The most astounding super hero of all!
  • Construction Patrol (Micromaster Patrol, 1990)
  • Takara name: Build Patrol Team
  • Takara ID number: C-351
Released in the seventh (and final) year of Hasbro's US Transformers toyline (sixth and not-final year in European markets), Neutro transforms into a mainly yellow Fiat-Allis FD40 bulldozer. He is gang-molded with his teammate Crumble, sharing the same plastic colors.
He was only available in a four-pack with his teammates Crumble, Groundpounder, and Takedown.
In Takara's markets, the Team was released as the "Build Patrol Team" in the Zone portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline. They are physically identical to their Hasbro counterparts.
