beast wars masks

Post by LD2062 »

Whats with all the masks on the BW figures? I don't recall them in the show. And they almost always cannot be moved out of the way completely in robot mode.

Its just some stupid gimick its acually called the "Mutant head/face".

Im pretty sure you can remove most of them I think they just pop off.

They were supposed to be in the show, but never were. It's like Optimus Prime's faceplate in the Movieverse and Animated.

The early toys were developed before the animated series, the masks are a gimmick that was abandoned during pre-production.

If you have the BW DVD's there are some very early character models with the masks and such on them. (and are a lot more toy accurate)

{Note from transmetals onwards the masks and mutant faces were removed.}
