It transforms from an organic orca into a multi-level tower base. The orca head is removed (and presumably set aside, there's not really anything you can ''do'' with it in base mode) to reveal an adjustable control tower with spring-loaded missile launcher. The un-loaded missiles store by pegging into the "spine"/central column in both beast and base modes. The pectoral fins pull out to form a separate one-robot mini-sub. Two pieces of outer orca-skin on the lowest level can be pulled out and turned around to reveal non-firing double blasters.		: The "Maximal Orcanoch Micro Playset" was released as part of the ''[[MicroVerse]]'' toyline; [[Hasbro]]'s miniatures line meant to compete with [[Galoob]]'s ''Micro Machines'' (before Hasbro's purchase of Galoob).

			: There are also a number of smaller accessories that plug into small holes scattered around the base mode. The set also comes with two micro-figures, Optimus Primal and Tarantulas, who are designed to fit into the pilot seats in the mini-sub and control tower. These extra bits and figures can be stored in a compartment on the uppermost level, revealed via flip-up panel (though you can also keep one of the figures in the turret cockpit).
