• Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce (Multi-pack, 2019)
  • ID number: WFC-S26
  • Hidden message code: GRANDRAIN
  • Accessories: Cannon, "Fire Blast effect"

Part of the Siege "Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce" set, Trenchfoot is a redeco of Caliburst (who is a redeco of Blowpipe with a new "Fire Blast") in a red/black deco. He can transform into a "Foxhole Counterblast Cannon" that can be held by any compatible toy via 5 mm post. As a part of the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, he includes a "Fire Blast" effect piece that can be used to simulate his blaster mode firing, and can slot onto the various hardpoints found on other figures and weaponry from the same subline to simulate blaster fire or explosions. The outer peg of the effect part can also attach to 5 mm ports. The actual gun barrel piece can detach from the back, revealing a 3 mm peg, and connect to his arm as a cannon. Due to the gun barrel piece's size, attaching a "Fire Blast" effect to it while he's wielding it in this manner will render the figure too unstable to stand.

This set is paired up with the "Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron". A preliminary/placeholder name for this pack was "Firestormer Battle Pack", which showed up in several online listings, and also on Hasbro shipping cases for the set. The set was an Amazon exclusive in North America, who also labeled the set as "Final Strike Figure Series: Part 1." In Europe, it was supposed to be an Amazon exclusive as well, but was actually never stocked.
