Frankenstein's monster
From Transformers Wiki
Frankenstein's monster is a monster brought to life by Doctor Frankenstein. In some realities where he is a robot constructed from desecrated Cybertronian corpses, this frightening mishmash of spare parts instead goes by the name Frankentron.

- Voice actor: Peter Cullen (English)
While Spike recovered from a serious operation, one that left his mind in the body of Autobot X, he watched a movie on Teletraan I. The movie featured an inanimate being made of mis-matching parts and an evil brain. A hunched creature begged the creator of the behemoth, Dr. Frankenstein, not to reanimate the grotesque parody of life. The Doctor, however, thought that the creature would be grateful for the giant and powerful body given to him and vivified the monster. As it started to growl, the voice of the hunchback shrieked at Frankenstein that he had created a monster. Autobot Spike
The monster was one of the creatures conjured up by Daniel Witwicky's dreams, and used by the Quintessons to menace Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, Springer, and the Predacons. Nightmare Planet

- Collaborative Frankentron is a retool of Siege Impactor, transforming into a Cybertronian tank. In place of Impactor's gun, he comes with a large Tesla coil, which can be plugged into his vehicle mode turret to create a fantasy lightning gun. As this is a crossover with Universal Studios, the toy is specifically meant to call back to the 1931 Frankenstein film. Among its remolded parts, Frankentron's new hands are in a default horizontal position, and the package art makes clear this is meant to represent the movie monster's arms-out staggering posture.
- Like Draculus, his box is designed to resemble a VHS case, with an inner slide out portion resembling a VHS tape. The inner tape "labels" and backing the figure is attached to has a message written in Ancient Autobot that translates to "Its alive" [sic].
- Frankentron was exclusive to Amazon.com, with small quantities available on Hasbro Pulse.
