Power Nozzle is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Who's that sucking all the oxygen / Out of the place

Nobody can suck the air out of a room like Power Nozzle (パワーノズル Pawā Nozuru). Dark, nihilistic, deadly-serious and endlessly, eerily calm, he is a slow but steady force of destruction.

Also, he can literally suck the air out of the room. His enhanced lungs and nozzle-shaped mouth allow him to change air pressures within a five-meter area, even creating vacuum conditions that can put air-breathing opponents in a state of oxygen deprivation. And good luck trying to run, as his triple-clawed Nose Arm (ノーズアーム Nōzu Āmu) MVP Weapon can extend a trio of "magic hands" to grab targets and hold them in place. And though he hates Alligatron, he used those talents to help him in his attempt to conquer planet Beast.

Following the war, he returned to his homeland of Tamaraham to rule as its King. This seems to have tempered his destructive nature, though it's certainly not changed his outward behavior in any way. He may not be popular, but he serves his country with a grim determination. He's even managed to turn his subordinate Emperor, the soft-headed and flighty Red Octo, into an efficient worker. The two share a telepathic link, allowing Nozzle to direct Octo in his underwater duties and keep him on task.
