Fangtron

Fangtron is a Decepticon Battle Master from the War for Cybertron Trilogy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Remember, a Cobra is a snake and 'snake' is 'sneak' spelled sideways!

Fangtron is a no-good slithering snake, whose ultimate purpose is becoming a shield or ramp for Nemesis Prime!

• Nemesis Prime Spoiler Pack (Leader Unboxing, 2020)
  • Accessories: "Fire Blast effect"

Promoting the Earthrise season of the Netflix cartoon, the War for Cybertron Trilogy Nemesis Prime Spoiler Pack contains Giza and "Fangtron", an opaque Sith red redeco of the Earthrise Battle Master Slitherfang, transforming from a cobra into a shield holdable by any C.O.M.B.A.T. System-compatible figure. They also possess an A.I.R. Lock System connector in their snake mode, allowing them to form ramps by connecting to compatible bases, including Nemesis Prime's Combat Deck. Blast effects can be attached to their shield mode to emulate gunfire colliding with it.

Numerous online descriptions for this Leader Unboxing set refer to Fangtron as "Slitherfang". This set was a shared exclusive between online retailers and Walmart in Canada and the USA.
