Fiction

Spacewarp's Log

At some point, a lost Insecticon patrol crash-landed on the planet Serton. One of their number interfaced with the database which operated the ruined underwater city Sertlandia, becoming Chromhorn. Chromhorn sent his troops out to raid local villages for slaves in order to rebuild the ancient Sertlandians' Temporal Analysis & Replication Dampening Interference Subjugator. Unfortunately for Chromhorn, the villagers of Azurala paid the visiting Decepticon Spacewarp to investigate the abductions. To keep the powerful TARDIS out of Chromhorn's possession, Spacewarp and her crew tried to take it for themselves, only to be confronted by the Insecticons. Spacewarp proceeded to trick Chromhorn into turning the TARDIS on, and Chromhorn was trapped in his own increasingly unlikely future. Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/29

Toys

  • Chromhorn Limited Forest Type (Basic, August 5 2004)
    • ID number: SD-18
    • Accessories: Drill-sword, gatling-cannon, Decepticon energon chip
Released in the thirteenth wave of Takara Super Link toys (and the only new toy in that wave), the Chromhorn Limited Forest Type is a redeco of the Chromhorn (aka Insecticon) toy, in numerous shades of green. In robot mode, its front pair of insect-legs swing up to become over-shoulder (non-firing) blaster-cannons.
It comes with two energon weapon parts, a drill-sword and a rotating gatling-cannon. The gatling-cannon is designed to fit over its insect-mode head as a helmet, and sadly, the gatling part does not spin freely. These two combine to form a large "Energy Drill" "Ultimate Energon Weapon"; this form is also basically the only way to store the drill-sword in its insect mode. It also comes with a Decepticon-style energon star that can attach to the spark crystals of most other Energon toys.
The packaging was largely unchanged from the regular Chromhorn release, only a new bubble-front and a sticker to cover the original ID number were added. This release, like the other "Type" variant Terrorcons, had a smaller production run than their first iterations.
