...Isn't that Manta [Ray]? I mean the preying mantis who wasn't in the show.

Ahh, thanks! I'm trying to design a humanoid mantis of some kind, thought i'd take inspiration from the one from beast wars.

I love Manterror. No other TF has arms that long with huge spinning blades. Forget close combat, he'll take you out from a few feet away! :grin:

You're right, we dont see much melee combat in transformers... Ah well.

Yeah, Manterror was one of the best of the early BW deluxes, hell of the entire BW line.

Plus his mantis head serves as his robot crotch, how many can do that? :mrgreen:

I miss mine, but honestly, he was extraordinarily top heavy in beast mode. They needed to make his insect legs a lot longer and sturdier. More like a real mantis actually...

Oh yeah, and real mantises make awesome pets.

Gotta love Manterror.

There was also Mantis from Beast Wars Second, who was nearly the same toy, and beast Wars Buzzclaw and all the redecoes of him in universe and timelines.
