Formplanetmars bestiary #10 -- TAMA-5 .
A popular hero from the 90's era, TAMA-5, (reffered to as"Tama-GO" by true fans) surged in popularity. After transforming into his armored EGG form, TAMA-5 must also stall for an additional 5 minutes before his true fighting form is revealed. He uses his "EGG" form to lure his foes into a false sense of security whilst also learning their strengths and weaknesses. TAMA-5 then emerges from his egg armor into a situation specific "Hatched" form for another 10 minutes. Most fights after acheving these forms are over in less than a minute. .
Now that sounds needlessly complicated, but kids at the time LOVED this gimmick TAMA-5 toys sold out in stores across the planet! But sadly, times change, and what worked 20 years ago doesn't exactly register with kids today.
Tune in to Friday's post for more on the backstory of TAMA-5 and where he exists in a new era of heroes and villains.
