Iaconus Archives - Big Angry Trev!

And thus the great cataloging of my collection continues.

Transformers Cyberverse got off to a slow start. Not a great amount of toys and most of those either Warrior-class or 1-step changers. Also the cartoon was pretty lackluster, it seemed that, like the comics, it was the ‘Bumblebee & Windblade Show’ – two characters definetely overused in recent years.

Then in the second year Cyberverse really took off! Better toys, way better cartoon and a much bigger range of characters in both. Also Cyberverse brought back a something that had been missing from Transformers for a long time – humour! Some of those cartoon episodes were genuinely funny, such as Wheeljack magnetizing an energon-infused Grimlock or Grimlock & Arcee standing on the prow of The Ark blasting asteroids with gattling guns while laughing their heads off!

Yes, like Robots in Disguise (15) Cyberverse is probably not the favorite iteration of Transformers for many fans, but seasons 2 to 4 were great fun and we got some cool figures – even our first official Scraplet!

Transformers Collection – Animated

Titans are becoming a larger (no pun intended) part of Transformers lore. However for the most part they have remained in the Generation One universe with its associated comics and toylines.

Cyberverse became surprisingly popular as the cartoon progressed through the seasons, it was a very G1’esque universe, and indeed featured two brand new Titan characters – Croaton and Iaconus.

Iaconus was actually a pretty cool character – a War Titan under the command of Alchemist Prime (MacAddams) he was responsible for smashing a lot of alien planets, before going dormant back on Cybertron. The city of Iacon was built on top of him and the only part of him that remained above the surface got turned by Alchemist Prime into MacAddams Old Oil House.

Well this Titan has managed to get a figure in before the Cyberverse line comes to an end. So lets have a look at Ultimate Class Iaconus.

Robot Mode

Pretty big and impressive. Lots of plastic detail in the shins and shoulders to show his city origin and overall pretty faithful to the cartoon. Colour scheme works quite well too. However his articulation is severely limited, hampered by his various built in gimmicks so his poseability is limited to his arms and how you affix his sword and shield.

One of these aforementioned gimmicks is the flip-over armor. This makes his head (in shape if not colour) resemble how he looked in the cartoon.

City Mode

‘Errr… I’m a sort of Turtle-Base that flies backwards through space?’

I hate to say it, I really hate to say it, but what a pile of shit! OK, he had a pretty basic city mode in the cartoon, just a sorta nondescript squat green base, but this still looks worse.

There is stuff here that makes no sense! Why are there thrusters on the front? Does he fly backwards through space? Why are the wings and turbines underneath instead of on the sides or top? Frankly it looks a mess, like one of those stupid half-transformation toys that came out in earlier waves of the Cyberverse toyline. This mode has almost no play value except for the spring gimmick that makes him transform automatically back into robot mode.

Worth Getting?

I got this figure on sale for only $30(AU) and to be honest despite his big size, big weapons and multiple gimmicks I have trouble justifying even that price. He has almost zero articulation, his transformation is simplistic and crap and his alt-mode is one of the most awful I’ve ever seen. Seriously, those thruster’s on the front of the city mode instead of the back really piss me off. So unless you are a diehard Cyberverse or Titans fan, or this is for a younger fan, this figure is an easy pass.
