| This article is about the Decepticon from Dark of the Moon. For the Decepticon from Generation 2, see Space Case (G2). |
- Space Case is a Decepticon from the Dark of the Moon portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
Space Case is pretty excitable. He thinks humans all look the same and that they're "fleshy and gross". He also underestimates how easy it might be for humans to use his peers' weaponry on him.
He's also fast. Extremely fast. In fact, that's the only reason he hasn't been defeated, as he has a mind that's on the fritz and hence is only slightly more intelligent than the average rock. He thinks he's survived all this time because of all the Cyberglyphs tattooed on his armor, but it's probably because he's just that fast, and fast targets are hard to hit. [1]
Fiction
IDW movie prequel comics
Transformers: Jazz
Shortly after waking up from a flying-related dream, Space Case climbed out of the hole he possibly crashed into and noticed a crack that wasn't there before on the cavern wall. He busted a hole through the crack and was ready to leave when he noticed he was not alone. Hiding on a nearby ledge, he recognized his pursuers as Arcee and Bumblebee along with some Earthling. After hearing a mocking question by Sam about who would hide in a big ol' hole in the ground, he took offense (and his trident), jumped out, and attacked Arcee. A fight broke out, and Space Case apprehensively asked why they were picking on him. Sam responded that they were just trying to help, but as the fight continued, Space Case was having none of it. Realizing he needed to get out, he then proceeded to transform into his jet and fly out of there as fast as he can, away from all of this yelling and towards the outside world, realizing the disastrous consequences of it all. Transformers: Space Case
After using his plasma engines to cause a cave-in that trapped Arcee, Bumblebee and Sam in an underground cavern, he remained in the area when Ratchet came to investigate Arcee's distress call. Despite the advantage of surprise on two separate occasions, and despite the cyberglyphics he had inscribed on his armor in the belief that they would protect him, Space Case was handily defeated by the Autobot medic and fled the scene, swearing ungrammatical revenge. Transformers: Ratchet
Transformers: Arcee Transformers: Starscream
Space Case and several other Decepticons were led to Philadelphia by Starscream, where Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee were harboring their escaped "pet", Brains. Space Case followed Brains to a human female. His attention was briefly averted from her when Sam hit him in the leg with a pipe, and she quickly returned the favor. Carly operated a weapon from one of the fallen Decepticons, blasting Space Case. Though Space Case wasn't destroyed, it did frazzle him enough to allow the two humans to escape. Rising Storm #3
Toys
Dark of the Moon
- Space Case (Deluxe, July 17 2011)
- Accessories: Trident
- A Target-exclusive retool of Terradive with a new head, Space Case transforms into a forward-swept wing fighter jet based on the Sukhoi Su-47. In robot mode, he is armed with a polearm weapon, which can transform between a trident and a spear and stores via C joint clip on his underside in jet mode, or on the back of his left shoulder in robot mode. (This clip is a bit of a reversal from the norm, as the clip is permanently attached to the robot, and the spear weapon is the 3mm bar.) As his jet thrusters swing around to become his hands, they can be left in vehicle configuration to simulate movie-style blasters. [2]
- As with the other Deluxe Target-exclusive "cyber tattoo" versions of Arcee, Bumblebee and Jazz cast out of clear plastic, Space Case is mostly cast in smoky, clear blue plastic and features Cyberglyphics tattooed on his large forward-swept and smaller side wings and on his forearms/thrusters, as well as a larger Cyberglyph on the center of the jet.
- He comes with a comic book by IDW Publishing, Transformers: Space Case.
- In contrast to the rest of his translucent jet body, the back wings and a small square patch near his cockpit are molded of opaque blue plastic, presumably for durability reasons.
Notes
- Space Case's appearance in the comic was a hint at the toy to be released, and not just a reuse of Terradive's character model.
- Speaking of Terradive, Space Case's new noggin was first seen in Terradive's instructions long before it was known the retool would be Space Case.
