I decided to do an information piece here to help everyone understand abbrevations I'll be using in this thread. G1 : Generation 1 aka The Original Toy Line based on the Original series which ran from 1984-1987 on Tv the Toy line ran to 1990. This includes the 1986 Animated Movie. G2: Generation 2 this ran from 1993-1995 the G1 cartoon was reran with a new computer animated Intro. BW: Beast Wars ran from 1996-2000 as a Toy line and 1996-1999 as a Cartoon series. its connected to the G1 times line. BM: Beast machines was a direct sequel to Beast wars and it ran 2 seasons as a cartoon from 1999-2000 and the toy line approximately the same years. As The name Implies the transformers in this series changed into Animals RID: Robots in Disguise 2000-2001 It was a filler series a direct import from Japan and is by far the most Anime of the Series. Uni1: Universe the first of two toy lines to bear this names, this one was all repaints of earlier toys lines from G2 to RID and even a couple of toy which had only previous ly been seen in over seas markets . Arm: Armada the first of what has become known as the Unicron Trilogy its biggest contribution is the introduction of the minicons. smaller transformers who aided the Autobots and Decepticons, an idea not seen since G1. Armada ran from 2002 to 2003 ( Approximately 2 seasons) Enr. : Energon the second part of the Unicron Trilogy Ran from 2004-2005 ( approximately 2 seasons worth of episodes) its notable addition what the wide use of a Combining gimmick for the Autobot figures.

TFTM: the toy line based on the 2007 hit movie. TFA: Transformers Animated this series ran from 2007-2009 and a few toys from it remain on shelves to this date ( mostly in Toys R us). The cartoon series is currently running in Japan and figures for it are still in production there. UNi2: Universe 2.0 another filler line that ended when ROTF began.

PCC: Power Core Combiners a side line to the current toys lines that features combining gimmick. Gen: Generations the newest Toy lines to features new figures of classic characters. Tran: Transformers the current continuing line for Movieverse style figures and larger figures. Enc: Encore: this a Japanese toy line that reissued many beloved G1 figures making it possible for those on a budget such as my self to get figures the loved in their youth or ones they did not get as kids and always wanted. There were also many Japanese cartoon series and toylines but as I do not have many figures from those lines I'll not be listing them here but I'll explain about them as they come up. tfwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page <==== excellent source for further information. |

THis time its the bring of Chaos :  Unicron first appeared in the 1986 Animated movie based on the G1 series. In that movie he was voiced by the legendary Orson Welles, it would sadly turn out to be his last role as he died before its release. he returned in what has become known as the Unicron Trilogy: Armada, Energon and Cybertron and was voiced by Mark Acheson. he has also appeared in the various Comics as well as the Japanese series Beast wars II and Beast wars Neo. |

Sorry for popping in so suddenly, but my brother has Unicron. We had no idea his minicon was Deadend. On War for Cybertron, we just got the new pact and Deadend was one of the new ones. It's so cool that you know that!! How do you know these things? Do you look them up?

I am a huge Transformers fan and I do research all over the net. this is one of the best Sources for Transformer information = tfwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page I also had an excellent memory for Transformers stuff. as for Dead End , the name was orginally used for a Stunticon In G1 and has been reassigned numerous times and the one in war for Cybertroni believe is based off the Stunticon. ( posted on my sister's smart phone lol) |

Ah~ The oh so wonderful Wiki. X3 I've been here before, looking for a bunch of things, but I don't think I've really done anything close to 'research'. But, you love Transformers, so it's only natural. I'm falling for it myself, so I will take your word for it and go onto TFWiki more often. ^.^ Don't want to get anything wrong.  Oh~~!! . . . Hm. . . Now I know something about Transformers that my little bro. doesn't. XD I'll be keeping that one in my back pocket. Why do they say that it's off of the G1 stunticon? Does he look closer or something? I haven't seen G1 in a long time. ^.^' (Ha ha. Nice~) |

Shezu it said he is basedoff the Stunticon as WFC is based off of G1
Writer: sort of Prime himself is one, Roller is the second and his trailer is the third.
New showcase coming up and he is not uncrassimatic!
