Generations
- Autobots vs. Decepticons (Micromaster multi-pack, 2019)
- Part of a Target-exclusive set of ten Micromasters, Siege Ricon is a retool of Highjump, featuring a new head and torso based on Generation 1 Hydraulic. He transforms into something akin to a Cybertronian Land Rover, and can also combine with Irontread to form a double-barrelled C.O.M.B.A.T. System blaster.
Notes
- Ricon's name appears to be derived from the "RI Construction" label on the original Ironworks toy's vehicle mode, itself a reference to Rhode Island, home to Hasbro's headquarters.
- Ricon's status as an original character, not homaging any prior Micromaster, was confirmed by John Warden during an interview at San Diego Comic-Con 2019.
