Razorbeam

Razorbeam is a Decepticon-allied Mini-Con from the Power Core Combiners portion of the movie continuity family.

If you want to use him as an axe, you'll have to give him to someone else.

Razorbeam is partnered to the Decepticon Darkstream. He has a multitude of alternate modes that enhance his larger partner's combat capabilities... in theory.

• Darkstream with Razorbeam (Commander Class, 2010)

• Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro), Andrew Scribner (deco artist)

Part of the third wave of Power Core Combiners Commander Class figures, Razorbeam is a redeco of Chopster, transforming from a small robot into a double-bladed axe, a multi-barreled cannon, and chest armor for compatible Power Core Combiner super robot forms. He comes packaged with his larger partner Darkstream, who lacks the chest-mounted Powerlinx plug needed for Razorbeam's chest armor mode, so he plugs into the plug on Darkstream's back/jet fuselage. And because Razorbeam has a small 4mm post before it gets to the 5mm post higher up on the handle, Darkstream's shallow 5mm fist-holes cannot hold Razorbeam in axe mode. This basically leaves the vehicle-mode weapon as the only official mode remotely useful to Darkstream.

This mold was also used to make Peaceman.

• Power Core Combiners Special Value Offer (Value Pack, 2011)

Darkstream and Razorbeam were also made available as part of a Walmart-exclusive Black Friday "Value Pack", combining a 5-pack team with a Commander 2-pack via packaging tape and a couple of stickers, for the whopping price of ten bucks, merely a third of what the two toys would normally cost.

So far, Darkstream has only been found attached to the Mudslinger/Destructicons set.

Notes

• Razorbeam is the only Mini-Con from the third wave Commanders whose stock photography doesn't show him in colors different from the actual toy.
