    That'd be cool, but I'm not sure it'd work out entirely, considering that in BWII Thrustor's animation model is heavily toy-based, and the MP is obviously inspired by the Mainframe animation model. Thrustor is also portrayed as a normal-sized bot, unlike Dinobot who's above average height.

    Holy shit... Just... HOOOLEEY SHEEIT!

    Maybe my expectations were too low, but with how much Dinobot's transformation cheated in the show with so many parts stretching, detaching altogether, shrinking, and more, I just didn't see this possibly coming out too great. I figured best case scenario would be a really rough dino mode and a decent robot mode only from maybe the front, with ugly kibbles and bits visible from all other angles. Of course the beast mode will have seams everywhere, that's just impossible to avoid but it actually looks alright and bot mode is WAY closer to the show model than I expected. And this is just the early prototype pics!!
    I mean, they had to do Dinobot, him being the most beloved character from Beast wars to so many fans, but I didn't think a figure this close to accurate was possible.

    I can't wait to see more!

    When can we expect pics from the wonderfest, just assuming he'll be on display (he has to be) its basicly August and still no full colour pics or release date. Imagine if he wasnt alone, oh man imagine a rattrap beside him, now I'm just getting hyped up even more :D

    So anybody think he'll be a hot mess or the best masterpiece to date. With all the time takara are putting into this guy I have a feeling he is going to open up a new door in terms of masterpiece engineering. Gives me hope for rhinox and rattrap :)

    Maybe a faux backpack just like the rat head, but how will it all shift around? I'm really curious to see how dinobots chest works as well

    I would personally prefer any characters othwr than Rhinox and Rattrap being done for now - their Generationa figures are fine standins for now. Think the next most likely ispeobably BW Megatron

    They will have to create an 8 dimensional space to hire those faux parts.

    Fair warning guys, the first one who bumps this thread while Wonfes is going on without posting actual pictures or information regarding MP Dinobot gets to partake in a special re-enactment of "Code of Hero". As Waspinator.

    You have been warned.

    The generations updates are cool and i have them displayed with the original bw figures, they need updating if they want to be displayed with mp primal and cheetor, look at it this way we basically have 3 of the 5 maximals getting rhinox and rattrap out of the way would be smart, plus we could get repaints of those figure too :D

    he wasnt saying they shouldnt get masterpieces, he was just saying not yet, and honestly i agree. for now they should skip rhinox, rattrap and waspinator and instead give us tigatron, airazor, megatron, scorponok, terrorsaur, tarantulus, blackarachnia and inferno. the 3 generations figures are decent enough for now that they should focus on characters that havent really had any sort of update first

    Remove blackarachnia from that list then, the legend version is a really good one, even if the original body comes from animated. A bit tall, yes, but an excellent BA nontheless.
