And about Rattrap - seriously, who would really really think he would be the most sought after BW? I'm sure his figs were warming the pegs at one point or another.

I'm cursing myself for not keeping my BW toys close throughout my childhood. Who knows where those valuable pieces of plastic are.

Sooo who is this Lio Convoy I've read about? Can someone throw out a backstory?

oh man dude, what a wasted childhood! *gasp*

you - - - lost your - - - - beast wars figs?

oh man, feelin' for ya dude. maybe they're still there, in your house, who knows, eh?

anyway, Lio convoy's kick ass also. he's like the leader of the maximals in the BW:Gathering comics. he transforms into a lion, though his alt mode's kinda imbalanced, having the whole big lion head on one shoulder... spiffy lookin' bot though.

don't get too attracted to him, he don't come cheap!

Flash Leo Convoy is on BBTS for $30. It's basically a nice looking, slightly clear version.

But the toy is average from what I've seen and heard. The RM version looks a lot better, and it's smaller.

I really want a a Cybertronian Leo Convoy, as seen in the Gathering. He looked badass.

The best of the beasts, huh?

Damn it, this is a hard choice... I prefer realistic beast modes, but they ddn't make many of them, and some of the more mechanical beast modes are nice toys too, like the BW10th/Jungle Planet Megs mold. The Big Convoy/Nemesis Prime mold is fairly nice too, and has a nicely convincing beast mode... It's always bugged me a little that beast transformers can almost never use their alt mode as a disguise, but the majotity of vehicle transformers can. Tarantulas and Waspinator have some nice molds, too. I like the BW10th vs set with the head remolds too, very nicely done.

Like I said, hard to pick, those are the ones that spring to mind at the moment though

Does TM2 Tarantulas count, seeing as his alt mode is about 50/50 spider/motorbike?

In plain animal only:
BWX Megatron is a hard figure to go past, especially if you were a Dinosaur nut like I was/am.
Inferno and Waspinator are excellent BW figures too.
Snarl from Cybertron is also top notch.
