{{#ifeq: ||}}{{#ifeq: |File|}}

Puzzlecolor is a Laser Beast from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Puzzlecolor (パズルカラー Pazurukarā) has a reputation for pretention. Flashy, flamboyant, fashionable, and fussy, he puts great stock in his personal appearance. It just wouldn't do to be seen in the wrong colors.

And yet, his entire job involves not being seen. He is a spy extraordinaire, using his natural camouflage skills, incredible agility and climbing ability to sneak into heavily-guarded areas unnoticed. While he's not much of a fighter, he is a very difficult opponent to pin down, or even keep track of at all. As he doesn't just have the ability to change his colors; thanks to his Hide Color Laser (ハイドカラーレーザー Haido Karā Rēzā) MVP Weapon, he can change the colors of anything he shoots, and can use it to create disorienting displays to throw opponents off.

Toys

Beastformers

• Puzzlecolor (Laser Beast, 1988)

• ID number: 98
• Accessories: "Hide Color Laser" MVP Weapon (usually)

Part of the second—and rarer—assortment of Takara's Beastformers individually-boxed Laser Beasts, Puzzlecolor is an anthropomorphic Jackson's chameleon in high-tech blue armor. He has a transparent orb in his torso, revealing the elemental power of Fire, Water, or Wood when you look through it into a light source.

Nominally, he comes with the chameleon-themed "Hide Color Laser" blaster. However, there is also a chance he could come with the weapon from one of the other 11 Laser Beasts in his shipping case; matching the Beasts with their same-numbered weapons was part of the "role-playing game" attached to the line, encouraging kids to buy more of the toys.

This toy was actually released in Hasbro's Battle Beasts line as part of the "Shadow Warriors" series, but in an exceptionally limited capacity, and only in parts of Europe. It was released on an individual card as a "Battle Charger", coming with a unique chameleon-themed shield and the red/black version of the W Battler sled. Naturally, this makes this version very expensive to obtain, moreso than the Takara release, which was already expensive to begin with.
