- King Atlas is an Autobot who was yanked out of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family into the Universe conflict.
King Atlas is a colossal Autobot, once the commander of the army of Combatron, who now fights alongside Optimus Primal against the hordes of Unicron.
Fiction
Force of Habit
King Atlas was the commander of the Transformer army based on the planet Combatron, stationed as part of the efforts to construct a galaxy-wide Space Bridge. Long ago, he inexplicably vanished, and the result was an endless planetary civil war all across Combatron. Force of Habit
Universe
When Trailbreaker and Silverbolt cut the security systems that kept Unicron's prisoners in their cells, King Atlas was part of the swarm of Cybertronians who made their escape. Escape
King Atlas would later team up with Depth Charge to set up an underground network to free Unicron's captives from the Cauldron. Depth Charge's Universe profile
At what would be the end of the Universe conflict, Optimus Primal led his Children of Primus against the Minions of Unicron within Unicron himself. Unicron began falling apart beneath them, and so King Atlas and the others were forced to escape. King Atlas grabbed Trailbreaker and Roulette, intending to carry them through a dimensional portal to safety. Revelations Part 2
Toys
Universe (2003)
- King Atlas (Ultra, 2004)
- Accessories: 6 missiles
- A redeco of the Generation 1 Decepticon Predator Skyquake, King Atlas transforms into a large bomber jet, its model pretty much made-up but based (loosely) on the Blackbird recon plane. Like the other US release of this mold, Machine Wars Starscream, it lacks the original spring-loaded missile launcher hand-weapon due to there being no way in hell it would pass US safety testing. It does retain the "carpet bombing" gimmick in its wings, plus the light-pipe and "periscope" gimmicks.
Notes
- Hasbro Transformers Design Director Aaron Archer said that this figure was deliberately colored to resemble Dai Atlas.
