Transformers Attacktix Series 1 Spoilers - Decepticlone

DECEPTICLONE
#TF1-03



ATTACKTIX CLASS: Trooper
TRANSFORMERS CLASS: Decepticon
POINT VALUE: 10
BASE SPEED: 4
BASE: Small
SPECIAL POWER: Attackback (Decepticon)
ATTACK TYPE: Shooter (Small Missile)

In the Transformers video game, Megatron rules Cybertron with his army of Decepticlones, a massive mindless drone army. This is the perfect Attacktix troop builder, but an unusual choice since it is ONLY found in the video game. However, this shows that Hasbro has no problem mixing figures (Generation 1?)!Never the less, they look very nice and have all the standard powers we woudl expect from a 10 Point Trooper. They are designed to work well with Decepticons, allowing a free attack for a shooter or a striker.

Be sure to check out Web of Webhead for Star Wars Attacktix Series 4 Spoilers - featuring Endor Scout and Han Solo (in Endor Gear)!

What's up with "Base Speed". Starting with these new sets, Attacktix figures have a new movement tracker. Instead of a printed number on the base, the figure speed is shown in the top window. Instead of just flipping from red to black, the window now shows the figures speed alternating between red and white text. All figures will have a base speed in line with previous figures, but speed dials can have "sweet spots" with an extra 'Tix of speed, or "weak spots" with a 'Tix less of speed.
