Chip Chase finally gets bionic legs.

An Autobot Pretender under the command of Metalhawk, Lander has easily adapted to the human lifestyle, and greatly enjoys it. He collects wine, goes on dates with humans, and wears glasses just for the hell of it. What a guy!

In vehicle mode, he can travel over water and land with ease. In robot mode his right hand retracts to release knockout gas. Hmm.You'd better be careful, ladies.


Fiction

Masterforce cartoon

Voice actor: Ryoichi Tanaka (Japan)

This looks cool, but I owned the toy. It's not.

He loves cosplaying as a human!

Masterforce manga

Zone OAV

Metalhawk was seen among other High-ranking Autobots (such as Landcross, Road Caesar, Landcross, Grand Maximus, Masterforce, and the Autobot Godmasters) when Dai Atlas is sworn-in by Victory Saber as the new Supreme Commander of the Autobot forces.



Toys

Masterforce

  • Lander (Pretender, 1988)
Japanese ID number: C-200
Obesity, anorexia, and awkwardness all rolled into one
Available only as a mail-away piece in Japan, Lander is physically identical to the Hasbro Pretender Landmine. Lander's outer Pretender shell resembles a human in a yellow and gray armoured space suit (but lacks the glasses of the animation model, pooh), armed with a gray sword and a gray blaster rifle. The shell's helmet and front-half of the belt are also removable, used to help "lock" the shell-halves together. This shell has very limited articulation, located in his shoulders.

Lander's inner robot has good articulation for the period he was released in, owing to his relatively simple transformation and design. The robot transforms into a predominantly gray Cybertronic mining vehicle. The gray rifle can be stored on the top of this mode.

Trivia

Secretarymine
  • Lander's animation model shows up in the Armada cartoon as a "generic", unnamed Cybertron. He is seen carrying a "clipboard" of some kind and reacting to the Mini-Con beacon. He's also the only one in that shot seen clearly, the other three (Streetwise, Wide Load and Sixknight) all being seen only from the back and largely obscured. First Encounter Later, a differently-colored version appears as a field commander chafing under withdrawal orders. Drift
