A redeco of the Beast Wars Maximal Armordillo, Psycho-Orb transforms into a large Brazilian armadillo, with a single-step spring-loaded transformation. His rear beast mode legs detach to form weapons; a non-firing blaster and a spiked-ball-and-chain.

Unique to this version of the mold is the clear-plastic solitarium "weapon", the "Calamity Defenser" shield. This item can be combined with the other Decepticons' solitarium weapons to form the mega-weapon Arsenal Force.

This mold was also used to make Bump.
