			[[Image:Badshark Meiji card.jpg\|thumb\|300px\|The further down the block you went the badder it got.]]

			If there's one word to describe '''Badshark''' (バッドシャーク ''Baddoshāku''), it's "determined". (If there's two words, they're "''scary'' determined".) Once he sets his mind to a goal, he will see it through to the end, step by step, no matter how long it takes or how hard it is. And with a jaw strength capable of crushing rocks, he can handle "hard". Growing up in the Shark Bay off the coast of [[North Snarl\|Sheepnia]], he learned how to manipulate ocean currents on his own, which earned him the nickname "The Sea Storm"... a skill now further amplified by his [[MVP Weapon]] Barkspin (バークスピン ''Bākusupin''). He started as a low-ranking underwater trooper in [[Alligatron]]'s rebel army, but through sheer bloody-minded effort, had worked his way up to the rank of general by war's end.

	[[~~Image:~~Badshark ~~Meiji card.jpg\|thumb\|300px\|The further down the block you went~~ the ~~badder it got~~.]]		Following the war, he returned to his homeland, ultimately striking up a friendship with Sheepnia's gentle King [[Bombsheep]]. Badshark now serves as the country's Emperor, defending its waters.

	'''Badshark''' (バッドシャーク ''Baddoshāku''), nicknamed '''Bark''' (バーク ''Bāku'') for short, is one of the many Beastformers who joined the insurgent army under [[Alligatron]] raised by [[Galvatron (G1)\|Galvatron]] in order to aid his [[Decepticon]]s in conquering the formerly-peaceful planet [[Beast (planet)\|Beast]]. His greatest strength is his determination: when Badshark has a goal in mind he will steadily pursue it, making progress step-by-step and never giving up until he has succeeded. This quality saw him rise from a low-ranking underwater soldier at the beginning of the war to the position of general by the end of it, and it was also through pure determination that he learned his special ability to cause storms by manipulating ocean currents. Badshark holds the rank of Emperor of [[Sheepnia]], under King [[Bombsheep]], and was born in [[Shark Bay]].		{{TOCclear}}

	: The initial early releases of this series had the chance for any Beastformer to have the rare Burstsun symbol; we'll probably never know if Badshark was ever actually one of them.
