- Steelbane (Deluxe Class, 2017)
- Japanese Release Date: 2017-07-15
- Japanese ID Number: TLK-11
- Accessories: Sword
- Released as part of the second wave of The Last Knight Deluxe Class figures, Steelbane transforms from a robot clad in medieval armor into a dragon. He is armed with a sword, which can be stored on the figure's back in dragon mode, or on either thigh in robot mode. Due to his transformation scheme, Steelbane's robot mode feet end up sticking out of his tail and his dragon mode neck.
- Unfortunately, Steelbane suffers from loose ball joints, which prevent his dragon mode from staying together. Additionally, the figure's larger wings are molded in a softer plastic, and are prone to being warped straight out of the package.
- He was also retooled into Skullitron.
- Optimus Prime / Steelbane / Bumblebee (Tiny Turbo Changer 3-Pack, 2017)
- The new-mold Tiny Turbo Changer Steelbane is included in a three-pack with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee redecoes, part of the Reveal the Shield exclusive subline. Molded in soft vinyl, Steelbane transforms from a super-deformed robot into a super-deformed mechanical dragon in just a few steps. As part of the subline gimmick, Steelbane's wings feature a red-and-blue pattern with a hidden faction insignia, revealed by using the included transparent red weapon accessories as a filter.
Notes
- Despite the instructions labelling him an Autobot, Tiny Turbo Changer Steelbane's hidden insignia are Decepticon ones.
