Title:
Transformers: Draculus X Monsters Dracula
Description:
Draculus (November 28, 2021)
Accessories: Cape, blaster, Impaler Claw[1]
The ninth figure released in the Collaborative line, Draculus is a retool of Titans Return Mindwipe and transforms into a robotic bat. With a sculpted tuxedo, soft-goods cape, and largely black-and-white deco in his robot mode, Draculus is specifically meant to represent Bela Lugosi’s portrayal of Dracula from the 1931 Universal Studios horror film of the same name. The new head and torso-front replace the Headmaster-style transformation of the base mold, so his head does not need to be removed during transformation. While he does retain Mindwipe’s cockpit, the interior is remolded, preventing a Titan Master from being able to sit inside. The figure’s newly-tooled hands in robot mode are modelled after the open hand molds of Studio Series Scourge (left hand) and the Sweep (right hand). His bat mode’s head, the tip of the wings, and the fake wings in robot mode use softer plastic. The cracking wing hinges issue IS carried over from the original toy, so caution is advised.
The two weapons redecoed from Mindwipe can still combine, and they can attach as a tail in bat mode when pegged into the 5mm hole under Dracula’s head. The melee-like weapon with a flip-out blade is named the ”Impaler Claw”, which references the popular ”Vlad the Impaler” nickname of Vlad III, inspiration for the literary Dracula. Draculus also includes a cloth cape that can be worn in both modes. Hasbro stock photography (right) incorrectly uses the cape in bat mode, as it is supposed to fill out his silhouette when the wings are detached from the body, as seen on the packaging. Anecdotally, Draculus’ cape can survive machine washing.
The packaging for this figure is designed to resemble a VHS tape.
Draculus was a Target and Hasbro Pulse exclusive in the U.S., and also Hasbro Pulse in the U.K. and Canada.
Draculus was also a Mighty Ape exclusive in New Zealand.
This mold was also used to make Convobat.
