    Yep, he was a gem for the time. If you feel like painting the Armada Predacon doesn't have the GPS issues and has the benefit of a few minicon ports added to him

    Man, I wish this guy was a litte bigger. It\'s pretty much perfect otherwise. Looks great. If I can snag him for 30 or so I\'ll gladly pick him up. The original toy is my all time favorite.

    hope this is successful enough to warrant making more BW legends

    That’s how they usually do it until they get a price confirmation from the manufacturer.

    Yeah I need a price before I will commit. It shouldn't be more than $50 I would think

    Shh! We weren't supposed to tell anyone about that! Geez.

    I'll have to call the fixer, now.

    I just finished a post lamenting the metallic finish of X-TB's Seaspray, but with this figure I'm feeling the exact opposite!! He looks like a great figure, but the deco is a little too flat (more of a satin finish) compared to the full-on chrome bling reflective surfaces the Beast Wars show did so well.

    Chances of a shiny chromed-up metallic version?

    Given that's what everyone wants and they're releasing a less desirable version first?
    I'd say chances are very high.

    I prefer an unchromed version, it seems the vac metalized painting still isn’t perfected. I don’t want to deal with flaking like the original Transmetals.

    Soooo... not everyone :D

    Well in theory. If you could have the vac metal without flaking :)

    This is an AWESOME figure! I'll be buying at least two of them. However, I see myself attempting to replace those tiny Dino arms with articulated ones... Somehow... Probably using a 3D Printer... Hmmm...

    Not everyone. I am so happy that the Beast Wars Masterpieces do not seek to replicate the gaudy, ugly colored chrome on the original toys. I don't want that stuff on any of my BW toys.
