Generation 1
- Erector (Micromaster Transport, 1989)
- Erector transforms into yellow semi cab pulling a relatively huge crane trailer. Erector and his trailer have a lot of sculpted detailing, and the fifth wheel (known as a 'hitch' among fans) allows the cab to turn as it tows the trailer. The trailer crane rotates, the arm pivots up and down, and it has a flip-out hook that imitates a crane's cable.
- Erector's transformation is standard for Micromasters — flip down the front of the vehicle to reveal his head, straighten out his legs, and you are done. His crane trailer transforms into a battle station, with flip-out stabilizers, communications antennas, a double-barrel gun that Erector can man (though he can't grasp the handles), and a large cannon formed out of the crane itself. Both the double gun and the main cannon can pivot up and down, and the latter retains its ability to rotate. As the other Micromaster Transports turn into planes, this base mode makes Erector unique among his sub-group.
- Erector (guffaw) is identical to the Japanese Micromaster character Cra-Gun.
