Along with his other [[Throttlebot]] teammates, Goldbug is a proven courier officer, skilled at being able to evade the enemy to keep important data out of unauthorized hands and speed it where it needs to go.

Usually, Goldbug is a rebuilt version of Bumblebee, but sometimes, he's portrayed as a separate character.

===Marvel Comics===
''Note: Stories from the U.K. Transformers series are in italics.''

When Bumblebee is assigned to watch over the launch of the mobile Power Station Alpha, also guarded by the daring special mission force [[G.I. Joe]], a Decepticon attack prompts him to transform in order to save a civilian boy. The Joes mistake him for a Decepticon and destroy him. Learning of their mistake and allying with the Autobots, the Joes set about trying to rebuild Bumblebee. With the aid of Autobot medic [[Ratchet (Transformers)|Ratchet]], Bumblebee is reconstructed as '''Goldbug'''.<ref name="Transformers' 1987">''G.I. Joe and the Transformers'' #1-4 (1987)</ref>

Charged with hunting down the petty criminal known as the Mechanic, who had stolen some Autobot equipment, Goldbug and [[Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]] opt instead to remove themselves from the tyrannical command of then-leader [[Grimlock]]. A run-in with the Decepticon [[Triple Changer]]s leads to both robots becoming infected with the metal-eating disease known as the Scraplets, but with the help of human Charlie Fong and the Autobot [[Throttlebot]]s, a cure is found in the form of water, and they are saved. Soon afterward, however, the group, low on fuel, is caught up to by the [[Protectobot]]s, under Grimlock's command, and Blaster is captured. The abandoned, immobile Throttlebots, including Goldbug, are then captured by the government-sponsored Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team (RAAT), who intend their destruction. Sympathetic to their plight, RAAT operate Walter Barnett removes their brain components and installs them in toy cars while their bodies are destroyed.

After managing to escape the [[Predacons]], Goldbug returns to the Autobots' volcano base, only to discover that the ''Ark'' had been restored and had blasted off. Blindsided by Decepticon leader [[Ratbat]], Goldbug's toy body is blasted, but soon found by the Autobot [[Headmaster (Transformers)|Headmasters]] - freshly arrived from the planet [[Nebulos]] - who uses their technology to construct his body for him again. The group soon learns that the brain patterns of Optimus Prime (who died sometime before) have been preserved on computer disk by a human named Ethan Zachary. Goldbug takes the disk to Nebulos, where Prime is restored to life as a [[Powermaster]].

Subsequently, Goldbug is part of a combined Autobot-Decepticon force who are deactivated while defending the Earth against the Underbase-powered Starscream. He falls along with other Autobots in defense of [[New York City]]. Goldbug is seen among the Autobots being repaired on the Ark when Optimus Prime sends Landmine and Cloudburst on their mission to obtain computer chips to repair fellow Autobots in issue #52, "Guess Who The Mechannibals Are Having For Dinner?"

Goldbug's body is seen among the deactivated Autobots Ratchet is trying to revive in ''Transformers'' #56, "Back from the Dead". While Ratchet works to restore the deactivated Autobots to life, his attempts consistently meet with failure. In the midst of his work, he is captured by believed-dead Decepticon leader [[Megatron (Transformers)|Megatron]], who demands that he rebuild Starscream as a [[Pretender (Transformers)|Pretender]]. Ratchet succeeds in this task, but while Megatron leaves him unattended to observe Starscream's attack on Earth, he is able to use other prototype Pretender shells to restore to life Grimlock, [[Jazz (Transformers)|Jazz]], and Goldbug, who he restores to being Bumblebee out of personal preference.

''As the U.K. series did not reprint ''[[G.I. Joe and the Transformers]]'' (in which the above account of Bumblebee's transformation into Goldbug occurred) until much later, a new story was penned that re-imagined the change in a very different way, as part of the U.K.'s larger running time travel storyline. When the deranged future Decepticon leader [[Galvatron]] travels back in time to 1987, the bounty hunter [[Death's Head]] pursues him. The mass-shifting inherent in the time-travel process causes the Autobot First Aid to be displaced to limbo when Death's Head arrives, which alerts Bumblebee to his presence. Wanting to keep the fact that he was in the past a secret, Death's Head destroys Bumblebee, but his remains are soon happened upon by the [[Junkion]], [[Wreck-Gar]], also from the future. Putting his advanced mechanical skills to work, Wreck-Gar soon rebuilds Bumblebee as Goldbug and the upgraded Autobot joins in the battle against Galvatron, at one point facing him one-on-one (and losing) before [[Ultra Magnus]] intervenes. Goldbug has a few additional adventures dealing with Galvatron's threat in other U.K.-exclusive stories.''

===Animated series===
When the body of the deceased Optimus Prime is recovered from space by a pair of Transformer-hating human scientists who intend to use it to lure the Autobots into a trap, Bumblebee is part of the rescue team led by [[Rodimus Prime]] to recover it. Entering the lab, some of the Transformers are exposed to rage-inducing alien spores that cause them to run wild, and although Bumblebee avoids infection, he is seriously damaged by the rampaging [[Aerialbots|Superion]]. A member of the alien race called the [[Quintesson]]s subsequently repair and restore Optimus Prime to life, so he can stop the "Hate Plague" and repair Bumblebee. The little Autobot has been so severely damaged, however, that he requires an entire reconstruction. In his new, shiny body, he comments that he has gone beyond just being Bumblebee, and is now a "gold bug", prompting Optimus Prime to redub him '''Goldbug'''. Goldbug travels with Optimus Prime to the planet of Chaar in order to secure a heat-resistant alloy that can protect him from the plague, only to be infected on the mission and later cured when Prime uses the power of the Matrix to purge the plague. Goldbug also makes a brief appearance in the fourth and final season of the series, defending Autobot City and Cybertron against a massive Decepticon attack.

====Transformers: The Headmasters====
In ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters]]'', Goldbug and the Throttlebots were on Cybertron when [[Vector Sigma]] began to destabilize as a consequence of Optimus Prime releasing the Matrix's energy to cure the Hate Plague the previous year. The Decepticons soon invaded the planet in an attempt to take control of the computer, and Goldbug and the Throttlebots joined [[Grimlock]] and [[Slag (Transformers)|Slag]] in holding the line against them. Unfortunately, they were knocked unconscious by the hypnotic power of the new Decepticon [[Headmaster (Transformers)|Headmaster]] [[Mindwipe (Transformers)|Mindwipe]], but they had managed to delay the Decepticons long enough for the Autobot Headmasters to arrive and take up the fight.

Later, when the Decepticon Headmasters unleashed the Madmachine upon Cybertron, Goldbug and the Throttlebots helped the Autobot Headmasters battle the villains. Hit by a blast of the evil device's electromagnetic beams, the Throttlebots were left in convlusions, opening them up to an attack by the Decepticons. [[Wideload (Transformers)|Wideload]] and [[Rollbar (Transformers)|Rollbar]] were again affected by Mindwipe's hypnotism and were instructed to fight each other, but Goldbug was able to get between them and snap them out of it. Goldbug proceeded to get his team organized, and he and Rollbar took on Mindwipe, clinging on to him and preventing him from flying away as they beat him up.

Goldbug and the Throttlebots went up against the Decepticon Headmasters yet again in a later battle on Earth, but pretended to lose so that they would be left free to investigate the Decepticons' newest weapon: a [[Metamorphose|metal-warping]] meteror currently on collision course with Athenia. Disregarding [[Rodimus|Rodimus Prime]]'s instructions to keep their distance, the Throttlebots believed they would be heroes if they could stop the meteor, but no sooner had they got within range of the space-rock than its gravity boosters began twisting and warping their ship and their bodies.

The Throttlebots disappeared after this encounter, suggesting they might have been destroyed, but they eventually resurfaced months later as the Decepticons were carrying out their final plan to destroy the Earth. Goldbug and the Throttlebots teamed up with [[Fastlane (Transformers)|Fastlane]] and [[Cloudraker (Transformers)|Cloudraker]] to investigate the emergence of a "Death Tower" in Santiago, Chile, only to find Predaking there waiting for them. Naturally, the small 'bots were no match for the powerful combiner, but they fought bravely, clinging onto his limbs before being hurled aside. Luckily, the Autobot [[Targetmaster]]s arrived in time to bail them out and take Predaking down.

===Dreamwave Productions===
The profile series, ''More Than Meets the Eye'', featured entries for Bumblebee as both a Pretender and as Goldbug, but gave no in-story reason for his upgrades to these forms and they never appeared in the fiction of the series.

===IDW Publishing===
Goldbug, separate from Bumblebee, appears in the story ''Spotlight: Metroplex''.

Goldbug and the Throttlebots were assigned to Orvus Base, orbiting Salvvatan VI, to safeguard top-secret Autobot research. Their purpose was to act as couriers in case the lab came under threat, taking the data and keeping it out of enemy hands. They had no idea what the research actually ''was,'' but that was not deemed essential to their job. And when an attack did come in the form of [[Sixshot]], the Throttlebots were the only ones who made it out of the station alive, the information in their sole possession. They crashed on the planet below and quickly rushed for cover, Sixshot hot on their trail. What they found on the planet was a strangely unoccupied, [[Cybertron]]ian-style city with [[Energon cube|energon]] reserves. But just as they were powering up, Sixshot caught up with them and demanded the information. Goldbug suggested that they might not have the information at all, then asked him if he would torture them in that case.

Sixshot said he would, so Goldbug ordered the Throttlebots to scatter. Sixshot quickly took down half the team, even as they tried to feint and counterattack. The remaining three bantered with Sixshot and then attacked him, the battle taking them into a strange chamber where an "intruder alert" alarm began to blare. There, Sixshot shot Goldbug point-blank in the chest, and his remaining two comrades fared little better. But just as Sixshot was about to execute [[Searchlight (Transformers)|Searchlight]], the city around them awakened. A giant fist smashed Sixshot, followed by a similarly-proportioned foot. Goldbug and his two companions gaped in awe at the transformed [[Metroplex]], who declared his own position compromised and announced that he was going to leave and hide again. He told them where to find a shuttle and supplies, but Goldbug was indignant, asking him what kind of Autobot would abandon the dying Throttlebots.

Metroplex replied that he wept for them, but his mission was more important, and with that, he left. [[Rollbar (Transformers)|Rollbar]] and Searchlight, the latter carrying Goldbug, began walking back to recover their teammates. This story takes place in the mainstream IDW continuity, which means he co-exists with Bumblebee. Goldbug turned into a Cybertronian vehicle resemble Bumblebee's seen in the animated series.

In the ''Transformers: Timelines'' series, Goldbug is an evil alternate reality version of Bumblebee.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/convention-exclusives-246/goldbug-1621/ TFW2005.com - Goldbug]</ref>

According to his official biography, Goldbug was once a young drifter known as Bumblebee. He survived on the streets of Polyhex with no real purpose. He became skilled at sneaking around, stealing, eavesdropping and blackmailing. He eagerly joined the Autobots in hopes of finding a place to belong and where his unsavory activities would be tolerated. When the war began, Bumblebee showed extreme bravery in battle and often sought ways to be noticed by command. In time, he worked his way up the ranks of the Autobots and when the Autobot Seeker [[Drench (Transformers)|Drench]] was destroyed, Bumblebee was offered an upgraded form and a new identity as Goldbug, to take his place.

Goldbug is paranoid that one of his fellow Autobots will betray him and try to take his place, as he did to his former superiors.

Tacker first appears in episode #1 of ''[[Transformers: Victory]]'', "The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber". He serves with Multiforce on Earth under the command of [[Star Saber]].

The Multiforce is first spotlighted in episode #4, "Unite!! Multiforce" The latest [[Breast Force]] warriors -- Jaguar, [[Drillhorn]] and [[Killbison]] -- along with [[Leozack]] and the [[Dinoforce]] make plans to attack an energy complex. Meanwhile, Jan gets a physics lesson from the Multiforce about fulcrums. Suddenly, at the plant, the Decepticons strike from the air and the sea with the Dinoforce while the Breast Force members hide in the sand in ambush. The Multiforce spot the destruction from afar and battle the Dinoforce on even terms until the Decepticons form [[Dinoking]]. Jan informs the other Autobots that there is danger so [[Star Saber]] and the [[Brainmasters]] headed out to investigate. Just as things look bad, the Multiforce merged to form Landcross and battle with Dinoking. Star Saber arrives to help Landcross take on Dinoking while the Brainmasters battle Killbison and Jaguar, driving away the Decepticons.

The Multiforce appears in episode #7, "Explosion!! The Energy Base" where the Decepticons build a new base in the jungles of [[South America]] to store energy. Machtackle and Dashtacker inform [[Star Saber]] of the new base. Wingwaver suggests he take the other Multiforce members there to investigate, but Star Saber insists the [[Blacker (Transformers)|Blacker]] lead them. Wingwaver chafes at how Blacker treats him like a kid. Transported to the jungle by [[Galaxy Shuttle]] Blacker leads the Multiforce to their target, but they are spotted by [[Yokuryu]], who calls in the rest of the [[Dinoforce]]. Blacker leads the Decepticons away and sends the Multiforce to contact Star Saber for backup. Wingwaver sends Machtackle and Dashtacker back to Galaxy Shuttle, but refuses to leave Blacker behind. Worried about the lack of contact, Star Saber flies to South America to join them. As Blacker is being overpowered by the Dinoforce, Wingwaver comes to his rescue. The Decepticons decide to escape with the energy they have, but Star Saber arrives to stop them. [[Deathsaurus]] orders the Decepticons to leave the energy behind and instead blow it up, hoping to destroy the Autobots with it, but Star Saber is able to defeat [[Leozack]] before the Decepticon can set off the explosion. The Autobots then return to their base in Galaxy Shuttle. <ref>http://www.thetfcog.com/victory.htm</ref>

[[image:multiforce.jpg|left|thumb|The Multiforce - Machtackle, Dashtacker and Wingwaver - aid humans during a flood]]
In episode #23, "Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle", the Breast Force drains energy from the [[Antarctic]], melting the polar ice. The Multiforce aid people trapped in a flood in [[South America]] when Star Saber orders them to meet him at a [[United Nations]] research base in the Antarctic. Wing and Mach arrive first and are confronted by Liokaiser. Waver tows in the rest of Multiforce by sea and despite forming Landcross they are outclassed by Liokaiser’s ability to turn invisible. Star Saber and Galaxy Shuttle arrive to help in the fight as Jan, Stakeout and Seawatch help evacuate the human scientists from the U.N. base. Liokaiser continues to best the Autobots in battle thanks to his ability to turn invisible, but as the Decepticon gestalt is about to finish off Victory Saber, Deathsaurus steps in and insists that he have a hand in the demise of his enemy. Star Saber takes the opportunity to take the battle to the air, matching Deathsaurus’ deadly wings with his skill. Galaxy Shuttle takes out the Decepticon energy collector with an energy blast and the Decepticons retreat in the Thunder Arrow. The humans scientists thank the Autobots for their help.

Tacker appears in episode #37, "Showdown! The Fortress vs. the Victory Unification."

In the ''[[Transformers: Zone]]'' animation Landcross is seen among other high-ranking Autobots (such as Road Caesar, Grand Maximus, Metalhawk, Lander, and the Autobot Godmasters) when Dai Atlas is sworn-in by Victory Saber as the new Supreme Commander of the Autobot forces.

===Reissue story===

'''Waver''' is a [[fictional character]] in the various [[Transformers]] series. He turns into a boat and is second in command of the Autobot Multiforce, under the command of Wing. He was a regular in the anime series ''Transformers: Victory'' where he was voiced by [[Yoshikazu Hirano]].

==Transformers: Generation 1==
'''Waver''' is part of the Autobot Multiforce. Waver is the deputy leader of the Multiforce and helps Wing with his knowledge and kindness. Waver is the second in command of the Multiforce and therefor Wing's most trusted friend. What Wing lacks in experience, Waver supplies. Waver is always there to give Wing the support the other members of the Multiforce don't provide. He trusts his leader but also knows when to take charge. He knows what needs to be done in a situation but lacks leadership skills. He is very quiet and reserved, only speaking out when he has something worth saying.

Waver loves children, and during his free time, he goes cruising on the lake, giving rides to them. His abundant knowledge proves most useful in his role as Wing's adviser. As he was the central figure in the stealth experiments, he feels responsible for the current accident.<ref>http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.geocities.com/oblivionsgallery13/techsmicromasterreissue.html&date=2009-10-25+23:54:41</ref>

Waver can transform into a supped-up speedboat. He rockets across the water with such speed that he nearly hovers over it. When he reaches the required speed, Waver can unleash a massive spray of water capable of blinding his opponents screening them from his next attack. As a member of the Multiforce, Waver can transform and merge with any of his fellow members. His partner, however, is Wing. Waver’s power represents water. All the members of Multiforce can combine with any other member of Multiforce to form a larger robot, but Waver most commonly combines with Wing to form Wingwaver.<ref>{{cite book| title=Transformers: The Ark II |page=160 |author= Jim Sorenson & Bill Forster |ISBN=978-1-60010-180-9 |publisher=IDW Publishing |date=July 22, 2008}}</ref> All the Multiforce members can combine into [[Landcross]].<ref>{{Cite book | title=The Unofficial Guide to Japanese and International Transformers | last=Alvarez | first=J.E. | year=2001 | publisher=Schiffer Publishing Ltd.| ISBN=0-7643-1282-0 | pages= 55–59}}</ref> With their new stealth modes the members of Multiforce can become invisible.

Waver is an asset to the Multiforce, and he knows it. He often wonders why he was chosen as second commander of the Multiforce, not first. Despite this he is very supportive of Wing and has little tolerance for insubordination.

'''Dash''' is part of the Autobot Multiforce. He is a speed freak with a hyper attitude. He has reached speeds fo mach 3, but claims he can go much faster. His power represents fire. <ref>http://www.seibertron.com/database/character.php?view=hasbro&char_id=431</ref>

All the members of Multiforce can combine with any other member of Multiforce to form a larger robot, but Dash most commonly combines with Tacker to form Dashtacker. All the Multiforce members can combine into [[Landcross]]. With their new stealth modes the members of Multiforce can become invisible.

Focusing on the highways, he mixes in with other cars and gathers intelligence on the Decepticons. He has really taken to his stealth mode, and has made headlines as the "Ghost Super Car" from his habit of disappearing as he races along.

===Animated series===
Dash first appears in episode #1 of ''[[Transformers: Victory]]'', "The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber". He serves with Multiforce on Earth under the command of [[Star Saber]].

The Multiforce is first spotlighted in episode #4, "Unite!! Multiforce" The latest [[Breast Force]] warriors -- Jaguar, [[Drillhorn]] and [[Killbison]] -- along with [[Leozack]] and the [[Dinoforce]] make plans to attack an energy complex. Meanwhile, Jan gets a physics lesson from the Multiforce about fulcrums. Suddenly, at the plant, the Decepticons strike from the air and the sea with the Dinoforce while the Breast Force members hide in the sand in ambush. The Multiforce spot the destruction from afar and battle the Dinoforce on even terms until the Decepticons form [[Dinoking]]. Jan informs the other Autobots that there is danger so [[Star Saber]] and the [[Brainmasters]] headed out to investigate. Just as things look bad, the Multiforce merged to form Landcross and battle with Dinoking. Star Saber arrives to help Landcross take on Dinoking while the Brainmasters battle Killbison and Jaguar, driving away the Decepticons.

The Multiforce appears in episode #7, "Explosion!! The Energy Base" where the Decepticons build a new base in the jungles of [[South America]] to store energy. Machtackle and Dashtacker inform [[Star Saber]] of the new base. Wingwaver suggests he take the other Multiforce members there to investigate, but Star Saber insists the [[Blacker (Transformers)|Blacker]] lead them. Wingwaver chafes at how Blacker treats him like a kid. Transported to the jungle by [[Galaxy Shuttle]] Blacker leads the Multiforce to their target, but they are spotted by [[Yokuryu]], who calls in the rest of the [[Dinoforce]]. Blacker leads the Decepticons away and sends the Multiforce to contact Star Saber for backup. Wingwaver sends Machtackle and Dashtacker back to Galaxy Shuttle, but refuses to leave Blacker behind. Worried about the lack of contact, Star Saber flies to South America to join them. As Blacker is being overpowered by the Dinoforce, Wingwaver comes to his rescue. The Decepticons decide to escape with the energy they have, but Star Saber arrives to stop them. [[Deathsaurus]] orders the Decepticons to leave the energy behind and instead blow it up, hoping to destroy the Autobots with it, but Star Saber is able to defeat [[Leozack]] before the Decepticon can set off the explosion. The Autobots then return to their base in Galaxy Shuttle. <ref>http://www.thetfcog.com/victory.htm</ref>

[[image:multiforce.jpg|left|thumb|The Multiforce - Machtackle, Dashtacker and Wingwaver - aid humans during a flood]]
In episode #23, "Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle", the Breast Force drains energy from the [[Antarctic]], melting the polar ice. The Multiforce aid people trapped in a flood in [[South America]] when Star Saber orders them to meet him at a [[United Nations]] research base in the Antarctic. Wing and Mach arrive first and are confronted by Liokaiser. Waver tows in the rest of Multiforce by sea and despite forming Landcross they are outclassed by Liokaiser’s ability to turn invisible. Star Saber and Galaxy Shuttle arrive to help in the fight as Jan, Stakeout and Seawatch help evacuate the human scientists from the U.N. base. Liokaiser continues to best the Autobots in battle thanks to his ability to turn invisible, but as the Decepticon gestalt is about to finish off Victory Saber, Deathsaurus steps in and insists that he have a hand in the demise of his enemy. Star Saber takes the opportunity to take the battle to the air, matching Deathsaurus’ deadly wings with his skill. Galaxy Shuttle takes out the Decepticon energy collector with an energy blast and the Decepticons retreat in the Thunder Arrow. The humans scientists thank the Autobots for their help.

Dash appears in episode #37, "Showdown! The Fortress vs. the Victory Unification."

In the ''[[Transformers: Zone]]'' animation Landcross is seen among other high-ranking Autobots (such as Road Caesar, Grand Maximus, Metalhawk, Lander, and the Autobot Godmasters) when Dai Atlas is sworn-in by Victory Saber as the new Supreme Commander of the Autobot forces.

===Reissue story===
When Landcross was reissued in Japan in 2004 it included a story of the Multiforce team arriving on Earth while testing their stealth modes, meeting the Autobot Micromaster combiner teams, and defeating the Decepticon Sixbuilder and Sixwing teams. <ref>http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/8defe7ad3d3cac8d?hl=en</ref>

Dashtacker, Machtackle and Wingwaver were among the Autobots who attended a speech by [[Prowl (Transformers)|Prowl]] in the New Iacon Central Hall in the story "Skyfire" from the [[Transformers: Generation One]] comic by [[Dreamwave Productions]]. The Autobots were less than satisfied with Prowl. <ref>http://www.seibertron.com/comics/view.php?comic_id=720</ref>

'''Mach''' is part of the Autobot Multiforce.

Mach is incredibly quick, able to reach a speed of Mach 3 almost instantly, and capable of higher speeds given time. His power represents the moon. <ref>http://www.seibertron.com/database/character.php?view=&char_id=429</ref> All the members of Multiforce can combine with any other member of Multiforce to form a larger robot, but Mach most commonly combines with [[Tackle (Transformers)|Tackle]] to form Machtackle. All the Multiforce members can combine into [[Landcross]]. With their new stealth modes the members of Multiforce can become invisible.

Though he can be quick to fight, this warrior is gentle towards his team mates. Among the team, he is especially good friends with Tackle. When [[Midnight Express (Transformers)|Midnight Express]] (Windy) pointed this out, Mach revealed a past episode in which the two of them had a major brawl, and he and the Micromasters rapidly became friends. <ref>http://www.geocities.com/oblivionsgallery13/techsmicromasterreissue.html</ref>

===Animated series===
Mach first appears in episode #1 of ''[[Transformers: Victory]]'', "The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber". He serves with Multiforce on Earth under the command of [[Star Saber]].

The Multiforce is first spotlighted in episode #4, "Unite!! Multiforce" The latest [[Breast Force]] warriors -- Jaguar, Drillhorn and Killbison -- along with [[Leozack]] and the [[Dinoforce]] make plans to attack an energy complex. Meanwhile, Jan gets a physics lesson from the Multiforce about fulcrums. Suddenly, at the plant, the Decepticons strike from the air and the sea with the Dinoforce while the Breast Force members hide in the sand in ambush. The Multiforce spot the destruction from afar and battle the Dinoforce on even terms until the Decepticons form [[Dinoking]]. Jan informs the other Autobots that there is danger so [[Star Saber]] and the [[Brainmasters]] headed out to investigate. Just as things look bad, the Multiforce merged to form Landcross and battle with Dinoking. Star Saber arrives to help Landcross take on Dinoking while the Brainmasters battle Killbison and Jaguar, driving away the Decepticons.

The Multiforce appears in episode #7, "Explosion!! The Energy Base" where the Decepticons build a new base in the jungles of [[South America]] to store energy. Machtackle and Dashtacker inform [[Star Saber]] of the new base. Wingwaver suggests he take the other Multiforce members there to investigate, but Star Saber insists the [[Blacker (Transformers)|Blacker]] lead them. Wingwaver chafes at how Blacker treats him like a kid. Transported to the jungle by [[Galaxy Shuttle]] Blacker leads the Multiforce to their target, but they are spotted by [[Yokuryu]], who calls in the rest of the [[Dinoforce]]. Blacker leads the Decepticons away and sends the Multiforce to contact Star Saber for backup. Wingwaver sends Machtackle and Dashtacker back to Galaxy Shuttle, but refuses to leave Blacker behind. Worried about the lack of contact, Star Saber flies to South America to join them. As Blacker is being overpowered by the Dinoforce, Wingwaver comes to his rescue. The Decepticons decide to escape with the energy they have, but Star Saber arrives to stop them. [[Deathsaurus]] orders the Decepticons to leave the energy behind and instead blow it up, hoping to destroy the Autobots with it, but Star Saber is able to defeat [[Leozack]] before the Decepticon can set off the explosion. The Autobots then return to their base in Galaxy Shuttle. <ref>http://www.thetfcog.com/victory.htm</ref>

Machtackle is spotlighted in episode #15, "Mach and Tackle". In the prairie region of southern [[Canada]], a giant sinkhole suddenly appears without warning, endangering the farmers of the area. Machtackle was sent to inspect the damage and to investigate its appearance. He finds the farmer who witnessed the appearance at the local bar, before separating into Mach and Tackle to find more information. They discover that the sinkhole is the result of the stoppage of the flow of an underground river. The culprits? The Decepticons, of course. They follow the river upstream and find a Decepticon factory. They call in to base to report this, but the [[Breast Force]] attack. They manage to defeat [[Hellbat]] and [[Jargua]] individually, then merge into Tacklemach, needing [[Star Saber]]'s help to defeat Killbison. Star Saber, [[Wing (Transformers)|Wing]] and Mach proceed to defeat [[Leozack]] and Drillhorn, blowing up the factory.

'''Tackle''' is a [[fictional character]] in the various [[Transformers]] series. He is an Autobot who turns into a truck and is part of the Multiforce team. He was a regular character in the Japanese anime series ''Transformers: Victory'' where he was voice by Nobuo Satouchi.

==Transformers: Generation 1==
'''Tackle''' is part of the Autobot Multiforce. Tackle is a bookworm if there ever was one. He enjoys all the great academic pursuits, science, history, sociology, mathematics and the rest. This vast amount of knowledge he stores in his memory circuits makes him an asset to not only the Multiforce, but the entire Autobot army.

Tackle’s vehicle mode is that of a [[Jeep]], equipping him for nearly any type of terrain. As a member of the Multiforce, Tackle can transform and merge with any of his fellow members. His partner, however, is [[Mach (Transformers)|Mach]].<ref>{{cite book| title=Transformers: The Ark II |page=160 |author= Jim Sorenson & Bill Forster |ISBN=978-1-60010-180-9 |publisher=IDW Publishing |date=July 22, 2008}}</ref> Tackle’s power represents the Earth.

Mach spends so much time studying and experimenting that he lacks social skills. He can’t give orders very well. Often he’ll get fed up with his partner’s acts of incompetence and argue with him. This usually leads to trouble on the battlefield.

In the year 2025, a skilled swordsman named Star Saber is chosen by [[Ginrai|God Ginrai]] as leader of the [[Autobot]]s.

Star Saber transforms into two robot forms, a smaller robot/plane named Saber combining with a sky sled known as the V-Star to form a larger ship or robot, similar to Ginrai combining with his trailers to form Super Ginrai/God Ginrai.<ref>{{cite book| title=Transformers: The Ark II |pages=152–153 |author= Jim Sorenson & Bill Forster |ISBN=978-1-60010-180-9 |publisher=IDW Publishing |date=July 22, 2008}}</ref> It is in this form he is known as Star Saber. His primary weapon is the Saber Blade, a powerful sword. He also has a standard rifle at his disposal. In this form, his helmet/face resembles [[Optimus Prime (Transformers)|Optimus Prime's]], with a Red helmet rather than blue. The smaller Brainmaster component that enters Saber's chest and becomes his face is named Yukio, which means Courage. He may combine with Victory Leo (The rebuilt [[Ginrai|God Ginrai]]) to form Victory Saber. This combination, though incredibly strong, is exceedingly unstable due to Victory Leo's flawed personality.

In the various Japanese Transformers series, all of the robots made into toys carry ''serial numbers'', usually preceded by a letter denoting allegiance, or a new series. Star Saber's serial number is C-324.

He is also the foster father of a young human boy named Jan, who he rescued from the remains of a Decepticon attack. Like any father, he wants what is best for his son, even taking the time to personally arrange Jan's transfer to a school so he could be with children his age.

===Animated series===
Star Saber makes his first appearance in a special preview shortly after the previous [[Masterforce]] series ended. The preview was created to wrap up loose ends from Masterforce (such as why [[Ginrai|God Ginrai]] resembled the original Convoy). The preview ends with a montage of the upcoming Victory series, featuring Star Saber and Deszaras dueling.

Star Saber makes his first true appearance in the premiere episode of ''[[Transformers: Victory]]'' entitled "Star Saber, Hero of the Universe". This first episode also introduces his foster son Jean (pronounced Jan), notable members of the Autobot forces such as the Brainmasters as well as the Decepticon Emperor of Destruction [[Deathsaurus|Deszaras]] and his Dinoforce. He is apparently nigh-legendary and is considered the greatest swordsman in the universe.<ref>{{Cite episode | title= The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber|episodelink= | series= Transformers: Victory| serieslink=Transformers: Victory |credits=Written by Hiroyuki Hoshiyama |network= |station= |airdate=March 14th 1989 |season= 1|number= 1}}</ref>

Just as things look bad, the Multiforce merged to form Landcross and battle with Dinoking. Star Saber arrives to help Landcross take on Dinoking while the Brainmasters battle Killbison and Jaguar, driving away the Decepticons.

Star Saber appears in episode #7, "Explosion!! The Energy Base", where the Decepticons build a new base in the jungles of [[South America]] to store energy. Machtackle and Dashtacker inform Star Saber of the new base. Wingwaver suggests he take the other Multiforce members there to investigate, but Star Saber insists the Blacker lead them. Wingwaver chafes at how Blacker treats him like a kid.

[[Deathsaurus]] orders the Decepticons to leave the energy behind and instead blow it up, hoping to destroy the Autobots with it, but Star Saber is able to defeat [[Leozack]] before the Decepticon can set off the explosion. The Autobots then return to their base in Galaxy Shuttle.<ref>http://www.thetfcog.com/victory.htm</ref>

As Supreme Commander, Star Saber has come to Earth in order to track down Deszaras, who has become the number one threat to space. Meanwhile, God Ginrai and his forces (which include the [[Godmasters]] from Masterforce), battle against Overlord and his troops. Deszaras is pleased by the fact that Star Saber himself has had to come to face him, as it is acknowledgement that he is now the most dangerous Decepticon alive. He is also eager to settle scores with Star Saber and it is clear that there is bad blood between the two. In their earlier battles, Star Saber is able to fight off Deszaras with relative ease, even though Deszaras himself rarely dirties his hands.

It is revealed later that when Star Saber was simply a commander (as opposed to Supreme Commander), he learnt that Deszaras had constructed a gigantic space fortress in his bid to be named Emperor of Destruction. Leading an Autobot army, he encountered Deszaras' forces in deep space in a violent battle. While the armies fought, Autobot strike teams sabotaged the fortress, draining it of energy and causing it to fall into a Dark Nebula. In the same episode where this is revealed, a furious Deszaras, roused to fighting fury by the memory of his defeat, battles and nearly kills Star Saber. Star Saber is only saved by the fact that Deszaras had expended much of his energy trying to reactivate his fortress, forcing the Decepticon to retreat.

Nevertheless, Star Saber and his Autobot forces are successful for much of 2025, but eventually the Decepticons start inflicting hard blows. One of the first is struck by the Breast Force, who reveal their combined form of Liokaiser and severely wound him before being driven off by God Ginrai and the threat of further Autobot reinforcements.

In episode #23, "Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle", the Breast Force drains energy from the [[Antarctic]], melting the polar ice. The Multiforce aid people trapped in a flood in [[South America]] when Star Saber orders them to meet him at a [[United Nations]] research base in the Antarctic. Wing and Mach arrive first and are confronted by Liokaiser. Waver tows in the rest of Multiforce by sea and despite forming Landcross they are outclassed by Liokaiser’s ability to turn invisible. Star Saber and Galaxy Shuttle arrive to help in the fight as Jan, Stakeout and Seawatch help evacuate the human scientists from the U.N. base. Liokaiser continues to best the Autobots in battle thanks to his ability to turn invisible, but as the Decepticon gestalt is about to finish off Victory Saber, Deathsaurus steps in and insists that he have a hand in the demise of his enemy. Star Saber takes the opportunity to take the battle to the air, matching Deathsaurus’ deadly wings with his skill. Galaxy Shuttle takes out the Decepticon energy collector with an energy blast and the Decepticons retreat in the Thunder Arrow. The humans scientists thank the Autobots for their help.

In episode #25 "A Deadly Battle", Blacker recovers at the Autobot Shuttle Base under the care of the Rescue Patrol. God Ginrai contacts Star Saber from space wanting to know about Blacker's injuries and offering to help if the Autobots on Earth need him. In the Thunder Arrow, the Decepticons plan their next mission, with member of Breast Force wanting revenge on Greatshot and Deathsaurus closely watching Leozack. The Breast Force are sent to attack an Autobot garrison in Asia. Star Saber receives an SOS from the garrison orders the Brainmasters to remain at the base as he, the Rescue Patrol and Galaxy Shuttle respond. Blacker suspects the Autobot left without him and finds it shameful. The Breast Force focus their attacks on Star Saber and get the best of him. Blacker orders Braver and Laster to join in the fight, leaving him to protect the Shuttle Base. Liokaiser leads Star Saber into a trap where Deathsaurus is waiting. Realizing Star Saber is in danger Jan and Stakeout send an SOS, hoping Greatshot will answer. As Deathsaurus goes to deliver a fatal blow to Star Saber with his cannon God Ginrai arrives to block the blast. All the combatants are injured in the fighting and with the arrival of Braver and Laster the Decepticons flee. God Ginrai's wounds are severe and he collapses.

Despite God Ginrai's rebirth into Victory Leo, it was a severe blow to Autobot morale and the unstable Victory Leo had to prove himself to the others (similar to the predicament the [[Dinobots]] once faced). The last blow results in the successful capture of enough energy to reactivate the Decepticon space fortress.

After Deszaras abandons the blindly loyal Dinoforce, the bitter Dinoforce commander informs the Autobots about the fortress' weak point. Star Saber leads an assault on the fortress and finally defeats his arch-enemy Deszaras in a final duel, after which the fortress destroyed by the Autobots after a hard-fought battle. Deszaras curses Star Saber before vanishing into the very dark nebula he'd fought so hard to free his fortress from.

While initially appearing to have been consumed by the fortress' destruction, Star Saber and Victory Leo emerge from its ashes, victorious as their name.

===Manga===
The accompanying manga would turn the Star Saber/Deszaras rivalry into something of a parental rivalry, as it revealed that Deszaras also had an adopted human son called Solon. Solon often clashed with Jan at school, leading to confrontations between their "fathers". When Victory Leo and Star Saber revealed their Victory Combination into Victory Saber, Deszaras constructed a giant [[mecha]] for Solon to pilot, named ''King Solon''. This mech had the ability to combine with Deszaras to form the mighty ''King Zaras''. Solon's story was eventually resolved when Deszaras abandoned him in battle, leading to Solon joining the Autobots.

The conclusion of the ''Victory'' manga is infamous among the fandom, and well-known even by those who have not read it, for its outrageously different approach. During the final battle, as Deszaras's fortress attacks the Earth, it is Deszaras himself, not Liokaiser, who battles Star Saber in space. Leozack, then, is able to take his treachery to the ultimate extreme by turning the fortress's power on Deszaras, and Deszaras cripples the craft with his cannon as Star Saber takes Leozack down. Then, the wounded Deszaras reveals the true reason he has quested to liberate the fortress from the Dark Nebula - it is home to the Decepticons' families and civilians. As the shocked Autobots discover this, readers meet Deszaras's wife, '''Esmeryl''', Leozack's sister and the Dinosaur Force's children. Deszaras and Star Saber then make peace, shaking hands and vowing to work together for the betterment of the Transformer race.

===Transformers: Zone===
In the sequel to Victory, ''[[Transformers: Zone]]'', Victory Saber is severely wounded during an attack on a planet by the Decepticon Generals (the original Decepticon combiners and Trypticon). He later turns over command of the Autobots to [[Dai Atlas]] for his actions.

===Transformers: Robot Masters===
The original Star Saber returned in the Japanese exclusive ''[[Transformers: Robot Masters]]'' series. His function is Supreme Commander and his motto is "''Power, skill, wisdom, and courage: that is a Brainmaster!''" Star Saber was displaced in time by the same anomaly that had claimed [[Megatron (Transformers)|Megatron]], and almost immediately found himself in an aerial duel with [[Starscream (Transformers)|Starscream]]. Star Saber was on the verge of defeat when [[Optimus Prime (Transformers)|Optimus Prime]] intervened and saved him.

==Transformers: Armada==
[[Image:Megatron-galvatron.jpg|right|thumb|Armada Megatron kills Generation One [[Galvatron]] with the Star Saber in Dreamwave comics.]]
In ''[[Transformers: Armada]]'', the Star Saber, formed from by the Air Defense [[Mini-Con]] Team, is one of three high-powered weapons in the ''Armada'' chapter of the ''Unicron Trilogy'', the others being the [[Requiem Blaster]] and [[Skyboom Shield]]. The Star Saber can cut through anything, save the Skyboom Shield.

===Animated series===
The story of the Star Saber begins in the episode #11, "Ruin". During their underwater trip to the ruins of [[Atlantis]], Rad, Carlos and Alexis (the human allies of the Autobots) discover a [[hologram]] of a young girl who tells them about the three Mini-Cons which can link up in the deadly super-weapon. The Decepticons have one of these Minis (named '''[[Sonar (Transformers)|Sonar]]''') while the Autobots have the remaining two (named '''[[Runway (Transformers)|Runway]]''' and '''[[Jetstorm]]''').

In the episode #13, "Swoop", the Decepticons warp in to the Autobot Base with the purpose to take Sonar's brethren. After Sonar awakens Runway and Jetstorm, [[Megatron (Unicron Trilogy)|Megatron]] becomes the first possessor of the Star Saber, but loses it at once thanks to the reckless attack of [[Hot Shot (Transformers)|Hot Shot]]. So the Star Saber finds itself in the young Autobot's hands.

Hot Shot, wielding the Star Saber, defeats almost any Decepticon (except [[Scavenger]]). So he becomes more and more overconfident though his friends warn him not to overrate his strength and not to rely upon the Star Saber too much. But soon he has to pay for his presumption.

In the episode #16, "Credulous", when warped in to the D-Base by accident, Hot Shot sacrifices the Star Saber to save [[Sideways]]'s life but the latter betrays him and [[Starscream (Unicron Trilogy)|Starscream]] obtains the Star Saber, much to Megatron's displeasure.

In the episode #17, "Conspiracy", the Lord of the Decepticons succeedes in defrauding Starscream of the Star Saber. Since then he keeps possessing the Star Saber until he hears about the new formidable Mini-Con weapon, the Requiem Blaster, and watches it in action.

In the episode #23, "Rebellion", Sideways falsely charges Starscream with plotting against the leader and convinces Megatron to use the Star Saber for chastising "the rebel".

In the episode #33, "Sacrifice", the Decepticon tactician [[Thrust (Transformers)|Thrust]] offers to Megatron his "Master Plan" to get the Requiem Blaster from the Autobots with the aid of a drawing-out maneuver. In accordance with this plan, Megatron hands over the Star Saber to Starscream again, however concealing his true intention to use him as the patsy. Starscream does his best to carry out his task, but he is soon overpowered by [[Jet Optimus]] and abandoned by the Decepticons on the battlefield. Surviving to return to the D-Base, he gets to know the truth. Being beside himself with rage, he breaks with the Decepticons and flies away to Earth, taking the Star Saber.

If being possessed by a Decepticon with sufficient willpower, the Star Saber can be transformed into the Dark Saber, and this converts the trio of Mini-Cons into the Air Assault Team.

[[Nemesis Prime]], a dark twisted version of Optimus Prime, also wields a similar weapon-albeit with a darker design.

The three weapons were also stolen by [[Thrust (Transformers)|Thrust]] as the power source for the [[Hydra-Cannon]].

===Dreamwave Productions===
In "Worlds Collide, Part 3", ''Armada'' [[Megatron]] uses it to kill ''Generation 1'' [[Galvatron]].

In the mirror universe of the ''Shattered Glass'' storyline, Star Saber is a low ranking and luckless Autobot jet who always gets passed over for promotion.

===Fun Publications===
Although not depicted directly, Star Saber is one of the many Autobots aboard the ''Ark'' in ''[[Do Over (Transformers)|Do Over]]''. The ''Ark'' launches from Cybertron for Earth under the command of Rodimus and is followed by the Decepticon ship ''Nemesis'', under the command of [[Starscream (other incarnations)#Transformers: Timelines|Starscream]]. While battling over Earth, it is shot down by human defense systems.<ref>{{cite book|author=[[S. Trent Troop]] and [[Greg Sepelak]]|title=Do Over |publisher=[[Fun Publications]]|others= Illustrator [[Yuki Oshima]]|year=2009}}</ref>

Star Saber first appears as a member of the Autobots on Earth under the command of [[Rodimus (other incarnations)#Transformers: Timelines|Rodimus Prime]] in ''Blitzwing Bop'' by [[Fun Publications]]. He works under the command of the Dinobot [[Swoop (Transformers)|Swoop]] in a scheme to use human hostages to get oil for the Autobots. The Autobots are defeated by the Decepticons Starscream, [[Blitzwing#Transformers: Timelines|Blitzwing]] and [[Slugslinger#Transformers: Timelines|Slugslinger]].

"''“I’ve been in the Autobots way longer. Just because they always passed me up on promotions doesn’t mean you have seniority.''" - Star Saber, after being assigned to work under a Dinobot.

===Toys===
Although no toy has been made for Star Saber, he is based on the Scout Class [[Skyblast#Transformers|Skyblast]] figure from the 2007 ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' movie toy line.

}}
The '''Star Saber''' was the weapon of Prima, the first Transformer, and had the [[Matrix of Leadership]] as its hilt. In the series, the Star Saber resembles a [[lightsaber]], and is also similar to [[Excalibur]].

===TV series===
The Star Saber appears in the episode "Legacy", embedded in rock and Megatron recognizing the legendary weapon, is determined to keep it out of Optimus Prime's hands and orders his soldiers remove the entire rock (unable to pull out the sword). According to Smokescreen, it was created by Solus Prime and is said to contain the power of the matrix. Once Optimus recovers it, he uses it to slice said rock in half and then attacks the Nemesis with an energy wave. Back at base, he starts to receive a message from his mentor, [[Alpha Trion]]. Being an ancient relic it is quite old and part of its hilt is broken. In "''Alpha; Omega''", Optimus receives a pre-recorded message from Alpha Trion who explains that he sent the Star Saber and other relics to Earth to aid Optimus and the Autobots in their war with the Decepticons, he also reveals that he has sent four relics which can revive their dead homeworld, the Omega Keys. All the Autobots are excited about the possibility of returning home, believing the hunt for the keys will be easy knowing that Optimus has the Star Saber. However Megatron is quick to turn the balance of power in his favor, when Dreadwing suggests using the Forge of Solus Prime which gives Megatron an idea. Meanwhile Arcee and Smokescreen find the first Omega Key, only to be confronted by Megatron sporting a new right-hand and powerful sword. Smokescreen is hit by an energy wave and seemingly killed. Megatron spares Arcee in order for her to relay a message to Optimus Prime. Optimus wielding the Star Saber confronts Megatron, and discovers Megatron had the right hand of a deceased Prime attached to himself in order to use the Forge of Solus Prime to create his own sword, the "'''Dark Star Saber''" (which Megatron calls the Slayer of Primes) which is forged of Dark Energon (the blood of Unicron). The two engage in an epic sword fight with the respective blades, however Megatron's Dark Star Saber manages to break the Star Saber rendering it powerless. However Optimus is saved by Smokescreen (who survived thanks to the Phase Shifter) and the two escape via ground-bridge. Optimus allows Smokescreen to keep the Shifter, however the Autobots lament over the loss of the Star Saber, but Rachet reminds them that Optimus doesn't really need it.

The Star Saber is repaired in "Regeneration", when Optimus obtains the Forge of Solus Prime from Dreadwing. He uses it to duel with Megatron on Cybertron until the Omega Lock is found. In the season 2 finale "Darkest Hour" Optimus thrusts the saber into the ground as a sign of surrender but when Megatron begins to convert Earth with the Omega Lock, Optimus makes a break for the saber and uses it in a succession of strikes against vehicons, Megatron (severing his right arm) and finally, the Omega Lock, destroying it. After returning to Earth and finding their base under attack, Optimus uses the sabre to launch a wave of energy at vehicons and insecticons before retreating. After all the autobots and humans have fled through the ground bridge Optimus destroys the controls with the saber before the destruction of the base.

At the beginning of season 3 the Star Saber is nowhere to be found and is not mentioned or shown amongst the Decepticon's prizes taken from the Autobot's base. In the episode "Prey" when Smokescreen is retrieving the Forge of Solus Prime from the Decepticon treasure room aboard their ship, the Star Saber is briefly seen in the background, suspended within a chamber but it is not retrieved.

In "Deadlock", Bumblebee uses the Star Saber to save Optimus Prime, stabbing Megatron through the chest and killing the Decepticon leader once and for all.

Buster was also the name of a human in the Japanese exclusive ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce]]'' show, which span out of G1. Buster, and his partner Hydra, were two humans recruited by the self-styled Decepticon God [[Devil Z]] to serve to power two lifeless Transtector bodies, becoming [[Powermasters|Godmasters]]. Unlike their counterpart [[Overlord (Transformers)|Overlord]], the two willingly were transformed into wholly robotic beings by Devil Z near the series' close.

=== Animated series ===
The American [[List of Transformers TV series|Transformers]] series ended in 1987, one year before Dreadwind and Darkwing were released. As the Transformers were originally manufactured in Japan by [[Takara]], Takara produced their own [[Spin-off (media)|spin-offs]] to the original series. ''Transformers: Super God Masterforce'' was the second of these and featured characters produced for 1988. As part of a different storyline, Dreadwing and Darkwing were recolored slightly (light blue pieces of both Transformers were molded in red) and reinvented as the mighty '''Godmaster''' brothers, '''Buster''' and '''Hydra'''. They were also referred to as ''the Darkwings'' (perhaps as a nod to their American counterparts).

The lifeless mechanoid bodies known as "Transtectors" which would come to be owned by Buster and Hydra were stolen from a region of space called the G Nebula by the evil energy entity and self-styled "Decepticon God," [[Devil Z]]. Some years after the Decepticons were banished from Earth by the Autobots in 2011, Devil Z recruited two human beings, Lord Giga and Lady Mega, to find human partners for the Transtectors. A pair of brothers from [[Germany]] were soon found and bonded to two jet Transtectors, given the power to summon the Masterforce and transform into engines that allowed the jets to assume robot mode; Hydra, a master disguise artist and actor who plied his trade in the deadliest way as an assassin for the American criminal underworld; and the younger Buster, as cool as his elder brother, but more suave and amiable, and with a love of birds. Able to wield the power of lightning and wind, respectively, and to heal from any damage almost instantaneously, the two brothers can merge their Transtectors into the giant jet, '''Darkwings'''.

A string of defeats from the Autobot Godmaster [[Ginrai]] throughout their time serving as Decepticons eventually prompted Buster and Hydra to seek new ways to increase their power. Whereas Giga and Mega embraced the human aspect of their nature as Godmasters, Buster and Hydra rejected it, feeling that it was this which made them weak, and requested that Devil Z transform them permanently into entirely robotic beings. The villain did so, and Buster and Hydra were fused with their Transtectors as true robots, but even with this power, they proved unable to best Ginrai, and when Devil Z was destroyed, they fled into space with the other Transtectors that he had brought to life.

'''Buster Witwicky''' was the first Witwicky depicted in fiction, and filled a similar role in the early comics that Spike filled in the animated series.

===Marvel Comics===
Events exclusive to the Marvel U.K. Transformers comics are in ''italics''.

While at a drive-in movie with his girlfriend Jessie and best friend "O", Buster suddenly found his life in danger when the parking lot became a battleground in the first major Earth-based clash between the Autobots and Decepticons. Coming across the wounded vehicle-mode Bumblebee, he brought the car back to his father's workshop, and attempted to fix it, until his father stepped in and completed the job.

Before long, however, Buster had a much more pivotal role to play in the war, when the powerful Decepticon, [[Shockwave (Transformers)|Shockwave]] defeated and deactivated all the Autobots, save medical officer [[Ratchet (Transformers)|Ratchet]], and planned to create new troops using the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] within Optimus Prime's mind. Sneaking into the Ark, Buster discovered Prime's disembodied head, and Prime transferred the Matrix into Buster's mind, keeping it from Shockwave. Buster soon found that the Matrix gave him the ability to manipulate metal and circuitry, and he used it to disassemble, rebuild and reprogram Shockwave's lifeless drone, [[Jetfire]], and employed him to rescue Optimus Prime, who took the Matrix back into his own body.

''A story called "The Gift" in issue #93 of the Marvel U.K. comics explored [[Jetfire]]'s problems fitting in with the other Autobots. Jetfire then visited Buster Witwicky on [[Christmas Eve]] and tell him of his troubles of not fitting in with the Cybertronian-made Autobots. Buster encouraged the young Autobot by telling him he's the first of a new generation of Earth-made Autobots and he should be proud of what he is.''

''In the U.K. comics, the boy appeared in some further stories starting with ''Robot Buster'', where - worried about the danger he kept being in - Wheeljack and Ratchet built a robot battle-suit for him. Optimus ordered it scrapped and Buster stole it to prove he could handle himself in battle, only to be nearly killed in battle against Frenzy and pursued relentlessly by Shockwave, who later sent the [[Constructicons]] out to murder the boy. The stress of these events combined with residual Matrix energy caused Buster to have visions of a strange new generation of Transformers. In order to decipher these visions and cure Buster of them, he and Optimus mind-linked (with the Decepticons spying) and the visions were revealed to be details for producing new "Special Teams" of combiners, which would lead to the development of the [[Aerialbots]] and [[Protectobots]].

Angered and afraid for his safety, Sparkplug forbade Buster from seeing the Autobots any further. Outside of helping Jetfire through some morale issues on Christmas Eve, the boy was not seen again for some time, until Sparkplug himself fell victim to a trap laid by Decepticon local commander, [[Ratbat]], which Buster foiled by breaking the hypnotic trance he and the other human victims had been placed under. After a fracas involving the Intelligence and Information Institute and the [[Predacons]], Buster and Goldbug (a recreated version of Bumblebee), whose mind was trapped in a toy car, headed for the Ark, only to find that it had blasted off. At the abandoned site, Buster was attacked by a vengeful Ratbat and whisked away to the Decepticons' island base where he was initially used as a hostage to deter the United States navy from attacking. Buster was employed as part of an overly complex plan to acquire important data - appointing Buster "king" of the island to publicly dissuade human investigation, the Decepticons operated under the cover of a faux holiday resort while they searched for a sunken pirate vessel, which contained two stasis-locked Autobot messengers sent to Earth thousands of years before, containing information on the coming of the almighty Cybertronian data bank, the [[Underbase]]. [[Starscream (Transformers)|Starscream]] proceeded to turn the tables on everyone by releasing Buster into the [[Arctic]] tundra, where he was forced to summon the Autobots or perish - an action which in turn resulted in the arriving Autobots being overwhelmed by the combined forces of Ratbat and [[Scorponok]]'s Decepticons, while Starscream used the distraction to steal the power of the Underbase for himself. Buster's last appearance was in U.S. #51, finally back home with his family.

===Books===
Buster is featured in the 1985 [[Find Your Fate]] Junior book called ''[[Battle Drive]]'' by [[Barbara Siegel]] and [[Scott Siegel]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=http://www.gamebooks.org}}</ref>

Buster appears in the 1986 story and coloring book ''[[List of Transformers books#The Lost Treasure of Cybertron|The Lost Treasure of Cybertron]]'' by Marvel Books. In this story, he is the father of Daniel.

===Dreamwave Productions===
Buster did not make any clearly defined appearances in Dreamwave Productions' re-imagined ''Generation 1'' universe, but he did exist, and was referred to as having taken the death of his father particularly badly, turning to alcohol and running up particularly large gambling debts. Straightening out his act, Buster was said to have joined the military; a high-ranking official with the surname of Witwicky was later seen addressing [[Marissa Faireborn]], and although it was not stated, it can be assumed this was intended to be Buster. However, Dreamwave's bankruptcy and subsequent closure left the story untold.

==Shattered Glass==
===Fun Publications===
In the "[[Fun Publications#2008|Shattered Glass]]" storyline, four Witwicky brothers, Spike, Buster, Butch and Bruce "Buzz" Witwicky, appeared evil mirror universe counterparts of the Witwickys. Spike was leader of the group, who allied themselves with Rodimus and the evil Autobots, guiding them on Earth and aiding them in taking temporary control of Burbleson Airforce base and the GODS satellite system.<ref name="Trent Troop and Greg Sepelak">{{cite book|date=May 1, 2009|publisher=[[Fun Publications]]|author=[[Trent Troop]] and [[Greg Sepelak]]|title=[[Eye in the Sky (Transformers)|Eye in the Sky]]}}</ref>

When most of the members of the Autobot Elite Guard confronted Bruticus they were nearly wiped out, with Bruticus killing most of the Guard. Dion was able to blind Bruticus, forcing it to separate into the Combaticons, but the Combaticons finished off most of the remaining Guard, including Metalhawk, who was killed by Onslaught. This left only Dion alive, buried in the rubble, and Thunderclash's team, which was off planet at the time. <ref>{{cite comic |colorist=Thomas Deer |date=Dec/Jan 2011 |editor=Pete Sinclair |inker= Josh Warner |issue=36 | letterer=Jesse Wittenrich |penciller=Dan Khanna |publisher=Fun Publications |story=The Coming Storm: Part 6 |title=The Transformers Collectors Club| volume=1 |writer=Jesse Wittenrich & Pete Sinclair}}</ref>

Lightfoot is nearly identical in appearance to the [[Hasbro]] Autobot [[Getaway (Transformers)|Getaway]] and his [[Powermaster]] partner [[Rev (Transformers)|Rev]], however he is a completely different character than the one portrayed by Hasbro.

His tech specs state he can travel at speeds of Mach 10 in racing car mode. He excels at high speed combat and is a first class strategist. He carries an electromagnetic rifle and his final attack is the "''Round Waterfall''", where he brings up water from the Earth and strikes it at his enemies like a waterfall.

===Animated series===
Although Getaway would not make any appearances in the western animated series, he made an appearance of sorts in the Japanese exclusive series ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce]]'' as the Japanese equivalent of a Powermaster - a Godmaster, called Lightfoot. Here though, the original robot was merely a [[Transtector]], given life and sentience only when powered by a human. The human Lightfoot is the 17 year old son of the head of British Motors, a Canadian-based auto company (although his bio states he's from the [[United States]]). His father created a prototype car from metal he discovered in the Canadian [[Rocky Mountains]]. When Lightfoot became old enough to drive, his father gifted him the car. Lightfoot started to get dreams of a robot. He contacted Godmaster [[Ginrai]] when he heard about his television appearance, and the Autobots started to suspect his car was a Transector. He was given a set of Master Bracers by Ginrai and became a Godmaster when they were attacked by the Decepticon [[Pretenders (Transformers)|Pretenders]]. He is able to control the flow of water.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tenchionline.com/ragey/Cartoons/TransformersMaster-LightfootDramatic/16LightfootAdramaticencounter.html|title=RANDOM ACTION HOUR .:. Transformers Super God Masterforce: Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter}}</ref>

At the end of the series, Lightfoot separated from his Transtector after [[Devil Z]]'s defeat - only to discover that their linked time had given the Transtector sentience of its own. Taking its human partner's name, it journeyed into space alongside the other Godmasters to further battle the Decepticons.

In the ''[[Transformers: Zone]]'' animation the Autobot Godmasters were seen among other high-ranking Autobots (such as [[Road Caesar]], [[Grand Maximus]], Metalhawk, [[Landcross]], and Lander) when [[Dai Atlas]] is sworn-in by [[Victory Saber]] as the new Supreme Commander of the Autobot forces.

===Toys===
*'''''Generation 1'' Godmaster Lightfoot''' (1988)
:Identical to Powermaster Getaway, Lightfoot was a 15 cm long Mazda RX-7. With a real Mazda of that model measuring 429 cm long, this toy would have a scale of about 1:29. Having a 15 cm tall robot mode as well, that would mean Lightfoot would stand about 429 cm tall as a real robot, or about 14 feet tall.

Slugslinger is a Decepticon Targetmaster jet. His partner is a Nebulan named Caliburst. The smaller Targetmaster partners were easily lost making them highly collectable and demand high prices on the secondary market.<ref>{{cite book|title=Transformers: Identification and Price Guide |page=196 |author=Mark Bellomo |year=2007|publisher=Krause Publications |ISBN=978-0896894457 }}</ref>

===Reception===
Slugslinger has been specifically criticized for having an explicitly violent characterization, function and motto.<ref>{{cite book|isbn=978-1590560358 |title=Boys Will Be Boys|publisher=Lantern Books|year=2002|last=Miedzian|first=Myriam|page=276}}</ref>

===Marvel Comics===
Slugslinger and Caliburst first appeared in ''Transformers: Headmasters'' #4 when the Decepticons under [[Scorponok]]'s leadership. With the Autobot Headmasters captured by their Decepticon counterparts, the Decepticons ran rampant over the planet Nebulos, a group of the remaining Autobots on the planet joined with a group of Nebulons branded as criminals by Nebulon's political leader, Lord Zarak - partner of the Decepticon, Scorponok - in order to protect the Nursery, Nebulos's primary agricultural research facility, against Decepticon attack. Through bio-mechanical engineering, the Nebulons were given the ability to transform into the guns of the Autobots, and, as Targetmasters, they fended the Decepticons off. Within several days, the Decepticons had duplicated the process with five of their own troops.

One of his most prominent actions during this period was to ambush the Autobot Headmasters in the [[Fortess of Despair]] alongside the other Decepticon Targetmasters. The Decepticons captured Highbrow, planning to use him to perfect their own Headmaster process. The plan failed when Highbrow forced Scorponok to flee. (Transformers UK #130-131)

After this, Slugslinger and the other Decepticons followed Maximus' group to Earth, where they soon wound up in battle with [[Ratbat]]'s earthen faction, and later against the Earthen Autobots, where he was one of the aerial Decepticons that battled [[Swoop (Transformers)|Swoop]] and the [[Aerialbots]]. He appeared less after this, aminly as one of Scorponok's troops, without any prominent actions. Slugslinger last appeared in Transformers #61.

Slugslinger had a ''Transformers: Universe'' profile published in the back of issue #60 if the U.S. Marvel Transformers series.

===Animated series===

Slugslinger and Caliburst were introduced in "The Rebirth", the three-part fourth-season finale to the original Transformers animated series. When the Decepticons attempted to seize the power of the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]] in 2007, a group of Autobots were blasted across the galaxy to the planet [[Nebulos]] by the ancient foundry's energies, where they took up with a group of rebel Nebulons. To fight the Hive, the evil rulers of Nebulos, some of the Autobots and Nebulons bonded their bodies a minds together, becoming [[Headmasters]], serving up a definitive defeat to the Decepticons pursuing them. This group of Decepticons was then approached by the Hive, who sought to replicate the Headmaster process with them, but Cyclonus was able to bargain them down to taking only half the Decepticons' heads, offering up the weapons of the others as alternatives. Using Nebulan technology, the guns were engineered into a transforming exo-suits which were donned by five members of the Hive, creating the [[Targetmaster]]s, giving their Transformer wielders ten times the accuracy and firepower.

The Decepticon Targetmasters overcame the Autobots and reclaimed the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber, but in the struggle, the Autobot [[Brainstorm (Transformers)|Brainstorm]] was able to scan [[Cyclonus]]'s partner, Nightstick, and that data was used to duplicate the Targetmaster process with the remaining Autobots and Nebulan rebels, creating the Autobot Targetmasters. Their power, however, was nothing in the face of the Decepticons' newest weapon, the super robot, Scorponok, who transported the Decepticon forces back to [[Cybertron]], where their plans were foiled by [[Witwicky family|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Fortress Maximus]].

Although The Rebirth marked the end of the Transformers cartoon in the U.S., in Japan, a different direction was taken - ignoring the events of "The Rebirth", a brand new, exclusive 35-episode series, ''Transformers: Headmasters'', was produced to take its place, which introduced the Targetmasters towards its conclusion. Notably, in Japan, the 1986 characters were not re-released as Targetmasters - only the six new characters featured in Headmasters.<ref>Transformers: The Ark II, Volume 2, By Jim Sorenson, Nick Roche, William Forster, page 58</ref>

In the world of ''Transformers: Headmasters'', there are no Nebulons - the Headmasters themselves are simply small Transformers, who, having settled on the planet Master, learned to transform into heads and connect to lifeless larger bodies named Transtectors. It was to Master that the Decepticon forces returned after the Autobots forced them to flee Earth, and consequently, a ship was dispatched by the planet's inhabitants to alert the Earth-bound Autobots to the Decepticon invasion. At the same time, the youthful Autobot, Wheelie, had summoned three of his old superior officers - Pointblank (Blanker in Japan), Sureshot and Crosshairs - to Earth to aid in the clean-up operation currently going on, when Autobot Headmaster Chromedome accidentally activated one of the plasma bombs the Decepticons had left behind. Heading out into space so that the bomb might harmlessly explode out in the void, the Autobots then crossed paths with the approaching Master ship, which was being pursued by the Decepticon Sixshot and three new troops - Slugslinger, Misfire and Triggerhappy. As Pointblank and his men tangled with the Decepticons, the Master refugees offered their help by transporting away the plasma bombs, only to have the bombs detonate in the middle of the battlefield. Recovering from the explosion, [[Pointblank]], [[Crosshairs (Transformers)|Crosshairs]] and [[Sureshot (Transformers)|Sureshot]] discovered that the six Master refugees had been fused to their arms. Although Fortress was able to surgically remove them, a bond now existed between the larger Transformers and the Master refugees, who could now freely attach and detach to their wrists as guns. Unfortunately for these new Targetmasters, the same had happened to Slugslinger and his fellows. The Targetmasters joined up with Fortress's crew on the mission to Master, but quickly clashed with the Headmasters - Pointblank and his men were hard, experienced warriors who thought little of the Headmasters, and Pointblank spent a good deal of time attempting to soothe [[Chromedome (Transformers)|Chromedome]]'s fiery temper to improve his battle ability.

Slugslinger's only appearance in Dreamwave comics was in the third ''War Within'' series on ancient Cybertron where he was one of [[Starscream (Transformers)|Starscream]]'s [[Predacons]].

Caliburst never appeared in the storyline of Dreamwave comics before the company closed, but he did get a one page biography with Slugslinger in their ''More Than Meets The Eye'' series.

In the Transformers: Energon series, Slugslinger is also a Decepticon who transforms into a dual-cockpit jet, although his robot mode bears little resemblance to the that of the original.

Slugslinger is a cruel and vile Decepticon who specializes in high speed combat in the skies. He takes pleasure at starting trouble with his teammates. Because of his speed and firepower some consider him second only to Megatron in air-to-air combat.

===Dreamwave Productions===
This character did not appear in the cartoon series, but did appear in Dreamwave Comics Transformers: Energon series. He first appeared in Transformers: Energon #26, where he attacked the [[Omnicon]]s alongside [[Mirage (Transformers)|Mirage]] and [[Sharkticon]] in order to kidnap [[Kicker (Transformers)|Kicker]]. However, they were eventually beaten by the powered up Omnicons.

He also appeared in the Dreawmave Summer Special. In the future, [[Megatron (Unicron Trilogy)|Megatron]] had retaken command of the Decepticons, and sent [[Snow Cat]], Slugslinger and Sharkticon each on missions to steal copies of the plans for [[Omega Supreme]] from the Autobot's Ocean City. Each of the three attempted to break in - but each were defeated. Slugslinger attempted to get in via a waste disposal duct, but was flushed out by a tide of refuse.The three each made up stories as to their failure and Megatron appointed Slugslinger as his lieutenant as his lie was the most impressive.

He also appeared in Transformers: Energon Promotional Comic #3 where he was taken out by [[Omega Supreme]].

This Slugslinger is an alternate version good of the Generation 1 character from the BotCon exclusive "Shattered Glass" comic, in which the Decepticons are on the side of good and the Autobots on the side of evil. Presumably like all Decepticons of his world, he is heroic and opposed to the evil Autobots. This version of Slugslinger seems to be colored as a homage to the ''Generation 1'' Crosshairs.

Sureshot was part of the Autobot [[Targetmaster]] team. He transforms into a racing car and his Nebulan Targetmaster partner is called Spoilsport. Sureshot did make appearances in both the original cartoon and comic-book but did not feature in any main storylines - he was usually relegated to the background.

Sureshot's name is indicative of his abilities - he is a crack shot, able to practically hit targets blindfolded. This skill has led to a self-confidence bordering on arrogance, something that has led to a difficult relationship with his Nebulan partner Spoilsport, who doesn't need Sureshot to aim or fire.

In Japan Spoilsport was called Spoil.<ref>{{cite book| title=Transformers: The Ark II |pages=24–25 |author= Jim Sorenson & Bill Forster |ISBN=978-1-60010-180-9 |publisher=IDW Publishing |date=July 22, 2008}}</ref>

===Marvel Comics===
Little is known of Sureshot's background before the war: however, the text story "State Games" in the 1986 Transformers U.K. annual indicated he had taken part in a sharpshooting contest with both [[Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Transformers)|Megatron]] at one point.

Much later after both leaders had disappeared on Earth, Sureshot was amongst those captured by the Decepticons to await death in the smelting pools. Saved by Fortress Maximus, Sureshot then followed the Autobot leader to Nebulos in an effort to get away from war. However, they were followed to Nebulos by [[Scorponok]]'s Decepticons, and the war began anew.

Desperate to prove their peaceful intentions to the Nebulans, Sureshot was amongst those who surrendered their weapons. When the Decepticons ran roughshod over the planet, the Nebulans pioneered a bioengineering process where Nebulans in robotic suits could transform into the guns of the Transformers. Sureshot became a Targetmaster as a result, battling the Decepticons on several occasions. After the war proved devastating to Nebulos, Maximus' crew left for Earth, where they encountered the Earthbound Autobots under [[Grimlock]].

He appeared amongst the Autobots watching the duel between Grimlock and [[Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]], before it was interrupted by [[Ratbat]]'s Decepticons. Sureshot appeared less after this, rarely appearing after issue 50.

===Animated series===
Sureshot and Spoilsport were introduced in "The Rebirth", the three-part fourth-season finale to the original ''Transformers'' animated series. When the Decepticons attempted to seize the power of the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]] in 2007, a group of Autobots were blasted across the galaxy to the planet [[Nebulos]] by the ancient foundry's energies, where they took up with a group of rebel Nebulons. To fight the [[Hive (Transformers)|Hive]], the evil rulers of Nebulos, some of the Autobots and Nebulons bonded their bodies a minds together, becoming [[Headmaster (Transformers)|Headmasters]], serving up a definitive defeat to the Decepticons pursuing them. This group of Decepticons was then approached by the Hive, who sought to replicate the Headmaster process with them, but [[Cyclonus]] was able to bargain them to down to taking only half the Decepticons' heads, offering up the weapons of the others as alternatives. Using Nebulan technology, the guns were engineered into a transforming exo-suits which were donned by five members of the Hive, creating the Targetmasters, giving their Transformer wielders ten times the accuracy and firepower. The Decepticon Targetmasters overcame the Autobots and reclaimed the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber, but in the struggle, the Autobot Brainstorm was able to scan Cyclonus's partner, Nightstick, and that data was used to duplicate the Targetmaster process with the remaining Autobots and Nebulan rebels, creating the Autobot Targetmasters. Their power, however, was nothing in the face of the Decepticons' newest weapon, the super robot, Scorponok, who transported the Decepticon forces back to Cybertron, where their plans were foiled by [[Witwicky family|Spike Witwicky]] and Fortress Maximus.

Sureshot was featured in the Japanese series ''[[Transformers: Headmasters]]''. The concept of the Targetmasters in this series was somewhat similar. Instead of Nebulans the Targetmaster partners were small Transformers from the planet Master. After being bonded to their partners the Targetmasters developed a telepathic link with their companions. The weapons replaced the robot's hands rather than held by them.

In the world of ''Transformers: Headmasters'', there are no Nebulons - the Headmasters themselves are simply small Transformers, who, having settled on the planet Master, learned to transform into heads and connect to lifeless larger bodies named Transtectors. It was to Master that the Decepticon forces returned after the Autobots forced them to flee Earth, and consequently, a ship was dispatched by the planet's inhabitants to alert the Earth-bound Autobots to the Decepticon invasion.

Recovering from the explosion, [[Pointblank (Transformers)|Pointblank]], [[Crosshairs (Transformers)|Crosshairs]] and Sureshot discovered that the six Master refugees had been fused to their arms. Although Fortress was able to surgically remove them, a bond now existed between the larger Transformers and the Master refugees, who could now freely attach and detach to their wrists as guns.

The name Sureshot was given to the European release of Combat Hero Optimus Prime to differentiate from the other Generation 2 Optimus Prime toys. This has never appeared in any fiction under the name Sureshot and is largely forgotten about, given the popularity of Optimus Prime.

Sureshot is described as a great leader of the Autobots and protector in his short bio.

'''Nightbird''' is a [[fictional character]], notable as the first female robot character seen in the [[Transformers series|Transformers cartoon series]]. She first appeared in the second season episode "Enter the Nightbird". Although only appearing in one episode of the Transformers series and a few issues of the comics, her cult following has lead to a third-party made toy being produced as a convention exclusive. <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/tfcon-2010-night-bird-first-images-revealed-170195/ TFW2005.com - TFcon 2010 Night-bird First Images Revealed]</ref>

==Transformers: Generation 1==
Nightbird is a human construct with a single form and thus not actually a Transformer herself. Created by Dr. Fujiyama ("''the famous scientist,''" according to [[Cliffjumper]]), she was a non-transforming [[ninja]] robot. Fujiyama originally intended her to be used for research purposes and limited her abilities accordingly. However, when he presented her at a university talk, the Decepticons grabbed her, despite an [[Autobot]] presence. After the Decepticons had left, carrying Nightbird away, [[Optimus Prime (Transformers)|Optimus Prime]] promised Dr. Fujiyama that she would be retrieved unharmed. Meanwhile, [[Megatron (Transformers)|Megatron]] had [[Bombshell (Transformers)|Bombshell]] make several alterations to Nightbird, removing the limitations Fujiyama had set and boosting her power supply. Many people argue that Nightbird was merely a programmed automaton because when Bombshell slips a chip into her head, he says, "''I love warping minds for you, Megatron.''" [[Starscream (Transformers)|Starscream]] scoffs at Nightbird, who promptly beats him in return. Megatron reveals his plan: Nightbird is going to retrieve the World Energy Source chip from [[Teletraan I]]. Nightbird sneaks into the Ark, revealing that she is equipped with climbing skills and a grappling hook. She does not move silently but quietly enough that none of the Transformers or even Spike notice her moving around. She happens across the Autobots' new security system (floor sensor pads installed at the beginning of the episode), and defeats it by magnetizing her feet and walking up a wall and along the ceiling. Sneaking through the base, she finds the chip and rips it out of Teletraan I, which sets off an alarm and knocks out the lights. She encounters [[Mirage (Transformers)|Mirage]] in the dark and beats him easily, displaying martial arts skills. When a group of Autobots chase her into a corner, she tries to chase them off by converting her hands into whirling sawblades and throwing them at the Autobots. When that doesn't work she performs a vanishing trick by whirling around, she suddenly creates a burst of light that blinds them long enough for her to escape. The Autobots track Nightbird through the countryside as she heads back towards the Decepticon land base from where she was altered. Prime hits her with a stun beam, but when [[Silverstreak|Bluestreak]] approaches, she jumps up and takes him down. Optimus then approaches her, cautioning the other Autobots not to fire at her, since they've promised not to harm her. Nightbird attacks him, knocking him down, when someone shoots her laser sword out of her hand. She leaves the sword and grabs Prime's rifle and takes off, literally jumping off a cliff and disappearing when pursued by the Autobots. Nightbird continues to evade the Autobots, coming up with counters to their every attack, until she's finally trapped in an energy net. In the meantime, Starscream has injudiciously punched Megatron in response to his continued taunting suggestions of replacing Starscream with Nightbird, and been locked up. The Decepticons attack the Autobots, freeing Nightbird in the process, and for a moment it looks as though the battle will go to them, no small thanks to Nightbird's defeat of five or so Bots. However, Starscream has freed himself and proceeds to stun Nightbird with his null-ray. She collapses into Prime's hands lifelessly, and Megatron calls off the Decepticons to chase after Starscream. In the final scenes, Nightbird is locked up by Dr. Fujiyama, while Prime says he's glad that she's deprogrammed, and as Dr. Fujiyama claimed, safely locked up forever. In the final shot we see her angrily narrowing eyes glowing a fierce yellow, making it unclear just how deprogrammed she is. <REF>Transformers episode "Enter The Nightbird"</REF>

===3H Enterprises===
There were two Nightbird cameos in the Transformers comic books. The first was in the convention comic book series where an army of robot ninja who looked exactly like Nightbird were responsible for the death of an adult Daniel Witwicky and the Autobot [[Wheelie (Transformers)|Wheelie]].

===Dreamwave Productions===
The second was in the Dreamwave ongoing G1 comic #7 ''Infestation'' where a movie theatre was playing the movie "Enter the Nightbird"; Nightbird herself was seen surrounded by mechanoid ninja and destroying them.

===Other media===
Nightbird appears among the characters in ''Re-Unificaton'', the 2010 TFCon voice actor play prelude comic. <ref>[http://www.tfcon.ca/gallery/TFcon-2010-Prelude-Comic TFcon - 2010 Prelude Comic]</ref>

===Cultural impact===
In 2009, Nightbird was named the 10th Lamest Fictional Ninja by the blog site Topless Robot. <ref>[http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/07/the_10_lamest_fictional_ninja.php Topless Robot - The 10 Lamest Fictional Ninja]</ref>

Greatshot is described as a quiet brooding loner, and there is rumor among autobots that he used to be a Decepticon, possibly Sixshot, who shares the same voice. He was motivated to join the Autobot by the brutality of his former partner Blue Bacchus. <ref>Transformers: The Ark II, Volume 2 By Jim Sorenson, Nick Roche, William Forster</ref>

Besides being a six changer, Greatshot has displayed ninja disappearing skills, allowing him to seemingly disappear in a puff of smoke and teleport behind his opponents. Although the toy comes with two rifles as his only accessories, he is also depicted on the animated series as wielding two swords and being skilled enough to cut the weapons out of his opponents hands.

==Animated series==
Greatshot speaks in a fashion like a stereotypical samurai in the Transformers: Victory animated series, shown exclusively in Japan.

Greatshot first appeared in episode #17 of [[Transformers: Victory]], called "The Mystery Warriors of Planet Micro". In this episode Greatshot helped [[Star Saber]] and the Micromaster Rescue Patrol against the Decepticons [[Breast Force]] [[Hellbat]] and the Crossformers Blue Bachus and [[Black Shadow]] when the villains were attacking the planet Micro for its energy. He defeated the two Decepticon Crossformers and destroyed their shells as they escaped.

Greatshot appeared in episode #24 "Crisis! Ambush in the Desert." Greatshot patrolled the galaxy for Decepticons and came to Earth where he spotted the Thunder Arrow. The Dinoforce attacked an oil field in [[Saudi Arabia]] for its energy. Star Saber sent the Brainmasters and Micromasters [[Rescue Patrol]] in [[Galaxy Shuttle]]. When the Autobots arrived they were ambushed by the Breast Force. [[Braver (Transformers)|Braver]] and [[Laster]] found it difficult to maneuver in the desert sand. The Rescue Patrol freed the human prisoners from [[Kakuryu]]. The Brainmasters formed [[Road Caesar]], but it didn't help. Greatshot came to the rescue as Star Saber called for help. [[Deathsaurus]] arrived to take his anger out on Greatshot. Blacker injured himself saving Greatshot from an attack. Star Saber and Greatshot took on Deathsaurus and the Breast Force. [[Fixit (Transformers)|Pipo]] did field repairs on Blacker. The Breast Force retreated when they became too injured to combine. Star Saber damaged the Thunder Arrow and Deathsaurus retreated. Braver and Laster blew up Dinoforce's energon cube stockpile and the last of the Decepticons retreated.

Greatshot last appeared in episode 31 of Transformers: Victory, called "The Resurrection of the Space Fortress". <ref>http://www.tv.com/transformers-victory/show/14093/episode.html</ref>

'''Getaway''' is a fictional character in the various [[Transformers universes]]. He is an Autobot Powermaster warrior. He shouldn't be confused with the character [[Lightfoot (Transformers)|Lightfoot]], who is based on the same toy design.

Getaway is nearly identical in appearance to the [[Takara]] Autobot Lightfoot, although they are portrayed as two very different characters.

Lightfoot's tech spec states that he can travel at speeds of Mach 10 in racing car mode. (In comparison, Getaway's top speed is slightly more down to Earth, if 600+ mph is considered down-to-earth.) He excels at high speed combat and is a first class strategist. He carries an electromagnetic rifle and his final attack is the "''Round Waterfall''", where he brings up water from the Earth and strikes it at his enemies like a waterfall.

===Animated series===
Getaway was created after the animated Transformers series ended in the U.S., so his only animated appearance was as in toy commercials for the Powermasters. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voX_KNNxNCI</ref>

For animated appearances of his Japanese counterpart in the Masterforce series see [[Lightfoot (Transformers)|Lightfoot]].

===Marvel Comics===
Although not seen or mentioned directly, Getaway was among the Autobots who joined [[Fortress Maximus]] in leaving [[Cybertron]] for the planet [[Nebulos]] (Transformers: Headmasters #1). Followed to Nebulos by the [[Decepticon]]s under [[Scorponok]], Fortress Maximus's band left Nebulos for the planet [[Earth (Transformers)|Earth]] (Transformers: Headmasters #4).

Getaway eventually returned to Nebulos with [[Goldbug (Transformers)|Goldbug]], [[Joyride (Transformers)|Joyride]] and [[Slapdash]], hoping that Nebulan science could build a new body to house the mind of [[Optimus Prime]]. When the Autobots refused to leave the planet even after being warned about the poisoned fuel, [[Hi-Q]] agreed to construct Prime's new body, while the Autobots drained their energy fending off an attack by the Decepticon [[Powermasters]]. Prime's mind was placed within his new body, but he immediately began to die due to the Nebulan fuel that powered it. Realizing the nobility and humanity of the Autobots, Hi-Q agreed to save Prime's life by merging with him as a Powermaster, while his assistants, Rev, Hotwire and Lube bonded to Getaway, Joyride and Slapdash to save them. [[Dreadwing|Dreadwind and Darkwing]] were defeated by the new Powermasters and exiled from Nebulos, while the Autobots left to rejoin their fellows on Earth.

''Issue #248 of the Marvel U.K. Transformers comic featured a story called "Fallen Star", where [[Starscream]] began to doubt himself, despite being of the most powerful Transformers. [[Soundwave (Transformers)|Soundwave]], [[Mindwipe (Transformers)|Mindwipe]] and [[Weirdwolf]] feared Starscream would attack, but Starscream thought they were laughing at him behind his back. Leaving Starscream came across the Autobots [[Chainclaw]], [[Cloudburst (Transformers)|Cloudburst]] and Getaway, who were assigned by Optimus Prime to spy on him. Starscream soundly defeated all three Autobots and regained his self confidence.''

''[[Cloudburst (Transformers)|Cloudburst]], [[Crosshairs (Transformers)|Crosshairs]], Getaway, [[Highbrow (Transformers)|Highbrow]] and [[Stakeout (Transformers)|Stakeout]] were among the Autobots who backed [[Optimus Prime]] when [[Grimlock]] challenged him for leadership of the Autobots in the issue #263 of the Marvel U.K. comics, "Break-Away!"''

In the final issue of the U.S. comic, he appeared briefly being blown apart by Dreadwing on the planet Klo, although it is likely he was resurrected by [[Optimus Prime]] and the [[Last Autobot]].

''He also made a number of alternate reality appearances as well. He was one of the few surviving Autobots in a nightmare future where [[Unicron]] had destroyed Cybertron and [[Galvatron]] had taken over Earth. He was killed in a duel with [[Scourge (Transformers)|Scourge]]. He also appeared briefly in the [[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]] related future of the U.K. comics (issues 251-254) where he was one of the Autobots destroyed by an insane [[Rodimus Prime]] as Unicron attempted to take over his body from the [[Autobot Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]].''

===Dreamwave Productions===
Getaway did appear, pre-Powermaster, in Cybertronian car form in Dreamwave's third ''War Within'' comic series as one of the rebel Autobots free during the Age in Interrment on Cybertron. He was one of the few Autobots to escape internment, and was chased by [[Megatron]]'s army of [[Seekers (Transformers)|Seeker]] clones. However, he was saved by [[Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]] and [[Perceptor]]'s group of rebels. When one of the clones revived and attempted to kill them, Getaway gunned it down. Dreamwave's bankruptcy would mean the story went unfinished.

Getaway and Rev's only appearance in their Powermaster form in Dreamwave's stories was his entry in their ''More Than Meets The Eye'' biography series. In the biography Rev is described as a former race car champion from Nebulon.

*'''Generation 1 Getaway''' (1988)
:Identical to Godmaster Lightfoot, Getaway was a 15cm long Mazda RX-7. With a real Mazda of that model measuring 429cm long (about 14.075'), this toy would have a scale of about 1:29. Having a 15cm tall robot mode as well, that would mean Lightfoot would stand about 429cm tall as a real robot, or about 14 feet tall. Getaway came with Rev who transformed into an engine and fitted into Getaway's bonnet.
:The Powermaster Rev was redecoed and sold individually in Japan as Zetoca. <ref>http://www.tfu.info/1988/Cybertron/Zetoca/zetoca.htm</ref>
