Damn you, Japan! Heinlad sounds like one helluva Transformer.

Figure for Heinlad, one of the Transformers from Japan-only animated series Beast Wars Neo. I came across this guy while searching for Tanooki images yesterday.

Check out his Wikipedia description:

“Heinlad usually acts dazed and vague, often talking with a lazy and nonchalant style. He has a clock in his stomach, which gives him the ability to manipulate time.

His super secret skill is being able to stop or stretch time for a limited duration, but there’s a flaw in this ability: he still can’t control it at will. Heinlad’s past and combat abilities are surrounded in mystery. …

His beast mode is also unique, being based upon the tanuki or raccoon dog animal. The most notable feature of said animal was amazingly large testes which, according to Japanese legend, the tanuki used as both seat and as drums. This trait is reflected on the toy as two round objects right underneath his clock belly that become hip pads in robot mode, one of which contains his spark crystal.”

Here’s a review for the figure!
