The Resistance executed Kord on their raid of Fortress Maximus, freeing the various political prisoners of high regard held in his interior. Head Games

• Fortress Maximus (Headmaster, 1987)

Kord was repurposed from the Generation 1 Spike Witwicky toy.

Spike is a Headmaster figure that comes with Fortress Maximus. Gray and blue, it transforms into Cerebros's head, which then in turn becomes Fortress Maximus's head. Although the on-package bio refers to 'the Nebulan leader, Spike', most assume it is supposed to represent the character from TV, making this the first Transformers toy of an Earth human.

This toy was also repurposed as Galen, and redecoed as Gran, Car Robots Plasma and Robotmasters Master. It was retooled to make BotCon 2014 Olin Zarak.
