| This article is about the Mini-Con combiner from Generations. For characters named "Centurion", see Centurion (disambiguation). |
- Centuritron is a Mini-Con or Ammonite combiner from the Generation 1 continuity family (via the Generations toyline).
Centuritron is a Mini-Con combiner. If the rumors are true, he has the power equivalent to 100 warriors, which is presumably how he got his name.
He is the combined form of the three-members of the Mini-Con Assault Team:
- Heavytread, the tank
- Runway, the jet
- Windshear, the helicopter
Fiction
2005 IDW continuity
As Shockwave explained his role in the Dark Cybertron prophecy to Galvatron, a swarm of seventy billion Ammonites descended upon Cybertron, with Centuritron front-and-center among the throng of invaders. The Becoming
Games
Transformers: Battle Tactics
Centuritron participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of him! Centuritron could be recruited to a team if all of his components were at max level. Transformers: Battle Tactics
Toys
Generations
- Mini-Con Assault Team (2014)
- Series/Number: 02 / #013
- Accessories: Thrusters, cannon, minigun
- Known designers: Joe Kyde (Hasbro)
- Part of the eighth wave of Generations Deluxe Class toys, Thrilling 30 Centuritron is the vaguely deluxe-sized combined form of the Mini-Cons Heavytread, Runway, and Windshear. The weapons that the three come with combine into a larger weapon for Centuritron to wield via 5mm post. He features a Powerlinx port on his, er, crotch, and the 5mm ports on Runway's own arms can still be used (somewhat). Windshear's free-spinning rotor can be a major hindrance for Centuritron (if the blades are able to get through Windshear's panels on the back of her arms), though not to a major extent.
- The stock imagery, and for that matter most other appearances (even the Battle Tactics character design), depict Runway's thruster gun with yellow paint on the barrels.
- He comes with a copy of "Into the Abyss: Dark Cybertron Chapter 4". In a rather egregious example of robot mode kibble, Centuritron has Heavytread's entire face exposed on his butt.
Generations (Japan)
- The TakaraTomy version, part of the fourteenth wave of Japanese Generations toys, is noticeably shinier, casting his plastics in darker, metallic shades, and featuring numerous additional silver paint details, among other deco changes. His stock photography erroneously depicts him being cast in the same glossy, non-metallic plastic as the Hasbro version. He lacks the comic.
Notes
- The name "Centuritron" started out as one of the name options that one could pick on Hasbro's Fan Built Bot poll on April of 2013 (which ultimately resulted in the creation of Windblade).
Foreign names
- Japanese: Centuritron (センチュリトロン Senchuritoron)
