Tripledacus
From MediaWiki
| This article is about the Maximal combiner and ethnic stereotype. For the Predacon combiner and political council, see Tripredacus. |
- Tripledacus is a Maximal Jointron combiner from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Tripledacus (トリプルダクス Toripurudakasu) is the fusion of the three jovial Jointron brothers, DJ, Gimlet and Motorarm. He is taller than the Predacon Emperor of Destruction, Galvatron and equal in strength to the Maximal Supreme Commander, Lio Convoy. He is loaded with weapons and is a near-invincible warrior who gives any Predacon a run for their money.

- This figure is a redeco of Tripredacus, formed from DJ (torso), Motorarm (arms) and Gimlet (legs). He was sold both as separate components and in a giftset.
Notes
- Tripledacus's name was romanized in English as "Tripredacus" on at least two Japanese trading cards, casting a shadow of doubt over the English-speaking fandom's interpretation of his name as possessing an "L". Despite that, his English name was officially canonized as "Tripledacus" by IDW's Beast Wars comics.
- TakaraTomy reissued two of Tripledacus's components, namely Gimlet and Motorarm, as part of their Beast Wars Telemocha Series in 2007, but omitted DJ from the line-up. Therefore, the only way to complete Tripledacus from the Telemocha releases would be by using an original DJ toy.
