Generation 1 (Merchandise)
The Decepto-Pack was a sold by HG Toys in 1985. It's the only actual transforming Transformers "costume" marketed to the public. Why they chose the Decepticons over the Autobots is unknown, except perhaps that bad guys are just cooler.
Packaging variant: The Decepto-Pack was sold featuring either a cheerful blond boy in a yellow shirt, or sullen brown-haired boy in an orange shirt. The boxart differed completely between variants. Presumably the brown-haired version came later, since it matches the live model.
The face on the Decepto-Pack sheild kind of resembles Cy-Kill from the Tonka GoBots series.
