Dracodon
From MediaWiki
- Dracodon is a Maximal from the Kingdom portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Dracodon is green... and radioactive!
Toys
War for Cybertron: Kingdom
- Part of the third wave of Kingdom Core Class figures, Dracodon is a radioactive green-and-gold redeco of Vertebreak. He[2] transforms from a Dracorex skeleton to a 3.5-inch tall robot and back. The tail can detach in robot mode to use as a weapon or store on the robot mode's back.
- Unlike Deluxe Class dino-skeleton characters in Kingdom, neither Dracodon nor Vertebreak can disassemble into weapons and armor for other figures.
- Be wary with his tail; as it's a rubberized plastic similar to fire blast effects. As such, it can cause paint chipping or potentially warped plastic.
- Unlike every other Transformers toy revealed at Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021, Dracodon and Soundwave were not available for pre-order after the virtual panel.
Notes
- In real life, the status of Dracorex as a valid genus is controversial as the type specimen has been argued to actually just be a misclassified juvenile Pachycephalosaurus (a common issue in palaeontology due to the frequency of immature animals looking quite different from their adult forms).
- Despite not being an official Deluxe Fossilizer, Mark Maher described Dracodon as a "radioactive bone Fossilizer" during Dracodon's reveal in Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021.
