None of those are Scorponok, though. So our leaker either missed something or his info is outdated.

 

Wishful thinking: Scorponok is in a voyager price point and that Cybershark we were told about is the Transmetal 2 version and not the original Deluxe.
AND its got Sky-Byte's paint apps.

 

Sweet, I really want this. I love this toy but the cyberbee on mine has always been broken. It'd bee great to have one that actually works.


I think I'm going to need to set up two separate BW S1 displays, one with retro molds and one with CHUG molds. Up until now I've been swapping out old molds with CHUG molds. But once I have updates for every S1 character, I may as well just have two separate displays.

 

Probably the worst thing I have read today.

 

So this is a interesting case where the figure isn’t on my order sheets or was a “last minute” 2021 thing. What’s interesting though is, this thing isn’t in Walmart’s system yet.

Now did I hear about this, yes In fact I actually did, plus a couple other things. I haven’t seen the listings though, hence why I haven’t posted them.

As for the other things, it’s not my glory to share, but maybe @wreckgar39 will claim it.  

@PrimeVsPrime do you have the product number stamp on the figure?

Edit: yes I’ll even admit I don’t know everything and I’ll eat crow.

 

Different size to anything done already - it's a Mega. New size for the BW Reissue range or will it, like Rattrap and we presume Terrorsaur, get bumped up a class (in Scorponok's case to Leader?)

 

I haven’t seen the listing so I couldn’t tell you what the price is. As for Terrorsaur he’s got $22 price tag.

 

Isn't there a code? Green Sticker for the US coloured version, Pink Sticker for the Takara tweaked version?

 

You Live! FOR THE COLONY!!

 

Thus speaks a US resident who struggled to get them.

Here in the UK, thanks to be a non show character that was double packed in his first case and getting shipped again in a second, he was an arch shelf warmer.

Somewhere along the line Hasbro UK *DID* gather remaining Cybersharks up (and Clawjaws) and shipped them solid cased to the discounter Toy Stack - I can remember walking into the Kingston branch one afternoon and suddenly finding pegs of both cheap where there'd been no BW the day before.

Needless to say several of the Cybersharks made the journey across the Atlantic to US chums in need.

It's a shame that that's what the toy is remembered for here as it's one of *THE* best BW Deluxes.

Odd assortment this: Tarantulus and Terrorsaur, show characters, fine. But K-9 and Cybershark?

 

Who knows, our reviewer is missing critical information for his "review."

Also, they don't need to upgrade Scorpy to Leader because there is at least one other show character who came in the Mega box: Inferno.

My theory is K9/Cybershark are ahead of a possible Generations release of both to set up retools of the four BW2 Cyber Beasts.

 

So he is bumped to deluxe. Bit hard to justify. The rumour is Rattrap was built from scratch with added costs but Terrorsaur's basic had a reuse as recently as Age of Extinction

 

Rattrap and Terrorsur were both basics and it looks like both have been bumped to deluxe.

 

Not one. Is THE best BW Deluxe.

 

Thank goodness your alive. When you said that the Hasbro Gestapo was after you, I feared you’d soon be found in Miami.

 

Now this is interesting. The other figures, you can get for decent prices, but a complete Scorponok is a figure with a rather steep price tag attached (well, steeper than Primal or Megatron). I'll have to keep my eye on this.

 

That doesn't mean Scorpy will get bumped up. They may just pack him with Inferno or some other random Voyager. It's not like being on the show matters if K9 and Cybershark are coming. (Unless they're going to be IDW)

 

I picked up nearly every Beast Wars figure for my son from flea markets over the last three years. The original toys were mostly all very good and I see no reason to pick up Kingdom versions. They aren't like original G1 toys that lacked articulation and the plastic quality was top notch, other than the few toys that suffered GPS. I never liked Beast Wars but am very impressed with the toys.

The Scorponok I was able to get was missing the bee drone, missiles, and the top of one claw. I'd much rather buy this reissue than the Kingdom version. Other than the visible screw heads, he's better in every way.

 

I liked the black version much better.

 

I was really dissappinted in K Scorponok's heaight. IMO he's pretty much perfect from the waist up, but the short pelvis and legs really make him look stupid.

My ideal version would have been a Voyager (and this is coming from a guy that has really hated bumping figures a size class, just because) with this Vintage's height and probably leg transformation, because K's suck a little bit.
