Pounce (1987)
Released in the fourth year of Hasbro‘s US The Transformers toyline (third year in Europe and in Takara‘s Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers line), Decepticon Clone Pounce tranforms into a robotic puma (at least, according to his bio). His robot mode is (mostly) identical to his Clone brother Wingspan (from the front at least). Pounce also has two heat-sensitive rubsigns on his torso: the one on his groin reveals the traditional Decepticon symbol, while the one on his chest reveals a puma head image, indicating which Clone he is. This is especially useful for those times when you can’t just turn him over and see the kitty legs on the backs of his limbs.
His twin “anti-personnel missile launching bayonets” can be held as blasters or as swords, thanks to having dual 5 mm posts. They can be mounted on his back/shoulders or on his haunches in puma mode.
The Chinese release of Pounce & Wingspan, released in 1993, lacks the “puma” rubsign, which has been replaced with a foil Decepticon insignia sticker.
He was only available in a two-pack with his brother/fellow Clone, Wingspan.
