    Meh. I'd rather wait longer for a good figure than have wind up the the Beast Wars equivalent of mp 05.

    Anybody else think that MP Waspinator should come with the cubed version of himself as an excesory?

    Seems a bit excessive considering how much molding and paint would go in there, but I wouldn't complain.

    I just hope he comes with random blown apart parts of himself, that would make for some fun accessories.

    It could substitute the lack of alternate beast mode heads since Waspinator didn't really emote in alt mode unless it was a sight gag.

    Yeah, that's true, Waspinator needs no alternate heads in beast mode, maybe they can articulate the mandibles though.

    So I'm watching some old BW episodes, and I just realized something. Who else thinks that DB should come with crap ton of guns and the amo bandleaders he has in comeing of the fusors.

    Honestly? I wouldn't want it. It'd be cool, but it'd bump the price up big time for accessories that appeared all of twice.

    I've already bought 2 1/6 scale bandoleers and a similar gun to the one he uses in COTF so I'm fully prepared for TT to not include any accessories (other than the Gooden Disc of course!)

    Also- I think it'd be pretty sweet if we get our first look at Dinobot on page 100. That's a nice round milestone number which would really soothe my OCD gene and give his announcement a real sense of fatefulness.
    But there's over two weeks till the Tokyo toy show and somehow we keep finding new ways to talk about Dinobot. Maybe page 111 is more likely and would be even more pleasing!

    The same could be said of Cheetor's butt gun.

    Cheetors butt gun appeared in almost every episode that both he and tigatron were in, which is more than two

    You're thinking of the gut cannon. Either that or I have them mixed up. All I know is that one gun is used SIGNIFICANTLY more than the other.

    Except Dinobot's Coming of the Fuzors weapons aren't part of his body.

    You have them mixed up. The pink-gutted, more traditionally sci-fi shaped gun is the one Cheetor used as a default. However Tigatron (being a Cheetor retool) used the exact same gun as his default weapon, except in white and green. So to help distinguish them, any time Cheetor and Tigatron shared an episode, Cheetor switched to his butt gun, the one that looks more like a normal rifle and has the wide rear section. So it was used quite often, just not as mch as his normal gun. Certainly more than twice, though. He at least used it three times, once in Tigatron's intro episode, once in The Probe, and once in Law of the Jungle. (it even had its own sound effect)

    Huh. I did not know that. That is very interesting. I'm gonna go rewatch season 1 and keep an eye out for that.

    Then you souls also know how stupid it is that TT hasn't announced an MP Tigatron yet, even though we've had Cheetor for months now!

    Ha ha, Tigatron is going to be the Beast Wars fan's Sunstreaker. Five years after Sideswipe, the G1 fans are still waiting for the other Lambo twin.
