- Dillo (Deployer, 2000)
- Dillo is a purple and blue mechanical armadillo. He features a quick-change transformation into a sort of catapult and a mace-shaped "bollo" missile. (Judging from the shape of the missile, "bollo" is probably a typo for - or pun on - "bola".)
- Dillo (Deployer, 2001)
- The "running change" redeco of Dillo retains all his original features, but now in red and blue. The color changes were not reflected on the packaging, which still showed the original colors.
Notes
- The redeco of Dillo was—according to store listings—originally supposed to be named "Trench", just as the other two redecoed Deployers were to be renamed. Why this plan changed is unknown.
