Toxitron was to be a redeco of the Generation 2 Laser Optimus Prime toy, with "pea soup" green, silver, and purple as colors. It was planned to be released as part of the original Universe toyline, but was canceled, presumably due to the line's flagging sales and relocation of many of its larger-priced items from normal retail to store exclusives.
Toxitron was first shown at BotCon 2005's "TF Rarities" panel by Rik Alvarez, with people describing it as "amazingly ugly" and "f***ing awesome". Later, it was on display at the "Things you've never seen before (and will never get)" booth at the Hasbro tour at BotCon 2007.
