London Expo Haul part 1

Yes, here they are... Photos of the BotCon 2006 'Dawn of Futures Past' Boxed Set, containing the Cybertronian forms of Maximals Rhinox, Rattrap, Optimus Primal and Cheetor, along with Predacon Dinobot. Now, if only someone could explain why they have animalistic names if they're in their pre-Beast Wars forms...


This is the boxed set in all its glory. Note the storytelling comic book at the side. The story is a bit of patchwork, explaining what happened before the first episode of the Beast Wars TV series.


From left to right, Rhinox, Rattrap, Optimus Primal and Cheetor, based on the molds first used for Galaxy Force Guardshell, Gasket, Land Bullet and Skids. For the most part, they're only recoloured, but Optimus Primal and Cheetor sport entirely new head molds.
