- Studio Series KSI Boss is a redeco of The Last Knight Decepticon Nitro, and transforms into a non-specific fighter jet. It features a removable head compatible with Deluxe-or-larger Titans Return molds, and its jet mode similarly features an opening cockpit that can seat a Titan Master. The KSI Boss's head does not need to be removed for transformation.
- This mold was also retooled into Studio Series Thundercracker.
Notes
- The design that would become the KSI Boss was originally created by film series concept artist Josh Nizzi in 2009, for a character design tutorial DVD. Concept art for the KSI Boss retains the arm-mounted whips from the tutorial robot, but these are not present on the final on-screen model.
- The KSI Boss model was modified to create Nitro Zeus for The Last Knight. While the finalized design for Nitro Zeus sports a modified Shockwave head, earlier concept art simply gave him an adjusted KSI Boss head, with a new central eye and different "ears". It was this early head design that the Nitro toy possessed, and which was retained for the Studio Series KSI Boss.
