• Puzzlecolor (Laser Beast, 1988)
  • ID number: 98
  • Accessories: "Hide Color Laser" MVP Weapon (usually)

Part of the second —and rarer— assortment of Takara's Beastformers individually-boxed Laser Beasts, Puzzlecolor is an anthropomorphic Jackson's chameleon in high-tech blue armor. He has a transparent orb in his torso, revealing the elemental power of Fire, Water, or Wood when you look through it into a light source.

Nominally, he comes with the chameleon-themed "Hide Color Laser" blaster. However, there is also a chance he could come with the weapon from one of the other 11 Laser Beasts in his shipping case; matching the Beasts with their same-numbered weapons was part of the "role-playing game" attached to the line, encouraging kids to buy more of the toys.

This toy was actually released in Hasbro's Battle Beasts line as part of the "Shadow Warriors" series, but in an exceptionally limited capacity, and only in parts of Europe. It was released on an individual card as a "Battle Charger", coming with a unique chameleon-themed shield and the red/black version of the W Battler sled. Naturally, this makes this version very expensive to obtain, moreso than the Takara release.

Notes

• It is currently unknown what his Hasbro Battle Beasts name was going to be.
