I'd be mainly interested in Terrorsaur if he comes in the show-accurate Takara running change colors, since I already have the Takara figure but it's misassembled with two of the same fist.

Only use of the Terrorsaur mold I have is Hydra so I'll be picking that up, I have Crazybolt (got him on clearance at BBTS some 20 years ago) so I'll be getting Iguanus, and I don't have the Tarantulas mold at all so I'll be getting that as well. K9 I do have so that's a pass.
So far the reissues have done me a lot of good, it's really helped me pad out my early Beast Wars collection having needed Rattrap, Tigatron, Cybershark, Wolffang, Terrorsaur, Iguanus, and Tarantulas. I still need to pick up a cartoon colors Scorponok, but I have an original so it isn't quite as important, waiting on a clearance.

I think it would be cool if K-9 was a slight redeco of the original, with his yellow fur paint changed to a more realistic golden brown shade.

Transformers Beast Wars Retrax Possibly Getting a Reissue

"'till All Are One"
We came across an interesting e-bay listing. It is for a "Transformers Beast Wars Kenner Vintage Collection Evil Predacon Retrax 220801", by a shop which tends to get the latest Transformers toys. They do not have an image yet but it's written that an image of the 2022 packaging is coming. For those unfamiliar with the toy, we have a gallery of it here.
For now, that's all we have. When we get more info, we will share it with you.

With the high parts count Retrax is, I bet the price will be close to leader class, l8ke Scorponok.
Thank God I already have mine.
This is a bad Transformers, but in a cool and silly way.

Retrax, more than any other figure, deserved something modern and BETTER to come from this:
Not a reissue of the original gimmick-ruined figure.

Gosh, I remember having this toy as a kid.
It's features included "Be a Ball" and "Give hugs." Always wondered why silly bug hug man wasn't in the show when I was little.
I also remember it being a really flimsy toy that didn't quite lock in place correctly.

Funny you should say it like that, as someone elsewhere recently found a 1985 McDonalds Happy Meal G1 Gears in an antique store.Flashwave wrote:So at this point are they just finding molds in antique stores and going “Hey look what I found! Let’s make this one!”

That's quite the find, that promotion only happened in a few states.

Same. And I just scored a Powerhug in box for under $15 on Mandarake so I'm completely set. Although... I might just get this one just to say I have all versions.
I was 17 when Retrax came out and I've always loved that figure. The unique head sculpt, the clear shell, the paint, the roll up feature that's pure genius, it's just a fun toy even if it isn't a particularly great action figure.

Transquito is amazing but the rotating joint of the bug legs at the arms aged badly. First one shattered and and I repaired it. Now it's the second one who just broke on me.
Unless these bugs legs are not meant to rotate at the arm and I messed up?

I have mine too and it's one of those toys that I can't bury in storage.
It's one of those bad toys that their badness actually make them good. Like Armada Sideswipe and his mold brothers.
