TFN Haul Roundup: TITANS RETURN Under-3

Once upon a long time ago, I ordered some custom Titan Master faceplates: Mainframe, my pride and joy Straxus, and the Maximals’ greatest hero.  And now, he’s complete!

Under-3 was originally a McDonald’s toy for the littlest tiniest babies.  Because it said “Under-3” on the baggy where his name should be, the online fandom treated that as if it were his name.  To Gen Xers, this is what is considered an hilarious joke.

It needed another layer for me – and we finally got one when an ineptly-written comic added the hilarious twist that the Happy Meal-original character called himself “Unit-3” after the rest of his squadron was killed in vague yet horrible circumstances.  Now that’s comedy.

I was finally able to finish Under-3 thanks to @sameasiteverwoz, who provided the Titans Return Sawback.  I think I overdid it with the robot mode paint, but the lion head is the main attraction here, so I don’t mind too much.

Dear, Vector Prime. Why is the Under-3 alternate mode lion's head? Wouldn't that be inconvenient for him?

Dear Cranial Champion,

I think Under-3 would balk at such a notion! You see, Under-3's head mode served his function of Cityspeaker. Unlike other holders of this title in other universes, Under-3 spoke not for a Titan, but for the entirety of Cybertropolis. Wired into the city's core network, his titanic brain module interpreted the constant flow of data, his head mode's mouth conveying the results to various leaders.

Indeed, Under-3 was a surprisingly non-partisan Maximal, rare at the time: his leonine shape chosen as open tribute to the ancient Predacon Razorclaw.

It is my understanding that Megatron became quite familiar with the Cybertropolis network: it is no coincidence that he also manifested as a titanic cranium.

My third of three customs isn’t finished yet, but once I can score a spare Titans Return Sawback, I’ll finally have a toy of the Maximals’ greatest hero.
