The '''Alligaticon''' is a Reptilicon drone made by the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] from the remains of the disassembled [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]].  

It was purportedly big and heavy. 

We'd say a little of both.

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
The Alligaticon was created by the Constructicons from the remains of the disassembled [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] after he was captured by the [[Decepticon]]s. The creature was let loose into the sewers beneath [[New York City]] which was being redecorated into [[New Cybertron]]. [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] noted that they made good use of Prime's remains.

In the sewers, the drone encountered the [[Autobot]]s [[Ratchet (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ratchet]], [[Hound (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hound]], [[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]], and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]], who believed it to be a simple mindless beast. They tricked it into an abandoned train, where it got trapped and sent down the tracks. It was only later that they realized that Optimus Prime had been disassembled after encountering his head in the Decepticon base. Hound finally realized why his scanner kept picking up Prime when the Alligaticon attacked.

They sought the creature again in the sewers, where they struggled to capture it until Prime used his remote controls to bring the beast in line. After that, Ratchet used the parts to reassemble Optimus Prime at the expense of the poor Reptilicon Alligaticon. Talk about animal cruelty. {{storylink|City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel}}

===''Kre-O'' online manga===
The Decepticons reassembled the Alligaticon by stealing Optimus Prime's parts while he was sleeping. When they confronted the Autobots, Prime used his mental control of his body to disassemble the Alligaticon and reform a Mega-Optimus body for himself. {{storylink|Negligence Is the Greatest Enemy!

*'''Alligaticon''' (ULTIMATES!, 2022)
**''Accessories'':  Optimus Prime head; Optimus Prime gun rifle; Decepticon tower tip w/ arm; [[Battle taxi]]

: Part of the third wave of ''[[Super7#Transformers ULTIMATES!|Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], the Alligaticon is a 10-inch-long non-transforming figure. It makes ample use of multi-swivel joints to give its limbs a relatively wide range of motion, plus extensive tail jointing, a mid-body bend, some neck waggle, and an opening jaw.

: It comes with multiple "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]"-themed accessories, including a tower with Optimus's arm attached to it. The arm is permanently attached, but the hand uses a standard ULTIMATES! connector-joint and can be popped off and (potentially) replaced with the other hands from the Optimus figure.{{fact}}

: Preorders for the Alligaticon (and the rest of Wave 3) opened on [[December 1]], 2021, with the toys projected to ship in fall 2022... and ''actually'' shipping in November 202''3''.

==Notes==
*Given the context, the Alligaticon is pretty clearly a reference to the urban legend of {{w|Sewer alligator|alligators in the sewers}} of New York.
