This article is about a character or concept which lacks any official name or designation. |
- The Black Viper Go-Bot was to have been a character from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The "Black Viper Go-Bot" is a mysterious individual.
Toys
Generation 2
- ? (Go-Bot,
1995)- Accessories: Rifle
- Planned as a Go-Bot item for Generation 2, this character transforms into a black Dodge Viper. The figure has through-axle construction to allow for super-fast rolling in car mode. Like its fellow "new"-mold teammates, the figure's rifle stores under the car mode. Ultimately, it went unreleased, and the character it was intended to represent remains unknown, if Hasbro ever made a decision.
- This mold was eventually used to make the Spy Changer version of Robots in Disguise Side Burn and the 2003 Universe version of Generation 1 Jazz.
 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
Notes
- The ad hoc designation "Black Viper" was used in a "Toys For Tots" charity auction listing at BotCon 1996.
- "Black Viper" got far enough along in development to receive package art Hasbro, which was revealed by Instagram-based fan @roboticplanettoys in 2021. Alas, this was too late to appear in Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging, which did include Rumble, "4X", "911", and Hound, though not "Purple Mercedes".
- Your guess is as good as ours as to which faction this character would have belonged.
