	: This toy was actually released in [[Hasbro]]'s ''Battle Beasts'' line as part of the "Shadow Warriors" series, but they saw ''extremely'' limited distribution, largely hitting clearance chains in the US, plus limited releases in parts of Europe. As such, it generally goes for a bit less than the later Laser Beasts that were only released in Japan, but not a ''lot'' less. There is a minor variant to the gun that has popped up in some EU and Canadian samples, though it's a bit harder to notice than most of the other gun variants: both versions have the "87" ID number stamped on the left-hand side in the indent between the handle and guard, but the common version has the number much larger, taking up most of the vertical space, while the variant is a fair bit smaller.		: This toy was actually released in [[Hasbro]]'s ''Battle Beasts'' line as part of the "Shadow Warriors" series, but they saw ''extremely'' limited distribution, largely hitting clearance chains in the US, plus limited releases in parts of Europe.

M Sipher: I'm pretty convinced the mook is correct in having him be Dinogator's "right hand" rather than Tigerburn's... is there a compelling reason to not go with that up top?

He's a brilliant strategist who is quick to think on his feet, able to adapt to adverse situations without losing his cool.
