- Darkray is a Decepticon-allied Mini-Con from Power Core Combiners.
Darkray is partnered to the Decepticon Windburn. He has a multitude of alternate modes that enhance his larger partner's combat capabilities.
Toys
Power Core Combiners
- Windburn with Darkray (Commander Class, 2010)
- Part of the third wave of Power Core Combiners Commander Class figures, Darkray is a redeco of Caliburst, available only packaged in with his larger partner Windburn. He transforms from robot mode to two different cannon configurations; one for vehicle-mode use, or a longer mode for hand-held (or arm-mounted) use. He also has an "armor" mode that connects to a Commander's chest- or back-mounted Powerlinx plug for use in either of their robot modes.
Notes
- Darkray's stock photography is full of little oddities that aren't part of the final product.
- The most obvious difference is that it depicts him in translucent yellow and silver, but the final product is translucent green and black because he is gang-molded to Crankcase (who has translucent green eyes, you see).
- The arms of the stock photo version are also opaque silver, hinting at a dropped paint operation.
- Finally, his weapon modes as shown there not only aren't as they are in the instructions, but are slightly impossible, as his head gets in the way of the back of the cannon. You can approximate it, but the gun will be pointed severely downward.
- With his partner Windburn apparently being an homage to DC Comics' Orion of the New Gods, Darkray's name might be a mashup of Orion's father Darkseid and his friend Lightray.
