Wedge Shape is a Mini-Con of questionable allegiance from the Generation 1/Beast Wars continuity family.

Wedge Shape (ウェッジシェイプ Wejji Sheipu)... is somebody.

He's not actually wedge-shaped. Nor, for that matter, does he at all resemble Wedge. Just who he works for is a matter of debate.

Toys

Generation 1

  • Wedge Shape (Mini-Con, 2007)
A redeco of the Classics Mini-Con Dreadwing, Wedge Shape transforms into a red mechanical eagle. Wedge Shape was an exclusive to "BIC Camera" stores in Japan. The exact details of his promotion are unknown at this time, but he is considered one of the harder-to-get promotional Mini-Cons, as few knew he even existed at the time he was offered.
This mold was also used to make "Shattered Glass" Divebomb and Universe Longview.

Notes

  • "Wedge Shape" likely refers to the wedge-tailed eagle whose distinctive tail is wedge-shaped.
  • While Wedge Shape's toy is branded with a Maximal logo, his instructions claim him to be a Predacon. With a complete lack of other information on the character, it is impossible to know exactly what the hell the deal is and who he really works for. Take your pick, or have him be both.
  • Wedge Shape's instructions (as well as those of his contemporary exclusives Noise Effect and Torque Gain) use the "classic" Japanese Transformers logo, ostensibly placing him within the Generation 1 continuity family. However, as noted above, he's got Beast Era faction sigils applied to him. It would appear then that he is from a "transitional" period from Generation 1 to the Beast Era... though chances are TakaraTomy didn't put even that much thought into it. Toys is toys.
