Beafox

Beafox is an Autobot-allied Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Fair, balanced, and razor-wielding.

Born in Starr City, Beafox (ビーフォックス Bīfokkusu) is one of the many Beastformers who joined White Leo's resistance forces as Galvatron's Decepticons began to conquer the formerly-peaceful planet with their army of cold-blooded insurgents. His role in the Autobot-allied Beastformer forces is a reconnaissance combatant. He prefers to launch sneak attacks on the Decepticon-allied Beasts, whom his hatred for stands unrivaled by any of his comrades. He also holds the rank of King of Ringostan, over Emperor Devilbat... who fights on the opposite side in the war.

His physical attributes include the ability to see clearly two kilometers ahead even in darkness and jumping power second only to Rabbit Kid.

The Beafoxes were a species of Beastformer, part of White Leo's rebels, fighting against the Decepticons and their allies, Alligatron and the evil Beasts. However, some were kidnapped and used as slaves to construct components of Scorponok's transtector. A few Beafoxes were part of an unsuccessful attack by the rebels on the Decepticon stronghold. They got shot down and the rebels were forced into retreat. Later, a few Beafoxes were there to welcome their Autobot saviors.

The enslaved Beafox were saved by the efforts of Wheelie, Daniel, and the Monsterbots. Meanwhile, a Beafox was part of a force led by White Leo to rescue those very same slaves. The two groups joined together and emerged outside to see the Decepticon Transformers in retreat. A Beafox, with other rebels, saw off the Autobots. Rebellion on Planet Beast

• Beafox (Beastformer, 1987)
  • Beast ID number: 16
  • Accessories: "Beastarr" weapon

Part of the first series of Beastformers, Beafox is an anthropomorphic red-brown fox in high-tech white armor. He comes with his "Beastarr" (ビースター) sycthe.

His rubsign reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood. The initial release has the symbol as a black outline against "mood ring" style color-changing backdrop. He was re-released in series three, in a new box lacking the Transformers brand marks; this release gives him a rubsign that reveals a full-color symbol on a black backdrop.

• Beafox white version (Beastformer, 1987)
  • Beast ID number: 16
  • Accessories: weapon

A solid-white version of Beafox was sold through gumball machines in Japan. The gumball versions of the Beastformers appear to have randomized weapons (or just crummy quality control).

Notes

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