	:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Comic Edition\|Generations Comic Edition]]'' "Emirate Xaaron" is a [[retool]] of [[Reflector (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege\|''War for Cybertron: Siege'' Refraktor]], gaining a new head and comic-accurate chest (complete with comic-accurate scar). He transforms into the "Combat Mode" he mentioned having but never using, with the design having been invented for this toy. He includes a pair of treads that attach to either his robot legs or to the sides of his vehicle mode, as well as a shield and blaster that combine to form the alt-mode's turret. The vehicle parts all attach via [[5 mm post]]s, so you can set them aside and have a more comic-accurate "only-a-robot" appearance. Without the combat mode parts, he can still assume the nebulous hovercraft form of the base mold, or one-third of a camera, technically. If you ''do'' want to make him part of a camera, note that Xaaron can only act as one of the two side parts, since the new chest tooling lacks the ports needed to attach Refraktor's camera lens, and obviously Xaaron does not include any of the parts necessary to complete the lens and tripod.		:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Comic Edition\|Generations Comic Edition]]'' "Emirate Xaaron" is a [[retool]] of [[Reflector (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege\|''War for Cybertron: Siege'' Refraktor]], gaining a new head and comic-accurate chest (complete with comic-accurate scar).
