Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[Paulbot]

Beast Wars played pretty loose with sizing, but I think generally the life form on which their beast mode was base was more scanned as a skin to cover the existing robot.

Sizes weren't changed when they took on beast forms, which resulted in a giant rats, ants, spiders, and birds, regular sized cheetahs, and dinosaurs who were all over the place.

I think "scanned as a skin to cover the existing robot" is the best description I've ever seen for the Beast Wars sizing discrepancies. [Thumbs up emoji]

So BW alt-modes were pretty much cosplay, got it.

Cheers for the clarification

I totally agree!


So I've become a fairly happy collector of the new RID warrior class figures.

I'm trying to figure out if I'm losing it or not but have we seen Wave 8 in Australia at all?? We've definitely got wave 7 and 9 here at the moment but I wants me a Bisk!

Online prices are insane.

I'm also interested in the minicon battle pack with Grimlock and Decepticon Back from wave 2. I've only ever seen the wave 1 assortment. I'm hoping these guys turn up at the reject shop in 6 - 12 months for a good price because I can't see them being released anywhere else after the clearance they went through at TRU to move wave 1.

We've had Bisk, well, at least my store has. I remember looking at him and Ratchet as I put them on show.
I'll keep an eye out for any future deliveries of RID stuff for you.

I've been trying to hunt down s Warrior class Ratchet, BBTS and HLJ all sold out. How much they going for?

[Sinnertwin]

$29 for RID's and $25 for the TR deluxes

That is so weird. I was thinking of asking that same question here this morning.

I've been into to RID Warriors also in the last few weeks. I ended up buying the Takara Tomy versions of Ratchet, Jazz and Bisk for $110 delivered on EBay. Figured $36 each wasn't bad for the Takara versions.
I was looking at the ridiculous prices for Warrior Paralon and Scatterspike this morning. Can't find them anywhere except EBay.

When?

No one has reported them yet (at least, not with a search of the word "Bisk" in the sightings section).

huh, must've been a pretty small release. I'd be interested if you see one mate, I was hoping to catch one during Targets sale this week. but I've been to 3 stores and no luck.

Found Stormshot, Blastwave, Starscream, and white Drift at Myer this morning if thats any help. (Wave 9)
