    I always figured Slammoth would be a good American name for Big Convoy. I mean Slammoth Prime has a nice ring to it.

    Is it weird I think the Rock Lords would fit in Beast Wars?

    SCYLLA IS OUT! I repeat! Fan-favorite Scyllia is out! She had been beaten by a one-off, over-priced, Botcon bottom feeder! Oh, the humanity! Oh, the Cybertronity! When will this mockery of justice end? Also, holy crap, but y'all sure do love your Buzzclaw.

    Round 2 is now live. Go vote.

    My process is simple. Beast-formers take priority over vehicles, and if they’re both beasts then the one with more articulation/play value takes priority. I only break this for specific characters I prefer.

    So my last post said I’d work on making some add on kits for some beast wars figures, I am still considering this but I’ve despised id like to make some life size beast wars props.. starting with Rattrap a detonation pack (I think that’s what it’s called) hope you like it! I’ll keep everyone updated on my progress with printing and painting it etc.

    With how Hasbro's getting into Crossover lines it'd be awesome if for Jurassic Park's 30th anniversary they'll do a Beast Wars and Jurassic Park crossover line up,using the Kingdom BW molds as a basis for the many Dinosaurs of both Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies as well as using WFC G1 molds for the vehicles.

    Jurassic Park/World T-Rex from BW Megatron
    Jurassic World Blue from BW Dinobot
    Jurassic Park/World Pteranodon from Terrorsaur
    Jurassic Park 3 Spinosaurus using TLK Scorn as a base.
    Jurassic Park Jeep from Siege Hound
    Jurassic Park Van from Earthrise Trailbreaker
    Jurassic Park Copter from Siege Spinister.

    Opened my MP Primal up for the first time in a while and found some paint chipping on his face. Anyone have some suggestions on how to clean it up?

    Is it actual paint chipping, or just smutz?

    I would try a white-ink pen. See if that works.

    I first wrote this story back in 2014-2015 as the culmination of my Transversal Continuity that I'd been working on for the best part of a decade by that stage. I pitched it to IDW in 2015 as a 4-issue miniseries to celebrate the Beast Wars 20th Anniversary the following year. Given the sheer lack of official recognition the Anniversary received, it won't surprise you to learn that I was unsuccessful.

    Towards the end of last year, I began reworking the story and pitched it again. This time, in what is good news for Beast Wars fans (but disappointing to me on an individual level), IDW already had plans underway for a Beast Wars story to celebrate the 25th Anniversary next year.

    So rather than the scripts sitting in the bottom draw gathering dust, here they are in all their world-shattering splendour for you to enjoy. Click on the icon above to have a read. Cheers and enjoy!
