I wasn't too keen on takaras version of beast wars characters in T30, as I felt the metalic colours were a bit out of place

But for this, it's a shame takaras don't have different paint apps anymore, they could make that megatron shine beautifully, same with cheetor and cyclonus, they are just too pale

But again, that's just me, I just personally prefer deeper and darker colours

 

Good good, nothing to really gripe over.  Meg\'s deeper magenta works.  It\'s off, but it IS a purple and it DOES differ from his dino skin.
I like the pack in cards and foil effect sticker (is that how this works?), I\'m more into it than the Map gimmick.
I hope all the \"reveals\" in the box art pans out.  Galvy (ports or no ports, SS86 is still just here to squeeze more in at once), Scorponok, Tigatron, Rhinox, Dinobot, and Bumblebee, good times.
The decisions around Airazor will be interesting since the bird is shown to be small but the bot is bigger than rattrap.
I don\'t know if they\'re going to go weird with all the BW options like transmetals or fuzors (probably not) but I wouldn\'t mind if they pressed forward.

 

Primal looks great. I Like how we see the Ark on top of the hill in the art work.

 

I'm hyped for Kingdom. G1 and Beasts alike. Not sure how well it will do in the fiction, but as long as it gets me great toys of characters I like, I''ll be happy. The only thing I'm not interested in is the Fossilizers. They're kind of cool toys on their own, but as part of my TF collection I'm just not feeling it. Other than that though, I'm all in on what I've seen so. I've even warmed to core Optimus. I like the idea of having an Optimus Jr.  

 

I am surprised at how much better Cyclonus' face looks in hand.

 

Out of 9 new figures in this wave. I'm still only interested in 2. Can't wait for Blackarachnia and Cyclonus. Ironically a Studio Series wave will significantly fill the rest of gap for my traditional G1 cravings.

 

I am amazed that Cyclonus has Lightpiping!   He\'s a definite buy.

 

So the first mod then for megs is make the tail arm detachable gotcha, hopefully its on a screw and not a pin.

 

The two voyagers look fantastic. I'm not a big BW fan/collector but that Primal is bought on sight. I love the fur detailing they gave to him. I think it works better than the smooth animation look that the MP figure went with.
Perhaps @Tony_Bacala can speak to it more, but Cyclonus looks like they kept a lot of the engineering from the old generations figure. His arms and collapsing wings look straight out of the '08 version and it appears that they kept the trick of collapsing the jet nosecone into the chest as well. Echoing some of the sentiment here as well, his face sculpt doesn't look quite as naff as it appeared in the original promotional shots. That is an added plus too.

 

That would be nice, I would also love for someone to do a idw upgrade kit/head for Cyclonus.

 

I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like that won't even be an option. All of the reddish-purple plastic on the arm, fist, and tail tip appear to be one solid plastic piece.  

 

Holy crap, pretty much everyone looks fantastic, or at the very least great. It's been pretty interesting seeing people's reaction to the previous leaks of Cyclonus with people either thinking he looks wonderful or that he's the ugliest thing since RoTF Skids with barely anything in between. I for one think he looks incredible, that face, that clean back, that slim jet undercarriage! If I really had to choose I'd say my favorite five figures out of these reveals would be Primal, Megs, Cyclonus, Blackarachnia and Warpath, but there's barely anybody I don't wanna buy. Looks like between Kingdom and SS86 I really need to start saving up some extra funny money.

 

I was going to comment that Cyclonus' legs felt a bit too short, but after seeing the revised pictures they look perfect. These figures are really cool, can't wait for them to be available in my country.

 

How did they get the toys boxed? Did Hasbro send  them out for review? That\'d be nice.
Primal is really short. I don\'t remember him being this much shorter than Megatron...  Cyclonus is cool. Definitely the best version so far.

 

Tony bacala can you post the individual galleries area please sorry if you found it annoying

 

I think all of the figures look great, but it feels like we're being set up for superior versions down the road. Most of the Beast Wars figures could easily be redone with more cartoon accurate colouration or extra paint.

Cyclonus could be done with more toy accurate colours (similarly to Grimlock in Studio Series).

It sort of feels like the 2008 Universe line again except we know that Takara won't be doing their own versions.

 

Nice!

 

thanks a lot tony by your previous experiences do you think that the rubbery material would last ?? or with the years it would desintegrate or become sticky, i like it but i dont want to buy it and 1 year later they reissue it with a better material that last longer

 

Has anyone tried to decode the text, on the cards ?
