Bullorn is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
I say, pup pup cheerio and whatnot.

Bullorn (ブルオーン Buruōn) may not be a young pup anymore, but there's muscle under those wrinkles. A rugby player in his youth, this boisterous bulldog can still hold his own in a scrum with beasts half his age and come out smiling. His strength, speed and prowess greatly impressed White Leo, and led to Bullorn's becoming a sergeant in his army. But while he's good at the old rough-and-tumble, he really shines as a confidant and mentor. Always willing to sit down with the lads and listen, tell stories, give advice, and build up the confidence of his charges or just anyone who needs it, he has become a beloved father figure to many a young warrior.

Following the war, he returned to his homeland Madra, where he was granted the title of King. When he's not helping out his people, he spends his downtime tending to his plants, and having a pint or six with his friend Emperor Dark Raccoon.

His MVP Weapon, the Bull Stick (ブルステッキ Buru Sutekki), may have one of the oddest powers on planet Beast: it can temporarily imbue inanimate objects with "life", enabling them to impossibly move under their own power, controlled by Bullorn's thoughts. Mostly he uses this to bring bottles of alcohol from across the room to his guests without anyone having to get up.

  • Bullorn (Beastformer, 1987)
  • ID number: 51
  • Pack: C
  • Accessories: Cane
Part of the second series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Bullorn is an anthopomorphic bulldog in black robotic armor. The Battle Emblem on his chest reveals one of three symbols when warmed up; Fire, Water or Wood.
He usually comes with a copper cane-shaped weapon marked with the same ID number as on his back. However, Beastformers is notorious for toys coming with someone else's weapon; it's unclear if this was just originally poor QC, but in the sequel series, this semi-random weaponry was actually turned into a "gimmick".
He came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box, with a bio card with a painted character image on a jungle backdrop, though there was a chance of his bio card being replaced with a rare "Secret Photo" card.

Notes

[edit]
  • As he was not sold in the post-Transformers sequel series and thus had no "RPG" style bio card, his post-Transformers bio comes from the Hero Special 4: Beastformers mook. This bio gives him the nickname "Bull" (ブル Buru).
  • In Japanese, "stick" (ステッキ) can have a connotation of "walking stick" or "cane"; it can also be another word for a wand, as in a magician or a magical girl's wand. In the Bull Stick's case, it's both.

Foreign names
