Hello, LRG,

CCVegita, Matthew Fitz, and I are pleased to present the...

Greek Battle Beasts Archive!

This site is dedicated to documenting the Greek Battle Beasts (Tepato Maxoi) in all their brilliant colors! If you're not really sure what Greek Battle Beasts are, check out the site and have a look at the "info" page.

I did the html coding and created many of the graphics, CCVegita provided 99% of the images, made the figure cutouts for the archive, and provided me with the information for organizing and labeling the figures, and Matthew provided the information and pictures for the info page, as well as pictures of his Greek Beasts for the archive. And all three of us would like to give special thanks to Mr. Scumdogg for the effing awesome picture on the splash page.

If you'd like to submit pictures for the archive, send a PM to CCVegita. He has perfected a simple but effective method for getting great, clear pictures for the archive.

We hope you enjoy!

Awsome job, I can't wait to see it filled!

[CCVegita]

Also, I would like to again thank Scumdogg for drawing up our intro page. Now everyone knows why I was hounding them for Greek pictures.

[THEGODBEAST]

Well it was more Soups & CCVegita on this one, I had very little input other that the info section! They both did a great job on the rest of the site though and I think it looks awesome

Soups and I have a couple of things in the pipe-line already but creating/helping out with an MIMP or FOP site would be great

[koppenschevelle]

Man, really great job on this guys!!!! I would love to see how far this could expand.

I don't have any Greek Battle Beasts to add to the archive, however I will say that I have seen both a complete Black Triple Threat Snake and a complete Tan Hardtop Tortoise on ebay. I know because I so desperately tried to purchase the Snake, but I was outbid. They were in an auction together, and I didn't want the Tortoise as much. I believe it was someone here on the boards that actually purchased the two. Anyways, I do know that those two exist.

Man, it feels like i've been waiting forever for this thing to go up, and now the debut slips by me for a day!

Great looking site guys, even if it does make me want to take the plunge into Greek Beast territory.

And thanks again for bringing me on to do the artwork, it was a good time!

[trumanshower]

excellent job guys!!! i really love the way you did that, and the artwork is awesome !!! congrats !!

@koppenschevelle : i think i still have somewhere the photo of this auction.

In france some guys have greek BB, i know LMDLU, french kiki and Chogokin jawa have one or more of them.

[Soupie]

Well, I am happy and humbled that you guys are pleased. I can't wait to see the number of documented figures grow as well! Speaking of which... does anybody have a green figure!

[CCVegita]

I am pretty sure it was Fossilsaur who won the two greeks off ebay (green tortoise and black snake). I PMed him but he hasnt been around for a long time. We could ask the original seller if he has the original pictures.....but he is "he who shall not be named".

[dankingery]

hehe.. yeah, good luck getting cooperation from them.

[WhiteLeo]

Awesome job guys!!!!! I love the whole look of the guide. Very Nice job!

[Ghost Lion]

Wow! That is great. Nice site. What a great resource, thanks.

[trumanshower]

try to pm chogokin jawa, i think he still have a green ferocious tiger.

[WhiteLeo]

I might point out thet it really isn't "Tepato Maxoi" in Greek P's are R's and X's are KH's. So it would be "Terato Makhoi".

[Soupie]

I wonder why they chose to English-ise it?

[WhiteLeo]

I wonder why they chose to English-ise it?

Actually the Rominization of it would be "Terato Makhoi" that logo is acutally all the Greek Language just capitalized. Capitalized it is ΤΕΡΑΤΟ ΜΑΧΟΙ or Lower case Τερατο Μαχοι.

Just when most people see that they think the it is was a "P" in Greek it would look like this "Π".

[nicodemus]

I'm not surprised that this site looks AMAZING! I expect nothing less when Fitz & Soups get together...and adding CCVegita and Scumdogg to the mix was a wise choice - as the site looks great.

I found the site to be laid out extremely well and very easy to navigate. Also, it contains TONS of helpful information on a line that I knew very little about going in.

Thanks for sharin' the knowledge!

[Soupie]

Actually the Rominization of it would be "Terato Makhoi" that logo is acutally all the Greek Language just capitalized.

Wait... now I'm confused. I thought you just said Greek doesn't have P's and R's. But the logo is Greek? And what does Roman have to do with anything? Greek Battle Beasts are from Greece, right?

Capitalized it is ΤΕΡΑΤΟ ΜΑΧΟΙ or Lower case Τερατο Μαχοι.

Uh, yeah, that's how it's spelled in the logo, and how Fitz and I spell it... What am I missing here?

[matthewf1tz]

Wait... now I'm confused.

B D Foxmoor mailed me to say it is teratomaxoi

I'm really confused too that it seems to have various spellings P's, R's X's KH's...what's going on

There even seems to be confusion between Greek people as to what they are called. I've seen sites use both the P and the R

And to make it even more confusing Exogini is spelt ΕΞΩΓΗΙΝΟΙ or Eksogiinoi

[Soupie]

Maybe Exogini, planning to sell these outside Greece, thought a more "Western" spelling would be more appealing?

[WhiteLeo]

This might clear things up.

I probably should have explained myself better. I didn't want poeple thinking that it was an actual "p" and pronounced with a "p". Sorry for the confusion.

[mrjayberry]

So I should say Terato Makhoi, but spell it Tepato Maxoi correct.

[matthewf1tz]

I probably should have explained myself better. I didn't want poeple thinking that it was an actual "p" and pronounced with a "p". Sorry for the confusion.

thanks Steve, I think my ignorance of other languages was hindering me grasping this!! I'm nearly there now

edit: so in other words the Greek symbol 'P' just happens to look like an English 'P' when translated it is 'R'

we should either call them: τερατομάχοι in lower case or in capitals TEPATOMAXOI as per your chart?
