5mm ports are easy to either a) hide or b) justify on 'vehicle' G1 TRANSFORMERS because they have a blocky look / can do folding tricks with panels. E.g. an extra hole in g1 prime's/ sunstreaker's/ sideswipe's arm or shin can be either hidden or hand-waved as "mechanical detail" in either mode.

But the beasties? They have very smooth/ organic looks. It'd be VERY difficult to justify why an animal at the zoo had perfectly circular divots in its body.

Plus, can you imagine the response Hasbro would get from BW fans if munky prime, t-rex megs, dinobot or cheetor's beast modes were pock-marked with holes? It'd be worse than POTP primal's small "jet" mode.

 

Just because the Beast guys don't have 5mm weaponizer ports doesn't mean they couldn't make use of the Fossilizers ability to break in to weapons they can hold in their hands. I think modular figures are going to be around beyond WfC. Mostly because they seem to have been really well received.

He\'s not fat, just big boned!

 

Have they? I know a lot of people like them, but they also seem to sell slower than regular figures. At least that's my perception in a limited local sample size.

 

I think they tend to hang around because they're the ones most commonly repacked. Because those molds don't get the same kind of reuse at retail.

 

Given that he was portrayed as an adolescent going through puberty, I think we can work in the pock-marks for Cheetor.  

 

I knew it wasnt a triceratops lol. I just wanted to see if anyone was going to call me out for daring to call it a triceratops. Kinda like those guus who get mad when you say the 2007 and 2009 camaros are identical.

 

Only buying the fossilizers from this line, but I would DEFINITELY pick up a "goth teen" redeco of cheetor!  

 

This, this is it.

I'm so excited for these bone fellas, theres so many different ways to interpret them. Mindless zombies, ancient guardians, normal transformers, bone knights, the possibilities are endless.

goth teen, you say? well...
