Beastbox (RID)
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Beastbox" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Beastbox (disambiguation). |
- Beastbox is an Autobot Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
A Mini-Con mercenary for hire, Beastbox thinks of himself as the king of the jungle, but nevertheless will work for for anyone willing to pay him in Energon bananas. Way to play into the stereotype, Beastbox. His vast strength and concussion cannons make him a match for even full-size Transformers.
Games
Transformers: Robots in Disguise mobile game
When summoned to battle the Insecticon clone army invading Earth, Beastbox used his buzzsaw mode to ricochet around the battlefield, taking out any bug-bot unfortunate enough to get in his way.
Toys
Robots in Disguise (2015)
- Beastbox (Mini-Con, 2015)
- Accessories: Armor sprue (left & right gauntlets, left & right breastplates, helmet, left & right wings, backpack)
- Part of the second wave of Mini-Cons, Beastbox transforms from a robotic gorilla into a Cybertronian buzzsaw in a single step. He is designed to attach to and launch from Deployer Drift's grill-mounted launcher. He comes with a number of clear plastic accessories attached to an Autobot-insignia-shaped sprue, which can be attached using tabs and slots. Some of these parts can combine with those of his wavemates Ratbat, Sandsting, and Velocirazor to form an energy shark.
- Beastbox was later released by TakaraTomy in November of 2015, as part of the Transformers Adventure Limited Micron Gift Campaign. He was given away free with the purchase of 3000 yen worth of Transformers Adventure products at Edion Group, Bic Camera, Hakuhinkan Toy Park Ginza, or Shiro Botan Ishinomaki stores. This release of Beastbox has a Transformers Chronicle mobile app-compatible scan-badge, but is otherwise identical to the Hasbro release.
- Mini-Con 4-Pack (2015)
- This version of Beastbox, dubbed "Scorch Strike Beastbox", is a desert-themed redeco of the Mini-Con. Unlike his individual release though, he does not come with his armor sprue. On the other hand, he gains a few extra paint operations here and there over his original release.
- This four-pack also comes with Blizzard Strike Backtrack, Blizzard Strike Swelter, and Scorch Strike Undertone.
- Mini-Con Mega Pack (2016)
- This massive fifteen-pack of Mini-Cons, released exclusively in some Asian markets, includes Beastbox along with Anvil, Back, Bashbreaker, Divebomb, Hammer, Lord Doomitron, Ratbat, Sandsting, Sawback, Swelter, Tricerashot, Scorch Strike Undertone, Velocirazor, and Windstrike, each with extremely minor added deco and none with armor sprues. This Beastbox is almost the same as his original release, but the barrels of his guns are painted silver.
