Title:
Stockade Robot Mode
Description:
Stockade (Deluxe Class, 2008)
TakaraTomy ID number: MD-23
Accessories: AllSpark cube (TakaraTomy release only)
As part of the "All Spark Power” portion of the 2007 movie toyline, Stockade transforms into a Sector Seven-outfitted Cadillac Escalade SUV. His main gimmick is not automorphing, but a gear-driven punch activated by pulling back on the luggage bar on either forearm. Unusual for a deluxe figure, he features some finger articulation! For whatever reason, his chestplate is removable.On some early samples, the windshield halves in front of both hands pop off easily. This is due partly to the unusually soft plastic, which does not grip at the joints very well. Another issue is the pin-hinged ankles, which only barely support the toy’s weight. However, later versions don’t display either of these problems.Like all Japanese "Allspark Power” toys, the TakaraTomy version of Stockade comes with a small AllSpark cube accessory that’s not included with the Hasbro version. Stockade himself appears to be no different.Stockade was redecoed into Revenge of the Fallen Autobot Gears. This mold also inspired the comic-only character Rapidfire.
Notes
Although Stockade bears Sector 7 markings, his alt-mode does not match the SUVs used by Sector 7 itself. Rather, he is a Cadillac Escalade like the one that came to life during the battle in Mission City. Due to his comic backstory presenting him as a Transformer who was born on Cybertron, it seems clear they are NOT the same robot.Obviously, Stockade is slightly different in Titan’s comics compared to other fiction. Er, chalk it up to alternate timelines...
