	: Part of the third series of [[TakaraTomy\|Takara]]'s ''Beastformers'' toys, Zebra Ball is an anthropomorphic zebra in purple and gray robotic armor. While his stripes are not painted, they are raised portions on his pelt, giving you a guide if you're feeling up to [[customizing]]. His left hand has been replaced with a short spear. The [[rubsign]] on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.

	: He came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box, with a bio card with a line-art character image first used in [[Hasbro]]'s ''Battle Beasts'' cast poster (rather than the painted images of the prior two series). Depending on the "Pack" he came in, there was a chance of his bio card being replaced with a rare "[[Secret Photo]]", "[[Bewitching Serpent Seal]]", or "VS [[Holography Mirror]]" card.
