:First unveiled at [[Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021]], Tricranicus is a lava-colored [[redeco]] of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Deluxe Class [[Ractonite#Toys|Ractonite]] with a retooled beast mode frill, and transforms from robot to skeletal ''Triceratops'' in 16 steps. As a [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology|Fossilizer]], he can split into weapons and armor compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] for use by other ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' figures. The instructions for his original figure, Ractonite, suggest three possible weapons: a hammer, sword, and spiked club, and an armor mode that uses all of Ractonite's parts. Uniquely, the mold lacks traditional [[5 mm post|5 mm port]] hands in robot mode. Rather, the figure's arms end in fold-out 5 mm ''pegs'' instead, and the tail weapon is designed for Tricranius to wield with those pegs in mind. The peg-hand is depicted as a blaster on Tricranius's package art.<br />
<br />
:Like the earlier [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]], Tricranius is packed in a unique ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]''-style box with only ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' branding, but with an accompanying ID number placing him in ''Kingdom''. He includes a whopping eighteen redecoed [[Fire Blast effect]]s: in translucent blue are redecos of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Jetfire]], [[Blowpipe (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Blowpipe]], and [[Caliburst (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Caliburst's]] Fire Blasts, while in translucent red are ''Siege'' [[Omega Supreme (G1)#Generations|Omega Supreme's]] and two of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Soundbarrier#Toys|Soundbarrier's]] Fire Blasts. The Hasbro Pulse description claims the toy includes 19 Fire Blast effects<ref>Hasbro Pulse description: "The Tricranius Beast Power Fire Blasts Collection pack features 19 blast effects..."</ref>; this number seems to count Blowpipe's blast effect as two pieces and, [[:File:WFC_Kingdom_Tricranius_blast_effects.jpg|as seen in one of Tricranius's diorama stock photos]], one of Omega Supreme's pieces split into two when previous releases have had it glued together. A full listing of where else these blast effects were used can be found below. <br />

==Notes==<br />
*Unlike the Deluxe Centurion Drone or ''Generations Selects'' toys, Tricranius has character art on the interior of his packaging, which is an edit of [[:File:Kingdom Ractonite boxart.jpg|Ractonite's package art]]. Specifically, his frill and colors are changed to be more accurate to the toy, his head is flipped to look to his right, and his right forearm is swung down to point to his right, which looks slightly off since it does not account for the arm's change in perspective.<br />
<br />
*The name of this toy, "Tri-cranius", seems to be completely unrelated to the character, which does not have any hidden extra heads. However, the name makes perfectly sense when you realise the color scheme is a direct homage to Cybertron Scourge / Galaxy Force Flame Convoy, which not only shared the color palette, but also came with three heads, a "tri-cranius" indeed.<br />
