    As soon as I get Mutant Tigatron, I was planning on adding him to this group. I also have the DNA Designs kit preordered and I was planning to put the mutant mask it’s coming with on Nemesis Primal.

    Honestly, I wasn’t even thinking of them as SG versions at the time. I was thinking of them as from a dark alternate timeline where the Maximals broke bad for some reason, and since I was planning for them all to have mutant masks, some form of corruption, whether be it by Unicron or the Vok or whomever was what I was thinking. SG just kinda summed up evil versions of good Transformers from an alternate universe.

    That said, I was thinking of adding Skywarp to the group as an evil Airazor. He’s just sitting in the box I got him in and I can’t think of how else to include him in my collection.

    In the Beast Wars they say, That Dinobot's small heart grew three sizes that day.

    Quick request for anyone that has the necessary figures. Can someone take a shot of the original deluxe Cybershark with some of the Kingdom Predacons? I'd like to see how he'd look as a stand in Sky-byte

    That's exactly what I wanted, thanks! He actually looks pretty good with the Kingdom figures and once the reissue hits (if it's real) he'll get repurposed as Skybyte :thumb

    LOVE original Cybershark! Did you know he can wield his smiley-bite missiles a la Fuzor Silverbolt?

    Yep, he definitely was awesome. Sadly he's one figure I never owned back in the day

    I had a buddy that "raced" against me to collect them all when they were retailing... Cybershark was the ONLY one he never got, out of the whole BW line.

    That's impressive. I had a handful of figures but never went for all of them. Allowance wasn't that much at the time :lol

    I learned to budget because of it... those cool looking Spawn toys, and Marvel action figures, and video games... all avoided for "the mission." And "the mission" was not always rewarding... Lookin' at you, Retrax.

    For those that didn't see, there's been an update in the BM scale chart. The previous model was not accurate. Here's the completed Beast Era guide which should be more reflective of reality.

    Can you name them all? :p

    Exactly. Gigastorm has two distinct sizes. His shrunken size, which we usually see him as, and his true size, which he uses for combat.
