Beast Wars

[Cudboy]

I remember when I first came across the initial assortment of Beast Wars toys way back when - there had been no press on the impending release, no advertising what-so ever, and the television program was quite some time off. All I recognized at first was the an assortment of transforming robot toys and the distinctive series banner upon the packaging; I had no idea what I was looking at. Released by Kenner, I actually thought these were knock-offs, stealing the names of some of my beloved Transformers - I had no idea that Kenner was now part of Hasbro, and this was the revival line of Transformers itself! Hell, I was even planning to voice my outrage officially to the powers-that-be!!

Beast Wars was an interesting line. There were some truly great figures (Transmetal Megatron) and some utter abominations (Injector). All in all, a pretty pleasing series. I have most of the Australian-released toys, barring one or two. They don't possess the same level of class as their Generation 1 predecessors, but they do represent a intriguing evolution of the line. Messy at times, but inspiring the resurrection of Cybertron, they have to be admired. Yeah, I can say I dig 'em.

I do have some of the figures but I can't say I'm all that enthusiastic about them. It's one of those lines that is just to hit & miss.

(( Hey, now what the heck happened to my last post?! *sigh* Is Gaia seeking to thwart me in the forums yet again...?! gonk ))

I only got a few of the toys. I'm more a fan of their artwork (in the series) rather than the toys. G1 toys are more to my fancy. 3nodding

I have around 50 of them. My favorite is still Waspinator, because he's just so damn cool in the show. His toy is kinda weird, but I still like it.

Remember the old Beast Wars toys? They transformed and everything. I had several of them. Both versions of Rat-trap original and transmetal 1, the transmeta 1, Cheetor, and the transmetal 2 Jawbreaker. Never got the transmetal 2 Cheetor, i wanted him pretty badly. That and Silverbolt. Anyone else collect these? I still have all of mine, how about you?

I have several figures.
