Titans Return

• Chaos on Velocitron (Gift set, 2017)

A redeco and retool of Titans Return Hyperfire with a different robot mode "backpack" for the head mode face, Parsec transforms from a robot based on Generation 1 Stylor into Nautica's (visorless) head. As a Titan Master, Parsec can serve as the head of any Titans Return-style Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader Class figure. They also feature ports in their feet that allow them to peg onto a wide variety of Titans Return figures.

Parsec and Nautica were only available in the "Chaos on Velocitron" box set, which includes Quickswitch, Laser Prime, Fastclash, and a Rodimus Prime Titan Master head. The set was officially announced by Hasbro to be a Toys"R"Us exclusive, and was sold at stores in the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets (such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong). Despite this, it later became available via Amazon in the United States (but not in Canada) as well, actually sold by Amazon directly (as compared to a third-party seller).

Transformers Trading Card Game

• Parsec (2020)
  • Wave 5: Titan Masters Attack
  • Rarity: UT
  • Card Number: T33/T46
  • Stars: 1

Parsec is one of forty-six double sided character cards included in Wave 5 of the Transformers Trading Card Game, Titan Masters Attack. As a Titan Master, Parsec begins play in head mode on a character with a body mode. When that character is KO'd, Parsec is deployed in bot mode. In order to represent Parsec's size as a Titan Master, the card is the size of a battle card, about half the size of a normal character card.

Parsec features artwork for both modes, with line art by Ken Christiansen and colors by Portal Engine.

This card's set was originally set for an April 2020 release, however due to the global COVID-19 pandemic the release was pushed back to May 29, 2020.

Notes

• Parsec's name was not given anywhere on the materials included in the Chaos on Velocitron boxset, but instead, was revealed months later on the Trypticon's Titan Master Crunch poster given out at San Diego Comic-Con 2017.
