Title:
Orion Pax Vehicle Mode
Description:
Orion Pax (Deluxe Class, 2013)
Series / Number: 02 / #002
Accessories: Ion Blaster, Energon Axe
Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards Generations Deluxe Class toys, Thrilling 30 Orion Pax is a new mold with a robot mode inspired by Guido Guidi’s design for the character, originally seen in Spotlight: Blurr. Some liberties have been taken with the original concept to facilitate his truck mode, which is a new design not based on the Guidi art. He comes with his Ion Blaster and an Energon Axe with a transparent red-orange blade, both of which can peg onto 5 mm ports on his hands and vehicle rear sides. Although not depicted on the instructions, the Ion Blaster can also peg into the hole in the larger blade of the Energon Axe. Even though the light-piping eyes are neutered by light blue paint, the side grooves are still able to light up as the paint only focuses on the central optic.The American release is packed in with a copy of IDW’s Spotlight: Orion Pax, which sports a ’Hasbro Exclusive Cover’ cropped from the Clayton Crain retailer incentive cover for the issue. In Europe and Canada, the figure was released without the Spotlight.Since the hilt of the Energon axe is painted, inserting it onto any hand may cause it to scratch off.Most of the first-wave Orion Pax toys released in monolingual English packaging sport a bizarre error: The character art on the side of the cardboard insert inside the blister bubble has the character art of Orion’s wave-mate Megatron superimposed over Orion’s own art. This error doesn’t appear on the European packaging.The toy was later recolored and retooled to make Timelines Lio Convoy, Nova Prime, and Galva Convoy. The mold was designed with a pre-tooled Kup alternate head that remains unused.
