    So, interested in dipping my toes into this Legends scale with Beast Wars. For space and my mental thinking of scale with G1. :p 

    I did some digging. Are these my current options?

    TE Rattrap and Blackarachnia
    IF Baldigus
    IF TM2 Megs (preorder)
    IF Optimal Optimus (preorder)
    IF Lio Convoy (preorder)

    Toyworld TM Megs

    Anyothers? No Black Convoys?

    Thanks!

    They're articulation probably won't be up to par with modern legends-scale stuff, but there are Spy Changer versions of RiD Optimus, Ultra Magnus, and Scourge.

    Actually have those!

    So what I listed are pretty much my only options?

    Transform Element is definitely the main name to follow when it comes to accurately scaled, show accurate Legends BW figures, and with luck they'll do every character from the cartoon (or at least the entire first season). Scorponok is currently their next in line after Rattrap.

    I’m keeping an eye on these guys too. Just wanna know if they’ll push on. I’d like a cast of beast wars (not the transmetal versions though, proper beasts)

    To my knowledge there are no RID Legends while those listed are currently the only available 3rd party Legends BW figures. Although TE have also announced a Scorponok.

    Do note that if scale is important (and going Legends for BW because in your mind that fits best with G1, suggests that it is for you), both IF Optimal Optimus and TM2 Megatron are likely too small to fit with the other Legends BW figures. Those two were really big in the show.

    From Transart (I think) there was also a downsized Robotmasters original Optimus Primal that maybe could fit with Legends. Maybe. And they had an Optimus Optimus (downsized from het original that is probably a better scale with figures likes TE Rattrap and Blackarachnia). Maybe the official RM Beast Megatron could work, but not sure about that.

    The design isn’t right, but I have the IF Nemesis Prime standing next to the IF Baldigus and they look great together.

    I paid an extreme premium for the Maketoys Battle Tank Nemesis, so I think I might stick with that one I guess.

    Once my credit card statement closes for the month, I'm going to get the IF War Giant Catastrophe. That'll be my first Iron Factory purchase so down the rabbit hole I go....
