Bluehorse (ブルーホース Burūhōsu), nickname Blues (ブルース Burūsu), is one of the many Beastformers who joined White Leo's resistance forces as Galvatron's Decepticons began to conquer the formerly-peaceful planet Beast with their army of cold-blooded insurgents. He's a reliable guy harboring a strong sense of justice and all the qualities of a good leader, though he is easily moved to tears. His strength, speed and endurance are top-notch and he can spend all day running without breaking a sweat, befitting his role as high speed warrior in the Autobot-allied Beastformer forces. Bluehorse also holds the rank of Emperor of Rabbihos, under King Rabbit Kid, and was born in Rabbihos City.

Bluehorse's MVP Weapon is an axe named Tomahorse, which has the rather useful ability to break anything and is markedly stronger than Violethorn's Tomahorn.

Fiction

Beastformers comic

Bluehorse accompanied White Leo, Bowdog, Badshark and Deaspider in the search of the Three Wise Ones' Water Gem of Stillness, using his natural horsepower and Tomahorse weapon to dig for it in the dried up lakebed of Lake Sagan. The mission had several possible outcomes: Bluehorse may have helped find the gem by breaking down a wall in an underground cave or he may have been injured in battle with a giant scorpion, forcing the five to retreat. The Water Gem of Stillness

Bluehorse remained in Rabbihos when Rabbit Kid traveled to reinforce Bistoram and was killed when the nation was invaded by the Laser Beasts. Rabbit Kid swore on his friend's grave that he would be avenged. Beastformers VS Laser Beasts

Toys

Transformers: Beastformers

• Bluehorse (Beastformer, 1987)
  • Beast ID number: 23
  • Accessories: Axe

Part of the first series of Takara's Beastformers toys, Bluehorse is a light-blue anthropomorphic horse in blue robotic armor. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.

He was re-released in the subsequent second and third series; while the toy proper was not changed, the packaging and packed-in bio card was. The Series 1 release comes in a generic red-grid "Cybertron Beastformer" box, with a red-grid bio card with a painted character image on the front, though there was a random chance of his card being replaced by the rare "Holography Mirror" card. Series 2 came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box, with the bio card putting the painted image on a jungle backdrop. Series 3's box was unchanged, but the bio card replaced the painted image with a simpler line-art image, first used in Hasbro's Battle Beasts cast poster. In the green-box releases, 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.

Beastformers

• Bluehorse (Beastformer, 1988)
  • Beast ID number: 23
  • Accessories: "Tomahorse" MVP Weapon

Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Bluehorse 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 "Tomahorse" (トマホース Tomahōsu).

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 Bluehorse 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.)

• Bluehorse (Gashapon/candy-toy Beastformer, 1988)
  • Meiji ID number: 7
  • Accessories: "Crat Scissors" weapon

A small, super-deformed, articulation-free version of Bluehorse was sold both as a gashapon capsule prize by Takara, and as a candy toy with "chocoballs" through the candy/ snack company Meiji. The candy toy version came with a bio/data card with its own role-playing rules, using the old Transformers-era painted character art.

This stumpy lil fellow could be found in red, blue or green plastic, representing the Fire, Water and Wood elements (even though he still had a rubsign). All of the Meji Beastformers comes with a different Beastformer's weapon attached to their left shoulder by a snippable sprue, common for inexpensive toys of that nature. Bluehorse comes with Crabhit's "Crat Scissors" weapon, while Flykick has Bluehorse's "Tomahorse".
