Official in package pictures have been released of Rattrap and Tankor.
Tankor looks like a Basic.... very simple and small.
I think the enclosed comics have given Hasbro an excuse to reduce the size/quality of these Deluxes. :(
The only reason i ordered this wave was for crosscut, but now they have removed him i'm a bit disappointed.
Rattrap looks really good. Tankor looks pretty big for the bubble, but a bit simple looking as well.
I agree that Tankor's a bit disappointing but even in the show his transformation was hardly what you would call complex…
I also was looking forward to Crosscut, I still don't have the Skids mold because I'm waiting for a Japanese version.
Ratrap looks good also, though Tankor seems to herald the return if the dreaded Hasbro grey.
I have a feeling that Rattrap will not be much larger than the basic original class figure...
Tankor is an easy skip, especially knowing what comic he will be packed with (the only one he had a line in) and seeing that the transformation is terrible, the toy won't have anywhere near that many paint apps and that the head just... Sits there. :rolleyes:
I know that I should want Rattrap, I liked his character in the BW cartoon and don't mind the role he is currently playing in RID and now the Windblade comic, but I just can't get past my dislike of organic looking alt-modes. If they do a Transmetal version I will consider it, but these new pics have convinced me to bypass the figure. That furry body and those pink feet - eww.
Tankor is a complete pass. His tank mode is totally off. I knew something didnt sit right with me when I saw it.
How is the older toy a lot better then this newer one? How extremely disappointing!!

I'm really not that big of a fan of Beast Machines, that said however I'm looking forward to Tankor equally as much as I am Rattrap! - I keep saying it, coz Hasbro keeps delaying them :rolleyes:, but these guys can't come soon enough! :D
The cannon on Tankor looks pretty bad, the original looks better.
Tankor is accurate to his IDW appearance though, isn't he?
Just got an email from Robotkingdom. Crosscut has been removed from the case and the other two moved back to June now. They also strongly suggested that I cancel this Pre Order and get a refund. Not to happy about this.:(
Rattrap looks nice, but that Tankor.. Bleurgh! It's not even all that large. Sheesh, they have to do better than that got get my cash.
I will have him some time next week. Will post some pics if I have time.
