Title:

Beetle McDonald’s (Robot Mode) 1st

Description:
Beetle (McDonald’s Happy Meal toy, 1996)

Part of the first McDonald’s Beast Wars promotion, Beetle transforms into a stag beetle. His head bears a distinct likeness to the gator-body version of Megatron. His body and transformation, on the other hand, bear a resemblance to Insecticon, though he’s not colored at all like either of them.
He’s made of considerably softer plastic than most of the other toys even in the promo, making him nice and safe for little ones to chew on.

Beetle is likely the result of a proposed toy of Megatron as a dragonfly. While the alternate mode shifted to a stag beetle, the head design remained, giving both Beetle and the alligator version of Megatron (also known as Megalligator) similar heads.

In SD BotCon, Beetle’s body is modeled on the Combiner Wars Legends Class Rodimus figure.
