Cyclonus looks really good, but I'm worried that an even better Studio Series version of him will get released.
LOL
Cyclonus is fantastic. Exactly what I wanted for one of my favourite G1 characters. The RTS deluxe has served me well, but he’s going to be doing armada duty now. Hopefully Kingdom Galvatron has just as much cartoon goodness. I have been on the fence about the BW characters, but Megatron has really blown me away, he looks amazing and I may end up folding and going all out with the S1 cast. Hopefully work kicks back up by the time Kingdom comes around.
Looking forward to hopefully more reveals including Studio Series Scourge, Hot Rod and Kup, though I won’t be getting the latter.
Pretty sure this Cyclonus is meant to go with all the Studio Series 86 guys, as well as Kingdom Galvatron and the like. They’re just split between the two Generations sublines for space reasons.Quote:

Yup. Looks like a nice blend of toon and toy aesthetic. I don't think I really need my 1996 one anymore....Quote:

All look fantastic, no question

These pack ins are a bit head-scratching.Quote:
Cyclonus/Cheetor/Megatron (Beast) includes a Golden Disk card that reveals a possible destiny of a key character. Collect other KINGDOM figures to reveal all 3 alternate destiny variants for each character (each sold separately, subject to availability)!”
Assume it's the same "Key character" for these three toys and each has a different "Destiny" (I assume something like the POTP cards - but not random? Why do I think these are about Optimus Prime/al? )
Is the mini-figure with Rattrap a small version of Rattrap or another "iconic characer"? And why would you need that to pose with other Rattrap toys at larger scales?
I think it's a typo and they mean KINGDOM toys in general.
Is there a list of all SS 86 or Kingdom G1 figures that have been rumoured (but with circumstantial evidence such as a store listing), leaked or officially revealed? If so, please link or share. Thanks :)
Makes sense. I wonder why just Rattrap and not other BW bots?Quote:

IGN has reveals of these officially. There?s some strange advertising copy for them though.
Rattrap
From Hasbro: "The WFC-K2 Core Class RATTRAP collectible figure stands at 3.5 inches tall and converts to Beast Wars-inspired rat mode with molded fur texture in 18 steps. RATTRAP comes with classic Fusion blaster accessory inspired by the one featured in the Beast Wars cartoon. Wise cracks not included, but you can imagine! The mini-figure allows fans to collect a mini version of the iconic character to pose out with other RATTRAP toys at larger scales (each sold separately, subject to availability)!"
So are they making larger scale Rattraps? And why the hell would you want to pose them at multiple scales? Unless its a shrine to all things Ratty?
Cheetor
From Hasbro: "The WFC-K4 Deluxe CHEETOR collectible figure stands at 5.5 inches tall, converts to Beast Wars-inspired cheetah mode in 20 steps with intricate cheetah-inspired molded fur texture, and features lower jaw articulation in cheetah mode for classic look of CHEETOR enthusiasm. CHEETOR?s tail also detaches from cheetah mode during conversion and becomes a tail whip accessory that can be held by the figure in robot mode. CHEETOR includes a Golden Disk card that reveals a possible destiny of a key character. Collect other KINGDOM figures to reveal all 3 alternate destiny variants for each character (each sold separately, subject to availability)!"
So does that mean (by ?possible? density) that its a 1 in 3 and random, or if you collect a whole set you get all three cards one for each character?
The new reveals look pretty good. Megatron looks absolutely amazing. As I've said elsewhere, my only issue with these is entirely person - I don't find the season 1 Beast Wars designs that interesting. If this is the kind of treatment we can expect down the line maybe for Transmetal designs, then I'm super keen for those.
Cyclonus looks pretty good. I still think the OG Universe 2.0 mold beats this one, but it looks great none the less.
The only way I can interpret that is that they're going to do one at Deluxe price or larger (maybe a Transmetals version?), but that the Core Class figure is the best if you're after a show scale accurate collection?Quote:

The "core" size class has the same RRP in America as the Micromaster 2-pack size class, so the size of the toy will be about double the volume of a Siege/Earthrise Micromaster... and if there is an intention to have a Deluxe class version of Core class toys, that would probably be what they are talking about, having toys that scale to different size classes.
Either it comes with a tiny figure of Rattrap (probably in rat mode) that can be posed with other Kingdom toys or other Rattrap toys for scale, or they are referring to the Basic size Rattrap as a mini-figure. That's my take.
Or else it was a typo, and should have said KINGDOM instead of RATTRAP.
It's a typo, it supposed to say,
"...Mini-figure allows fans to collect a mini version of the iconic character to pose out with other *KINGDOM* toys at larger scales"
Look at the copy written for Cheetor.
