- Archforce is a Decepticon Hero from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Archforce's time is now! This powerful, dangerous "Warrior Leader" will destroy everything in his path to fulfill his mission: defeating the Autobots. Enemy camps fall before the speed and strength of his tank mode, and he knows no weakness.[1]
He is obviously a completely unique individual bearing no similarities to anyone else, and we don't know why you would think otherwise.
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
Archforce was once a normal Decepticon soldier until Straxus had him surgically altered to look like Megatron as part of a byzantine scheme. In some realities, Archforce would commit suicide. In others, such as Primax 895.0 Gamma, he'd become his own Decepticon and a threat to Optimus Prime and Megatron alike!
Vector Prime once found an Archforce toy mint on sealed card at a nano-flea market. Ask Vector Prime
Toys
Generation 2
- Archforce (Hero, 1994)
- Accessories: Rifle, 2 air-launch missiles
- Archforce is almost wholly identical to the Generation 2 Hero Megatron toy, transforming into a tank reminiscent of an M-1 Abrams. Only the decals are different between the two; Archforce's had the character-identifying text removed from them. His main cannon is attached to a bellows using air pressure to launch the two large rubber-tipped missiles he comes with. He was available only in the European market.
- This mold was also used to make Robots in Disguise Bludgeon, which was repurposed as Shattered Glass Bludgeon, and Robotmasters Reverse Convoy.
Notes
- Like his wavemate Sureshot, Archforce is a curiosity. Presumably Hasbro's European offices didn't want as many Optimus Prime and Megatron toys on the shelves as the North American branch did, so they renamed the Hero toys of the two characters and altered any decals that bore their original names. Their bios were also reworded, but the new, briefer descriptions could easily apply to Optimus and Megatron anyway. They lack Tech Spec ratings, so it's unknown if they were intended to inherit the "10" rank as well.
