Space Case (DOTM)
| This article is about the Decepticon from Dark of the Moon. For the Decepticon from Generation 2, see Space Case (G2). |
- Space Case is a Decepticon from the Dark of the Moon portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
Space Case is pretty excitable. He thinks humans all look the same and that they're "fleshy and gross". He also underestimates how easy it might be for humans to use his peers' weaponry on him.
He's also fast. Extremely fast. In fact, that's the only reason he hasn't been defeated, as he has a mind that's on the fritz and hence is only slightly more intelligent than the average rock. He thinks he's survived all this time because of all the Cyberglyphs tattooed on his armor, but it's probably because he's just that fast, and fast targets are hard to hit. [1]
Fiction
IDW movie prequel comics
Transformers: RatchetTransformers: Starscream
Space Case and several other Decepticons were led to Philadelphia by Starscream, where Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee were harboring their escaped "pet", Brains. Space Case followed Brains to a human female. His attention was briefly averted from her when Sam hit him in the leg with a pipe, and she quickly returned the favor. Carly operated a weapon from one of the fallen Decepticons, blasting Space Case. Though Space Case wasn't destroyed, it did frazzle him enough to allow the two humans to escape. Rising Storm #3
Toys
Dark of the Moon
- Space Case (Deluxe, July 17 2011)
- Accessories: Trident
- A Target-exclusive retool of Terradive with a new head, Space Case transforms into a forward-swept wing fighter jet based on the Sukhoi Su-47. In robot mode, he is armed with a polearm weapon, which can transform between a trident and a spear and stores via C joint clip on his underside in jet mode, or on the back of his left shoulder in robot mode. (This clip is a bit of a reversal from the norm, as the clip is permanently attached to the robot, and the spear weapon is the 3mm bar.) As his jet thrusters swing around to become his hands, they can be left in vehicle configuration to simulate movie-style blasters. [2]
- As with the other Deluxe Target-exclusive "cyber tattoo" versions of Arcee, Bumblebee and Jazz cast out of clear plastic, Space Case is mostly cast in smoky, clear blue plastic and features Cyberglyphics tattooed on his forward-swept wings and his forearms/thrusters. He also comes with a small comic book about him.
Notes
- Space Case's appearance in the comic was a hint at the toy to be released, and not just a reuse of Terradive's character model.
