| This article is about the Energon-series Omnicon. For the Cybertron-series Mini-Con, see Offshoot (Cybertron). |
- Offshoot is an Autobot-allied Omnicon from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Unlike his brother Signal Flare, Offshoot doesn't care about working in the energon mines. He'd rather use his impressive energon-sculpting abilities as an Omnicon to make weapons, and then use those weapons to shred Decepticon armor. He's a very skilled combatant, even earning the praise of Optimus Prime, but his tendency to show off for his teammates has left him vulnerable to unseen attackers.
Toys
Energon
- Offshoot (Omnicon, 2004)
- Accessories: Dish, 2 shield halves, Autobot-style Energon star
- A redeco of Signal Flare, Offshoot transforms into a Cybertronic half-track MASER tank (a vehicle created in the Godzilla movie series). Moving the MASER arm causes the dish on the end to spin. The dish can be combined with a pair of shields to form an energon weapon, a large spinning buzzsaw that can be held by most larger toys in the Unicron Trilogy lines.
- This toy was used to make live-action-movieverse Signal Flare. The Signal Flare/Offshoot body design was used as the model for the Attacktix Omnicon.
- His "Energon Cutter" weapon mold was also used to make a pair of exclusive energon weapons in Japan; the "Energy Cutter Daylight Attack Edition", plus an orange version as a bonus pack-in with the Super Link Hot Shot Fire upgrade.
