Landquake (Timelines)
| This article is about the Timelines-series Decepticon. For the Energon-series Autobot, see Landquake (Energon). |
Landquake is a Decepticon from a Timelines addition to the Unicron Trilogy.
An energon refinement specialist, Landquake longs for a greater destiny. When Megatron began to raid Mini-Con villages in his bid for power, Landquake left his job at the Kalis refineries to join the Decepticon army. However, Landquake soon became disenchanted with his lot, realizing that Megatron's true goals were purely solipsistic, and that the Decepticons lacked the strict military order he craved. As such, Landquake has become bored with being a Decepticon.
Centuries of studying energon have made Landquake extremely adept in its use. Immune to the dangerous radiation of raw energon, he is able to store refine it in the same manner as the Omnicons and Terrorcons, forging powerful weapons or using it to power his multitude of built-in offensive systems.

Timelines
- Landquake (Basic, 2006)
- A redeco of the Energon Blight/Kickback mold, Landquake transforms into an anti-aircraft tank similar to a Gepard. He has a clear-red energon chip that can attach to most Energon-series toy molds. He can also form the arm or leg to any combination of Energon combiner team super robot, but as of this time the super robot he belongs to has not been revealed.
- Landquake is an exclusive to the Fun Publications Transformers Collectors' Club, given as an "incentive" freebie to members who had purchased a club membership before April '06 (but since April '05). He is also available for normal sale through Fun Publications' web store.
- Landquake was originally intended to have a retooled robot head. However, the Chinese factories that manufactured the new parts for the BotCon 2005's "Descent Into Evil" set had insisted on using a grade of steel for the molds that was prohibitively expensive; so while they went ahead with the convention toys' new molds to get them done for the show, for a toy that would largely be given away free, it was deemed unworkable. At this time, it is unknown if the issue has been resolved, letting future "membership freebie" toys have new-mold parts.
