Monkeyfighter (モンキーファイター Monkīfaitā) is a member of the intelligence unit of the Laser Beasts from the Macaque Clan. As part of his job, Monkeyfighter makes it his responsibility to be nosy. However, with the importance of the intelligence he carries, he has an undying paranoia of his own incompetence which forces him to be on the offensive at all points.

His Monkey Gear Laser shoots out a smokescreen that hides his teammates from enemy forces.

Toys

Beastformers

• Monkeyfighter (Laser Beast, 1988)
  • ID number: 106
  • Accessories: "Monkey Gear Laser" MVP Weapon (usually)

Part of the second —and rarer— assortment of Takara's Beastformers individually-boxed Laser Beasts, Monkeyfighter is an anthropomorphic macaque in high-tech green armor modeled after a ninja. He even has 忍 (nin) molded into his headband, aka "shinobi" or "ninja". He has a transparent orb in his torso, revealing the elemental power of Fire, Water, or Wood when you look through it into a light source.

Nominally, he comes with the macaque-themed "Monkey Gear Laser" blaster. However, there is also a chance he could come with the weapon from one of the other 11 Laser Beasts in his shipping case; matching the Beasts with their same-numbered weapons was part of the "role-playing game" attached to the line, encouraging kids to buy more of the toys.

This toy was never released in Hasbro's Battle Beasts line, not even in the limited capacity most "Shadow Warriors" were. As such, it commands a high price on the secondary market.
