ok to get this started, i believe there should be a classics line with beast wars charactors. i know ur all going to say that bw 10th anniversery came out 2 years ago but 1: it was never in any target in upstate n.y. 2: nobody ever heard of it until 2 months ago. if u wan't to see classics beast wars, post ur ideas here.

Its an idea, but Beast Wars had some pretty good figures already, so why would they need updates?

First guess, Teh same reason G1 got the calssics touch. Because it's fun! They did do some awesome figs. But there's always more that can be done. Megsy could get some new Dinosaur, Or Dinobot could get a revamp so that his legs are'nt tripling the size of the raptor. And I rather liked the 10th Primal fig better than the original BW primal. for one, the hand missiles had no home, and the ball and chain didn't seem to fit the char. Cheetor was a little bulkier than a cheetah. And Tigatron could actually get a proper tiger. not the generalized big cat repaints he and Cheetor were.

But there already show accurate and well articulated, G1 toys were nothing more bricks with some being nothing like the character in the show, as an example Jetfire deserved an update, but Rattrap looks just like the character in the show and is well articulated, I’d rather have updated versions of G1 toys over updated versions of toys that didn’t have any problems.

While I certainly wouldn't mind a more show accurate version of Rhinox (maybe in voyager-size), there really wouldn't be much point. The idea of the Classics line was to update twenty year old molds with modern tech. BW is ten years old, and technology really has not made any massive leaps (at least in toy tech ).

However, if they want to finally make a Transmetal Scorponok for say, the Universe line, I won't be complaining.

Not a bad idea, but mainly for show accuracy.

A dinobot that is a voyager size or larger? (he was fairly tall in the show), Megatrons size in Robot mode though.

A voyager rhinox

A smaller grey scorponock

Mostly season one changes...

Yea, if they redid the Season 1 cast in scale, with more accurate colours, no battle masks, accurate weapons & faces, I certainly wouldn't pass!
I'd love to finally have a Dinobot & Rhinox standing shoulder to shoulder & above with Optimus Primal. A rattrap thats a little more than a spring-changer (while that is fun) could be good, slightly more complex; eg beast legs "compressing" so he doesn't have a huge backpack. I'd like to see an Airrazor that doesn't suck too!
But I'd get this line mainly to have the complete BW cast, which I've always wanted but wont use Ebay for. I prefer to buy toys in person so I can see them, so a line like this would be a great chance for me! I'd need to save up A LOT before it's release though!

if it came out, they should keep the mutant maskes and keep dinobots old toy face, not his butt-ugly show face.

how about a transmetal scorponok that looked like a cross between beast wars scorponok and movie scorponok, he could have a bee-shaped missle that fires out of his claw. or a repaint and resculpt of brawl and call him tankor.

or maby a repaint/resculpt of armada megatron and call him darkside scorponok.

Wouldn't that defeat the point of have updates in the first place?

I live in up state NY and the 10th anniversery figures were avalible in the Targets around me but they didnt have that many.Walmart,K-mart and Toys r us had plenty of them on hand.As a matter I saw a few of them at Toys r us just the other day.

But I wouldnt mind seeing some of the BW's characters done in new molds but we've already seen at least 2 made for the Titanium line so I doubt that they'll do it.

The only Megatron I saw 2 weeks ago is the 2 pack with Optimus Primal.They had about 6 left the last time I was there.
