Blackjack
Description:
Decepticon Blackjack (Legends Class, 2015)
Accessories: Axe/breastplate
Blackjack is part of wave two of Combiner Wars Legends Class toys and is a new-mold figure which transforms from a black sports car to robot and back! He and his axe can plug into the chest of Menasor, taking the place of the Generation 1 roller car. Despite the fact his axe strongly resembles a sword guard, it cannot combine with Motormaster’s sword. The toy was originally intended to be released as the Battlecharger Runabout, and is noticeably sculpted to resemble that character.The reasons for the change to Blackjack are unknown, but are likely some combination of name unavailability and a desire for a more colorful toy. Blackjack includes a collector card featuring his package art.
A common problem reported with Blackjack is that despite being purposely made to mount onto Menasor’s chest (and by mold association, those of Combiner Wars Optimus Prime), the pegs featured on Motormaster used to hold Blackjack in place are often too small to actually keep him attached, causing him to fall off with no resistance. Battle Core Prime and a running change version of Hasbro’s Motormaster, as well as all Takara usages of the mold, featured slightly retooled posts to fix this connection issue, among other problems.
The mold was later retooled into Combiner Wars Rodimus, and redecoed into Adventure Runabout and Runamuck.
