    Cheers. But I meant which toy specifically. Doesn’t look like the original, Hasbro, mini gunpla, SOC or Legacy one.

    As a big fan of both franchises, I really want this, but collabs dont regularly show up in my country, plus I'm sure if it did the distributor would put a really big price increase on top of the MSRP.
    Still I think both figures are really cool

    I kind of prefer to stay from stickers myself, especially when it comes to Blue. Also trying to put stickers on 'flesh' may not turn out too well, especially with the kind of stickers Hasbro seems to use.
    And speaking of Blue I'd like them to remold her robot body to look more female. I think Hasbro kind of cheated with Tyrannacon. She's female because they say she's female on the box . But other than her head(s) and deco, she's pretty much identical to BW Megatron and T Wrecks. In fact she looks like what Beast Wars Grimlock should have been (imo).

    Why? The money won’t come out until it’s about to ship. Amazon has never taken immediate payment that I know of in the 20+ years I’ve been buying from them.

    It came back briefly but it gone again. Hasbro Pulse will have them in November.

    Agreed, Hasbro's stickers don't work to well on a flat surface, no way on a textured "skin" surface. Not very strong glue, no where near as aggressive as ToyHax stickers, not matter the surface you get one shot to put them on right, they ain't coming off unless you tear them off.

    I also agree about the torso and hips, a little remolding would go a long way. I don't know where to apply anymore paint to make it more different than Megs at this moment. I was thinking silver paint, but that'll make it closer to Megs. Maybe gold or yellow, but where? Megs has most of those details already picked out in paint, that any variation of color in the same places just makes it look more like Megs.

    I knocked out a couple of (rough) color layout ideas. I think they look pretty good -- I noticed there's a green stripe on the head that isn't reflected anywhere else on the deco and thought that should be expanded on.

    Nice job! I think I like #1 the best.

    Perhaps painting the “teeth” on his collar to match his dino teeth could also look cool. And maybe a splash of color to his thighs as well.

    I deliberately stayed away from the "teeth" because those are the single feature that most screams "Beast Wars Megatron" to me.

    Something like this?

    I dunno, not trying to sound like a Hasbro shill, but I actually like the Tyrannocon Rex coloring. I like the way that the Dino skin is fully painted/gradient-ed and the inner bot is simple, kind of makes the Dino mode seem more like its main form.

    I think Rexy Bot looks fine as she is - sure her head is a little peculiar - but not intrinsically bad - just not very feminine, The only real issue I have with her are any issues left over from the original Megatron design like the ugly ill-fitting neck flaps, lack of a moving ankle spur, and an absense of weapons or a blast effect. But she is nicely decorated as a Dinosaur, I can't tell if she has a tat or not mind.

    To be honest I'm mostly buying her for LOL's so I can pretend she's married to Megatron or T-wrecks & she bullies them... Now there is an idea I can give her a pubg frying pan keychain as a weapon !

    That is why it's called "Speculation"

    I just look at it this way - it obviously looks enough like Mindwipe for the leakers to recongnise it as such immediately.
    As I think the entire idea sounds more than a little silly in the 1st place even if it is extensively remoulded - I am likely to still think it's silly - and like how Maverick is "alright" but underdecorated, this might be "alright" but not something I want to pay a premium for like Maverick or X-panse - rather than something I insta buy like a did Gigawatt. I'm not suggesting Colab toys are Star Wars Transformers levels of messy - but at the same time they are not Hasbro's best work either - they charge a lot for them and some of them they paint half decently, & I guess they'd be even more expensive if Takara was doing them... but I consider them more a cute novelty than a premium product (even if Hasbro may think of them that way)

    Neither. The color scheme especially was clearly inspired by this.

    my hope is that this jeep will use better plastic than the SS86 Jazz mold they started with.

    The hat and shades seem to be Grant, but the gun and face seem to be Muldoon. My guess is that they took inspiration from both.

    They didn't start with the SS86 Jazz mold, judging by images they don't share any parts. Repeating the same misinformation over and over doesn't make it true.
