TFClub
Structor is a third party Transformer and an homage to the Constructicon Scrapper. He combines with the other toys in his line to form Hercules, an homage to Devastator. He is the third member of the group to be released.
Structor has high strength, intelligence and skill. He has below average speed and firepower. He is the highest ranking Hercules team member.
Other third party Transformer Scrapper homages include Maketoys Wheel Loader.
Development
The project that would become Hercules was first teased as EX-004 with an outline picture in October of 2009.[1]
Prototype photos of Structor released on the internet compared him to a leg of the Star Cats combiner.
Structor was previewed at the Third Party Panel at TFcon 2011.[2]
In March of 2012 a poll was held on behalf of TFClub on the TFW2005 forums asking what the recolor of Hercules should be. The winner was "Shattered Glass".[3]
In August of 2012, TFClub displayed the first example of a Shattered Glass inspired Hercules recolor called Perses.[4]
