    - What's with the "275" on Rhinox's chin? I don't get the reference...
    - What mistransformation do you see in Skids? I'm not seeing it, but I don't always have an eye for those things.
    - That BH Prowl looks beautiful... and also hand-painted. I'll eat my hat if he looks that good on the shelves.

    Mostly, I think his backpack is hanging low, plus whoever put the display together seems to have not pulled his limbs out and away from his body and as such looks like he's on a crowded bus.

    With hasbro's horrible paint apps history if retail generation skids comes with all that silver and half the paint apps seen in them pics I will be very happy!

    I'm pretty sure that's just part of Hasbro's system to keep track of prototypes and test shots (in case they are stolen/resold/whatever) and not a reference to anything from Beast Wars.

    I'm kinda impressed with the little Maximal symbols on Rhinox's helmet. Hope those don't get budgeted out before final production.

    Several really compelling offerings here... Skids, Waspinator and Rhinox top my list. All three are beautiful.

    What's the deal with that unpainted Predaking (gestalt)? It looks like a 3P product...

    I just hope we don't get screwed over by the movie toys. Walmart, Target, TRU and the like not ordering the Generation line in favor of TF4 toys.

    has anyone else noticed that razorclaw is holding his pistol backwards and by the barrel? I guess he didn't take the hunter education class. hes gonna lose a finger or a hand that way. I bet the other preds are all laughing at him saying "youll put your eye out, youll put your eye out!" lol

    Most of those look pretty sweet, and last year I would have went nuts looking for most of them, but let's face it it's just more fantastic looking product 75% of the buying public will never see to spend the money on.

    Good stuff. That Cryopredaking looks very vibrant. I kinda wish they went a bit more techno organic with Rhinox in beast mode, in order to give him some beast poseability, but still looks great.

    I love love love that they molded a smirky grin on Swerves face. It makes me want a 'My first blaster' for him even more.

    Prowl gives a very animated vibe from his face sculpt.

    I for one am going to order the pieces I want online. I'm not messing around with case distro with T4mers on the way. It's too sketchy.

    The wall of Metroplex was at the BBTS stand, and they were saleable products. Very few (if any) were left on Sunday :)

    You know, if somebody had the time and money to army build Metroplex, then repaint all but one of him and remold some of the heads, those would be some awesome metro-titans!

    Did we not get any Hasbro, airbrushed photos of what I assume is WFC Prowl? I never saw him in any of the articles posted throughout the con.
