Dragonus

Dragonus is a Decepticon and a short-lived Autobot Mini-Con-turned-Weaponizer from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Rejected for participation in the Triwizard Tournament.

Dragonus has dreams of being the greatest knight in the land. An insatiable seeker of the glory of victory, he eagerly throws himself into every mission, always believing he is only one more challenge away from finally becoming Sir Dragonus of the Decepticons. The Decepticons, for their part, neither know nor care where he got these ideas, but if putting on a crown and an accent gets them a flying, firebreathing warrior, they're more than happy to play along.

The Saurian Overlords shall rise again!

• Dragonus (Mini-Con, 2015)
  • Accessories: Armor sprue (helmet, blaster, left & right axes, 2 triple-claws, left & right wing-flames)

Dragonus transforms from a robotic dragon into a Cybertronian torpedo in a single step. As torpedo-style a Mini-Con, he can attach to and launch from Deployer Fracture. He comes with a number of clear plastic accessories attached to a Decepticon-insignia-shaped sprue, which can be attached using tabs and slots. Some of these parts can combine with those of his wavemates Divebomb, Sawback, and Slipstream to form an energy lion.

This mold was also used to make Windra.

Sometimes I feel like being benevolent for no apparent reason.

• Mini-Con 4 Pack (Mini-Con 4-Pack, 2016)

Included in a 4-pack with Lancelon, Lord Doomitron, and a Decepticon version of Bashbreaker, this now "Autobot Dragonus" is a significant retool of his first toy, changing his torpedo shell into that of a double barreled cannon. He shares only the inner swing-arms that connect his shell to his body with the original version, now featuring a jointed 5mm post tail so he can be wielded by larger figures. The detailing on his Weaponizer mode appears to be modeled after a vehicle of some sort, with what appear to be viewports on the front end and on a short tower on his back end. While no armor sprue was included, he is compatible with the original Dragonus's add-on pieces, and as before they do not need to be removed for transformation.

Despite being an Autobot this time, his in-game counterpart is still labeled as a Decepticon. This mold was also used to make Dragonblaster.

But then again, I do like to be evil for the majority of the time!

• Decepticon Dragonus (Mini-Con Weaponizer 2016)
  • Accessories: Armor Sprue (helmet, blaster, left & right axes, 2 triple-claws, left & right wing-flames)

This redeco of his Weaponizer form is part of the sixth wave of Mini-Con figures and done up in black and purple... oh, and he's a Decepticon again! He retains his armor sprue from his original Torpedo figure.

This wave never hit retail in the US, only coming out in various European and Asian markets.
