Countdown

Description:
Autobot Countdown (Ultra Class, 2009)

Series: Universe 2.0

Accessories: Large missile, projectile, shield/multi-tool arm, hammer tool, claw tool, opaque grey Earth-style Cyber Key

A redeco of Cybertron Cybertron Defense Red Alert, Universe Countdown transforms into a vehicle based upon a cross between a Russian R-400 Oka mobile ballistic missile launcher and a BTR-90 armoured personnel carrier, colored mostly blue with a white and grey rocket as an homage to the Rocket Base that came with his original figure. The left side of his vehicle mode has a flip-up non-firing double-blaster, which can also be "used” in robot mode. Inserting a Cyber Key into the rear of the missile rack splits the missile open, activates lights and an electronic beeping sound, and exposes the inner spring-loaded projectile-launching translucent "laser cannon”. When the missile itself is "launched"/slid off, it lights up and plays a sound of it taking off.
In robot mode, he is mostly red and white, a clear homage to his original Micromaster figure. He comes with a shield that can be mounted on either arm. When a Key is inserted into the top of the shield, a cannon flips out, and its barrel tip can be equipped with several tools stored in his shins (a spring-loaded hammer-head or a gripping claw). He has two (nonfunctional) Mini-Con hardpoints in vehicle mode, and two different hardpoints in robot mode.
Countdown and his casemate Darkwind were "stealth” exclusives to Toys"R"Us, meaning they appeared in stores before Hasbro officially acknowledged their existence.
This mold was also retooled to make Timelines Darksyde Megatron.
