Editing Brazil

'''Brazil''', the '''Federative Republic of Brazil''' in full, is the largest country of the [[South America]]. It is located along the continent's east coast and borders [[Venezuela]], [[Peru]], [[Argentina]], and [[Uruguay]]. The country is divided in states, of which [[Mato Grosso (state)|Mato Grosso]] is one. Another is São Paulo, home to the city São Paulo, which is Brazil's largest city and also one of the largest in the world.

When the Autobots prepared to go to [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] per [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], they apparently were located in Brazil. {{storylink|The God Gambit}}

The [[Decepticon]]s built their [[crystal satellite]] and its launch complex in the jungles of [[Mato Grosso (state)|Mato Grosso]]. This much to [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s dismay, as the jungle humidity had a detrimental effect on his cassette drives. Nobody cared. Once the final piece, a large diamond, had been placed atop the satellite, it was launched into orbit. The [[Autobot]]s had taken note of their enemy's activities however, so [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] blew up the launch complex and withdrew with his troops back to base to continue to monitor and control the crystal satellite's mission in safety. {{storylink|Satellite of Doom}}

The Decepticons' scheme failed and some time later, Megatron and Soundwave returned to the site of the former launch complex, which had been reabsorbed by the jungle. Megatron commented that he aimed to get the [[oil]] underneath the South American jungles. As the two Decepticons spoke, a local Native American approached and, armed with a blowgun and poisoned darts, took a shot at Soundwave, but the dart just bounced off. Megatron and Soundwave were not impressed, but supposedly left him alone. 

Since the Autobots stopped the Decepticons' plan in [[Peru]], the Decepticons never got far enough to drain so much as a drop of oil from underneath Brazil. {{storylink|Storms of Destruction}}

===The Official Transformers: Generation 2 Annual===
[[File:The Dinobots! aggressive Snarl.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb]]
Millions of years ago, the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' crashed on [[Earth]], leaving only four Autobots partially active. The ''Ark'' reconstructed them after the planet's dominant lifeform, [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]. Renaming themselves [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], the four explored the land and at least [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] were in the area that would become Brazil when they were deactivated due to a meteorite crashing up a dust layer that robbed them of their solar radiation. 

In 1994, chaotic deforestation of the jungle that had grown over Snarl's and Grimlock's temporary grave reawakened them. The other Autobots, reawakened since a while too, noticed the [[Transformer]]-coded power emission the Dinobots were producing and went to check. The [[Decepticon]]s followed suit once [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] had reported on the power emission. At first the Dinobots, controlled by their dinosaur programming, attacked the Autobots, but once the Decepticons showed up, Grimlock and Snarl came to their senses and fought them instead. They reintroduced themselves to the other Autobots and promised to rejoin their forces once they'd found their two missing teammates. {{storylink|The Dinobots!}}

====Autobot Campaign====
As per [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s instructions, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] met up with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] in São Paulo. While discussing the presence of large numbers of Decepticons in the area, a [[protoform]] suddenly crashed at a few miles distance. Optimus Prime rushed to the location and recruited the protoform. Then [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] showed up, having also intended to claim the protoform, and Optimus Prime attacked him while Ratchet instructed the new recruit away from the scene and back to the city area. Following Ratchet's orders, the recruit [[Scanning|scanned]] a nearby car and adopted a vehicle form. Next, he met up with Bumblebee and Ironhide, who worried about his ability to stay alive in battle. A subsequent attack by the Decepticons allowed the recruit to show his worth, particularly by killing a Decepticon recruit. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Autobots}}

====Decepticon Campaign====
As per [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]'s instructions, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] met up with [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] in São Paulo. Decepticon-style pleasant talk was cut short when a [[protoform]] suddenly crashed at a few miles distance. Starscream rushed to the location and recruited the protoform. Then [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] showed up, having also intended to claim the protoform, and Starscream attacked him while Soundwave instructed the new recruit away from the scene and back to the city area. Following Soundwave's orders, the recruit [[Scanning|scanned]] a nearby car and adopted a vehicle form. Next, he met up with Sideways and Grindor, who were quick to call him a liability. A subsequent attack by the Autobots allowed the recruit to show his worth, particularly by killing an Autobot recruit. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Decepticons}}

==Notes==
* During [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], [[Estrela]] held the license to manufacture and market ''Transformers'' toys in Brazil. The Estrela line-up was unique to Brazil and included several molds from companies other than [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]. It also was the only line-up to include the [[Bumper (G1)|Mini Vehicle Familia mold]].
*An unproduced joke for the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Cyberverse]]'' episode "[[Trials]]" would have involved [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] popping into Brazil during a music festival. He would then crash the concert and hang out.<ref>"[https://shikai-the-storyteller.tumblr.com/post/613237429097365504/i-absolutely-didnt-go-back-through-and-edit-this Transformers: Cyberverse – Mae Catt Q&A Session (Unedited Edition)]"</ref>
