JP93 is an Autobot from Jurassic Park (via Collaborative).
"I'm afraid those things will harm me, cause they sure don't act like Barney, and they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend!"

JP93 stands in the way of Tyrannocon Rex's rampage in Jurassic Park.<ref>Transformers Collaborative Tyrannocon Rex and JP93 product description</ref>

You might expect JP93 to battle Tyrannocon Rex because they're members of opposing Cybertronian factions, but as far as the staff of Jurassic Park is concerned: she's an "asset out of containment", and it's JP93's job to "promptly" return her to her paddock.

Part of the seventh release in the Collaborative line, JP93 is a roughly Deluxe-sized mold that transforms into a licensed Ford Explorer with the livery of the tour vehicles from the 1993 film. As it takes design cues from skids, the doors are rear-mounted and can be angled back slightly for a little more real estate in moving the arms. The toy's sculpted hat, sunglasses, and shotgun accessory are inspired by, respectively, the film's paleontologist Alan Grant and game warden Robert Muldoon. His hat could also be a nod to the Ankylosaur, due to the molding looking like armored spikes. A minor problem is that the elbows are ball-joints, which has had rumors among some copies of easily gaining

stress marks from transformational movements, and just posing.

The shotgun accessory has a 5mm post to be held in either hand. It can also be mounted upside-down on the top of the vehicle mode, or stored below, or stored on the back of the robot mode below the backpack.
JP93's functional knees are located slightly lower than the visible sculpted details imply. His head has a small port for light-piping, but due to its size, it's not the most effective.
JP93 was sold with Tyrannocon Rex in a two-pack exclusively debuted by Amazon in the United States market. In a nod to the film, Mr. DNA is pictured on a box flap.

Notes

  • The name "JP93" is, of course, based on the release year of Steven Spielberg's [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Jurassic Park (film)|{{#if:first Jurassic Park film|first Jurassic Park film|Jurassic Park (film)}}]].
  • JP93 is based on Explorer 04, the tour vehicle that carried Lex, Tim, and Gennaro, which the T. rex destroyed in the breakout scene. The packaging of the toy set depicts Tyrannocon Rex standing atop Explorer 02, which did not appear in the film.
  • Despite Tyrannocon Rex being identified as a Decepticon, and JP93 as an Autobot, the paragraph of story text on the back of their shared package is unrelated to the Autobots' battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons. The staff of Jurassic Park apparently know the names of both of these characters, but Tyrannocon Rex is described as an “asset” of the park, just like the dinosaurs, and when she is "out of containment", JP93’s assignment is only to return the asset to her containment paddock.
  • Before it was announced, the toy two-pack was first discovered in store listings under the name "Transformers TRA Project Park".
  • Yes, we are aware that his passenger-side door reads "ASSIC PARK" when opened, and yes, that is funny.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: JP93
