Reverb (ROTF)

The name or term "Reverb" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Reverb (disambiguation).

Reverb is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen franchise portion of the live-action film continuity family.

Join the Decepticons. Travel the universe. Meet exciting, unusual species. And kill them.

Reverb is one of the happiest Decepticons around, tackling his assignments with a zeal few others can match. Sure, most of his teammates are a bunch of Gloomy Gusses, but let 'em be. Reverb is having way too much fun just blowing things up and terrorizing the locals. A high-speed chase and things that are flammable, that's what life is all about!

Toys

Revenge of the Fallen

• Reverb (Scout, 2009)

Reverb is a redeco of Knock Out, transforming into a red, white and blue racing motorcycle of undetermined model. In robot mode, he has a non-firing cannon for a right hand. The vehicle side panels, which become leg kibble in robot mode, are held in place by unbolted pegs and tend to pop off during conversion.

Notes

• Reverb's toy bio shares the same basic personality as the unpublished bio for the canceled toy of the same name from the 2007 movie toyline.

• Reverb was designed as an homage to Beast Wars Inferno. Aside from the color layouts (especially the head), his tampographs are references: "Calany Racing" is a rather unfortunate misspelling of "Colony Racing" (as in one of Inferno's most common phrases, "For the colony!"), plus the "97" refers to Inferno's release year (1997).

• That the cowling's "97" looks a lot like "26" in robot mode does not appear to have any significance.

• He also quite coincidentally resembles the Tonka GoBot Dart.
