Beast Wars Neo Rartorata, repaint of BW Injector.

Yes, I love him because he was so out there. Him being a Herald of Unicron in Neo was just icing on the cake.

Told ya. Here's another:

BW Neo Drancron, repaint of BW Sky Shadow.

Sadly, I don't have this guy to round out the trio:

BW Neo Elphaorpha, repaint of (the GPS-infected) Torca

I LOVE INJECTOR!

So much that I bought him TWICE. One to play with, another to keep MOSC.
Also, he was cheap.
I really love how he's kind of a Frankenstein creation.

I looked into the links and I ask: WHAT THE HELL WITH THESE MARIE-SUEISH TECH SPECS?!
Seriously.

The three I linked to were Heralds of Unicron in Beast Wars Neo. surely their insignia would have tipped you off.

Herlard of... OH FOR ***KS SAKE!

I'm going to look into a more logical and reasonable fiction.

Like the Alternity line.

Sweet merciful crap!! I think of all the 3 that first one is the worst. Looking at Rartorarta makes me think..."you are one ugly...(monstrous voice)...MOTHERF***ER!!".

No

OK, final one for me:

Beast Machines Deluxe Optimus Primal




Had to get him when I saw him at C.O.N.S., and love him to bits. Don't ask why, maybe it's the blue, translucent plastic, maybe it's the fact he's a Deluxe-sized Prime, maybe it's the fact he's so (unjustifiably) overlooked...

O, who am I kidding, I love under-appreciated figures.

I don't have him, but I quite like that mold. Whilst I don't think he makes a very good Maximal leader, he does look like one of a swarm of Maximal drones, the Gorillabots or something. He has a really cool bestial look, and I love the energy frisbee.

Not bad, definitely easier on the eyes than the 3 retina blasters you posted earlier

Well I got 2 from the DOTM line and I don't recall seeing them. The first one is Darksteel which I quickly thought of as pure crap. Then more and more I would see it at stores I would look it over every time, but walked away. Then during the holidays I got it for $6. I think it's a great figure despite his lame-ass weapons. I know a lot of fans didn't dig some of the paint apps. Personally I don't see the BW fig it represents but it's an awesome fig and I dubbed him Condor cuz of his bird-like head sculpt...IMO.

The other is deluxe Soundwave. The majority of fans thought it was crap and that the Human Alliance version was far greater...I think not. Though it could have had better paint aps and better engineered the figure is still a good one. Despite the transformation flaws and barley acceptable weapon it's a fun and cool looking TF...IMHO.

Both Darksteel and deluxe Soudwave have been passed up by most. And though I too was quick to wright them off I'm never too proud to admit that I was wrong about these two...'nuff said.

Soundwave was hardly passed up by most. Hardly anybody could get him.

Indeed. Not only was it released only in Asia, most people think twice before paying 90$ or 70$ for a deluxe DOTM figure.

Hell, the Human Alliance is CHEAPER than the deluxe! So I bought the HA for 60$ shipped for my Soundwave collection. Even with his derpy legs, it's a great robot with a nice car mode. Plus, a cute little Laserbeak and that bad guy as a bonus. Legend HFTD Ravage goes well with them.
Truely, the more bangs for your bucks as far as the DOTM Asian exclusives goes
=============================


By the way, I really like DOTM HA Leadfoot. You can easely cheat with his transformation to make him look better. I love little fat guys Transformers! Plus, his doggy is adowable. He's pretty cheap and is available in may clearance stores for around 20$ with the taxes. Even on Ebay you can have a HA Leadfoot for less than 40$ shipped. You have no excuses to miss out.

What the hell, get HA Roadbuster too while you're at it. Unfortunately, no HA Topspin exist. Still, I got that nice diecast toy car that act as a great stand-in. Only 2$ at a trhift store! That was a lucky find.

i managed to get on and i love him. he may not have fancy paint and sure he has a lot of back kibble but he is pretty cool. he mechtech weapon turns into a satellite dish, how cool is that?? also the mechtech gun looks good in both modes. he has good light piping, and good poseability

Energon Slugslinger. Hell, even I bash him for his flaws, but he's a neat figure!

I have never seen a Slugslinger in the flesh, but I love the figure. Cool alternate mode, nice robot mode, nice colour scheme...

Why don't people like it?

Ok, can't resist posting this:

BW Magnaboss


I have the BWII one, with extra paint and a red and white face. He looks so majestic, even if Ironhide/Santon basically forms a "suit" for the other two What sites can't agree upon is how to do the tusks, what I do is have them stick outward from the ears, making use of the otherwise neglected joint there.

I'm scared of transforming Silverbolt/Skywarp in gestalt mode though as he has GPS...

that's one of my favourite figures, Ironhide being my least favorite of the trio, still a great looking combiner

I have that one too! One of my very few BW figures left!
I do like him, although I get annoyed at Prowl's transformation for the gestalt mode every now and then, as it just seems to happen, without me having ever figured out the right, straightforward way of doing it.

Madre de Dios!

I can't even pronounce their names, much less look at them.

Magnaboss is...well, BOSS! Such a great combiner, even if he is really fiddly.

As for Slugslinger, I think it typically comes down to it not holding together well in robot mode.

RAcast wrote:As for Slugslinger, I think it typically comes down to it not holding together well in robot mode.

If you can actually get him to robot mode

ROTF Deluxe Soundwave

It is HORRIBLE the way the second face is standing there like a cancer and the sat-mode is nothing like in the movie (I think) plus the jet-mode which was non-existent.
And then what i've heard: that he's small for a deluxe.

But still, it is my first "big" Transformer and I like posing it. The wings and shoulder details and the moveable three toes give you possibilities.

Delta Magnus wrote:I have never seen a Slugslinger in the flesh, but I love the figure. Cool alternate mode, nice robot mode, nice colour scheme...

He's alot like Classics Galvatron, overly complex, really fiddly, wont stay together perfectly in either mode, etc. I'm able to overlook those flaws personally.

Also, ROTF Rampage. How can anyone dislike any of the ROTF Constructicons? They are all so monstrous and unique. Yeah, they're a few peas short of a pod, and wont combine without superglue, but that doesn't mean they aren't awesome. I see alot of flak concerning the Constructicons, but its always poor little Rampage who gets the most
