    4chan.org/toy - there are no rules in 4chan land. Just check your human decency at the door and for the love of all that's holy, DON'T STRAY from /toy unless you're over 18 and in the privacy of your own home...

    Show-accurate Beast Machines toys? Awesome! The original "Tank Drone" figure was already quite good, but it'll be nice to have something closer to Tankor's on-screen size compared to other characters.

    It won't be that much closer, sadly. Proper scale would be if he was a BM Ultra-class figure.

    Saw the figures!

    Oh God, the Universe just got a little better today! Never in a million years did I think my favourite Transformer would ever get another toy, but here he is! I couldn't have hoped for a more show accurate Tankor (well perhaps aside from the size, but TFs have so many scale inconsistencies that it doesn't matter).! He even looks pretty poseable, I do wonder though if his waist has a joint? Anyways, I'm SUPER excited for him and will be buying quite a lot of him when he comes out (Got to get all the Tankor merch I can get). This will be my new Holy Grail. :)  I wonder how Takara will paint him up? I'm guessing the blue will be darker and more metallic.

    Rattrap, well I'm pretty darn happy about him too! That's a great redesign of his season 1 version! I love the bot mode, although something about the teeth in rat mode seem inaccurate to rats for some reason... Good thing he'll be in robot mode most of the time. :)  Other than the teeth, that beast mode seems pretty tight. :) 

    As for Crosscut, I have no particular connection to the character, but that head mold and silver colouring just look awesome on that mold, so I'll definitely be picking him up along with the rest of the wave. :D

    I'm fine with a deluxe as long as it is well articulated. He kind of stand alone at this point anyone because he is the only BM only character to be released.

    Yeah, Ultra-class would probably be the best size for Tankor. With his Generations toy being a Deluxe, getting him will be a tricky decision for me.

    There was a listing for a deluxe Hardhead last year that was going to be released as part of Takara's United line but is was canceled. I would assume that the HTS listing for Hardhead is the same figure. That figure was going to be a retool of Warpath.

    You know, I've got to agree with people on the Botcon thing. I mean before I get onto that topic, Rattrap, yay... Okay now that's done.

    I hate to keep beating this horse that's been dead for 3 months, but seriously FunPub, unless you're securing MORE hotel blocks, which is doubtful considering you do as little as possible for the fans, why not just come out and confirm the location. The only reason I haven't booked a flight and hotel (which I'm reluctant in even wanting to) is because I'm waiting on that official confirmation. And even so, I'd have to leave Saturday night, because there's no available rooms for a Sunday check-out.
    And why wait until registration goes live to announce and confirm? That would be $2,000+ in credit card charges, and the interest paying that off over a 4 month period would rape me. FunPub really needs to get off their secrecy boner, and start being straight-up with their customers.

    I was never one that thought "size = better" so I'm okay with Tankor's scale as a deluxe. The cannon looks like trash. Ugh. That being said though...I'm skipping these three figures. I don't need a silver Skids. I thought the mold is merely okay, and not good enough for me to get a second of. Rattrap is a Beast era figure which I have absolutely zero interest in...and I prefer the non-accurate BM Tankor over the screen accurate one.

    Checked mine at the door and sauntered out after I re-claimed them, Straxus will look great with a few of those Tankors.

    Fantastic.
