Title:
Wolfgang
Description:
Wolfang (Deluxe Class, 1996/1997)
Takara ID number: C-9
Accessories: Tail/launcher, back/shield, 2 missiles
Part of the second assortment of Hasbro Beast Wars Deluxe-class toys, Wolfang transforms into a timber wolf. In robot mode, his wolf mode’s back becomes a hand-held shield, and his tail becomes a spring-loaded missile launcher; two anchor-shaped missiles are stored in Wolfang’s midsection. As with all first-year Beast Wars toys at the Deluxe class and up, he has both a normal robot mode head and a mutant head: in his case, the mutant head is a visor-like mask that flips up and down over his robot face. When his mask is up, he has a chin that would make Derrick J. Wyatt proud.
By transforming his shield and replacing it on his back, his gun can peg into the shield’s handle for storage in robot mode. This potentially doubles as an inefficient "Attack Mode” for his wolf mode, as the gun is facing backwards.
The Takara release of the toy, in the fourth wave of Beast Wars product in December 1997, appears to have no notable differences from the Hasbro version.
This mold was redecoed to make the Predacon also named Wolfang (pronounced "vol-fang”), and retooled to make K-9 and Max-B.
