Maximals

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.

B'boom is a triple changing Maximal. He is a mega sized toy who was released along with the mega sized Predacon Transquito. B'Boom was also one of the first Beast Wars toys to incorporate "personality" into the toy.

Transmetal Airazor is the newest incarnation of the Maximal femme warrior. Her new form is bigger than before with some interesting new features. Now a Transmetal, Airazor is a powerful triple changing Transformer!

In 2021 Hasbro celebrated Beast Wars in part by reissuing several 90's Beast Wars Transformers action figures at Walmart!  One of these was the Ultra Class Optimus Primal, representing the character as he appeared in the television show.  Check out my review and gallery of this reissue. This review is not just a review of changes but a look at the figure with "fresh eyes" decades after the original release!

Release Date: September 2021
Price Point: $49.99 (depending on retailer)

The restoration of retro reviews continues!  This time you can check out my updated reviews for Beast Machines Scavenger and Silverbolt.  Both reviews feature updated thoughts and new images.

Silverbolt returns to the battle as a basic Maximal. This toy is a huge departure from the original Silverbolt Fuzor toy and the results aren't as great as one may think.

Night Viper is one of the mid-2000 basic Beast Machines Transformers releases. Rather than another four legged (or six legged) critter, Night Viper adds a snake into the Maximal mix. Many speculated that the Japanese Beast Wars Neo toy Cohrada would be repainted and released as part of Beast Machines, but fans were pleasantly surprised to see that Night Viper is a whole new mold.

After many years of absence from this site, I have begun restoring the reviews that started it all: Beast Wars!  This will be slow going as I have a lot of other sections to restore while putting up new content.  For now, I've kicked off the restoration with four reviews:
