Anyway, I'll take all the beasts they create, especially if they're done Beast Wars style (the TF:Prime Predacons are pretty cool, but not quite realistic/beasty enough for me to lump them in with Beast Wars).

A proper Beast Wars style raven would be cool (yes, I know all about Rav/Chro, but that thing has no bot mode).

I'd also like a proper bull. They never did one and the closest we got was that one Beast Machines figure. Of course Dairycon would be all over that if they did one .
R.I.D. Bruticus

Ah, there ya go . See, still not Beast Wars though .
However, it was designed to be a Maximal in the Beast Machines: Battle for the Spark line, with the flip up chest panel being where an aborted spark-crystal-activated gimmick would have been placed.

Color me not surprised. That bot and alt mode definitely fit in well with many of the smaller Beast Machines toys.

I know there's already a couple turtle molds, and a fuzor, and all are pretty good, but I would like to see a new turtle on the shelf someday.

Otherwise, how about some more crypto zoological entries? Sasquatch, Mothman, Flatwoods Monster, etc.

What turtle TFs are there?

I think cryptos would be too silly. The idea of a robot "disguising" itself as an animal that doesn't exist and would attract an enormous amount of attention doesn't make much sense. Might as well disguise themselves as... alien robots. Also, don't the TFs create their alt modes by scanning something? How would they scan something that doesn't exist?

Snap Trap, Turtler, Snapper, Halfshell, Terragator (Fuzor).

Don't forget Dado from Arms Micron.

Didn't know about Dado. No articulation from what I can see, but transforms into a shield eh? Cool

. I may have to track him down.

It's no more silly a disguise than the fuzors that have already been made, Rid Bruticus, technorganic beasts from Beast Machines(which included a Unicron), the Beast Hunters Terrorcons, etc.

Plus, we don't KNOW for sure they don't exist

.

Dado's pretty nice. There's sort of articulation from the transformation. You can pose him mid-stroke like he's swimming. Or digging a hole to bury some eggs in. Robo-eggs.

A giant sloth.

It just seems like a good idea.

We need a brand new Smilidon, stat! For those who don't know, it's a saber-toothed cat (not directly related to lions or tigers). Poor Catilla needs an update.

Yes. Now we're talking.

And a manatee.

Wish granted (sorta).

Let me rephrase that: Poor Catilla needs a proper update. :lol:
