Oh fuck! My best friend had those exact bionicles when I was a kid!

I was a Beast Wars fan, although I was too young when I watched it to remember much of the plot other than Megatron saying "Yeeees" a lot, and thinking Tigon was cool.

I had this Beast Wars Transmetal toy when I was a single digits old.

I wish I still had it, but unfortunately he was one of my favourite toys and eventually after many years his legs fell off and he was thrown out by my parents.

That looks very cool. But its not as cool as my beyblade.

When I was 12 I saw younger kids on the school bus being into beyblade and for some reason turning spinning tops into another pokemon knockoff was what made me give up.the whole thing for years

Another toy my bestie had.

Wait... ARE YOU MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Only the coolest millenial kids had these toys. My childhood friend didn't have any toys was mostly a gamer, we would play Smash TV over and over and then I'd watch him play those weird duke nukem ps1 tomb raider style games. He also introduced me to tekken.

Did your childhood friend have the coolest toy though?

The pokemon gold promo cards from burger king?

If not. I'm simply too cool to have been your childhood friend

Oh and geomag

You must've been pretty young alright, because there's no character called Tigon in Beast Wars, lol.

Tigatron was one of the two cat-related characters along with Cheetor, yeah.

Yeah, this guy!

He was a hippy who lived away from the others

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He also had a romance with Airazor, the female bird Transformer (that became an accidental gay romance in Japan since Airazor was male there), and they got abducted by the Vok and combined into Tigerhawk, who was around for like two episodes.
