I need a better look at Takara's. I dislike the Rhino skin colour in the pics they have shown, but the painted chain guns are a big plus. However accessories are easy to DIY paint so I'm still undecided.

The word is out:
Tankor is going to be a deluxe version of Beast Machines Tankor and a brand new mold
Crosscut is going to be a recolour of Generations Skids with a new head sculpt
Very cool news, though a little dissapointing for those of us hoping Tankor would be a Voyager version of Octane.

From TFW:
Not surprised that Rattrap's rat mode lacks poseability.Rattrap is as you can see in the image based on his season 1 beast mode. The image in the magazine shows Rattrap comes with two guns, most likely they combine to make the larger gun shown on the cover. His beast mode is an organic rat, nicely detailed but it seems to lack some poseability.
Tankor is likely to be the star of this assortment, for those wanting show-accurate Beast Machines toys. His robot form is nearly spot-on to how the character looked in the Beast Machines series, with the tank mode sporting the semi-exposed head which was something of a trademark for Tankor. Plus he sports a Vehicon faction symbol - making the Vehicons the sixth faction represented in the current Transformers Generations series.
Crosscut is as some anticipated a silver redeco of Skids, with a new head. The new head seems to be based on the original alternate head design of Diaclone Skids, later used on the exclusive E-Hobby Crosscut and Generations book Screech figures.
Show accurate Tankor is really a pleasant surprise though. Hope they'll give us more BM characters. Pretty much anything they will be a huge improvement in terms of show-accuracy.

I've seen pictures of these on Facebook, but I won't post them here because the club doesn't want them revealed online yet. But Tankor looks the best of these 3.

Saw the news this morning. I've never seen Beast Machines and don't have anything from that line in my collection so Tankor better be really good or I'll be skipping him. (who am I kidding, they will put him in IDW and then I will have to buy him.) Crosscut should be good.
I guess now we just need Nightbeat confirmed.

Tankor looks a little lame in a retro kind of way. The other are great!
