Cartoon

"Now I'm the one with the muscles and the power!"

Reptron teleported to a jungle on Earth, the perfect place to train using his powers. But Reptron's careless manner caused a series of accidents, and the Go-Bots had to intervene to save a town from the flood he created.

Reptron challenged Beast-Bot to a race through Pyramid City, an ancient Incan ruin. Reptron's heavy footfalls caused the pyramid to crumble around them, and he became snared in a booby-trap. Beast-Bot rescued him, and though the race ended in a tie, Reptron admitted Beast-Bot, who had stopped to save him, had clearly won.

Reptron had the power to be a member of the Go-Bot Team, but needed to learn to use that power wisely. He vowed to train hard and one day join Aero-Bot's team. Reptron's Rampage

Online comic

That rascally Reptron.

Reptron, testing out his strength in Earth orbit, knocked a comet towards the planet. Silver-Bot spotted the comet just as it was breaking in two, and Aero-Bot was able to save the world with his Flying Fists! Aero-Bot Flying Fists

This appears to be a direct follow-up of Reptron's cartoon appearance. That Reptron - he'll never learn!


Toys

Go-Bots

[edit]
  • Reptron (Basic Go-Bot, 2002)
Part of the first wave of "Basic" Go-Bots under the Transformers: Go-Bots brand name, Reptron is a redeco of Dino-Bot, whom he was released alongside. He transforms into a robotic Velociraptor, whose tail/head assembly has just enough wobble in beast mode to give him a litlte bit of jabberjaw action.
He was redecoed as Greg for Japan.
This toy doubles as the Wreckers character Reptron.


  • Reptron (Mission: Earth, 2003)
Released as part of the "Mission: Earth" assortment during Go-Bots's run without the "Transformers:" in the line name, this black redeco of Reptron is the version that shows up in the little-seen Go-Bots cartoon.


  • Reptron (Invisibility Force, 2005)
Part of the second wave of "Invisibility Force" toys during the line's second run under the Transformers: Go-Bots name, this version of Reptron uses translucent plastics, and some of the paint applications have been removed to enhance the "invisible" look.
This toy was intended for release in 2004, but was held back for unknown reasons, finally showing up in various places after the toyline had been cancelled in 2005. This version was ever-so-slightly retooled from the original toy, and was redecoed as Beast-Bot.


Notes

[edit]
  • "Reptron's Rampage" refers to Reptron's beast mode as a T. rex.
