- Part of the third series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Duck Diver is an anthropomorphic platypus (not a duck!) in brown robotic armor. His left hand is posed at a flat-palmed flipper. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.
- He came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box, with a bio card with a line-art character image first used in Hasbro's Battle Beasts cast poster (rather than the painted images of the prior two series).
