Enemy (G1)
| This article is about the evil Decepticon. For his heroic mirrorverse 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
Toys
Encore
- Soundblaster (2012)
- ID number: 21
- Accessories: Left & right guns, cassette case
- 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).
Masterpiece
- Cassettbot VS Cassettron (2017-12-23)
- Japanese ID number: MP-15/16E
- Accessories: Pink tape case, two piledrivers, piledriver mount, left & right "Thruster Guns".
- Issued in a limited edition Masterpiece "Encore" set available from TakaraTomy Mall, along with Stripes, Nightstalker, and Wingthing, Enemy is a redeco of the Masterpiece Frumble mold. Enemy is unique in the set, in that his weapons are not integrated into his alt mode and transformation; he comes with a redeco of the Frumble piledrivers, as well as the silver guns, which he can hold in his hands, can be mounted on his back, or stored inside the piledrivers.
- If purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, the set includes a collector coin, featuring Enemy's face on one side and the Autobot logo and names of all the included characters on the opposite side. The coin is mounted in a card resembling a cassette, similar to the cards housing the coins for MP-15 and MP-16, but styled like Enemy's cassette mode on the "A" side, while the "B" side resembles Stripes's cassette mode.[1]
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).
