Toys

[edit]

Timelines

[edit]
  • BotCon Souvenir Set #2 Autotrooper (Multipack, 2011)
  • Accessories: Left & right "shock paddles"
The Animated Autotrooper is a redeco and new-head retooling of the Cybertronian Mode Ratchet/Ironhide mold, transforming into a futuristic quad-track van-like thing. They come with two "shock paddle" accessories which peg over their fists, and the right fist punches forward when a tab on the elbow is pushed in. These "shock paddles" plug into the rear of the vehicle mode. The toy also has a socket on the left forearm to accommodate Deluxe Lockdown's EMP weapon, just like the previous Deluxe mold. However, how well that accessory actually fits in the socket seems to vary wildly from sample to sample.
The Autotrooper was only available in a pack of three, an at-show "souvenir" set available at BotCon 2011. The toy also comes with a "Generation 1"-style Tech Specs-style bio, written by Jim Sorenson.
This mold, with this headsculpt, was also used to make the BotCon 2011 attendee exclusive Fisitron.


Kre-O

[edit]
  • Cycle Chase (Kre-O set, 2012)
  • Accessories: Two small blasters, large rifle
Part of the second series of Transformers Kre-O sets, a trio of Kreon Autobot Troopers are chasing Barricade. They are based on the Autotroopers, and have varying appearances and clear-blue weapons. Two come with door and wing kibble, and the door-winged Trooper wears a striped helmet and wields a big rifle, possibly denoting that he is of high rank. They have redecos of Hound's helmet. They come with a road block.

  • Troop Builder Multipack (4-pack, 2023)
A new-head retool of the War for Cybertron: Siege Deluxe Class Ironhide figure, "Animated Universe Autotrooper" transforms from robot to Cybertronian van and back. Autotrooper includes a redeco of Ironhide's "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher," which is C.O.M.B.A.T. System-compatible and can convert into a large hammer. There are multiple hardpoints on the figure and their weapons to accommodate Fire Blast effect parts, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Most intriguingly, however, Autotrooper also includes an alternate head based on the original Kiss Players Autorooper design, intended to be used with a second copy of the figure for troop-building. Neat?
Notably, the Autotrooper's head(s) utilize new technology developed by TakaraTomy designer Shogo Hasui wherein the two head designs slide onto a single "skull" via a rail system rather than brute forcing the neck ball joint as in past releases.<ref name = "Pulse June 23"/>
The flaw with Siege Ironhide's leg panel hinges has been fixed on Autotrooper, meaning they do not pop off at the slightest pressure.
Autotrooper is one of four figures included in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee "Troop Builder Multipack", along with Decepticon Seeker, Quintesson Trooper, and G2 Universe Cybertronian Trooper. This set was a Target exclusive in the US, although some quantities were available via Hasbro Pulse (those did not last long though, pre-selling out very quickly).
