    Rattrap was the first figure I thought of. He was my first ever transformer and that 1 step gimmick never stops being fun. Maybe there are ‘better’ figures but I really think he’s an essential part of any Beast Wars collection.

    Maybe so. I was always a sucker for the non-show figures in particular, maybe because they didn’t have to live up to any cgi models. I’m just the sort of guy who picks Wolfang over Cheetor and Manterror over Scorponok. They’re all great toys though.

    i voted Rattrap because he's the only one put of those i have. (Even if he's missing a leg.)

    From what I read on TFWiki just now, it seems the blue eyes were the rarest of the lot.

    Got MP Dinobot and MP Beast Megatron a couple of days ago, and damn am I impressed. I was going through a bit of buyer's remorse during the wait, but these guys are absolutely worth it.

    My primary Beast Wars shelf is coming along quite nicely.

    Poor Megatron is relegated to a random shelf until we get more predacons. Been rewatching Beast Wars, and I now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an MP Inferno to go on a shelf with "the royalty".

    So happy to add this TM2 Megatron to my Beast Wars MP’s :)  He is so intimidating and impressive! The presence and size, the paint and build quality. Yesssss!

    I was searching for some shark characters in Beast wars and machine wars toylines, and Cybershark captured me, but nothing as the shock when I found that in bot mode he has the same face of Sky-Byte from RID! After a speed comparison between them I've bought Cybershark, in alt mode his scars exposing circuitry render him scary and he has very similar alt mode to Sky-Byte.I'm very satisfied Cybershark appears a nice toy and although I was a little too old to appreciate RID when arrived, I still found Sky-Byte a memorable character.

    After this toy I plan to buy some other beast TF's.

    Sky-byte was actually a repaint of the transmetal 2 cybershark, which is why you will recognize some similarities between the two characters

    Man that was a close fight. 27:33. Surprisingly, Razorbeast/Claw Jaw was even closer with 30:27. I wanted to make sure that the Razorbeast/Rattrap match up was fair. I never even imagined Razorclaw would be so close.

    Don't worry, You'll have a shot at Rockbuster before this is all over.

    Yes! Rockbuster is the best deco of the mold. Interesting data though...

    Anyone else only mildly interested in this? I think it'll look decent in my MP BW shelf, but something a bout the bot mode face doesn't look right.

    Looks good, but only buying Legends scaled BW figs or TT MPs.

    Speaking of, finally got my Neo unicorn: Killer Punch. Done with Neo now.
