    Can see my thoughts on rubber below:

    Dino tail not removable.

    Will be doing some more shots over weekend and after that too, will get some fight scenes then. Don't have a universe dinobot, but I think I have the others somewhere.

    Cyclonus looks like one of the best mainline figures in a long time.

    That sounds more like it is the same rubber as Skullcruncher's cockpit flap/back area, and less like CW Megatron's tank treads that become sticky over time, which is good.

    The skull head/mace is so cool, to bad it seems someone has used it as a butt plug.

    I believe Phamduc likened it to old dinosaur toys rather than the usual rubber plastic of a TF. Can you comment on that @Tony_Bacala

    Kind of meh on Cyclonus, looks to stocky. At first I thought it was him missing his goatee which streamlines his face, but seeing him in these photos hes definitely not long and lithe like the cartoon,

    The hinge for cyclonus knee sits way down in the leg in the straight leg shots, but not in the bent knee shots. Is this a function of articulation or a slight mistransformation? Hoping the latter.

    Not a BW fan, bit alt mode Primal and BW Megs look amazing side by side!

    I will revisit later and verify, but I believe that's the way it's intended to work.

    Cyclonus' wings aren't folded even though they clearly have joints. Hopefully that means his legs also have a little more transforming to go. Like others have said, we should be able to see more of that knee joint, which means a little more height.

    It's not a flexible plastic / rubber like any I've experienced on any TF, but I don't have a full exposure to the last 10+ years of generations. I can't say it's exact to any old toy, but it's different for sure.

    Cyclonus is the only one I really care about (organic beast modes were never my cup of tea) but DAMN he looks good, I can't wait. A little stocky but straightening his knees out should help, and I just love how sleek his vehicle mode is.
    There are a couple pictures where his wings are transformed properly. He looks much better that way IMO.

    Apart from the Fossilizers I legitimately DO NOT like any of these figures. Prime, Warpath, and Cyclonus are too small, and season one was my least favorite Beast Wars season.

    Sorry. Pass on all of them (Except for the Fossilizers). I’ll rather track down PerfectEffect Optimal Optimus, TM2 Megatron, and Blackarachnia, Generations Warpath, BotCon 2002 Cyclonus, Armada Cheetor, and keep my Cybertron Leader “Galaxy Force” Optimus Prime.

    Everything looks pretty good. Primal seems small, but oh well. Cyclonus looks great, and it's an interesting way to give his shoulders a full range of articulation while keeping the mold accurate.

    Beautiful shots @Tony_Bacala. Does Primal has some rubber parts like Megatron?

    OK, RE: Cyclonus. I was passing out reading these on phone and had to get up to check.

    So, looks like my initial shots do have the thighs a bit too down in the leg. From the front, that looked right to me, and then I didn't process the stockyness or side angles since I was speed shooting.

    Here are some quick, unedited shots showing the range and how it can work. The first one is how I had it. Changing that will give you more height, but it kinda floats there. It is a firm joint tho so that's good.

    I will reshoot cyclonus and update with the proper wings (which I caught at end of his shoot) and this leg change.
