Kre-O online comic

Torox and the Predacons were unleashed upon the Autobot base constructicon site, tearing the buildings down and pooping everywhere, and the Autobots couldn't bring themselves to fight them since they were so cute in beats mode. When they combined into Predaking for the killing blow, however, they found the Autobots had no reservations about fighting a big ugly robot, and were defeated. Behemoth Combination!

My actual toy has a horn, honest.
  • Predaking (Micro-Changer Combiner, 2013)
    • Set number: A2227
    • Pieces: 79
Torox comes as part of the Predaking Micro-Changer combiner set, and can be rebuilt from his robot mode into a rhino. He can also contribute his bricks to form Predaking together with Razorclaw, Headlock and Divebomb.

Notes

  • Torox is modeled after Generation 1 Headstrong, but with a new name, presumably due to trademark issues. It would seem his name was supposed to be the close-sounding Headlock and that the name Torox, which originated as the Italian name for Generation 1 Tantrum, was to be used for his bull teammate, but their names were mistakenly swapped somewhere along the line. The Platinum Edition re-release of the Generation 1 Predacons would later correctly apply the name Torox to Tantrum.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Tantrum (タントラム Tantoramu)
