Images of Transformers Beast Wars K-9 and Iguanus Reissues

Posted by william-james88 Aug 12, 2022 at 12:02pm CDT 39,022 views
Thank to this Baidu user we have official images of the next vintage Beast Wars reissue figures. These images come from Hasbro Asia. The two figures are Iguanus and K-9. Iguanus was originally a basic figure, like Rattrap and Terrorsaur while K-9 was a deluxe. Interestingly, Beast Wars is the line where the Deluxe class originates from and K-9 is a great example of why these toys were assigned such a spiffy designation. He has quite a few accessories with his back becoming a shield, his tail becoming a spring loaded weapon and his beast mode ribs becoming missiles for said gun. Please note that the images show K-9 with his mutant face flipped down, he has a more standard robotic face as well.

We don't know when these will come out in the west but at least we know they are coming. These are set to be Walmart exclusives as well.

Looks like K-9 has the same shortened missiles as Wolfang. Shortened so they no longer protrude outward from his tummy.

I got the original K-( and Iguanus at my local geek store a while ago so I'm good.

Also, Terrosaur's preorders are back up at Walmart.ca so I got mine.

1 k9 isn't transformed correct. His waist needs to be put together.

I'm inclined to agree personally, but I'm sure there are some that really want these. As I've got most of them already, I'm on the lookout for the "rarer" ones or the ones I missed out on (not including awful ones that I skipped on, like Retrax), like some of the Japanese exclusives (BW2, 2 and Neo) and the BW recolours in Armada, Beast Machines, RID etc.

Wolfang doesn't have shortened missiles. They're pretty clearly not installed K9's back in the first place otherwise you'd see them around the sides. The problem with Wolfang is that they don't have any friction to keep them in place.

Wolfang doesn't have shortened missiles.
It was here that I first saw it claimed that Vintage Wolfang's missiles were shorted.

I never had a vintage Wolfang, but I can tell you the reissue has a very weak launcher and there is ZERO friction to hold the missiles in the chest.

And your video is the one I had referenced when I said they aren't short, they definitely protrude out of his chest. If they really are shorter it can't be by much.

I don't remember but they might have been falling out and not protruding.

Those mistransformed stock images of K-9 are very strange. His torso extension is due to his altmode transformation. That hinge shouldn't be visible in Bot Mode. It would be like having Cybershark standing up with his Bot legs in Shark Mode. When even the box art (and old marketing shots) makes it clear that his torso doesn't have a black break inbetween the white and blue of his colour palette. Who [at HasTak] looked at these images and said 'yeah that looks fine!' :-?

This isn't the first time the stock images have been Cleary and insanely wrong. We've seen FAAAR worse.

I suppose it is just one of those things you really notice, if you're more familiar with the figure...

Guarding the base :-D

*The previous picture was taken before I sourced Volfang. I couldn't find any of my group shot photos of the four together.

You know, take the horns off those Transmetal Rhinoxes and they become tail-less wolves. :P
