Part of the third series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Duck Diver is an anthropomorphic platypus (not a duck!) in brown robotic armor. His left hand is posed at a flat-palmed flipper. 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.


Beastformers

  • Duck Diver (Beastformer, 1988)
    • Beast ID number: 71
    • Accessories: "Aqua Barrier" MVP Weapon
Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Duck Diver was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring. This new card also gave his weapon, now branded an "MVP Weapon", the name "Aqua Barrier" (アクアバリア Akua Baria).
The initial early releases of this series had the chance for any Beastformer to have the rare Burstsun symbol; we'll probably never know if Duck Diver was ever actually one of them. Later in the run, the "mood ring" styled rubsigns were replaced with new rubsigns that revealed full-color Fire/Wood/Water images on black backdrops. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro Battle Beast version of the line.)
