Gobots Packaging 'From the planet Quartex come Shock Rocks; rock warriors with awesome might! Magmar has called in Stone Hook and Rock Shot to aid him in his attempt to take over the planet. However, Rock Roller has joined Boulder's forces and is ready to defend his home. It's a battle between good and evil. Who will win? The answer is shocking!
Robo Machine Packaging 'From the planet Quartex come Shock Rocks! Introducing three heroic warriors helping Boulder defend against the enemy. Magmar has enlisted the power of these three monstrous villains - who will win?'
Dragon Stone was not released in Japan or Australia and was not packaged with a separate weapon or accessory.
It was designed by Bandai and is stamped Bandai and Japan inside the shell either side of where the head folds in. It's unknown whether Bandai had planned to release this model for their Ganseki Chōjin line and decided not to or if it was designed specifically for Tonka.
