Revision as of 23:58, 23 March 2009

The name or term "Salvage" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Salvage (disambiguation).
Salvage is an Autobot from the 2007 movie franchise in the live-action film continuity family.
Have you seen me?

This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.

A creation of the All Spark, Salvage previously worked as a truck with Sparkplug & Son Salvage, and even though he was just an inanimate truck, he's certain he must have been happy. Lacking any further ambitions, he's decided to stay with them, and so long as he's hauling scrap, he remains happy with his life. It sure beats fighting Decepticons!

IDW Transformers (2007) comics continuity

Following the destuction of Megatron and the All Spark, Salvage, along with Landmine and Longarm, somehow came into the possession of Sector Seven, which kept them in a secret base in the Nevada desert. The Reign of Starscream #3

He is presented here as being an existing Autobot rather than an All Spark creation.

    • Accessories: Flatbed cover/claw
Salvage is a redeco of Dropkick, transforming into a customized Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck (or a similar model just different enough to avoid paying a licensing fee). His flatbed cover conceals a giant claw/plier deployed from the tailgate by a sliding knob on top. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode. He also has (non-firing) twin blasters on the underside of each forearm in robot mode.
His deco and the "Sparkplug & Son Salvage" markings may be a double homage, definitely to the red truck from Sanford and Son and possibly to the red pickup Sparkplug Witwicky owned in the Marvel Generation 1 comics.


Trivia

  • Salvage's color scheme and those words "Sparkplug and Son Salvage" printed on his vehicle mode are in fact inspired by the pickup truck from the television show Sanford and Son, according to Hasbro at BotCon 2008.
