'''Bluehorse''' (ブルーホース ''Burūhōsu''), nickname '''Blues''' (ブルース ''Burūsu''), is one of the many Beastformers who joined [[White Leo]]'s resistance forces as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s [[Decepticon]]s began to conquer the formerly-peaceful planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]] with their army of cold-blooded insurgents. He's a reliable guy harboring a strong sense of justice and all the qualities of a good leader, though he is easily moved to tears. His strength, speed and endurance are top-notch and he can spend all day running without breaking a sweat, befitting his role as high speed warrior in the [[Autobot]]-allied Beastformer forces. Bluehorse also holds the rank of Emperor of [[Rabbihos]], under King [[Rabbit Kid]], and was born in [[Rabbihos City]].


Bluehorse's [[MVP Weapon]] is an axe named Tomahorse, which has the rather useful ability to break ''anything'' and is markedly stronger than [[Violethorn]]'s Tomahorn.
Loyal and determined, '''Bluehorse''' (ブルーホース ''Burūhōsu'') is a pillar of strength. Always ready to stand up and fight for the weak, he puts his all into everything he does, and will never give up.

In the green-box releases, 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.

: Re-released in the ''Transformers''-less ''Beastformers'' sequel series, Bluehorse was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring.

: 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.)

Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

Bluehorse is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Loyal and determined, Bluehorse (ブルーホース Burūhōsu) is a pillar of strength. Always ready to stand up and fight for the weak, he puts his all into everything he does, and will never give up. Once he's sworn to fight for you, he will do so until the very end. As the Emperor of the island nation of Rabbihos, he now serves and protects its young King Rabbit Kid.

Physically, he's an incredible specimen. He's one of the strongest beings on planet Beast; he and Violethorn often compete in friendly tests of strength. His MVP Weapon, the Tomahorse (トマホース Tomahōsu), can smash through anything once charged up. He also boasts remarkable endurance, able to run at speed all day without tiring out. Combine all this, and you have a powerhouse that's hard to stop once he gets on a rampage.

Of course, all that strength is in service of his soft side. In fact, he can get very emotional pretty easily. It's not unusual to see him brought to flowing tears.

Fiction

Beastformers comic

Bluehorse accompanied White Leo, Bowdog, Badshark and Deaspider in the search of the Three Wise Ones' Water Gem of Stillness, using his natural horsepower and Tomahorse weapon to dig for it in the dried up lakebed of Lake Sagan. The mission had several possible outcomes: Bluehorse may have helped find the gem by breaking down a wall in an underground cave or he may have been injured in battle with a giant scorpion, forcing the five to retreat. The Water Gem of Stillness

Bluehorse remained in Rabbihos when Rabbit Kid traveled to reinforce Bistoram and was killed when the nation was invaded by the Laser Beasts. Rabbit Kid swore on his friend's grave that he would be avenged. Beastformers VS Laser Beasts
