Signal Flare (Energon)
| This article is about the Energon-series Omnicon. For the live-action-movie-series Autobot, see Signal Flare (Movie). |
- Signal Flare is an Autobot-allied Omnicon in the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
Signal Flare is a craftsman; he loves spending his time carefully sculpting raw Energon into powerful weapons. He's considerably less interested in applying them to combat, though he's certainly no slouch in that department. Still, he'd rather leave the slice-and-dice to his feistier brother Offshoot.
He is very intelligent, and his ability to both detect and manipulate Energon in its various forms, be it solid, energy or gaseous, makes him an invaluable member of the Autobot forces.
Sometimes there are lots of him, other times he starts every statement with "CRZ!".

Toys
Energon
- Signal Flare (Basic, 2004)
- Japanese ID number: SC-12
- Accessories: Energon dish, 2 energon shields, Autobot-type Energon star
- Signal Flare transforms into a Cybertronic half-track MASER tank. Moving the MASER arm causes the dish on the end to spin. The dish can be combined with a pair of shields to form his Energy Cutter. The Japanese version of the toy uses a very different shade of tan, and has slightly different paint applications.
- The mold is also used by his brother Offshoot, and the live-action-movie-series Signal Flare. The Signal Flare/Offshoot body design is used as the model for the Attacktix Omnicon.
- Signal Flare USA Edition (Basic, 2004)
- Accessories: Energon dish, 2 energon shields, Autobot-type energon star
- In Japan, the Offshoot toy was made available as a Gamers store Exclusive, available only at the Tokyo Character Show 2004, sold as a new incarnation of the Signal Flare "character".
Universe
- Signal Flare (Basic, 2005)
- Accessories: Energon dish, 2 energon shields, Autobot-type energon star
- Signal Flare was repackaged on a Universe (2003 toyline)-themed card and sold through discount chains in the US like Big Lots!.
Trivia
- A MASER tank is a vehicle created in the Japanese Godzilla movie series. This would make Signal Flare's Terrorcon counterpart Cruellock, who is patterned on the 1998 American-movie version of Godzilla. MASER tanks never really worked all that well against whatever giant monster was stomping around each week.
- Development sketches from Aaron Archer reveal that part of the inspiration for Signal Flare's vehicle mode was the distinctively-shaped Cobra H.I.S.S. tank from the G.I. Joe toy line.
