The trailer crane rotates, the arm pivots up and down, and it has a flip-out hook that imitates a crane's cable.

	:The crane ~~was sold without changes during~~ the ~~''Zone'' portion~~ of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#~~1990~~ Zone\|~~Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers~~]]'' ~~toyline in Japan~~.		: The crane trailer transforms into a battle station, with flip-out stabilizers, communications antennas, a double-barrel gun that Erector can man (though he can't grasp the handles), and a large cannon formed out of the crane itself. Both the double gun and the main cannon can pivot up and down, and the latter retains its ability to rotate. As the other [[Micromaster Transport]]s turn into planes, this base mode makes Erector unique among his sub-group.

			: Erector was sold in Japan a year later as ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Zone\|Zone]]'' "Cragun"; this release is physically identical to the Hasbro one.
