Beast Hunters at NYCC

[Hursticon]

I'm extremely looking forward to all of the "Beast" figures from the "Beast Hunters" line:

• Twinstrike - Easily a G1 Sinnertwin homage, a pretty cool looking little Legion figure.
• Lazerback - I'm really intrigued by this Deluxe, a merger of RiD (Basic) Bruticus & G1 (Firecon) Flamefeather; He looks to be quite a brute of a figure.
• Predaking - This guy is going to be available at all sizes but Legion, though it's the Leader Class figure that is going to be the shiner IMO, I cannot wait to get my hands on this giant embodiment of Mythological Awesome!

Soundwave has me intrigued, I think I'm going to have to see him in an "In-Hand" fashion to make my final thoughts but I'm loving the "Road-Kill" Ravage squashed on his chest!

I'm actually quite impressed with Wheeljacks retooling too, as a Carmageddon fan it speaks to me on a "Cunning Stunt" level and he is far superiorly executed compared to that of the zillionth iteration of Bumblebee (He head re-sculpt looks okay though).


But... As mentioned in the other thread, Australians are likely never to see any of these figures hit local stores; Maybe they might show up in Independent toy stores 9 months after everywhere else in the world but I'm not holding out hope.

TFW2005 has a slideshow up.

There are a few in there I like.

Hmm.. anybody else getting a Malware alert from TFW2005?

[Tober]

It was mentioned on another board.

Apparently there are links to sites within the boards that host malware and it is not TFW2005 itself that hosts it. So I guess it might not be a real issue, just a spam-bot that's been hidden from public view.

It's as if they took RID Bruticus and Cybertron Scourge and smooshed them together.

Don't forget Classics Nightscream

On a more serious note, where's my Deluxe Arcee decked out in Barb Wire getup?

I like smooshy

They all look horrible. That's actually good for me so i can concentrate my money on other figures i'm after.

Twinstrike looks sorta ok. I hope he doesn't have a lame looking face though.

I really like the idea of monster Transformers, but not sure Hasbro can pull them of still without going all Beast Machines.

I agree, the concept is sound but I am not liking the execution so far.
