Aw don't be too negative, looks better than the Optimus prime from this year

That wasn't a particularly high bar to vault...

It looks nice, but it's not something worth chasing after.

A pass for me even at $100.
Good for those who want it.

Is it just me, or are these getting worse every year?

Guess I should be grateful there are some expensive TF's out there that I don't actually want. I haven't gotten any of the "Year of the..." toys since the YOTS Omega Supreme and Ultra Magnus.

Haha, radical. Nice to see a Chinese zodiac TF that actually reflects their animal. I would have preferred the original ultra class Primal mould though.
Also the monkey's fixed element is Metal. I don't really know what that means but it's cool because Optimus is also a metal robot. :B

This post was the most disappointing things I've clicked on in a long while. That just looks awful. Almost like someone swallowed a clown and regurgitated it and that is the end result

It's out already (in Taiwan) apparently.
If not, we get to see the packaging... and the new Beast Wars 20th Anniversary logo, suggesting that there will be some effort to commemorate 2016 for Beast Wars.


That's really early, as the Zodiac toys tend to be released in Asia in December, and then leak their way to western countries from January.
