Hey guys,
I've just started to collect Transformers toys! I'm starting with Beast Wars era stuff because that was what I had when I was a kid and then once I'm satisfied there then who knows! I'm also a fan of the G1 show and am looking into some of the newer Transformer shows.
^_^
It's always nice to welcome a new Transformers fan and collector to the community. I hope you enjoy your long stay! :)
Welcome! I grew up with Beast Wars too! :D Although I only had one BW toy when I was a kid, still love the show.
So you've just started, who have you got so far? Are you going for the show cast or just any BW figures?
Welcome to ozformers.:)

Thanks everyone for the friendly welcome. I love the show too, it's what has sparked my interest in collecting the figurines. Honestly I'm not sure, I mostly want to start by getting a lot of the figures I thought were super cool as a kid (which certainly weren't just the cast) then go from there!Quote:

Welcome to the boards! Hope you have a nice stay here. :D
Hello and welcome! :)
I see! Sounds like a good plan. :D I think the 10th Anniversary Primal is the better looking one too, I'm so glad they updated his face. You should post up pics in the aquisitions threads when they arrive!Quote:

All the best with your collecting, check out Members stuff for sale fro some great prices that usually always beat e-bay :)
Thanks for the tip. I'm looking for a Classics Dinobot, I just saw that figure and I think it is significantly better than the original. Gahhhhh I'm an addict already...
IMHO the original Dinobot's better than the Universe/Henkei Dinobot. Hasbro reissued the original back in 2006 as part of Beast Wars' 10th anniversary; so did TakaraTOMY. I got the TakTOM reissue of Dinobot which I think looks quite nice (though technically it's the BW Grimlock mould since it has the rub sign indent w/ the original Dinobot never had)Quote:

I never liked the original Dinobot figure that much. The proportions annoyed me and I didn't like the transformation or massive amounts of robot parts showing in the beast mode. The 10th anniversary version is an improvement over the original though, IMO. Thanks for the links!
There's still never been an accurate velociraptor Transformer though. Dinobot was based on the way raptors were portrayed in the Jurassic Park film. Razorclaw was a bit more accurate with the more elongated head and body, but still not entirely accurate. But I think that the Jurassic Park raptor look of Dinobot is so entrenched that fans may reject a more paleontologically accurate raptor-moded Dinobot. I'd like to see HasTak release maybe a new character with an accurate velociraptor beast mode.
Awesome, another Melbournian. Welcome to the board!
WELL Overdue! :o
