    Default Beast Wars 3rd Party Figures

    The Beast Wars 20th Anniversary is heating up, folks!

    Hot on the heels of Perfect Effect's PE-DX06 Gorira (Optimal Optimus) comes the TransArt BW-04 edition of the Maximal leader.

    Call me a purist but the TransArt offering is ticking all the boxes. The attention to detail and likeness of the show model is incredible.

    Crap... which one do I get? They both look awesome.

    Slightly leaning towards the TransArt version

    Digging the TransArt one more, but as they're at different scales (and aesthetics), why not get both?



    Hopefully this gives Takara an incentive to make an MP Optimal Optimus!

    The Perfect Effect one looks mighty yummy to me
    I do find purchasing one a little difficult as the originals were already fully articulated and the CG renders were done based on the toys...
    So this has to look really really good in all modes plus have a couple of added features to make me want to purchase it.
    As yummy as it may be

    Original toy was pretty awesome but could do with some improvements like articulated fingers, none annoying armour plates. Aside from that, the original is still a much better toy than most modern main line toys.

    I will probably only get one but need to decided within one.

    What I like about PEs is that it looks beefier and stocky. Since I already have the original toy which looks lanky, I do not need another like it.

    Totally in for PE's.

    Everywhere has it up for pre-order (with robotkingdom being the cheapest so far), but here's hoping PremiumCollectables will have theirs up today for a regular killer price

    Funny thing is (at least with Canada) if you factor in shipping its cheaper with BBTS. Who knew! Haha
