Note: 1. YOU ARE NEEDED!! If you collect Beast Wars/Machines toys, please consider writing and submitting some reviews on your toys! Read the Review Submission Rules below. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated.
2. Unlinked names means that I have the toy and a review will be coming soon. (simple!)
3. * means that I do not have this figure. This status will be upgraded as the above specification if I get the figure, otherwise I will be relying on contributions from fans.
4. ** means that I've already ordered/bought the toy, but am awaiting delivery (typically happens with foreign figures).
4. *** means that a review has already been written (usually when one is submitted by one of you!) and just some editing and final touches are underway.
5. Unless stated otherwise, all reviews are written by me. Feel free to use these reviews for your own page, all I ask is that you give credit to the reviewer, whether it be me (in which case, please provide a link back to this site) or otherwise. Please report any faulty links.

BEAST WARS: TRANSMETALS

After the Quantum Surge blah blah blah blah blah...
Alright, here's the whole gimmick of this line:
1. Beast modes look robotic with "vacuumised metal" looking parts.
2. Robot modes are supposed to resemble their beast forms.
3. They have intermediate vehicular modes.
4. Known in Japan as Metals.
5. In the UK, Deluxe and Mega Transmetals sold in Woolworths came with exclusive Transmetal drinking glass.

BEAST WARS: TRANSMETAL 2s

A result of Megatron's rash cloning yada yada yada...
Here be the deal with Transmetal 2s:
1. Unlike Transmetals, they have no third mode.
2. Both modes have a combination of robot and beast parts,
making them cybernetic monstrosities.
3. They are assymetrical.
Depending on geographical location, these toys are either labelled with an Arabic numeral
("Transmetal 2") or a Roman numeral ("Transmetal II").
4. Known in Japan as Metals 2.

Review Submission Rules As you can see, there are many toys that need reviews. If you collect Beast Wars/Machines toys, and you're willing to write and submit a toy review for this page, please read the following guidelines:

1. Please follow my Toy Review format. Do a review on the Beast Mode and Robot Mode, a description of the transformation, location of a rub sticker / spark crystal if applicable and your overall thoughts on the toy. It is to be written in this order:
(i) Beast / Vehicle Mode review
(ii) Transformation description
(iii) Robot Mode review
(iv) Rub Sticker / Spark Crystal location
(v) Overall
2. If you'd like, a description of the beast or vehicle of which the toy transforms into (the Beast/Machine Trivia section) is fine, but you don't have to (I can add that in myself).
3. I reserve the right to make any alterations as I see fit without notification.
4. All credit will be given to you. Provide the URL to your web site, otherwise a link to your Email account will be added. Let me know if you do not wish to have a link to your Email account. You must tell me your real name, but if you want me to credit your "nick", let me know. If you don't want your real name displayed, let me know.
5. Remember to include the specifications of the toy such as height, length etc.
Attention Americans: All specifications must be given in metric units. Reviews without specifications or with non-metric units will be ignored and disregarded. This rule also applies to all specifications given in the Beast/Machine Trivia section if you include one.
6. Reviews may be submitted in the following languages: Standard English, American English or Japanese. All reviews will be edited and uploaded in Standard English.
7. Please submit all reviews in text (.txt) format.
8. E-mail any reviews and/or questions to: goktimus@mailcity.com
