I guess most people had moved on from Beast Machines by that point so skipped these ones. A better colourscheme wasn't enough to save these figures in my mind.

I would have got some if I'd been a able to. Japanese exclusives in general were harder to get then

Beast Machines has been on my mind a bit recently as the polls are approaching. There's a lot of stuff in here I like and a lot that is p!$#

I remember BW Returns being ok to get on the likes of HLJ etc. I didn't get any.
I currently own only two Beast Machines toys.

The Japanese BW Returns figures are scarce as Battle Unicorn **** There's two on eBay right now, and one in my loft, so that's at least 3 accounted for. |

On the right, Japanese TRU Exclusive Beast Wars Returns Basic Silverbolt, in show accurate colours and made of complete unobtainium. Not *complete*... |

Battle Unicorn is scarce? No, it was a Phil-ism. You possibly misread the **** at the end of "Battle Unicorn ****" which was a bit of Phil censorship of a naughty swearword [his Mum doesn't let him say words like that]. His expression "scarce as Battle Unicorn ****" is from the phrase "rare as rocking horse shit" based on the observation that rocking horses do not produce faeces. |

In fairness Battle Unicorn is not the easiest toy to find at a reasonable price.

I do like the tone set by the styling of the backing card. Nothing like the show, but whatever

So research time. Does anyone have any evidence that any of the following were officially released in the UK by Hasbro UK? Mega Megatron
Ultra Nightscream
Ultra T-Wrecks I know all 3 appeared in TRU but I'm not 100% sure, especially for the first two, if they were official releases or grey imports of US/Chinese stock - I'm more certain T-Wrecks was a grey import due to the other Dinobots not getting UK distribution A quick hunt on eBay hasn't found any of them in Euro boxes |

Pretty sure I got Ultra T-Wrecks from a discount store when they were doing the rounds along with the deluxe sized Dinobots. Really liked them, but unfortunately they haven't re-emerged from my parents loft so entirely possible I moved them on 10-12 years ago when I sold a load of TFs. Which is a shame as I must get them again then.
