Have you seen me?

This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.

Power Nozzle (パワーノズル Pawā Nozuru) 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 vacuum attack soldier. Power Nozzle holds the rank of King of Tamaraham, over Emperor Red Octo.

    • Accessories: Triple-claw melee weapon
Part of the second series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Power Nozzle is a red anthropomorphic anteater in orange robotic armor. His left "hand" is a three-clawed deal in an open-digit "scoop" pose. 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

  • Power Nozzle (Beastformer, 1988)
    • Beast ID number: 29
    • Accessories: "Nose Arm" MVP Weapon
Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Power Nozzle 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 "Nose Arm" (ノーズアーム Nōzu Āmu).
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 Power Nozzle 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 "Antic Anteater" was similarly (eventually) available with both styles of rubsign.

Foreign names

  • English: Antic Anteater
