His cowling becomes a large blade-weapon he can hold in robot mode. Geocron can also transform into a bladed weapon that can be held by other figures, simply by flipping out his weapon's blade while leaving the cowling in place (the 5 mm post handle is already securely sticking out of the bike mode's back end, no adjustment necessary).

Notes

- While Legacy design lead Mark Maher had previously cited the rock monsters from the planet Daira in the Transformers: The Headmasters episode "My Friend Sixshot!" as inspiration for the Armorizers overall, Geocron and fellow Legacy: United tail ender Calcitron take it one step further with head sculpts ripped straight off the screen.<ref>{{#if: Geocron is a redeco of our previous Bouldercrash figure but with a new head that is straight out of the JG1 Headmasters episode featuring the inhabitants of planet Daira. |"Geocron is a redeco of our previous Bouldercrash figure but with a new head that is straight out of the JG1 Headmasters episode featuring the inhabitants of planet Daira."—|}}{{#if: https://www.instagram.com/p/C8IwV0ruuDu/ |Evan Brooks|Evan Brooks}}{{#if: Instagram |, Instagram|}}{{#if: |, ""|}}{{#if: 2024 |, 2024{{#if: 06 |/{{#switch:{{#len:06}}|1=006|06}}{{#if: 12|/{{#switch:{{#len:12}}|1=012|12}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: https://www.instagram.com/p/C8IwV0ruuDu/ ||}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://www.instagram.com/p/C8IwV0ruuDu/%7C7%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://www.instagram.com/p/C8IwV0ruuDu/%7C8%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://www.instagram.com/p/C8IwV0ruuDu/%7C7%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://www.instagram.com/p/C8IwV0ruuDu/%7C8%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref>
