Orbital Assault Carrier

The Orbital Assault Carriers are mass-produced Decepticon starships from the Dark of the Moon portion of the live-action continuity family.

Orbital Assault Carriers were used to give the Decepticons controlling Chicago air superiority. They have multiple configurations, presumably for different roles.

They get stolen. A lot.

A brand-new Cyberverse Legion-class mold, Starscream comes with an “Assault Craft” similar to the kind the Decepticons use in the film. It can convert into a “Battle Station” for Starscream to stand or sit on, and a “Space Cruiser” for Starscream’s jet mode to rest on. There are molded wheels on Starscream to nestle into the groves on top of the carrier. Sadly, a cavity on the back keeps multiple planes from being able to rest on it. All three modes sit on small wheels, and there is an additional platform below for Starscream to rest on in jet mode, although he has to face backwards.

Several MechTech ports are available on the craft, and the removable missile launcher has a handle for it to be held by smaller Cyberverse figures as well as a 5mm post for it to attach to larger figures. There are also several C joint bars on the engines, plus one clip on the right side for connecting to other playsets.

There is an included cardboard backdrop for display, depicting Chicago under siege.
