Fiction

Animated cartoon

Transformers: Class Wars

Because those giant robots hadn't caused him enough headaches already, Porter C. Powell decided to pull some strings and buy himself an AllSpark fragment on the black market. Exactly what he intended it for is unknown, for while in transit, his car was attacked by the Angry Archer, and in the commotion, the fragment made contact with the limousine's dashboard and metamorphosed it into Stretch. The vain and status-obsessed Decepticon nearly bankrupted Powell, who had to make an uneasy alliance with his old rival Isaac Sumdac in order to solve this problem. The two lured Stretch into the Sumdac Tower space bridge, and he was gone in a flash. He'd like to think it was the most beautiful and impressive flash. Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II

Notes

  • As noted at both BotCon 2008 and on the DVD audio commentary for "Garbage In, Garbage Out", Powell's limousine was based on the Renegade GoBot Tux because another member of the production staff still owned one from childhood. When the idea came about to turn the limo into a Transformer for The AllSpark Almananc II, the resultant robot was named "Stretch", which was the alternate name that Tux was known by in the Challenge of the Go-Bots cartoon.
    • Artist Laurent Libessart was commissioned to create Stretch's robot mode by Jim Sorenson, and he carried on the theme by directly basing his design on Tux. Derrick J. Wyatt then made adjustments to the head design and coloration,<ref>http://a-loft-on-cybertron.deviantart.com/art/Animated-Tux-170660163</ref> replacing his original Tux-based face with a new one that was even more of a caricature of a high society tycoon, with a monocle and "Hollywood gap grin" to go along with his top hat.
    • Stretch's fate—being banished across dimensions, here specifically called "levels", another bit of GoBots parlance—coupled with his cartoon-derived name, seem to combine to suggest that Animated Stretch and Challenge of the GoBots Stretch could actually be one and the same character.
  • The story of Stretch is recounted in flashback by Powell himself and is specifically set after the events of the cartoon series, since the Autobots are said to have already returned to Cybertron. There had not previously been clear canonical evidence that AllSpark fragments remained at large on Earth after Prowl and Jazz attempted to reunite them all in "Endgame, Part II"; now we know they must not have gotten them all.
