New Gallery: Transformers Collaborative Universal Monsters Frankenstein x FRANKENTRON

You had fun with this one!

They really need to make a wolfman. You can't just make two monsters. There has to be a minimum of three.

You KNOW the Invisible Man would be made entirely of clear plastic, though. That's a ticking time bomb. What would be the alt mode?

Creature is tough. Maybe from Crimsonflame? Turn the dragon hands into fins and rework the head and you got yourself a sea serpent.

For personal reasons I want to see the Phantom of the Opera. T30 Megatron would be ideal because I think a stealth bomber would work well.

Alot of effort went into coming up with the name Frankentron. Frank for short.

Happy Halloween from Seibertron.com! Just in time for the spookiest night of the year, our latest addition to the Transformers Collaborative galleries sinks its fangs into the lineup with Draculus!

The ninth figure released in the Collaborative line, Draculus is a retool of Titans Return Mindwipe and transforms into a robotic bat. This mash-up brings Universal’s 1931 Dracula to life through a sculpt that specifically captures Bela Lugosi’s iconic portrayal of the Count. His robot mode features a sculpted tuxedo, a soft-goods cape, and a black-and-white deco inspired by the classic black-and-white film.

Draculus includes a blaster, his "Impaler Claw" weapon, and a removable cloth cape that can be worn in both robot and bat modes. His new head and torso replace the Headmaster-style transformation of the original toy, so his head stays attached during transformation. The cockpit from Mindwipe remains, but the interior is remolded and no longer fits a Titan Master figure. His weapons can still combine, and they can attach as a tail in bat mode when pegged into the 5mm port under his head.

In true Collaborative fashion, even the packaging gets a horror twist. The box is designed to look like a VHS tape, complete with a slide-out sleeve that reveals the figure and insert artwork styled after an old video release.

Draculus was released in late 2021 and remains a fan-favorite among crossover collectors. You can find listings for him currently on eBay.

Be sure to check out Frankentron and our other Transformers Collaborative galleries for more unexpected mash-ups where worlds collide.

I still haven't gotten around to opening mine, and had no idea he could look that awesome loose. Great gallery!

Still, while I understand that leaving the Headmaster gimmick in would've posed too many questions that the X-over line didn't need, removing it seems like time, effort, and cost expended to de-mold a toy into something less awesome than it could've been (nowhere near as egregious as the de-limbification of Siege Chromia, but it still irks me). Because you could customize Titan-Masters with faces representing different actors that have played Dracula, unlocking limitless possibilities: Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Frank Langela (Shapeways has a Skeletor faceplate that could do double duty for him), hell, even a Count Floyd, to give him the vampire-howl ability!

Speaking of horror hosts, a Svengoolie fan even sent a Draculus in to his show, for a MeTV X-over!
