- Archforce is a Decepticon Hero from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Archforce's time is now! This powerful, dangerous "Warrior Leader" will destroy everything in his path to fulfill his mission: defeating the Autobots. Enemy camps fall before the speed and strength of his tank mode, and he knows no weakness.[1]
He is obviously a completely unique individual bearing no similarities to anyone else, and we don't know why you would think otherwise.
Toys
Generation 2
- Archforce (Hero, 1994)
- Accessories: Rifle, 2 air-launch missiles
- Archforce is almost wholly identical to the Generation 2 Hero Megatron toy, transforming into a tank reminiscent of an M-1A. Only the decals are different between the two; Archforce's had the character-identifying text removed from them. His main cannon is attached to a bellows using air pressure to launch the two large rubber-tipped missiles he comes with. He was available only in the European market.
- This mold was also used to make Robots in Disguise Bludgeon, which was repurposed as Shattered Glass Bludgeon, and Robot Masters Reverse Convoy.
Notes
- Like his wavemate Sureshot, Archforce is a curiosity. Presumably Hasbro's European offices didn't want as many Optimus Prime and Megatron toys on the shelves as the North American branch did, so they renamed the Hero toys of the two characters and altered any decals that bore their original names. Their bios were also reworded, but the new, briefer descriptions could easily apply to Optimus and Megatron anyway. They lack Tech Spec ratings, so it's unknown if they were intended to inherit the "10" rank as well.
