Block Town

[edit]
  • Control Tower Set (Block Town, 1996)
    • ID number: TFBT-2
    • Accessories: Radar array/rifle, control tower brick set
The European-original Terradive mold was one of several intended to be used in the post-G-2 Takara Block Town line, as an Autobot. To be redecoed in blue with green, Terradive was to come with the "Control Tower Set", a building-block control tower that could be rebuilt into a battle station of some form. However, this set ultimately never came to release.
In 2005, a supposed Takara "release" schedule listed the Block Town sets among several other future items coming out. Only the Galaxy Force items on that list saw release, however (and some only as store exclusives to boot).
Given that Terradive's Japanese name was revealed on a BotCon Japan-exclusive poster to be "Terradive"—a poster that also showed Windbreaker's Japanese name as being "Carzap", which was what the Block Town Windbreaker redeco showed up as in the Transformers Generations guidebook—it's likely that the Block Town Terradive was going to be named "Terradive" as well. The whole "Autobot" thing makes the issue somewhat hazy, though.
Your bargaining posture is highly dubious.

Proceed on your way to oblivion.
This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Notes

[edit]
  • Unlike the other Axelerator/Skyscorcher molds, the Terradive mold's gang-molded pair, Eagle Eye, was not announced for use in Block Town. A hypothetical Block Town "Hawking" would likely have been simply a lighter green, with a blue tailfin.
