The fact that ONLY the head has been changed made me think the same thing. The retooled guys we've been getting in Generations so far are a lot more complex than just a head swap.Quote:

I'm gonna go against the grain and say that I think this doesn't seem like a bad idea. :) The new head sculpt looks pretty cool to me, though I'd like to see some colour pics. The Voyager FoC Grimlock mould itself doesn't seem that great, and I don't think this toy would be any better/worse than Grimmie. Does the mould suit Megatron? Well, if they colour it like Transmetal Megatron then I think it might work.
At least Hasbro's trying to make a new character with this mould and even going to the effort of giving it and alternate head. It shows that they've put some thought behind it... a lot more thought than just some other random repaint. So yeah, I think the idea's kinda neat. How well it will turn out in execution remains to be seen. ;)
I'd like to echo the sentiment expressed by 99% of this thread in that when I heard & saw this news on Twitter last night, and Tets can attest to this, I was pretty bloody PO'ed to say the least. :(
It's great that Hasbro would like to honour Beast Wars & its characters in the latest iteration of the Generations line, but they have to bloody well do them actual justice with some actual new molds & not the half-arsed attempts offered thus far & certainly not via retools & repaints! :mad:
I certainly hope that what we've seen in this prototype, is simply just another one of those boring Officially Sanctioned 3rd Party figures.
Beast Wars deserves some proper recognition & implementation within the Generations line for a change, because it's Beast Wars that has allowed Hasbro to even contemplate celebrating a 30th Anniversary of G1 & the brand itself.
It's a lovely head sculpt, attach it to a proper new body & then we'll talk. :cool:
Oh I most certainly can ;) And I agree. It doesn't fit Megs at all, in any way. If it's a botcon toy, then I can live with that, just means I care even less. But as a Generations figure. No, no no no noooooo.Quote:

*fingers crossed for Generations T-Wrecks*
Surely it will be Predacon. Perhaps this is for the Beast Hunters line?
That's an interesting take. Although imo, the foc aesthetic doesn't match Beast Hunters that well. I guess that's what Predacon is about a bit though...Quote:
