10th aniversary & Transmutate Toy

[Minion]

From Insidepulse.com

For the 10th anniversary of Beast Wars Hasbro will release a Waspinator figure in his show accurate colors. Primal and Megatron will have new molds. All will come with special DVD's. I'm on the fence about this one since I wasn't that big of a fan of beast wars. They will have some kind of "chip;" not sure if it is a force chip or, some sort of device that allows the two figures to interact. {Also, they showed Waspinator in package at Botcon, and it appears as if every 10th Anniversary Beast Wars figure will come with one part of the Protoform that couldn't transform from the third season of Beast Wars. Collect them all, and you will have an extra figure. A VERY nice touch on the part of Hasbro, once again giving us a figure we never thought we would see, ex. Unicron, Alpha Quintesson, and soon Primus. Hasbro has been doing some great things for us lately, though we could do without all the repaints we will be seeing in Cybertron.}Amen to that Boss, I'm glad that the real fans of Beast Wars are going to be getting all this good stuff for them.

Im not sure how excited i am about getting the Transmutate. I think its because ill be forced to buy every one of the re-releases however being BW i was likely to do that anyway...

Im gonna get all of them also..and I haven't even seen season 3 yet... Im still waiting for 2 to arrive!!

I think it's great they're doing a Transmutate figure. Makes the set more collectactable.

[Minion]

MUch better than just churning simple re-releases or repaints I guess. Still I would have preferred just one or two real commemorative releases ala MPC.

As for the report on the news page about this ebay auction:
cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-2005-BotCon-Beast-wars-10th-ANNI-Rhinox_W0QQitemZ6002648967QQcategoryZ753QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I think we can all wait...

I thinkRhinox looks good!! Shame we didn't get his season 1 gatling guns!

Well Rhinox certainly looks better - but why not re-mound the face to take away that stupid smile.

Would also have been good if they took away the mutant mask / face thing

I've had a Transmutate figure for about 3 years now!

I won it on ebay back in 2002. This guy did a custom and also made some tech specs for it as well. Great looking figure. I'll take a picture of it and put it on here soon.

Topyfare reports that wave 1 is (each with one part of the Transmutate): Cheetor, Rhinox & Waspinator

The following wave 2 will be: Tarantulas, Dinobot & Rattrap

Id be interested to se eif they can come up with a gimmick for wave 2 ala wave 1 as an incentive to us 'old skool' fans who already have the toys in multiple colours and variations.

[glow=blue,2,300]I'm not so interested in Transmutate or most of the figures. Waspinator looks good, though.

Wouldn't mind getting Rattrap or an improved mold of Dinobot, either.[/glow]

50% constitutes an interest in my book Gaiijin

As reported on the Moon news page.

Im liking the look of these, not sure what to make of it all yet but id be happy if they did go in with the 10th anniversary in some way shape or form.
