Title:
Darkmount Carded
Description:
Darkmount (Deluxe, 2010)
Accessories: Pick-axe/cannon, missile launcher, machine gun, smoke grenade launchers
Part of wave 2 of Generations, Darkmount ("Straxus” was unavailable) transforms into a half-tracked self-propelled artillery inspired by the South African G6 Rhino, as well as a tripod-mounted howitzer platform called a "battle station”.
In vehicle mode, the turret can rotate and the barrel can raise. Initially it was planned to have him interact with Scout Class figures who could man his "fortress mode”. The remainders of that idea are the otherwise pointless handlebars that end up on his knees in robot mode. In robot mode, the cannon barrel becomes his trademark pick-axe weapon, while his smaller weapons (featuring C joints) can clip onto various compatible rungs, bars and tubes sculpted onto the vehicle or robot. Despite his portly robot form, and his alternate half-track mode, his tech specs list his speed rank as 10.
"M17” is written on his vehicle mode, referencing "Marvel #17”, the comic issue in which Straxus first appeared. His head is designed with a light-piping feature but it is not utilized.
The mold was redecoed into Timelines/Shattered Glass The Bard of Darkmount and retooled into Generations Skullgrin.
