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.
Foreign names
- Japanese: King Atlas (キングアトラス Kingu Atorasu)
