099 Cluckers

Cluckers is a dude in a chicken suit.

There are three versions of his original G1 (armless) dude.

There are many versions of the G3 sculpt, since he was part of the first Zoods Crew (which had lots of variants).  This also means there are four versions of his zood -- a scary little egg monster named Benedict. 

Eggs Benedict.  Get it?

Benedict looks a whole lot like a Digimon character known as Digitamamon.

Cluckers has a third sculpt in the Special-Ops series.  This is the one with the magnetic hand and the random accessories.  A variant of this sculpt (with blue and white camo) came in a Magnetic Action 3-Pack with Duke and Bonz.

Cluckers has a fourth sculpt known as Aztec Cluckers.  Here, he was pitted against Aztec Bull in the Last Dude Standing playset.

I think Aztec Cluckers may have been released again as part of the Zoods Crew.  Aztec Bull was released in Series 6 with a zood called Eclipse, which looks like a serpent pet rock.  I have not identified all of the figures from Zoods Series 6 and 7, and that is why I am not sure if Aztec Cluckers was released with a zood (or even what that zood could be).

Aztec Cluckers was definitely re-released in 2008 as part of G4.  This was within a wave of warrior-themed figures.  Aztec Bull was re-released in this wave as well.  Basically if you find an Aztec Cluckers (or Aztec Bull) with magnetic feet, it is from G3.  If it has plug-feet, it is from the G4 Street Crew (and will also have "Spin Master" as part of the mold). 

Finally, there exists a fifth sculpt of Cluckers -- dressed as a reindeer.  This was a special holiday promotional figure with only 500 made.
