Toys

[edit]

Car Robots

[edit]
  • Goosher (Basic, 2000)
    • Japanese ID number: D-004
    • Accessories: Tongue-mace
A redeco of the Beast Wars Transmetal 2 Predacon Spittor, Goosher transforms into a monstrous techno-organic toad. His beast mode tongue acts as a hand-held flail weapon for robot mode. He also has a flip-up claw on his toad back.


  • Guildo (Basic, 2000)
    • Japanese ID number: D-003
    • Accessories: Dark Sword
A redeco of the Beast Wars Transmetal 2 Maximal Nightglider, Dark Scream transforms into a techno-organic monstrous flying squirrel. His tail acts as a scabbard for his sword accessory.


  • Gaskunk (Basic, 2000)
    • Japanese ID number: D-002
A repaint of the Beast Wars Transmetal 2 Maximal Stinkbomb , Gas Skunk transforms into a techno-organic monstrous skunk. His tail features a separate swinging scissor-blade at the tip. He has a hidden spark crystal in his right rear leg in beast mode (left bicep in robot mode) revealed by a simple flip-up panel. His other leg/arm also has a flip-up panel, but there's nothing special under that one.

Robots in Disguise (2001)

[edit]

Now you'll never have to deal with an incomplete set
  • Dark Scream / Gas Skunk / Slapper (Mega 3-pack, 2001)
    • Accessories: Tongue-mace, Dark Sword
For their Hasbro releases, the members of the Predacon Field Squadron were released in a Mega-level pricepoint box all together. The toys in the 3-pack features several deco differences: Slapper features metallic green eyes rather than silver, Gas Skunk features a slightly darker yellow paint on his beast mode back, and Dark Scream features silver-colored plastic rather than dull grey, silver chrome to his back of his neck, and different paint applications on his beast mode head.

Notes

[edit]
  • The name "Predacon Field Squadron" was never used in the Robots in Disguise cartoon itself. The name originates from bios provided for Gas Skunk, Dark Scream, and Slapper in the English dub's production bible, in which Dark Scream was said to be the group's second member and Slapper its third member (making Gas Skunk the group's unspoken first member). However, the name was written in full lowercase, as if it wasn't meant to be a proper name.<ref>Robots in Disguise Series Bible, at TFRaw</ref> Publicly, the name first appeared on the (now defunct) Fox Kids website in a bio for Slapper that was (like the others from that site) derived from the production bible's longer bio. It was this Fox Kids bio that uppercased the name to make it more proper.<ref>Robots in Disguise character bios on FoxKids.com (archived)</ref>

Foreign names

[edit]
  • Japanese: Metal Beast 3 Kyōdai (メタルビースト３兄弟, "3 Metal Beast Brothers")<ref>According to the first Car Robots toy catalog, Guildo, Goosher, and Gaskunk make up a parallel group to the "3 Car Robo Brothers" (as Mach Alert, Speedbreaker, and Wildride were called in Japan), but this subgroup name is likewise never used in the cartoon, nor is any familial relationship implied between the three.</ref>
