Day 142: Night Attack Mini-Con Team

I've been avoiding, somewhat, just drawing straight-up redecos, but I'm making an exception with the Night Attack Mini-Con team because they're meant to be unique characters, even though they're just the Land Military Team with a stealthier paint job. On the left is Scattor, a missile-firing truck (who is identical in design to Bonecrusher). Sneaking on the ground is Broadside, who shares a design with Knock Out, turning into an armored personnel carrier with a big honking missile launcher. And at the right is Fetch (design match for Wreckage), a tank with two big missile launchers.

Day 79: Superion (Universe)

The combined form of the Universe Micromaster Aerialbots is Superion, an amalgamation of six robots plus their pack-in accessories that serve as connectors, head, and extremities of the gestalt warrior. While in Japan, the original source of the design ( Sixwing , 1992) was available in a collected set, this combiner needed to be purchased one bot at a time in the 2007  Universe release.

Day 251: Mad

The last of the Air Assault Micron Team trio is Mad, who turns into a Concorde SST. A design that's been used several times already -- see Jetstorm , Scattor , Thrust , Mach , and Quantum -- this version has some of its plastic parts in a translucent finish, giving it a high tech feel. Mad was available in Japan in 2003. He was later rechristened "Skull Buster" in Fan Club-generated lore.

Day 26: Nemesis Prime (Alternators)

Nemesis Prime, an evil twin to Optimus Prime first introduced in the Armada line, gets the Alternators treatment, allowing a reuse of the Dodge Ram SRT-10 design. In the North American market, this toy was only available at the Hasbro Toy Shop and at San Diego Comic-Con International in 2006.
