    Default Botanica?

    I've wanted one for over a decade, and TFCC has teased on Twitter that maybe they will be ready to deliver... at some point. Maybe. Beast Hunters Soundwave as Botanica and and Laserbeak as her breast:

    For context, these panels are from the Club comic, and the prequel to their new "alternate Beast Wars" story that their (Megatron repaint) Rampage and (Arcee repaint) Transmutate toys are going to appear in.

    As well as Botanica, versions of Rattrap, Jawbreaker, Geckobot and Torca appear (as redecos of existing toys).

    Here's what that club exclusive/botcon exclusive Botanica toy might look like (and Jawbreaker)

    Damn... The more they focus on BWs stuff, the harder it is for me to let go of the series.
    That Botanica looks cool... As long as it doesn't transform to a plant

    they should change the face as well and that be perfect for the figure ...
    from the drawing it is based on BHsoundwave so the repaint should be eazy..

    I'd love a Botanica , but whilst the TF:P Soundwave model works well for her in art ... I'm finding it to be quite a stretch with the actual Dlx figure however - It just doesn't have her trademark slender neck.

    That and Prime Soundwave is all angles and lines. Doesn't really work for a plant.

    For a pre Beast era figure, deluxe Soundwave scrapes a pass but certainly not for Beast Machines Botanica.

    Although I doubt there'll ever be a better suited figure for a tree transformer so, why not Soundwave?

    Yeah - she landed on a planet with sapient plants, so - like the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth became machines, and the Maximals and Predacons on Earth became animals - her crew disguised themselves as plants.
