Antron was designed by California R&D for Mego. The figure was depicted with a gun similar to the one eventually released with Repto and shield similar to those eventually released with Centaurus.

According to Bryan Wilkinson on Facebook the colors of the black and purple Palisades Centaurus were modeled after the Terraphant. He said he sees that figure as manning the gunner turret on Terraphant.
