Razorkukku is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The best to you each morning!

Razorkukku (レーザークック Rēzākukku), also known as Chicken (チキン Chikin), is one of the Autobot Beastformers fighting a war on the planet Beast. He's a gentle family man who enjoys cooking and being at home with his family, and he often holds parties. He also holds the rank of Emperor of East Yutoranta, the country where he was born, under King Strong Panda. As a bird-type Beastformer, Razorkukku excels at aerial combat and holds the role of Air Staff Officer in the Autobot Beastformer forces, though he's very careful in his attack strategies as his true specialty lies in defense. By spinning his MVP Weapon, the Valiant Razor, he can create a Razor Barrier that can withstand even the impact of an atomic bomb. Wow!
