Power Jaguar (パワージャガー Pawājagā) is one of the many Beastformers who joined White Leo's resistance forces as Galvatron's Decepticons began to conquer the formerly-peaceful planet Beast with their army of cold-blooded insurgents. His role in the Autobot-allied Beastformer forces is a land attack aide-de-camp. He holds the rank of King of Arxan, over Emperor Beavop, and was born in the country's inland areas.

Toys

Transformers: Beastformers

• Power Jaguar (Beastformer, 1987)
  • Beast ID number: 31
  • Accessories: Spear

Part of the second series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Power Jaguar is an anthopomorphic jaguar in red robotic armor. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.

In the Hasbro Battle Beasts line, he came in red armor as well as a rarer blue-armor variant. It is uncertain if the blue-armor version was sold in the Takara line.

He came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box, with a bio card with a painted character image on a jungle backdrop. Re-released in Series 3, the box was unchanged, but the bio card replaced the painted image with a simpler line-art image, first used in Hasbro's Battle Beasts cast poster. In both Series, depending on the "Pack" he came in, there was a chance of his bio card being replaced with a rare "Secret Photo", "Bewitching Serpent Seal", or "VS Holography Mirror" card.

Beastformers

• Power Jaguar (Beastformer, 1988)
  • Beast ID number: 31
  • Accessories: "Jag Spear" MVP Weapon

Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Power Jaguar was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring. This new card also gave his weapon, now branded an "MVP Weapon", the name "Jag Spear" (ジャッグスピア Jaggu Supia).

The initial early releases of this series had the chance for any Beastformer to have the rare Burstsun symbol; we'll probably never know if Power Jaguar was ever actually one of them. Later in the run, the "mood ring" styled rubsigns were replaced with new rubsigns that revealed full-color Fire/Wood/Water images on black backdrops. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro Battle Beast version of the line.)

• Power Jaguar (Gashapon/candy-toy Beastformer, 1988)
  • Meiji ID number: 29
  • Accessories: ??? weapon

A small, super-deformed, articulation-free version of Power Jaguar was sold both as a gashapon capsule prize by Takara, and as a candy toy with "chocoballs" through the candy/ snack company Meiji. The candy toy version came with a bio/data card with its own role-playing rules, using the old Transformers-era painted character art.

This stumpy lil fellow could be found in red, blue or green plastic, representing the Fire, Water and Wood elements (even though he still had a rubsign). All of the Meji Beastformers comes with a different Beastformer's weapon attached to their shoulder by a snippable sprue. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown what weapon he came with, and who came with his.

Notes

• In the Hasbro Battle Beasts line, "Jaded Jag" was available both in red armor and a rarer blue-armor variant. He was similarly (eventually) available with both styles of rubsign, though any correlation between rubsign and armor color is currently unknown. It does not appear that the blue-armor version was ever released in the Beastformer line.
