Whoo! My adorable little Gigastorm. ^_^ I'd been waiting, lurking around
eBay (which seems to be one of the few places Beast Wars cels pop up with any
regularity) for cels of him to pop, and so they did. He's just as cute
as can be, here. ^_^ There's just something all too appealing about a giant
robotic dinosaur who keeps calling another robot "Nii-chan" in the most
adorable way.

And since we have him above in his later state, here he is as he originally
appears, before he got his 'giga.' That's Megastorm in the back; back in the
ol' days, he turned into a tank. But, that wasn't a 'beast' so I guess
they had to do away with it toward the end, and animal him up a bit. I think
I liked him better as a tank, just because he's got a silly cute face. ^_^;;
I should note, this is a book cel, and the background/foreground elements
are actually larger than shown even in the oversized thumbnail, measuring about 36
x 44.5cm. The cel itself is also quite huge, at 27.5 x 38cm.

Sadly, I had to cut out much of the background for the thumbnail size..
A nifty shot of Gigastorm with his dear elder brother, Galvatron, and
Starscream as well. My three favourite BW bad guys all in one cel.
Isn't
it just precious as could be?

Uwheee.. I absolutely love the colours in this cel. So vibrant and pretty.
I couldn't resist it from the moment I saw it. Beyond the simple brigtness
and loveliness of the colours, the contrast of shades just really makes it
stand out. It's just one of those cels I can gaze at. ^_^
And isn't
Gigastorm just the cutest thing you ever did see?

Artemis ponders the inner mysteries of some pink stuff in a cup. Is it
shaved ice? Is it severely deformed cotton candy that's been left out too
long? Flamingo bits? The world may never know. Until I see that episode,
anyway.
Artemis is apparently the 'cute girl' of the series; somehow, though,
I've really had a hard time seeing her as 'cute.' She creeps me out a bit.

Artemis with Moon, her cute bunny sidekick. Moon's voice is almost a little
too cute, but what is one to do? It's adorable enough that it works.
And yet, Artemis still just doesn't strike me as cute. Full body
shot of her, though. She's got an interesting design; the hair's a touch...odd.

Megastorm/Gigastorm's big bro. ^_^ Awww.. There's just something entirely
touching about a loving family. While they might not exactly be what one
would call a 'loving family' they're...well, they're brothers, anyway.
I've yet to figure out why ol' Galvatron's so pink. ^_^;; He's so..well, he
doesn't exactly seem like the sort of character who would be pink. And yet he
is..
|
 |
Here's Moon again. If he looks a bit different, that's because he's
transformed, of course. They wouldn't be Transformers if they didn't do
some switchin' around.
In Moon's case, he sort of flips over. ^_^;; His
head in this form is his essentially bum in his bunny-form, and vice-versa.
What a screwy robot. . . But he's got very cute eyes.

Galvatron transformed; he's a big, nifty dragon. Isn't that keen? I suppose
if one has to transform into an animal, this is the way to go. (Even if it
is a bit...eh...pink.)
Another very oversized cel; A1 End pan shot.
Barely fit into
the scanner, it did; there's actually a bit more area to the cel, which was
cropped out for the sake of the thumbnail. The cel measures 27 x 41cm.

Well, with all the bad guys running about, I suppose it would do to have
a cel of our goodie-goodie, Big Convoy. Even if he is just
a hero, he is pretty keen. In the end, though, I just bought the cel because the colouring
and detail looked so fantastic. ^_^;; My scan, sadly, looks very shoddy in
comparison.
In order to fit a representative view of him into the thumbnail,
I had to cut out much veiw of the lovely, starry background.
