	One of the physically strongest beings on [[Beast (planet)\|planet Beast]], '''Elephan''' (エレファン ''Erefan'') can literally move mountains if he ''really'' puts his weight into it. A single punch can blow away a building. And while he's slow, he's able to mitigate that by teaming up with [[Wildthunder]], who has the strength and sheer inertia to pull Elephan along into a devastating rushing body blow attack.

	But like many strongbeasts in [[White Leo]]'s army, Elephan is a gentle giant who doesn't want to fight, but does so for the sake of peace and protecting others. He wears his big heart on his sleeve, has a boisterous booming laugh, and is easily moved to tears. It's not hard to love the big guy, and even difficult people find themselves opening up to someone so open and honest. But not all of his big emotions are nice: he does have a temper, and if he's pushed into anger, he can go on absolutely devastating rampages... after which he's sure to feel very, very bad about.

			But like many strongbeasts in [[White Leo]]'s army, Elephan is a gentle giant who doesn't want to fight, but does so for the sake of peace and protecting others. He wears his big heart on his sleeve, has a boisterous booming laugh, and is easily moved to tears. It's not hard to love the big guy, and even difficult people find themselves opening up to someone so open and honest. But not all of his big emotions are nice: he does have a temper, and if he's pushed into anger, he can go on absolutely devastating rampages... after which he's sure to feel very, very bad about.

			Following the Great War, he reigns as the King of [[Kantonia\|Stoll]], with his good friend Wildthunder as his subordinate Emperor. Elephan's warm and open nature is slowly helping Wildthunder work on his impulsive side.

	Sledgehammer of [[Peptex]] was a heavily armored 'bot who trafficked contraband. When members of the [[Maximal Command Security Force]] raided a warehouse in the hopes of stopping a shipment of Energon from reaching the [[Resistance]] fighting against the [[Builder of Cybertron\|Builders']] reign, they came upon Sledgehammer. [[Stiletto (BW)\|Stiletto]], [[Wolfang (Maximal)\|Wolfang]], and [[Aura]] tried to bring him down, but Sledgehammer was so juiced up on [[Nucleon (substance)\|Nucleon]] during the encounter that he managed to keep all three of them at bay, despite the massive amounts of damage he was dealt. After chopping off Wolfang's legs, Sledgehammer made his escape through a window and ran off into the night. {{storylink\|Burning Bridges}}		'''Sledgehammer''' of [[Peptex]] was a heavily armored 'bot who trafficked contraband.

	One of the physically strongest beings on [[Beast (planet)\|planet Beast]], '''Elephan''' (エレファン ''Erefan'') can literally move mountains if he ''really'' puts his weight into it. Even a single punch from his Ultra Hammer arm can blow away a building. And while he's slow, he's able to mitigate that by teaming up with [[Wildthunder]], who has the strength and sheer inertia to pull Elephan along into a devastating rushing body blow attack. And staying back away from him isn't even safe, as his Elehammer (エレハンマー ''Erehanmā'') [[MVP Weapon]] fires "Elebeams" capable of cutting through ~~50cm~~ thick steel.

	The Elephan were a species of [[Beastformer (species)\|Beastformer]] allied with the rebels led by [[White Leo]] against [[Decepticon]] invaders and their allies, the evil Beastformers led by [[Alligatron]]. Some Elephans were kidnapped, to be used as slaves in the construction of components of [[Scorponok (G1)\|Scorponok]]'s [[transtector]]. One Elephan was part of [[Big Serow]]'s attack on the Decepticon stronghold that ultimately failed when the opposing attacks proved too much. Assistance soon came when the [[Autobot]] [[Transformer]]s came, and two Elephans were there to welcome them.
