    I would love beast machines. Loved the show and characters. The toys on the other hand weren't the best. Some were okay. Others were bad. Like none of them were screen accurate.
    I hope so. Otherwise the beastformers would be tiny. I would rather have gaint beasts.
    I have the figure. It isn't great. A update would be nice.
    Yeah.
    Woo. That would be nice. I would love big insecticons. Like Voyager size.
    And they could work them in. Since weren't the insecticons like ancient decepticons that had been on earth for a LONG time. Like billions of years?

    This made me laugh and it doesn't help that they were posted at 4:20.

    Still no HD version of the poster? Damn.

    I swear I can see BW Megs' face reflected in the left side of the disk, with his eyes peering out just underneath the circular feature:

    [​IMG]

    I mean, we know how shining and reflective the disk was:

    Could it also be playing into this bit of symbolism from the original Beast Wars marketing?

    So if this is all Beast Wars themed which seems to be case (thank Primus), then who's the titan? To my knowledge, there's no titan sized characters from Beast Wars. Maybe it's just Unicron and no Titan.
    1:1 scale.

    most importantly: if Siege was about the civil war on Cybertron and Kingdom is about the a post-G1 conflict, what exactly was Earthrise about?

    The theory that seems to be gaining popularity is that it will be the Ark. It has featured on all 3 posters throughout the Trilogy...

    Still cheaper than HasLab Unicron.

    Chasing the Allspark through space, I think.

    You can also see him in T-Rex mode next to Blackarachnia's head.

    Which makes it all the more likely that it's his face reflected on the disk. Otherwise, his underlings in Blackarachnia and Scorponok are featured more prominently than he is, which doesn't match his character at all.

    The usual '80 "Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons" of the original cartoon. I mean, its not like its a part of the lore that need too much explaining.

    I really hope they get the old voice cast back together for this. David Kaye stating that he was working on some projects he couldn't disclose has me cautiously optimistic, however the fact that they went with non-union talent for the WFC show so far worries me.

    Fingers crossed!

    could it be possible for non-union and union actors to work on a project like this as guest stars?

    Very possible. It also looks like Megatron's hand/Rex head holding the disk.

    I don't really know how that kinda stuff works but I really hope so!

    Great, I will be able to save money for third party stuff. Would have made more sense to do beast wars between siege and earthrise but whatev.

    All the G1-only fans are going "Phew my wallet can take a break" and me, the BW fan is going "...oh god I'm gonna be double broke." x_x

    I think the thing obscuring the bottom of the disk is the rear of the Ark. You can see it's thrusters.

    You shouldn't be. You've had 25 years to save up for this :p

    Ah yeah, good catch on the thrusters. It does look like the ark.

    No judgement. More of a comment on the steal that is a Titan class Verno.
