    You're welcome! I've always believed that my world improves when the people around me are happy, and I want everyone to share in the Transformers love (considering how much joy they's brought me). That goes for my family and friends as well as this community of shared interest (who often bicker like a family). And watching Beast Wars has been on my to-do list for a while now, so hopefully someday soon; so many good shows to catch up on and watch... :D

    Order secured on HLJ! :D  (For $45 less than the $250 sticker price... bit less painful, especially considering how much EMS will add to that total.)

    It's really hard to discern, with the photos they gave us...

    I am not even a big Beast Wars fan, but after seeing those photos I am blown away. I must have him and probably I will end up buying two, because I want to display one in alt mode and one in robot mode with the laser-shooting eyes.

    The raptor looks decent, better than all realistics dinobot modes we've gotten here, but yep, looks a bit gappy, but not bad, in fact, looks better than cheetor's alt-mode.
    The robot however, it's amazing, defnitely well-done, i hope we get a BW Megatron soon.


    STILL curious to see how's the eyes gimick on both modes works, definitely a nice plus, in addiotion, dinobot looks to be massive and bulk, they nailed that aspect in toy.

    He looks phenomenal and I love Beast Wars, but that doesn\'t change the fact that asking $260 for a figure this size is ridiculous. For that much money, this thing would have to be literally flawless, and as good as it looks, it isn\'t.

    Exactly. When G1 or Animated Fans (or whatever incarnation you're a fan of), get figures/toys they like and want, I'm happy for them and hope they enjoy them! :thumb 

    (Give BW a go when you can, you might be pleasantly surprised!) :)

    I'm in the cave with Plato on this one.

    At least one mystery no longer plagues my mind.

    I now know how Dinobot was able to shoot things with his sword in the bW game hehe

    As for your WDF does this go--I think that's part of his arm. Outer bicep maybe....

    So not only does the default robot face look a million times better than the ones in the other pics, but the beast eyes change, too!

    Same here! Started with G1 when the cartoon first aired. While I initially rejected Beast Wars I eventually gave it a chance and ended up loving the story and characters.

    Too big to be the arm. I think those parts are just gonna go inside the torso and line the sides to create a little inner bowl.
    IMG_2170.PNG
    If you zoom you can see there's curved raptor flesh on the other side of the blue panels. It may not be the exact part but I bet they're in there somewhere so, unless they're a double-sided piece, their sole purpose is to cover the shoulder pads and elongate the legs in beast mode which just makes TT all the more genius and ballsy for daring to include such large single-purpose parts and still find a way to have them store away when there's already so much else they needs to hide.

    They've never had anything like this for any other Masterpiece.
