Cybertron Thrust vs. Anti-Blaze

*They both don't like big Transformers!*

Series: Cybertron
Year: 2005
Allegiance: Decepticon / Autobot
Class: Mini-Con 2-Pack

For Thrust and his mates on the Sky Terror Team there is no greater joy then to defy the laws of the Mini-Con Council of Sages. The peaceful Mini-Con colonies on the moons of Cybertron are more prison than home to Thrust, who thrives on chaos. The appearance of the black hole offered a rare opportunity for him. The Council of Sages´ refusal to ask the Autobots for help made it easy for him to sabotage the ships intended to evacuate the Mini-Con robots, leaving them all trapped on the increasingly dangerous colonies as the black hole grows ever more powerful.

Anti-Blaze, a junior member of the Mini-Con Council of Sages, was among those who argued most passionately against asking Optimus Prime and his Autobots for help. He felt that involvement with the larger Transformers had brought only grief to the Mini-Con race, though he now regrets his position. He has been forced to make the unpleasant transition from a relatively unknown political figure to a military leader at the front lines as he fights against Thrust and the other evil Mini-Con rebels.

Please be aware that this is not a review, as I have never had these figures in hand. The pictures were provided by my good buddy Flo and I have reviewed other versions of these toys, which are linked below for reference.

Remarks: To bolster the Cybertron line-up, five Mini-Con teams from the Armada days and one from Energon were taken from storage, given new colors, and paired off more or less at random into nine different vs-Packs. At the very least, though, all nine packs sported individual profile texts for all these Mini-Cons (see above), making for a rather fascinating micro-continuity with the Cybertron series. In this pack we have Thrust, repaint of Armada Jetstorm, and Anti-Blaze, repaint of Armada Firebot. Thrust combines with the rest of the Sky Terror Team into the mighty Chaos Saber, while Anti-Blaze, like the rest of the Council of Sages, has a third mode where he becomes a weapon.

See Sunstorm vs. Checkpoint and Ramjet vs. Scythe for the rest of the Deep Space Team and the Street Action Team.
