			: Released in the sixth year of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)\|The Transformers]]'' toyline (fifth year in the European line), Flattop was sold carded with his nameless aircraft carrier. As a carrier, its top deck is large enough to transport Flattop in his jet mode, though not much else.

The bottom of the carrier has three small wheels, allowing it to roll along a smooth surface, as well as wheels on ''top'' of the landing deck.

	:The carrier transforms into an "interstellar jet", with the bow runways folding out as the wings. Flattop can either clip into the open cockpit area while standing or sit inside, with a "control bar" keeping him from flying out. The large laser cannons can be mounted on either the large wings or the smaller rear wings. The wheels that were once on the carrier deck now serve as the wheels for the jet mode.		:The carrier transforms into an "interstellar jet", with the bow runways folding out as the wings.

The bottom of the carrier has three small wheels, allowing it to roll along a smooth surface, as well as wheels on ''top'' of the landing deck.		: Flattop was sold carded with his aircraft carrier ''Platonix'' (despite it not being named as such back then). As a carrier, its top deck is large enough to transport Flattop in his jet mode, though not much else. The carrier has two large laser cannons port and starboard, and has two holes for the front landing gear peg on Flattop to plug into, either ready for take off or taxiing to a runway. The bottom of the carrier has three small wheels, allowing it to roll along a smooth surface, as well as wheels on ''top'' of the landing deck.

	: The carrier transforms into an "interstellar jet", with the bow runways folding out as the wings. Flattop can either clip into the open cockpit area while standing or sit inside, with a "control bar" keeping him from flying out. The large laser cannons can be mounted on either the large wings or the smaller rear wings. The wheels that were once on the carrier deck now serve as the wheels for the jet mode.		: The carrier transforms into an "interstellar jet", with the bow runways folding out as the wings.

	[[Flattop (Decepticon)\|Flattop]] uses his aircraft carrier '''''Platonix''''' as a home away from home on his long, lonely missions into the ocean. Since he can fly on his own, he can use the vessel's jet mode in conjunction with his own to launch one-man two-pronged attacks on targets. The carrier is armed with heat seeking torpedoes, and adds x-ray laser cannons to the mix in its flight mode. Not limited to the seas, the carrier can fly between planets as well.<ref>Dreamwave profile for Flattop in ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|More than Meets the Eye]]'' #2</ref>		[[Flattop (Decepticon)\|Flattop]] uses his aircraft carrier '''''Platonix''''' as a home away from home on his long, lonely missions into the ocean.
