The people of the universe can rest easy knowing that this powerful "Molformer" fights alongside the Autobots and Maximals.
His only known weakness is his affinity for carrots.
Commercial appearances
[edit]- Potato was present alongside the Autobot and Maximal forces during their campaign against Unicron's minions. Though his main contributions to the fight were frightened squeaks and slapstick pratfalls, he nevertheless bravely led a stampede of other Molcars into battle.

Notes
[edit]- Potato is the main character of the Japanese stop-motion anime [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Pui Pui Molcar|{{#if:||Pui Pui Molcar}}]]. The majority of his shots in the trailer take place on typical Molcar sets, albeit in a CG'ed version of the show's typical aesthetic. He only shares the screen with an actual Transformer once, at the end of the trailer, where he leaps into action with Optimus Primal. TakaraTomy's official Transformers movie PR account warns viewers that, unfortunately, Potato does not appear in the full version of the film.<ref>{{#if: 残念ながら映画本編には登場いたしません。 |"残念ながら映画本編には登場いたしません。"—|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/tf_autobot/status/1677150444890787840 |tf_autobot|tf_autobot}}{{#if: Twitter |, Twitter|}}{{#if: |, ""|}}{{#if: 2023 |, 2023{{#if: 07 |/{{#switch:{{#len:07}}|1=007|07}}{{#if: 07|/{{#switch:{{#len:07}}|1=007|07}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/tf_autobot/status/1677150444890787840 ||}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/tf_autobot/status/1677150444890787840%7C7%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/tf_autobot/status/1677150444890787840%7C8%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/tf_autobot/status/1677150444890787840%7C7%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://twitter.com/tf_autobot/status/1677150444890787840%7C8%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref> #ReleaseTheMolcarCut!
