OK, here's the deal. I've never been keen on animal alt. modes for lines like G1, RiD, etc., because, if TF's are supposed to be "robots in disguise", what good is a "robotic dragon" or "metallic bat" for a real disguise?

 

Now, the alt. modes for BW are another matter (before all the Transmetal stuff). These robots actually were disguised as organic animals.

 

So.... If we took BW molds and bashed them into a gesalt team, who would be on the team? Could there be one team for the 'Bots and one for the 'Cons?

 

Let's see what y'got!

ummm....never heard of Magnaboss and Tripredicus I take it...

 

and technically Predaking could have been a TM combiner, as well as Piranicon...

outside of the awsome magnaboss, Tripredicus ones...hmmm.

 

A fantasy beast 'con:

Dragon (main body & wings)

Nightmare (an arm, with tail whip)

Salamander (arm with spikes and tail sword)

Gargantua (forms both legs)

ummm....never heard of Magnaboss and Tripredicus I take it...

Technecly every Gestalt BESIDES Magnaboss and Tripredicus are transmetals.

Anyway I like the more mechanical animal alt modes like the g1 dinobots or Predaking.

There was Tripredicus, Magnaboss, Seacons, and Magmatron

 

3 outta the 4 were released in the US...

Not true - all were issued in the US in one form or another.

 

What about Abominus and Monstructor?

Dinoking? an Abominus repaint, yes?
