Thought I might put this on here as it made me chuckle. Such a clear TF Beast Wars rip-off. Right down to the 'story' and even characters names on the cardback. Though I'm pretty sure Optimus Primal wasn't a giant bat, or Megatron a crocodile. Shameless. No country or manufacturer anywhere on the packaging.   |

Woah. My bad then, I never knew that (shows how much attention to Beast Wars I paid)  . So OP wasn't a bat in the show prior to being an ape, just the toyline? |

Thought this was going to be a thread about beast wars collectors who are tearing their hair out trying to complete their collections.  |

Nope he never appeared in the show as a bat , megs as as a gator ether , but the set was sold as a twin pack ( not sure of the size of these kos, but the proper versions of ops and megs in these forms were only basic size figures , both had similar part auto change transformations like rattrap and co) , the twin pack did include a small type comic which did have them in these forms though ( ops as a bat, megs as a gator) , for there size its a very nice set ...... Saying that i am a big fan of the beast wars/ machine lines  |

I find it so damn fascinating that Beast Wars was originally meant to be a straight-up continuation of the then Transformers story, but the cartoon seemed to go off on it's own. When I read that comic way back when, the idea of a genetics lab seemed so odd. I later found out (years later) that the BW Optimus and Megs we know and love were going to be the original Prime and Megatron and not separate characters. Oh, what could have been...
...I'm kinda hungry for a Beast Wars revival...no transmetals, though!
I have a bootleg Rattrap...the original was too expensive at the time on the secondary market. Actually not that bad. Hmmm...still do need a Terrorsaur!

Based on the Terrorsaur pic, the quality of the KO looks pretty good when compared to the originals.

Those are bootlegs. I'm not set into transformers but judging by the pics they are rather good copies.

I actually traded for that KO Terrorsaur. Not bad...looks great, but as expected, the plastic is kinda chintzy compared to the true Transformers. I'll hafta post a pic of him opened. Not "real" Terrorsaur colors, but makes for a great new character in the BW universe...if you prefer!
