Jawbreaker is one of the late additions to the Maximal Transmetal 2 forces. This toy also marks the first appearance of this beast mode: a hyena. Don't be fooled though. This Maximal is no laughing dog, he's a powerful warrior, and has the weaponry to prove it!
Injector is one of the deluxe Fuzors releases for 1998. He is also one toy that caused a fair amount of confusion among Transformers fans because earlier publicity releases had named this toy "Aquasting". Unfortunately, the name had already been snatched up by another company, so they had to do a quick renaming.
Iguanus was one of the first basic Predacon Beast Wars toys released. For those fans looking at him and making a double take, don't worry, your sanity is intact. Much of the same mold was also used for the basic sized crocodile Megatron figure released the same year.
Back in 1996 when some of the first pictures of Beast Wars Transformers appeared in magazines, one of the first toys to be pictured was "Barbearian" a.k.a. Grizzly-1. This toy also appeared in the back of a Hasbro catalogue. Of course, fans would later get the mold with different colors in the form of Polar Claw.
Drill Bit is a basic size addition to the Predacon ranks. Whereas a good deal of the Beast Wars line has a lot of hits when they try to do interesting creatures, Drill Bit isn't really one of them. However, he is not without his own redeeming factors. Drill Bit was also repainted and reused as a character in the Beast Wars the Second toy line as an Insectron.
Dinobot was one of the first break out characters in beast mode. Once a Predacon, then a Maximal, Dinobot embodied what many fans thought a good complex Transformers character should be. The toy was different in many ways from the television show's CGI model, but that didn't matter and Dinobot was scooped up very quickly by fans and collectors.
I have restored a few more Beast Wars Transformers reviews including updated thoughts on the figures. Follow the links below to check'em out!
Cybershark is one of the many new Beast Wars deluxe toys. There have not been a lot of aquatic beasts in the Beast Wars, and it is nice to see one as fierce as a shark added to the mix.
Claw Jaw is a basic sized Maximal toy. Although not highly regarded by fans, I think this toy is quite cool and fun to play with. Add to that it was one of the few aquatic Maximals at the time, and you have one interesting and fun toy.
