| This article is about the Energon-series Autobot. For the Timelines-series Decepticon, see Landquake (Timelines). |
- Landquake is an Autobot from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy
Landquake is almost the dictionary definition of the phrase "gentle giant". Relatively uninterested in combat (unlike his brother, Landmine), Landquake prefers to use his massive strength and endurance to help the Omnicons dig for Energon. However, if the Decepticons bring the fight to him, Landquake is more than willing to teach them a lesson. He may be emotional and sensitive, but he knows how to handle unruly opponents.
Fiction
Dreamwave Energon comic
When Alpha Quintesson sent hordes of Terrorcon drones to ravage Earth, Landquake was part of the team sent to Los Angeles, California to tackle the Insecticon clone army there, under the command of Jetfire. The others in his squad were Bulkhead, Cliffjumper, Perceptor, and Tow-Line. Multiplicity, Pt. 2 He mainly used his armored vehicle mode to run down swarms of the creatures on the ground. Multiplicity, Pt. 3 The team began running low on energy before they were running low on Terrorcons, until Rad turned up in his Energon Volant Accumulator jet and used Energon vapor to give them a recharge. Also Megatron teleported in and scared off the Terrorcons. Multiplicity, Pt. 4
Landquake's head changes back and forth across his appearances. He is first seen in issue #27, with a new head design not based on the toy. However, on the next page, his head is that of the toy. The next time he is shown in robot mode, issue #29, he has the "new" head again.

As a redeco of Landmine he possesses the same excellent defense and four point articulation. There is a slight sculpt difference with Landmine; his thrust-attack arm is assembled upside-down. The attack still works fine and it helps to make Landquake different visually.
- His special power is

Notes
- Landquake himself did not appear in the Energon cartoon. However, his coloration was used to represent the "Energon" upgrade of Landmine, even though the Landquake toy was not released in Japan.
- Landquake sports the same "mountain" logo as Cybertron Brushguard.
