...so are these guys technically GoBots?

• Tonkanator (Multi-pack, 2022)
  • Accessories: Laser pistol, Tonkanator's left fist, "Target Shooter" projectile launcher, missile

• Known designers: Brian Parrish (Hasbro)^[1]

Collaborative "Autobot Mega Dozer" is a yellow-and-black Tonka-branded redeco of The Transformers Bonecrusher, transforming into a bulldozer (possibly a Komatsu D155A). The toy can also form an "attack bulldozer" mode by attaching the "Target Shooter" (loaded with the missile) onto the posts on the vehicle mode hood. The Target Shooter can also become launcher or drill weapon attached to either arm in robot mode.

While previous uses of this mold as Bonecrusher included a "Rotor Blade" projectile identical to Scavenger's, the Tonkanator set includes only one Rotor Blade and assigns it to Scavenger's redeco Power Digger. Mega Dozer instead receives a smaller missile normally associated with Mixmaster, which is noticeably too long for the launcher, causing the tip to not sit flush.

Mega Dozer was available in a Target-exclusive six-robot gift set with Power Digger, Motor Load, Autobot Skyhook, Mega Hauler, and Motormix, all of whom can combine to form Tonkanator; Mega Dozer serves as the super robot's left arm. This set was officially revealed and put up for pre-order on June 24, 2022.
