- Camshaft is an Autobot from the live-action movie continuity family.
When you need a planet surveyed, but the conditions are too hostile even for Bumblebee, Camshaft's your bot. He and his team are often the first ones into a dangerous planet. Thanks to his All Spark-enhanced adaptive armor and silent-but-deadly weapons systems, Camshaft is well-equipped to deal with harsh environments and Decepticons alike.
Fiction
IDW comics
Following the defeat of Megatron, Camshaft was part of a small Autobot unit led by Arcee that tracked Starscream, now the leader of the Decepticons, to his base on Mars. The Reign of Starscream #2
Toys
Transformers (2007)
- Autobot Camshaft (Deluxe, 2008)
- Released as part of the AllSpark Power refresh of the live-action movie toyline, Camshaft is a Autobot-aligned redeco of Swindle. Camshaft transforms into a car incredibly similar to but legally distinct from a Chevrolet Cobalt, coloured silver with a black hood and roof (giving him a striking similarity to Generation 1 Bluestreak's animation model).
- During transformation, his Automorphing gimmick flips out his head/chest section on its own from his upper torso. His head can barely move in robot mode, but a modification may be done by the owner to increase its range of motion. His torso also features a spring-loaded cannon that extends when a button on his back is pressed, and the cannon structure itself can be extended from the torso to give a more impressive appearance. This cannon gimmick can also be used in car mode, where it looks like a super-turbo-nitro exhaust pipe.
- Because Camshaft is a redeco of Swindle, he has the Decepticon camera-lens style head instead of the usual Autobot drone faceplate head.
Trivia
- The body design is based on the Tricked-Out Car body of the Create-A-Bots. The wine-colored robot-mode parts also give it a feel similar to the Autobot Swindle units, of which Camshaft is a redeco.
