Sam, did you know the male seahorse carries the young until they suddenly issue forth from the belly like confetti?! Just another of nature's "Tales To Make The Hair Stand On End."

  • Beast ID number: 45
  • Accessories: Trident

Part of the second series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Junior Dragon is an anthropomorphic seahorse in light 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

• Junior Dragon (Beastformer, 1988)
  • Beast ID number: 45
  • Accessories: "Screw Spinner" MVP Weapon

Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Junior Dragon 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 "Screw Spinner" (スクリュウスピナー Sukuryū Supinā).

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 Junior Dragon 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

• The Hasbro release of "Slasher Seahorse" was similarly (eventually) available with both styles of rubsign.
