- Beastbox is an Autobot Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
A Mini-Con mercenary for hire, Beastbox thinks of himself as the king of the jungle, but nevertheless will work for for anyone willing to pay him in Energon bananas. Way to play into the stereotype, Beastbox. His vast strength and concussion cannons make him a match for even full-size Transformers.
