Beet-Chop

Beet-Chop is a Mini-Con from an unknown continuity family.

The Blue Beetle.

Beet-Chop (ビートチョップ Bītochoppu) is either a beetle who chops things, or a robot who likes to chop beets.

We're betting on the latter.

• Beet-Chop (Promotional Micron, 2014)
  • Release date: May 17 2014

Beet-Chop is a redeco of Generations Chop Shop in clear blue plastic, transforming into a robotic stag beetle. He also has a third "weapon" mode, which is basically just the beetle mode with a 5 mm handle and the pincers opened on a scissor joint.

He also retains the "mine plow" mode of the original Chop Shop, meant to work in conjunction with the Legends-class Generations Megatron mold.

He was part of the "Clear Micron Campaign", exclusive to Edion, Best Denki, Yamada Denki, and Yodobashi Camera stores, free with the purchase of 3000 yen worth of Lost Age product.

This mold was also used to make BotCon 2015 Beet-Chit.

Notes

• Beet-Chop's blue color scheme is inspired by the package art of the Armored Insect Corps Beetras Beet-Gugal toy that was licensed by Hasbro to become Generation 1 Chop Shop, with the name 'Beet-Chop' paying homage to the 'Beet-[something]' naming scheme of the Beetras line.
• With no bio whatsoever, no fictional appearances, and having the only original character name among the Thrilling 30-molded Mini-Cons released with the Japanese Age of Extinction line, Beet-Chop's fictional placement is unknown.
