Upcoming Generations figures?

That's a very good point!

Would be cool if that was their name for an evil Rhinox repaint from Dark Designs.

Found the TFW digibash - those colours work very well together (he's a Beast Constructicon!):

Rhinox is a bit too 'realistic' for my tastes. I prefer metal over leather/fur for my bots.

I doubt we'll see any re-hashed Transmetals when it comes to BW homages in the 30th Anniversary line, so you'll have to find your metal beasts somewhere else.

I'd buy that...

Predacon Rhinox has a nice ring to it

I don't know... judging by that IDW Rattrap image, which is more like the Beast Machines (metal beast) version, it wouldn't surprise me that the Rattrap toy with Tankor, could be the "Beast Machines" component of the "thrilling 30" (commemorative) Generations line that appears to be covering as many different eras/series as possible.

You may well be right, Griff. My eyes saw 'Rattrap' and they lit up! It's easy to forget the wimp he became in BM -- or block it out

Rattrap was almost pathetic in BM... The episode that he protected Megatron just upset me... Just kill him, end the war!!!!!!

Yep

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!

[Hursticon]

Yep

Someone should write a better conclusion to the Beast-era; one that doesn't end up with Cybertron being a cabbage. There was this Transformers: Deicide story...

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.


...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.
