    I know I've said it before, but - they are just knocking it out of the park with the BW MPs. So glad fans of the show are getting some of the love that's been reserved for G1 for so long. Blackarachnia looks like another stunner.

    Is it just me or did they get rid of the nipple bumps?

    It does look like they tamed her a tad bit. It's already pushing it enough that she has breast. I'm glad that it's nothing obscene. I don't want to see that feature in my toys.

    Since we're on the topic of Beast Wars, I'd thought I'd take the gang out to have some fun before I stored this diorama away in the garage.

    Thanks. That was a huge itch I had to scratch when figuring out which diorama I wanted to make next. I still want to do a gas station so I may do that one over the summer. I need somewhere to park the carbots.

    An updated canyon scene is also onthe list.

    Its almost like I can hear them when I look at the photos.

    Dinobot: Would you get this thing moving already! You are trying my patience.
    Cheetor: Alright, alright. Ease it dino-breath. This thing isn't exactly elegant to operate.

    Optimus: Well might as well get this over with. Who knows. Might even be fun.
    Dinobot: Doubtful.

    Megatron: Yeees. That's it Maximals, feel the pain of my greatest scheme yet. Be forced to ride my over expensive and ultimately disappointing carnival attraction!

    It seems I have owned or still own the Beast Wars Masterpieces at one or another except Megatron. Very tempting...

    I really hope they rerelease Dinobot with the shoulder ratchet fixed. Had to return it back to Amazon JP because mine exploded.

    I think they’re still there, but as some people speculated, the paint makes them way less obvious. Or the final moulded parts are less sharp so details like that are more subtle now.

    This IH is one of the 1st release editions like mine. The chrome wore off to quickly. Aside from that, an awesome feat in toy engineering!

    Maybe just my copy but in BW Megs, one panel that folds(left side) won't lock in. Its the violet peg that locks/align on to the indentation. The right panel part aligns in just fine but the left one
