Riggorus (リゴラス Rigorasu) is a Decepticon combat surgeon.[1]
Toys
Masterpiece
- Riggorus (Masterpiece, 2024)
- ID number: MP-56+
- Release date: March 30 2024
- Accessories: 2 shoulder cannons, 2 twin-barreled guns, force barrier
- Masterpiece Riggorus is a redeco and retooling of MP-58 Hoist, itself an extensive retooling of MP-56 Trailbreaker, with the latter's camper attachment on its back, and a new head based on the original Trailbreaker toy. Riggorus transforms into a fully-licensed Toyota 4WD Hi-Lux camper truck with an opening hood and doors, with the coloration based on the yellow Diaclone "4WD Hi-Lux" figure.
- Fitting in with the toy-based head, Riggorus comes with two double-barreled pistols which can mount over their hands, two shoulder guns, both based on the original Diaclone mold's accessories. Also included is a plastic "force barrier" effect part which pegs onto Riggorus's chest. In the proud Masterpiece tradition of packing additional cartoon accessories with redecoes, that last one is a screen-accurate reproduction of Trailbreaker's trademark force field ability as seen in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "The Immobilizer," intended for use with his own Masterpiece figure. What significance it holds for Riggorus (if any) is currently unknown.
Notes
- Back in 1982, Takara released the Diaclone mecha toy 4WD Hi-luxe (4
WD ハイラックス) in three decoes. In 1984, Hasbro used the black version to make Generation 1 Trailbreaker. Long afterward, the blue version would become Generations Selects/Legacy DK-3 Breaker in 2022. Finally in 2024, the yellow version came to fruition as Masterpiece Riggorus.
