Shard is an Armorizer from the Infernac Universe by way of the Legacy: United toyline.
She's not a rock! She's a rock copter!

Shard is made of death crystals from the planet Dread!<ref name="Fanstream">March 21, 2024's Hasbro Pulse | Transformers 40th Anniversary Fanstream | March 21, 2024 on YouTube, with Ben MacCrae, Mark Maher, and Evan Brooks.</ref> With double death crystal blades on each arm, she's one Rock Lady you'd better watch out for.

Toys

Legacy

"And we've got a Glimmora lead! Wow, I've never seen that before!"
  • Infernac Universe Shard (Deluxe, 2024)
  • TakaraTomy name: Shard (シャード)
  • TakaraTomy ID number: TL-74
  • TakaraTomy release date: 2024 October 26
  • Accessories: 2 turbine cannons, 4 rotor blades/swords
  • Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}<ref name = "Fanstream"/>
Released in the second wave of Legacy: United Deluxes, Shard transforms from rocky robot to a rocky helicopter. Her rotor blades separate from the main rotor to form hand-held swords (though they must be held sideways, as a tab prevents them from being held vertically), while the turbines become (non-firing) cannons.
As an Armorizer, Shard can also disassemble into a variety of rocky chunks, forming weapons and armor to attach to other figures via 5 mm post.
Her calf panels come detached and it isn't shown in the instructions where to attach them. It's on the calves.
Stock photography of the toy depicts a non-final color scheme lacking the bluish teal sections.

Notes

  • Shard is inspired by the Rock Lord Solitaire.<ref name="Fanstream"/> Seeing as Solitaire was a blue and white diamond rather than a green and yellow helicopter, though, the inspiration would appear to have been incredibly loose.
  • She was the subject of the initial pitch for the "Armorizer" gimmick as per her designer Mark Maher.<ref name="Fanstream"/>
  • An early name for her was "Ruinatia".<ref>https://www.instagram.com/stories/markclonus/3331892486131961925/</ref>

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Shard (シャード Shādo)
