"We've updated Armada Starscream, Jhiaxus, Metroplex, Blitzwing and Sandstorm from T30 into Legacy. Now who do we have left to update..."

 

Yo Chefatron, is that you?

 

You leave Mr. Beastwars alone, he alone stood guard outside Hasbro shouting "MUNKY NOT TRUKK" for years until they finally listened to him. Also he's not wrong on a few points, like Cheetor and Rattrap.

 

Cheetor and Rattrap I think still came out fine. Rattrap should/could have been taller but I kinda like the height he is. I like Cheetor a little more than most.

Dinobot I like but I would be down for a redo.

 

Saw blades to go in Hot Shot's feet for his Powerlinx vehicle attack mode plus a proper axelzooka missile maybe with a launch plume/explosion effect part with Jolt, missiles and blade swoosh effects with Swindle would be my guess on potential padding extras for them as single releases at Core.

 

Cheetor and Rattrap are OKAY but they definitely don't look right. Rhinox would have fared better if they hadn't messed with his headsculpt.

 

His head is fine?

 

It’s a little squished or something but it’s not that terrible I feel.

 

@Jtprime17 and anyone else who knows things and stuffs, have you heard anything about this? whats the legitimatcy of it?

 

I hope that's not true because, as the self-proclaimed #1 Monstructor fan, I'm going to say it's disappointing that it won't have pretender shells.

 

dinoking was basically already confirmed by a hasbro rep i believe, so i won't be surprise by that, but monstructor?

 

I mean, same, but we've known this is how they're handling pretenders since Iguanus.

 

As much as I dislike when they remove gimmicks( minerva) I prefer this style for Pretenders. I do hope they make a shell style for the people who want them but I personally still just want the merged bots and shell designs.

 

Nah bruv... He was butchered...

 

Rhinox's head was off but it's not enough to ruin the rest of the figure.

The rest of the figure does that on it's own.

 

I've been saying Monstructor wouldn't surprise me. I've never heard of that podcast and they don't credit a source in those screenprints, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

 

I don’t have him but I was gonna say yeah, the headsculpt from what I’ve heard and seen of the figure is the least of its problems.

 

If I recall from what I saw this morning the source is 4chan. As if I know anything about monstructor, I don’t.

 

He is in the far back corner of my Beast Wars display for a reason

 

Ew. Monstructor should never be a Volcanicus repaint. Never. It works for Dinoking because it has the shell alt-modes, but Monstructor is not on the same part of that bridge.

On a somewhat more objective note, the rumour also somewhat contradicts itself by saying the alt-modes are coloured like the shells but combined mode is coloured half-and-half. The Dinoforce have brown shells for the arm bots and green shells for the leg bots. Unless that’s what they mean by half-and-half, but seeing as the only colour inaccuracy in combined mode they point out is the triceratops head, I’m uncertain.

Either way, hoping this is fake. I’d far prefer a Monstructor fully based on the inner robots that sizes up to regular combiners (which would also allow for a G1 accurate Dinoking repaint).
