Product Information

The Kingdom line is dramatically lighter on Generations Selects products than the previous two entries in the trilogy, partially due to the technically Kingdom-released Deep Cover and Generation 2 Ramjet being branded as part of the previous Earthrise line. D-44 Metals Tarans(メタルスタランス)("Transmetal Tarantulas" in the original USA toyline): Show-accurate redeco of USA Transmetal Tarantulas, Tarans's New form, Beast mode is a Transmetal tarantula. In Japan, "Rattle" was similarly released in the first wave of Takara's Beast Wars toyline in July 1997, and was basically identical to the Hasbro version. However, in January 1998, many first-wave toys were re-released with altered decoes to make them more show-like. For Rattrap, this mainly meant his robot mode head got a humongous glob of shiny copper paint (that didn't really match his copper plastic in tone). This copper was also used on his hands. His beast mode eyes were changed from yellow to red, and dark gray paint was added to his rat nose, although oddly the paint operations on his rodent teeth were dropped altogether. Dirge and Thrust were on the bridge of the Galvaburg II, watching Starscream's plan to get the Insectrons wasted on super-strong oil unfold. No one noticed Galvatron awaken from his coma and dig into the spiked oil, until all the Combatrons had to flee from their drunken emperor. The Strongest Tag Team? After the Combatrons' several failures to eliminate the Insectrons, the Autorollers stepped forward to take the assignment. Starscream was worried the Autorollers would succeed and outshine his accomplishments. Dirge and Thrust, who had no accomplishments to speak of, said to let the Autorollers have their shot. Autorollers Roll Out! This release of Dinobot came with a DVD containing the Beast Wars episode... "A Terrifying New Weapon!", the Japanese dub of " The Probe" and not "Code of Hero".

While beast-mode Transformers had been around since day one, those were robotic beasts. Beast Wars characters took on the appearance of fully-organic creatures, which also affected their robot-mode looks: while there were "metal" parts, the designs were much more rounded and organic in shape if not texture, the aesthetic inspired by Japanese series Guyver. [1] Faces tended towards the bestial or just straight-up inhuman, even moreso with the first year toys's secondary " Mutant Heads". Beast Wars took the popular features of a handful of Generation 2 toys and made them standards across the entire line. Heavy use of ball joints gave the figures unprecedented degrees of articulation, often greater than that of the "normal" non-transforming action figures of the time. Robot-mode weapons were either part of the toy's alternate mode, or at least stored inside them rather than needing to be set aside (and more easily lost). Both of these features would become standards for basically every Transformers line to follow. Accessories: Cyber Shield, Dino Sabel, 4 robot faces, beam effect, Golden Disk, disk stand, disk adapter, base adapter (beast mode), base adapter (robot mode), base A, base B, base armD-43 Metals Terrorsaurer(メタルステラザウラー)("Transmetal Terrorsaur" in the original USA toyline): Terrorsaurer's New form, Beast mode is a Transmetal pterodactyl. Beast Wars 10th Anniversary Dinobot came with the left arm to the "build-a-bot" figure Transmutate, plus a DVD containing the obvious Dinobot-themed episode, " Code of Hero".

This toy was repurposed as Generation 1 Dirge in the Collectors' Club magazine comic arc Beast Wars Shattered Glass. Dirge and Thrust congratulated Megastorm on his latest plot to flood Gaia with automated fortress drones, far too many for the mere six Maximals to destroy. When they told him how grateful Galvatron would be for his work after the emperor awoke, however, Megastorm grew angry and stomped off. It was left to Starscream to explain to the duo how Megastorm had ambitions of his own beyond serving Galvatron dutifully. Galvatron Revived This year, the line basically split into two sub-groups. The "normal" beasts became Fuzors, robots whose beast modes were mashups of two different animals, leading to some freakishly fanciful creatures. Fuzors were limited to the Basic and Deluxe price-points.EC-1 Eggleo(エッグレオ): redeco of Jaleon(ジャレオン) from Mashin Hero Wataru, Alt mode is a yellow egg, Robot mode is a yellow mechanical lion. Some Dinobot figures drain the battery power unusually fast, with some owners reporting that batteries died less than two days after installation and with minimal use.

Oddly enough, the Optimus Primal figure included with this set is unmistakably colored to represent the Maximal leader's gorilla body, while the Megatron figure included the Arachnid playset, Orcanoch's Predacon counterpart, represents the Predacon leader in his alligator form. Guess Primal got around to upgrading his body before Megatron did in this micro-continuity... Masterpiece Dinobot transforms from a show-accurate Velociraptor to a show-accurate robot. It scales correctly with the other Masterpiece Beast Wars figures. Unlike Primal or Cheetor, Dinobot features printed details and a coat of chip-resistant paint, making him a lot more durable.

Part of the second wave of Beast Wars 10th Anniversary product, the original Transmetal Rattrap toy was given a slight deco modification for better show accuracy: mainly a brighter, more neutral gray plus a Maximal sigil on his chest (the latter ironically making him look less show accurate). He came with the right arm to the "build-a-bot" Trans-Mutate, plus a DVD of the episode " A Better Mousetrap"... an episode that, oddly enough, features Rattrap in his original organic body. C-47 Powered Convoy(パワードコンボイ)("Optimal Optimus" in the original USA toyline): Show-accurate redeco of USA Optimal Optimus, Metals Convoy's New form, Beast mode is a Transmetal gorilla. Sold in the tenth wave of Beast Wars II products, "Dirgegun" is an extensive retooling of the original Beast Wars Deluxe Class Waspinator mold, transforming into a cyborg bee and has a Predacon energon chip in the center of his chest. The beast accessory released with Clobber also has more than a passing resemblance to Snarl's Dinobot Action Master partner Tyrannitron, though, whether this was an intentional nod or just pure coincidence, is yet to be seen.

D-3 Waspeeter(ワスピーター)("Waspinator" in the original USA toyline): Show-accurate redeco of USA Waspinator, Beast mode is a wasp. D-4 Tarans(タランス)("Tarantulas" in the original USA toyline): Show-accurate redeco of USA Tarantulas, Beast mode is a tarantula. I have forged this toyline into a single, elegant machine. A vision of GEEWUN purity. And you mongrels would dare contaminate that vision with your accursed Beast Wars!" Megatron: Megatron mingled his spark with Galvatron (then the still original Megatron)to become a dragon. This toy was released with the Transmetal 2 line, despite being a regular Transmetal. C-42 Metals Cheetus(メタルスチータス)("Transmetal Cheetor" in the original USA toyline): Show-accurate redeco of USA Transmetal Cheetor, Cheetus's New form, Beast mode is a Transmetal cheetah.Right: Let's hide the legs in beast mode by making them bright translucent orange! (Second Takara version) Though there are some colors dropped between the transition from CGI model to toy, Telemocha Dinobot does currently hold the prize for the sheer number of paint applications used on this mold, and by a large margin. Perhaps most significant to many fans, however, is that this version of Dinobot has a mouth, if only in the form of a paint operation. Dirge and Thrust battled the Tako Tank at an Angolmois Energy trap Galvatron set for the Maximals. Gigastorm's Treachery They finally outdid Starscream by capturing him and BB on film talking about how they tried to kill Megastorm when he was transformed into Gigastorm. They showed this footage to Gigastorm, who devised a plan to rid himself of Starscream. The End of Starscream
