Great, for the first time Cliffjumper's paranoia was actually right and he dismissed it.
  • Powerlinx Demolishor with Powerlinx Blackout (Super-Con Class, 2003)
  • Takara ID number: MD-10
  • Takara release date: October ??, 2003
  • Accessories: 4 missiles
  • Known designers: Aaron Archer (Hasbro)
The Armada Powerlinx Demolishor figure was officially repurposed as Shattered Glass Demolishor.
Part of the final wave of Armada product, this redeco of the original Demolishor gives him in a new red and off-white color scheme, roughly homaging Ironhide. According to Aaron Archer, he was originally intended to be colored like Sixshot, because Demolishor's gun-hands reminded him of Sixshot (we don't get it either—maybe he meant Six-Gun?),[1] but the red color scheme was decided upon and used in the animated series first, so the toy had to follow suit. Reflecting the late nature of this change, his packaging depicts a normal-colored Demolishor toy, as the colors had not been decided upon by the time cardback photography was required.
The Takara "Ironhide Super Mode" release is similar to the Hasbro one, but its colors are once again lightly tweaked to look more cartoony, in darker, more primary shades and not as glossy. It also lacks the dark blue paint on top of the Hasbro version's head, and once again has a "separated" Decepticon symbol rather than a block-painted one.
