Title:
Landquake
Description:
Landquake (Ultra, 2004)
Accessories: Trailer/gunnery station/backpack & gauntlets, missile
Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
A redeco of the Energon Landmine toy in white, brown, and blue, "The Powerlinx Battles” Landquake transforms into a Cybertronic half-track battlefield recovery vehicle. The front of the vehicle features a large plow, while the rear has a rotating crane with a working winch, as well as a spring-loaded missile launcher. The front half of the vehicle can separate from the tracked portion as a smaller truck cab, and can transform into the standard robot. The tracked portion can then be reconfigured into a "gunnery station” that Landquake’s robot mode can man. Most of the crane is detachable, possibly for safety reasons, as it doesn’t appear to attach anywhere else. Landquake sports a "mountain” logo that would subsequently be seen again on Cybertron Brushguard, although no particular meaning behind it has ever been indicated.
In his standard robot mode, Landquake has no weapons, but his 5mm fists can hold any Energon weapons or other weapons sporting a compatible peg system. In the dead center of his chest is his spark crystal, over which an energon star can be attached. As a red Powerlinx Autobot, Landquake cannot combine with any other Autobot except for the rear "trailer” half of his vehicle, forming his brute mode. The tracks, with their flip-out digger claws, mount on his arms, while the remaining portion forms a weapons backpack. Connecting the backpack to Landquake will depress a button which activates the classic Generation 1 transformation sound effect.
While this toy was not released in Japan, the Energon cartoon officially repurposed this figure as a powered up form for Landmine. This mold was also redecoed into Timelines Landshark.
