Title:
Technobot Nosecone
Description:
• GEN132
• Nosecone (Technobot, 1987)
• Team ID number: TK2
• Takara ID number: C-87
• Accessories: X-ray laser pistol, 2 rocket-propelled missiles
The Transformers Nosecone transforms into a Cybertronic drill-tank. He has a pair of ”Rocket-Propelled” missiles that attach to his vehicle mode (though you can leave them off and give him a more low-riding vehicle form).
As a ”Scramble City”-style combiner, he can form any limb to any compatible super robot combination, but his nominal placement is as the left leg of Computron. This results in an off-centered foot, since Nosecone doesn’t have one peg hole in the center like most other Scramble City-style combiner limbs, but rather two holes left and right; the instructions show there was originally supposed to be a footplate with an off-center peg to compensate, but this did not make it to the final release. Nosecone is one of the very few Scramble City-style combiner limbs who, when used in their normal placement, faces backwards.
Towards the end of the Technobots’ production run, they not only lost their rubsigns, but lost the molded-in indents that said rubsigns went into. While the other Technobots had the indents completely smoothed out as if they never existed, Nosecone’s drill-topping block couldn’t really be eliminated so easily, so the indent was partially filled in with a raised grill pattern. There is also a packaging variant for all four small Technobots, which included a random bonus Autobot ”Decoy” mini-figurine.
