New Galleries: Beast Machines Tankor and Thrust

Those are both pretty sweet toys. Not bad at all

Heeeeey! I resemble that remark!

And I stand by it.

They're so delightfully retro-futuristic! I'm not usually for Cybertronian modes, but I think I'll have to eventually track these Vehicons down.


Thrust is also a lot more... wasp-like than on the show. I wonder why.

Beast Wars Tuesdays continues! We return to the Seibertron.com series of galleries showcasing the products of the 90s that had to do with Beast Wars, Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo - given the anniversary of the first series this year - with the three amigos from Beast Wars II: DJ, Gimlet and Motorarm, and their combined form, Tripledacus.

The Jointron brothers are the Japanese counterparts to the Hasbro Tripredacus set (Ram Horn, Sea Clamp and Cicadacon), and feature cicada/torso DJ, legs/lobster Gimlet, and arms/beetle Motorarm, each with a new deco and available as both a gift set and as single figures - probably for the best, given their obnoxious characterisation in the animated series. Check out the full galleries by clicking on any of the images below!

Andale! ¡Andale! Arriba! ¡Arriba! Yii-hah! ¡Jointrons muy fantástico! ¡Excelente! ¡Increíble! ¡Costa Rica! ¡Puerto Rico! ¡Tortilla! ¡Fajita! ¡Burrito!

I wonder what the Botcon set figures would have looked like in those colors. And also to have a Mexico-themed accessory set would have been the icing on the cake.

You want racist stereotypes? Here you go! Cool decoes though.

In a sudden plot twist, that has nothing to do with international political scenarios, we bring you another instalment on Seibertron.com's Beast Wars Tuesdays... on a Wednesday!

Join us this week as we keep fleshing out the Maximal ranks with not one but two galleries from the loveable but deadly mechanical expert and spiritual core to the team: Rhinox. The rhinoceros alt-mode equipped character comes in two versions for the Japanese Takara Tomy Transformers release, both from 1996 - with C-7 as a standalone packaged toy, and V-7 as part of a two-pack with Predacon Shadow Panther. Both identical in their paint changes, which added black eyes and a grey coat to the Deluxe Hasbro release (check it out here). Click on any image below for the full galleries, and check out more Beast Wars Tuesdays news stories here!

I should note that either deco does not indicate a particular version (single vs. 2-pack). Rather, the tan one is the original release, while brown one is a running change.

Today we bring you some more gallery-tastic content on Seibertron.com, and we move over to Beast Wars II for a look at the Predacon Duke of Destruction, brother of Galvatron, and his later upgrade - Megastorm and Gigastorm, with Gigascouter! Part of the Ultra class of the line, Megastorm is a redeco of the G2 Megatron tank toy, the version here being the one from Showdown of Artillery: Apache vs Megastorm box set; the upgraded Arch-Duke of Destruction featuring the Full Tilt redeco into Gigascouter, on the other hand, is the Cyborg Beast Supreme class Trypticon repurposing, with new added nose horn.

Check out the galleries by clicking on any of the images below, and stay tuned for more Trypticon related content coming soon!
