In 2014's Transformers: Age of Extinction film, a nefarious company called KSI has manufactured their own Transformers by reverse engineering scavenged debris and downloading the consciousness of slain robots from the battlefields of the first three movies. Mixed into this melting pot was the consciousness of Megatron, who was resurrected as KSI's main weapon, Galvatron. In several scenes, Galvatron has taken control of other KSI Transformers and is controlling them like drones. Several of these only ever appear in vehicle form, that that is when Hasbro had the idea to take some unused concept designs for a character name Widowmaker and merge them with one of these background character (cars) retroactively. Whatever the convoluted origin, I am obsessed with this toy. She reminds me a bit of Marvel's Danger, with a dash of Shatter and the BM Blackarachnia mold. Her headsculpt and and color palette are unlike anything in my Transformers collection. Let's check her out below!
I forgot to take pictures of them on their own, but Widow comes with two gun accessories that clip onto her forearms. They can also stow away under her kibble "wings."
There are tons of design variations for the unused Widowmaker character.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
And here is a collection of my favorite cinematic Transformers Ladies:
