BIO
"Darksteel is a traditionalist. As a student of some of the most respected Decepticon warriors on Cybertron, he learned there is no substitute for a razor-sharp blade and clever mind. Blasters and cannons get the job done, but may fail in the heat of battle. The blade never falters".
Toys
- Dark Steel (Deluxe, 2011)
- Accessories: Mechtech Blasters/Blades.
Darksteel is a retooling of the Deluxe Dark of the Moon Sideswipe with a new head sculpt and the color scheme resembling Beast Wars Quickstrike. He is gun-metal grey with blue flames painted on the hood, and he now has a red windscreen. His MECHTECH weapon is reminiscent of his Beast Wars namesake- that of venomous 'fangs' protruding ready to strike his enemies; and is a retool of Deluxe Starscream's weapons.
