Cassie
From Transformers Wiki
| This article is about the human Animorph. For the Autobot reporter sometimes also known as Cassie, see Cassiopeia. |
Cassie is an Animorph, capable of becoming any animal quickly and easily. She believes that all of Earth's creatures are on her side in the war against the Yeerk invasion, and alongside them and her friends, she is inspired to become a wolf, using her morph's strength, fierceness and speed to stop the invaders' insidious plot. After breaking into the Yeerks' genetic experimentation lab, she and her friends Marco and Jake have acquired the ability to merge and become the colossal Tri-Rex through the use of an advanced morphing technique.

Toys
Animorphs
- Cassie/Wolf (Deluxe, 1999)
- Accessories: Raker Claws, Yeerk slug
- Part of the first wave of Animorphs toys, Cassie transforms from what is evidently meant to be a human into a wolf, as well as a transitional third mode combining features from both. Like many Animorphs toys, she has a pair of wolf claws, the "Raker Claws", that attach to her hands like gloves; unlike the other toys, they are not actually necessary to complete her wolf mode (as it has four paws already), though they can still be used in that mode. Her 'transitional mode' head is spring loaded and revealed when a button is pushed. Like all deluxe class Animorphs she includes a rubberized clear-plastic Yeerk slug.
- Tri-Rex (Super, 1999)
- Known designers: Tim Bradley and Masakatsu Saito (concept art)
- Released in the only combiner set released in the Animorphs toyline, this version of Cassie was available in a Super Class three-pack along with Jake and Marco and could combine into the larger Tri-Rex. Unlike most Animorphs toys, this figure has no normal human mode and only has a 'transitional' dinosaur/human hybrid mode. She transforms into the tail and spine section of Tri-Rex, with the enormous tail becoming a rather unwieldy arm mounted whip. The tail is soft and rubberized as it can be bent but straightens out when released as a simple whipping gimmick. The toy is something of a shellformer and has multiple dino chunks hanging off most of her limbs which hampers her otherwise impressive posability.
Notes
- For Cassie's packaging art, a photograph of the actress that portrayed the character in the Animorphs television series, Nadia Nascimento, was used for both her wolf mold and the Tri-rex toy.
