Muskhorn
- Muskhorn is a Beastformer from the Beastformers portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Muskhorn (ムスクホーン Musukuhōn), or just Musk (ムスク Musuku), is one of the Autobot-allied Beastformers fighting a war on the planet Beast. His role in the Autobot Beastformer forces is a mountain combatant. He also holds the rank of King of West Yutoranta, in the mountains of which he was born, over Emperor Pangol, who unfortunately chose to fight on the opposite side in the war. A musician with a big heart, he is often seen practicing his craft and creating new songs that give peace of mind to those who hear them. His MVP Weapon, the Mind Sabel, can emit a secret aroma from the Yutorantan mountains with the power to affects the brains of other creatures, allowing Muskhorn to control them. It can also draw out people's hidden potential and any dormant superpowers they may have.

Toys
Transformers: Beastformers
- Muskhorn (Beastformer, 1987)
- Beast ID number: 64
- Accessories: Sword
- Part of the third series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Muskhorn is an anthropomorphic musk ox in yellow robotic armor. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.
- He came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box, with a bio card with a line-art character image first used in Hasbro's Battle Beasts cast poster (rather than the painted images of the prior two series). Depending on the "Pack" he came in, there was a chance of his bio card being replaced with a rare "Secret Photo", "Bewitching Serpent Seal", or "VS Holography Mirror" card.
- Burstsun Special Set (Multi-pack, 1987)
- Accessories: Sword
- The first Beastformers multipack (still using the Transformers logo and factions) contained nine normal figures, then one of two special editions of the faction leaders, either a clear-plastic version of Alligatron, or White Leo with the "Burstsun" rubsign. The box contained no windows, so you didn't know which of the leaders you got until you opened it up.
- The other nine standard Beastformers in the set were Black Jaguar, Būpink, Crowmax, Dog Hunter, Dream Eater, Earthhog, Mingo Kid, Muskhorn, and Slo.
Beastformers
- Muskhorn (Beastformer, 1988)
- Beast ID number: 64
- Accessories: "Mind Sabel" MVP Weapon
- Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Muskhorn was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring. This new card also gave his weapon, now branded an "MVP Weapon", the name "Mind Sabel" (マインドサーベル Maindo Sāberu).
- The initial early releases of this series had the chance for any Beastformer to have the rare Burstsun symbol; we'll probably never know if Muskhorn was ever actually one of them. 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. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro Battle Beast version of the line.)
