Mint in Package (MIP) Monday keeps on rolling out for BEAST WARS MONTH with a look at the very special 2000 BotCon The Wreckers Squadron Commander Apelinq and his team of Beasts! 3H Productions introduced this comic-based series at BotCon 2001 that gave many of the different exclusives from Beast Wars and Beast Machines a story of their own. As we can see from the debut promotional poster the team was made up of the following characters and toy redecos:
Apelinq - TransMetals Optimus Primal - 2000 Botcon exclusive
Primal Prime - TransMetals 2 Optimal Optimus - 2002 Amazon exclusive
Arcee - TransMetals 2 Blackarachnia - 2001 BotCon exclusive
Tigatron - Beast Wars Metals Ravage - 2001 BotCon exclusive
Packrat (Rattrap) - TransMetals Rattrap - 1999 Walmart exclusive
These figures are too rare and awesome not to share them all, so enjoy our special feature today that includes the entire 2001 The Wreckers team figures in the package.
I'm lucky enough to own Packrat and Apelinq. Sadly, Arcee, Tigatron, and Primal Prime will likely forever elude me.
