  • Battle Gaia (Multi-pack, 1992)
    • Japanese ID number: TF-10
Sandstorm is a redeco of Brawl, transforming into a Leopard 1 main battle tank. Using the Scramble City-style of combination, he can form any limb to a compatible torso, though his nominal placement is as the left leg to Battle Gaia. He was only available as part of the Battle Gaia giftset.

Notes

  • The Sandstorm depicted in the July 1992 issue of TV Magazine (as seen above) has some color differences compared to the final version; the main color of the retail toy is more cream or off-white than sandy tan, while the optic band color veers closer to yellow than orange.
