Notes

This book is an encyclopedic examination of the entire Transformers Animated storyline universe. It presents exhaustively thorough character profiles and summaries of the first 2 seasons of the cartoon and the Animated Arrival comic book...all written completely in-universe, in the form of "interviews" with the characters or excerpts from their journals and other in-story media.

"Interstitial" interludes are presented out-of-universe and describe the design process behind the art, animation, and locations, as well as brief story summaries of the Titan Magazine Animated issues. Elements of toy design are covered as well, but comparatively briefly.

There are also an insane number of obscure references to Transformers minutiae culled from the 25-year history of the franchise, as well as other sci-fi and entertainment franchises as well. Basically, all proper nouns and names refer to something or someone, even if that someone is a possibly non-existent character only mentioned once in a letters page of a foreign comic. And that's before we start talking about the numbers: Almost every seemingly incongruous alphanumeric string is a reference to another franchise, be it a Star Trek stardate or a Terminator's official designation. And that's just the content in English—about a third of the book's pages have large stretches covered in Cybertronix. Deciphered, these include non-Transformers-related passages, such as extensive, verbatim quotes from diverse sources ranging from Tennyson's Ulysses to Max Headroom.

Chapter 1 - Autobots

Chapter one covers all Autobots who appear in the first two seasons of the cartoon.

• Optimus Prime by Ultra Magnus
• Ratchet by Lockdown
• Prowl by Captain Fanzone
• Bumblebee by Bulkhead
• Bulkhead by Sari
• Ultra Magnus by Sentinel Prime
• Sentinel Prime by Optimus Prime
• Jazz by Sentinel Prime
• Blurr by Bumblebee
• Dinobots by Blackarachnia
  • Grimlock
  • Snarl
  • Swoop
• Arcee by Ratchet
• Ironhide by Bulkhead
• Wreck-Gar by Ratchet
• Cliffjumper by Bumblebee
• Longarm Prime by Bumblebee
• Wasp by Shockwave
• Omega Supreme by Ratchet

Transformers references

• Pg 15 – Optimus Prime's axe is identified as a Solitarium ultra-axe. Solitarium is a mysterious and powerful element featured in the Japanese Robot Masters storyline.

• Pg 20a – As mentioned in his tech spec, Ratchet is a Protihex Medical Mechanical graduate.

• Pg 20b – Lockdown refers to Ratchet with the nickname “Cool Hand Lube”. This was an epithet coined for the original G1 Ratchet by writer Bob Budiansky, who included it in his original Transformers Universe bio. While it didn't make it into the finished Universe profile, it did appear in an early version printed in Marvel's Transformers Comics Magazine digest collection.

• Pg 34 – Unnamed in the Animated cartoon, the alien planet visited by the young Optimus, Sentinel and Elita-1 populated by giant spiders is here given the named Archa Seven. Presumably, this puts it in the same system as Archa Nine, from the BotCon 2002 comic story, Betrayal.

• Pg 35 – Sentinel Prime's shield is dubbed a Skyboom shield, after the Mini-Con weapon from Armada.

• Pg 44 – Ratchet recalls an old flame from Crystal City, a Cybertronian city that originally appeared in the Generation 1 cartoon episode, The Secret of Omega Supreme.

• Pg 55 – Omega Supreme's profile contains numerous references.

The language describing Omega's strength deliberately hearkens back to Generation 1 Omega's Transformers Universe profile, describing how he can pulverize “steel cubes” of impressive volume and hit diminutive items from a great distance with his head cannon. Numerous Cybertronian units of are used in the process; Omega is said to be able to like 600,000 kilo-units (a measurement used by Bulkhead in the Animated episode Rise of the Constructicons); the dimensions of the aforementioned cube are given in mechanometers (used in the Generation 1 episode, City of Steel and mentioned twice more in the book); and the distance at which he can blast a small object is given in hics (from the Marvel UK 1991 annual story, The Magnificent Six!, and used once more in the book).

Omega is also noted to be armed with concussion blasters (the personal weapon of Generation 1 Soundwave), pulsar bombs (used by the Predacons on two occasions in the Robots in Disguise cartoon), quasar beams (Generation 2 Blowout and Beast Wars Cheetor both wielded quasar cannons), friction cannons (G1 Runamuck was armed with a friction blaster) and aquasting missiles (weapon of choice of the Beast Wars Fuzor Injector).

And finally, Omega has armor enhanced with rheanimum, a metal-strengthening gas which appeared in Marvel's Generation 2 comics.

Real-world references

• Pg 46 – Ratchet speculates that Wreck-Gar must have “27,000 gags” hidden in his trash bin. The number 27 is a running gag in "Weird Al" Yankovic's songs... Al, of course, being the voice actor who played Wreck-Gar.

Errors

• Page 33: The Magnus Hammer is referred to as a "Stormbreaker" hammer instead of "Stormbringer," a previously-given name for the weapon.

Chapter 2 - Decepticons

Character models for all Decepticons who appeared in Animated seasons one and two.

• Megatron by Lugnut
• Blackarachnia by Optimus Prime

• Blitzwing by Lugnut
• Constructicons by Bulkhead
  • Mixmaster
  • Scrapper

• Soundwave by Sari
• Starscream by himself
• Slipstream by Thundercracker
• Thundercracker by Ramjet

Transformers references

• Pg 60 – Mentioned here and restated on pg 127, Megatron's swords are forged from tironium, an extremely tough metal mentioned in the Beast Wars episode Power Surge. As noted in his tech specs, his armor can deflect anti-proton lasers.

• Pg 66 – As on his toy packaging, Lugnut is referred to with the nicknamed, the “Kaon Krusher”.

• Pg 74 – Shockwave's cannon can fire blasts from anywhere in the electromagnetic spectrum, just like Generation 1 Shockwave could.

• Pg 77 – Swindle's gyro gun and scatter blaster are named after the weapons of the original Generation 1 Swindle.

• Pg 81 – Starscream claims to be the handsomest 'bot “this side of the Benzuli Expanse”, a region of space introduced in IDW Publishing's Spotlight: Galvatron.

• Pg 83-84 – Having gone unnamed in the Animated cartoon, Thundercracker, Sunstorm and Skywarp were all given names and powers derived from their Generation 1 counterparts when they were released as toys. The liar and female clones did not get toys, but The AllSpark Almanac carries on the trend; the liar clone is named Ramjet and is noted to have a reinforced nosecone for mid-air collisions, while the female clone gets the brand new name of Slipstream (which was previously revealed at BotCon 2009).

• Pg 88 – Numerous weapons used by Lockdown in the Animated cartoon are here given the names of similar weapons from other corners of the Transformers multiverse. He is armed with sleep nets (from the Generation 1 coloring book, Bumblebee to the Rescue!), nova spray (from the 2007 movie Glu mobile phone game), and a lightning whip (the personal weapon of the G1 Pretender Cloudburst). His chainsaw is also described as being “micro-serrated”, language frequently used to describe the beak of Generation 1 Buzzsaw.

Real-world references

• Pg 66 - Blitzwing calls Lugnut a “five-eyed, no-brained, flying purple people eater,” paraphrasing the 1958 Sheb Wooley song, “Purple People Eater”.

• Pg 82 – Starscream's first sycophantic clone is given the numerical designation #2716057, the serial number of hard-drinking robot Bender from Futurama. The first cowardly clone, meanwhile, is marked #3370318, the serial number of Bender's identical duplicate, Flexo.

Transformers references

• Pg 94 – Swindle plans to imitate Angry Archer's antiquated dialect to help facilitate his next deal with the Darkling Lords of Prysmos. This is a reference to the 1987 Hasbro toyline, Visionaries; Prysmos was the planet upon which that series was set, and the Darkling Lords were the villains of the franchise.

• Pg 101 – The name of Prometheus Black's company is given as Biotech Unbound, referring to the Greek poem, “Prometheus Unbound”, which was also the title of a Beast Machines episode.

• Pg 103 – In the Animated cartoon, the bat-monster is noted as having formerly been Meltdown's lawyer. Here, Captain Fanzone notes that the shark-monster was his stock broker. In addition, he calls it a “Seafood Louis creature”, after the crab salad notable among Transformers fans for having been served at several BotCons.

• Pg 105 – Solon Kitakaze is named after Deathsaurus's cyborg son from the infamously kooky Victory manga.

Real-world references

• Pg 97 – Slo-Mo is here given the first name of Samantha, and on pg 143, the surname of Lomow. So hey, it turns out that her real name is the same as Hasbro Senior Vice President of Global Marketing Samantha Lomow, on whom she was based.

• Pg 105 – Ming-Li is named after author Jim Sorenson's fiancée, Ming-Li Wang. Shana Story is named for a friend of author Bill Forster, Shana Storey, who is credited in the acknowledgments section of their previous book, The Ark II.

• Pg 106 – Porter C. Powell's limousine is branded as a “TUX model”, named for the Tonka GoBot it was designed to resemble.

Transformers references

• Pg 112 – An observation of the events of the first issue of the Animated comic by the trans-dimensional Vector Prime, one of the original 13 Transformers, introduced in the Transformers: Cybertron series. He uses the aforementioned Universal Stream classification system to catalog this manuscript, identifying the Animated cartoon universe as “Malgus 1207.26 Alpha”. The designation is later used again on pg 117.

• Pg 116 -

• Pg 119a – Most of the weapons Swindle sells Lugnut and Blitzwing, and the planets he gets them from, are established, if obscure, Transformers items and locales. Most of them were named in the comic story this page covers, Everything Must Go but a few more things are named here. The full list includes:

• An anti-gravity cannon (from the Find Your Fate Junior book Desert Flight) from the planet Andellor (from the second issue of Blackthorne's Transformers in 3-D comic).
• A triple-crusher cannon (the personal weapon of the G1 Seacon Nautilator) from the planet Talos Four (probably derived from a mistake on TFWIKI.Net, which misspelled Taros Four from the Transformers Collectors Club story The Dark Heart of Sandokan in this manner for a time).
• A decompression pump from Torkulon (as seen in the Generation 1 episode Webworld).
• Glass Gas (the personal weapon of G1 Cliffjumper) and a Digital Impact Mace (the weapon of choice of BotCon 2000 exclusive toy Apelinq) from the planet Dahros (a misspelling of the planet Darhos, from The Headmasters anime episode, Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!.)
• Super glue from the Menonia (an other-dimensional world visited in the G1 episode Madman's Paradise).
• An omega bomb (from the G1 episode The Quintesson Journal) from Ganzvort (mentioned in G1 Rewind's Transformers Universe profile).
• Two nemesis shields (from the Armada Playstation 2 video game) from Garo and Com (both from the Beast Wars Neo episode, Mach Kick Voluntarily Enlists!?; “Com” is a misspelling of the planet's correct name, “Comb”).
• A Chaosmaster bomb (from issue #4 of the Marvel Generation 2 comic) from Xeptos (a subatomic planet mentioned in the biography of the eHobby exclusive toy, Magnificus).
• Circuitry repair patches from Cheyne (from issue #63 of the Marvel Generation 1 comic).

• Pg 119b – Optimus's evaluation form is rendered in the style of classic Transformers Tech Specs, but not any one particular design. The training exercise from the comic story “Survival Skills” is revealed to have taken place on Kaiba-5, a planet mentioned in the 2007 live-action movie video game as having been destroyed by Ironhide.

• Pg 124-125

• Pg 127 – Unnamed in the original comic, “Bots of Science”, Ratchet here notes that he has dubbed the cure for Cosmic Rust “Corrostop”, which was, of course, the name of the cure invented in the Generation 1 episode that originally introduced the disease (and was later name-dropped by Rodimus Prime in the Animated episode, TransWarped). Its ingredients include Ingredient X (also a component of Corrostop in the G1 episode in question) and razon gas, from the Kid Stuff storybook When Continents Collide.

• Pg 134 – The Elite Guard ship is here given the name the Steelhaven, after the craft commanded by Fortress Maximus in the Generation 1 Marvel comic.

• Pg 136 – Sari's notebook paper is decorated with an illustration of “Hello Nekomimi Pop-Star”, a chibified, “Hello Kitty”-style version of Nekomimi A from the Energon episode, “Distribution”. Nekomimi B appears on pg 147 in a similar fashion.

• Pg 138-139

• Pg 145 – Ultra Magnus's memoir is prefaced with a haiku from “Sky-Byte, Decepticon poet”, referencing the loveable haiku-writing Predacon Sky-Byte from Robots in Disguise. He has to be Decepticon here, of course, because there are no Predacons in the Animated universe. In the course of this page, Magnus mentions mitotic sparks, a term from Magmatron's Beast Machines toy bio, the Angarix Sector, a region of space introduced in the Generation 1 episode, The Quintesson Journal.

• Pg 148 – Megatron refers to the act of branding the Constructicons with the Decepticon symbol as the “Rite of the Deceptibrand,” after the Autobot equivalent, the “Rite of the Autobrand”, from issue #14 of the Marvel Generation 1 comic.

Real-world references

It is outfitted with Deckard cannons (named for Rick Deckard from Blade Runner), Samus-blasters (named for Samus Aran from Metroid), and isomorphic controls preventing anyone other than Lockdown from piloting it, as does Doctor Who's TARDIS.

literary elements

Including the copyright information, title page, foreword and afterwords, notes from the authors and acknowledgments.

Transformers references

• Pg 9a – Sorenson and Forster hail from universal stream Quadwal -3760.925 Theta. Universal streams are a means of classifying the numerous Transformers universes devised by authors Greg Sepelak and Trent Troop, which first appeared in the Transformers Collectors Club story, Withered Hope. This particular classification, however, makes no sense, save for the “Theta” suffix, which indicates a “spoken word” or “live performance” scenario. The “-” sign also indicates they're from an evil parallel universe, akin to the Shattered Glass fiction introduced at BotCon 2008, the only other universal stream to be marked like this. “Don't ask,” the authors say.
  • But we're the goddamned Transformers Wiki, so screw that "don't ask" stuff. We're nerds, we're gonna do this thing. "Quadwal" is an obvious play on "fourth wall," which is what this universal stream is breaking. September 25, 3760 BC is the first day of the Hebrew calendar, specifically the date some believe Creation began. (So that "-" sign has a double meaning!) So Sorenson and Forster hail from the Real Life Universe, or the negative universe version of it, hence why they are incarcerated criminals.

• Pg 9b – The Reverse-Pretender technology used by Sorenson and Forster is a reference to several 1980s Transformers toy commercials, which featured a child leaping into the air and transforming into Ultra Magnus.

Errors

• Page 2: In the indicia, the latter "r" is left out of "characters".
