Released in November 2023 as part of Wave 2 in Wal-Mart's exclusive Night Force assortment, the Mole Rat was originally revealed by Emily at the 2022 MCM (Movies, Comics & Media) London Comic Con and immediately there was a ton of chatter about what it could actually be (fan theories were all over the place as to what or who it could actually be). He was finally confirmed to be an all-new Cobra trooper that works underground to mine for Dark Energon (a tie-in to the Transformers universe). The Mole Rat is mostly all-new, though his upper legs above the boot-cut and his crotch sleeve are clever re-use from the Roadblock buck. The details on his torso and head sculpts are fantastic and he has all-new accessories which really makes the character a great addition to the Cobra ranks. A very neat little easter egg is the fact that the Dark Energon crystals on his unmasked head, the Dark Energon inside his cannister and his eyes on his mask actually all glow-in-the-dark!
The Mole Rat comes packed with the following gear and accessories: a backpack with air hose (the hose is not removable but does attach to his breathing mask), a removable re-breather hose (that attaches from his mask to his pack hose), a radiation scanner, a cannister (which can be stowed on his backpack and also glows-in-the-dark), a drill with (2) interchangeable attachments (a rifle and a drill bit) and an alternate unmasked head (the crystals glow-in-the-dark). Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

Easy 10 for me. This figure is so much darn fun! I hope more new characters like this are introduced into Classified as they really help build the Joeverse and lore. Emily wasn't kidding when she said Lenny had a lot of fun designing him. I love the glow-in-the-dark feature too.

Yeah I liked this guy so much I kept 3 of them. The glow in the dark is fun as is the inclusion of the hammer drill, which is a very familiar tool. I took off a point for the hose which I wish was made out of a different material so you could move his head around without it falling out.

Another 10 as far as I'm concerned. His build was impressive to me, so I turned him into an adversary for (the inevitable) Blowtorch ... and maybe put to use some of his other parts.

It's 10 for me since I'm into Hazard-Vipers which got me into post-25th collecting. It's one of the few figures I picked up two of.

It's very good. Articulation is good
looks good. The Glow in the dark feature is very innovative. 9/10 The butterfly joints are prone to popping out when you first open the figure. If you see this, Heat and pop them back in.

Bumping up the Mole Rat for more votes. One of a few brand-new characters in Classified up to this point, were you able to pick one of these guys up? Did he meet expectations? How many did you get? Share your thoughts and please vote if you can!

I got my two and I'm giving him a 6. I wanted to rank him higher, but there are too many nitpicks for this to be a higher ranked figure. First, I do like the design and the fact that they are Cobra Mining Troops, since we haven't had anything like that before. I'm not all that interested in the "zombiefied" head, as I don't think zombies need to be added to EVERYTHING... they're stupid in Star Wars and they're stupid here.
However, I didn't take off any points for that. What I did take off points for was the hose system for the masked head. The hoses are too small and hinder movement of the head. I also took off a point for there not being any paint on the scanner device. A nice light green paint on the screen and a little paint on the buttons would go a long way. Instead, it's just a non-descript hunk of black plastic. I also took off a point for the drill bit section being all bent in the box... and it even came wrapped in protective cardboard, so the gumminess strikes again. Finally, I had a QC issue on one of my Mole Rats in which the pouches to his lower torso were glued on crookedly.
