    How did Blackarachnia end up the tallest Deluxe Predacon in the line? She's supposed to be the shortest Predacon in the cast.

    It also wouldn't be hard for people to not steal factory samples, yet here we are

    totally, there just seems to be an odd contingent on here that is like "anything new is better and automatically invalidates anything else", but also on this thread, I've seen a lot of folks say this guy is "way better" without really backing it up...

    and he certainly seems to me is better in some respects, but as you said, he seems more of a side grade in that he looks fairly clearly worse in other ways.
    (there's also some personal aesthetics involved, I see that this one is probably more animation accurate, but there's some details, like the alt mode eyes and robot head, that I just think look better how they were executed on the T30)

    but this is more of a win/win ~ either looks pretty good and it comes down to personal preference and/or what you can afford (is T30 Waspy really that expensive now??).

    (as opposed to the Kingdom Galvatron that I think totally sucks, but that one's more of a lose/lose in that every version has some level of suck, even though for me I think the TR ever so slightly wins out due to the body proportions and less janky cannon mode)

    Wish they would of done a different character (hello Polar Claw) - my T30 Waspinator is just fine.

    Totally agree. Its becoming annoying now. Let alone the people seemingly acting oblivious. Had someone say on Instagram its clearly an early product sample he got and always gets he would never steal........

    This guy looks like he’d be at a dollar store....

    Keep in mind, I think pretty much all of the wfc stuff has looked good so far.

    It looks fine I guess if you want a Kingdom Waspinator but I think I'd get the T30 version over this one.

    My first impressions: the Generations one is more stylish and has an overall better-looking robot mode, the Kingdom one is a better, more fun toy with a better-looking wasp mode and a slightly more show accurate robot mode and deco; both are worthy versions of Waspinator. I'll probably get this even though I already have the other one
