• Doom 'n Destruction Collection 3-Pack (Multi-pack, 2024)

• Accessories: Handle/ gun, 2 blast effects

Legacy Malleus Minotaurus is a grey redeco of Siege Smashdown, transforming from grey robotic minotaur to a hammer that other toys can wield thanks to his 5 mm-wide handle. The hammer handle can be slotted into the inside of the left forearm (under the "main" arm) to give him a blaster rifle. Otherwise, the handle either sits unused... or stays awkwardly sticking out of the robot-mode butt as a very long tail.

Malleus Minotaurus comes with two clear blast effect parts: the first being a redeco of the original "Fire Blast" part to simulate smashing against objects, plus a new blast effect that simulates covering the end of either side in melted slag.

He was only available in a multi-pack along with Barrage and Chop Shop, as part of the Mayhem Attack Squad-themed "Doom ‘n Destruction Collection". These sets are an Amazon exclusive in the US, with a small number sold through Hasbro Pulse. This set was revealed and set up for preorder on February 29 2024, due to ship on August 1.
