Ahh, thanks! I'm trying to design a humanoid mantis of some kind, thought i'd take inspiration from the one from beast wars.
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:27 pmI love Manterror. No other TF has arms that long with huge spinning blades. Forget close combat, he'll take you out from a few feet away!

Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:39 pmYeah, Manterror was one of the best of the early BW deluxes, hell of the entire BW line.

Plus his mantis head serves as his robot crotch, how many can do that?
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2007 4:19 pmI miss mine, but honestly, he was extraordinarily top heavy in beast mode. They needed to make his insect legs a lot longer and sturdier. More like a real mantis actually...
Oh yeah, and real mantises make awesome pets.

There was also Mantis from Beast Wars Second, who was nearly the same toy, and beast Wars Buzzclaw and all the redecoes of him in universe and timelines.
