			:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection\|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' subline, [[Exo-Suit (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection\|Exo-Suit]] is a redeco of ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)\|Generations Selects]]'' [[Black Roritchi#Generations Selects\|Black Roritchi]], itself a retool of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Earthrise]]'' [[Fasttrack (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Decepticon Fasttrack]], packed alongside fellow Deluxe figure "[[Wheeljack (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection\|Decepticon Slicer]]". Together, the duo is an extensive [[homage]] to the original Action Master Slicer and his own Exo-Suit.

	:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection\|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' subline, [[Roritchi]], referred to in [[Bio\|product copy]] solely as Exo-Suit, is a redeco of ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)\|Generations Selects]]'' [[Black Roritchi#Generations Selects\|Black Roritchi]], itself a retool of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Earthrise]]'' [[Fasttrack (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise\|Decepticon Fasttrack]], packed alongside fellow Deluxe figure "[[Wheeljack (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection\|Decepticon Slicer]]".		:As a [[C.O.M.B.A.T.

	:As a [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System\|Weaponizer]]-styled figure, ~~Roritchi~~ transforms via [[partformer\|part-forming]] into a six-wheeled Cybertronian buggy-tank with twin blasters. ~~The dagger accessory can be attached to the back of their head in vehicle mode to form a~~ "~~seat~~" ~~that can accommodate either a [[Titan Master]] or a [[Prime Master]]. Concealed within their chest is an [[A.I.R. Lock System]] connection point, which allows them to link up~~ with ~~other toys in the line to form larger fortifications. As on the original toy, their blasters can also peg onto their robot-mode shoulders.~~

	~~:Roritchi can form weapon suits for other figures (nominally~~ Slicer), ~~with three "official" configurations:~~
	~~::'''1.''' Attaching Roritchi's~~ torso and leg pieces to Slicer's right shoulder and feet respectively, and using ~~their~~ blasters ~~to form~~ shoulder cannons ~~for Slicer~~,
	~~::'''2.''' A "club" configuration similar to Fasttrack and Black Roritchi~~'s spear weapon ~~modes but without the~~ long handle,
	~~::'''3~~.'~~'' A goofy sledge~~ mode ~~which~~ Slicer ~~can~~ ride in, ~~homaging [[~~Slicer ~~(G1)\|Generation 1 Slicer]]~~'s ~~above~~ 4WD Assault Vehicle. ~~Unlike~~ the ~~former two~~ modes~~, this was only shown off within the Pulse livestream~~.

	*[[Thundercracker (G1)\|Thundercracker]]'s Solo Mission Jet Plane is able to withstand enormous G-forces, thanks to its flexible duraflex metal construction. It is able to fly at very high speeds, even when brushing by treetops at low altitudes. When transformed into its exo-suit configuration, its high-density construction makes it impervious to most armaments. In both modes, its primary weapon is a [[sonic boom blaster]].		*[[Thundercracker (G1)\|Thundercracker]]'s Solo Mission Jet Plane is able to withstand enormous G-forces, thanks to its flexible duraflex metal construction.
