| This article is about the Maximal combiner and ethnic stereotype. For the Predacon combiner and political council, see Tripredacus. |
- Tripledacus is a Maximal Jointron combiner from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Tripledacus (トリプルダクス Toripurudakasu) is the fusion of the three jovial Jointron brothers, DJ, Gimlet and Motorarm. He is taller than the Predacon Emperor of Destruction, Galvatron and equal in strength to the Maximal Supreme Commander, Lio Convoy. He is loaded with weapons and is a near-invincible warrior who gives any Predacon a run for their money.
Fiction
Cartoon continuity
Beast Wars II cartoon
- Voice actor: Ryō Naitō (Japanese)
The Combined Giant, Tripledacus The Festive Jointrons A Fearsome Combination Plan? Who Is the Leader!? Who Is the Strongest Warrior!? Face the Setting Sun Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger! The Great Angolmois Freezing Tactic Fly Out! Planet Gaea Assemble, Thirty-Nine Warriors
Beast Wars Neo cartoon
The Jointrons returned to Cybertron following the defeat of Unicron, and as Tripledacus they helped repair the damage caused to the planet. Graduation Ceremony!!
Beast Wars II manga
IDW Beast Wars comics
The Jointrons chose the "Tripledacus" name as a jab to the Tri-Predacus Council. Beast Wars Sourcebook #4
Toys
Beast Wars
- Tripledacus (1998)
- Japanese ID number: X-3
- This figure is a redeco of Tripredacus, formed from DJ (torso), Motorarm (arms) and Gimlet (legs). He was sold both as separate components and in a giftset.
Merchandise
Beast Wars Gum
- DJ (candy toy, 1998)
- Motorarm (candy toy, 1998)
- Gimlet (candy toy, 1998)
- Tripledacus could be assembled by snaping together the three Jointrons model kits from Kabaya's Beast Wars Gum. He's sculpted from red and brownish-grey plastic. Each member came with a set of stickers, including eyes for Tripledacus. When combined, DJ's and Gimlet's legs (including the later's crotch) are left out of the combiner, possibly due to lack of adequate space. Each member also came with a stick of gum.
Notes
- Tripledacus's name was romanized in English as "Tripredacus" on at least two Japanese trading cards, casting a shadow of doubt over the English-speaking fandom's interpretation of his name as possessing an "L". Despite that, his English name was officially canonized as "Tripledacus" by IDW's Beast Wars comics.
- TakaraTomy reissued two of Tripledacus's components, namely Gimlet and Motorarm, as part of their Beast Wars Telemocha Series in 2007, but omitted DJ from the line-up. Therefore, the only way to complete Tripledacus from the Telemocha releases would be by using an original DJ toy.
