More like BB is Starscream's beeotch.Originally Posted by tinyJazz
Also, nice haul man! Your pics of BWII BB and starscream make them look mighty tempting, so shiny and pretty! I love how BB has "FOR STARSCREM" printed on what looks like his arm? They're bros alright.
"Rogeeerrr!"
Also, the arm panels that say "For Starscrem" are located in the aft of the vehicle mode where Starscream docks with BB. So yeah, that's the meaning of those stickers.
The unique moulds interest me more in those lines (I got most of them - just a few I still need). The repaints... meh. Some of them are identical to the Hasbro toys, but just with different names and are technically different characters. e.g. Apache is the same as B'Boom, Tasmania Kid is the same as Snarl etc. I have Apache, so I have intention of getting B'Boom, and I have Snarl so I have desire for Tasmania Kid. Even with the repaints I don't really have a burning desire to get them either. :/ I did get Randy earlier this year because it was a self-pity purchase after travelling halfway around Taipei TF hunting and not finding anything that day. And the toy broke on me as soon as I opened it... stupid gold plastic!! Just as well I already have Razorbeast.Hehe, cheers man; As it stands, I'm going after the unique molds of both of the Japanese Beast Wars series and once I've made that milestone I'll look at starting to actually complete Neo and II - The vast majority of both lines though are comprised of repaints really, some good and some bad but it gives me a prolonged journey in collecting Beast Wars figures for a while yet.
They are indeed sweet sweet moulds.I've always loved the molds that BB and Starscream use, the G2 Dreadwing & Smokescreen molds, ever since I was a kid but these days I've found the original G2 iterations to be prohibitively expensive; The fact that the molds were reused in Beast Wars II and that a really good South Korean seller I'd dealt with before had the pair MISB for a bloody good price?

I got 3 different versions myself - G2 Dreadwing/Smokescreen, BWII BB/Starscream & RiD Dreadwind/Smokejumper. I skipped RM Gigant Bomb/Gigantsniper... 3 versions is probably enough.
Just such fun toys to play with... as the G2 commercial said, "His gatling gun is illin'!"
The colours are actually based on an abandoned repaint of G2 Dreadwing/Smokscreen as G2 ATB Megatron/Starscream (G2 got cancelled before these toys could be released). So I think it's cool how Takara let us have these previously aborted designs, but of course repurposed & redecoed as Predacons. Also neat how they even kept the Starscream name for the Smokescreen redeco, but obviously they couldn't use the name Megatron (since there was already another grape-faced Predacon using that name)
