Toys
Beastformers
- Undergroun (Beastformer, 1987)
- Beast ID number: 42
- Accessories: Axe
- Part of the second series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Undergroun is a lavender anthropomorphic mole in purple robotic armor. His left arm ends in a robotic clamp. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.
- In the Hasbro Battle Beasts line, this toy could come in either purple or black armor, black being significantly rarer. While black-armor Undergroun toys appear in various Beastformer checklists and posters, it is uncertain if it was ever actually released.
- He came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron 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
- Undergroun (Beastformer, 1988)
- Beast ID number: 42
- Accessories: "Ungrinder" MVP Weapon
- Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Undergroun 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 "Ungrinder" (アングラインダー Anguraindā).
- 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 Undergroun 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.)
