Generation 1

Not Jetfire.
  • Galaxy Shuttle (Autobot, 1989)
    • Japanese ID number: C-326
    • Accessories: Thruster-cannon
The Orion was repurposed from the Galaxy Shuttle toy. Galaxy Shuttle transforms into a large space shuttle. His cockpit opens to hold a Micromaster or similar-sized robot (like the Brainmaster units). His cargo bay is also deep enough to fit a suitably low-riding Micromaster in vehicle mode. He is designed to be able to rest on the launching pad of Countdown's Rocket Base in the place of its normal rocket. His top shuttle thruster/stabilizer fin becomes a (non-firing) hand-held cannon for robot mode.
