    Not a fan of them putting the Dinobots and other non-BW guys in, seems a little eh, I get why, I don't like it.

    Huh? You don't want more Dinobots or non-BW guys in a G1 centric (so far) game. Alright?

    The BW Megatron and Optimus Primal designs look... interesting to say the least.

    Could those Primal and Megatron's designs be the base for their Generations figures?

    They kinda look like their previous updates, e.g. the Anniversary figures before generations. Also I hope not, they both look EHHH

    Megatron specifically looks a lot like his BW 10th Anniversary mold. Primal is, well, not as impressive to my eyes. Hope the bot modes are good. I'm excited to have them in game.

    Yeah; those look like the BWX toys. Which wasn't a great choice as those aren't the best updates.

    Wish we can see more BW characters and not just Primal and BW Megatron but maybe they're reserving them for the actual story.

    I saw so many people on facebook threatening not to play the game anymore if they did not stay G1 only. While I don\'t particularly care for BW, I\'m down for more than one continuity in the game.

    Well that's just stupid. Extra bots are lots of fun and what is the harm in catering to fans of other storylines? Personally, I loved Beast Wars and this announcement is extremely exciting. I'm glad they are trying to mix it up a bit and keep things fresh and new.

    I agree with you on multiple counts, especially that it's being stupid, extra bots are fun, and mixing it up. I'm also curious what their powers will be.

    Isn't Beast Wars considered to be a part of the G1 continuity though? Maybe I misunderstood this growing up.

    I wonder if this is a sign that sludge and snarl may be coming to the game soon.

    A Beast Wars-themed event?

    Awesome. I hope they include a few other Beast era characters besides Primal and Megatron.

    This picture is interesting, as it previews some new bots. However, there are two bots on the \'Con side here I can\'t identify. Since this looks a little \"Call of the Primitives\" in this wallpaper, they would have to be beast characters. There are two fliers on the \'Con side. One is Divebomb. Is the other Cutthroat? Who or what is facing off with Snarl in the back center?

    Edit: Looking closely, it's Tantrum facing off with Snarl.

    I'm surprised no one has brought up Cheetor and Rhinox's new designs yet. I like them from what we can see of them.
