This article is about the Predacon wolf from Beast Wars Telemocha Series. For the Maximal wolf, see Wolfang (BW).
Wolfang is a Predacon from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Mein Gott im Himmel!

Wolfang (ボルファング Borufangu, meant to be pronounced as a Germanic "Volfang"), the "High-Speed Warrior", defines "quick on his feet", being a combat expert who fights in breathlessly fast-paced battles with his quick cunning. Also to his side are his Crossbow Missiles, which act akin to boomerangs, and his Hyper Shield, which has the capability to block any attack.

Did we mention that he's fast?

A ridiculously extensive redeco of the Maximal Wolfang toy for the Beast Wars Telemocha Series, Wolfang transforms into an organic wolf. In robot mode, his mutant head flips down to cover his normal head. His wolf mode's back becomes a shield, while the tail becomes a spring-loaded missile launcher in robot mode; two anchor-shaped missiles are stored in Wolfang's midsection.
He also comes with a DVD of the Beast Wars episode "Double Jeopardy" (the Japanese dub, of course).
This mold was retooled to make K-9 and Max-B.

Notes

  • Much like Shadow Panther before him, Wolfang is a new character using a previously Maximal mold who was created to make sure that the two factions had equal numbers in the toy line. This principle was eventually ignored with the last release in the toy line being a Maximal without an accompanying Predacon.
  • His CGI artwork (shown above) is exactly the same model and pose as the CGI artwork for the original "Howlinger" toy packaging from 1997, only with Wolfang's new colors slapped on.
