Transformers
- Twitcher F451 (Real Gear Robots, 2008)
- Part of the sixth and final wave of Transformers Real Gear Robots, Twitcher is a redeco of High Score 100, transforming into a (non-functional) wireless video game console controller of made-up model. Several companies have produced actual working controllers at a scale only slightly larger (though considerably thicker), but Twitcher F451's lack of a pair of analog triggers beneath his shoulder buttons means he is incompatible with the Xbox 360.
- Twitcher is one of the few Real Gear Robots to contain an Automorph gimmick; when you press up the switch on the controller's front, the robot's head raises and its pectoral plates rotate into place. Like all Real Gear Robots toys, his robot mode is supposedly at 1:1 scale.
Notes
- Twitcher F451's name may be a reference to Fahrenheit 451, a 1953 science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury and the temperature at which books burn. This guy doesn't want to see you not playing video games.
- Twitcher F451's green color scheme, along with the fact that he turns into a generic version of an Xbox controller, seems to point to him being a homage to Master Chief, the protagonist of the Halo video game franchise.
