    I'm going to find David Kaye, and ask him to sign on of these.

    So glad this confirms if we're getting preorders on the same day they're revealed or not. :D  The first chance I get I'm SOOOO preordering all of the BW and Fossilizer characters especially on how awesome BW Megatron looks!

    Based Hasbro. They\'ll market Rumble as red but won\'t take a side on who became Cyclonus? I think that\'s funny.
    All of these look awesome, especially Megs

    Does Megatron have a claw for his beast-tail-arm or is it just kind of a blunt poking stick now?

    There are also some images of Cheetor and Rattrap on the Pulse facebook page, so those can be considered "officially" revealed.

    Yep, Cyclonus is definitely getting in with the rest of the SS86 crowd, no doubt about it. :rock

    So Cyclonus ISN'T a part of 86 Studio Series? That's interesting because Scourge is. I guess they're just kind of spillover rather than a dedicated subline?

    Cyclonus is my main draw from this. Megs looks ok the dino mode is spot on but just not my cup of tea

    Hot diggity damn, I wasn't expecting to see grapeface so soon. He's looking awesome, that beast mode is super cool.

    Cyclonus is looking great as well and glad he's a voyager.

    Seeing Megatron is great.

    If you collected the original Beast Wars figures there's no need to pick these up.

    Original toys are more true to the cartoon sculpt and just as posable.

    Where we need an upgrade is Terrorsaur and Blackarchia never got their screen accurate toy.

    Looks like maybe the photographer's used the wrong joint as the knee? Sure looks like the thighs should be rocked down to be more central over the lower legs, right?

    The character split between Kingdom (Galvatron, Cyclonus, Rodimus) and SS (Hot Rod, Scourge, Kup, Blurr) is very interesting. 2021 is the 35th anniversary of TFTM and the 25th for BW, they were clearly planning to commemorate them both at once. That meant putting some proven G1 characters into the mostly-BW line so retailers wouldn't favor G1 over BW. It also may have had to do with not having so many purple toys in one box style, not so many red toys in the other box style, again to keep the big box store ordering clerks satisfied.

    From a design aesthetic standpoint, I fully expect all the TFTM dudes to "fit together" and have the same budgets for parts / paint, and will be highly disappointed if they don't.

    The most surprising thing is that Cyclonus is not listed on SS 86![​IMG]
