Who is your favourite Deluxe Beast Wars Transformer?

[GoktimusPrime]

As with the other polls, please select according to which was your favourite toy when Beast Wars was current. Due to poll size limit K-9 has been lumped together with Wolfang as a single poll option, as have Shadow Panther and Tigatron.

P.S.: Who else ever tried pretending that Retrax in rolled up pillbug mode was Unicron? ;)

Dinobot was my favourite character and my first Transformer that I bought with money that have saved from mowing lawns. It is still apart of my collection :D

EVERYone has!

Even Retrax's robot mode looks Unicron-esque (although Transmetal Scavenger arguably more so) -- but until Armada Unicron came out, Retrax was the closest thing to a Unicron toy that you could buy. And as a $20 Deluxe Class figure, it was a relatively expensive thing to buy for that purpose to repurpose. :p Retrax is a classic example of a toy that either lives or dies by its gimmick. The way that his robot arms are permanently stuck outwards gives him the appearance of being crucified, which must make him really... (wait for it)... cross. :o <badoomTISH>

Cheetor for me. Challenging without being finiky and the weapons were easy to store. :)

[Arctorro]

Wolfang. I really wished he was in the show. It kinda hurt when I found out that they planned to include him but when with Tigatron for budget reasons.

Cheetor. First BW toy I got and made a great first impression for Beast Wars in general.

[BigTransformerTrev]

I got the 10 year anniversary Waspinator figure. Only one of the listed toys I've ever handled

[i_amtrunks]

Rhinox. Had two very well constructed modes, awesome weapons and one hell of an angry face.

[Jaxius._]

Well I voted Manterror just because he is a Mantis. But I have never actually handled him lol.

Second place would be TM Cheetor because he is one of my only BW toys plus its a Flying Kitty

This poll is only covering the pre-Transmetal figures. There will be a poll for Transmetals later on.

Cybershark!!
One of the best Beast Wars figures IMO.

I like Wolfang. He is definitely the best.

Cheetor. Transformed and played with him, Dinobot, Rhinox and Wolfgang a thousand times as a young teenager. Liked them all individually; Dinobot for its alt mode and chompy chomp jaw; Rhinox for its bulk; and Wolfgang for his sweet crossbows and smooth plastic; but Cheetor comes out on top with his clean transformation, sturdy joints, sturdy 2 modes, and I can even love the cat guts on his water cannon. Also bought them with my lunch money, which has the added special significance of teaching me how to budget and save. Still got vague memories of seeing it in TRU Parramatta, with only a few silver coins in my hands, and thinking how in Satan's holy hell am I ever going to get a hold of eighteen big ones.

I don't think I actually have a favourite deluxe in the original line, they were all decent but in my mind they were outshone by the larger toys, and even the smaller toys for value. It's one of the few times I can recall that Deluxes weren't the be all and end all of the line.

If I had to choose, I suppose it would be Tarantuals or Cheetor, but both always seemed quite flawed to me even without the cartoon influence. I always liked Manterror but never owned him.
