    Wish Tarantulas, Terrorsaur and Inferno were getting new toys with the Kingdom line.

    Only figures I'm looking for out of Kingdom (other than Cyclonus (which I already have) and Possibly scourge) are Rodimus and one or both Galvatrons.

    I don't know how much Fan Demanding it will take for Hasbro to do it. Hopefully now too much.

    No kidding! I really want these to happen! Plus to get more accurate designs is always a plus. Tarantulas they could cop out and re-release the 10th Anniversary and for Rhinox the T30 design. Give new toolings to Inferno and Terrorsaur!

    I still don't get the choice to do Waspinator, but not Tarantulas. Most BW fans still have the T30 one, all that needs improving is QC and altmode, so why didn't they do Tarantulas first? He was a more notable character.

    I don't own T30 Waspinator so I'll definitely be getting him, but with longtime BW fans as the target audience it just seems strange to redo him over other characters who haven't gotten figures in 10+ years.

    Not every BW fan was collecting in 2013, so a figure that is nearly 10 years old shouldn't have any bearing on figures getting released currently

    fair enough, but tarantulas is still a more important character.

    Important is subjective really. Most of Tarantulas' importance comes from stuff we never actually see him do, and Waspinator is one of 3 characters that was introduced in the first episode of Beast Wars that survives through to the end of the last episode of Beast Machines.

    Waspinator was also spared the axe in season 2 due to his popularity. He was originally supposed to die instead of Terrorsaur. He was brought back for Animated and was the second character voted into the Hall of Fame by fans.

    Tarantulas may have had a more important role in the show. But Waspinator is arguably the more popular character of the two. So I can see why he was picked over Tarantulas. Especially when the more popular of the two spiders is in the line up already.

    Waspinator is immensely more popular. Waspinator is even in the hall of fame.

    i really wasn't aware of his popularity, both when the show was airing and now. never really thought he had that much of a presence. completely forgot about his animated appearance though.

    The truth is they shouldn't have had to pick one over the other in the first place. Just put them all in Kingdom. Problem solved.

    I think the fact that we aren't getting the last three Preds in Kingdom owes a lot to it's "last minute" changes to be BW-focused over more G1/86 characters.

    I'd be genuinely shocked if Terrorsaur and Inferno don't show up in the next line.

    It would be great to one day get a behind the scenes account of what went on in the development of Kingdom. What started where, when did things change, what prompted it, etc.

    Maybe a future Toy Fair, with John promoting Power Rangers, he might be drawn on the subject if he's in a mood for reminiscing.
