Erector (G1)
- Erector (giggle) is an Autobot Micromaster in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Erector (snort) is horrified by the destruction of war, and goes out of his way to construct battle plans that minimize loss of life and collateral damage. Indeed, he will sometimes put himself at risk to save beautiful buildings or scenery.[1]
- French-Canadian name: Éregon
Fiction
Erector recieved a profile in the More Than Meets The Eye series produced by Dreamwave, where he was given a serious treatment.
BIO: Erector could never be described as a coward, but he is unusually reluctant to engage in combat. He loves to build, and the one thing he truly fears is the collateral damage caused by warfare. In addition to being horrified by the loss of life, Erector is disgusted by the sight of a pockmarked wasteland where beautiful buildings once stood. He goes out of his way to ensnare opponents without destroying anything, even devising elaborate plans and devices to do so. His fellow Autobots respect Erector's beliefs, and the fact that he is still a suberb warrior, despite them.
Toys
Generation 1
- Erector (Micromaster Transport, 1989)
- Erector transforms into yellow semi cab pulling a relatively huge crane trailer. Erector and his trailer have a lot of sculpted detailing, and the fifth wheel (known as a 'hitch' among fans) allows the cab to turn as it tows the trailer. The trailer crane rotates, the arm pivots up and down, and it has a flip-out hook that imitates a crane's cable.
- Erector's transformation is standard for Micromasters — flip down the front of the vehicle to reveal his head, straighten out his legs, and you are done. His crane trailer transforms into a battle station, with flip-out stabilizers, communications antennas, a double-barrel gun that Erector can man (though he can't grasp the handles), and a large cannon formed out of the crane itself. Both the double gun and the main cannon can pivot up and down, and the latter retains its ability to rotate. As the other Micromaster Transports turn into planes, this base mode makes Erector unique among his sub-group.
- Erector (guffaw) is identical to the Japanese Micromaster character Cra-Gun.
