From MediaWiki
- Erector (snigger) 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]
Fiction
None known. (Really though, can you blame people for not wanting to write about a character named "Erector"?)
Toys
Generation 1
- Erector (Micromaster Transport, 1989)
- Erector transforms into yellow semi cab pulling a huge (by comparison to him) crane trailer. Erector and his trailer has alot 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 can rotate along its base, the arm can pivot up and down and has a flip-out hook on a rod (imitating the crane's cable).
- Erector's robot mode is the standard of Micromaster transformation - flip down the front of the vehicle to reveal his head and straight out his legs and you are done. However, as a Micromaster Transport, his crane trailer transforms into a battle station, with flip-out stabilisers with communications antennae, a double-barrel gun that Erector himself can man (though he cannot grasp them) 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 is indentical to the Japanese Micromaster character Cra-Gun.
