Hi Everyone

I have 3 figures that my friend has passed to me. He claimed that these are beast wars toys but I don't think so. They do transform and stuffs but I don't recognize any of them.

Any help would be appreciated!

The first two are from Dinozaurs, which was around at the same time as Beast Wars. In particular they appear to be Dino Pachy and Dino Brachio. The other one is Beast Machines Silverbolt.

Thanks thanks!

Now I can pass these the non-Tfs to someone else. I'll keep the silverbolt though.

I'm pretty Sure Dinozaurs were around well after Beast Wars was gone, maybe around Beast Machines/RiD.

Though I'm gettin' old and my memory isn't quite what it used to be.

It really is no wonder Silverbolt is so ticked off not to be Jetstorm any longer. :SICK:

Though obviously Bandai's "me too!" attempt to capitalize on Beast War's popularity, I absolutely love my Dinozaurs/Dinozone collection. To the point that I went to the lengths to send away for the few Deatheater versions not released in the US just to complete the collection.

The combination of translucent plastic and chrome really appealed to me. And design wise they're pretty solid.

You might want to consider keeping those. The Dino-Pachy converts into a sword weapon that the larger Dino-Brachio can hold, like a minicon kind of thing. Kinda cool.

I was going off Wikipedia, which said it started in '98. Allowing for a year or two for it to be localized.....yeah you're right, it was probably during Beast Machines. I remember watching it as a kid, but I don't remember when.

I agree, Dinozaurs were really cool-looking. I was only a kid, so I never got very many of them, but freaking dinosaur skeleton robots, man.

WHAM BAM IT'S A DINO JAM

Not the best Saturday morning cartoon out there, but it was decent.

never even knew there was a cartoon, but I had the Chinese dragon type one, which was a kind of silvery-grey colour, who I had as a stand in for BW Megatron for a while.
