Title:
Transformers WFC Earthrise Quintesson Allicon With Bailiff Head
Description:
Loose
Quintesson Allicon (Deluxe Class, 2020)
Hasbro ID Number: WFC-E19
TakaraTomy ID number: ER EX-07
TakaraTomy release date: August 29, 2020
Accessories: Spear, blade
Released in the second wave of the Earthrise Deluxe Class lineup, this ”Quintesson Allicon” converts into a humanoid crocodilian beast mode in 14 steps. He has two different weapons: a spear modeled after the one used in ”The Killing Jar” that can also tab onto his back for storage, and a curved blade made from the inner part of his tail.
In robot mode, this figure is relatively short for a Deluxe Class toy, but is very solidly built with only the backs of his legs being hollow. Those hollow areas allow the Allicon to compress his legs a decent amount, allowing him to assume a more hunched stance when transformed. On that note, he features an autotransformation gimmick: when transforming from alligator mode to robot mode, folding his alligator head and tail back will automatically cause his robot mode head to rise up into position. However, when converting from robot mode to alligator mode, his robot mode head must be pushed down into its storage position manually.
The CG render of the beast mode is slightly mistransformed: the robot mode arms are not pegged into the figure’s torso, which, in turn, tilts the beast mode arms outward. Initial stock photos provided by TakaraTomy depicted the figure being partially cast with pink and light violet parts instead of shades of gray, but subsequent stock photos showed the figure in colors nearly identical to the ones seen in the render, with the only differences being the gray parts of the shins and the backplate being blue while the blue parts of the beast mode head and its teeth are tan instead. The final figure’s color scheme is almost identical to the stock render, but with sand-colored teeth. Inexplicably, the render on the back of the box has been recolored to match the original TakaraTomy stock photos.
Like most Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of the Allicon’s package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map, along with a translucent red ”decoder”. The Allicon’s piece contains the labeled location of GIGANTION. Like most Earthrise figures from Wave 2, however, it is misprinted, and overlays the ”decodable” red graphics from the map piece included with Earthrise Hoist on top of the details unique to the Allicon’s piece.
In Japan, the Quintesson Allicon was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. This mold was retooled to make the War for Cybertron Trilogy Quintesson Bailiff.
The script for the movie originally called for the Allicons’ scene to feature Sharkticons, but we got these critters instead. They were indeed Sharkticons in the first comic adaptation. Neither in this scene, nor in any of their reappearances during the series were they referred to by name—the script for ”The Killing Jar” identified them only as ”Quintesson Guards”. Fans online had generally taken to calling them ”Allicons”, which was finally made canon in Dreamwave’s 2004 More Than Meets The Eye series.
Thanks to ”The Killing Jar”, an Allicon’s beast mode was the first official use of the term ”alternate mode”.
