Fiction

Legends comic

On Weirdwolf's orders, Moguru encouraged Chromedome to embrace a peaceful lifestyle in order to weaken the Autobots' fighting strength. As part of the plan, he had Chromedome take up a hobby in the form of drawing dōjin and helped him create his first Robopara magazine. Weirdwolf made his move and attacked the Autobots when Chromedome was leaving to sell his product at a dōjin event, but Moguru had gotten attached to the art he'd helped make and offered to take Chromedome's place, freeing him up to defeat Weirdwolf. A noble move, but he ended up selling only two copies.

Available with the Legends Chromedome figure, Moguru is a redeco of Titans Return Nightbeat's accessory, in Chromedome's colors. Moguru transforms from a drill tank to a jet which Chromedome's Headmaster unit (or any other Titan Master/Headmaster figures) can ride on/combine with, and has a 5 mm post that folds out to become a weapon for larger figures.

Care must be taken with the gun mode's handle: the handle fits tightly in many 5mm-compatible closed hands, and combined with the handle's lack of metal pin running through the joint, removing it by force causes the handle to pop out of the joint.
