Thanks to the folks at In Demand Toys in the UK, we now have our first look at the official stock photos for several upcoming Legacy releases! These three figures will surely thrill fans of the Beast Wars era who are looking to add to the ranks of the beast-based Transformers in their collection! The three reveals are:
Scarem is one of the initial line of Transmetal II basic assortment toys. Although small in size, this toy manages to be lots of fun. Like his predecessors such as Insecticon and Spittor, Scarem has a very creepy look and interesting features.
Retrax is one of the deluxe releases of the 1997 Beast Wars Transformers line. This figure relies on a gimmick that more or less works, and has become a subject of much debate amongst Transformers fans. This is purely my opinion of this toy, everyone is free to have their own.
Quickstrike is one of the regular sized Beast Wars Transformers Fuzors of 1998. This toy introduces new twists (literally and figuratively) in transformation scheme in a regular sized toy.
Manterror is a deluxe Beast Wars Transformers toy. His design utilizes a beast mode that many hoped to see in a Beast Wars Transformers toy, that of a praying mantis. A powerful and elegant creature, Manterror is a nice toy to behold.
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.
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.
