What do you mean, you can tell I was designed as a toy first?

Undertone is a ninja. He might be quietly implying something.

He works with Ratchet.

Robots in Disguise (2015)

• Mini-Con 4-Pack (2015)
  • Accessories: Chestguard/mask, left & right shoulder armor, left & right gauntlet-blades, left & right leg-guards

The first version of Undertone released, dubbed "Scorch Strike Undertone", comes in "desert"-themed ocher colors. He transforms from a small humanoid robot into a spheroid in a single step. As a Cyclone-style Mini-Con, he can attach to and launch from the Deployers Crazybolt and Overload... who are both Decepticons. Huh. He comes with an Autobot-sigil-shaped sprue with a number of clear plastic armor pieces that can be attached to him in both robot and sphere modes. He shares engineering with, but is not a retool of Major Mayhem. He has articulation in the arms.

This four-pack also comes with Blizzard Strike Backtrack, Scorch Strike Beastbox, and Blizzard Strike Swelter.

• Mini-Con 4-Pack (2016)

Notes

The packaging photo actually took some effort.

• Numerous online retailers refered to the figure from the first Mini-Con 4-Pack not as "Undertone" but as "Cyclostorm", suggesting it was originally intended to be a separate character from the "standard" release of Undertone altogether.
• Curiously, there exist two sets of promotional stock photos for the Mini-Con 4-Pack: the first set features Undertone in mostly white with tan accents, a color scheme not seen anywhere else.
