Excellion (Cybertron)
Excellion is an Autobot from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
A brooding loner, Excellion has won more respect from the Decepticons than he has the Autobots. He has won this respect by successfully infiltrating their base completely unseen on more than one occasion. His attitude has estranged him from his Autobot peers.
(Note: It is unknown if Excellion is from Velocitron or Cybertron. He comes with a Velocitron Key and his packaging has the Speed Planet sign, but a great many Transformers in the Cybertron series have Keys and packaging not of their actual planet of origin. His lack of clear-plastic tires also seems to point to a non-Velocitron origin.)
Toys
Cybertron
- Excellion (Deluxe class, 2006)
- Excellion is a redeco of Cybertron Hot Shot, now cast in red and orange with translucent blue. He is an homage to Generation 1 Hot Rod based on a Japanese DVD-exclusive version of the toy, and uses the Japanese name for Cybertron Hot Shot with slight change in spelling from Exillion to Excellion.
Attacktix
Excellion is also part of the Attacktix battle game series, a redeco of the missile-firing Cybertron Hot Shot piece.
(Note: At the time of this writing, the Transformers Attacktix series has not been released at retail.)
Legends of Cybertron
A redeco of Legends of Cybertron Hot Shot uses Excellion's exact coloration and paint scheme; however, the toy is not actually labelled "Excellion", merely "Hot Shot". The reason for this is unclear.
