- Mickey Mouse is a talking animal from the Disney Label continuity.
Mickey Mouse is an oddity amongst Earth's fauna, an upright-walking rodent with opposable thumbs and the power of speech. It is unknown if he is a unique specimen, or part of a larger species. He drives a truck that can transform into a robotic suit of armor he can pilot. The childlike features he bears endear him to the young humans of Earth. The wisdom of granting mechanized destructive power to a creature such as this is up for debate.

Mickey appears as a driver with an orange worker's cap on (in the right side of the cab, what with this being a Japanese toy), but disappears when then grill is flipped upward during transformation. Mickey re-appears dressed in a battle suit on a flip-around panel on the robot mode's head when the backpack is brought down into its final position. Pushing down on the robot's upper body causes the robot arms to flap up and down, simulating giddy excitement. (No, really.) The robot's clear-plastic visor can be raised and lowered over its optics.
