CG-11 Machine Robo Change & Glow
Character Bio Japanese Practical Translation: 'Transforms into a shovel dozer. He's friendly, a little clumsy and loved by his peers. He's equipped with a highly-sensitivity sensor that can detect anything under the ground. Adept at qigong, his Special Ability is the, 'Bille Bomber' that creates a sphere of Billemount energy* and strikes enemies. Maximum Power: 7,500 PS Maximum Speed: 100 km/h.'
* Billemount Energy (possibly 'Billemaun') is referred to a number of times in the character bios and while it could be a mistranslation, its representation is consistent. Any further information on this is very welcome.
The details in this character bio were drawn from various marketing sources and combined. Translation is as faithful to the original meaning as possible.
Japanese Instructions Sheet Bio Practical Translation: 'Sometimes he can be clumsy, however he's still loved by his friends. He can scoop and dig up even the smallest/most delicate things from the ground. He is a user of the qigong technique.
Bille Bomber - The inner surface of the bucket is a reflector mirror in which Rye Colloidal is intensively released. The repeatedly reflected Billemount Energy is amplified into a spherical, plasma state. It generates electromagnetic waves that interferes with the enemy's mechanisms and on contact damages the enemy.'
* unsure of the word ライコロイド 'Rye Colloidal', however it seems correct. If anyone has a better translation please let me know! It's also featured in Rescue CG's bio.
Shovel CG along with most of the later released figures does not contain any diecast metal in its construction.
It was also not featured in the TV advertisement, nor was it distributed in Europe as part of Bandai's Robo Machines line; as the first five were.
See CG Robo main index for more general details.

* The incorrectly named Iron Forklift bootleg came with a handgun weapon not included with the genuine figure but did not include the light and sound funtion. The head also doesn't rotate neatly to hide the face.
