Leafback

Leafback is an Energy Beast from Wild King.

I guard the Green, the plant life of Earth. As long as it lives, I cannot die!

A simple straightshooter, Leafback (リーフバック Rīfubakku) isn't much for anything bent or curved. Among the dinosaurs of Elementros, Leafback is among the most physically powerful, rivalling only Drillnohorn. Trusting Captain Volca, Leafback has fallen under the influence of Megatron. For whatever reason, he believes that the more horns, the smarter a person is.

Possessing Grass Energy that gives power over nature, Leafback is an Energy Beast that can undergo wildocking with an Energy Master.

When Captain Volca, Wildocked with Megatron as Flame Megatron, declared that the boundaries for the Animal Tribe and Dinosaur Tribe were no more, Leafback appeared to support his leader's declaration. He later attacked Optimus Prime and Lightlong on Volca's orders, but failed to stop them from Wildocking and was quickly sent flying away by the newly combined Lightning Optimus. The Power of Bonds! Wildocking! Somehow surviving the experience, Leafback was summoned back to the locale by Flame Megatron to further combine with him into Flame-Grass Megatron, who used the combined might of their Flame and Grass Energies to seemingly slaughter their opponents. The Hero Who Descends from the Sky! Leafback was seen as part of Megatron's group as he added Spirituan to his ranks. Courage to Protect What's Important

Toys

Wild King

• Leafback (Energy Beast, 2025)

• ID number: WKB-04
• Release date: April 26, 2025
• Accessories: Triceratops head, Triceratops tail, "Grass Energy" breastplate
• Known designers: Yūya Ōnishi (TakaraTomy)

Part of the first wave of TakaraTomy's Wild King toyline, Leafback transforms into a robotic Triceratops. He can also transform into an arm or a leg extension for any Energy Master toy. He has a leaf-themed "Grass Energy" breastplate, which can be detached and re-attached to one of the four ports on the chest of the Energy Master torso, forming part of a large elemental "X".

He lacks a conventional melee weapon, though his removable dino-tail could be used as a huge club, if you like. Interestingly, the tip of his tail is removable, and also has a sculpted-in barrel.

He shares several "core" parts with other Energy Beasts: he has the same torso and thighs as the other three in the wave, and shares the biceps and hindlegs/shins with Abyssrain, Drillnohorn, and Hydrophant.
