Demonkey

AAAAAAH! THE EYES! HE'LL EAT US ALL!

Demonkey is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Demonkey (デモンキー Demonkī) is one of the Decepticon Beastformers fighting a war on the planet Beast. His role in the Decepticon Beastformer forces is a demolition soldier. He also holds the rank of Emperor of Palmyra under King Little Serow, who fights on the opposite side in the war. Okay then.

May or may not be sticker-accurate to the actual Takara release.

• Perfect 6-Piece Set (Box set, 1988)
  • Beast ID number: 56
  • Accessories: "Demon Waver" MVP Weapon

Demonkey is an anthropomorphic tarsier in green robotic armor. His left hand is posed in a flat-palmed pose. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols: Fire, Water or Wood. He comes with his "Demon Waver" (デーモンウェーバー Dēmon Wēbā) MVP Weapon.

Though a common release in the Hasbro Battle Beasts line, he was only available in the Takara Beastformers line as part of the "Perfect 6-Piece Set" (パーフェクト6体セット Pāfekuto 6 Tai Setto, the English text on the packaging renders it as "Beastformer 6 Animals Set") multi-pack.... but he was not always actually in it.

One of the six slots in this box set will always have the exclusive Crystal Killer Fish, randomly taking the place of one of the six "normal" figures in the pack: Baboon, Cobrander, Demonkey, Eagle Killer, Little Serow, or Shield Dragon. Given that this set was the only way to obtain Demonkey and Little Serow in the entirety of Beastformers's run, having Crystal Killer Fish replace one of those two would be... frustrating.

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. It is uncertain if the box set toys got these new stickers or not. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro Battle Beast version of the line, thus, the picture to the right.)
