Cradon is an Autobot Mini-Con from (presumably) the Generation 1 continuity family.
He's always on coffee break.

Cradon (クレイドン Kureidon) is eye-searingly yellow!


Toys

Generation 1

  • Cradon (Micron, 2008)
Cradon is a redeco of the Cybertron Giant Planet Team Mini-Con Longarm, transforming into a double-armed crane truck of undetermined model. He was only available in exclusive 2-packs of Boss coffee drink in Japan for a limited time, along with Seawave and "metallic" PVC mini-figurines of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Starscream. The two-pack caps had decals indicating what toy was inside.
This mold was also used to make Astro-Hook, who was repurposed to be Shattered Glass Stonecruncher, and Reachout.


Notes

  • Seawave and Cradon being Generation 1 characters is largely speculative at this point. There is nothing directly identifying them as belonging to a specific timeline, but as all of the other pack-ins were straight-up Generation 1 characters, well.
  • Despite the three toys in the Giant Planet Team set being gang-molded (and thus the parts were cast for it), TakaraTomy never released the third mold from the set, the plane. Whether they were ever going to in the first place or not is unknown. Going by Seawave and Cradon's colors, the final toy would have been almost wholly bright blue.
