#deerstalker

so this post is just a small bit of lore of deerstalkers mask, which for is in shape of a deer's head, but also is only half deerskin the other half is human skin, after a few weeks after he murder his family he saw a decay deer with no skin and the body was left the meat was left to rot so he would followed foot steps of a hunter seeing the man at his camp, and invite him over to his cabin (was the families cabin but its just him) he was very persistent about it until the hunter final went with him and then Hartford tried to kill the man where the man called him many things like animal and before Hartford had chopped the guys head off with an axe he called him a monster which Hartford took very personally, because Hartford doesn't see himself as an evil man he "saved his family" so he took the hunters skin and the deer's coat to make his mask

which also kind of means the mask and when he puts it on, its like a separate persona, he acts like a psycho when he has it on because to him its gonna be the monster people are gonna see him as so he might as well show people that he can be that person

Before the Transformers toyline was released in the west by Hasbro, the toys were originally released by Japanese company Takara for the Diaclone toyline. This included the character of Ultra Magnus, who was initially released as Powered Convoy with a different paint job and additional play features that were removed from the Hasbro release. Now, decades later, one of those play features has been restored, and thus, a new character has been added.

This is Deerstalker, an Autobot who comes packaged with the new Missing Link Ultra Magnus toy, which is a 1:1 recreation of the original toy from 1986 re-engineered from the ground up with additional articulation, paintwork, and accessories. Deerstalker is based on the Powered Buggy that was previously packaged with the Powered Convoy set, given a blue repaint to match Ultra Magnus. Prior to this, the original red paint job had been established to exist in-universe as a seperate character named Powerdrive, who acted in service of his master Delta Magnus.
