Hyakurai is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Galaxy Force portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Hyakurai (ヒャクライ) is a member of the Caliber Mini-Con Team, a special strike force under the command of Wing Saber. He is a serious 'bot who always gets the job done.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Vector Prime noted that the exploits of the Caliber Mini-Con Team had yet to reach the Quadwal universal cluster, but iterations of them were often found in the service of Wing Saber. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/19

Hyakurai's added 5mm peg
  • Hyakurai (Caliber Micron, July 2005)
Hyakurai is a redeco and retool of the Armada Air Military Team Mini-Con Gunbarrel, transforming into a bomber plane, with a third six-barreled cannon mode. A 5mm peg was added to the underside of the mold's plane cockpit, allowing him to be used as a hand-held weapon as well as one mounted on a Powerlinx plug. (The Cybertron version of Wing Saber does not have standard 5mm-hole hands, and instead has to mount Hyakurai on his wrist.)
He and the other Caliber Microns were only available in July of 2005 from select stores in Japan as special promotional giveaways. Hyakurai could be obtained with the purchase of any Transformers item from either Ito Yokaido or any store that had purchased a "TF Station" affiliation.
The same mold (without the extra peg) is used by Combusta, Effect, and Sky Lynx.

Notes

  • Hirofumi Ichikawa explains that Hyakurai comes from Hyakurai-jutsu (百雷術, "The Art of Hundred Thunders"), a ninja trick employing gunpowder.
