He was slated to be released in one of twelve "motorized vehicle" (aka [[Battlecruiser]]) sets. The Pre-Toy Fair 1988 catalogue shows him on the yellow [[Battle Buzzsaw#Toys\|sawshark-type vehicle]], but it's entirely possible he would have come with a different one; this assortment never made it to packaging sample stage.

	'''Kingbuster''' (キングバスター ''Kingubasutā'') is a [[Laser Beast]] of ~~the Tyrannosaurus Clan and a land stormtrooper in the Laser Beast army serving under [[Brown Lion]]~~. ~~He is extremely powerful~~, ~~sporting some~~ of the ~~highest strength and endurance in the army, but is brought down by his low intelligence: he knows little~~ of ~~strategy~~, ~~attacks as soon as he sees~~ an ~~enemy~~, ~~and fights entirely on instinct.

			'''Kingbuster''' (キングバスター ''Kingubasutā'') is a simple [[Laser Beast]] with a simple philosophy: '''''attack'''''. It's about all he's capable of, really. No fancy or even fundamental strategy, no guile, not even getting out of the way of enemy attacks. He's just a force of nature barreling ahead, an unstoppable brute ready to bite, smash, crush, stomp, and just generally beat ten kinds of hell out of any foe that gets in his field of vision and within arm's reach. This would probably not be a very good plan for staying alive, except Kingbuster is just ''that'' strong. He's more than capable of fighting his way out of a crowd through sheer bloody-minded rage and seemingly inexhaustible wells of strength and endurance.

			His [[MVP Weapon]], the Skull Beam Laser (スカルビームレーザー ''Sukaru Bīmu Rēzā''), can instantly crack open a target's skull with a properly-charged headshot. While this can be a gruesome fate, it might be a less horrible way to go than him getting his claws on you.
