Polar Battle Bear (ポーラバトルベア Pōrabatorubea) is one of the many Beastformers who joined White Leo's resistance forces as Galvatron's Decepticons began to conquer the formerly-peaceful planet Beast with their army of cold-blooded insurgents. His role in the Autobot-allied Beastformer forces is ice field combatant. He holds the rank of King of North Yutoranta, over Emperor Cuttledeep, and was born on the north shores of the island of Zemlya.

His relationship with Battle Bear is unknown.

Toys

Beastformers

• Polar Battle Bear (Beastformer, 1987)
  • Beast ID number: 48
  • Accessories: Axe

Part of the second series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Polar Battle Bear is an anthropomorphic polar bear in light 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

• Polar Battle Bear (Beastformer, 1988)
  • Beast ID number: 48
  • Accessories: "Polar Freezer" MVP Weapon

Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Polar Battle Bear 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 "Polar Freezer" (ポーラフリーザー Pōra Furīzā).

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 Polar Battle Bear 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 "Pillaging Polar Bear" was similarly (eventually) available with both styles of rubsign.
