Collaborative Universal Monsters Frankenstein Frankentron Revealed

Ok yeah, he looks great and I’m OVERJOYED at another entry in the Universal Monsters line (Creature from the Black Lagoon next please!). But is it just me, or is it a MASSIVELY OBVIOUS that a Frankenstein bot should be a multi-pieces Weaponizer? Like you can swap parts, literally Frankenstein style. Will be getting this guy if I can, but I can’t help feel like we missed on something greater.

You are not alone. Truly a missed opportunity.

I'm guessing maybe a general tank 'former probably suited the bill for a big, lumbering monster that can do the whole "arms outstretched" look better than the Brunt mold due to the lack of proper hands?

I just noticed a nice touch on the new hands for Frankentron. The Impactor mold doesn't allow for wrist swivels, so they oriented the new hands 90 degrees different from Impactors hands so that you can to the Frankenstein pose with the arms outstreched and the palms facing downward.

I'm also thinking the Impactor mold was chosen becuase it is basically the tallest recent deluxe and should scale well with Draculus.

Franky-tron looks real nice! I like how he turned out, even if I am not big on him having Con symbols.

He will go great with Draculus!

Now, more monsters?

WHERE?

Looking at the tank mode.

Oh, LMAO!

It is a little strange that they decided the finishing touch on him is giving him one of the largest Decepticon symbols in franchise history. Maybe the ToyHax set will cover it up somehow.

The Transformers Frankentron figure is out at Toysrus stores in Singapore. The second Jurassic Park crossover set was also found there, the one with Dilophocon vs JP12. Regarding that set, it was also found in Canada at Toysrus. We have reviews for both of these figures below, enjoy!

Singapore sighting from Automorpher, Canadian sighting from me

TRU Canada. It's true as their selection is generally pretty good.

Only for pricier items and exclusives. Run I tge mill deluxes and voyagers aren't stocked much and most waves are skipped.

Very true. The online store can be hit and miss too.

I saw it immediately. But when even the Wiki says it, make that retool happen HasTak!!!

Wrong topic.
