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?
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
I think I'm a bit too old for this toy discussion but i want to join in anyway and this piece reminds me of the crossfire commercial.
Youll get caught up in the.... Crossfire!
Crossfire... Crossfire
CROSSFIIIYYYERRR!

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
You must've been pretty young alright, because there's no character called Tigon in Beast Wars, lol.
Tigertron? I can't remember
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
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.
You mean they... Became multiple genders?
