not really Battle Beast bootlegs as they dont share any sculpts/ parts... just similar in nature.

There still very cool and were made in china. I have about 5 of them. Plus i just sore a auction on ebay for about 10 of them and it fecthed a good price in the end. I would trade them with you for some reguler battle beasts if you need any. Just let me know. Jay
Didn't you tell me you DIDN't win that lot?

Yeah, there's an older pic above, but here's the back for anyone who cares.
I kinda wanna see the insert for Zuetron Defenders now...do they have names too? If so...same as Transmegators? Hmmm......
Out of the eleven I got, only one was a double. Good news, though...that double was a color variation! Man, how many variations are out there, I wonder?
Their backsides...just because.
More versions of these guys.
Actually made of a softer material than the packaged ones I just got. Still flexible, though.
Their backsides as well.
Now a bunch of Zuetron Defenders...you know...just to get 'em out there if anyone wants to see how many versions exist.
These are the ones with the black paint apps.
It's weird how most have black on their chest and back, while some have it only on their back or chest.
Those are the ones without any black paint apps on either sides of their upper bodies. I didn't bother taking a picture of their backs...but if you reeeally have the urge to see 'em...holler!
Just for fun...a nice group shot:
I kinda like these as Battle Beast civilians or something to that effect. Transmegators are like ones in normal street clothes, and Zuetron Defenders might be military guys or something to be commanded by Battle Beasts. You know, like teams! That's why I love these boys.

Were they moved?
.
not that it is discounted. We as consumers are conditioned to think"On Sale"means it's cheaper.

Figured this was the closest we had to an "official" Transmegators/Zeutron Defenders thread so I wanted to post this here. As such, could we get a title change for this thread to something more specific? (maybe, Transmegators/Zeutron Defenders - Battle Beasts Knockoffs"?)
Anyway, a few weeks ago I noticed this box of Transmegators in clear polys on Mandarake. Just thought this was interesting as I'd not heard of these being sold outside of Europe before, and these appear to be packaged to be sold in Asia (assuming Japanese but I can't see the text clearly enough). All the Transmegators I've seen have come in the polybags like the one Eric and countzackula posted earlier in the thread.

Any interest or info on these anymore? I may be scoring a couple of them off of a guy, and was happy to find some info about them. Really clueless about price though!

There is quite some interest known about these fellows by now out here and on the web but the info is quite scattered..... Just search for Zuetron Defenders or Transmegators to define which line you actually have or will get as that might make things a bit more easy along the way. As for the price that doesnt make a whole lot of a difference though because for both the prices seem to be around $5-15 max each and in most cases when these show up in larger lots the average price a fig might even go below the $5 each. So dont expect to much of them price wise.
Good luck!
