Berserker

Berserker is a Decepticon from The Last Knight portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

You can lift 600 pounds? Well I lift up MASTODONS! Huss! Huss!

Berserker is a seething ball of destructive energy, his lust for violence constant and irrepressible. Anyone and anything that gets in his way is torn to shreds, leading his allies and enemies alike to give him as wide a berth as possible.

By some miracle, the humans captured him and he's been constantly struggling against his restraints, spitting out the most graphic threats imaginable, which have led to stronger restraints, which make Berserker even more angry...and the cycle continues. Naturally, Megatron wants this maniac back in his ranks, but he knows it's a tall order.

Berserker was among the Decepticons in T.R.F.'s custody. When T.R.F. was negotiating with Megatron, Megatron requested Berserker be one of the Decepticons released from custody to be part of his "crew". T.R.F. declined, claiming Berserker was far too dangerous to be released, so Megatron settled on Onslaught instead. He can also be seen in the final battle at the end of the film alongside the other Decepticons. The Last Knight

• Decepticon Berserker (Deluxe, 2017)
  • Japanese Release Date: 2017-04-29
  • Japanese ID number: TLK-03
  • Accessories: 2 spiked weapons

Part of the first wave of The Last Knight Premier Edition Deluxe Class figures, Berserker changes from a Chevrolet Suburban to robot and back. He includes a pair of spiked weapons which he can hold via 5mm post. They can hang off of his back panel by the small hooks on the handles, and store in the undercarriage of his vehicle mode. His design is heavily inspired by Crankcase but features a different sculpt and conversion scheme. His hands also have two thumbs on opposite sides, which is awesome.

The vehicle mode kibble on his forearms is not affixed to him and merely pegs into sculpted slots on his arms. This leads to a somewhat weak hold and the kibble parts falling off during conversion. In vehicle mode, several of the tabs meant to hold the outer body together don't fit well, resulting in large gaps. The panels that form the back of the vehicle in particular have a tendency to pop out due to excessive pressure. It's best if you start at the front with the panels that tab into his hips and work your way backwards.

"Even if you force back what was lost, it still won't be the way it was."

• Decepticon Berserker (1-Step Turbo Changer, 2017)
  • Japanese Release Date: 2017-07-15
  • Japanese ID number: TLK-03

Released in the second wave of 1-Step Turbo-Changers, Berserker changes from pick-up truck to robot when his spoiler and hood are folded upward. He has articulated shoulders and 5mm compatible ports in his fists. His vehicle mode is a pick-up truck of fictitious origin rather than the Chevy Suburban that his first toy used.

• Decepticon Berserker (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2017)
  • Bag Code: ?

Released in Series 2 of Tiny Turbo Changers, Berserker changes from a robot to a pick-up truck based on his 1-Step Changer design rather than the Chevy Suburban alternate mode of the deluxe class. He features articulated shoulders and hands that can grip Cyberverse weapons and other 3mm compatible posts.

Are you sure this is a Hammer you speak of?

• Megatron & Berserker (Mission to Cybertron 2-pack, 2017)
  • Accessories: Blaster

Available with Megatron, Berserker is a redeco of Prime Legion Class Breakdown, transforming from robot into an armored car. He also retains Breakdown's large triangular-barreled cannon, which has multiple 3mm posts and holes so it can be combined with other weapons and vehicles.

This mold was also used to make Fallback.

Notes

• Berserker is based directly upon Dark of the Moon Crankcase, right down to his Deluxe Class figure's spiked weapons.
