Yellow Camelus

Yellow Camelus is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Born in the Tell es Desert on the planet Beast, Yellow Camelus (イエローキャメラス Ierō Kyamerasu) holds the rank of King of Tell es-Sawwan. He is aided by his subordinate, Emperor Smileduck.

It's bad enough that the planet's elemental imbalance has left the continent of Muland short of food, but now he has to deal with the rise of the Laser Beasts, who threaten the entire planet!

• Yellow Camelus (Beastformer, 1988)
  • Beast ID number: 47
  • Accessories: "Airnizer" MVP Weapon

Yellow Camelus is a small, soft-plastic figure of an anthropomorphic camel in yellow-orange high-tech armor, with a rubsign on his chest that reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood. Or, well, "Hunchback Camel" is. The "Yellow Camelus" toy technically does not exist.

Yellow Camelus was never actually released in Takara's Beastformers line. While a few other Battle Beasts who were skipped during the Transformers-branded part of Beastformers got released in the 1988 Transformers-less version of the line, Yellow Camelus and Scout Mouse were not... but they both appear on multiple Transformers-era catalogs and posters, as well as getting full bios in the Hero Special 4: Beastformers book. Weird.

Thus, the only way to get "Yellow Camelus" is through the Hasbro Battle Beast line. He could be found in the standard two-packs, or randomly packed with the various vehicles and accessories in the Hasbro line. Some samples of Camel come in a more bright-orange armor than the more common yellow-orange. The initial releases use the "mood ring" style of rubsign, with a black outline of the symbol against a color-changing backdrop. Late in the Battle Beasts line, all of the Battle Beasts could have a new version of the rubsign that reveals a full-color symbol on a black backdrop.
