Does anybody actually peg the front breast legs into the chest slots? I just couldn't get mine to go and it felt like I might break the shoulders if I applied the required force to. It's not the end of the world leaving them unpegged, but it does slightly irk me that I couldn't confidently do a transformation step.
The stock photos do an amazing job to camouflage the horrible placement of the bot mode head. Unless you know it's there you barely see it. Picked this up on a whim, thinking to repaint the bot eyes and face, but the horrendous "neck growth" on beast mode is unfixable. Immediately stuffed it back in the box and gave it to the nephews. $10 down the toilet
Got Cheetor in the mail earlier today, (couldn't post due to snotty weather,) He is a surprisingly fun little guy,
Hopefully after Dinobot next year we get more core class beast wars goodness. View attachment 30344475
How tall is this lad? I don't have a modern Core Class figure in my vicinity, at the moment (but I do have some of Power of the Primes Trilogy's Legends Class figures, on my desk), but seeing him almost reaching Earthrise Optimus Prime's hip makes me think that he's almost as tall as, say, Legacy Shadow Striker, correct?
They barely interact with each other, that's why I don't care that much about it. The BM characters never interact with G1 characters. There's one hologram of Optimus Prime, but that could be any size and I think it's scale is actually bigger than G1 Optimus
Im excited because they kind of are doing this too. We got Rattrap, Cheetor, and we know a dinobot is in the works. I'm pretty excited as I like the bw casts but I don't tend to buy the larger figures (though tigerhawk was an exception).
Well Rattrap pretty much perfectly scales with MP figures at his current size. Since he and Blackarachnia are the same size as a human, he should be shorter than Prime's knee. So maybe something about the size of Studio Series Rumble.
Yeah I would love getting an entire line of the Beast Era cast in scale with G1 chug. Make the smaller ones like Rattrap and Blackarachnia into titanmaster sized figures, and make the medium sized characters into core class figures. And Op Op, TM2 Megs, Tigerhawk, Depthcharge, Rampage, and Tankor could get deluxe class figures.
Bumblebee, the brave Autobot scout, soars overhead in his newly scanned eagle mode. This Beast-Mode Bumblebee figure features 3 conversion modes: robot, vehicle, and beast! Toy is based on the Bumblebee character from the new Transformers movie, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts! The battle on Earth is no longer between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts introduces mysterious factions, the Maximals, the Predacons, and the Terrorcons, in an epic 90s globetrotting adventure.

In the year 1994, Optimus Prime and the Autobots take on their biggest challenge yet. When a new threat capable of destroying the entire planet emerges, they must team up with a powerful faction of Transformers known as the Maximals to save Earth.
The homeworld of the Maximals, an advanced race of Cybertronians with beast modes, comes under attack from the planet-eating dark god Unicron. His heralds, the Terrorcons and an army of Predacon scorpions, led by Scourge, seek to obtain for their master the Maximals' greatest piece of technology, the Transwarp Key, which can open portals through space and time. The Maximal leader Apelinq sacrifices himself to allow the other Maximals to escape the planet before Unicron devours it. Now under the command of Optimus Primal, the Maximals use the key to flee to Earth.
In 1994 Brooklyn, seven years after the events of Bumblebee, ex-military electronics expert Noah Diaz struggles to find a job to support his family, and is convinced by his friend Reek to steal a Porsche 911 to sell, only to discover that the car is the Autobot Mirage in disguise. Concurrently, museum intern Elena Wallace studies an ancient statue of a falcon bearing the Maximal symbol and accidentally breaks it open to reveal half of the Transwarp Key hidden inside. The key releases an energy pulse that is detected by Optimus Prime, who summons the other Autobots; Mirage is contacted in the middle of Noah's attempted theft, and Noah is roped into the robots' mission to recover the key so they can use it to return to their homeworld, Cybertron.
Drawn by the key's signature, the Terrorcons arrive on Earth, and Elena is caught up in the conflict when the villains attack the Autobots outside the museum. Scourge deactivates Bumblebee and steals the key half before the Maximal Airazor arrives and drives him off. Airazor explains to the Autobots that the Maximals have been hiding on Earth for thousands of years, and split the Transwarp Key in two to keep it out of Unicron's hands. Despite the danger, Optimus Prime is insistent that the key be reassembled so the Autobots can use it to return home, while Noah secretly plots to destroy the key to keep his world safe.
Elena's studies allow her to deduce that the other half of the key must be located in a hidden temple in Peru, and the group heads out aboard the rattletrap cargo plane Autobot, Stratosphere. In Peru, they meet up with locally-stationed Autobot Wheeljack, who leads them to the temple, but it is soon discovered that the other half of the key is no longer there. The Terrorcons attack once again, and the battle ends with Scourge corrupting Airazor with Unicron's dark energy. Subsequently, the Autobots meet Optimus Primal and the other Maximals, who explain that they moved the second half of the key, entrusting it to a human tribe they have worked with over the millennia. Scourge's corruption overtakes Airazor, driving her mad, and Primal is forced to kill her to save Elena. In the chaos, Noah attempts to destroy the second half of the key, but is convinced not to by Optimus. It is instead stolen by Scourge, who then reassembles the two-halves atop a volcano, erecting a tower and opening a portal above Earth through which Unicron will soon arrive.
Seeing where their self-serving motives have led them, Optimus Prime and Noah agree to work together to defeat the forces of evil. While the Autobots and Maximals battle the Terrorcons and Predacons, Noah and Elena sneak in close to the Transwarp Key, planning to deactivate it with an access code Elena has uncovered. In the battle, Mirage is gravely wounded by Scourge, but transforms his damaged body into a powered exo-suit for Noah so they can fight together. The energy pulse released by the key activates a dormant Energon deposit beneath the valley where Bumblebee was kept, which infuses his deactivated body with Energon and restores him to life, his revival turning the tide of the battle. Optimus Prime kills Scourge, but not before the latter damages the control console to prevent it from being shut down. Willing to sacrifice himself, Prime destroys the key and collapses the portal, but Noah and Primal are able to save him from being sucked into the imploding vortex.
In the aftermath of the conflict, the Autobots, now without means to return to Cybertron, proclaim Earth as their new home and vow to continue protecting it along with the Maximals. Elena receives recognition for discovering the temple in Peru while Noah attends an interview for a security job, but finds he is actually being invited to join the secret government organization G.I. Joe.
In 1996, Beast Wars: Transformers became the first animated series in the franchise to debut since the original show, The Transformers, ended nine years earlier. It was also an official continuation of the Generation 1 continuity, in the process providing stories that added to both the past and the future for the robots in disguise.
For its time, Beast Wars: Transformers was a groundbreaking series because it was one of the first shows to be fully computer animated. Throughout the series, the backstory established that Beast Wars began 300 years after the events of the final session of the original Transformers animated series. Under the terms of the Pax Cybertronia, the Great War between the Autobots and the Decepticons was brought to an end. This in turn led to the Great Upgrade, where the Autobots and Decepticons gave way to the Maximals and Predacons, both of whom were smaller and more energy efficient than their predecessors.
Ravage had traveled to the distant past to arrest Megatron on the orders of his leaders, but he ultimately sided with the Predacons out of loyalty to the original Megatron. This gave Megatron enough time to locate the Ark, the ship that brought the Autobots and Decepticons to Earth in the original series. While the original Autobots and Decepticons were trapped in stasis lock, awaiting the awakening that would kick off the original series, Megatron attempted to assassinate the slumbering Optimus Prime, which nearly wiped the Maximals out of existence.
