Revision as of 19:36, 12 March 2016
| This article is about the Beast Wars Neo Maximal. For the Animated Autobot, see Stampy (Animated). |
- Stampy is a Maximal from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Stampy (スタンピー Sutanpī) is young, cute and... well, not the bravest Transformer around. In fact, he's a huge coward, which greatly frustrates his teammates. When he's not scared slagless at the thought of his next mission, this rabbit Transformer is quite cheerful and well liked, which makes others eager to help him overcome his fears.
Despite his youth and cowardice, he's an excellent scout. His innate speed and extremely sensitive ears make him perfect for gathering intelligence and getting the info (and himself) back to base in one piece (the way he most definitely prefers it). And if worse comes to worse, he can always transform into his "Scissor Mode" to slice opponents with his diamond-sharp blades... though that really only works if he's being carried by someone else, limiting the mode's usefulness.

Beast Wars Neo
- Stampy (Basic, 1999)
- Japanese ID number: C-31
- Stampy transforms into a rather vicious-looking organic snow hare seemingly designed to have his beast mode be in a permanent mid-leap pose. His robot hands are compatible with 5mm posts. His "Scissor Mode" turns him into... an awkward pile of rabbit parts with his pincers and ear-blades pointing vaguely forward, which barely scissor open and closed when his tail is pulled on. This mode is designed to be used as a hand-held weapon by larger Transformers toys, having a 5mm peg on his underside, though Stampy's weight often forces the wielder's arm to droop or the whole body to become off-balance and topple over. The Scissor Mode gimmick gives him a "shrugging" action in robot mode.
- Grasslands Showdown: Stampy VS Sling (Multi-pack, 1999)
- Japanese ID number: VS-31
- Stampy was also available in a "VS" two-pack with the Predacon Sling. Both toys were identical to their individual releases.
