Marco

Have you seen me?
This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Marco is an Animorph, and views himself as a joker, so funny that he even cracks himself up! A good quality to have, he thinks, as it prevents him from buckling under the pressure of the invasion of Earth by the Yeerk. And if there's anything he can't afford, is to go crazy while his friends and his Dad desperately need him in this battle. Wielding a chain segment as a makeshift whip, he morphs into a gorilla to show the Yeerks that he means business. Monkey business. He also has the ability to merge with Jake and Cassie to become the colossal Tri-Rex.
Toys
Animorphs
- Marco/Gorilla (Deluxe, 1999)
- Accessories: Left paw, right paw, chain
- Part of the first wave of Animorphs toys, Marco transforms from a human who clearly ingests steroids instead of food into a gorilla, as well as a transitional third mode combining features from both. His gorilla mode hands are separate pieces that attach like gloves. He also had a chain accessory to use as a weapon, presumably because gorillas don't have sharp claws and are therefore pathetic weaklings.
- Marco/Beetle (Deluxe, 1999)
- Accessories: Left antenna, right antenna
- Marco's second retail toy transforms from a rather beetle-y human into a beetle, as well as a transitional third mode combining features from both. His beetle mode antennae are removable.
- Tri-Rex (Super, 1999)
- This version of Marco was available only in the Tri-Rex giftset, along with Jake and Cassie. The toy has neither a human mode nor a complete animal mode; Marco transforms from a human/dinosaur transitional form into the midsection and legs of Tri-Rex.
Notes
- Marco's last name is not Polo. Or maybe it is. He's not telling.
