Yay. I'm getting me Beast Convoy and Beast Megatron. Maybe Dinobot and Blackarachnia as well. Has Tigatron been confirmed? ;)

Nope, it's the Robot Masters versions with show-accurate decos. In case you don't remember, the Toys 'R Us exclusive 10th Anniversary set was a direct import of the Japanese Beast Wars Reborn set (see the galleries here and here), excluding the DVD. No news on the Cybertron versions being released over there.

I have to disagree. While I hate most everything Beast Wars, BWII and Neo were fantastic. Even though I couldn't understand a word being said, I still hold them above the first three seasons released in the States.

BBTS has a pre-order for Tigatron on their website. Fan to Fan mentioned that these toys were wave one, and Takara has several other characters listed on their website. http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/beastwars/story.html

All Neo. BWII had mostly either repaints, or direct re-releases of earlier toys. Lioconvoy and Galvatron were the only two original molds for the line. Take note they're not all definite.

That was sarcasm, my good fellow. 8) Ninja Sixshot probably did need that info, though.

I'm really curious to see how Drancron will turn out. Probably just minor differences, in the same way Archadis and Corahda were repainted, but can't wait nonetheless. I like the Sky Shadow mold, but love it colored that way even more (and Blendtrons are nearly impossible to find!).
