| This article is about the Decepticon tiltrotor aircraft from the live action movie continuity. For the Mini-Con from Armada, see Incinerator (Armada). |
- Incinerator is a Decepticon from the live-action movie continuity family.
Most of the Decepticons who came to Earth seeking Megatron stick to the shadows, stealthily seeking out tips on their leader's whereabouts. However, stealth is not Incinerator's thing. He wants to know where Megatron is, and he's going to interrogate every Autobot he can capture to find out. His interrogations generally consist of taking his hapless "passengers" on a terrifying flight and scaring whatever scraps of information they might have out of them. Of course, once they've told Incinerator what he needs to know, they're free to go...
...from 25,000 feet up.
Toys
Transformers (2007)
- Incinerator (Voyager, 2008)
- Japanese ID number: MD-22
- As part of the "AllSpark Power" portion of the movie line, Incinerator transforms into a Bell Helicopter Textron/Boeing Helicopters V-22 Osprey tiltrotor transport aircraft, based upon the CV-22 variant used by the US Air Force and featured in the film. Pushing on the radar mounted on his tail activates an extensive gear-train, which causes both rotors to rotate regardless of whatever position his wings/arms are in. His Automorph feature opens up his canopy as his chest assembly is rotated downwards into robot mode and (in a lesser Automorph) pops out his pelvis once his legs are separated away from his vehicle underside.
- The TakaraTomy version of Incinerator sports a different color scheme than the Hasbro counterpart, replacing the two shades of gray with a primarily black color (but retaining the purple and "Allspark Power" blue plastic colors). In addition, in an attempt to make the alternate mode more movie-accurate, it also sports "0025" markings on the tail. Like all Japanese "Allspark Power" releases, "black" Incinerator comes with a small Allspark cube accessory.
Trivia
- Incinerator was one of the many working names for fellow Decepticon helicopter Blackout.
- Incinerator's coloration and personality appear to be based on those of the Generation 1 Combaticon Vortex...which was yet another working name for Blackout.
- Incinerator's box art is curiously different from the actual toy's head design, as the art sports large, round, Bumblebee-styled eyes that take up a large portion of the face, whereas the toy's head sculpt sports a Jazz-type visor for eyes.
- There are currently only three CV-22 Ospreys in active US Air Force military service, so one of the two seen in the movie might have been Incinerator. Or maybe not.
