Day 338: Supreme Starscream (Cybertron)

The past Legends of Cybertron illustrations of Starscream, Skywarp, Ramjet, and Sunstorm were simplified, scaled down designed based on this Supreme-class toy, a truly whopping incarnation of the craven Decepticon commander, Starscream. This massive toy gives Starscream a removable crown worthy of his ego and ambitions, and designed to mimic a memorable moment from the 1986 animated movie. To give you an idea of how big this figure is, he is similar in scale to Primus and Unicron, earlier releases intended to be transforming planets. Supreme Starscream was available in 2005.

This drawing is the end of the line for the Cybertron line, and may be the last of the year depending on how the following weeks shake out.

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.
