Skullitron

Skullitron is a Decepticon from The Last Knight portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

Spooky scary Skullitrons send shivers down your spine.

Skullitron is one of the legendary Knights of Iacon and a sworn protector of the Staff of Merlin. The past millennium or so hasn't been kind to him.

His face came off, for example.

Skullitron lay rusting and inactive aboard the Knights' ship deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Awakened from his repose by the arrival of Viviane Wembly and Cade Yeager, the disoriented and decomposing Knight violently attempted to defend the Staff of Merlin from the human interlopers, but the arrival of the Transformers Reaction Force and ensuing battle led to the severely damaged Skullitron plunging down a chasm into the ship's bowels.

Toys

The Last Knight

• Skullitron (Premier Edition Deluxe Class, 2017)

Released as part of the Toys R Us exclusive portion of the Mission to Cybertron promotion in the The Last Knight line, Skullitron is a slight retool of Steelbane, giving the mold a new, seemingly 'rotten' skull face. His stock renders show the figure as having a similar paint scheme to Steelbane, however the final toy features more green and deep rusty shades to further differentiate them.

Unfortunately, Skullitron still suffers from loose ball joints due to being a redeco of Steelbane.

Notes

• Although Skullitron's toy was sold as a Decepticon, he exhibits no particular connection to the Decepticons in the movie itself (and is no more an antagonist than any of the other Knights).
