him from his [[Autobot]] friends. Alas, his skills are far too extraordinary to ignore.

Few of his faction can achieve escape velocity and enter planetary orbit unaided, as he can, from planets as big as [[Earth]] or slightly larger. He carries fuel reserves sufficient for short orbital journeys; he is quite able to land on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], then take off and return to Earth. Cosmos enjoys such diversions immensely. Generally, however, he remains in orbit, relaying messages, observing enemy installations, and watching for [[Decepticon]] activity in nearby space. His optical sensors are able to observe a human radio host standing outside in the high desert from 600 miles up.

As a living [[Transformer]], his advantage over a simple satellite is great, but it is a boring life for Cosmos. Every so often he breaks the monotony by hovering eerily above the backyards of Earth citizens, drifting silently behind the cars of lone drivers with his running lights on, or briefly jamming TV transmissions with reruns of ''The Outer Limits''. He has also been known to zigzag through meteor showers on a clear night, showing off his space piloting skills. Naturally, this causes some consternation to the poor humans he is supposed to defend, but it's all in good fun. [[Primus]] save us from bored techies.

[[Image:MMP2 Cosmos at controls.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Stop bugging me! I've almost beaten ''Undefined Fantastic Object''!]]
Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of Cosmos, Autobot deep-space reconnaissance officer. His continuing mission—to observe Decepticon activities. To provide intelligence to the Autobots in their never ending war. To boldly crash where no other Autobot has crashed before.

Our hero began his adventures with a bang, appearing out of nowhere to blindly lead the Autobot spacecraft straight into the sun. If not for the impetuous [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] trying to change their course and realizing the controls were locked, Cosmos would have had the greatest crash of all. Still, he did his best to save his fellow Autobots in the end, as his deep space armor allowed Cosmos to come inside the ship and continue poking vainly at the control panel long after the others collapsed from their circuits overheating. [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]'s force field eventually saved the Autobots, and they managed to vacate the crumbling ship inside a massive force sphere, tethered to Cosmos to bring them back to Earth. Cosmos's knack for crashing almost did them in anyhow, though — the same reprogrammed guidance directives that were controlling their ship were now being beamed by [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]] to Cosmos himself, forcing him to lead the force sphere back on a course into the sun. Only the freak chance of the Decepticon [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] visiting the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and blowing up Teletraan I on a whim saved the Autobots, and allowed Cosmos to begin towing them back to Earth. Even though time was of the essence, we can only assume Cosmos didn't crash-land upon re-entry. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}}

[[Image:Blasterbluesonthemoon.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I choose Bachelor #2!]]
When next seen, Cosmos was patrolling the spaceways for Decepticon activity with [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] (probably as a punishment for actually liking Blaster's taste in music) when they came across a [[Decepticon moonbase|lunar base]] being run by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. Against logic and precedent, Cosmos actually managed to make a perfect two point landing on a hillside near the base to eavesdrop. Enraged at Cosmos for defying all expectations and NOT crashing (not to mention the, uh... spying he was doing), Megatron ordered Astrotrain to bring him in as a prisoner. Prisoners of war, Cosmos and Blaster were then welded to the wall and used as a power booster and tuning mechanism for Megatron's trans-scrambler, wiping out all radio contact on Earth. Luckily, Blaster managed to send his own signal along Megatron's scrambling beam, alerting the Autobots to their location. [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] arrived and drew the Decepticons' attention away from their base. Left alone, Cosmos had to do little more than raise his arm to fire off a particle beam that totally destroyed Megatron's antenna array and saved the day, teaching tyrants everywhere once and for all not to underestimate an Autobot just because he's short, fat, ugly, lonely, nerdy and more than a little (Dare we say it?) spacey... {{storylink|Blaster Blues}}

[[Image:Gambittitans%26cosmos.jpg|left|250px|thumb|I told you we should have gone hunting turkeys, but nooooooo...]]
Possibly Cosmos's shining moment was one for most of which he wasn't even conscious. Cosmos crash-landed rather dramatically on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] after being shot down by the pursuing Astrotrain, who was after the energy data the Autobot carried. Cosmos's body was discovered by [[Titan (species)|the moon's natives]], but Astrotrain quickly followed up, having overheard their superstitious discussion and set himself up as one of their [[Sky God]]s. The cowed, religious people quickly obeyed him, and Astrotrain put Cosmos's body in the main temple for use as an idol. The rebel [[Talaria]] overheard Astrotrain musing to himself about Cosmos's short-circuit and managed to use Cosmos's systems to get an SOS to the Autobots on [[Earth]]. With barely enough power flowing through his systems to stay active, Cosmos found a better use for it: shooting [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. With the Decepticon occupied for the moment, Talaria was able to escape unmolested. [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] were dispatched to Titan via Omega Supreme, and Cosmos was recovered, the Decepticons sent packing, and the Titans were freed from religious dogma. {{storylink|The God Gambit}}

Somehow, Cosmos managed to talk [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into letting him serve on Earth for a while as part of the Autobots' joint Crimebuster program with the NYPD. He observed a traffic jam while hovering over Times Square, and later tried to chase down Starscream on foot with [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], only to end up causing massive structural damage to a human mall. Incidentally, Cosmos was back in space very shortly. {{storylink|Make Tracks}}

[[Image:QuestForSurvival Cosmos ejects escape pod.jpg|right|240px|thumb|"Hang on while I jettison my head."]]
After [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] and [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] pumped out hundreds of [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticlones]] to swarm over the countryside and gather power, Prime sent Cosmos into space to retrieve a giant can of [[robotic insecticide]]. (Really — we can't make this stuff up.) On his way back with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]], though, Cosmos was attacked by [[Morphobot]]s on [[Floron III]]. Although he managed to break loose of their grip, the techno-organic plants left behind spores on his hull which quickly developed into fully functioning vines that entangled Cosmos as he tried to re-enter Earth's atmosphere. Spike and Bumblebee escaped in an ejector chamber, but Cosmos did his crash-landing bit and was covered in Morphobots by the time he came to a stop, with the robotic insecticide can still inside him. Bumblebee summoned the other Autobots to try and help, and it was Blaster's obnoxious music that ultimately cleared the way and allowed them to free Cosmos. [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] promised to give Cosmos "the best overhaul he'd ever had" when they got back to the Ark. Uh-huh... niiiiiice... {{storylink|Quest for Survival}}

[[Image:Cosmos in space.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Good evening, citizens of Earth.]]
When he uncovered a Decepticon operation to mine ore from an asteroid they'd pulled into orbit, Cosmos rushed back to warn Prime and gather a strike force. Optimus stressed caution instead and ordered Cosmos back up into space to acquire some hard evidence on the Decepticon activity. Cosmos did as he was asked and actually managed to grab a sample of ore right out of Astrotrain while the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] were loading him up. He brought this "hard evidence" back to Earth to show Prime. The Autobot leader commended Cosmos on his work, but he wasn't quite done and sent Cosmos back out into orbit yet again, this time to track Astrotrain to the refinery the Decepticons must have been using to process the ore. Prime loves his outer space yo-yo. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}

When [[Seaspray (G1)|Seaspray]] intercepted a distress signal, Cosmos carried him, Bumblebee and Perceptor to the planet of the [[Tlalakan]]s, a humanoid race held captive by the Decepticons. Too late, they realized that it was a Decepticon distress call. Droids blasted Cosmos, who (surprise, surprise) crashed on the planet. He remained damaged for a time, too much so to participate in many of the Autobots' adventures on the planet. {{storylink|Sea Change}}

Overflying [[Chumley|Lord Chumley]]'s castle, Cosmos reported back to headquarters that he'd found the Autobots who'd gone missing. He was able to transmit footage of the captives being subjected to Chumley's fiendish torture devices and report his coordinates to Teletraan I, but his transmission was cut off by Chumley himself, who invited Optimus to try and save his friends. {{storylink|Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target}}

Cosmos, once again teamed with Blaster, scoured the universe for more [[Ingredient X]] so that Perceptor could concoct more [[corrostop]]. One can only imagine how many moons and planets he bravely crash-landed on in his fruitless search. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

[[Image:GrimlocksNewBrain Cosmos and SkyLynx crashed.jpg|right|250px|thumb|By season 3 he'd crashed so much he'd gone off-model.]]
After the Autobots retook Cybertron, Cosmos was on the planet monitoring incoming space traffic with [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and Blaster. The planet was locked down due to the threat of an imminent attack, but an incoming human shuttle reported a mayday, and Kup ordered Cosmos to let it land. Unfortunately it was a trick, and they watched it crash into Cybertron's central power facility, disabling the planetary defences. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

Some time later, Cosmos was late flying in to Cybertron with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] to see the activation of the new power platform. On his entry vector, Cosmos was blasted with [[anti-electron]]s, a dangerous substance designed to disrupt his normal operating functions. However, the anti-electrons seemed to have no effect on Cosmos at all, as moments later he crashlanded on Cybertron's surface. Perfectly normal. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Smeltingpoolminivehicles.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Apparently Cosmos never bothered to get an Earth mode.]]
Cosmos was a member of [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]'s [[Cybertron Seven|resistance cell]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Like most of the cell, he had a stronger respect for their top fighter [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] than Perceptor, and along with the other Autobots overruled Perceptor's order not to search for Blaster's missing friend [[Scrounge (G1)|Scrounge]]. In the [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]], Cosmos provided some life-giving fuel to ol' [[Wheezel]] for information, only to find that Scrounge had been taken away to [[Darkmount]] by the Decepticon [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]]. Realizing Scrounge was probably dead already in the [[smelting pool]], Blaster went after his buddy anyway, and Cosmos and the others had to come after him and save his hide (video evidence of Cosmos' rampage through Darkmount is still used to scare Decepticon recruits). Though Scrounge died, the Autobots managed to retrieve the last data from his infobanks, and learned that [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the crew of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] were alive and well on the planet [[Earth]]! {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}}

[[Image:Cosmosisakillingmachine.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Cosmos kills and kills and kills.]]
Galvanized by this knowledge, the Autobots planned a daring assault on [[Straxus (G1)|Lord Straxus]], planning to destroy both his seat of power at Darkmount and the new [[space bridge]] allowing transit to Earth. Darkmount was destroyed, but the Decepticons interrupted Blaster before he could finish setting the charges on the bridge. Instead, Cosmos, Blaster, and the rest of their unit were chased over the other side, and found themselves stuck on planet Earth. Here they were greeted immediately by a group of humans. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}

However, the humans, belonging to the anti-robot attack team, [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]], captured Cosmos and the others with the help of [[Circuit Breaker]]. Disassembled, the Autobots were only released after Circuit Breaker was forced to elicit their aid to defeat the [[Battlecharger]]s. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

''Following [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] back to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Cosmos and the others got lost after their guide spontaneously vanished into [[limbo]]. Even worse was the reason for the disappearance—[[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had returned to the present. Unfortunately, Cosmos was punched out of the sky by Galvatron, and joined the rest of his comrades in defeat.'' {{storylink|Fallen Angel (issue)|Fallen Angel}} ''After Galvatron was forced into retreat by the vagrant [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], Perceptor's team finally managed to reach the Ark, where they learned of Optimus Prime's apparent demise at the hands of the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. Cosmos attended Prime's funeral and assimilated into Earth's depleted Autobot forces, though it was soon revealed that Prime's death was a ruse.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

[[Image:Blasterbeourleaderplease.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"Is this the line for the mutiny?"]]When Optimus Prime died ''(for real)'' after a digital battle with [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], Cosmos observed with the other Autobots as [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] failed to successfully repair their fallen leader. After attending Prime's ''(real)'' funeral, a criminal known as the [[Mechanic (G1)|Mechanic]] turned the Ark's new security systems on the mourning Autobots, with devastating results. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], Prime's successor, turned out to be a self-interested tyrant, but he did help get the Ark repaired and off of Earth, a large process that Cosmos contributed towards. {{storylink|Child's Play (issue)|Child's Play}} Nevertheless, Cosmos was among the Autobots who begged Blaster to overthrow him, stating that the Autobots needed a "leader whose wires are connected," but the mutiny didn't pan out. Instead, Cosmos witnessed Grimlock's mock-execution of some [[Spacehikers|young human prisoners]]. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}}

Later, Blaster and Grimlock battled for supremacy on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], as Cosmos and the other Autobots cheered Blaster on. This event took an even uglier turn when [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] led the Decepticons in an ambush. Cosmos was seen facing down [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] in the battle that followed, and by its conclusion Cosmos was among the Autobots still standing. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

Some time after Optimus Prime's return, Cosmos was among several Autobots who responded to [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]]'s distress call near the Decepticons' [[Club Con|arctic base]]. Cosmos watched as this scene once again turned into another battle with the Decepticons! {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
''Cosmos was part of a team brought to Earth by [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] to investigate why [[Autobot City]] was taken off-line, only to run into heavy [[Quintesson]] opposition. Luckily, no matter the continuity, [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] is their kinda town!'' {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

Cosmos was sent to investigate signs of [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]]'s presence and discovered a [[Anti-gravity base|Decepticon Base]]. ''He was captured, and [[Hook (G1)|Hook]] built a perfect [[Replica Cosmos|replica of Cosmos]] with a bomb inside, using information from Cosmos' own memories to send him to Optimus Prime.''

''Cosmos escaped with a surprising lack of difficulty and hurried to intercept his replica, arriving almost simultaneously. In the end, Cosmos was able to convince [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] he was the real deal, and the replica was destroyed.''

The Autobots stormed the base, and Cosmos acquitted himself bravely against Dirge in battle, despite being badly outclassed. What a hero! {{storylink|Desert Flight}}

===Transformers in 3-D===
Cosmos happened on space station [[Exton-9]], under attack by the Decepticons, and encountered five children. The children believe that their only chance of freeing their families from the Decepticon [[suspension-ray beam]] was to travel to [[Andellor]] to obtain the [[Prism of Power]], and they persuaded Cosmos to take them there. After avoiding some [[space vulture]]s, the small Autobot ran into [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Octane]], who insisted he lead them to Andellor. With no other choice, Cosmos complied, but with the help of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and Andellor's native fauna, managed to lose the trio.

After obtaining the Prism, he flew Ironhide and the children back to Exton-9 and kept [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] busy while the kids used the crystal. Cosmos later returned the Prism to Andellor. {{storylink|Transformers in 3-D issue 2|Transformers in 3-D #2}}

Cosmos was briefly caught up in the Universe war while aboard the starship [[OTFCC (ship)|OTFCC]] with [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]]. A spatial vortex created by [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] pulled them into conflict over a frozen planetoid with the [[Minions of Unicron]]. Autobots and [[Maximal]]s from several time periods and universal streams joined forces and repulsed the Minions. Afterwards, Cosmos and his comrades were returned to their proper space/time. {{storylink|Voice Actor Drama|OTFCC 2004 Live-Action Script Reading}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[Image:Countdown to Extinction Minibots pre-battle.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Powerglide, we all have our opinions, I just think Undefined Fantastic Object is better than Perfect Cherry Blossom.]]
Cosmos was one of many Autobots who rose up and took arms against [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] after Optimus Prime and the Ark's crew returned to Cybertron to lead the population in revolt against the Decepticon's corrupt rule. He joined up with a resistance cell under [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] and [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], and fought alongside his comrades in the insurrection. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Afterward, Cosmos was placed under [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]'s command during a supply run to Earth aboard the starship ''[[Orion (ship)|Orion]]''. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} Their mission led them into an uncomfortable alliance with [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] against an even greater evil — the super-powered clone known as [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. Starscream turned on them first chance he got, of course, and Cosmos was one of the Autobots he knocked off-line while making his escape. {{storylink|The Omega Effect}} [[Ratchet (G1)|Doc Ratchet]] had Cosmos fixed up in a few days, though, and he was last seen helping with the construction of [[Autobot City]] on Earth. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
[[Image:Beastformers GIJoe.jpg|left|250px|thumb| The words "Flying Hamburger" do come to mind.]]
Cosmos was stationed on Earth, part of a small detachment under [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s command. In cooperation with [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] and [[Firewall]], the team worked to round up stray Cybertronian technology on Earth. When an emergency came up, he arrived over [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]'s back yard to beam him aboard and carried him to the ''[[Arc II]]''. Cosmos then joined Prowl's team on a mission to capture [[Destro]] and some of his arms-purchasing clients; Cosmos himself lassoed the buyer, then evacuated the squad before the [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] team could arrive.

Later, when the submerged ''Arc II'' was attacked by the [[Pretender Monster]]s, Cosmos dodged the giant organic craft that had flown the Decepticons there. [[Eject]] brought [[Firewall]] to the water's surface, where Cosmos picked her up. The two headed for [[Tibet]] to help out the team under Optimus Prime's command. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2}}

On arrival, though, all they found was snow-blown mountain wastes, until something grabbed Firewall and pulled her below ground. Shortly afterward, an avalanche swept Cosmos away. Recovering, Cosmos searched near and far for Firewall, but finally came upon [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] and [[Joe Colton]], holding off a band of [[Yeti]]; his firepower quickly turned the tide of the fight.

Then, Cosmos and his best mate Flint flew into space and down the attacking [[Unicron]]'s throat, intending to kill him with a [[Metal-eating spore|metal-eating fungus]] from [[Cobra-La]]. They dodged the planet-eater's "[[Beastformer|anti-bodies]]" on the way to his brain, but Cosmos was eventually paralyzed by a magnetic pulse, which meant Flint had to carry out the mission on his own. By the time he had spread the spores into Unicron's brain, Cosmos had recovered and sped out of there with Flint before everything came crashing down. After getting confused by Flint's jokes about Unicron's demise, he returned to Earth and shook hands with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2}}

===IDW comics continuity===
In the early days of the war, Cosmos was part of the detail that helped [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] off a transport ship after his successful rescue of [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] from the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Jazz}}

Sometime later, he was seen chatting with his comrades [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] during a victory celebration. {{storylink|The Iron Age}}

In modern times, after Blaster was found alive and well, Cosmos was one of many Autobots who traveled to the [[Autobot Orbital Command Hub|Hub]] to see "The Voice" again with his own optics. His appearance alongside [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] suggested that Cosmos was part of that Autobot's counter-insurgency unit. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}} Later, he helped defend [[Garrus-9]] when [[Nova Prime|Nemesis Prime]] broke in to challenge his [[Optimus Prime (G1)|successor]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}}

[[Image:InternationalIncident4_Cosmos_on_nuke.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Cue ''[[wikipedia:Dr. Strangelove|Dr. Strangelove]]'' reference.]]
Cosmos had joined the Autobot ranks on Earth by the time they forged a secret alliance with [[Skywatch]]. When the Autobots did battle with the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] in [[North Korea]]—a mission where secrecy was of utmost importance—Cosmos was sent into space to keep human satellites from spotting them. He successfully hacked the five satellites watching the area into broadcasting a loop of ordinary farmers instead. {{storylink|International Incident Part 3: "Hawk Among the Sparrows"}}

Unfortunately, this meant Skywatch couldn't oversee the battle ''either'', so when the situation got complicated, Cosmos was ordered to free up one satellite for them to use. He grumbled a bit about how his job wasn't exactly a piece of cake, but these orders turned out to be nothing compared to his next mission: redirecting a nuclear warhead already on its way towards North Korea. As Cosmos began rewiring the missile in mid-flight, he commented that he really deserved some more respect for his efforts. Thanks to his intervention, the nuke detonated safely in the Arctic Circle. {{storylink|International Incident Part 4: "All My Sins Remembered"}}

Remaining in orbit, Cosmos was later joined by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], and together they turned a Skywatch communications satellite into a weapon by dropping it through the atmosphere at Mach 10 right on top of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. He survived the impact with just a few scratches, but still, they tried. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 5: Enemy Mine}}

Cosmos was among the Autobots who left Earth behind to return to a restored Cybertron. On the way, he and many others stared in disbelief and fascination at Megatron, who was in Autobot captivity on board [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 1}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Cosmos''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985/1986)
:*''Japanese ID number'': '''86'''

: Cosmos transforms into a "flying saucer," specifically the [[Wikipedia:George Adamski#Ufology|Adamski-style]] saucer that is (inexplicably) the staple Japanese depiction of a UFO. His underside has little wheels for when you just gotta roll a saucer around.

: In 1986, he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in the [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] flier packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $4 and one [[Robot points|robot point]].

: In Japan, he was released ''only'' as a mail-away item. He cost 500 yen and 2 robot points.

===Transformers Collection===
[[Image:G1-toy Cosmos.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He turns into a boob.]]
*'''Minibots Team''' (Multi-pack, 2005)
:*''Japanese ID number'': '''TFC-12'''

: Cosmos was reissued in the ''[[Transformers Collection]]'' series in a multi-pack with [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]], [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]], [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]]. This release has a modified chest sticker that contains an Autobot sigil.

: This version, with the altered sticker, was used to make [[Path Finder]].

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:TitaniumSeries-Cosmos.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Hey, kids, who wants to buy a die-cast $15 doorbell?]]
: A 6" transforming Cosmos toy was designed, based on the preliminary ''Classics'' design (see Notes), and displayed at [[BotCon]] 2007. However, the [[Titanium Series]] was canceled before its tooling could be completed.

===Universe (2008)===

*'''Autobot Cosmos''' (Legends, 2009)

[[Image:Cosmoslegendsuniverse.jpg|right|300px|thumb|From doorbell to sundial.]]
: [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] Legends-class Cosmos still transforms into a flying saucer-type "UFO", but now it looks less like a doorbell. [[Bill Rawley]] claims responsibility for the markings on Cosmos, which spell out his name ("Cosmos") in [[Cybertronian languages|"Cybertronian" lettering]].

===Henkei! Henkei!===
*'''Minibot Spy Team''' (Multi-pack, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-19'''

:The ''[[Henkei! Henkei! (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' version of ''Universe'' Cosmos is in a more olive green, an oranger yellow, and the silver and blue colors swapped. The silver Cybertronian "COSMOS" lettering is retained. He is packed with similarly redecoed Legends-class versions of [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]].

==Notes==
[[Image:Classics cosmos concept.gif|right|165px|thumb|What could have been...]]
*The creative team went through multiple preliminary names before settling on Cosmos, including '''Spaceracer''', then '''Spaceshot''' and then '''[[Shooting Star]]'''.[http://web.archive.org/web/20071230210811/http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41003]

* [[Michael McConnohie]]'s voice for Cosmos is a heavily processed impression of film star [[Peter Lorre]]. More precisely, McConnohie has stated in his [[BotCon]] appearances that he was doing an ''intentionally bad'' impression of Peter Lorre, which he sheepishly admitted came off sounding like a [[Accents|Spanish accent]] at times. (Until the source of Cosmos's voice was confirmed, fans would sometimes speculate that Cosmos sounded Spanish.)

* It is presumed that Cosmos's Japanese name, '''Adams''', is derived from that of [http://www.ufopsi.com/articles/georgeadamski.html George '''Adams'''ki], who provided the famous flying saucer design after which Cosmos was modeled.

* Early Japanese promotional material shows Cosmos with a blue body rather than his final green. The toy would see release in this coloration much, much, ''much'' later as [[Path Finder]].

[[Image:CosmosConcept.jpg|right|165px|thumb|What could have been if he'd only found the salad bar...]]
* Concept art of a ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' version of Cosmos was shown at [[BotCon 2006]], but the design was rejected because higher-ups felt the vehicle mode was too "boring". Many fans were pleasantly shocked they even ''considered'' making a new Cosmos. The art was later printed as part of the supplementary material in the ''[[Stormbringer (comics)|Stormbringer]]'' trade paperback. Despite the rejection, it remained on the development team's "look into this" file should they revisit the ''Classics'' line in the future. True to their word, the design was moved to the ''Titanium'' Cybertron Heroes line of die-cast metal transforming toys, but with the cancellation of the ''Transformers'' portion of this franchise, the Cosmos design exists only as a resin prototype that was on display during the Hasbro tour portion of [[BotCon 2007]].

* Cosmos's Generation 1 concept art isn't terribly out of the ordinary, but it's also pretty badass.

* Where did he scan his alternate mode, again?

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Adams''' (アダムス ''Adamusu'')
