Who are they??? 2nd Stop: Obliterator Pyro

This week's feature is Pyro from the European Obliterator series that was release back in 1992. Pyro transforms from a Carmichael Cobra airport crash truck into a robot (front half) and a gun emplacement featuring a six-barrel missile launcher which actually fires as one rotates the knob on the back. His sticker sheet notably includes several different windshield decals, each with the word "FIRE" in a different language. In robot mode he has fairly limited articulation as well as an Optimus Prime-looking headsculpt, which was the trend with Autobot leaders at the time.

Information gathered from TF wiki

Vehicle mode: Pyro is split into 2 half, red cab (front) and yellow cabin (back)


Pyro's gun which looks more like the fire engine's deluge gun can be mounted onto the front cab. The 6 turret missile launcher would be activated during battle. Back of the cabin opens up to transport injured Autobot to safety.


Base mode: Back cabin can be transform into a battle station having the same concept as Optimus Prime. It consist of a 5 turrent missile launcher and a control station.

Lets look at how Pyro transforms from a airport crash truck to the defensor of earth....


Front Cab makes up Pyro, this is quite similar to RID Fire convoy.



Robot mode: Many of Pyro's parts are transparent esp the eyes makes it
looks cool when the light source is behind his head.


Pyro comes with 3 modes; RobotPyro, Vechicle and Base mode.
Here you can see Pyro at his battle station
