Disclaimer: I'm a total Beast Wars noob (animal robots wtf??) so bear with me.

A seller some of us know had/has Megatron and Optimus Takara Beast Wars figures.
Megs being the T-rex about voyager size and Optimus being the gorilla at the same size. Think they are reissues from the pristine state of the boxes but it's all Japanese to me. He said 150 (but would take 140) for the pair.

Just thought I'd let you (yes, you) know. :)

Are they Transmetals (Metalic beasts similar to G1 Beast modes) or realistic?

Realistic. Don't remember seeing any metallic on them. Purple Megs and dark (black?) Optimus.

Nice rectangular display boxes.

Possibly the Beast Wars Reborn versions (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal_toys#Beast_Wars_Reborn)

STL picked these up last year (I think) and they look very nice.

I have the 10th Anniversary release of those figures. They are freaking awesome and these Ultras are fine examples that a toy loaded with gimmicks does not need to have its engineering and complexity compromised.

I was only able to find what appears to be the back of the box:

This is the 10th Anniversary release (essentially the same figures in a Hasbro box)

The boxes they were in were rectangular but taller than they were wide and the figs came separately.
They pretty much look like the figures though, although they were in beast mode.

Its possible those are the ones DirtyDigger saw. However those are not BW Reborn as the molds don't have the 'Reborn' remolding.

Depends if there were in two boxes or one. I'm kind of interested in the Reborn ones but I'm not sure how much I should spend on them.

I thought you have the 10th Anniversary 'Cyber Key' deluxe molds. We are talking about the Ultras.
