Title:
Undermine
Description:
Undermine (Scout Class, 2005)
Takara ID number: GD-08
Takara release date: March 17, 2005
Accessories: Tail-mace, Jungle Planet Cyber Key
Cyber Key Code: s48a
Known designers: Hirofumi Ichikawa (concept artist)
Cybertron Undermine transforms into a robotic Spinosaurus, albeit one with a sail that more resembles a fish’s dorsal fin. Plugging a Cyber Key into the back-end of his dino mode sail reveals a spring-out blade, a gimmick also usable in robot mode as a horn. His dino-tail detaches to form a flail-weapon in robot mode, which plugs into holes in the tops of his hand-claws.
The Hasbro and Takara versions of the toy have a pretty significant difference in their coloration. Takara’s Galaxy Force "Dino Shout” has a more vibrant light-green plastic, using pale camo-olive green plastic for the neck and tail. Hasbro’s Cybertron "Undermine” has a higher-contrast scheme, using a more subdued light-green plastic with a deeper forest-green neck and tail. Of course, Undermine’s Cyber Key also has a Cyber Key Code stamped on its back.
This sculpt was also used to make Cybertron Repugnus, and the toy in its original deco was rebranded as 2010 Transformers Undermine.
