| This article is about the evil Decepticon. For his heroic counterpart, see Enemy (SG). |
- Enemy is a Decepticon Mini-Cassette from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Enemy takes his name seriously. He defines himself by his opposition to others; he likes to say that the long list of people who hate him shows just how important he is. It doesn't make him a great teammate. In fact, Enemy goes out of his way to not cooperate with his fellow Decepticons, solely to ensure that they don't like him.
On the other hand, his unnatural ability to be despised comes in handy on the battlefield. Enemy is cunning enough to goad the most important of his opponents into focusing on him, drawing them away from their friends and objectives and seriously compromising their usefulness.
He'll make you sound like a robot if you don't watch it.
Fiction
Dreamwave Generation One continuity
While Shockwave led most of the Decepticon army into Iacon, several of Optimus Prime's troops snuck into Kolkular to end Megatron's plan to transform Cybertron into a spacefaring warship. Enemy, the Constructicons, Thrust, and others countered the Autobots when they were discovered. The War Within #5
It's possible that Enemy was merely a miscolored Frenzy or Rumble, even though The War Within didn't shy away from using Micro Change or Diaclone versions of toys as characters.
Toys
Encore
- Soundblaster (2012)
- ID number: 21
- Accessories: Left & right guns, cassette case
- Transformers Encore Enemy is a red and dark blue redeco of the Rumble/Frenzy mold, based on the red version of the Micro Change MC-01 Micross toy. He was included with Encore Soundblaster and Wingthing. As was the case with the other cassettes previously released with Soundblaster, Enemy sports a different sticker in place of his cassette spool image; an image of Fortress Maximus which reveals the city-bot's weak spots when viewed through Soundblaster's clear-red chest door (in the same way Tech Spec decoders work).
Merchandise
Generation 1
- AM Radio & Headset
- Enemy first appeared in 1984 as part of a working AM radio & headset, a piece of merchandise made by Nasta under the "Power Tronic" imprimatur. Featuring a large wearable Decepticon symbol belt-clip, removing this item revealed Enemy, a solid red (with blue thighs and upper arms) simplification of the Rumble/Frenzy mould. Permanently attached to the radio, Enemy could not be removed without breakage, but could nevertheless transform in situ.
- Enemy (voice changer)
- Enemy was given life again the following year when Nasta released a voice-changer in 1985. A large disembodied head, Enemy again looked like a red Frenzy/Rumble, but this time with proper silver face detailing. If a kid talked into a headset that plugged into Enemy's noggin, his voice would be modified to sound robotic. Enemy came with a belt clip, power pack, headset with built-in microphone, and ran on a single 9 volt battery (not included).
Notes
- Enemy is awesome.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Enemy (エネミー Enemī)
