    That and, you know, it's a completely different weapon than what his actual release came with...

    I know. It looks stupid, hence why it was a good call to scrap it.

    That Scavenger actually looks kinda better than what we got. I like that the body angles up. I don't think that is possible on the official release.

    No way! It's some kind of spinning-thing, like Dinobot's shield, except with blades!

    The change in design would explain why Sea Clamp comes with a launcher he can't even hold.

    Does anyone else think there were some superficial reasons for the naming of Rampage in Revenge of the Fallen? He's red, has claws and treads I also think the face is a little mandible like in the mouth area?

    Jeez if that's POTP Swoop he's large for a deluxe. Terrorsaur looks great btw, I don't think I'd seen him until your post the other day so congratulations on making another fine custom Dinotrap.

    Thanks @GALVATOM It’s the black mamba Oversized swoop, since he’s a fair bit bigger than the original deluxe he makes for a great terrorsaur :)

    Yeah, if I were a Predacon and I saw that coming out of the fog... I'd lose my mind.

    So Beast Machines Optimus Primal's monkey hands... would you say those are wires or lights? They seem to just be part of the texture of the model, but the weird cell shading in the show makes it hard to tell if they're supposed to be wires or lights.

    I assume you mean his forearms not hands? Iirc the ape mode has nearby like lights and the robot mode less so? On the toy (air attack Optimus Primal) the detailing is more like that of a circuit board diagram in robot mode, I guess I'd say they are whatever you want them to be. Personally I loved Primals robot and beast mode in that show.

    I feel like Dinobot would have the honor to let you leave with your life

    For me he’ll Be the best due to me not collecting G1 MPs. For the beast wars MPs this year if it’s just megs and a repaint well it’s no question who’ll be better (megs). V3 prime looks dope but to me it’s just another prime figure, hound also looks cool but doesn’t stand a chance against megs, but hey that’s the good thing about opinions :p
