Dillo is a reformatted ancient task drone who was found by Nightscream. As one of the Deployers, he is capable of quick transformation abilities. He was taught by an ancient Autobot tracker in the ways of the mace bolo. Unfortunately he only uses it while retreating. He is a bit of a coward, but attempts to maintain a tough outer demeanor.

Toys

Beast Machines

  • Dillo (Deployer, 2000)
Dillo is a purple and blue mechanical armadillo. He features a quick-change transformation and a mace bolo-shaped missile. (Judging from the shape of the missile, "bollo" is possibly a typo for "bola".)
  • Dillo (Deployer, 2001)
The "running change" redeco of Dillo retains all his original features, but now in red and blue. The color changes were not reflected on the packaging, which still showed the original colors.



Trivia

  • The redeco of Dillo was—according to store listings—originally supposed to be named "Trench", just as the other two redecoed Deployers were to be renamed. Why this plan changed is unknown.
