'''Būpink''' (ブーピンク ''Būpinku''), or just '''Bū''' (ブー), is one of the [[Autobot]]-allied Beastformers fighting a war on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]]. He was born and raised on the temperate island of [[Hilles]], a peaceful place, which has left him a calm and easygoing person who does things at his own pace. He holds the rank of King of Hilles, over Emperor [[Mingo Kid]]. A gourmet and expert chef, Būpink can cook almost any dish on Beast, and as a result his role in wartime is "Food Reconnaissance". He is aided in his duties by his [[MVP Weapon]], the Gourmetnier, which can turn objects into food by recomposing their molecules, ensuring his troops never go hungry.
