    Whether or not he shows up in the show is one thing, it's the fact that he's just RID prime with random parts of beast huntesr prime thrown on. After getting 2 original molds, you'd figure they'd at least remold those. At this point, it's 1 step forward, 2 steps back. So yeah, I see it as filler since it looks like 'hey, we need another voyager for the wave, let's throw crap on RID prime and make it another magnus'.

    Let's try putting this another way ... As an entirely separate mold Magnus will never appear on the show. As a retool of Optimus, who's getting a new CGI model, Magnus is probably going to be on the show. That is not filler.

    Hmm. Looks like there are clips on top of Ultra Magnus' shoulders and the tops of his shoulders are hinged so you cave the missles clipped to the side G1 style. Cool!


    I like him and Shockwave, most of the other Beast Hunters figures are disappointing save for the Ultimates and a few others.

    My head just exploded. If only the paint jobs were better and Dreadwing didn't look like a bird in jet mode, WTF?!

    I would say voyager Megatron to match Optimus's bigger, badder, more WFC/FOC self and have Insecticons as deluxe for cheaper troop building, if not they might clog the shelfs as voyagers.

    Agreed. I think the dragons look awesome, but most of the robot modes range from lackluster to dreadful. Of course, this might change once I see reviews of some of them...but for now I have Wheeljack, and plan to pick up Deluxe Bumblebee, Voyager Optimus, Shockwave (Voyager and Cyberverse Commander), Deluxe Ripclaw, Deluxe Smokescreen, Cyberverse Abominus, and maybe some version of Predaking...nothing else really appeals all that much at first glance...but that could change, especially if I happen to buy some of those I want during a B2G1 sale or something...

    The dragons are definitely bought. All the regular characters with added spikes are still easy passes. The TMII Dinobot homage in Ratchet is a nice nod though.

    Ratchet looks like he got microwaved in a radioactive port-a-loo.

    Not a good look.

    I like Deluxe Skystalker. I think his robot mode is one of the best conceived designs of the entire line. Not just a bunch of spikes stuck on a robot body.

    Poor Ratchet...looks like he collided with a Kryptonite ice cream cone.

    Skystalker...he has DOTM's Laserbeak's rotors! Spare parts?

    Gotta have that Ultimate Prime.

    :D
