Yep, a bloody good read it was too!
I'm very much considering going the Takara route too, as the metallic paint will be more consistent with the rendering of the CG models from the cartoon.But back on topic - Takara have confirmed they'll be putting out their own versions of Rhinox and Waspinator. No pics as of yet, but going by their past track record, they're bound to have some metallic paint on there! Around $35 and $65 respectively, and coming out Feb-Mar net year. I'm saving my pennies already!
...also, if Rattrap ends up being his Beast Machines iteration? - It'll be a total pass from me but if Tankor turns out to be his BM iteration I'll damn pick that up!, had better be a Voyager class figure at that.![]()
