    That Rhinox looks amazing, even to someone like myself who missed out on the Beast War series when it came out.

    have you seen the titanium magnus?

    it would be very simple to convert that design into a voyager (or larger) figure.

    the titanium magnus only had a few flaws.. flaws that could very easily be solved by more modern engineering.

    an opening matrix chamber and all that jazz is asking too much.. and i agree that, if we get an MP magnus, he'll come with those features.

    Yes Titanium Magnus is a decent representation of G1 Magnus but there is one majoy flaw in that logic and that is that he simply doesn't fit into the Generations aestetics.

    Generations is all about taking G1 characer and modernising and updating them and Titanium Magnus just sticks out of them as a sore thumb while say the 3rd party City Commander works much nicer in veins of what Generations is.

    Plus ALL of the recent Generations toys have been based on IDW character designs which mean that if we do get an Ultra Magnus he will be in his IDW design and not his G1 designs.

    Again to all people who want slavisly G1 cartoon accurate figures: You're collecting the wrong line.

    That's what Masterpiece does.

    So, since a MTMTE Whirl and Tailgate have been announce, was there no prototype pics of either of them? During the panel?

    They were shown at the panel but won't be revealed to the public until a later date. I'd assume SDCC will show them off.

    I'm not even into Beast Wars stuff, but Rhinox looks great. The alt mode makes him look like the toy weighs around five pounds. Super beefy!

    Look again at comment #317. I took out the feature suggestions that would not fit a Generations figure and added the suggestion of using a long nosed car-carrier truck for his alt-mode as an update of his original alt-mode.
