Beast Wars

Every generation of Transformers has that hard-to-find, super-rare piece. Generation 1 has the packaging variants for the Targetmasters and test-market giftsets, Generation 2 had the unreleased G2 Stunticons and Protectobots, so it's only fitting that Beast Wars has one of its own - Green Ramulus. The figure was itself was created all the way to the testing phase, with only four known figures existing. Now you can have a chance to own a rare piece of the Beast Wars collection.

Chris Ryall has posted a preview image from the upcoming Beast Wars Profile Books on the IDW Forum. The preview shows the profile for the Predacon Bazooka, a character from the Japanese series Beast Wars Neo, and it appears to stay very true to his original bio while reconciling him with the established US Beast Wars continuity.

The long-awaited story from Transformers guru Ben Yee (with an assist from Pete Sinclair) is available on The Official Transformers Collector's Club website available for members only. It features the tale of the Club Exclusive Airrazor in her very own story and features all-new art by Jake Isenberg and Thomas Deer. Ben Yee is working with Simon Furman on the upcoming IDW Beast Wars profiles books and was a consultant on the Beast Wars show!
