- A redeco of the Generation 1 Decepticon Predator Skyquake, King Atlas transforms into a large bomber jet, its model pretty much made-up but based (loosely) on the Blackbird recon plane. Like the other US release of this mold, Machine Wars Starscream, it lacks the original spring-loaded missile launcher hand-weapon due to there being no way in hell it would pass US safety testing. It does retain the "carpet bombing" gimmick in its wings, plus the light-pipe and "periscope" gimmicks.
Notes
- Hasbro Transformers Design Director Aaron Archer said that this figure was deliberately colored to resemble Dai Atlas.
