Toys
- Heinrad (1999)
- Japanese ID number: S-3
- Heinrad transforms into a tanuki. Tanuki in folklore are usually depicted with massive testicles which they can drum on. Heinrad's testicles are rather large for a Transformer (IE: he has some), but quite small for a tanuki. His articulation, while good, does not allow him to drum on his testicles. In tanuki mould he can also hold a bottle of sake (tanuki are drunks) and a book of IOUs (they're also cheapskates who never pay anyone).
- In robot mode Heinrad can combine his folklore accessories to make a gun which can be held in his right hand. His missiles can be mounted on his calves, or fired with the gun. In this mode his testicles hang from his hips and his spark crystal is located in his right ball. Heinrad's weakness is clear.
- In both modes Heinrad has a working analogue clock in his chest. He functions as an alarm clock -- pull up on his robot or tanuki head to activate him, then push down to turn off the alarm. He's very shrill.
