out of all the battle beasts that i had as a kid i remember not playing w/ the bear all that much. he didn't look all that tough to me and his armor was nothing special. even now as i collect them again he is not one of my favorite beasts.

what bb or lb is your least favorite and why? (if you have a reason?)

=)

[THEGODBEAST]

BB's...probably the polar bear or the terrier dog. The Polar bear doesn't even look like a polar bear and the dog is boring...ya know...the skunk sucks too!!! As artimus has point out in his "species thread" the skunk's gas mask and stripe are all that really identifies him as a skunk... He sucks too!!!

LB's...probably BOTH monkeys!!! Fighter monkey looks tarded and Jereer monkey has a pot leaf for a hand? WTF is that all bout?

I could care less about Bodacious Bovine. The figure never did it for, even though I'm going to add it to my collection anyways!

Also, I never liked the head on the Grizzly Bear. I looks like his head is about to explode.

And WTF is up with the Duck? Why, oh why did takara ever decide to make a Duck BB? I mean, it looks okay (I guess) but a Duck BB is just stupid!

i agree with you Marty,

and ya, WTF is up with a monkey having a pot leaf for a hand when everybody knows that they're on crack. Must be some freaking tree-hugging hippie with long hair working in the design deptartment for Hasbro back in the day. Someone should have told him/her to Quit dreaming about your lunch-break you freak and get back to work on that monkey.....


Lets not forget about the Flaming Flamingo.....yuck~!! i always have a smile on my face before i realize that he just fell down (again) that someone stole him, but no luck. Well he actually doesn't fall down, i just wish he would

i dont really have a least favorite, i like some more than others but none really stand out to me as blatantly stupid. you guys cited some fine examples though. i think the jeerer monkey character was created out of a crossover that involved the stoned cobra when they went on a journey to find the doobie rub and the bong of power...

[ComradeCuttlefish]

My favorites are as follows (in no particular order): Rabbit, Toad, Leapin' Lizard and the Cuttlefish

My least favorite is, without a doubt, Danger Dog.

Awwwww.....Skunk is one of my favorites. How can you say that. Hahaha, ok, well maybe the fact that he is one of only three original ones that I had as a kid. Infact, him and Chameleon were the first two I ever got. So maybe there are some sentimental/nostalgic feelings at work there, but still, I love him. As my character, he is kind of like a sneaky, stealthy ninja (although still good), who uses either nunchuks (for fast, multiple attacks) or a bo staff (for defense against stronger enemies or a slower, stronger attack). He has night vision, short burst jet boosters on his back to help him leap up to places or to get away, gas vents to gas out the enemy and is decently quick and agile. Of all my good guy Battle Beasts, he was always the darker, mysterious of all of them, and was also second in command behind Chameleon.

On a side note, I never had the weapons as a kid. I mean I was 4 years old, they were too small, I didn't care. So later on when I was 8 or so, to create the weapons for them, I would just look at what was on their shoulder, and say that those were their weapons, kind of for a visual reference. So Skunk used Nunchuks, Chameleon uses two Katanas, Elephant had his obvious sledghammer but also had a cross between a blade and a discus that he could hold or through, and it goes on like that. Even today, I still use those as their weapons for my original three beasts.

As far as my least favorites, well, I mean I like all the Battle Beasts and Laser Beasts. And because I went for 18 years only having a max of 4-5 at a time, I really cherish any new BB that I can get my hands on, however there are still some that I really don't like as much as others, Rubberneck Giraffe- just looks way too awkward to me, Hare Razing Rabbit- This one I never liked as a kid, but who knows, I may end up liking him once I actually get one, and Slowpoke Sloth- Of all the animals they still had yet to do in series 3, why did they do an animal that almost never moves. I just don't understand. The figure looks decent enough, but the animal itself I have always questioned.

For the LBs, the monkeys are pretty bad. I wouldn't mind picking them up for my collection, but as a kid they would have always been a bad guy that really gets beat up all the time.

Oh, and while I like the Duck, I have questions about him too. I don't have a problem with a Duck battle beast, but if you ar egoing to make one, why have it in baby duck colors? It just doesn't look intimidating to me. Well, in my storyline, I have it that he is really really bitter and grumpy, and as a bad guy he's actually meaner than most because of going through his entire life of not being taken seriously, being called "cute" on several occassions.

Crusty crab sucks and what the heck is an ardvark?Hey i like the skunk too

I totally agree! Bodacious Bovine was sort of a boring figure. When it came to my battle beast battles back in the day he was always the first to die.

so goes the life of the cow! always destined for the slaughterhouse.

[trumanshower]

the one i least liked was the rabbit, because it was the figure i had the most! i also didn't like the duck , sire horse and danger dog, and also the colonel bird (i remind you that the 3rd serie doesn't exist in france).
the worst weapons, for me, is the koala's one, because it really doesn't look like a BB weapon!

[grimerslimer]

There are a few I don't care for:

Pirate Lion: Surprisingly enough it is the maine (I can't spell...forgive me) that anoys me about him. His maine is more like some GQ hair style. It would be much better if it ran under his chin. Other than the maine I like him though.

TT Snake: I hate how he stands, and how he holds his weapon. With fourth_heir's custom paint he is bearable now though.

Owl: The idea is good, but the wings are weak! I also don't like the stumpy arms.

Squirel: I don't like the position of his arms. I pay attention to small details, and his arms seem to be too far forward, like he's trying to squeeze his chest together.

Skunk: He's ugly, and the white stripe isn't a stripe at all, and he's ugly.

There are others that I am not too fond of, but they are more for animal choice than for problems with the beast design.

There are far more that I like than those that I dislike though

[Red Marauder]

Frenzied Flamingo is a horrible example. And the worst Laserbeast is certainly Monkey Fighter. He looks like a deformed troll.
As for 'the first casualty', I'd have to say Hardtop Tortoise consistently met an early end.

WHO'D BE WILLING TO DO CUSTOMS #'S 6 (straighten up Snake's neck) and 106?

Hello,

I would have to say that my least favorite Battle Beast is Frenzied Flamingo.

Thank You,
