Toys

Transformers: Beastformers

• Knight Owl (Beastformer, 1987)
  • Beast ID number: 46
  • Accessories: Axe

Part of the second series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Knight Owl is an anthropomorphic owl in blue robotic armor. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.

He came in a green-grid generic "Destron 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

• Knight Owl (Beastformer, 1988)
  • Beast ID number: 46
  • Accessories: "Knight Sabel" MVP Weapon

Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Knight Owl 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 "Knight Sabel" (ナイトサーベル Naito Sāberu).

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 Knight Owl 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.)

Notes

• Knight Owl is the rare Beastformer with the same name in the Hasbro Battle Beasts line... probably. The kana can be rendered as "Night Owl", but hey.
