I kinda wish Takara would revisit Tripledacus with a new toy, expanded into Quadrupledacus- the body and leg setup would be mostly the same, with Gimlet forming the legs and DJ forming the body, but Motorarm would just form one arm (hopefully making him less of a lump in robot mode), whilst the other arm would be formed by a fembot cricket (not sure on the name. Flamenco perhaps?).

I've never watched BWII but I love the concepts it created, especially the Jointrons. I mean, musical Mexican bug-formers! As soon as my home situation is sorted and I'm able to collect again I must get a set.

Amazing how different the heads manage to look just because of the actual placement of color. Gimlet's got a conventional bug mouth (complete with mandibles) while Sea Clamp's got a ANGRY MARINES Darth Vader-esque triangular grimace.

Regardless of color scheme, Ram Horn's face continues to be both incredibly goofy and creepy.

How about Glowstrike?

I'm a few days late with this, but Motorarm/Ram Horn is a Rhinoceros Beetle (Kabutomushi or just Kabuto), not a Stag Beetle (Kuwagatamushi or Kuwagata). The main way of discerning between the two is the position of the mandibles:

- Rhinoceros Beetles have them vertically, like a Rhino's horn (hence their name)
- Stag Beetles have been horizontally, function like a pincer, and resemble a deer's antlers (again, hence their name)

Just letting you guys know, as many make that mistake.

A new week, another Beast Wars Tuesday! Every Tuesday, we'll be focusing our camera lens on a new set of galleries featuring vintage Transformers action figures from the Beast Wars era. Check back next Tuesday to see our next set of Beast Wars related galleries.

This week, we bring to you a trio of Maximals that were not released as individual toys, but rather as pack-ins for jigsaw puzzles, specifically the Beast Wars Metals puzzles. These 3 were redecos of their previous toys, with Rattrap being an orange and white redeco of his Transmetals body, while Lio Junior was redecoed in either black and red or white and yellow. All 3 were available between 1998 and 1999. Lio Junior is even shown here forming part of Magnaboss, and these gallery images may be the very first images of this version of Magnaboss (albeit the main difference is that he looks like he colored his hair).

Check out the gallery below, and stay tuned for more Beast Wars Tuesdays right here on Seibertron.com!

Beast Wars Metals Rattle Special Version (134 images) - Deluxe Beasts

Beast Wars II Lio Junior (White version) (150 images) - Basic Beasts, Combiners

Beast Wars II Lio Junior (Black version) (133 images) - Basic Beasts, Combiners

I do love that Rattrap redeco. In fact if it weren't for the chrome flaking problem I'd get a TM Rattrap, as I love the look of the mold and all the colour variants look great. Plus he has a literal "rat rod" mode!

I have 3 versions of the rattrap mold, 2 i bought new in the 90s the other i got in a lot off ebay a few years ago and not one of them has any flaking. Most of my transmetal figures have absolutely no flaking at all, dont be afraid to buy them especially if they are mint in box.

So who's up for tonight?

Probably going to skip it this week ... Titans Return came out in full force all at once and had family in town over the weekend and had my in-laws over for the 4th yesterday. Will do my best to have something up for next week. Sorry for not having photos cropped in time!

F&%K YEAH, I'd get it (I think, not entirely sold on it being a tf, but it's certainly glorious regardless)

>Irregardless
REGARDLESS. IT'S JUST REGARDLESS. IRREGARDLESS IS NOT A WORD.

Ahem.

But yeah it is one hell of a design. Looks like a monster from Getter Robo made glorious love to the Zeong from Gundam and then did a cosplay as an aircraft carrier...on treads.

Whatever it is, I love it.

It reminds me of the devil gundam a little - which is never a bad thing :twisted:

The sheer novelty of the design would make it worth it on merit alone, it's just so out there 8-}

A week later responding, but yeah, that's understandable.

If you're taking suggestions I'd personally like to see the rest of the Beast Era McDonald's toys.

Beast Wars Tuesdays continues! Did you think we had forgotten about you? As we recover from San Diego Comic Con news, we return to our regularly scheduled appointment with Beast Wars Tuesdays, and we delve into the latter end of the Western canon: Beast Machines! Check back next Tuesday to see our next set of Beast Wars related galleries.

This week, Seibertron.com brings you a look back at two of the drones in the fairly divisive animated series that followed the Maximals and Predacons' (more or less) return to their homeplanet of Cybertron. Vehicons, Basic class, and the springboard for two of the main Generals, the tank drone and motorcycle drone are smaller versions of the ones used for Tankor and Thrust (and the template for the Generations Tankor figure), and true troop builders. Also part of the Battle for the Spark monicker, you can check them out in their galleries by clicking on any of the images below!

Beast Machines Tank Drone (91 images) - Basic Vehicles

Beast Machines Motorcycle Drone (129 images) - Basic Vehicles

The motorcycle drone looks great! I think troop building figures should be cheaper or come in packs, that way it's easier to build up an army.

News Credits: 3 · by **Decepticon Stryker** » Tue Jul 26, 2016 5:21 am

Also is it me, or does the tank drone look like it's legends class size? It looks really small, even in comparison to the other basic class figures.

Wait a minute.. Who's that lighter blue Jetstorm? I can't seem to find him in any of the galleries.
