Legacy
- Infernac Universe Geocron (Core Class, 2024)
- Accessories: Cowling/rock blade
- Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Takio Ejima (Takara Tomy)[2]
- Part of the third and final wave of 2024 Legacy: United Core Class toys, Geocron is a redeco and alternate head retooling of Infernac Universe Bouldercrash, transforming into a rocky three-wheeled motorcycle. Their cowling becomes a large blade-weapon they can hold in robot mode. Geocron can also transform into a bladed weapon that can be held by other figures, simply by flipping out their weapon's blade while leaving the cowling in place (the 5 mm post handle is already securely sticking out of the bike mode's back end, no adjustment necessary).
- This figure was revealed by designer Evan Brooks via his social media account on June 12, as a part of daily product reveals hosted by the Transformers design team, with pre-orders going up on June 13.[3]
Notes
- While Legacy design lead Mark Maher had previously cited the rock monsters from the planet Daira in the Transformers: The Headmasters episode "My Friend Sixshot!" as inspiration for the Armorizers overall, Geocron and fellow Legacy: United tail ender Calcitron take it one step further with head sculpts ripped straight off the screen.[4]
