Monstructor (G1)
Monstructor is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity
"Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Monstructor Vos wgah’nagl fthagn."
Beneath the gibbous moons of Cybertron, in the great dark spaces of the sunless void, far beyond the the realms of man‘s childish reachings, does the great dread Monstructor have his origin. A being that seems instinct with some fearful and unnatural malignancy, its form like a robot and a deep great shadow at once, his very presence is said to drain light and life from the world around him, feeding his ancient hunger. A palatable cloak of dread follows his movements, and the very sight of his summoning and formation has driven sane beings beyond the bounds of madness. All living things, mechanical or organic, decay and die at his mearest touch.
Monstructor is the channel for an evil beyond the darkest Decepticon imagination, and far beyond the puerile concerns of the insignificant beings who make up his composite form. He longs for the day, foretold in darkness, when he shall be split asunder no longer, and will rise one final time, free to travel the stars, from world to world, extinguishing all life sparks, ravening for delight.
Monstructor is the combined form of six Pretender Monsters:
Fiction
Toys
- Monstructor (1989)
- Monstructor is formed by combining all six Pretender Monsters. Much like the earlier Transformer combiner teams, he requires the attachment of seperate accessories, including his head, waist, fists and feet, complete his robot mode. As such, his articulation is limited to his shoulders moving up and down.
- Monstructor was the final Generation 1 combiner released by Hasbro.
- In Japan, Monstructor was repainted and the Pretender Monsters given new dinosaur-based Pretender shells. They were sold as Dinoking and the Dinoforce, respectively.
Trivia
- Monstructor is the only Genneration 1 Transformer toy to not have his own boxart.
