Shockwave ( Transformers: Gen 1) Remember that kid on the playground that no one liked but you had to play with because your mom told you everybody needs a friend? Remember how you'd always leave him at the monkey bars to "guard the base" while you and your real friends went out to raid the super-fast slide? Yeah, in Decepticon circles they call that kid "the Shockwave." He turned into a giant laser pistol, which sounds wicked cool in theory, but when you consider the fact that he spent his 4 million years as the supreme Decepticon commander of Cybertron doing nothing save steadily burning through the planet's remaining power reserves, you sort of get a feel for how unmotivated a robot he really was. Assuming that these "forces of evil" operate entirely within the realms of arson and trapping unsuspecting cats in very tall trees. Yep, there's surely no better vehicle for fighting the forces of evil than a fire truck. While we called the Autobot leader, this time in the guise of a fire engine, Optimus Prime, they called him Fire Convoy. And the gross oversimplifications didn't stop there. In Japan they called it Transformers: Car Robots.
Those, my friends, are what we call leadership chops! It is also of note that Ultra Magnus taught a generation of children that swearing is cool.įire Convoy (Transformers: Car Robots) In the States we called the Transformers anime of the early 2000s Transformers: Robots in Disguise. Ultra Magnus ( Transformers: Gen 1) While touted as the model solder and paragon of Autobot virtue, Ultra Magnus is better known as the jackass who lost the Matrix of Leadership, and then, once it was recovered, decided it would be a pretty cool idea to just let some teenage punk keep it instead. Huffer ( Transformers: Gen 1) Why did someone name an Autobot after your college dorm mate with a thing for airplane glue? (We can safely assume this was from the same brain trust that gave us "Kup.") Huffer fulfilled an important role in the Transformers universe as the consummate pessimist, teaching children that no matter how well crafted your latest project may be, it will surely be destroyed by renegade Decepticons. Part magic raccoon, part alarm clock, part… oversized testicles, Heinlad still holds the dubious title of being the only Transformers action figure to ever come with a jug of wine in his accessory kit. But in a world of robot giraffes, mammoths, ammonites, bunnies, and penguins, Heinlad stood out as the most laughable.
