Toys
Beastformers
- Jungaroo (Beastformer, 1987)
- Beast ID number: 35
- Accessories: "Garoomerang" blade
- Part of the second series of Beastformers, Jungaroo is an anthropomorphic kangaroo. His left hand is a large boxing-glove-like fist. He comes with his "Garoomerang" (ガルメラン) boomerang/sword.
- His rubsign reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water, or Wood. The initial release has the symbol as a black outline against "mood ring" style color-changing backdrop. He was re-released in series three, in a new box lacking the Transformers brand marks; this release gives him a rubsign that reveals a full-color symbol on a black backdrop.
Notes
- The Hasbro release of "Kickback Kangaroo" was similarly (eventually) available with both styles of rubsign.
Foreign names
- English: Kickback Kangaroo
