Yes that’s how they are justifying having a mix of characters from different eras/series within the same retail line. It works for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Not sure if u found any more info on this or not I’m still combing through this thread.. but I know there will be another rampbot in the 2nd wave of Netflix WFC figures that are retailing at Walmart’s.. its a yellow version included with OP I believe..

 

Not even more micromasters for Kingdom I'm afraid. We'll get the new Core class and Fossilizers instead.

 

No more $5 price range stuff since they sold pretty badly (don't start an argument but I/ someone bought 50 slitherfangs, I was told the sales numbers were abysmal).

Cyclonus is one big boy (I think he's the largest voyager in Kingdom, don't shoot me if I'm wrong), but I'm very excited fo Primal and Megatron. The only one I'm skipping for S1 beastformers is Cheetor.

 

Yes, it was a reference to Beast Wars.

 

Have you seen Cyclonus compared to Galvatron? If I remember right, Cyclonus was taller than Galvatron in the series, does that carry over to the toys? I imagine the wings/railgun carried a lot of Galvatron's mass so he wouldnt be as tall as BW Megs

 

I haven't seen or heard about Galvatron aside from Appolux

 

Actually I think it is more than that.

We have three time lines meeting: The Great War (G1 Optimus, Megatron), Post Unicorn (Galvatron), and Post Decepticon Defeat (Beast Wars)

And me personally I'd love them to make the fossilizers a fourth time line... maybe the abandoned protoforms?

 

@Apollux

Do the core class Fossilizers form weapons and armor like the larger guys? Didn't look like it in Vertrebreak's promo images.

Just wondering what's up there.

Edit:. Other question. Do you know if Dinobot is being packaged as a Maximal or Predacon. Just curious as he's standing with Scorponok and Waspinator in Blackarachnia's packaging art.

Thanks

 

Vertebreak doesn't split up.

 

Didn't they say before that the core class (the new legends) would be the ones to best wear the armor? I'm guessing Vertebrake (love the pun) was designed more to wear the armor, rather than become it?

 

I've only got the same images for the core class Fossilizers break that have been released sorry.

Checked Dinobot's packaging it has a Predacon symbol, but I couldn't easily see one on the figure renders. Maybe they are leaving it open?

 

Maybe they're doing what they did in S1 of BW and made Dinobot a Predacon at the start then he changeds sides.

 

Makes sense. Even in the show he didn't sport a faction logo. Only his activation code changed when he switched sides. I guess he hasn't switched sides yet when kingdom starts.

Thanks

 

The space Bridge could have a plot point too.

 

Sweet... Didn't know this thread existed yet.

Finally a place to Gush about how amazing/hench Optimus Primal looks.

There seems to be an intentional butterfly joint for beast mode. There is hand articulation on a voyager! All the articulation plus both modes look great and that Gorilla face is perfectly grumpy!
I haven't been this excited about a Beast Wars character... Ever tbh. If this is anything to go off of. Dinobot is going to be pretty baller as well. I need Primal in my monkey mitts ASAP!

Even the robot mode has just enough modern added detail to make him really pop, and the fur looks great.

Everything about him makes me wanna just say... That's Just Prime.





Re-added images for easy viewing.

 

I'm so excited for this line. It's everything I ever wanted since I was a kid. In fact it's even better because as a kid, I couldn't get them all so I can only remember having Cheetor, Transmetal Rattrap, and Silverbolt from this era of Transformers. I actually still have Cheetor and hope Silverbolt is still around somewhere.

I started re-watching Beast Wars after all the leaks and it's getting me even more hyped up.

I'm glad to get great looking versions of Optimus Primal, Megatron, Rattrap, Black Arachnia, and hopefully the ones down the line (especially Dinobot and Rhinox) look just as good.

The only thing I'm slightly disappointed in is Cheetor. He was my favorite character (which is why I still have and play with his figure). I like how poseable he is in beast mode, but I just can't get over the clunky leg transformation, the colors (particularly the shade of blue), and the lack of any of his guns. Hopefully I will like him better in hand and maybe will try to paint him up more to my liking

 

Now that I have the pre - orders on Kingdom stuff I am just patiently waiting for them to be released

 

Screenshots of cyclonus from the stream.

Jet mode is perfect. So sleek and clean.
