| |
| *'''Optimus Primal''' (Deluxe, 2000)
| |
| **''Accessories'': Energy shuriken
| |
|
| |
| The first Beast Machines Optimus Primal is a dark bronze and translucent blue technorganic gorilla that transforms into a technorganic robot. His right robot-mode arm is spring-loaded to throw the shuriken that stores in his left leg (the ape mode's left shoulder). Like all Beast Machines toys, he has a hidden "spark crystal" that displays his faction allegiance; Primal's is in his chest, revealed with the spring-loaded "flexing" motion that also moves his beast-mode face up for snarling while posing. His robot-mode head also features a changing expression via sliding brow/skullcap.
| |
|
| |
| Official Hasbro stock photography of this toy shows a differently-molded shuriken, lacking the "energy flame" effect.

| |
|
| |
| : A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]], Obsidian transforms into a Cybertronic dual-rotor helicopter similar in design to the "Osprey". In both modes, his rotors can be used as missile-blades through a pressure-launch mechanism.
| |
|
| |
| : This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Obsidian. It was considered for use as the [[Wrecker]] [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]], which never made it past the hand-painted sample stage.

| |
| *'''Hoist with Refute''' (Deluxe, 2003)
| |
| **''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-11'''
| |
|
| |
| : Smokescreen returned in a new body with the name "Hoist", transforming into a Cybertronic excavator, with a new Mini-Con partner [[Refute]] (who, in Japan, was just the upgraded form of Liftor). Plugging a Mini-Con onto his right arm unlocks his shovel-arm punch attack. The feature remains unlocked until the block is manually returned to its latched position.
| |
|
| |
| : The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version had a fairly significant color difference from the [[Hasbro]] version, replacing his dark brown plastic with a swirled, semi-translucent gunmetal.
| |
|
| |
| : The same mold (with the molded Autobot sigil replaced by a smooth block for a sigil [[tampograph]]) is used by ''Universe'' [[Ransack (Universe 2003)|Ransack]]. A heavily-[[retool]]ed version of the mold is used by ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]] and [[BotCon 2006]]'s [[Dinobot (BW)#Timelines|Darksyde Dinobot]].
| |
|
| |
| : This mold has a common misassembly error; his left arm's ratchet-joint is off a notch, preventing the arm from "clicking" to a proper level-with-the-ground position in vehicle mode.

| |
| **''Accessories:'' Corona Sparkplug Mini-Con, trailer/armor, light-up rifle, missile, left & right smokestacks
| |
|
| |
| : An extensive late-run redeco of the Super Base ''Armada'' Optimus Prime toy, "Powerlinx" Optimus Prime sports the darker colour scheme the character takes on in the [[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|''Armada'' cartoon]] episode "[[Origin]]" following a Mini-Con power-up, but he is not precisely [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]]—the deco would later be fine-tuned with more accurate details for release in Japan as the Magna Convoy DX giftset ([[#MagnaConvoyDX|see below]]). In addition to now sporting fully-mobile Super Mode arms without the movement-impeding tabs, Prime still comes with all his features and accessories, though for this release, his Mini-Con partner Sparkplug got retooled with a new rear chassis and a blinged-out golden chrome body as "Corona Sparkplug".

|
| |
| :Snow Cat transforms into a ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' [[Snow Cat (G.I. Joe)|"Snow Cat" SAM half-track]] cast in primarily white and light blue plastics, with clear and burgundy for accents. In vehicle mode, the front wheel-hubs and side-skirts can be lowered to form skis for the vehicle to travel on, while the sideskirt-skis fold down from his feet in robot mode to allow him to "ski". He features twin spring-loaded missile launchers available to him in both modes; in robot mode, they end up as a back-mounted over-shoulder assembly. Unusually for Transformers of this era, he has a visible cockpit interior with a partially frosted windshield and working windshield wiper, further homaging the ''G.I. Joe'' toy he was designed after.

| * '''Omega Supreme''' (Supreme, 2004)
| |
| ** ''Japanese ID number'': '''SC-22'''
| |
| ** ''Accessories'': 2 missiles
| |
|
| |
| : ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Omega Supreme is nominally composed of two major components, the '''Omega Train'''—a train engine with a large construction arm on its caboose—and the '''Omega Battleship'''—a multi-gunned space battleship. Both components can link together in vehicle mode to form the '''Cybertronian Armoured Super Train''', and can be reconfigured into ground based weapon emplacements. Additionally, the two parts Powerlinx combine together, along with the '''Omega''' Headmaster component to form the robot '''Omega Supreme''', or without the Headmaster to form '''Omega Grand'''.
| |
|
| |
| : In this mode, Omega Supreme vaguely looks like his Generation 1 namesake. He features an extending claw gimmick on his right arm, along with electronic lights and sounds in his left arm, with both gimmicks accessible in all modes and combinations. Additionally, there are Mini-Con compatible [[5mm post]]s on both sides of both shoulder. There is an [[Energon star|Energon Chip]] connector on the ship's deck/left hand, as well as a 5mm post hole on either side.
| |
|
| |
| : He can combine with ''Energon'' Optimus Prime to form '''Powerlinx Omega Supreme''' (called '''Optimus Supreme''' in the cartoon, as noted above), with Optimus sitting inside Omega Supreme's chest cavity. The Omega head component, capable of transforming into its own robot mode, can be stored in Omega Supreme's right shoulder while in the Optimus Supreme configuration. This configuration also allows the attachment of Optimus Prime's [[Prime Force]] drone limb team or the dis-articulated parts of [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] as auxiliary weapons.
| |
|
| |
| : The main difference between the US ''Energon'' and Japanese ''Superlink'' releases is the latter version used silver paint on his thighs and biceps, to give more uniformity to the colour scheme, and has orange paint on his face to make it stand out better underneath the head canopy.
| |
|
| |
| : This mold was [[redeco]]ed into "[[The Powerlinx Battles]]" [[Omega Sentinel (Energon)|Omega Sentinel]], and was [[retool]]ed and redecoed to make the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' "Year of the Snake" [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]].

| |
| *'''Metroplex''' (Leader Class, 2005)
| |
| **''Japanese ID number:'' '''GC-23'''
| |
| **''Accessories:'' "Sparkdrinker", gold Giant Planet Cyber Planet Key
| |
|
| |
| : Metroplex transforms into a Gigantion bucket-wheel excavator. In this mode, his bucket-wheel/shovel assembly is on a rotator and contains numerous ratchet-joints, plus the wheel can spin, though it does not do so freely. This assembly becomes Metroplex's colossal axe "[[Sparkdrinker]]" in robot mode, plus has a spot on the shovel to attach Drill Bit in his vehicle mode. Plugging a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into the Key jack on Sparkdrinker opens up the wheel to form the axe-head, plus activates an electronic light. Due to him having a similar hand design to [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|Optimus Prime]], he can use Optimus's rifle, while Optimus can use his giant Sparkdrinker weapon.
| |
|
| |
| : Like his fellow Gigantions [[Quickmix (Cybertron)|Quickmix]] and [[Menasor (Cybertron)|Menasor]], Metroplex has two different robot modes: a full-sized standard mode and a shorter, sturdier "work" mode.
| |
|
| |
| : He comes with his Mini-Con partner Drill Bit and a gold-bordered, Gigantion-style Cyber Planet Key. The [[Hasbro]] version has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] "'''lm74'''" on the back of the Cyber Planet Key.
| |
|
| |
| : The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Galaxy Force'' '''Megalo Convoy''' version features some ''very'' [[neon|bright blue]] paint applications on his shoulders and lower legs where the Hasbro version has dark blue paint. Additionally, he features more dark blue paint on the caterpillar tracks on his feet. Megalo Convoy also came packed with a metallic painted version of [[Legends Class]] class [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#MegaloConvoy|Optimus Prime]].
| |
|
| |
| : Metroplex has a grand total of 14 Mini-Con hardpoints.

| |
| *'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
| |
| **''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''
| |
|
| |
| : Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the robot mode very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint application. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over them.
| |

| *'''Grimlock''' (Voyager, 2008)
| |
| **''Japanese ID number:'' '''TA-17'''
| |
| **''Accessories'': Flaming sword
| |
|
| |
| : Part of the third wave of ''Animated'' Voyagers, Grimlock transforms into a robotic [[Popular beast alternate modes|tyrannosaurus rex]] with a spring-loaded chompy-jaw. A mechanized switch in the right robot-mode wrist interacts with a spring-loaded feature in his fiery sword, revealing pop-out flames when the wrist is tilted. Purely by coincidence, a peg on his left leg is the exact right size to serve as a [[Powerlinx]] port for any [[Mini-Con]].
| |
|
| |
| : The [[Instructions|instruction sheet]] for this toy has an error in step two, in which his mid-back region (with the three hash marks on either side) is shown as both unfolding backwards to form part of his feet ''and'' staying where it is. Also, despite a claim on the packaging that Grimlock's sword can be fitted into his beast mode's mouth to simulate breathing fire, this is sadly not possible.
| |
|
| |
| : Some Grimlocks have been reported with legs that are impossible to shorten into arms for robot mode. Others contract, but the two halves of the thighs/shoulders start to separate when they do. Others still have no problem. It looks like a quality control issue rather than a running change to fix the problem, as the most recently bought Grimlocks still suffer with this issue.

| |
|
| |
| :Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class]] toys, Brawn is a new-sculpt toy of the original Brawn inspired by his [[character model]], transforming into a generic SUV that takes some design cues from a [[Wikipedia:Land Rover Discovery|Land Rover Discovery Series II]] and a [[Wikipedia:Jeep Cherokee (XJ)|Jeep Cherokee XJ]] with a bullbar mounted on the front. His spare tire, mounted on his back end in vehicle mode, is actually a free-spinning wheel just like the normal four, and the same size as the front wheels... meaning that, in theory, it could be used as an ''actual'' spare tire.
| |
|
| |
| :Amusingly enough, his robot-mode arms are upside-down inside the packaging, with his shoulders somewhere around hip-level.
| |
|
| |
| :Official [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicting a [[prototype|pre-production sample]] in and out of packaging featured the tires in the same green plastic color as the vehicle shell. They were changed to black plastic for the mass production version.

| |
| *'''Dead End''' or '''Detour''' (Scout Class, 2009)
| |
| **''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-07'''
| |
| : Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Scout Class toys, Dead End converts from a modified red and black [http://www.carsbase.com/photo/Peugeot_9009_Concept_model_6893.html Peugeot 9009] concept car to a robot with a bird-like head vaguely resembling [[wikipedia:Hawkman|Hawkman]]'s mask/helmet. Interestingly, while Dead End has no neck articulation, he does have a movable ''jaw''; the entire top of his head hinges backward, revealing a lower jaw and teeth. However, added plastic (most likely [[for safety reasons]]) makes his chest-plate unable to fold down all the way. As a result, many owners don't even see Dead End's lower jaw, and assume the upper jaw to be the entire head. It is possible to hinge the full head upwards by pulling on the lower jaw's cheek detailing.
| |
|
| |
| :Before solid information regarding the name of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class toy became available, sellers of stolen [[prototype]]s alternatively referred to him as "Dead End"<ref name="scoutdeadend">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/images-of-new-rotf-figure/14674/ Seibertron reporting] on a rumor identifying the red ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class toy as "Dead End".</ref> and "Detour"<ref name="detour1">[http://tformers.com/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-dead-end-really-detour/10583/news.html TFormers reporting] on a Chinese Taobao seller identifying the red ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class toy as "Detour".</ref>. Eventually the former name won out... but ultimately it turned out the name "Detour" hadn't come out of thin air either: Early shipments of the European release of the toy featured the name "Detour" on the cardboard insert on the packaging's front (the cardback and the instruction sheet still call him "Dead End", however), as did the official in-packaging [[stock photography|stock photo]] of the European version<ref name="detour2">[http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/rotf-decepticons-384/dead-end-scout-2113/ Official Hasbro stock photos of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Scout Class Dead End], including European "Detour" version in packaging</ref>.

The vehicle cowling panels, which become leg kibble in robot mode, are only held in place by pegs and tend to fall off during conversion.

| |
| **''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-04'''
| |
|
| |
| :Sideswipe transforms into a silver Corvette Stingray concept car. In this mode, he sits so low that it's difficult to roll him without scraping his undercarriage, unless you perform some careful shaping after transforming him. Sideswipe's [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is in his knees—bending his legs causes the blue armor plates on his knees to extend. He does have wheels in his feet like his character model, but the toy's feet have been designed in such a way that it can stand alone. Rounding out his robot-mode awesomeness, his hips have an "invisible joint" and moving pistons, while his "blades" are geared to spin out in unison. He is ''totally awesome''.
| |
|
| |
| :Sideswipe's instructions aren't clear as to how his torso is supposed to connect with his chest in robot mode. The torso piece has a square peg on top of it and there is a corresponding square hole between the two screws holding the front of his chest together. Getting his torso section in front of his arm struts can be a somewhat snug fit.

| |
|
| |
| :''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Legends Class]] "Motorbreath" (named so for [[trademark]] reasons) is a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers:]] [[Reveal the Shield]]'' Legends Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|Optimus Prime]]. He features new hands and a hole on his head/[[Alternate mode|vehicle]] roof compatible with [[C joint|3mm post]]s, and comes with a compatible sword (sculpted after ''Generation 1'' Motomaster's sword) that features two posts and a hole, allowing it to be held and mounted in different ways. Originally developed by Hasbro Asia for release in their territories, Motorbreath was later released together with various other formerly "Asian-[[exclusive]]" toys as a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusive in the United States for the 2012 holiday season.
| |
|
| |
| :This retooled version of the sculpt (including the sword) was later redecoed for a [[Variant#Tooling|running change variant]] of the "Dollar Store"-exclusive version of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#DollarLegends|Optimus Prime]], and was also redecoed without the sword as [[EZ Collection#Transformers: EZ Collection Gum|''EZ Collection Gum'']] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#EZ Collection Gum|Optimus Prime]].

He was sold individually alongside [[Triceradon (DOTM)|Triceradon]], [[Dualor (DOTM)|Dualor]] and [[Catilla (DOTM)|Catilla]]. His jointing allows him to stand on his hind-feet as well as assume a normal flying position.
| |
|
| |
| : A great many samples of Rav have their [[Powerlinx]] socket hideously warped to the point of uselessness. Be careful.
| |

He comes in two different colors; "Gob 1" is solid black plastic, "Gob 2" is reddish-purple.
| |
|
| |
| : Gob was initially available through [[Gacha]] capsule vending machines, first appearing in early June of 2012. Gob 1 came in a clear-teal capsule, while Gob 2 came in a clear-pink capsule. On [[August 20]] of 2012, he was released as part of the [[Arms Micron Gum]] series, though only "Gob 2" was part of this assortment.

| |
|
| |
| : Although the paint operations for the head and the "collar" are mostly [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]], the fact that the black paint operations also include the [[mouthplate]] (which is silver on the [[character model|animation model]]), combined with the purple paint operations on each side of the mouthplate, makes it look as if Soundwave had a huge black head with two purple eyes.

| :The back of the [[packaging]] mistakenly switches their names, resulting in Hun-Gurr getting Twinstrike's name, Windrazor getting Hun-Gurrr's, Rippersnapper getting Windrazor's, and Twinstrike being called "Predacon Rippersnapper". Guess Blight got lucky.
