Title:
Cybershark Transmetal 1st
Description:
Cybershark (Transmetal 2 Mega Class, 1999)
Accessories: Twin launcher, 2 "Tracer Torpedo” missiles, left & right fin-blades
The first of only two Transmetal 2 Megas, this new incarnation of Cybershark transforms into a monstrous, mechanical-organic great white shark. The side-panels his pectoral fins attach to flip out to reveal a "flight mode”, and his tail has a gear system that spins his tailfins like a propeller when a wheel in his side is turned. He also has a double spring-loaded "Tracer Torpedo” missile launcher concealed in his shark mouth; lifting the top of his beast-mode head up will (theoretically) launch both missiles at once. In robot mode, the tail-spinning system becomes his right arm, forming a "Spin-Drive Tail” claw weapon. His mouth-missile launcher separates and can be held in his right hand, though his sideways-oriented first makes for a rather awkward aim. His pectoral fins can also detach and become hand-held blades, but again, awkward thanks to his fist.
Many of his ball-jointed parts are prone to popping off, particularly during transformation, and he is definitely on the shellformery end of the transformation spectrum.
This toy’s packaging featured a character quote in the bio profile — the first time this popular feature had returned to the packaging since the end of the Generation 2 toyline four years earlier.
This mold was also used to make Sky-Byte.
