Red Octo (レッドオクト Reddo Okuto) is one of the many Beastformers who joined the insurgent army under Alligatron raised by Galvatron in order to aid his Decepticons in conquering the formerly-peaceful planet Beast. His role in the Decepticon-allied Beastformer forces is sea mine soldier. Red Octo holds the rank of Emperor of Tamaraham, under King Power Nozzle, and was born in Tamara Bay.
Toys
Beastformers
- Red Octo (Beastformer, 1987)
- Beast ID number: 36
- Accessories: Spear
- Part of the second series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Red Octo is an anthopomorphic octopus in blue robotic armor. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.
- He came in a green-grid generic "Destron Beastformer" box, with a bio card with a painted character image on a jungle backdrop. Re-released in Series 3, the box was unchanged, but the bio card replaced the painted image with a simpler line-art image, first used in Hasbro's Battle Beasts cast poster. In both Series, depending on the "Pack" he came in, there was a chance of his bio card being replaced with a rare "Secret Photo", "Bewitching Serpent Seal", or "VS Holography Mirror" card.
Beastformers
- Red Octo (Beastformer, 1988)
- Beast ID number: 36
- Accessories: "Octo Anchor" MVP Weapon
- Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Iguanamonss was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring. This new card also gave his weapon, now branded an "MVP Weapon", the name "Octo Anchor" (オクトアンカー Okuto Ankā).
- The initial early releases of this series had the chance for any Beastformer to have the rare Burstsun symbol; we'll probably never know if Red Octo was ever actually one of them. Later in the run, the "mood ring" styled rubsigns were replaced with new rubsigns that revealed full-color Fire/Wood/Water images on black backdrops. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro Battle Beast version of the line.)
Notes
- The Hasbro release of "Octillion Octopus" was similarly (eventually) available with both styles of rubsign.
Foreign names
- English: Octillion Octopus
