There were rumours a couple of years ago of a Voyager Rhinox, and I've hoped against hope ever since. Finally, long-suffering BW fans got something to celebrate :D

Amen to that brother. :cool:

You didn't happen to notice if your new chassis had had its shoulder assemblies fixed did you? ;):p

Yeah I thought that was the case too. Maybe they didn't explain it well, wouldn't be the first time a company has bungled their explanation of a product.

BBTS has the Platinum Edition #10 Predaking reissue available for preorder. Priced at $120 USD, it's scheduled to arrive in August

He looks to have a golden version of Voyager Beast Hunters Optimus Primes Sword as well :confused: -- Either way, do want!

There couldn't possibly be trademark issues with "Predacon Tantrum™" could there?

I wonder why "Torox". It just seems so out of place.

Not a big deal I guess. Would be very keen on Platiking if I didn't already have the last Takara reissue with the gold paint.

Hmmm, Well I only just got Blitzwing Hursti and haven't had a chance to inspect/transform him yet. So in answer to your question, not sure! One thing I will say is that all of the new Generations toys looked somewhat 'premum' in their paint apps, I find it hard to believe they will pop as much as the ones on display. Swerve in particular really stood out in his glossy red paint.

Ah, fair enough :) - Yeah, I wouldn't be too surprised if what was on display were painted prototypes :o; that said, we could get lucky and that the better paint is due to the money saved and diverted from the upcoming Prime/Beast Hunters lines. :D

It would be nice to have a Takara quality paint job on the Hasbro Generations figures, but I doubt the final products will be that good.

SDCC Metroplex is actually number 1 of 30.
