    Good observation!

    I don't think the final product will have a transparent blaster. Surely this is still a WIP photo of the toy. I'd be quite surprised (and disappointed) if the rifle isn't coloured upon final release.

    The original form is certainly a better robot in disguise. TM Rattrap = Dinobot's taxi.

    Yeah, the original Rattrap is still my favourite. The flipchangers cop some flak from some fans, but I quite like them because you get that "real time" transformation during play. With other toys you kinda have to suspend the action while transforming. "Big Convoy, henshin!" <30 min later> "Maximals, att---, aah screw this..."; whereas w/ flipchangers it's like, "Rattrap Maximise!" <3 seconds later> "Pew! Pew! Pew!"

    Yeah, but IMHO Univ. Dinobot and Cheetor really didn't improve much on the original toys, whereas Rhinox really looks like a significant improvement in terms of design/engineering (mind you, he's also a larger and dearer Voyager whereas the original was a Deluxe - Univ. Dinobot and Cheetor were Deluxes same as the originals). Rattrap looks like a marked improvement over the original, although I doubt he's a Scout.

    I suspect so. A very nice feature if it is true.

    The thing to note is that Rattrap's head/brain piece looks to be transparent as well, so the gun pieces would be cast in the same piece of plastic.

    I'm going to take a stab and say that the Takara version will have a chrome head piece (and thus perhaps chrome blaster) where as the final Hasbro version will just be grey.

    Yeah I agree. I also suspect that the photo seen here is heavily photoshopped and that the real Hasbro Rattrap won't be as 'shiny'. Will go with the Japanese version most likely. Need to get myself that Rhinox too.

    Looking forward to this. It looks extremely good.

    For sure. He's a cover-girl after all

    2014 is looking like my most expensive for collecting in a very, very long time.

    Not sure where the "scout" idea comes from. I don't see any way this toy is anything smaller than deluxe. Although given the shrinking size of deluxe's, that may work out well.

    Anyone ever consider doing a really gross custom of rattrap with actual rat hair?

    Anyone want to do one for me?

    What are some good other Beast Wars figs to go with this besides Waspy and Rhinox?

    Try and find the 10th Anniversary repaint/resculpts of Optimus Primal and Megatron. They'll look great next to these new 'bots.
