One of the most beloved television shows in the Transformers franchise, Beast Wars also had one of the most cherished toylines, with several solid figures that still hold up today (unless they have crumbled like Transmetal Megatron). Fans ask Hasbro year after year if we will be seeing more Beast Wars characters remade and, with the exception of figures like Generations Rhinox and Rattrap, we have yet to receive Classics updates for many of our favorite Beasties. Many have speculated that part three of the Prime Wars Trilogy will focus on Beasts, which could mean several new remakes of classic characters. So let's say Hasbro brought you in to come up with a year's lineup of products focusing on the Beast concept. How would you do it? Guidelines are : * 8 Legends Class Figures (2 of them must be repaints/retools) * 12 Deluxe Class Figures (3 of them must be retools/remolds) * 6 Voyager Class Figures (1 of them must be a repaint, retool) * 3 Leader Class Figures (1 of them must be a repaint/remold) * 1 Titan Class Figures (same size as modern Titan Class figures) Here is my list: *Legends : - Maximal Manta Ray (New Mold) - Predacon Iguanus (New Mold) - Maximal Razorbeast (New Mold) - Predacon Spittor (New Mold) - Predacon Gas Skunk (New Mold) - Maximal Air Hammer (Heavy Remold of Manta Ray) - Predacon Slapper (Retool of Spittor) - Maximal Claw Jaw (New Mold) *Deluxe Class : - Maximal Cheetor (New Mold) - Predacon Waspinator (New Mold) - Maximal Rattrap (New Mold) - Predacon Tarantulas (New Mold) - Maximal Wolfang (New Mold) - Predacon Scorponok (New Mold) - Maximal Prowl (Retool of Wolfang) - Maximal Tigatron (Retool of Cheetor) - Predacon Blackarachnia (Extensive Remold of Tarantulas) - Predacon Terrorsaur (New Mold) - Maximal Airazor (New Mold) - Predacon Agent Ravage (Repaint of Tigatron with new headsculpt) *Voyager Class : - Maximal Optimus Primal (New Mold) - Predacon Megatron (New Mold) - Predacon Dinobot (New Mold) - Maximal Silverbolt (New Mold) - Predacon Inferno (New Mold) - Maximal Grimlock (Retool of Dinobot with new G1 headsculpt) *Leader Class : - Predacon Cybershark (New Mold) - Maximal Depth Charge (New Mold) - Predacon Sky-Byte (Retool of Cybershark) *Titan Class : - Maximal Magnaboss (consists of 5 voyager class Maximals : Ironhide, Prowl, Silverbolt, Polar Claw, and Snarl) Thoughts and ideas?
Legends Class: Wave 1 Prowl (New mold) (Combines with Silverbolt and Ironhide to form Magnaboss) Silverbolt (New mold) (Combines with Prowl and Ironhide to form Magnaboss) Ironhide (New mold) (Combines with Silverbolt and Prowl to form Magnaboss) Wave 2 Ram Horn (New mold) (Combines with Sea Clamp and Cicadacon to form Tripredacus) Cicadacon (New mold) (Combines with Sea Clamp and Ram Horn to form Tripredacus) Sea Clamp (New mold) (Combines with Ram Horn and Cicadacon to form Tripredacus) Wave 3: Razorclaw (Remold of Sea Clamp) Lio Junior (Redeco of Prowl) Note: The legends class Maximals and Predacons are interchangeable. For example, you could combine Ironhide, Cicadacon and Lio Junior. Deluxe Class: Wave 1 Optimus Primal (New mold) Cheetor (New mold) Airazor (New mold) Tarantulas (New mold) Wave 2 Tigatron (Remold of Cheetor) Botanica (New mold) Beast Machine Rattrap (New mold) Scorponok (New mold) Wave 3 Terrorsaur (New mold) Blackarachnia (Extensive remold of Tarantulas) Ravage (New mold) Beast Machines Silverbolt (Extensive remold of Airazor) Voyager Class: Wave 1 Dinobot (New mold) Inferno (New mold) Wave 2 Silverbolt (New mold) Wave 3 Megatron (Extensive remold of Dinobot) (Crocodile) Optimus Primal (New mold) (Fruit Bat) Wave 4 Beast Machines Cheetor (New mold) Leader Class Wave 1 Depth Charge (New mold) Rampage (New mold) Wave 2 Vengeance Depth Charge (Recolor of Depth Charge base off of Universe toy) (Includes Skywarp, redeco of Legends Class Silverbolt) Titan Class Wave 1 Transmetal 2 Megatron (New mold) Skywarp is included with Depth Charge because that's the only place I could think of to put him. BM Cheetor is a Voyager because... He's awesome. Also, I have no idea if crocodile Megs would actually work as a retool of Dinobot, but it isn't happening anyway so whatever.
Careful what you wish for or Mr bay might reboot beast wars.. next thing you know Cheetor transformers into a bunny rabbit, smokes a never ending cigar, pees on things randomly and duel wields 14 miniguns
Those are some good ideas but..... your list needs some better planning theres way more beast wars characters to use than just using some beast wars characters and beast machine characters. For example here'so some problems optimus primal should be voyager,a titan class transmetal 2 megatron would make no sense at all that would be way out of scale, an optimal optimus should be in the leaders, same with TM2 megatron, the 3 bot BW combiners are way too small, you missed the in voyagers and put beast machines cheetor, and etc sorry if this offends you in any way just i seriously have some problems with that list...
Aren't lot of this list I can agree with but the titan class not so much I honestly would love to see the 3 bot combiner they were unique to being rather instead
Legends wave 1: Optimus Primal, Lioconvoy, Megatron(transmetal), Legends wave 2: Nightscream, BM Rattrap, Diagnostic Drone Legends wave 3:Burning Convoy, Flash Lioconvoy Note: Megatron is intended to scale with MP 10 to re-enact Agenda pt3, and The Convoys will make sense in relation to the Titan Class figure. Deluxe wave 1:Tigatron, Airazor, Terrorsaur, Scorponok Deluxe wave 2: SIlverbolt (airazor retool), Quickstrike, Tarantulas, Blackarachnia(us release of legends) Deluxe wave 3: Ravage (retool Tigatron), Botanica, TM2 Cheetor, Carnivac (sotw) Voyager wave 1: Optimus Primal, Megatron Voyager wave 2: Depth Charge, Rampage Voyager wave 3: Shockaract (rampage redeco), Inferno Leader wave 1: Optimal Optimus, BM Megatron Leader wave 2: Nemesis Primal (desaturated colours on OPOP, with Megatron face.) Titan class: Majin Zarak, with legends class Galvatron (Bw2nd)
And people thought Megatron not turning into a gun was bad. Rattrap could end up turning into a bear, have an Australian accent, and be the bravest of the Maximals.
Am I really the only one who isn't so pessimistic about Bay's interpretations of different characters? Also, what fool would hear the name "Cheetor" and NOT think it's cheetah-related? Even if there are screw-ups from time to time, no Bay movie has gone THAT far.
Rattrap, Airazor, Claw Jaw (squid), Snapper (turtle), Armordillo, Razorclaw (crab), Packrat (Rattrap redeco) Ikard (Claw Jaw redeco) Cheetor, Tarantulas, Scorponok, Terrorsaur, Waspinator, Bonecrusher (bison), Cybershark, Gator Megatron, Bat Primal, Tigatron (Cheetor retool) Blackarachnia (heavy Tarantulas retool) Lazorbeak (Terrorsaur redeco) Optimus Primal, Dinobot, Rhinox, Inferno, Jetstorm (bug), Grimlock (Dinobot retool with new head) Megatron, Razorbeast (mighty pig) T-wrecks (Megatron redeco) Tidal Wave (whale)
Tigertron just growls randomly and everyone understand him somehow, with a minor line of "something something broken voice chip mumble mumble " to explain it away.
