Title:
Incinerator 2nd Robot Mode
Description:
Incinerator (Voyager Class, 2008)
TakaraTomy ID number: MD-22
Part of the "AllSpark Power” portion of the 2007 movie line, Incinerator transforms into a Bell Helicopter Textron/Boeing Helicopters V-22 Osprey tiltrotor transport aircraft, based upon the CV-22 variant used by the US Air Force and featured in the film. The main differences between the toy and a real Osprey are the turboprop rotor engines, which are swapped and thus have the air intakes on the top/rear (depending on the engines’ position) instead of the bottom/front, and the addition of the AWACS-style radar dish on the tail section.
Pulling back the radar dish on the tail activates an extensive gear-train, which causes both rotors to rotate regardless of whatever position his wings/arms are in, though the rotors’ momentum wears off quickly. His Automorph feature opens up his canopy as his chest assembly is rotated downwards into robot mode and (in a lesser Automorph) pops out his pelvis once his legs are separated away from his vehicle underside.
The TakaraTomy version of Incinerator sports a different color scheme than the Hasbro counterpart, replacing the two shades of gray with a primarily black color (but retaining the purple and "Allspark Power” blue plastic colors). In addition, it also sports "0025” markings on the tail in an attempt to make the alternate mode more movie-accurate, though this aim is questionable given the Ospreys in the Movie weren’t black. Like all Japanese "Allspark Power” releases, "black” Incinerator comes with a small Allspark cube accessory.
Notes
Incinerator” was one of the many working names for fellow Decepticon helicopter Blackout.
Incinerator’s coloration and personality appear to be based on those of the Generation 1 Combaticon Vortex... which was yet another working name for Blackout.
Incinerator’s packaging art is curiously different from the actual toy’s head design, as the art sports large, round, Bumblebee-styled eyes that take up a large portion of the face, whereas the toy’s head sculpt sports a Jazz-type visor for eyes.
Incinerator’s appearance in IDW Publishing’s Alliance comic features a design that is strongly influenced by Revenge of the Fallen concept artist Ben Procter’s design for a transforming Osprey that would later become Springer.
Perhaps coincidentally, Incinerator’s death at the hands of Optimus Prime in Alliance is almost identical to how Optimus himself was later killed by Megatron in Revenge of the Fallen. Karma’s a bitch ain’t it?
SINCE THE END OF THE WAR AND THE DESTRUCTION OF MEGATRON, MORE AND MORE INDIVIDUAL DECEPTICONS HAVE SEEN APPEARING ON EARTH CHASING RUMORS THAT THEIR LEADER STILL LIVES. Mast CHOOSE TO REMAIN HIDDEN FROM THE AUTOBOTS WHO HAVE STAYED BEHIND TO DEFEND THE WORLD, BUT NOT INCINERATOR. HE’S ACTIVELY HUNTING ALLSPARK ENHANCED AUTOBOTS, REASONING THAT ONE OF THEM MUST KNOW WHERE MEGATRON IS. WHEN HE CATCHES AN AUTOBOT, INCINERATOR TAKES HIM ON A LITTLE RIDE, SWOOPING AND DIVING DANGEROUSLY, HOVERING OVER CANYONS AND VOLCANDES, AND GENERALLY TERRIFYING WHATEVER INFORMATION HE CAN OUT OF HIS VICTIM. WHEN HE’S DONE, HE JUST FINDS THE DEEPEST HOLE HE CAN AND DROPS HIS HELPLESS PREY IN.
