This picture reminds me of some of the weird Pretender Shells. Probably would fit right in with Bugly and Skullgrin.

 

Wait a second, so Rhinox chest is not entirely fake? Sounds like the inverse of Dinobot, with the actual lower jaw splitting in half and only the middle part is filled with a fake piece

 

The chestplate that's meant to look like his lower jaw is a faux part.

During transformation it folds in half and then slides inside and stores away inside a cavity inside his chest.

The Rhino head retains both jaw parts.
The mouth on the rhino can still open/close.

 

Sounds like I'm keeping the T30 version, likely.

Can you tell us if there is a big height difference between the two figures, or are they the same?

 

Did anyone ask if Tigatron has either the gut gun or tail-gun.

 

Sorry I don't have the figure in hand - I'm just basing this off box and instruction art drafts I've seen.

I've bought a T30 version preemptively just in case the new one doesn't measure up.
(Pun intended)

Edit:
Tigatron has his gut gun.

 

Okay, not a problem. Thanks for sharing what you can!

 

Yeah, absolutely, anyone worrying about the size of the Rodimus robot mode shouldn't be, assuming Galvatron is around the same height if not a little taller than Cyclonus,
I assume that Rodimus will be the same height as Galvatron, thus by WFC size/price rules a Doubledealer-ish "leader" height. The SS86 Hot Rod is pretty much perfect scale
with all the other figures released, and the HasTak designers will 100% be trying to recreate that scene where Rodimus throws Galvatron
outside of Unicron's eye, so I would say that whenever Galvatron finally gets revealed, Rodimus will be that proportional height.

 

As has been stated many, many, many, many times – including the first post of this thread – he's a Voyager class figure.

 

Not just that, but it's also been stated by leakers that he is much bulkier and comes with the gut gun. It literally cannot be a straight repaint of Cheetor, he's a new mold that probably shares some of the engineering

 

They will look so very different from one another from what I've heard. Not at all like in the cartoon.. but that's entirely on Cheetor. As shown with Dinobot and Primal, there's enough budget in voyager scale to present us with accurate robot modes. Cheetor will look like an entirely different design next to Tigatron  

 

Which doesn't bother me one bit   I'm sure they will still have their similarities, like the waist plate, front legs on the shoulders/back and one leaker said that the rear legs on Tigatron transform similar to Cheetor, but compress into the leg better.

 

Man, imma start beheading people if Hastak still won't bother to do the waist and knee rotation part of the cat's transformation scheme. I understand why they went that route with Cheetor, but if they go Sunstreaker lazy on the big cat, oh boy!

 

Galvatron isn't as tall as Cyclonus and I don't see them making Rodimus and Galvatron taller than Optimus and Megatron.

 

Great to hear, thanks! Is it integrated with his beast mode similar to Cheetor's tail or is it more like Blackarachnia and Rattrap where it's an accessory he can lug around in beast mode but not really concealed anywhere?

 

When can we expect a leak of the art/instructions/pictures?

 

Unsure at the moment, only seen engineering prototype so not able to comment on whether it integrates internally.

 

@Apollux when can we expect a reveal?

 

Hasbro has scheduled an unofficial leak next week. It will be a smuggled cell phone pic that looks like it was taken on a 2002 candy bar phone.

 

ahhh culture
