need help looking for beast wars characters

[GoktimusPrime]

The Armada Dinobots were sold as Wal*Mart exclusives in the U.S. I never saw them here - were they even released here?

Anyway, here's what they look like...

Grimlock (repaint of Beast Wars Grimlock) & Terranotron (repaint of Terrorsaur)


Snarl (repaint of Sabreback) & Sludge (repaint of Sling)


Triceradon (repaint of Guiledart) & Slapper (repaint of Bazooka)

I have a Grimlock & Swoop but im pretty sure they are Energon series.

If you're talking about the Grimlock and Swoop that merge into Mega Dinobot, then yes, that's from Energon. Those are really craptacular toys too. :/

hey i had another look at predacon back over in seibertron, does his trex head glow in the dark? it just looks like it should

Nope. But Hasbro has a penchant for using really bright colours.

before that, thought it had already extincted!

Transformers has never been extinct. It's always been in production since 1984.

It nearly became extinct thanks to G2...

[GoktimusPrime]

I dunno... I think the closest Transformers ever came to extinction was in 1991, 1992 and early 1993 - the tail end of G1. While it's true that G2 was never a raging success I don't think that it was as bad as those final years of G1. IMO Hasbro quickly realised that G2 wasn't working and rightfully canned the line after 3 years giving us Beast Wars, which was a smashing success and revitalised the franchise. Beast Wars = Transformers Renaissance.

Actually, Pulse is right - G2 nearly did signal the death (again) of the line. Hasbro actually out and out cancelled the Transformers line when they wound up G2. Kenner - then a proper subsiduary of Hasbro - actually went out on a limb with Beast Wars.

Predacon was fairly easy to find, although not because he was released here in huge numbers. Rather, he was a slow seller. The supply was limited, and now that it's dried up, he's hard to find. Actionmasters are similar - low demand but also low supply.

Being that Hasbro owns the rights to another line that has "died" (ie. Gobots), if Hasbro were to release "Gobots/Rocklords Classics" - I wonder if they would actually sell...

"Transforming Rocks? What a brilliant idea!"

Kuzzy, which Tarantulus were you after?

WAve 1, Transmetal, Fox Kids Transmetal, 10th anniversary? I might be able to get a transmetal one, minus the pizza cutter.

I dunno, if they are cheap I would probably just buy a couple for the sake of novelty and the stupid @ss concept is pretty amusing.

However most of those rocks do not actually look like rocks....I guess they have an appropriately trademarked name if they wanted to bring back Rocklords...

[Pulse]

I remember my Mates & I being young & dumb back in Primary School & we used to say to each other "Let me know if this is as painful as a real rock"

[liegeprime]

hehehhe, always see this for sale in Parramatta fair in Wicksters lot - not interesting at ALL, "turdlords" is more like it
