Weirdwolf (G1)
- Weirdwolf is a Decepticon Headmaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Weirdwolf puts the "weird" in "Weirdwolf". He doesn't just like to talk to himself, he really likes to talk to himself. Ceaselessly. And to make matters worse, he doesn't even do it very well. He likes to talk in a strange backward speak few can make sense of but himself.
This personality quirk might seem cute at first, but once other Decepticons realize he's totally off his nut, they do their best to avoid speaking with Weirdwolf. He's just too weird.
Weirdwolf is binary-bonded to the Nebulon Monzo, who really wishes he'd shut up.

Generation 1
- (Note: Events in italics are from UK-only stories.)
Weirdwolf was among Scorponok's troops which followed Fortress Maximus and his Autobots from Cybertron to the peaceful planet Nebulos. After the Decepticons were soundly defeated by the Autobots, upgraded with Headmaster technology, Weirdwolf was one of the Decepticons who underwent the Headmaster process to even the odds. Now binary bonded to the Nebulan Monzo, he and the other Decepticons defeated and captured the Autobot Headmasters. Love and Steel!
The Autobot Headmasters escaped, and the Decepticons followed the Autobots from Nebulos to Earth, where the two factions battled in the vacant Mount Saint Hilary. Though Fortress Maximus's Headmaster partner, the Nebulan Galen, was killed, Weirdwolf and the other Decepticons were driven off when Spike Witwicky replaced him. Trial by Fire!
When Decepticons from the future travel back in time to 1989, following a group of Autobots attempting to stop a rift in space-time from swallowing the entire universe, Weirdwolf and several other Decepticons are displaced to Limbo. Time Wars, Part 3 Presumably, they are returned when the future Decepticons left for their own time near the end of the ensuing battle.
Scorponok's Decepticons soon met up with the group of Decepticons stranded on Earth led by Ratbat. Starscream aggravated the two sides towards a civil war. During the following Decepticon-on-Decepticon battle, Weirdwolf was run over by Astrotrain. Cold War! The Decepticons stopped their civil war and teamed up with the Autobots when it was discovered that Starscream had orchestrated the whole affair to distract from his pursuit of the legendary Transformers knowledge database, the Underbase. In the wake of this event, Scorponok assumed command of all Decepticons and, with Weirdwolf's help, placed a new headquarters, including an Energon convertor, under a swamp near New York City. King Con!

- Weirdwolf (1987)
- Japanese ID number: D-86
- Weirdwolf transforms into a mostly yellow robotic wolf. He has some articulation in his legs (mostly in his forelegs), and his jaw can open. A clear red canopy on his back opens to reveal a cockpit/storage compartment for his Headmaster partner, Monzo. His beast mode tail has a blade on its underside, later serving as a shortsword in robot mode.
- As with many mammalian-derived beast mode Transformers, his robot mode is essentially his beast mode standing on his (extended) hind legs. To panels on his shoulders fold down to reveal banks of non-firing rockets. Monzo forms his head, inserted into a slot on his upper torso. Some tabs of various lengths on Monzo push down three spring-loaded buttons inside the neck cavity, which in turn reveal his tech spec ratings on a simplified tech-spec meter on his chest under a grey panel. He is armed with a green rifle and his tail-sword.
