    Aah, ok. While I agree that the size needs to be fixed, I don't see an issue with the shoulders. Am I missing something??

    Got Airazor and T-Wrecks today! Decided to bust out my my Beast Era Dinobots (though some are the Walmart versions). Looking forward to adding Kingdom Grimlock to the crew (using Walmart Grimlock and Swoop/Terranotron as pre Transmetal versions of Rapticon and Terranotron)

    I feel like we don't need an OpOp Primal right now. We've had a few versions, and sure, he sells, but I could get more excited for other Transmetal's a lot more that we don't have masterpiece versions of.

    I know someone mentioned it before but I'd love to see an updated version of Tripredacus and whatever the other combiner's name was (It's been a long day).

    Did you find T-wrecks in stores, or online?

    pre-orderd this on Baba, probably canceling if thins is true... which it seems to be. the rest of the BWM line is mp scale while their BW line seems more in line with Legends. The size and line designation really don't jive. Annoying AF!

    Wanted Savage Noble for a while and finally pulled the trigger.

    Was debating between the BM and the BWR versions, and ultimately I liked the BM deco better (didn’t hurt that it was $100 cheaper). He has all the weaknesses and compromises you would expect from a 20-year old toy, plus the concept was overly ambitious from the start. But he looks so awesome in both modes, especially his reasonably accurate dragon mode. A wonderfully unique experiment in transformers history.

    The Beast Machines designs (especially Season 2 Battle for the Spark) were so ambitious. They just started to get good/great with the toys right before it ended and went to RID. Ahh the memories. Great Picture by the way.

    I was just palying with the original Beast Machines deluxe Primal that I have. He's such a terrible represntation of Primal, whether it be Beast Wars or even Beast Machines, he really has no likeness to the character.

    But as an individual toy? It's actually pretty neat. I like the gorilla mode. It has a really interesting look to it that I think works. It just doesn't match the show model at all.

    His bot head is actually fairly on model to the show, just really oddly colored, least I've always thought so

    I think the same is true for deluxe Jetstorm. Not a great likeness to the show, but really fun toy. I got just about every color they put out and used them as neo seekers.

    Question: How much were deluxes at retail (Walmart, Target) when the Beast Wars line was active? I can’t remember if it was $10 or $15. I think $10.
