Title:
Blades 3rd Robot Mode Missing Blades,Missiles And Accessories
Description:
Autobot Blades (Voyager Class, 2008)
Series: Universe 2.0
Accessories: 2 missiles, rotor blades, Cyber Key
Part of the second wave of 2008 Universe Voyager Class toys, "Autobot Blades” is a redeco of Cybertron Evac, transforming into a Eurocopter Dauphin rescue helicopter. Printed in very small print around his Autobot symbol (which in turn is integrated into an "Autobot Coastal Rescue” logo) is the Latin phrase "semper referemus” (roughly translated as "We will always bring them back”).
He features numerous gimmicks: His rotor blades spin using a geared push-button, and become a spinning-blade weapon mounted on his robot mode’s left arm. He has an adjustable tow-hook on a string, which retracts with the push of a button: this gimmick ends up on his right robot mode arm. Inserting a Cyber Key into his back end (backpack in robot mode) swings around a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers that double as the helicopter’s engine exhausts when not deployed (or loaded with missiles). Finally, his hands are compatible with 5 mm posts. He comes with a clear Cybertron-style Cyber Key with silver paint and a red Autobot symbol, which doesn’t match his packaging stock photography.
Joe Kyde originally did a deco sheet (based on a real Coast Guard color scheme for the Dauphin) for an Evac redeco in the 2007 movie toyline. However, this was replaced in the toyline by Transformers Evac, a retool of Blackout. Bill Rawley later utilized the unused deco sheet as the starting point for Universe Blades, which is why the color layout isn’t accurate to Blades’s classic appearance.
This mold was also used to make Universe Springer and Timelines/Shattered Glass Galvatron.
