Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

In Aurex 1104.30-DB Zeta, Ro-Tor's team was born from Dr. Brian Jones's attempts at reverse-engineering Maximus combiner technology and applying it to Mini-Con anatomy. Superion, Defensor, and Rail Racer fought Devastator in the Combiner Wars during the Unicron Singularity crisis. Ask Vector Prime, 13 July 2015

Toys

Universe (2003)

• Ro-Tor (MicroMaster Aerialbot, 2007)

• Series: IV
• Number: 1 of 6
• Accessories: Rotor blade, Superion torso

Universe Ro-Tor is a redeco of the Operation Combination Sixwing component Chain Gun, transforming into an AH-64 Apache helicopter. He forms the back end of the Aerialbots' combined mode Superion, though he can also be swapped with Air Raid to form the super robot's chest.

Though the Micromaster Aerialbots were created as KB Toys exclusives, they barely showed up in the ever-shrinking chain. They saw more general release in Europe, and in the US eventually showed up at other chains like CVS drug stores and Big Lots!.

Notes

• In an interesting and presumably unintentional precedent, Ro-Tor's presence as a helicopter on a team of Generation 1 Aerialbot names did precipitate the introduction of Alpha Bravo in the Combiner Wars line nearly a decade later.
