    My only complaints with how Dinobot looks are the missing front teeth on the raptor and the weird hands on that mode. Everything else looks phenomenal. I might paint the sword silver as well.

    This. Press F in the chat for what the Takaratomy version would look like without Hasbro's insidious brand "unification" iron grip and hindrance. Such undermining tactics....

    Something about this feels kinda cheap it’s either the fact they didn’t bother with the tail or how the figure looks under painted but i’m a sucker for beast wars figures so I’ll probably get him anyways.

    :rolleyes: 

    Fully expected of you, mind. But still :rolleyes: 

    There was no strong-arming involved. Through "brand unification", Takara-Tomy dropped their half-measure efforts of trying to make mainline toys premium, and put more effort into simply making more premium figures. It's not like TakaraTomy didn't gain anything out of the agreement either. They stopped having to wait ~6 months to deliver their version of a product, curbing reverse importation. Do you even understand what it means to be brand partners? One side doesn't have the ability to unilaterally make decisions.

    Hasbro hasn't stopped them at any point of the way, when they wanted to get anything done on their own. Legendary Optimus Prime? Seacons? Star Convoy? Super Megatron? The entire Masterpiece line?


    If I'm gonna blame anybody on this, it's gonna be the artists at Mainframe, for not making the damned show model toy accurate, and taking its rather simple deco and covering it in so many extra trim elements that any toy would need to be double its normal budget to accommodate them all. (Of course I'm being facetious here. HasTak does what makes sense for the toy aisle. Mainframe did what made sense for TV).

    Better this than what's going on with the Netflix series ;) 

    I love the way everything happened. Up until today the original BW toys are out of scale with one another but great toys all things considered and the cartoon made them look cool and everyone itching for more accurate toys. As engineering improvements would have it we now get them. Just happy for every Beast Wars fan who lived long enough to see 2021 :)

    Well, that tail doesn't not look like a dog dick. Interesting choice.

    And because they were so proud of their work, they even "designed" pants that didn't work properly :D .

    I just think the leg could use at least 1 big gold area on the front leg bone and some blue paint on the circle jount area , no need for all gold stripe , it would make the figure less barebone. Ah well. Still gorgeous tho

    ???

    He has both his sword and his spinning blade (but without spinner this time).

    yeah but can you still shove the sword into the spinner so the figure can look like his show counterpart?

    Ah, well he must be able to, since the sword still stores there for beast mode.

    1. You might die before the MP cast is complete and only have to make it one or two more years for the retail lineup. By the end of 2022 only Inferno might still be missing. I bet they do Terrorsaur at the end of 2022. Tarantulas is already rumoured
    2. The beast mode might look better to you. I hate the MP beast mode and absolutely love the Kingdom one
