    That is true, and I do agree that most of them having the "stand up-ish" transformation (and all of them being dragons) is pretty boring.

    Grimwing is more of a gryphon than a dragon.

    Nicest of the beast molds so far. Colors far better than the poor others

    You're both wrong and also have bad hair. Grimwing is just like 90% of the other beasts: four-legged thing with wings on it's back and some kind of snouted/beaked face.

    More believable than a white & black Mirage is. Or a Nitro Convoy with a pink face.

    blue guy's skystalker, and i have to agree that for how much i love his beast mode, his transformation is literally standing him up and just opening hia dragon mouth.

    Odd, TFWiki doesn't seem to actually say that. And googling "Ursagryph" brings up just 2 pages, and nothing directly about a mythical falcon-bear.

    ^ Ah. Still would expect Wikipedia or Theoi.com or something to have a page about this ursagryph...

    Also doesn't change the fact that this particular 4-legged, winged beast with a segmented robot exoskeleton isn't terribly different from the other 4-legged, winged beasts with a segmented robot exoskeleton. :p

    The only bear/bird hybrid beastie I've ever heard of is the owlbear, and since Hasbro owns WotC, all I'm thinking of now are missed opportunities.

    I like this because its gonna be a peg warmer and that means when I have the money I can buy it and give it a more feminine head probably a reprinted retooled Scarlett head

    The whole line could peg warm. But if anything sells this seems to be one of the most popular so far.

    Wondering how long it will be before someone uses shapeways to make her an underboob chestplate, and a different head.

    I personally feel of the four Beast Hunters I own so far that Lazerback is the most fun to fiddle about with, Ripclaw is the nicest looking, and Predaking has the most interesting transformation. Smokescreen is an all-rounder, with good design, fun and engineering but nothing quite on the same level as those three. Though he's close in some respects.
