Transformers as pre Beast Mode figures

Postby TK415 » Sat Feb 23, 2013 1:52 pm

Which Transformer toys would make good pre Beast Mode or Beast Wars figures?

The 2006 Botcon Pre Beast Wars figures are awesome. And the new ones are interesting.
Dark Steel is a vehicle form/homage for Quickstrike.
DOTM Airraid is Cybershark, Stingray749 found that one: things-your-transformers-can-do-that-you-never-realised-t67369s1530.php
Animated Blurr became Cheetor

This gets talked about in a number of different forums but I wanted to hear some more of your thoughts and to consolidate them. Here are some that I thought would work:

DOTM Skyhammer – Silverbolt
As soon as I saw Skyhammer I thought he looked like Silverbolt. Ubertenorman thought the same thing and did a nice custom paint: dotm-classics-bw-silverbolt-t81502.php

Depth Charge – Sea Spray HFTD

Prowl Owl Black – Tomahawk HFTD

Terrorsaur – Thrust Generations (color, his TM2 mode has wing fans like Thrust)

Ravage from BW CG cartoon, not Ravage from his toys – Vehicon PRID (black, sleek, stealthy)

Antagony – Crankcase DOTM

Skyshadow Fuzor – Obsidian BM

Magmatron – Tidal Wave


What others have you seen or thought of? I would love to hear and see them. Any Beast Wars figures or any Beast Mode figure from a different line.

I think Prime Knock Out is a lot closer to Terrorsaur.

Like the idea of Tidal Wave as Magmatron, wouldn't mind that as a repaint.

Even better than Knock Out that we have now would be Beast Hunters Starscream. Someone even did a digibash and it looks FANTASTIC in Terrorsaur's colors, even if it looks horrifically bad in the current deco. :lol:

Also, Tidal Wave does seem like he'd be a very appropriate choice. :)

Yeah, Beast Hunters Starscream is a great fit, robot mode has a lot more similarities to Terrorsaur.

Weapon: Twin Sonic Cannons
I always thought that HFTD Terradive would be a good pre-BW Terrasaur if given a red colour scheme.

definitely, and BH Starscream looks good, but I still say KnockOut is the best candidate without doing any customisation work. BH Ratchet looks like a pretty clear Dinobot homage, so he'd probably be a good pic if you can't get the Botcon version. The colourscheme isn't anywhere near it, but PCC Sledge gives me a decidedly BW Scorpanok vibe in robot mode.

Knockout is a excellent match – the colors, the angles, the face, the head crest. Solid match.
