Beast Wars: Uprising

[edit]

The Tyrant Blade was a pre-Great War dagger that belonged to the former gladiator Double Punch, displayed in the collection of his postwar Builder-era mansion. When Double Punch's Predacon protégé Gnashteeth usurped his Decepticon master, Gnashteeth appropriated the dagger, which functioned as a spear in the smaller proto-former's hands. Firing 50,000 volts from the newly renamed "Tyrant Spear", the also newly renamed "Megatron" completed his coup by executing Double Punch. Identity Politics

Rising to leader of the planet-spanning crime syndicate the Darksyders, Gnashteeth employed his double-bladed spear to good use. In a failed experiment to perfect the Beast Upgrade, Megatron killed a misshapen Overbite by plunging the Tyrant Spear through Overbite's spark. Not All Megatrons

Toys

[edit]

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]
  • BlackZarak (Headmaster, 1988)
    • ID number: D-311
Masterforce BlackZarak comes with one major new accessory—his red, two-piece "Tyrant Spear", which he can hold in robot mode.

Combiner Wars

[edit]
"Not sure that is a spear. More of a letter opener, really."
  • Megatron (BotCon 2016 souvenir)
Released as a souvenir figure for BotCon 2016, Combiner Wars Megatron is a redeco/retool of the 2001 Robots in Disguise Ultra Class Megatron/Galvatron mold.
The Beast Wars: Uprising prose stories described Megatron's staff as a version of the Tyrant Spear. Said staff is assembled from two missile launchers, which can also be held individually in Megatron's hands.
This mold was also used to make the weapon for Timelines Deathsaurus.


Generations Selects

[edit]
  • Black Roritchi (Deluxe Class, 2020)
    • ID number: WFC-GS22
A Generations Selects add-on to Earthrise, Black Roritchi is a minor retooling of Fasttrack. As a Weaponizer-styled figure, Black Roritchi transforms via part-forming into a six-wheeled Cybertronian buggy-tank with twin blasters. His instructions include a massive spear configuration meant to be held by the then-concurrent Titan Class Scorponok, inspired by (though not visually based on) Black Zarak's Tyrant Spear. The spear mode is also shown in the instructions being used by fellow Selects release Exhaust, which is pretty funny given it's about three times Exhaust's height.


  • Black Zarak (Titan Class, 2021)
Scorponok himself was later retooled into Generations Selects Black Zarak with a plethora of newly-molded pieces, including a new Tyrant Spear accessory modelled on the original. The Tyrant Spear separates into six pieces for storage in both scorpion and city modes. In particular, the tip of the spear becomes the scorpion's stinger.


Shattered Glass Collection

[edit]
  • Decepticon Slicer & Exo-Suit (Deluxe Class, 2022)
For further information, see: Exo-Suit (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection
Released as part of the Shattered Glass Collection subline, Exo-Suit is a redeco of the above Generations Selects Black Roritchi Weaponizer figure, packed alongside fellow Deluxe figure "Decepticon Slicer".
While primarily intended to homage Generation 1 Slicer's 4WD Assault Vehicle/Exo-Suit accessory, Hasbro designer Mark Maher intimated that the figure was also designed as a sort of "best of both worlds" of the prior two Selects offerings, reproducing Black Roritchi's Tyrant Spear mode in Generation 1 accurate colors.<ref>Decepticon Slicer reveal in the June 23, 2022 "Hasbro Pulse | Transformers Fanstream" with Ben MacCrae, Isabella Weiss, and Mark Maher.</ref>


Merchandise

Super Collection Figure

[edit]
BlackZarak and his cousin GreyishZarak.
  • Devastor (2001)
  • Ginrai (2001)
  • Go Shooter (2001)
  • Metalhawk (with Minerva) (2001)
  • Omega Supreme (2001)
  • Overlord (2001)
    • Act: 5
    • Accessories: Spear
BlackZarak was the "Build a Figure" from the fifth, Masterforce-centric wave of Takara's line of Super Collection Figure PVC figurines. BlackZarak's parts were available in both full-color and smokey translucent plastic. The figure cannot securely hold its Tyrant Spear, which is held in place only by gravity.


Notes

[edit]
  • If the inclusion of Beast Wars: Uprising Megatron's weapon on this page seems puzzling, remember that Uprising is full of networked homages. The original Double Punch toy was inspired by Generation 1 Scorponok, whose variant form BlackZarak included the original Tyrant Spear. In turn, Uprising Double Punch was the owner of his reality's Tyrant Spear before Megatron the Younger stole it.
  • The Tyrant Spear in the Legends manga is a "virtual redeco" of the trident that came with Hunt for the Decepticons Deluxe Class Terradive.
