Hello transformerland community,
Long time reader first time poster as I was hoping someone would be able to help me gather some information on one of my beast wars Megatron Pieces.
From My understanding the red repaint of Megatron into T-REX happened in 1999, same sculpt but repaint of the original grey Megatron and Just a name change.
However my Megatron is RED, and the inside date stamps clearly read
1995 HASBRO INC
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
TAKARA 1995
MADE IN CHINA
I was really hoping someone could just shed some light on this version I have. I can not find any information on a red version on any of the pages across the internet , however there was a seller on ebay.com listing it as a rare but the information he gave in the description told me none of its history.
I would really love some information if anyone knows about a red Red Beast Wars Megatron release in 1995
Beast wars Red megatron (pulling my hair out)

I took some photos this morning and will post the links here, all my instincts tell me that its just a repaint but the 1995 date just throws me way off.
The original grey T-rex was released in 1995 - I have that toy and the stamp is identicle to the red release.
here are the links to the photos

OK Im going to call it a lost cause, and just run with him as I am pretty sure now it is just the Beast machines repaint. However I did discover one interesting thing, in 1996 the game Primal Rage had a character called Diablo looks oddly familiar

However i still would like to know how it ended up with a 95 stamp date on it
