I'm putting together a shelf with Beast Wars characters in their Cybertronian molds--essentially, any form that wasn't the one featured in the show, but definitely inspired by it. RID Paralon is a great example of a modern-day Scorponok. Can you think of any other molds (third party or otherwise) that I've missed? Here's what I have so far: MAXIMALS Bat Primal = eHobby LG-EX Convobat Optimus Primal = BotCon 2006 set | BW 10th Anniversary mold Cheetor = BotCon 2006 set | Animated TFCC exclusive | Device Label Tigatron = BotCon 2006 set | Device Label Rhinox = BotCon 2006 set Rattrap = BotCon 2006 set Airazor = TFCC exclusive | BotCon 2016 souvenir Buzzsaw = Cybertron Buzzsaw Magnaboss = BotCon 2016 souvenir TM Tigatron = BotCon 2016 souvenir Depthcharge = TFCC exclusive Transmutate = TFCC exclusive TM2 Blackarachnia = Animated Blackarachnia | PE-DX02 Aranea Leo Convoy = TFCC exclusive | Universe Leo Prime | Perfect Effect Leonidas Longrack = Cybertron Longrack Apelinq = BotCon 2014 Knights 3-pack Primal Prime = BotCon 2014 custom figure PREDACONS Alligator Megatron = eHobby head (from LG-EX Convobat) with TR Skullsmasher body Megatron = BotCon 2006 souvenir | BW 10th Anniversary mold Waspinator = BotCon 2006 souvenir | Animated Waspinator Dinobot = BotCon 2006 souvenir Blackarachnia = LG-17 Blackwidow Scorponok = RID Paralon Quickstrike = DOTM Darksteel Terrorsaur = BotCon 2016 freebie Tarantulas = TFCC subscription exclusive Rampage = TFCC exclusive Ravage = BotCon 2016 set TM Tarantulas = BotCon 2016 set Tripredacus = BotCon 2016 Predacus TM2 Megatron = BotCon 2016 souvenir TM2 Dinobot = Beast Hunters Ratchet Shockaract = BotCon 2015 souvenir Sky-Byte = BotCon 2010 set | Generations Sky-Byte | KFC Haiku (odd one out, I know, but his mold was a TM2 original, so what the heck ...) Can anyone think of stand-ins for Inferno or any other figure inspired by Beast Wars--original, BWII, or BW Neo?
Seeing that almost all of the BotCon 2006 figures are there, you can paint up a Cybertron Scrapmetal as Inferno, as that was the custom class figure that year.
Transmetal Scavenger? Maybe that's too obvious. Energon Quickstrike is lanky and red but would need a bit of modding, cover up his Autobot symbol, paint his head or perhaps swap it for something more suitable that fits?
Yeah that would make a good Inferno with a new head. You could sort of configure the drone pack thing to be like his thorax booster.
