	:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#BWN\|Beast Wars Neo]]'' toyline, the Spy Shot & Claw Gun [[roleplay toy]] is made up of three components; the blue soft foam Spy Bird, the Spy Shot pistol, and the red and gold not-gun-shaped Claw Gun. The Spy Shot is loaded by pulling the sliders on either side back and slotting the solid plastic piece on the bottom of the Spy Bird into it. The Spy Shot trigger isn't be able to fire unless the Spy Bird is inserted, as it needs to push back a small plastic "safety". If the Claw Gun is attached when fired, it makes an electronic noise. It will also snap the gold claw forward if it is pulled back. The Claw Gun can also be worn on one finger as a separate weapon. The wearer can trigger the noise and claw snap action by flexing their finger to press the button on the underside.		:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#BWN\|Beast Wars Neo]]'' toyline, the Spy Shot & Claw Gun [[roleplay toy]] is made up of three components; the blue soft foam Spy Bird, the Spy Shot pistol, and the red and gold not-gun-shaped Claw Gun.
