I'd like those variants. I like the idea of them as Maximals, plus what other Transformers can claim to be a giant beetle Mexican sumo wrestler besides Motorarm? What could be cooler?

It sounds like an idiot move. The two figures aren't particularly interesting without their other combiner partner.

How many times have these things been out in Japan now. Seems like they're getting something in the way of Beast Wars every other year. Not that I'm envious or anything....

Cool, those are repaints.
I got Tripredicus when he was in retail.
I like that combiner. I found the transformations
without instructions difficult. Especially the
beetle.
Nice

I'll make a bet that th last member of the team is on the way, and perhaps a new Magnaboss will follow

I loved the look of Tripredacus, but he was just so dammed fragile.

Really? I've never heard of this problem. Both of the ones I have are perfectly fine.

That is a head scratcher, why only release 2 of a 3 part set.
These are some fun toys though. To many Beast Warriors go unapreciated.

why not scorponok instead of a lobster or rhino beetle?

Why not characters that were actually IN the Beast Wars cartoon. I'd really like to see Terrorsaur, Rattrap, and Scorponok.

What about Scorponok or Terrorsaur. I say start with the main characters then move to the non-show ones. Well I might try get them anyways never had Tripedacus anyways.

Enough of your [/lies] !
Anyway, given the popularity of Magnaboss and Tripredacus in Japan (due to BW II) this isn't a big shocker to me, but, as others have already pointed out, it makes little to no sense to remake them two and not Cicadacon.

Well, we all know that Cicadacon will be some overpriced convention exclusive and --
oh, right, Takara... Nevermind.

Tripledacus seemed quite in-cartoon to me when I actually watched the Beast Wars II movie. You've conveinently forgotten that this is a Japanese Beast Wars reissue line. They got three shows, not one, and Corahda and Archadis certainly weren't released from their appearances in the Mainframe series - because they didn't exist until years later, in BW Neo!
I'm irked that, aside from a missing member (probably later), these have either bumped Drancron's release down or, worse, he'll be cancelled!

Both of Cicadacon's missiles broke, and one of the pegs that links Sea-clamp to Cicadacon broke. And I wasn't exactly rough on him. Bad batch of plastic maybe?
