Not for $180...:p

More pics please autocon, show us what you can do!

I'd like to see one for $56 now,how old are these toys? About 12 years old at least aren't they? I love the look of the Takotank and my favourite line is the Beast Wars either U.S or Japanese so if I had the money at the time I would have bought it.;):)

I dig them. I dig them in many farout and groovy ways.

It's all a matter of taste of course - I've never seen a piece of fiction that properly showcases them - but it's all that it's-just-so-weird-in-a-way-that's-so-Japanese that I cannot look away.

It is an Octopus-Tank.

Octopus
Tank

Octopus

How can that not be a source of Wonderment?.

I reckon I just like the thought-about interactivity between Ikard and the Octopus Tank. I really enjoy it when toys are meant to be together. It's a vehicle, but almost a playset.

What was the truly the last vehicle in the overall line? Beast Riders?

How far we've regressed.

Actually, I think they weren't meant to be together at all. Ikard and the Takotank aren't very interactive (Ikard doesn't sit or ride well), and the tank was probably designed to go with Microman figures. It's still awesome, though.

I take no responsibilty if your takotank is mysteriously not at your house after I have left

For anyone who cares, "ika" is Japanese for squid, hence the name "Ikard" - so both Ikard and Takotank are names playing on their alt modes. How lame is that? Hasbro certainly never did that with far more creative names like Cheetor, Rhinox and Tarantulas. </sarcasm> :p :p
