BEASTWARS - B'BOOM

This figure is from 1997. He is a Maximal and a member of the pack. he did not appear in any American cartoons but features in the second series of beast wars in Japan. he first appeared i the comic series beast wars " The Gathering" episode 1. he also appeared in beast wars "The Ascending" part 7

From my own comic "The Ascending"

MOTTO; " Show me the wall...I'll bang my head against it"

FUNCTION; Guerrilla war expert

ALTERNATE MODE; Mandrill

TECH SPEC B'Boom is sheer fury unleashed. He has trouble containing himself when there are battles to be won. Ferocious in battle, but when he gets that savage fire in his eyes, look out. Like an explosion, he launches into battle with an unmatched fury. He is very unpredictable, but the other Maximals feel safe with him around. He is a good friend to all Maximals, but untrusting of outsiders. He is protective of his Maximal friends. He looks out for their well-being, especially taking care of the smaller or less experienced Maximals. Strong willed, he will speak his mind to commander or subordinate alike. B'Boom is unwavering under pressure, he could be a one-bot army or command a small team of soldiers. He is focused in battle, yet extremely clever. He may either out muscle or outwit his opponents in battle. Many unsuspecting Predacons have felt the incredible wrath that comes with standing in the way of his objective.

It also came with original instructions.

B'Boom is well detailed and is very comic accurate and true to life in his Mandrill form. he has lots of details. His intermediate mode uses his mutant face. This mode is a bit clumsy. His missile weapons can store in beast mode.

If you press the Mandrills right ear his eyes widen and his mouth opens to reveal a rocket launcher.

In robot mode there is no place for his shoulder panels to go and they can restrict his arm movements. His feet are weird and he walks on the back of his Mandrill feet. He has pointed ears and good face details. he has a Mahican hair style and was called Apache in Japan. His gun does not stay well in his hand. His hands should be articulated.
