Centurion Drone (or Droid), for those like me who are unfamiliar with this character, is from the IDW comic universe... which is based on a concept from the original 1980s cartoon. Ironically, even though Centurion Droid was introduced in the IDW Stormbringer comic waaaaay back in 2006, the Seige Brunt toy last year was so obviously based on it, it was almost like Brunt was really a "pre-redeco" of the intended character toy that it was actually based on (particularly since Gen1 Brunt didn't have a robot mode, so a transforming toy of it could have been a redeco of almost any cybertronian tank toy).
(the term "pre-redeco" is only something I use, when we've occasionally seen a mould released first as some other character before the obvious character it was designed to be, like MP Nightstalker (Steeljaw mould, still not released yet), Titans Return Optimus (Octane) and Megatron (Blitzwing).)
