I was wondering that too. I'm finished with Season One.

Oh yeah, I watched Nemisis Part 2 and I saw Optimus carrying a transwarp cell in his hand. I didn't notice that before until I read on www.tv.com that there was another scene edited out showing Optimus Primal pulling one of the transwarp cells out from the warship before he left the crashing ship.

Willl this be consider Trivia?

una - I do believe that is trivia! And feel free to post your compilation here on the forums. Preferably without the square brackets (though that's no biggie!)

I think improving on/changing some of the BW graphics and images dotted about the site is something anyone with artistic talent can do. I'd be delighted to have artist's impressions of Beast Warriors dotted across the site, as it makes it more unique and special than a simple cut out from a screen shot (though those, if done well, are still welcome). Skyfire did a great one for the BWINT donations page, as can be seen here: http://www.bwint.net/donations.htm

Darkshadow, if you like, you could do season three of the info compilation (air dates etc)?

I was also thinking on expanding the info available on the Creative Team page (www.bwint.net/creativeteam.htm ), and I will be adding a "Weird and Wonderful World of Beast Wars Themed Merchandise" in the future, so anyone who has anything cool (like a rare Japanese BW figure, a bag, a glass, anything official) and would like to photograph it and send it in with a little description, that'd be really helpful. I am going to be making a page on the cute little Robot Heroes, since I own them all and have a camera and can probably write up something about them (though again, any assistance is welcomed!) There's a lot of potential for us here, if we team together, to really reinvigorate BWINT over the next 10 months. I feel inspired to do so, so I'm gonna run with that feeling while it lasts, lol!

Thank you so much, Una and Dalgorath! You're both awesome.

You're very welcome!!

I can help out with anything toy-related, easily. I even have a large portion of the Japanese BW figs (or at the very least information on them), if you're looking for those. What did you have in mind?

Unread post by **Sapphire** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 4:30 am

Beastbot - mini reviews or even descriptions of the Beast Wars figures (10th Anniversry, re-issues, Japanese versions, etc.) along with some photos of your own if you can supply them, would be hugely appreciated. It irks me that all I have done on that front is the toy reviews for the original BW figures, when there have subsequently been so many more. So yeah! If you can help by sending info and pics of some of your extensive BW collection (that's not already featured on the site) please do email them.

Thanks for offering.

*is pleased with the enthusiastic responses so far*

I have work tonight, blah over night's so I won't have the time I thought.

If someone wants to do season 3's air date's...if not I can try, but I'm sure someone can do it faster. *smacks head on desk* stupid. Work.

You're welcome, but uh... how much do you want me to send, exactly? 'Cause I mean I could send you everything I have on anything BW-related, but that would be a LOT of material and work for you. What did you want me to focus on (or at least focus on first)?

-Stampy - Got him
-Randy - Got Him if you want him for pictures (nearly perfect too, just had a mishap with the hand was all (damn gps)
-Big Convoy (though I have Universe Nemesis Prime) - hate you now :p
-Mach Kick - Got, exept for the tail
-Heinrad - :3 he sits next to my bed
-Claw Jaw UK variant - which colours was he? the orange/pink one or the blackish one?
-Moon - he didn't get a toy
-Crazybolt - have him if you need pictures
-Megastorm - I have the G2 megatron version of him
-Convobat - I'm not sure, I got him loose, so he's either the original version or the second one

Other than these ones, you seem to have all the ones I have molds for already

To narrow it down, perhaps focus on the original show's merchandise output, as opposed to BW Neo and BW 2 (though at some stage I will write a little section on those two, not that I know anything about them, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it). If it helps, perhaps try concentrating largely on the show cast as a start. For example, I have several variants of Optimus Primal, and some are re-issues, some repaints, some Japanese versions, but all of them look really cool and are def. from Beast Wars Transformers. But I could not tell you who made them, when and why.

I know there are loads of other BW figures out there that didn't feature in the show (some only in the comics), and it'd be cool to have some sort of section on them, but it needn't be as detailled as what we have at the Toy Reviews section on the original moulds, currently.

I hope that helps... What do you two think?

Aesir · Unread post by **Aesir** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 3:38 am

I'm fine with that

maybe just have the japanese stuff as a photo gallery or something? or just a quick review on the character or the toy perhaps?

or perhaps do full page reviews of the in show characters,a nd then smaller ones for the non show guys?

-The Claw Jaw UK variant is green & black with some weird yellow designs. See here (scroll down a bit):http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beast_Wars_%28toyline%29
-Moon does have a toy. I remember seeing it back in the day, and although no pics are given, she has a page mentioning the toy here:http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Moon_%28BWII%29
-Megastorm is a little bit different from G2 Megatron, albeit barely.
-The Convobat redeco I'm talking about is the one different from the U.S. release-- the red one http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal/toys (Again scroll down a bit.)

Okay, so if I'm understanding you correctly, you want info on ALL variants of show characters, including the super-rare Japanese stuff like Burning Convoy and Lucky Draw Convoy? I could dig up some info on that, not so much pictures because I don't have that stuff.
As far as non-show, U.S. Beast Wars characters-- would pics and perhaps general information (size class, release date, what toy if any it's redecoed from, perhaps toy bio) be what you're looking for, since you don't want "bonafide" toy reviews on those?
