Beastformers

  • Dreameater (Beastformer, 1987)
    • Beast ID number: 58
Dreameater is an anthropomorphic tapir with green robotic armor. He came with his "Quick Dreamer" sword. He has one of three rubsigns on his chest, revealing the elemental power of fire, water, or wood.
  • Burst Sun Special Set (Multi-pack, 1987)
The first Beastformers multipack (still using the Transformers logo and factions) contained nine normal figures, then one of two special editions of the faction leaders, either a clear-plastic version of Alligatron, or White Leo with the "Burstsun" rubsign. The box contained no windows, so you didn't know which of the leaders you got until you opened it up.
The other nine standard Beastformers in the set were Black Jaguar, Būpink, Crowmax, Dog Hunter, Dreameater, Earthhog, Mingo Kid, Muskhorn, and Slo.

Notes

  • Dreameater's name is a reference to the baku, a dream-eating spirit similar to the tapir.
