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?!"'''

After Soundwave and his cassettes were discovered spying in Autobot City, Eject and the rest of the Autobot cassettes were sent out by Blaster to counter them. Blaster then joined [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] in searching for the hidden [[Matrix of Leadership]] in the [[Arctic]], where Eject and the other cassettes had to help them fight the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. After Blaster and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] had a fierce one-on-one battle that ended with both of their apparent deaths, Eject and his comrades sorrowfully gathered around Blaster's body. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}  
 
Stricken by depression at Blaster's death, Eject and the other Autobot cassettes were unable to go on a recon mission to uncover information on the [[Madmachine]]. Rodimus Prime soon informed them that Blaster was able to be resurrected as Twincast, which shook them out of their funk. They immediately joined Twincast on the mission and infiltrated [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s battle station mode. While Twincast and the others drove [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] off, Eject accessed a console and listened in on [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s plans. They next headed for [[Chaar]], where they engaged the reborn Soundblaster and his cassettes in another battle, which ultimately led to the destruction of the Madmachine. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}  
 
Eject and the cassettes joined Twincast on a scouting mission to determine the reason for a rash of recent Decepticon attacks. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} They also ran regular patrols together even after the Decepticons had seemingly left Earth. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}  
 
In the final battle with [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s Decepticon forces at the North Pole, Eject and the other Autobot cassettes dogpiled [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]. Eject joined the rest of the Autobots in the super-[[Head Formation]] that allowed [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] to defeat Scorponok. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

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

He held onto this sample as leverage should ever have need to placate the [[Builder Assembly]]; a clone of Lio Convoy would also yield a cloned matrix.


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

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

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

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

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

Soon, the Vehicons were in play, and the Resistance was on the run.


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

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

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

:Eject was available in this [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[exclusive]] reissue of Blaster alongside Steeljaw and Ramhorn. Identical to the ''Encore'' release, the figure has an Autobot symbol tampographed on its abdomen, decaled "Side A" details, and comes with silver chromed weapons. For this release Eject featured a red face (instead of orange), silver plastic (over gray), and a tampographed Autobot symbol (different than the one featured on the ''Encore'' release). Released as part of the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' toyline]], the packaging also has a special foil-detailed outer slip case.

Latest revision as of 01:06, 15 May 2026

The name or term "Eject" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Eject (disambiguation).
Eject is an Autobot Mini-Cassette (ready for some football!) from the Generation 1 continuity family.
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 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!!!

Fiction

[edit]

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

[edit]

The Transformers cartoon

[edit]
"SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR! BAH GAWD!"

After Soundwave and his cassettes were discovered spying in Autobot City, Eject and the rest of the Autobot cassettes were sent out by Blaster to counter them. Blaster then joined Hot Rod in searching for the hidden Matrix of Leadership in the Arctic, where Eject and the other cassettes had to help them fight the Predacons. After Blaster and Soundwave had a fierce one-on-one battle that ended with both of their apparent deaths, Eject and his comrades sorrowfully gathered around Blaster's body. The Mystery of Planet Master

Stricken by depression at Blaster's death, Eject and the other Autobot cassettes were unable to go on a recon mission to uncover information on the Madmachine. Rodimus Prime soon informed them that Blaster was able to be resurrected as Twincast, which shook them out of their funk. They immediately joined Twincast on the mission and infiltrated Trypticon's battle station mode. While Twincast and the others drove Sixshot off, Eject accessed a console and listened in on Galvatron's plans. They next headed for Chaar, where they engaged the reborn Soundblaster and his cassettes in another battle, which ultimately led to the destruction of the Madmachine. The Great Cassette Operation

Eject and the cassettes joined Twincast on a scouting mission to determine the reason for a rash of recent Decepticon attacks.

In the year 2021, Eject and the other cassettes were inside Twincast when a battle caused many Autobots to be infected with "blackballs", fortunately saving them from the same fate. They left Twincast's body before it was shrunken into nothingness by blackballs, and aided in converting him and others into Headmasters.

When the Decepticons posed as Autobots to defame their enemies in the eyes of humanity, Eject and Rewind rode inside 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 and Rumble.

Eject was stationed on Cybertron in 2008. He fielded a distress signal sent by an unknown party, and then passed the ball to his coach, Ultra Magnus, to call the play. Ultra Magnus decided that they would play ball, and Eject was among the players he brought to the field. Together, they helped Soundwave's team in driving the Quintessons off the home court.

Eject was part of Prowl's team, working in conjunction with 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.

Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]
"Where's my little Cat-niss at?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blaster and Soundwave attempted to high-five at the end, but screwed it up and ended up in another brawl, with Eject being dragged into a giant comical dust cloud to fight the Decepticon cassettes again.

Eject participated in a snowball fight with the other Autobots until Wheeljack unveiled his new invention; a robot snowman that fired snowballs from its tummy. It promptly went haywire and Eject scurried inside the protection of Blaster's chest to avoid the barrage of snowballs fired at them. After the Autobots remedied the situation, they cozied-up inside an igloo together for warmth and Eject peeked out from Blaster's chest. Go! Go! issue 18

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

  • Ramhorn / Eject (Mini-Cassette 2-pack, 1986)
Released in the third year of original Transformers toyline, Eject is among the first new-mold cassettes in the line (rather than being pre-Transformers Microman toys). He uses the same mold as Rewind, transforming into a blue microcassette. In this mode, he can fit in the chest compartment of the Blaster or Soundwave toys.
He was available only in a two-pack with Ramhorn in the Hasbro line.
The initial Hasbro releases of Ramhorn/Eject had chromed-gold weapons; subsequent releases used chromed-silver. There are also variations of all new-mold cassettes from this series, in which the cassette back detailing is either a factory-applied foil decal, or painted-on detailing. It is unknown what (if any) correlation there is between the weapon and detailing variants. An even later variation of Eject (with the painted tape details) has the rubsign indent on his arm filled in.
This mold was (much) later used to make Flip Sides, Rosanna, Solarbot, and Shattered Glass Rewind.

In Japan, Eject — like most of the "Cassettebots" and "Cassettetrons" — was originally available only as in individual, on a single card. He was also released again during the Headmasters-themed series in new packaging under a new ID number. It is uncertain how many variants were available throughout his run in Japan; silver weapons with sticker tape detailing has been confirmed with on-card samples.

As part of TakaraTomy's Encore Generation 1 reissue line, Eject was released along with Rewind, Ravage, and Buzzsaw in a "Great Cassette Operation" (カセット大作戦, kasetto dai sakusen) multi-pack, named after the Headmasters cartoon episode. This release of Eject features silver weapons and sticker tape detailing like the original Japanese release, but adds a tiny Autobot symbol tampograph to his stomach. Each tape also comes with a clear cassette storage case.
In 2014, Eject and the rest of the Cassettes were re-released as a lucky draw prize (along with the other two box sets) for the Transformers Celebration 2014 event held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City store's Toys"R"Us, though this was very likely just leftover stock.

However, this release features a red face (instead of orange), silver plastic (over gray), and the aforementioned symbol tampograph is slightly different from the Encore version.
Released as part of the 2008 Universe toyline, the packaging also has a special foil-detailed outer slip case.

Hasbro again released Blaster in 2015 as part of the Platinum Edition toyline. He was co-packed with Perceptor, Eject, Ramhorn, and Steeljaw in a box with an opening front cover.
This release of Eject was, bizarrely, given Ratbat's cassette-mode tampograph. Sure makes it easy to tell which release this one is!
In the United States, this set was officially a Target exclusive, though it was initially only ever found at a single Target store, otherwise only available via the company's website. It was later revealed that multiple Target stores had kept it in their stockroom and eventually put it out on instant clearance many months later. However, it was also stocked by US-based online retailers BigBadToyStore and TFSource, who supposedly obtained it as an import from Asia. It was available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Toys"R"Us stores.
In the United Kingdom, it was both sold at Toys"R"Us stores and officially available via the UK division of Amazon, making this the first official UK release of all the toys contained within! In Spain, it was officially available via the Spanish division of Amazon. In Germany, it was originally available via Bankroft, an online retailer that otherwise specializes in Nerf blasters and accessories, as part of a special "Fan Edition" arrangement through Hasbro Germany, with the help of several German fan sites. Due to low sales, the unsold stock was later sold to Actionfiguren24, a German online retailer that specializes in imported toys, who was able to lower its price for its existing stock of imported Autobot Intel Ops sets as a result.

War for Cybertron: Kingdom

[edit]
Hahahaha... RONALDINHO SOCCEEERR!!!
  • Autobot Blaster & Eject (Voyager Class, 2021)
Part of the fifth wave of War for Cybertron: Kingdom Voyager Class toys, Eject is included with Blaster. He transforms from robot to a stereo cassette that can fit into Blaster's chest (as per the norm), as well as inside the chest of any version of the Siege Soundwave mold. While he lacks fist-holes, he features a hexagonal 5 mm port on each of his forearms, though his translucency makes them difficult to notice. No representation of his two guns are included.
Arriving in stores in December 2021, this set was planned as a package refresh for Legacy wave 1, and to bridge the two lines, Eject is composed of translucent plastic for an "Energon-infused" look that fits in with Legacy's play pattern... which unfortunately can be fragile when used as part of transformation joints. While he's not been reported to be susceptible to breakage, and his joints are fairly thick... take care, just in case.
Like Blaster, Eject's unpaintable parts (notably the torso) are prone to photodegradation.
Eject was redecoed into Shattered Glass Collection Rewind and Legacy: Evolution Rewind.

Once again packed in with Blaster, Eject is a redeco of his War for Cybertron: Kingdom figure, but now cast in non-translucent plastics. Eject is mistransformed in the packaging with his head facing the wrong way in defiance of the instructions, making it much harder to pull out his (entirely painted!) head for the first transformation due to not being able to access the notch on the back.
Eject and Blaster were revealed two hours ahead of the March 7 Hasbro Pulse fanstream via Hasbro Pulse's social media accounts.[4][5] A Target exclusive in the US, the pair went up for preorder later that morning on their website, along with a small number of stock on Pulse.

Notes

[edit]
It's Select and Deject.
  • 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.[6][7] Between the original draft and actual product, Bolts's role was split in two; his attitude and tussle with Frenzy went to Eject, while his fight with Ravage sort of went to Rewind. During their initial ejection from Blaster however, both Eject and Rewind swap color schemes multiple times for the duration of the scene.
  • A couple of disposable class Transformers show up in Transformers: Unicron #2 with Eject's color scheme, but they are probably just generics and not Eject himself.
