BW JAPAN

Beast Wars certainly is popular in Japan with a new cel-animation cartoon coming out, with toys too! These are some images I scanned in from "BonBon", a Japanese mags for kids! Some of the images are quite big and may therefore take a while to load. While I get more pics, please enjoy these! Note: if you wish to use any of these pictures, please e-mail me first. Thanx!


Note: These pictures were scanned from the BonBon Magazine
October Issue
This issue mainly focuses on the Magnaboss toy, and some other misc. pics.

I scanned in a lot of pics from the comic this time round, so I put it on a page by itself. I'm not duone with it yet so don't mind it a bit.

Apparently, there is a VERY nice repaint of Lioconvoy, which I call 'Black Lio'. Click Here to see a pic of it.

They're packaged as a set, BTW. Apparently, they left out Nautilator. Maybe they lost the mold for him...

Here's a Limited Edition Transparent White Optimus Primal toy! It's really nice! Click Here! BTW, in the Japanese BW line, there are a total of 6 color variants of Primal - Black (American), Gray , Gold, Red , blue and the tranparent one. The color changes are mainly in the animal parts of the toy, except the gold one. It's totally gold.
