'''Optimus Prime''' is a bit of a shill.
==Stamp Bot==
[[File:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|Truck stamp is cool!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Made by HG Toys, Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{-}}

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

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

[[File:Tfgum2010 henkei prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/laser cannon
:The second Prime figure in the 2010 ''Gum'' line was this kit of his ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''/''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.
{{-}}

*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

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

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

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

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

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

==Gold Convoy Trophy==
[[File:Gold Convoy Trophy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Thou will worship this golden convoy. Or Perish!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (trophy, 1988)
:A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] employees and as a [[Lucky Draw]] (alongside the [[Chromedome (G1)|Silver Chromedome Trophy]]) in [[TV Magazine]] in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
{{-}}

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

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

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

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

==Metalforce==
[[File:MetalforceConvoy.jpg|thumb|I'm expensive!]]
*'''Convoy''' (2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand
:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

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

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

{{-}}
==Choro-Q==
*'''Convoy''' (2000)

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

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

==Super Collection Figure==
[[File:SCF Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|#Igotprimeonit]]
*'''Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

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

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFaxe}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase axe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|]]
*'''Convoy with Ax''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Also available in the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave was a rare "Secret Figure" version of Optimus (斧付きコンボイ, ''ono-tsuki konboi''), decorated in metallic paint and replacing his gun-wielding right hand with his [[energon-axe]].

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

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFtrailer}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Truck.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|We're just as confused as you are, folks.]]
*'''Convoy (Trailer Mode)''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''

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

: Unlike every other figure in the line (excluding build-a-figures), this one does ''not'' come with a figure stand, because... well, what would be the point?

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFMegaGun}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase jetpack.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|]]
*'''Megatron & Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:The second ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, like the first, also had its own Optimus Prime chase figure, this one wielding Megatron in gun mode and wearing [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]'s [[jet pack|rocket pack]], as seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

: This was presumably also released at a ratio of one per every ten cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFdamage}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase damage.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|]]
*'''Damaged Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''3'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:There was no mass-release Optimus Prime figure for the third ''Super Collection Figure'' act, but there was another rare chase figure, this time a battle-damaged version of the original figure from the first act, referencing his injuries from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

: Again, it was ''probably'' released in one out of every ten cases. He replaced the clear version of [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Super Collection Figure|Bumblebee]] in the case.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFcom}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Comm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He's actually checking his makeup.]]
*'''Convoy (B)''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

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

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

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

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFSilverMatrix}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase silver.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|]]
*'''Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''5'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:This version of Prime was a chase figure in the fifth ''Super Collection Figure'' act, and depicts the Autobot leader, rendered in metallic silver, opening the Matrix, referencing the end of "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2]]". This figure was packed in at a ''confirmed'' ratio of one per every ten cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFMegatrongun}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Act6.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Shadow the Convoy, ow the edge.]]
*'''Convoy (C) with Megatron Gun Mode''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Extra right fist, stand

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

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

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFStarConvoy}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Star Convoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Chonktimus Prime.]]
*'''Star Convoy''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

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

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

{{-}}{{anchor|ConvoySet}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Earth Obliteration.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Special "The Earth Obliteration Plan": Exclusive Convoy Set''' ([[February 3|Feb 3]] 2002)
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Available exclusively at the Wonder Festival convention, this set includes two metallic-paint versions of Convoy figures from Act 2: the "Convoy w/ Megatron Gun" chase figure (minus the jetpack), and the truck-mode "figure".

: The set was limited to only 1000 units.

{{-}}{{anchor|ConfrontationSet}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Confrontation.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''TF Confrontation Set 01: Convoy vs Megatron''' ([[September 20|Sept 20]]-[[September 22|22]], 2002)
**''Accessories:'' Energon-axe

: Exclusive to the Tokyo Game Show 2002, this special set includes a new version of the original first-Act Optimus Prime figure, along with a new version of the first-Act Megatron. Both are cast in transparent plastic and completely painted over in a grimy, battle-damaged look. Both also come with the interchangeable energon-axe and mace weapons from their first-wave chase figures. Completing the theme of the set is the backdrop of the packaging interior, which depicts [[Sherman Dam]].

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

: As with the above Wonder Festival set, this set was also limited to 1000 units.
{{-}}

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

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

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

[[File:HOC Optimus Apex.jpg|upright=1.66|right|thumb|Don't tell anyone, but this crap is HEAVY!]]
*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

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

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

[[File:HOC Optimus Axe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Energon Axe: Only used in [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2|one episode]]. Ever.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002)

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

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

: In a yet another unusual choice for the line, this second-wave figurine is a redeco of the first God Ginrai/Powermaster Prime Apex Armor PVC figure, cast in translucent orange plastic with red gradients and flame detailing, depicting a "spark attack" mode.

: This is a variant of the ''Super Collection Figure'' "God Fire Guts" God Ginrai chase figure, which had been rendered entirely in solid metallic gold paint.

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

*'''Softimus Prime''' (2007)

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

*'''Optimus Prime Vs Ravage''' (2007)

: Packed with [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Ravage]], Optimus Prime is one of the first figures in the Transformers segment of the ''Heroes'' franchise. As with all ''Heroes'' figures, Optimus Prime is a simple, yet well-detailed two-inch tall figurine with exaggerated, cartoony proportions. He is sculpted holding his Ion Blaster rifle in his right fist and his left arm in a pointing pose. He is also love, and demands that you pull his [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3#Notes|Finger of Doom]].

:Hilariously, the way Optimus Prime and Ravage being packaged (with Prime pointing his finger to Ravage) gives an impression of [http://orig12.deviantart.net/b22b/f/2008/216/7/1/optimus_prime_vs_ravage_by_cobaltkitty.jpg him freaking out to Ravage's size].

:Sadly you can't bring him into play with the ''Cybertron'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Super Optimus Prime]] vehicle mode because he's not ''Super'' Optimus Prime.

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

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

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

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

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

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

*'''Convoy''' (2019)
**''Series number:'' 014
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Energon Axe, 1 pair of splayed hands, 1 pair of trigger hands, left clawed hand, right pointing hand, interlocked hand

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

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

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

{{nav-G2}}
Two years after the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Transformers'' toy line]] petered out in the US, [[Hasbro]] revamped the series with 1993's '''''Transformers: Generation 2''''', the first "reboot" of the franchise. With a mix of classic popular characters, vintage toys, all-new [[gimmick]]-laden molds, and bodacious 90s color schemes, Hasbro hoped to recapture some of the financial success that had been lost with age and competition.

''Generation 2'' saw more-or-less simultaneous release in the US and European markets, but Japan would not start the line (or even have any ''Transformers'' product at all on shelves, for that matter) until 1995.

Unfortunately, the revamping failed to give the franchise the jumpstart it needed, despite having created several benchmarks that ''Transformers'' lines still follow to this day. In a desperate bid to save ''Transformers'' from ending for good, Hasbro chose to end the line in its third year, and [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|go in a completely new direction]]...

{{TOCclear}}

==Overview==
[[File:G2Prime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Optimus Prime's first G2 toy, essentially a re-release of the original toy but with a new [[soundbox]] and weapons.]]
Initially, the line heavily featured re-releases of several [[The Transformers (toyline)|"Generation 1" toys]] (as the pre-''Generation 2'' series quickly became known to the [[fandom]]), with tweaked decos and new accessories, alongside several molds that had been recently released as part of the European-market line. But after that initial year, all-new product quickly outnumbered reworked old product, and the line pushed its design and engineering to levels far beyond the original series; most notably, it was during the latter half of ''Generation 2'' that the toys began to feature the kind of advanced [[articulation]] in robot mode that made the toys much more "action figures" than ever before (and far more posable than many "regular" action figure lines!), which has been a staple of the brand ever since.

''Generation 2'' also sought to follow changing trends in the toy market in a broader sense. It put a much larger focus on keeping "main" characters (particularly [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]) readily available on shelves with a variety of toys at different price points, as most of the successful competing toy lines of the '90s were focused on a core cast of characters, rather than the massive ever-changing casts of the '80s.

Unfortunately, the series debuted to lackluster sales, despite featuring many fan-favorite toys that hadn't been available for years. Some fans blamed [[Neon|color selections]], but it seems ''far'' more likely that it was simply a case of bad timing combined with too much product "your older brother has in the attic". Even the later new molds didn't help much, nor the little changes made as the line went on, such as removing [[insignia|faction symbols]] from the toys (supposedly kids didn't quite "get" them at the time, possibly due to the mix of symbols in the early line), or packaging frippery like the "[[Real Action Pop-Ups 3-D Transformer Trading Card]]"s that came with larger later toys.

[[File:G2toy laser optimus prime.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|Laser Rod Optimus Prime, the last Optimus toy of the line, all-new with a literal truckload of gimmicks.]]

Kids simply weren't into robots that turned into "real" vehicles at the time, it seems, and the "older nostalgic" market (which can rarely sustain a [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|major toy brand]] at nationwide retail even today) was downright microscopic at the time. Being up against the then-new ''[[Saban Entertainment|Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', the still-popular ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' (whose overall garish color schemes give lie to the idea that colors are what sank ''Generation 2''), and the ever-growing popularity of home video game consoles that sucked kids away from ''all'' toys added to the line's woes. The lack of a proper, network-backed "advertainment" cartoon was also a factor, as the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (cartoon)|repackaged '80s-series episodes branded as "''Generation 2"]] didn't advertise the majority of the actual toyline, and was stuck in syndication hell to boot where ''Power Rangers'' and ''Ninja Turtles'' got steady network play. Ironic, given a strong advertising cartoon was a major contributor to the success of the original ''Transformers'' series over its [[GoBots|biggest competitor]].

''Generation 2'' was ended after about two and a half years, with several new products trapped in development limbo. A handful saw release Europe, Australia, and New Zealand (namely the [[Power Master]]s), but most of those canceled toys stayed unreleased. (A few of the slated new molds got released in later lines with new decos, however.)

As Hasbro had recently acquired former competitor [[Kenner]], and the ''Transformers'' franchise was facing extinction, the decision was made to shift the boys'-toy production to Kenner and take ''Transformers'' in a wildly different direction to hopefully revitalize the seemingly-tired concept... ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]''.

==Hasbro US line==
===1993===
The line started off fairly modest, at least by production standards. A mix of classic products in new decos, sometimes with new accessories, and all-new new molds that had seen developed for release the same year as part of the European "Generation 1" line (which had not actually ended yet), with a large completely new mold in the form of huge tank Megatron. This series started using [[light-piping]] for the robot eyes, a minor gimmick that would become a standard in ''Transformers'' toys for a good two decades following.

===1994===
Come the line's second year, designs were getting more ambitious. While redecoes of "[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]" style combiners filled out the lower price-point ranks, completely new molds were being worked on with extensive [[gimmick]]s.

Two nigh-line-wide changes to how the toys were being produced were made this year, both of which would become standards in ''Transformers'' from here on out: enhanced robot mode [[articulation]], and the move away from customer-applied [[sticker]]s in favor of factory-applied [[tampograph]]s. Even the re-used "Generation 1" molds for this year lost their customer-applied sticker sheets.

===1995===
For the 1995 releases, Hasbro introduced redesigned packaging that quietly dropped the ''Generation 2'' moniker. Gone were '80s-toy redecoes, everything this year was a brand-new sculpt... or a ''redeco'' of a brand-new sculpt introduced this year. In fact, 1995 was the first year that ''Transformers'' really got into extensive same-line redecos as a budgetary procedure, as well as using "major" character names on toys of dubious resemblance to their namesakes in order to retain the [[trademark]]s on them. The enhanced articulation of the prior year's Laser Rods got refined further with the Cyberjets' extensive use of [[ball joint]]s, which would become ''the'' standard for ''Transformers'' toys up to the present day.

Unfortunately, this was also the final year of ''Generation 2'', and a great many items advertised in toy catalogs ended up unreleased. Some in-package samples have made it out. Despite most of this unreleased product being redecoes of existing molds, their scarcity means that all of them still demand big bucks on the secondary market, ''especially'' the few new molds.

==Hasbro European line==
The whole European ''Generation 2'' situation is a little weird.

[[The Transformers (European toyline)|''Transformers'']] didn't end in most European markets when the US line did, with roughly two years of product released after the franchise (temporarily) closed shop in the US. The normal, un-sublined ''Transformers'' series continued in 1993, but shared many new molds with the 1993 US ''Generation 2'' line (albeit in different colors, sometimes as different characters), as well as the new "G2" Autobot and Decepticon faction symbols. ''Technically'', these releases are still "Generation 1".

In 1994, Hasbro UK and Hasbro International followed Hasbro US's lead and changed the branding to the new ''Generation 2'' name, and re-released much of the 1993 product as well as "new" items from the US line. This, mixed with the slow spread of information online at the time, has led many fans to overall consider ''all'' of the new-sigil 1993 product to be "Generation 2".

Which is fair enough, but this list will ''only'' contain the product released under the actual ''Generation 2'' banner.

Most toys were available in two different [[multilingual packaging]] [[variant]]s: English/Spanish/Portuguese and French/Dutch/German. In addition, [[GiG]] distributed figures in Italian-only packaging.

===1994===
The overwhelming bulk of this year's product was made up of repackaged re-releases of 1993 product from both the European and American toylines, the latter being "new" to most European markets, and newly-developed toys released concurrently with the American market.

This year's releases started the trend of the European toys having extremely condensed on-package [[bio]]s, as some specs only had the figure's name, function, and motto. Many quotes were changed from their previous releases as well.

===1995===
Come the line's second year, it fell pretty much into line with the US series, with only a single "exclusive" sub-group, the Powermasters. However, they wey were not ''truly'' exclusive to Europe, as they were ''also'' available in Australia and New Zealand in the same English-only packaging that would have been used in the United States had the line not been canceled, lacking the "Generation 2" moniker and rendering "Power Masters" as two words instead of one like in Europe.

The packaging for the European 1995 releases was ''differently'' redesigned compared to the North American packaging, featuring very different color layouts, retaining the ''Generation 2'' title and, for whatever reason, now relegating all the individual character names for toys that shipped as assortments to the ''back'' of the packaging, thereby putting the emphasis of the marketing entirely on the price points.

==Takara ''G-2'' line==
[[File:G2_Japanese_Logo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
'''''Transformers: G-2''''' was [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s first foray back into Transformers after ending the line in [[1992]] with ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (franchise)|Operation Combination]]''. Available for only the latter half of [[1995]], ''G-2'' did not include any of the Generation 1 molds (including the later European ones) which were in the American and European lines, only the more poseable toys newly created for the line. Each release came with a [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|pack-in comic]].

Virtually none of the toys in ''G-2'' have significant differences from the Hasbro releases outside of packaging. Only the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s have deco changes. The [[Cyberjet]]s each came with an extra [[sticker]] sheet to customize the toys, but are otherwise identical. While prototypes for "enhanced" Cyberjets with add-on armor have since surfaced, they never made it beyond prototype.

''G-2'' was not a major financial success for Takara. As a result, the planned spin-off ''[[Block Town]]'' was canceled, and there was another short ''Transformers'' drought in Japan until the introduction of ''[[Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers|Beast Wars]]'' in [[1997]].

==Massive amounts of concept stuff==
[[File:G2SludgeBoxart.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I got my spine, I got my Orange Sludge.]]
[[File:UnmadeVideoCameraMegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Camcorder Megatron?]]

In the years since ''Generation 2'' ended, numerous ultimately-unused concepts have come to light, showing what might have been were more molds available, were budgets bigger, ''et cetera''. These range from redecoes of old toys to all-new mold prototypes, and a few real oddities.

;Redecoes
*Orange [[:File:G2SludgeBoxart.jpg|Sludge]], bright green [[:File:G2SwoopArtwork.jpg|Swoop]], and a delightfully tiger-striped version of [[:File:G2GrimlockArtwork.jpg|Grimlock]].
*"[[Sandstorm (G2)|Sandstorm]]", a desert-themed redeco of Ramjet.
*"[[Blackout (G2)|Blackout]]", a black redeco of Starscream.
*Hand-painted samples of a jungle-themed [[:File:G2SSJungleprotojet.jpg|Starscream]] and a blue sky-themed [[:File:WhizBangNavyRamjetRedeco.jpg|Ramjet]], both of whom could be new characters for all we know.
*A green and purple [[:File:G2MirageVaultArt.jpg|Mirage]] and a yellow and turquoise [[:File:UnmadeG2SideswipeMockup.jpg|Sideswipe]].
*Recolored card art of [[Power Master]] [[Ironhide (G1)#PowerMaster|Ironhide]], in yellow and blue, attached to packaging mock-ups bearing the names "Belzone", "Light Speed", and "[[Pothole]]".

;Toy prototypes
*A resin prototype of a [[Unproduced G.I. Joe Transformer|transforming six-wheeled APC]] capable of carrying a [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] figure.
*A [[customizing|kitbashed/hand-painted]] mock-up of the large [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Megatron tank mold]] as a video camcorder.
*Takara had prototypes of the Cyberjet molds with add-on armor pieces on display at a toy convention, but those clearly never happened.

;???
*The [[Solarbot]], an item mentioned on some late-series card samples but otherwise we know literally nothing about what it was supposed to be.

==Post-''Generation 2'' releases==
As time has passed and fandom attitudes have changed, the once-often-poo-pooed ''Generation 2'' line has become a go-to source for a more quirky nostalgia-grab, particularly as a source for [[redeco]] color schemes for modern toys, though some do end up as new-character [[homage]]s.

Powerhug (BW)

[[File:Powerhug1.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|The Power of HUGS!]]

'''Powerhug''' (パワーハッグ ''Pawāhaggu'') is a very straight-forward [[Maximal]] who has nothing to hide. He always speaks the truth, even if it hurts. He talks in a ''Kyushu'' dialect for some unknown reason, but it rarely bothers his teammates. Powerhug tends to be a bit clumsy at times, but never enough to endanger the other [[Insectron]]s. He has had a nasty spat with the [[Autoroller]]s that earned them the Maximal's enmity.

Powerhug was a renowned martial arts instructor with a score to settle with the [[Autoroller]]s after they destroyed his school and many of his students.

His transformation process is simple, considering all of his robot mode components are jammed underneath one plate of armor. Per his alt mode, the toy can be rolled around like a ball.

Retrax

2015-03-18T00:32:55Z

Xiphos: /* Beast Wars */ Retrax is a malacostraca->isopod, not an insect. Many more than just six legs.

{{factions|predacon}}
:''Retrax is a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Retrax-packageart1.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|He loves you THIIIIIIS much!]]
'''Retrax''' is a decent warrior, using his pill bug mode to overpower his enemies. He specializes in desert demolitions and lives in tunnels under the desert, which keep him cool. His companions are the remains of his enemies. He is a coward at heart, however, and at the slightest hint of being overwhelmed will bounce to safety in his "bug ball" along one of his many pre-determined escape routes.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Beast Wars'' comics===
[[File:IDW Retrax.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Okay, so what the hell kind of pillbug is green and yellow and has spikes, anyways?]]
Retrax was one of the [[protoform]]s jettisoned by the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' on prehistoric [[Earth]]. He was activated and put in [[chronal phase]] by [[Razorbeast]] at [[Magmatron]]'s request. The newly born Predacon quickly joined Magmatron. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1}} He was sent to hunt down the Maximals that Razorbeast had also awakened. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 2}}

While investigating a swampy area with [[Transquito]], [[Powerpinch]], [[Scourge (BW)|Scourge]], and [[Insecticon (BW)|Insecticon]], Retrax was attacked by [[Poison Bite]]. Several other Predacons were taken down by the [[Mutant (BW)|Mutants]], who declared that no Maximal or Predacon was welcome in their home. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3}}

Retrax survived the stinkin' muties' attack and later joined [[Manterror]] and [[Snapper]] in creating a distraction so Ravage's main Predacon force could attack the Maximals. He annoyed the hell out of Manterror with his grousing that he'd rather be with a platoon than in a vulnerable group, and was accused of being a wuss. When faced with [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], Retrax chose to curl up into a ball and bounce away to safety, rather than engage the Maximal raptor directly. (Manterror was right!) Under desperate orders from Manterror, Retrax remembered to blow up the mines he'd planted around the Maximal base. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1}}

When the [[Blendtron]]s turned up, Retrax agreed that the Maximals and Predacons should stand together against them... though not ''too'' close to [[Stinkbomb]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4}}
{{--}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
A member of the resistance against the [[Builder]]s, Retrax participated in [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]'s attack on [[Override (BWU)|Override]]'s control room. He and [[Longhorn (BM)|Longhorn]] were responsible for keeping security at bay while the main force incapacitated the Builder. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}

His transformation process is simple, considering all of his robot mode components are jammed underneath one plate of armor. Per his alt mode, the toy can be rolled around like a ball. The spring-activated gimmick that curls up his [[wikipedia:Isopoda|isopod]] mode can also be used to make his arms snap together in robot mode, grasping his target in a <s>bear</s>bug hug—or just clapping.

: This mold was also [[redeco]]ed into [[Powerhug (BWII)|Powerhug]].

==Notes==
* Retrax is one of the only Transformers to have a [[Tech Spec]] stat at "1" (Speed). He ''also'' is one of the only Transformers to have a Tech Spec stat at "2" (Firepower).
*His ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'' profile incorrectly identifies him as having insect legs, but pillbugs are actually terrestrial crustaceans.

===Foreign names===
*''Italian:'' '''Tenax'''<ref>This name may have only been used on the cross-sell for the English/Spanish/Italian "video-pack" release of [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]]. However, a carded example of trilingual European English/Spanish/Italian Retrax has not been found at this time, so this is uncertain.</ref>

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV01'''

:Available excusively with the [[Ark (DOTM)#Toys|"Autobot Ark" vehicle/playset]], "Autobot Roller" is a relatively large [[Cyberverse]] Legion Class figure that transforms into a lunar rover of probably made-up origin, with elements of real unmanned vehicles such as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Exploration_Rover Mars Exploration Rovers] and various bomb disposal/manipulator robots. Unlike most Legion Class figures, he can wield Cyberverse weapons in both modes, as his oversized right arm (which sports the necessary [[C joint|3mm clip]]) also serves as the rover's robotic arm.

==Notes==
* Roller's robot mode resembles the generic Autobots seen in the Ark in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|the film]], albeit with the addition of lunar rover kibble. Between this and his position as the Ark's pilot, it's likely that he's intended to ''be'' one of those Autobots... but it's impossible to tell which one.
* Roller's vehicle mode is nearly identical to the [[Cyberverse]] [[Lunar Crawler]], only at a much smaller scale.

Rapido

2011-10-22T03:25:20Z

Xiphos: Wish I could take credit for that, but that belongs firmly to Fifty-Five - Xiphos

{{factions|autobotg2}}
:''Rapido is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[Image:G1 Rapido cardart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He is the most interesting bot in the world.]]

'''Rapido''' outranks you. He outranks everybody. Even [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], even though he humbly retains the job of "Platoon Commander" of the [[Axelerator]]s.

Suave, unflappable and endlessly clever, Rapido uses his tactical genius to bring the Autobots ever closer to final victory over the [[Decepticon]]s. His plans are amazingly complex, plotted down to the smallest detail. Even when things are rough, he keeps his cool and works out a plan to turn things around again.

==Fiction==
===Dreamwave comics continuity===
[[Image:DW Skyfire cameos.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Even [[Decepticon]]s list him as their emergency contact number.]]
Rapido, standing beside [[Aero Raid]] and [[Windbreaker]], was among a crowd of unhappy Autobots who made [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] look really stupid when the latter tried to make a speech. {{storylink|Skyfire (issue)|Skyfire}}
{{--}}

===Wings of Honor===
[[Image:RapidoPowers.jpg|left|thumb|200px|He once held the Matrix, only to give it back.]]

During a battle outside of the [[Large Hadron Collider]] in [[Switzerland]], Rapido ordered a fall back after [[Pyro]] was captured. Minutes later, when [[Scorch (G1)|Scorch]] and [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] tried to take over, Rapido balked at being treated like a child, despite only being a minor in [[Earth]] years. When Scorch objected to his formulating a rescue plan, Rapido reminded him that he technically outranked all Autobots on [[Earth]] in emergency situation, as authorized by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] himself.

Eventually the Autobots went on the counterattack to stop the Decepticons from seizing the power of the Collider and to save Pyro. While most the Autobots kept the Decepticons busy, Rapido took [[Meanstreak]] and Streetwise to the back entrance. While his low-yield photo missiles were unable to crack the door, Streetwise's knock caused it to tumble. Once inside they met with a duo of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] guards and attempted to use the [[universal greeting]] to quell them. When this proved fruitless, Rapido transformed and crashed the guards through the door they were guarding, right into the room where Pyro was being held!

The rescue team began getting pummeled by the [[Forestonite]]-infused Decepticons. Rapido shot his missiles to free Pyro, evening the odds a little. When [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] saw this, he shot the rest of the Forestonite, resulting in its gaseous form filling the building and powering up all the [[Transformer]]s within. Rapido found he now had the power of super speed, and used it to outrun [[Sky-Byte (Timelines)|Sky-byte's]] missiles, leading them into the main skirmish and having them hit [[Cindersaur]] instead. When the Decepticons retreated, Rapido attended to the humans and later enjoyed a drink of energon. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}

It is also [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with [[Turbofire]].

: He was initially released in the European market in 1993, during the transitional time when the Transformers toys took on the new ''Generation 2'' sigils, but the packaging lacked the "''Generation 2''" line-name.

: Released concurrently with the European "Generation 1" Rapido, the US version is almost identical to the European toy, save the pink clear-plastic being replaced with smoky-black. Rapido was re-released in the European ''Generation 2'' line the following year, retaining his clear-pink plastics.

===Block Town===
[[Image:Rapido-BlockTown.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Years ago, he built a city out of blocks. Today, over six hundred thousand people live and work there.]]
*'''Gasoline Station Set''' (Block Town, 1996)
**''Accessories'': Engine-block rifle, gas pump brick set

: Rapido's mold was one of several intended to be used in the post-''Generation 2'' [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Block Town]]'' line. To be [[redeco]]ed in black with blue robot parts, he was to come with the "Gasoline Station Set", a building-block gas pump that could be rebuilt into a battle station of some form. This set ultimately never came to release. In 2005, a supposed Takara "release" schedule listed the ''Block Town'' sets among several other future items coming out. Only the ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Galaxy Force]]'' items on that list saw release, however (and some only as store [[exclusive]]s to boot).

{{note|Dammit!!!}}

: Since very little information exists on the line's more fictional aspects (including the robot's name), it is unknown if this toy was to be the same general character Rapido, or a new character altogether.

*'''Rapido and Cindersaur''' (Souvenir set, 2010)
**''Accessories'': "Axelerator cannon"

: [[Exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2010]], Rapido is a new-head [[retool]] of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' series]] [[Bluestreak (G1)#Universe (2008)|Silverstreak]] toy, transforming into a modified [[wikipedia:Nissan 350Z|Nissan 350Z]]. He features twin non-removable and non-firing "rocket launchers" that can swing over his robot-mode shoulders. His fold-out rifle stores in the car mode's undersides. He was available only in an at-show souvenir set with [[Cindersaur#Timelines|Cindersaur]], limited to 1500 pieces.

:This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Prowl]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)#Universe (2008)|Smokescreen]], as well as fellow BotCon 2010 exclusive ''[[Timelines (franchise)|Timelines]]'' [[Streetwise (G1)#Timelines|Streetstar]].

==Notes==
[[Image:G2-art RapidoUK.jpg|right|thumb|200px|I don't always download beer. But when I do, I prefer DOS EXEs.]]
* "Rapido" means "rapid" or "fast" in Spanish and Italian.
* Like all of the toys carried over from the European line for ''Generation 2'', Rapido got entirely new artwork for his US release (shown at the top of this article). His original artwork was considerably less scary than that of his fellow Axelerators.
* Regarding him outranking "everybody"... that's a slight exaggeration, but not by much. In the 1993 US line, only Rapido and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] had a "10" Rank in their [[Tech Spec]]s; [http://www.tfu.info/1993/Autobot/OptimusPrime/optimusprime.htm the Optimus Prime toy released that year had a mere "9"]. [[Speedstream]] also had a 10, but as he was never released in the US, few fans knew about it back then and thus the [[Aquaspeeder]] leader got to miss out on the joke.
* Though Rapido was never released in Japan, he did gain a Japanese name via a [[BotCon Japan 1997]] [[exclusive]] poster, which featured bios for all of the new ''Generation 2'' characters released in the US who weren't part of the Japanese line: the Axelerators, the [[Skyscorcher]]s, [[Rotor Force]], four of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] and the [[Color Changer]]s.
* For BotCon 2010, his character was based somewhat on "[[wikipedia:The Most Interesting Man in the World|The Most Interesting Man in the World]]" from the Dos Equis beer commercials. His bio card from the convention was written entirely in Spanish, because this was an awesome thing to do. After the convention, [[Fun Publications]] put up [http://www.botcon.com/BotCon10/images10/RAPIDO10english.jpg an English version].

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Rapid Engine''' (ラピッドエンジン ''Rapiddo Enjin'')

Electric Train and Battle Set

2010-11-21T20:12:31Z

Xiphos: Added a picture of the static robots, and corrected te quantity of unique molds.

{{cleanup|November 20|Oh my god, this needs to be sorted and formatted.}}

[[Image:Tyco_sets_transformers_1986.jpg‎|thumb|right|]]

The '''Electric Train and Battle Set''' is an HO-scale model train set, manufactured by [[Tyco]] in [[1985]]. The set includes a diesel switcher/radar station, a gondola with coal/laser cannon, a box car/base, and a caboose/robot bird/"Space ship", all in a matching silver paint scheme with a red stripe. The set additionally includes a number of static Autobot and Decepticon figurines, the buildings for a power plant, track, a cardboard layout mat, and a power pack.

[[Image:TRAIN0.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Amazing!]]
The main focus of the set was the engine and cars. The engine was a slightly modified, working switch engine. It "transformed" into a radar station by lifting a hinged panel on the front-left side of the diesel engine and raising a ball-and-socket mounted concave plank on top; the transformation did not hinder the operation of the engine in any way.
{{-}}

[[Image:TRAIN1.JPG|thumb|left|200px|Truly the pinnacle of 80's engineering.]]
The gondola car came with a plank that represented a pile of coal on one side and a non-firing "laser cannon" on the other. The cannon was mounted on to the underside of the coal by a small peg which allowed it to swivel horizontally with another hinge allowing it to raise vertically. Swiveling the canon too far to one side or the other without weighing down the gondola car somehow resulted in the car tipping.
{{-}}

[[Image:TRAIN2.JPG|thumb|right|200px|This is every bit as awesome as it looks.]]
The box car unfolded into a decent-sized base in which the included figures could fit. Both sides were identical, except for the spot on top where a box with a concave dish mount could be affixed. The base consisted of two overhangs and two boxes with window slats attached by hinges that allowed for the configuration shown, the windowed boxes to be held flush against the base body, or for the entire thing to fold out into one long box. The couplings for the boxcar mode folded down to accommodate the base mode.
{{-}}

[[Image:TRAIN3.JPG|thumb|left|200px|Caboose is the only one with a proper robot mode. He turns into an "Interstellar Ship". With eyes. And a beak.]]
The caboose transforms into a robotic bird. The wheels at the front of the caboose fold down to allow the robot mode to continue rolling on the tracks while giving it a perched appearance.

Interestingly, the cut of the stickers for the caboose only allow for them to be applied with the broad red stripe flanked by the two narrow black stripes on bottom, while the the stickers for the engine bearing the G1 "The Trans Formers More Than Meets The Eye" slogan is only right-side up if positioned with the broad red stripe on the top.

[[Image:Tyco H.K Robots.JPG|thumb|right|200px|]]
The non-transforming "Transformer" figures consist of six distinct molds in metallic blue and silver, repeated multiple times in apparently semi-random quantities. Which ones are supposed to be Autobots and which Decepticons is in no way indicated, leaving it up for the player to decide how to divvy up the robots.

The play mat depicted a small dam in a wooded area with a road and parking lot. The card-stock power station, plant, and two power line towers were meant to be placed around this, though a convincing layout that also left room for the standard oval-track layout was difficult to achieve.

'''''Transformers: War for Cybertron''''' is a video game developed by [[High Moon Studios]] and published by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]], set before the Transformers take their war to [[Earth]]. [[Hasbro]] intends it to act as a foundation for ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' franchise storylines for years to come, and so they've been giving a lot of input and stressing character development.<ref name="tfw2005">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/tfw2005-war-for-cybertron-interview-with-aaron-archer-and-matt-tieger-168910/ War for Cybertron interview with Aaron Archer and Matt Tieger @ TFW2005.com]</ref> The book ''[[Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron]]'' serves as a storyline lead-in to the events of the game, which itself in turn sets the stage for the upcoming cartoon series ''[[Transformers: Prime]]''.{{fact}}

Unlike previous ''Transformers'' video games which feature distinctly separate campaigns for the Autobots and the Decepticons (traditionally depicting the playable faction utterly defeating the other), ''War for Cybertron'' will feature a single, linear storyline; the Decepticon campaign occurs chronologically before the Autobot campaign, but [[Fandom|fans]] can play through them in whichever order they prefer.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/news/index.php?f_keyword=war+for+cybertron Seibertron Q&A with Activision]</ref>

The game itself will be an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter in which the player can choose his character from a small roster of either Autobots or Decepticons. The game has a street date of [[June 22]], [[2010]], for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii (as ''[[Transformers: Cybertron Adventures]]''), Nintendo DS, and PC; however, the console versions were released at Sears stores on June 17th.

==Synopsis==

[[Image:WarforCybertron-OptimusPrime.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Prime auditions for Unreal Tournament. There were no survivors.]]

It is the waning days of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] before the Transformers come to Earth. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], genuinely believing a caste system will bring Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]], is researching a dangerous power source known as [[Dark Energon]] to fuel his conquest of the planet. Megatron discovers that the factory that produces Dark Energon is guarded by a neutral army led by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], and he leads an attack on the station. After his ship crashes into the hull of the station, Megatron, [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] and [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]] defeat Starscream's army and harness the power of the Dark Energon. Cornered, Starscream tells Megatron that he's the only one who knows how to make more of the energon and that he will help the Decepticon leader if Megatron takes him into his army. Megatron reluctantly agrees to this and sends Starscream, [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] to reactivate the [[Energon Bridge]] that will produce new Dark Energon. They succeed, and Megatron decides to use his new-found power to attack and destroy the Autobot city of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. While Starscream and Brawl lead the main attack on the city, Megatron takes [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and Breakdown on a flanking attack to recover the Omega Key, which will allow him to access the core of the planet. Arriving at the key's holding place, the Decepticons learn that the Autobot leader [[Zeta Prime]] has taken it to keep it safe. The team regroup with Brawl and Starscream, and use Dark Energon bombers to eliminate the remaining Autobots before storming the building in which Zeta Prime is waiting. Megatron defeats the Autobot leader, stealing the Omega Key and punching a hole in his chest. Zeta reveals that the key Megatron has just stolen only activates the ''real'' Omega Key, and that soon '''it''' will find '''him'''. Suddenly [[Omega Supreme (G1)|a huge ship awakens and takes off.]]

An unknown amount of time later, Megatron is commanding his ship in search of the "Omega Key". The ship is suddenly attacked by Omega Supreme, who shoots them out of the sky, causing them to crash-land in Iacon. Megatron, Soundwave and Breakdown began a desperate retreat from Omega Supreme's attack and take cover in a large tower. Once inside, the group hear Starscream announce that Megatron is dead and that he is taking command of the Decepticons. Enraged but unable to make any outside contact, Megatron leads his forces through the city, dodging attacks from Omega Supreme while searching for a way to fight him. Soundwave discovers that they can use some of the Autobot's anti-air and anti-infantry turrets on a tower roof against the massive Autobot. Along the way, the group makes contact with Starscream and corrects his mistake, using him to distract Omega Supreme. Once they reached the turrets, the group manages to shoot down Omega Supreme, causing him to crash to the ground below. The Decepticons go down to recover his body, but Omega Supreme transforms into robot mode, firing missiles and lasers. Megatron manages to corrupt Omega with Dark Energon, using him to reach and corrupt the core of Cybertron with Dark Energon.

Meanwhile, recovering from the attack on Iacon, the young Autobot messenger [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] is sent to tell the soldier [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus]] that Zeta Prime is dead. Optimus decides to take temporary control of the Autobots, taking Bumblebee and his friend [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] on a counterattack to push out Decepticon forces. They manage to reactivate the planetary guns, clearing the skies over Iacon, and proceed to aid [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] in reclaiming the Decagon, just barely missing Soundwave on the way. Entering the Decagon, Optimus receives a message from Zeta Prime, revealing that he is not yet dead but is being held in a prison in [[Kaon]]. Optimus, Bumblebee and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] allow themselves to be captured by the Decepticons and enter the prison. The three are just barely saved from a firing squad by [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]], but as they escape into the tunnels below, Air Raid is captured. The three Autobots sneak through the prison, rescuing Air Raid and releasing all the Autobot prisoners (including [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]). Using the chaos as a distraction, the trio sneak to the high security bunker Zeta Prime is being held. When the Autobots try to save them, Soundwave attacks, sending out [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]. The Autobots defeat them, but Soundwave manages to retreat. When Optimus tries to rescue Zeta, the Prime tells him that he is already dead and collapses. Optimus returns the body to the council, who tell Optimus that he must accept that he is a Prime and take up his role as leader. Thus, he becomes Optimus Prime. However, he is then dispatched into the very core of Cybertron with [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] to cure the currently infected core. Thanks to the help of some space slugs, Prime, Warpath, and Ironhide defeat a corrupted space slug and reach the core. However the core tells Optimus that, in order to repair itself, it will have to shut down for millions of years, forcing Optimus and the Autobots to evacuate Cybertron. Before the core shuts down, it gives Optimus the [[Matrix of Leadership]].

Returning to Iacon, Optimus Prime orders the launching of a full-scale evacuation of Cybertron's surface, however as the transports leave the atmosphere, Megatron begins shooting them down with his massive orbital space station. Optimus relizes the need to shut down the station, and sends [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]], Air Raid, and [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] to shut it down from the inside out. The team went flying into the station and blow up the power core, but Megatron taunts them as he activates a back-up generator. Then the station itself begins to mock them. Relizing the station is a Cybertronian, the team flies to find it's conversion cog to force it into it's robot mode before it can finish leveling Iacon, and Optimus with it. Succeding, the Autobots race out of the quickly transforming space station, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. The Autobots shoot out the massive Decepticon's jetpack, causing it to hurtle towards the surface of the planet. Trypticon still functioned however, and Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Ironhide were forced to engage the damaged Decepticon. After a difficult battle, Optimus uses his axe to knock Trypticon off-balance, sending it plummiting into the liquid below. As the other transports escape the planet's dying surface Optimus shows his team their new ship - an [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] that will allow them to take a piece of Cybertron with them, [[Earth|wherever their adventures may take them...]]

==Characters==
At the start of each level, the player can choose from one of three characters. Characters belong to one of four distinct classes:

* '''Leaders:''' Vehicle forms are trucks. Support their team with buffs and debuff the enemy team.
* '''Soldiers:''' Vehicle forms are tanks. Have heavy-hitting ranged and melee weaponry.
* '''Scientists:''' Vehicle forms are jets. Use a variety of tricky technology and precise long-distance weaponry to heal their allies and control the battlefield from a distance.
* '''Scouts:''' Vehicle forms are cars. Specialize in evasion and high-speed combat, along with disabling functions like EMP grenades.

The characters available will shift from level to level.

The Decepticon campaign includes a boss battle with [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] and the Autobot campaign includes defending [[Iacon]]. [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] appears in the IGN trailer, but he's, uh, probably not playable. Players should expect references to Cybertron locations taken from all previous Transformer stories, "things which may have only been referenced once, in one comic way back when, could be used and expanded upon."<ref name="tfw2005"/>

==Production==

As an early marketing campaign, the game's website included the feature "Operation Transmission Recovery": using transmission and coordinate dials, you could pick up "transmissions" from Cybertron (or "video clips" to you and me).

The art and design team did intense research (i.e. watched the original cartoon, looked at comics, and watched "typical sci-fi cool stuff" like ''Blade Runner'') to work out the aesthetic of Cybertron; lead artist [[Ivan Power]] remarked that the original cartoon was the main inspiration, and that Cybertron wasn't shown there so they had to rewatch the same few clips "over and over". While many of the city designs are elaborate and shiny, Decepticon [[Kaon]] was deliberately designed to be sharp-edged, rusting, and slapped together to show the Decepticons weren't interested in building a functioning society. <ref>[http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2009/12/21/transformers-art-video.aspx Game Informer: Behind the Art of War for Cybertron]</ref>

==Transformer references==
* A variety of callbacks to ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'':
** Ironhide greets the space slug with the [[Universal greeting]]. Warpath had no idea what it was.
** In the Kaon prison an Autobot is pronounced guilty and pushed off a gantry into a pit. He responds with "Spare me this mockery of justice!", the same quote from when the Quintessons sentenced Kranix the Lithone to Sharkticons.
** Rumble repeats another line from the movie: ""First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside!"
** When Starscream declares himself as Decepticon leader, Megatron retorts that "[he] still function[s]."
* The [[Punch of Kill Everything]] is a multiplayer Leader Class ability and a Soldier class upgrade.
* When Skywarp calls Thundercracker ugly he replies [[Seeker (body-type)|that they look the same]]. [[The Twins|Hmmm.]]
* [[Stan Bush]] sings the [[BotCon_1997|1997 BotCon]] [[Till_All_Are_One_(Transformers_Theme)|theme song]] for the credits, and the special thanks describe the families that were involved "rock like Stan Bush".
* Air Raid pokes fun at Silverbolt's fear of heights.
* The in-game menu for stat tracking and leaderboards is called [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan 1]]
* When Ironhide asks Optimus how he knows Megatron, Optimus replies that it is a story for another time.
*Pretty much all the Achievement/Trophy names are references to other parts of Transformers history, mostly G1.
** The ones for completing the campaign chapters include [[Dark Awakening]], [[Starscream's Brigade]], [[A Prime Problem]], [[The Last Prime]], [[The Touch|You Got The Touch]], [[The War Within]], and [['Til all are one|Till All Are One]].
** Gameplay names include [[Thief in the Night]], [[Fire in the Sky]], [[Unicron|Chaos Bringer]], [[Motormaster|Motormaster!]], [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator!]], [[Bruticus (G1)|Brute-a-kiss!]], [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]], [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide Performer]], [[Rumble (G1)|First we crack the shell...]], [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blast-a-rachnia]] and [[Ramhorn]].

==Operation Transmission Recovery==

As an early marketing campaign, the game's website included the feature "Operation Transmission Recovery": using transmission and coordinate dials, you could pick up "transmissions" from Cybertron (or "video clips/images" to you and me).

There are two dials, blue (outer) and yellow (inner). Using your mouse, you can drag the dial to set coordinates. The blue dial is set by aligning it to marks on the outer circle. When aligned, it becomes a blue ring. After that, the yellow dial is set so that signal strength is full, as indicated by a meter on the right. Once a transmission is unlocked its symbol lights up and the "Total Recovered" amount increases a little bit. When you reach 100%, it tells you how many hours remain until next batch.

As of January 12, 2010, the following transmissions (Batch 9), almost all of which are part of the second trailer (link below), were available:

==Demo==
On June 10, 2010, a demo for the game was released on Xbox Live Marketplace. The demo is a multiplayer only demo, and only two of the four announced classes, Soldier and Scout, are playable in the demo. Only one "Create a Character" slot is open for each class, but customization for chassis is not available yet. Players can only level up to Level 3 in each class. The only map available is "Molten", and the two gametypes available are Team Deathmatch and Conquest.

==Toy tie-ins==
[[Hasbro]] has confirmed that several toys will be made to tie into the promotion of the video game. These include figures of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Megatron and Soundwave. At [[Toy Fair 2010]], they were confirmed to be part of the [[Generations (toyline)|''Generations'' toyline]].

==Comic adaptation==

[[IDW Publishing]] is bringing out a comic based on the game. News of this first got leaked when [[Australia|Australian]] website JB Hi-Fi offered a ''free'' copy of issue 1 if you pre-ordered the game from them. <ref>[http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/game/ps3/transformers-war-for-cybertron-bonus-comic-book/513755 TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON (Bonus Comic Book)]</ref> Later, it was available for those that purchased either the PS3 or Xbox versions of the game at Sears or Kmart in America. The story is a partial adaptation of the ''Exodus'' book. <ref name="adaptation">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-war-for-cybertron-1-information-and-team-revealed/18661/ Transformers: War For Cybertron #1 Information and Team Revealed]</ref>

The artist to the cover is revealed to be [[Marcelo Matere]], who updated his DeviantArt gallery with the inked version, <ref>[http://mmatere.deviantart.com/art/War-of-Cybertron-Cover-inks-165279485 Inks-only comic cover at Marcelo's DA gallery]</ref> with [[Priscilla Tramontano]] as colorist. <ref>[http://noprips.deviantart.com/art/War-of-Cybertron-Cover-165344432 Colored cover at Priscilla's DA gallery]</ref> [[Alex Irvine]] and [[Don Figueroa]] are writing and drawing, respectively. <ref name="adaptation" />
