The End

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

You could give them all to me sell them and start all over again...

Failing that, have you considered the rest of Japan Beast Wars (lions and penguins and snakes, oh my!)? The G1 Predacons? A horde of G1 Insecticons? Can you recreatePossession with a WST Starscream (and a Unicron for the flashback)? Or The Agenda Episode 3 with MP Prime/Megs/Starscream etc? Your BW universe may yet be incomplete!
And would it kill HasTakTom to release a Star Upper someday?

Oi the Fox Kids stuff is mint!

Anyway, don't even breathe on Grimlock. Gold Plastic Syndrome up the wazoo.

No, they really aren't. They are unnecessary.

I already had the figure, I was just after the card. I think the one in the auction is damaged on the heels but I'll assess that when it arrives.

Um... Poison Bite and Icebird are two of the best Transformers ever. Everyone should want them.

I've owned Poison Bite, twice, and was unimpressed both times. They should have stayed as Animorphs and not poluted the TF waters.

One of the big motivators to get the 'extra' figures was the first 4 issues of the IDW comic.

I'll agree with you there Kup. The draw to the toys for me was always in the association with the character, perhaps why you and I only sought the show figures to begin with. But the comics added a new dimension for me and a lot of others I'm sure. Who can look at their basic sized Razorbeast the same way anymore?

I've no connection with the Japanese characters nor any desire to watch the cartoons. They would fail in comparison to the genius of the 3 CGI seasons.

I did pick up Big Convoy, Lio Convoy and Magmatron however, and any future re-issues, I'll be looking to Takara as their quality and attention to detail seems far greater than Hasbro's. I only got the US 10th Ann. figures to get Transmutate. I sold them afterwards and picked up the Japanese versions. They are beautiful.

As for the G1 stuff, it's not like I act out the episodes so I don't really need them, even a Ghost Starscream, though it looks good, isn't really in my sights.

I guess I've put parameters on myself, but I've expanded them from time to time. I don't own the 10th Ann. deluxe sized Optimus and Megatron, though it clearly says BW on the packaging. But look at them, they simply don't fit anywhere. So I'll skip them. The Classics/Henkei versions of Cheetor and Dinobot however would fit in quite nicely, because the look is, although different, still in the vein. I own a sealed Tripredacus Agent, but don't really need a loose one to play with cos I've already got TM2 Cheetor and an X-9 Ravage. And I can safely say I'll never want to track down the Dawn of Future Past BotCon stuff. Pfft.

For me now I guess it's a case by case basis. The new figure(s) has to fit in with the over-riding 'feel' of the line for me. I'd love to see Hasbro/Takara take the technological advancements in the past 10 years and apply them to some new BW figures. The chances of which however are small. But I continue to be a fan.

Animorphs are part of the Transfomers waters anyway.

I've no connection with the Japanese characters

And yet you have connection to "all the normal run" Beast Wars figures that you've collected? How can toys like Retrax and Jawbreaker be more attractive than... say... Longrack or Heinlad?

I should have said BW waters, not TF waters. They are still terrible none the less.

The comics have helped in fleshing out those characters. I know the Jap figures featured in the comics too but I still feel no obligation towards them.

Maybe I'm just TF Racist.

Why can't the Beast Wars Mutants get any love? I want them but have always had a hard time finding them. I was intrigued the first time and only time i came across them at the shop. Parents wouldn't buy me one so i've dreamt ever since
