![]() ![]() The infection spread to the Triple Changers and almost killed them, but Goldbug and his human friend Charlie Fong saved them along with the infected Autobots.Īfter participating in the attack on the Autobots to recover captive Decepticons, Octane was amongst those Decepticons on the front-line of offensive against invaders believed to be the Autobots in the Arctic (in reality it was Scorponok's faction of Decepticons) and was present during the meeting between Ratbat and Scorponok. Unfortunately, the spaceship that had brought the parts of Wash'n'Roll from Cybertron to Earth was infected by Scraplets. Generation 1 series, Octane debuted along with Astrotrain and Blitzwing, serving as workers in Ratbat's new " Wash'n'Roll" project. Hasbro requested that Octane be substituted for Blitzwing in the story because Octane was a newer toy that they wanted to promote. ![]() It was Blitzwing who was estranged from the Decepticons at the beginning of the third season, and Octane getting stuck in mid-transformation when meeting Starscream would have been more appropriate for Blitzwing, who is known to suffer from this problem. Octane does not appear in the follow-up episode also featuring the ghost of Starscream, "Ghost in the Machine." He does make a background appearance in "The Ultimate Weapon," but this may be an animation error (Blitzwing also makes an appearance in this episode, and both Decepticons had been exiled from the ranks by Galvatron).Īccording to officials who worked on the series, the storylines spotlighting Octane in the end of season three were originally written for Blitzwing. The scheme failed, as Galvatron fought his way out of their trap and sent the duo fleeing once more. Possessing Cyclonus, Starscream allowed Octane to escape, and the two formed a deal to get rid of Galvatron and take over. About to be caught and executed, the Triple Changer received help from an unlikely source - the ghost of Starscream, who had been killed by Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie. In the episode "Starscream's Ghost", Octane fled into the Decepticon crypt, pursued by Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps. ![]() Sandstorm would help him escape to Cybertron. The two unlikely allies would end up dodging both Galvatron's troops and hired bounty hunters on Octane's trail. Even more worryingly for Octane, it attracted the attention of his former leader Galvatron, who put a price on his head for his treachery.ĭuring his desertion, Octane collaborated with the Autobot Triple Changer Sandstorm to avoid getting captured. This alerted Autobot leader Rodimus Prime, who was able to foil his scheme. When Trypticon's energon consumption spiraled out of control, Octane was forced to blow his cover by sending him to steal various world monuments. Repairing him, Octane used Trypticon as a bargaining chip, securing enough oil to convert to energon for himself, attacking Carbombya's enemies in return. The city-sized Decepticon had been knocked into the ocean after his last battle with Metroplex. In the episode "Thief in the Night", Octane deserted the Decepticons and fled to Carbombya and there he discovered Trypticon. His eventual alliance with Starscream, in which the two refer to each other as old friends, further implies Octane's status as having originally served under Megatron. Octane first appears in "Five Faces of Darkness Part 1" where it is presumed that he is among the Decepticons exiled from Cybertron during the movie. It is implied, however, that he existed in the Decepticon ranks during and even prior to The Transformers: The Movie, though he is not seen in the feature. In the original Generation 1 cartoon, Octane only appeared in the third season. After losing the rights to the original trademark many years after his introduction, Hasbro assigned the name Tankor to the character. Being one of the three Decepticon Triple Changers, Octane can transform between a robot mode and two vehicle modes: a tanker truck and a Boeing 767 jet. In jet mode, he is said to make other planes (even other Decepticons) crash-land for fun. He is characterized as a mean-spirited bully, who takes delight in seeing others suffer. Octane is the Decepticons' fueler, in charge of storing and distributing fuel among Decepticons with vehicle modes.
