Title:
Liftor with Smokescreen 1st
Description:
Smokescreen with Liftor (Super-Con, 2003)
Takara ID number: MC-04
Takara release date: December 26, 2002
Liftor transforms into a Cybertronic heavy-lifting vehicle that looks like something out of Mad Max. His forklift/ram-scoop assembly is jointed to lift up in vehicle mode. As a Mini-con, he has a "Powerlinx” socket on his vehicle-mode underside (which ends up on his robot-mode chest) which allows him to attach to any toy with a "Powerlinx” style 5 mm post; some toys have special Powerlinx posts that activate/unlock gimmicks when a Mini-Con is attached.
In robot mode, Liftor has a surprising amount of articulation for a Mini-Con, with shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and even a neck joint, putting him on par with most of his line’s Deluxe figures (and better than some).
He was only available packed in with his larger partner Smokescreen, released in the second wave of Armada Super-Cons.
Unusually for this line, there are no notable differences between the Hasbro Armada Liftor and Takara Legend of the Microns "Lift” toys.
