I love Magmatron, I'm so glad I have him, in fact...the only Beast Wars figure in my collection. (So that should tell you something.)
There's a robot mode, a Super Beast mode, and then the individual Dinosaurs.
The transformation is nothing like you'd expect, it's quite intricate and considering how he's constructed...he holds together solidly. His weapons system is neat, it serves as a gun and a sword, and yes...it fires.
The wings on the "Skysaur" (as it's called) actually flap when you pull the tail.
The neck on the "Seasaur" (yes, it's called that...) is fully posable and ball jointed. (A tad long though. I yanked some of the links out of the neck on mine so it wasn't so long...)
The "Landsaur" (no, I've no idea who came up with these names, but it's sad...) is probably the least functional of the three on it's own, it pretty much just stands there, but it looks cool.
Definitely worth a purchase, if you can find one and it's cheap enough, get 'im.

This is the kind of review I've been looking for my friend. Great review!
lol @ the names of the dinos. Generic much?
Yeah, this review has tipped the scale heavily into me buying Magmatron. Hell, I'm even more excited now to find him and buy him.
I'm going to pick him up off BBTS when they come back into stock. My purchase with ToyWiz isn't going so well so far. I asked for Rush delivery and it's hasn't even been shipped in four days! What kind of rush is that?!

Are they that bad?
Damn I hope karma doesn't bite me in the ass this time. If I don't hear anything from them Monday night I'm going to bitch at them until they give me my money back.
Next time - BBTS it is.

btw it is MIB, selling for p 900.00 (my offer to him, sans shipping). that would be like more or less $ 20.00 tops.

Looked him up on eBay and Amazon and I'm very close to buying him, but I want to run it through you guys first. Is he worth the $30-$40 I'm going to shell out for him?
He looks like a fun, simple dino combiner and has a very tyranical look to him. I've just started a BW collection and he will look nice opposite Primal and Megatron.
What do you all think of it?

BW Neo Bad Guy numero uno.![]()
is there a maximal version of him? my BM knowledge is pretty iffy, y'know.
Beast Machines Dinobot actually. And it is the same character as the Beast Wars Neo character. According to the story, Magmatron returned to Cybertron and saw what Megatron had done to the planet, which caused him to switch sides.
Although there is little to no differences between the Beast Wars Neo figure and the Beast Machines figure, aside from the packaging, in general the Beast Wars Neo figure is worth more to collectors than the Beast Machines figure.
No, I meant Dinobot! There was within Beast Machines a subgroup called Dinobots. The first group were created from DNA strands of the Maximal Dinobot from Beast Wars. They didn't side with the Maximals, did fight with them against Megatron and his Vehicons, according to the profiles of the toys. In the second wave there were more dinosaur maximals that joined the Dinobot sub-group and Magmatron was one of them.AbsumZer0 wrote:You meant Beast Machines Magmatron, right? There was no Dinobot for Beast Machines (the closest in name being Hardhead repaint Dinotron).
He wasn't a Maximal either. He kept the Predacon/Destron crystal and was only a 'good guy' in the sense that he wasn't a Vehicon.

Once BBTS has them back in stock he will be mine. Right now I'm waiting on Primal to come in the mail from ToyWiz (man am I ever regretting ordering through them). Tomorrow my gf is graciously going to buy him Takara Rhinox off of BBTS (the clearance price is too good for me to pass up).
Dude, I hope that sale works out for you. What is Magnaboss made up of? Man, what a great price too.

as for prowl, yeah, he is an owl, and i guess they named the lion prowl also as he is in a different series, Beast Wars Neo. sometimes TF naming convention can be sooo confusing...
good luck on your quest to find a MOC rattrap dude. don't forget, i get second dibs if AND ever IF, you find more than one. seriously. no, i am, honestly! haha.

Seriously bro, us collectors have to look out for eachother. Because the scalpers and retail workers sure as hell don't. Its us vs. them.
I'm going to need all the hope and prayer to get a Rattrap tho, lol.
Oh well, mind as well put him on the backburner until I get the rest of what I'm looking for. The TM version will do for now.
BTW how bad ass was Rattrap when he took out Megatron in Aftermath? Megatron rushed him and Rattrap just took him by tripping him with his tail. Pure intelligence is my man Rattrap.
