BeastMasters,check out my Transformers toy line idea in this thread.

The BeastMasters TF Toy line idea is as follows: regular transformers toys that transform from robot mode then into vechicle alt modes. THE GIMMICK WOULD BE CALLED BEASTMASTERS. BeastMasters would be animal partners that don't transform into robot modes. instead the beastmasters would only have a animal mode that can break apart in armor pieces that the transformer can wear in both robot & vechicle modes.

The theme will be each regular sized transformer finds his INNER BEAST SPIRIT. the BeastMasters will be like the minicons. the beastMasters will be old & lost cybetronian technology that was lost Millions of years ago. the beastmasters will be scattered all thru the universe. the regular transformers will do hunts & searches trying to find the beastmasters. OBVIOUSLY THE REALLY BIGGER BEASTMASTERS WILL BE MORE HARDER TO FIND & ADD AS ARMOR. THE Beastmasters that will be the hardest to find will be the two voyagers & two leaders sizes that can transform in robot modes & break up into armor pieces for the regular sized TF toys to wear as armor pieces.

he Beastmasters will have sparks & lower intelligence than the regular transformers. just imagine minicons intelliegence. the beastmasters won't be able to talk in words. like the armada minicons the beastmasters will make sounds to talk. instead of minicons beeping sounds to talk,each beastmaster will make animal sounds to talk & try to communicate with the regular transformers. OBVIOUSLY WITH EVERYTHING THEIR WILL BE SOME ELITE EXCEOTIONAL BEASTMASTERS THAT CAN TALK IN WORDS. I want the exceptional two voyagers & two leaders beastmasters that can transform into a robot mode then break up into armor pieces to be able to talk.

the transformers beastmasters toy line will consist of all the toy line sizes from basics,deluxes,voyagers,ultra's,leaders & supremes.

The price points will have to be a bit more due to the beastmasters gimmick. basically each transformer will come packaged with a beastmaster. like armada toys were pacakaged with a minicon. like Some PCC core leaders came packaged with a minicon. like how some actionmasters were packaged with a animal partner or transforming vechicle.

the beastmasters will come in all sizes like basics,deluxes,voyagers,Ultras & leaders sizes.

maybe they'll be two rare beastmasters that are leader sized & can transform into his own robot mode. and ofcause break apart into armor pieces for the regular leader sized transformer toy like megatron or optimus to wear his armor pieces.

the beastmasters will be able to attach to any sized transformer toy. they'll be a minicon styled ports on the regular TF toys.

the bigger the regular transformer,the more beastmasters will be able to attach to him.

the Beastmasters will be able to break up into the following armor pieces: chest plate,boots,forearms,outer robot head helmet,weapons like guns,swords,shoulder canons,backpack wings,waist plate.knee pads,animal claws for the regular robot forearms,shoulder armor,etc.... OBVIOUSLY THE BIGGER THE BEASTMASTER,THE MORE ARMOR PIECES+WEAPONS HE'LL HAVE TO ATTACH TO THE REGULAR SIZED TRANSFORMER.

most beastmasters will be sold as partners & get included with a regular transformer. HOWEVER,Their will be some beastmasters partners that are sold seperately by themselves in the basic,deluxe,voyager & leaders size levels.

all the basics in this toy line will consist of beastmasters. their will be no regular basic sized transformers.

the supreme sized transformers will be city formers. like fortressmaximus & scorponok. the city formers will have tons of ports on them so that a whole bunch of different beastmasters can attach to them via armor parts+weapons.

like I said,they'll be a few exceptional beastmasters that can transform into a robot mode,then break apart into armor pieces for regular robot toy to wear as armor pieces. EXAMPLES: (1)Leader sized lion beastmaster toy. that can transform into a robot mode then break up into armor pieces for the regular leader sized toys like optimus or megatron to wer as armor pieces. (2)dinosaur T-Rex beastmaster leader sized toy that transforms into a robot mode,then breaks up into armor pieces for the leader sized regular transformers like megatron or optimus to wear as armor pieces. (3) they'll be two different voyager sized beastmasters that are flying animals that can transform into a robot mode,then break apart into armor pieces for give regular bigger sized TF toys winged backpack armor flight modes. like the regular transformers thar are ultra sized or leader sized or supreme sized.
(4)ofcause the supreme sized city bots will be able to wear all armor bots armor.

Umm... no.

First of all, what you plan would be VERY difficult to engineer so that EVERY figure could wear EVERY armor. Secondly. a figure that breaks apart? Way to get kids to lose all the pieces and Mom and Dad won't wanna get them, so not worth HaTak's time. Thirdly, sounds like the armor "bots" would be bought separately from the 'regular' bots, which means more expense, which means no. And finally, I do NOT like beasts, myself, so meh on the entire idea from me.

About the only way I can think of for your idea to work at ALL... already exists. It's called "LEGO".

I know what you're thinking of but it wouldn't work in TFs, at least not in the United States. It works for a generic anime line (*cough*Saint Seiya*cough*) that could be designed around the entire premise but it wouldn't be a good fit for Transformers. Plus, why would an alien mechanical life form have a spirit animal, let alone a terrestrial one? In Beast Wars they didn't have inner animals, they had altmodes that allowed them to mimic animal instincts and skills. It sounds like an idea from Transformers: Zone. It might've flown in Japan in the 80's-90's but in the States, even back then it would've gone over about as well as Animorphs did. Sorry, man.

This reminds me a lot of the earlier Mugenbine lines.

Beasts partnered with vehicles ... while I would get the lulz out of G1'ers and Beasties screaming their rage at such an idea ... beasts with vehicles just doesn't sound like a good combo.

But safety issues aside, the idea would have merit, but maybe with other vehicles that break up and form armour.

Beasts and vehicles just sounds like a wrong combination.

In Beast Wars they didn't have inner animals, they had altmodes that allowed them to mimic animal instincts and skills.

Not quite true. There was that one episode where they got stuck in beast mode and Tigertron told them to accept the beast side and integrate it or something.

If I say 'Leozack', do I win this?

Yea, in the show the animals used for their form certainly had some kind of influence over them, some characters more so than others. Inferno really had a an animal personality. Tarantulas seemed to act out being a spider at times too. As well as many other examples through out the series.

One word: TransTech.
