This article is about Decepticon Slicer's Exo-Suit partner in the mirror universe. For their villainous regular universe counterpart, see Black Roritchi.
Roritchi is a heroic Decepticon Exo-Suit from the Shattered Glass continuity family.

Roritchi[1] is a heroic Decepticon serving as Slicer's Exo-Suit partner. It's unclear as to whether they are a mindless drone or a true Cybertronian; regardless, they prove a useful ally for their master Slicer.

Toys

Shattered Glass Collection

  • Decepticon Slicer with Exo-Suit (Deluxe Class, 2022)
Released as part of the Shattered Glass Collection subline, Roritchi is a redeco of Generations Selects Black Roritchi, itself a retool of Earthrise Decepticon Fasttrack, packed alongside fellow Deluxe figure "Decepticon Slicer".
As a Weaponizer-styled figure, Roritchi transforms via part-forming into a six-wheeled Cybertronian buggy-tank with twin blasters. The dagger accessory can be attached to the back of their head in vehicle mode to form a "seat" that can accommodate either a Titan Master or a Prime Master. Concealed within their chest is an A.I.R. Lock System connection point, which allows them to link up with other toys in the line to form larger fortifications. As on the original toy, their blasters can also peg onto their robot-mode shoulders.
Roritchi can form weapon suits for other figures (nominally Slicer), with three "official" configurations:
1. Attaching Roritchi's torso and leg pieces to Slicer's right shoulder and feet respectively, and using their blasters to form shoulder cannons for Slicer,
2. A "club" configuration similar to Fasttrack and Black Roritchi's spear weapon modes but without the long handle,
3. A goofy sledge mode which Slicer can ride in, homaging Generation 1 Slicer's 4WD Assault Vehicle. Unlike the former two modes, this was only shown off within the Pulse livestream.
While primarily intended to reproduce the original Action Master accessory, Hasbro designer Mark Maher intimated that the figure was also designed with a fourth mode in mind as a sort of "best of both worlds" of the prior two attempts at Black Zarak's Tyrant Spear, reproducing Black Roritchi's spear mode in Generation 1-accurate colors.[2]
