This article is about the Unicron Trilogy Autobot. For the Generation 1 Autobot, see Landmine (G1).

Landmine is an Autobot from the Unicron Trilogy.

Landmine is a fighter. He lives by a soldier's code, and thrives on honor and loyalty to his comrades and commanders. Unlike his brother Landquake, he thoroughly enjoys the life of a warrior.

In his millennia of existence, he has trained a number of warriors, including Mudflap and Optimus Prime.

Fiction

Animated continuity

Energon

When Rodimus left Cybertron eons ago, Landmine was one of the Transformers who chose to go with him. Serving as a traffic guard until the war escalated, Landmine boarded Rodimus' vessel along with his co-worker and partner, Prowl, a patrol officer. Landmine would become Rodimus' right-hand soldier and his personal bodyguard.

Landmine returned to Cybertron during the Powerlinx Battles to assist Rodimus in reviving Unicron and the Planet Q system. Although Landmine served his commander without question, he was sometimes unsure of their ultimate agenda. Landmine joined Optimus Prime's team when Rodimus surrendered his leadership to Prime. Landmine is one of the oldest Autobots currently serving the armed forces of Cybertron.

Cybertron

Now under the command of Optimus Prime, Landmine opened up more to his new friends. No longer a stranger to Optimus Prime's men, he became a soldier and a mentor to the others due to his wisdom and experience. When the Unicron Singularity threatened Cybertron, Landmine was quick to aid his commander in trying to solve this enormous problem. During the evacuation of Cybertron, Landmine was attacked by Starscream and was nearly flung into the black hole, only to be saved by a warp-gate from Vector Prime's sword.

Landmine ended up crashing on Earth. Injured in the crash, Landmine would be found by Coby, Bud and Lori. After being patched up by Coby, Landmine took quite some time to recover, but remained eager to get back at Starscream.

  • Landmine (Ultra, 2004)
Landquake transforms into an orange, blue, and grey half-track tow-truck vehicle. The cab portion of the vehicle mode is the main robot, while the back end can either form an artillery platform or combine with Landqmine in his "brute mode", giving him massive claws and a heavy artillery backpack.
The mold was later redecoed as Landquake.
