- Pangol is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Pangol (パンゴール Pangōru), also known as Punk (パンク Panku), is one of the Decepticon Beastformers fighting a war on the planet Beast. He was born in Rockland and his role in the Decepticon Beastformer forces is an "armored soldier" (aren't they all?). He was once a bad guy who blamed everyone else for his problems and used his MVP Weapon, the Living Stone, to petrify people he didn't like. He was reached out to and helped through these hard times by the gentle Muskhorn, who trained him and taught him to open his heart, and he now holds the rank of Emperor of West Yutoranta under King Muskhorn and devotes his time to cultivating the wilderness of their country. These days Pangol refuses to use the powers of the Living Stone unless faced with a great crisis.
Fiction
Beastformers comic
A combatant in the Beastformers' war with the Laser Beasts, Pangol cheered when Rabbit Kid and Bombsheep used the Hunters to send a Laser Beast squadron fleeing. Beastformers VS Laser Beasts
Legends comic
Pangol was part of the final battle between the Beastformers and the Laser Beasts for Beast in 2023. He watched on as Doublecross sent a burst of flame to their enemies and later saw White Leo and Tigerburn become crystalline statues, ending the war. The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 1
Toys
Transformers: Beastformers
- Pangol (Beastformer, 1987)
- Beast ID number: 65
- Accessories: Spear
- Part of the third series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Pangol is an anthropomorphic pangolin in peach robotic armor. His left arm ends in a three-clawed digging hand. 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 line-art character image first used in Hasbro's Battle Beasts cast poster (rather than the painted images of the prior two 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.
- Burstsun Special Set (Multi-pack, 1987)
- Accessories: Spear
- The first Beastformers multipack, the Burstsun Special Set (バーストサンスペシャルセット Bāsutosan Supesharu Setto) contained ten figures. It could have one of two special editions of the faction leaders: either a clear-plastic "Ghost" version of Alligatron, or White Leo with the then-unique "Burstsun" rubsign (but no other notable changes). The other nine slots were filled out from a possible roster of twelve other figures, all unchanged from their individual releases. The box contained no windows, so you didn't know which toys you got until you opened it up.
- The twelve possible standard Beastformers in the set were Black Jaguar, Būpink, Crowmax, Dog Hunter, Dream Eater, Earthhog, Mingo Kid, Muskhorn, Pangol, Slo, Udan, and White Cow.
Beastformers
- Pangol (Beastformer, 1988)
- Beast ID number: 65
- Accessories: "Living Stone" MVP Weapon
- Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Pangol 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 "Living Stone" (リビングストーン Ribingu Sutōn).
- He was sold in two similar-but-different styles of boxes. One wholly-generic version, sold in large display boxes like the Transformers releases, advertised the chance for the included bio card to instead be a rare holofoil card of White Leo with a "Burstsun" rubsign in a baggie taped to the back, so you could apply it to the Beastformer of your choice. The more common version has a slightly different box with a peg-hole in the top flap, and has a sticker on the bottom with his name and role on it.
- Late 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
- Pangol's 1987 card/poster artwork incorrectly gives him a silver spear. His 1988 version of the art corrects this mistake.
- The "Burstsun Special Set" art also shows him with a silver spear, but it shows everyone with a silver weapon regardless of actual toy-weapon color (except for Ghost Alligatron, who gets a ghostly-clear weapon that toy also does not have).
Foreign names
- English: Tanglin' Pangolin
