    Very nice.
    He seems to have a knack for designing a character with transformations in mind.

    Funny, I'd love a Terrorsaur as well. It's one of those characters I didn't really connect to during the tv-show, but I always thought his design and altmode were cool, and the toy didn't catch that properly.

    So yes, I'd gladly buy a Terrorsaur. :)

    Terrorsaur would be super hard to do. He's one of the most cheaty designs in the show.

    These sketches are wicked, BTW.

    That would be cool, but his design in the show was nothing like the toy. I don't think they'd be able to pull it off.

    So basically its a sketch of a cgi model that itself was based on a concept sketch/toy. So revolutionary.

    Being interested in Generations and pretty much anything 'making of' related, I do enjoy seeing things like these great sketches.

    With TG-23 Metroplex having arrived yesterday, snapping up Waspinator and his wave mates will be much easier on my shelving and finances by comparison. ;)

    Me too! But I think I'd be happy with a Takara version of the original toy. The mold is the same as the one we got, but the color scheme is much more show accurate:

    Waspinator's sketch almost reminds me of Transquito. That would be amazing if they retooled the mold as him, though he'd probably shelfwarm.

    I hope that perhaps they'll do a repaint and new head sculpt for Venom with this mold... Seeing as Cicadas aren't venomous and all... My :2c:

    I suppose the toy could just be really cheaty too.

    One of the few easily spotted of the repaint versions for Takara's BW. It really makes a huge difference. I love mine.

    "Waspinator has (design) plans..."

    Looking good! Insect beast modes are still difficult to execute, but this toy's definitely more show-accurate.
