Flattop (G1)
From MediaWiki
| This article is about the Decepticon Micromaster. For the UK Autobot, see Flattop (Autobot). |
- Flattop is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Flattop's fantasies are of floating on a burning sea of fuel and charred Autobot remains. His days are spent flying sorties from his aircraft carrier, searching for targets (e.g., Autobots, fishing vessels, whales, fellow Decepticons he doesn't particularly like). When he finds one, he sets the carrier to attack on automatic, and then strafes from another direction. Ah, simple pleasures.[1]
- French-Canadian name: Platonix
Toys
Generation 1
- Flattop (Micromaster Transport, 1989)
- Accessories: 2 laser cannons
- Flattop transforms into a purple-and-gray F4 Phantom fighter jet. He has functional landing gear wheels in the rear, but has a peg in place of the front landing gear. Flattop is unusual for a Micromaster Transport in that his large accessory isn't a trailer, but a small aircraft carrier he does not connect to in any way in vehicle mode.
- The carrier vehicle transforms into an "interstellar jet"; Flattop can either clip into the cockpit area while standing or sit inside.
- This toy was released in Japan without changes as the Autobot Skywave.
