Dualor (Armada)

Dualor is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

The leader of the Destruction Mini-Con Team, Dualor might very well be one of the most dangerous Mini-Cons ever. Not so much for his physical attributes, which are admittedly impressive. But Dualor is a staunch believer in Mini-Con independance, loathing all "bulks", be they Decepticon or Autobot. He will lie, coerce, bully, and flat-out kidnap others into his cause. And there is nothing he's not willing to sacrifice... even other Mini-Cons, whether they signed up for his vision of how things should be or not. If innocents must suffer and die for his cause, well, so be it.

People like this need watching. Perferably from a distance, behind a barrier of some kind.

Toys

Armada

• Destruction Mini-Con Team (Basic, 2002/2003)

Japanese ID number: MM-04

Dualor transforms into an anti-aircraft tank similar to a Gepard. He features a gear-wheel system that causes his tank-mode cannons to pom-pom back and forth when he is rolled in vehicle mode. He can also be attached to the underside of the Armada Cyclonus mold, interacting with the Decepticon’s gear-wheel rotor system.

This mold was also used to make Ascentor and Zapmap.

• Sandstorm & Cannon with Destruction Micron (Multi-pack, 2003)

Japanese ID number: MS-04

In Japan, the Destruction Team was available both as an individual Team, and in a multi-pack with Cyclonus.

• Destruction Microns X-Dimension (Basic, 2003)

Japanese ID number: MM-09

A limited-edition (yet still standard retail) redeco of the Destruction Team was released in Japan. The entire team was given an orange and gray color scheme.

• Duster Undergrove Edition (Mini-Con, 2003)

Exclusive to Ito Yokaido stores in Japan, one member of the "Undergrove Edition" Destruction Team was given at random to customers who bought Micron Legend product in January (or until they ran out of them).

• Duster White Micron (Mini-Con, 2003)

In April, Japanese "TF Station" affiliate stores gave out solid-white versions of the Destruction Team as part of the "Golden Week" holiday. These pieces were made with the intent of being "paint your own" versions.

• Duster Space Galaxy Edition (Mini-Con pack-in, 2003)

In May, Jusco stores in Japan got in special versions of Convoy Super Mode that contained one member of the "Space Galaxy Edition" Destruction Team per box... but the bonus Mini-Cons were blind-packed inside the boxes. As such, this version of the Team is among the most expensive of the promotional Mini-Cons on the secondary market.

• Road Wrecker Mini-Con Team (Basic, 2003)

Late in the Armada line, a redeco of the Destruction Team was put out under a new Team name (but as the same individual characters). This version is primarily green with gray parts.

Energon

• Road Wrecker Mini-Con Team & Night Attack Mini-Con Team

An unaltered version of the Road Wrecker Team was released as part of an Energon-series "Mini-Con 6-pack" with the Night Attack Mini-Con Team.
