Neutro led the Build Patrol Team. Build Patrol Team bio
Legends comic

Toys
The Transformers
- Construction Patrol (Micromaster Patrol, 1990)
- The Transformers Neutro transforms into a mainly yellow bulldozer. He was only available in a four-pack with his teammates Crumble, Groundpounder, and Takedown.
Zone
- Build Patrol Team (Micro TF team, 1990)
- Japanese ID number: C-351
- The Construction Patrol was sold the same year in Japan in the Zone series with no notable changes as the "Build Patrol Team".
Generations
- Autobot Tailgate & Groundbuster (Legends Class, 2014)
- Series / Number: 02 / #008
- Part of the sixth wave of 2012-onwards Generations Legends Class toys, Thrilling 30 "Autobot Tailgate" comes with "Groundbuster" (name changed due to trademark unavailability). He transforms into a robot, a bomb disposal skid loader,[2] and an extended claw for Tailgate to wield via its 5 mm post, or mount onto the peg-hole on Tailgate's hood in vehicle mode.
- In a nod to his original toy, he has (non-functional) wheels sculpted on his tread-arms.
- This mold was redecoed into Legends Groundshaker and Timelines Shakar.
Notes
- "Groundpounder" was also considered as a trademark-friendly name for the Thrilling 30 incarnation of Neutro before Hasbro settled on "Groundbuster".[3] The 2015 Robots in Disguise Decepticon Groundpounder also suffers from this disconnect, being named "Groundpounder" in fiction and "Groundbuster" for his toy.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Neutro (ニュートロ Nyūtoro)
- Italian: Neutron
