I need!
Fallout
well we are just drowning in a sea of Longtooth, Straxus and Octopunch toys
Shark Jumper
These physical nfts are great, better than the lame weak sauce digital ones.

Can these be bought on BBTS or ShowZStore?
Powerbomb
He's a Humanoid walrus with a skull on his crotch…And he's an Autobot.
He's the BEST Pretender.
PoweredConvoy
They did appear in some more recent Japanese originating manga. I'm guessing there is interest in them as they're cool designs and have extra cool factor like a lot of Japanese characters do for non-Japanese collectors (see Star Saber, Overlord, etc.).
BB Shockwave
Really weird that they do these for Japan. What does the average japanese fan even know about Straxus and Banzai-Tron, who only ever appeared in western comics?
dragon
to quote emgo316 hurray for cards.,
unless these are going to be more made put with toys not many people will buy these like art
FrazzTF
These are super cute! Kind of a random selection of characters but I dig it.
Starscream Gaga
Rollermaster being with Straxus is a cute, if obscure, reference.
Omegaclaw2
Woops Longtooth is just some random-ass pretender
Omegaclaw2
What the hell are these picks. Beastformers. Banzaitron. STRAXUS.
