			: He ''usually'' comes with a gold boomerang-sword weapon marked with the same ID number as on his back. However, ''Beastformers'' is notorious for toys coming with someone else's weapon; it's unclear if this was just originally poor QC, but in the sequel series, this semi-random weaponry was actually turned into a "[[Beastformers Role-Playing Game\|gimmick]]".

He came with a bio card with a painted character image on a jungle backdrop, though there was a chance his bio card would instead be replaced with the rare "[[Bewitching Serpent Seal]]" card featuring [[Cobrander]].		: He was only available in the "D Pack" assortment, and came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box.

			* "Jungaroo" is the official [[Japanese language\|romanization]] of his name taken from his Meiji Battle Card, but it's ''very'' likely the intent is actually "Ju'''''m'''''garoo", a {{w\|portmanteau}} of "jump" and "kangaroo". In katakana, ン (n) is used to denote the short "m" sound preceding harder consonants... such as in "jump" ジャンプ (''janpu''). And "jump" makes a lot more sense as the source of the first part of his name.
	* Jungaroo's 1987 comic-style checklist-poster art shows him with a gold axe weapon rather than his actual boomerang blade. The 1988-series version of the art corrects this mistake.		* Jungaroo's 1987 comic-style checklist-poster art shows him with a gold axe weapon rather than his actual boomerang blade.
