    Colors are based on the Beast Wars show. Most evident in Beast Mode with Primal's dark blue face, chest, hands and toes & Megatron's stripes in dino mode and blue arms in robot mode

    Really hope they do complete all of these, the MPs are great but not enough space for them as well as all my other MPs, mainline size of the same quality as set one would be a dream.

    Holy cow, what is this amazing store? They look reliable after a quick scout online... so I'm in for that price. The total with shipping is less than what the normal Kingdom figures would cost at retail here in Canada. Can't resist that deal!

    The set is also belatedly up on Pulse, for anyone who prefers to pay a bit more to get them from a familiar source:

    The best secret I wish I'd learned about years ago. They've been my go-to place to order for about five or six months now.

    How are they will getting stuff? Not expecting them to get stuff first or as soon as other do but curious how fast or late they get stuff?

    Highly variable. There's some stuff I've gotten very fast, and some preorders from back in December I'm still waiting on.

    Good, fast, cheap: pick two.

    Now that figure is listed on Hasbro Pulse does that mean this will come in one of the black box sleeves? If so, how do you guarantee you can get one of Hasbro's sleeves?

    It bodes well for Dinobot.

    Yeah I’m thinking I’ll be able to forgive the derpy dino mode if he’s painted up that nicely. And even better if he comes packaged with a premium painted Tarantulas. Bring it on TT!

    Since they repainted Primals eyes, the different style of eyes on Dinobots beast mode will help it a lot.

    While the head sculpt overall is pretty dopey, slit pupils will absolutely help a bit. There have been a few custom painted Dinobots in the Radicons section with the eyes painted up like that as well.

    Yup Dinobot looks great when properly painted in beast mode, idk what Hasbro was thinking with those eyes and the useless bot mode orange thigh paint that is covered in bot mode and makes beast mode more cluttered. Hopefully Takara does Dinobot justice, he might be the only one I pick up for a separate Season 2 display.

    Ooh nice, yeah that would definitely work for a S2 shelf, could change but as of now I'm getting the Primal-Megatron pack but the only and main one I want is Dinobot.

    Honestly, this is Takara, and so I'd expect them to paint Dinobot's thighs silver like the cartoon, beast mode be damned. If anything, I'm guessing his beast mode would be more cluttered.

    (the orange hip joints have to stay, because they share a nylon sprue with Dinobot's shoulderpads, which gotta be orange)
