In the U.S. Beast Wars line of toys, Magnaboss is a Maximal formed from Ironhide (an elephant), Prowl (a lion), and Silverbolt (an eagle). This character did not appear in the cartoon series, though as his counterpart Tripredacus did appear (as the Predacon ruling council), many fans believe that Magnaboss is the 'Maximal Elders' that are oft-mentioned in the show.
Bio: A new breed of super robot blasts its way to the head of the Maximal battle lines with three times the fighting force! Prowl's ferocity, Silverbolt's swiftness, and Ironhide's strength team up to form Magnaboss - a triple-power threat capable of annihilating any Predacon enemy, even the ultra combative Tripredacus. Magnaboss owns the battlefield, arming itself with a massive megaton battle sword composed of Silverbolt's razor-tipped wing swords and Ironhide's blunt-force battle clubs mounted on Prowl's cyber tail claw. If two heads are better than one, Magnaboss is way ahead of that game... times three!
