:''Eject is an [[Autobot]] [[Autobot Mini-Cassette|Mini-Cassette]] ('''ready for some football!''') from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:EjectVisualworks.jpg|250px|thumb|Skree! Unnecessary roughness, unnecessary roughness!]]
The best way to describe '''Eject''' is that he is always ''ready for some football!'' A confirmed Earth-sports junkie, Eject constantly scans the airwaves for everything from baseball, basketball, football, soccer, hockey, ''anything'', from professional to academic-level competition. This occasionally interferes with his job as a surveillance agent, should a game go into overtime when he should be monitoring [[Decepticon]] activity. Sports clichés and terms litter his speech: "home runs", "touchdowns", "gooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooal!!" and, of course, "Are you'' '''ready for some football?!"'''

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

During the Battle of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], Eject sacked [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] in mid-air while defending [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] in the communications tower. They continued grappling with each other as the "Mini-Cassette War" raged on.  {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

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

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

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

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

Eject was among the many Autobots who congregated in a secret base during the [[Age of Internment]], when the recently-returned [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] covered the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], capturing countless Autobot heroes and sending the remnants of the army underground. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Age of Wrath|War Within: The Age of Wrath}}

[[File:Eject-blackhorizon.jpg|250px|thumb|The CHIFFON! Pick the CHIFFON! No, not the taffeta!]]
Eject was part of [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s team, working in conjunction with [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] to round up stray Cybertronian technology on Earth. When the Autobots disrupted one of [[Destro]]'s sales on a dock in [[Cuba]], Eject wound up taking on eight [[S.N.A.K.E.]] armored robots by himself.  

''And he won.''

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

''Eject got away without a scratch.''

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

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

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:G1Eject toy.jpg|250px|thumb|RIBEIB, or EIBRIB? The (lesser) debate continues...]]
*'''Eject & Ramhorn''' (Cassette 2-pack, 1986)
**''Accessories'': 2 "Thruster Guns"

:Among the first new-mold cassettes in the line (rather than being pre-''Transformers'' ''[[Microman]]'' toys), Eject shares the same mold as [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]], transforming into a blue microcassette. In this mode, he can fit in the chest compartment of the [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] or [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] toys. He was available only in a two-pack with [[Ramhorn (G1)|Ramhorn]] in the [[Hasbro]] line.

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

: This mold was (much) later used to make [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flip Sides]], [[Rosanna (KP)|Rosanna]], and [[Solarbot]].

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

*''Japanese:'' '''Eject''' (イジェクト ''Ejekuto'')
*''French:'' '''Ejecteur''' (Canada, "Ejector")
