3H comics
When Trailbreaker and Silverbolt cut the security systems that kept Unicron's prisoners in their cells, King Atlas was part of the swarm of Cybertronians who made their escape. Escape Following his escape he joined Optimus Primal and the Children of Primus in battling Unicron's minions in what would become known as the Universe War. Homecoming
King Atlas would later team up with Depth Charge to set up an underground network to free Unicron's captives from the Cauldron. Depth Charge's Universe profile
At what would be the end of the Universe conflict, Optimus Primal led his Children of Primus against the Minions of Unicron within Unicron himself. Unicron began falling apart beneath them, and so King Atlas and the others were forced to escape. King Atlas grabbed Trailbreaker and Roulette, intending to carry them to safety through a dimensional portal presumably leading back to Primal's technorganic Cybertron. Revelations Part 2
Toys
Universe (2003)
- King Atlas (Ultra, 2004)
- Accessories: 6 missiles
- A redeco of the Generation 1 Decepticon Predator Skyquake, King Atlas transforms into a large bomber jet, its model pretty much made-up but based (loosely) on the Blackbird recon plane. Like the other U.S. release of this mold, Machine Wars Starscream, it lacks the original spring-loaded missile launcher hand-weapon due to there being no way in hell it would pass U.S. safety testing. It does retain the "carpet bombing" gimmick in its wings, plus the light-pipe and "periscope" gimmicks.
Notes
- Hasbro Transformers Design Director Aaron Archer said that this figure was deliberately colored to resemble Dai Atlas.
