On the inside cover is the toy pic of the Takotank , Gigastorm (Trypticon repaint, without the light-up cannon and tank parts) and Magnaboss. Click HERE to view it.
They give 18 more character cards in this issue, of the Seacons, Magnaboss the Takotank and the new baddies. I scanned in only the new guys. I think the blue squid's name is Ikad, I'm not too sure.
Gigastorm
HellScream
Mach Speed
Takotank and Ikad
Then we have a very nice starting page of the BW2 section. The nicest one so far, if I don't say so myself. CLick HERE to see it.
First is a big picture of the tank. Click HERE.
Then is a pic of his weapons and bike and a pic of Lioconvoy shaking
Ikad's hand with Scuba in the back. Click
HERE.
Next are the bad guys. First comes a bigger pic of Gigastrom and his
abilities. Click HERE to see. As
mentioned earlier, Gigastorm is Megastorm rebuilt.
Then comes a bigger picture of Hellscream and Machspeed. Click
HERE to see it. I also enlarged the
beast modes of Mach Speed and HellScream. As I had mentioned that time,
Mach Speed is BB, and HellSream is Starscream. My guess is Dirge and
Thrust becom DirgeGun and Thrustor respetively.
Here's a pic of Galvatron and his new lackeys. It's just their faces. Click HERE.

Introducing the Tripredacus!! Below are some scans of pictures of the
team. I only know the Japanese name of Cicadacon, since it's only two
letters...
DJ (Cicadacon)
Ramhorn
Sea Clamp
Tripredacus
Personally, I think the colors for the individual components are nice, but the mix of colors which Tripredacus is made of, are well, tacky.
In this picture, Tripredacus teams up with Lioconvoy to battle the Destrons!! Click here to view the battle scene!
And here is a picture of...the BW2 Seacons!!! The picture is really colored but I think roughly the colors are rather tacky too. Anyhow, click here to view them!
