Am I the only one who loves Whirl's colors? It looks better than the Hasbro version.

I'd army build the hell out of them if the alt mode looked more like the show. As it is, I'll have this and Hasbro's Tankors in bot mode on the shelf and my 4 smaller Hasbro Deluxe Tank Drones in tank mode representing the army of drones.Delta Magnus wrote:Looks pretty good!

Takara's been doing more show accurate paint schemes on the Beast Wars figures pretty much since the beginning. In fact, I just acquired this for my collection (although on my 'cast' shelf I have a kitbashed custom representing Terrorsaur in bot mode) and that's back from 1997:Delta Magnus wrote:Also, am I the only one who finds it funny that the Japanese releases of the Beast Era figures are (mostly) infinitely superior to the Hasbro ones, in spite of the Japanese dubs of Beast Wars and Beast Machines being utter abominations? Even the Japanese thought it was awful IIRC.

edit: Sorry, it looks like TFU doesn't like linking to their images. Anyway, it's the version on this page under Variations.

The first year had them all be identical to Hasbro's, the "show-accurate" variations appeared in the second year and are much rarer. Terrorsaur commands an especially high price, reach $200 MISB easy.
