ok, so ive recently become ADDICTED to the show, and now im dying to get the toys. thing is im nearly broke, so i plan to get only one toy per character (cept maybe Primal) and heres what i figure so far Owned: Airrazor-Armada version Silverbolt-Purple Universe Depthcharge Plan to get: Cheetor-Universe 2.0 Dinobot-Universe 2.0 Rhinox Universe? (im waiting to see if they make a Universe 2.0 of him too) Optimal Optimus Waspinator-Animated Inferno do you think those are good? and what are the best representations of these: Megatron Tarantulus Blackarachnia (might use Animated...) Quickstrike Skorponok Terrorsaur Rampage Optimus Primal Rattrap Tigatron (will he be a repaint?) Maybe Tigerhawk any opinions? Show accuracy is a huge plus. also, do you think Animated Blackarachnia and Waspinator are good choices? Pictures of suggested toys would be helpful
Dont get universe cheetor, Buy either Transmetal Or Transmetal 2, get Transmetal Tarantulas and Animated Blackarachnia. All 3 Megatrons are good but I like the Transmetal version, get Henki Henki Dinobot, Scorrponoks first figure is really good same with Quickstrike and terrorsaur and Rampage is an EXCELENT figure.
Japanese bw rampage is the best if u can get him. More show accurate. Any that u listed I would get the bw version if u can, Japanese bw 2 and neo are great too, ill post some pics if u like of my bw figures or search my name deceptigtar under collections to see! Seeing some pics might help.
These are some of my favorites: Rampage TM Tarantulas TM Megatron TM2 Black Arachnia TM2 Dinobot2 TM2 Black Cheetor Repaint Inferno Tigerhawk TM Cheetor Can't think of the rest right now
My future squad is this TM Optimus - TM Cheetor - TM Rattrap - Rhinox - U. Dinobot - TM2 BlackArachnia - Depth Charge - Silverbolt - TM Megs - TM (metals) Tarantulas - 10th Anni. Waspinator - Inferno - Ravage- TM2 Dinobot -
Here's my thoughts on the best version of each Beast Wars character you have listed: Megatron- definitely the Transmetal version. Or, failing that, the Armada Predacon repaint. But be careful with its arms. Tarantulus- the Transmetal version is superior. Blackarachnia- I'd suggest the Transmetal 2 Version; I liked it more than Animated. Quickstrike- There's really only one of him, a Basic size but its very good. Scorponok- Definitely stick to the Beast Wars version; great toy. Terrorsaur- Not really worth it in my opinion. Rampage- If you already have Depth Charge then you MUST get this guy!! He's awesome. Optimus Primal- I'd have to say the original Ultra-sized was my favorite. Tigerhawk's a great mold too; you should definitely consider it. You'll also need a Rattrap. I suggest the Transmetal version.
If you want both Cheetor and Tigatron, I'd suggest you get the Transmetal Cheetor mold (I own the Armada repaint) and then get Tigatron too. If you get the original Cheetor toy, Tigatron is just be a repaint of that.
AH!!! i forgot to put up Rattrap, which is what spurred me to make this thread in the first place-any suggestions on which toy for him as well
Megatron : The Toys R Us 10th Anniversary Ultra or the 10th Deluxe or the Transmetal Tarantulus : Transmetal or the Fox kids Transmetal Blackarachnia (might use Animated...) Animated is Good so is the Beast Wars Returns one Quickstrike : Only one choice really he's really cheap usually Scorponok : Only one choice -he's not always easy to find though Terrorsaur : I like the Beast Machines remold of the Transmetal best or the Japanese Basic Rampage : Metals version is by far the best version. Optimus Primal : RID Supreme Primal - but I quite like the Cybertron deluxe one too Rattrap : Transmetal - perhaps the metals or the 10th Version is - best. Tigatron (will he be a repaint?) The Japanese reissue is the best one Maybe Tigerhawk :Only one choice really. I like him but he's a little fragile WARNING : NEVER LEAVE YOUR RAMPAGE IN TANK MODE FOR LONG THE TRACKS WILL SPLIT OR FRACTURE.
This thread is FoW. I'm looking to pick up the 'definitive' versions of the BW Characters in the coming year. So far I've decided to go mostly with the '10th anniversary' characters...the Primal and Megs from the two pack are BEAUTIFUL. I NEED those... I had the Transmetal figs back in the day, and, like a moron, sold them. Oh well, have to jump back in the pool I guess.
At this point, I would stay away from the TsM Megatron because of the brittleness issues. The original Megatron design was more to scale vs the other toys and with the 10th ani re-issue should be available at a reasonable price.
Yeah, be very careful if you get a TM, the brown part suffers from brittleness already had to fix mine once and almost broke again. the 10th anniversary pack of the original Ultra Primal and Megs are the best deal for each character I think. Own a large chunk of beast wars but for each character go for TM if they have one or just the one closest to the show.
The Japanese version of TM2 Megatron (Metals) does not suffer from GPS, so try to get that one if you want that toy. Also, please check my sale thread, as I'm unloading some of my extra BW stuff. I'll cut you an insane deal, as I'm looking to just clear this stuff out. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/items-sale-trade/197224-ams-ongoing-sale-thread.html
Heres my list...tell me what you think...any that I don't have on here that I 'need'...any on here that aren't the best? Optimus Primal: 10th 2 pack Megatron: 10th 2 pack Rattrap: 10th anny Rhinox: 10th anny Air Razor: Transmetal Tarantulas: Transmetal Blackarachnia: TM 2 Dinobot: Universe 2 Rampage: Transmetal Cheetor: Universe 2 or Transmetal? Waspinator: Transmetal Tigerhawk: Only one version, right? Tigatron: White Depthcharge: TM
Well for Optimus and Megatron you really can't get any better than the 10th Anniversary two pack. Great scuplts and the remolded heads for both of them are awesome. Rampage is a great toy, as well as Quickstrike. I don't have any of the BW versions of Blackarachnia but I really like the Animated version of her (except for the open molded hands, not a big fan of that at all). TM Terrorsaur is pretty decent IMO, and TM Rattrap is a must have. I have the Armada version of the TM Cheetor mold and its not bad, I don't really like the TM2 Cheetor mold so I can't recommend that.
IMHO, the best BW toys overall are: TM2 Megs TM1 Megs TM1 Primal TM1 Waspinator Tigerhawk Tripredacus I have quite a few MIB (opened) BW toys for sale BTW.
