Oh, they're more like Pretenders. Okay.

the only thing i can think of after looking at this and at that BAD@$$ Eagle
is:

THAT and i want a figure...

This makes me optimistic for a Magna Boss and BW Grimlock re-release. A repainted classics Dinobot would make a great sub figure.

Though it likely will not happen, I could use a replacement Silverbolt and Grimlock. Both originals have succumbed to brittle gold plastic syndrome.

We already got a figure of all of the bots pictured alongside Ultra Mammoth:

• Eagle
• Lion
• Elephant
• Velociraptor

When I saw Beast Wars Shattered Glass I was really hoping for something like including all the Universe repaints of the Beast Wars figures. They pretty much work for this, as do some of the repaints that were done for Armada and Beast Machines (i.e. the Dinobots in Beast Machines).

edit: And I LOATHE that they're retconing these guys into Autobots. Screw that, they're Maximals. Always have been, always will be. If Hasbro wants to pretend that the Beast Wars never happened, that's up to them, but those figures were all released under the Beast Wars line as Maximals, not as 'Autobots'.

They also combine .

I'm sorry, but this isn't "Shattered Glass" Beast Wars. This is just normal Beast Wars. At least so far. We've always known the Tripredacus members and Grimlock were the Autobots of the same name just reformatted into Maximals. Ripping off Maximum Dinobots isn't at all original either.

I was hoping FunPub would have left Beast Wars well enough alone as far as "Shattered Glass" is concerned. I have very low expectations for this. If this is the new direction they're taking with the comic, then why the hell is this years BotCon set Machine Wars based?! Why not dig out the old BW molds, or even the Cybertron Beast Planet figures, and repaint those in "Shattered Glass" colors. Gah! This just has FAIL written all over it!

I really hope this gets us Universe Dinobot repainted into Grimlock with a new head from the club. I'd happily pay for that.
