I don't think it's a Battle Beast / Beastformers weapon, it doesn't show up on any of the figure images on the websites I use.

Yeah, I was having the same problem looking in all of the archived Battle Beasts pics that I've got. I'm getting geared up for my new Battle Beasts website (PlanetBeast.com). I'm in the process of completing my Battle Beasts collection. I'm only missing 4 or 5 I think plus all of the Laser Beasts but I'll work on those once I get PlanetBeast.com up and running. The Battle Beasts will finally get the official Seibertron.com gallery treatment and the world will finally have some really nice high quality images of the Battle Beasts at last!

Thanks for the help guys. Here's a little Battle Beasts teaser!

Can't wait It's about time the Battle Beasts get some recognition as Transformers canon. Silly question, but how much time does a single photoshoot take for a single gallery, not counting the reshoots and polishing up?

I think I've estimated that it takes about 4 to 6 hours on average from start to finish from the time that I start taking pics of a figure to when the gallery launches on the site. That's why I like to do galleries in bulk for related figures (repaints, waves, etc). The most time consuming part is transforming all of the figures for comparison pics. It's oddly my least favorite part about all of this ... go figure since the primary point of these toys is that they "transform". Obviously galleries like Robot Heroes and Battle Beasts take less time but they still take up quite a bit of time still. It's become more than a full time job.

That long? Wow... Makes me rethink doing it myself

Well, this may be a bit off-topic, but I need to identify the original robot of a KO figure, which comes in a very... weird package:



(saw this on an auction)

Now that is a doozy. A Transformer with Batman? Anyhow, I found a possible match: Victory Gaihawk The overall shape and hinge placement matches perfectly. Although I would have picked Hellbat myself.

I have a really odd pteranadon sort of transformer that is brown and turquoise.(go figure ) I am told he is the mold used for armada swoop but i doubt it? His hands dont fit any of my weapons(unless you count missiles) and he seems to have what was once a sound gimmick. The button doesn't even go in. Picked him up in a charity shop some while ago now.(about 2 years). If i can be bothered and or have time i might get some pics, but in the meantime, PLEASE HELP!!! Gah i am so annoyed that i dont know who he his.

Pics will help greatly, as Transformers didn't really have a lot of Pterosaurs, and none of them had a sound gimmick.

Nope - Air Raid's wing hinges are shorter than where they meet his body, and the hinge where the nose meets the fuselage is lots longer.

Besides, Air Raid's a different type of jet: an F-15 Eagle like Starscream.

Nope, an F-15 jet has rectangular air intakes on the sides of the cockpit and is slighly longer. Note Starscream and the Seekers. If you look at Gaihawk, an MiG-29 jet:

the KO jet is much closer to him in design.

definate Gaihawk, matches my KO one perfectly. (well, mine's pink, but otherwise..)

Found this part on the floor next to my gallery setup. I'm stumped!

Here's another pic of this mystery item ...

I'm going through a collection that I bought last year that I'm going to start putting up on eBay. Here are two more mystery pieces that I'm stumped on.

Flintlock's barrels

and Jackpot's gun.

Sorry, not him. He is more G1 and clunky than that, and has beast mode head, legs , and wings haning off as kibble.
