Comet Creatures That Transform!
Description The Meteorbs represented Mattel's attempt to get in on the transforming toy craze (Transformers, Go-Bots, etc) which took the form of transforming rocks into animals. And just like their illustrious Transforming predecessors, Meteorbs were also shamelessly ripped off of the Japanese. This time, it was a toyline by Bandai called Tamagoras.
The Heroic Meteorbs consisted of Tuskor (pictured here), Cometroid, Astrolion, Comet Cat & Ty-Grrr while the Evil Meteorbs had on their roster: Orbear, Rhinorb, Crocobite, Dinosorb and Gore-illa.
Features Each Meteorb possessed the ability to transform from a smooth egglike shape into some form of animal or robot. The gimmick was fairly simple and didn't require much effort to transform.

Real Name: Kleffton
Originally a blacksmith from the Eternian village of Nordling, Kleffton was fused with an enchanted suit of spiked armor and a mystic trident when he attempted to steal a sacred scroll from the city’s high priests. Banished from his home, Kleffton became an outcast, wandering into the Sands of Time. He was discovered by Skeletor® who saw his natural talent to forge weapons and recruited him to battle against the Snake Men™. Now called Spikor™, he serves Skeletor® by creating new arms and armor for the Overlord of Evil™. Spikor™ uses his spike-studded body and trident arm as mighty weapons!
Real Name: Odiphus
Originally a Pelezean thief named Odiphus, Stinkor® was banished from his village after helping a great warlord named Prahvus destroy their defensive weapons. Wandering throughout Eternia®, curiosity led him to Tri- Klops’ lab deep within Snake Mountain™. There he caused an accident that infused his body with a horrid stench so powerful it drives away even Skeletor’s Evil Warriors. After demonstrating how his stench power could be used as a weapon of warfare, Odiphus was recruited back to Snake Mountain™ and armed with a Power Vest Gas Mask created by Tri-Klops® to funnel his stench directly at foes. Armed for combat and calling himself “Stinkor®,” Odiphus has the ability to stink and destroy with his odor of evil.
Real Name: Vikor™Shortly after King Grayskull’s death, Vikor™, a great warrior from the north was chosen by the Goddess to help protect the Sword of He while all of Eternia® waited for a true heir to be born. Already a master of the battleaxe, Vikor’s legend soon spread across Eternia® as he quested to vanquish evil - battling the remaining renegade Snake Men™ and defending the Valley of Gnarl™ from the Fighting Foe Men™. Although his time as a He-Man® was relatively short, his contribution to the legend will never be forgotten in the great archives of Eternia®.
