Title:
Clench 3rd With Galvatron (Robot Mode)
Description:
Galvatron with Clench (Giga-Con, 2003)
Takara ID number: MD-08
Takara release date: September ??, 2003
Available only with the larger Armada Galvatron toy, Clench is a redeco of Leader-1, transforming into a Cybertronic buggy with twin top-mounted blasters. As a Mini-Con, he has a "Powerlinx” socket on his vehicle-mode underside 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. Oddly, the central peg inside his Powerlinx socket is a separate piece of plastic from the rest of his torso, with a small "button” connected to it on his back. It is unclear what purpose this serves.
He also has three different "gun” configurations: one is a hand-held blaster (his right fist ends in a 5 mm post to serve as a handle), one is an "angled” blaster designed to fit in the flip-up tank-tread panel on Galvatron’s right shoulder, the other is supposed to go on the back of Galvatron’s main turret (and seemingly involves the aforementioned mini-button of uncertain purpose).
In the Takara Legends of the Microns line, the Clench deco (with very slight alterations) was used as Leader-1’s powered up form "Spark Barrel”, as seen in the Armada cartoon. You can of course use your Hasbro Clench as "Powerlinx Leader-1” if you wanna.
This mold was also used to make Caliburn, and was the basis for the new-mold Cybertron Mini-Con Drill Bit.
