I don't know if anybody remembers this Transformer, but then again they only made this toy in 1998-1999. Behold the Titanic-Bot Transformer! XD . This was the first transformers toy I have ever gotten in my life, even if he isn't an officially licensed transformer. Regardless, I had a lot of fun with this toy growing up, and kind of wished I still had this toy with me as strange as it sounds ;) . But after knowing what this Transformer was modelled after later on in life, I will say, despite it being based off a ship that had tragically sunk in the 1910s, it was in a way pretty funny to know that other than making a transformer out of the Titanic, they gave him two pickaxes as weapons XD . I don't know who was the designer of this toy that gave him the pickaxes, but whoever did was clever. Now those pesky icebergs won't get the better of the Titanic ever again ;) . In the end, Sho gave the Titanic Transformer a bit of a modern design, but still glad to see he now has laser pickaxes :D . And it made me think of a brief history for him.


"April 15, 1912. The Titanic has sunk to the bottom of the ocean, never to be seen again. More than 70 years later in 1985, a mysterious capsule landed on Earth, which contained a Protoform that had landed at the bottom of the ocean, right in-between the area the Titanic had split in half and now rested. The Nanotechnological liquidmetal emerged from the capsule, scanning the broken ship that was around it. It then fused itself together with the the remnants of the Titanic ship, joining it together to become whole once more, and making the ship its official body. The once destroyed and sunken Titanic had risen from its watery grave, as it then transformed into its robot form once it was near an iceberg, taking a step on it. Using parts of itself, the new Transformer crafted two weapons for itself; in the shapes of two laser pickaxes. Looking at the icebergs around it, a deep seething rage could be felt from within, wanting to do nothing more than to destroy any iceberg that was in front of it."Artwork by  ShoNuff44
