Best 3 MODERN TFs NEVER released in the UK

[Philip Ayres]

Our best three TFs never released in the UK thread has produced exclusively G1 results so far which is interesting.....

So let's go again on this one, but THIS time take Beast Wars as your starting point. Any toy, released anywhere in the world, during or after Beast Wars so BW, BM, RID, A/E/C, Both Movies, animated,both Universes, Alternators and loads more toylines count.

If you think a toy hasn't been released in the UK and aren't sure, go for it and we'll tell you if you're wrong.

Universe Hardhead springs to mind. I scoured shelves looking for one until it became obvious he was US-only and prices had already got silly online.

Other notable ones are Legends Warpath, Rodimus, Wheelie and Cosmos. I still shake my fist that I did not heed Uncle Phil's warning to pre-order these from the states.

So, er, 5. But that's like 3. From a certain point of view.

Don't worry I'm going to have to cheat too.

I'd forgotton about the Universe Legends not getting a release here. The things that seeing them everyday on my shelves does to the mind

I really wanted BW Grimlock for a long time.

Erm Black Arachnia too. Well I had one but thats another story.

Universe Hardhead, Universe Ratbat, MW Megaplex and Megatron.

I can't top three them.

I might have gone for G2 Gobot Prime an Megatron too if they didn't predate BW.

BW Grimlocks are one of the closest toys to getting a UK mass release but didn't. TRU UK grey imported case loads of BW dlx at Christmas 98 which included Grimlock which was how I got mine.

The red Universe Powerglide. I checked ASDA many times on the offchance (I think it was a Walmart exclusive in the US) but no joy.

Yet to own any version of that mould. It must be red, for me!

I've still not answered this, must have a think
