    damned if you do, damned if you don't, but waspinator, rhinox and rattrap seemed to move nicely in the generations line so i'm sure 3p will start to notice, besides g1 is becoming a shallower pool to drink from, we're headed to Japanese obscurity with some, its time for some BW/BM/BWII/BWN, RiD(we got the shark and a couple scourge's already), Unicron Trilogy needs lots of help with a lot of the garbage that was put out under that non-sense. Personally if I was a 3P company I would release every maxed out superprime ver. and some beast wars

    This line of thought leads me going into nearly every MP thread and talking about how the figures look lifeless, boring, and were a waste of everyone's time. Or into Dinobot threads to remind them that, hey, just like they've updated cars, maybe they should acknowledge the twenty something years of actual scientific work done on dinosaurs and make something that is 'a dinosaur' rather than something that looks more at home in an 80s B-movie

    Do you dare want this evil unleashed?

    Did I say people couldn't state their opinions? No, I didn't. I asked why people like him feel the need to bash toylines they don't like and have no interest in, in a topic where other people like those same toys. That's not stating an opinion. That's trolling.

    Being a hardcore primal fan I'd shell out some serious coin for a revamped S2 Primal. I got a kick out of that crazy surfing monkey.

    I still hope one of the legends scale factories will start a Beast Wars line.

    Interesting thought. My first instinct is that most Beast wars stuff is shellforming to one extent or another. Replicating that in such a small Legends scale package could be tough. Legends excels at figures with chunks of bot that move around to alt and vice versa. Not to say it can’t be done but I would think it would be a lot more challenging than G1. Be curious to see what they can do though.

    Darn. That's a good point. Hadn't thought of that.

    Plenty aren't shells. Especially among the transmetals / tramsmetal 2s, I'd see them doable in such a scale.

    If nothing else, I’d be satisfied with an official reissue of Bat Primal and Gator Megs.

    Though, I think Iron Factory could work some magic and give them a more TransTech or Zoids feel.

    And, I’d like to see some TransMetal 2 Dinobots eventually, and some Ravages. TakaTo’s Shadow Panther’s alt mode just doesn’t quite do it for me.

    Though I maybe should’ve gotten Perfect Effect’s Blackarachnia, I’d like to see Blackarachnia packed with Waspinator in a stylized version of their Animated appearances.

    Similarly, I’m interested in a Tigatron and Airazor, but maybe a bit more like their cuter designs from ‘Til All Are One.

    Sign me up for Legends Beast Wars figures too. And I'd also probably favor the Transmetal / TM2 line..

    I just want some KOs of Dinobot and Megs. I can't justify the price of them no matter how I look at them and it sucks cause they are my favorite characters from Beast Wars.
