I'm surprised no one suggested Prime Skyquake/Dreadwind with a new head as Megatron and any repaints he had...

And today, I feel that they have a steep hill to climb as I'd have preferred a Beast Machines follow-up.

Well the last few 3H-hosted BotCons/OTFCCs had the 2003 Universe series set up as a Beast Machines follow up.

And there's the Japanese timeline follow up to Beast Wars Returns with Beast Wars Reborn.

That is true, but my point is that I'd prefer something that I like a wee bit more than how this line turned out. Because I was one of those fans who wanted a Generation 1 revival at that time, and said "WTF is this?!" when they debuted this line.

And I knew both things. And the comparison is why Beast Wars Neo's Longrack is basically my only favorite Beast Wars character.

No. Please no.

Machine wars? never remember that one, I suppose Europe got mainly beast wars, or were those the moulds that made the pseudo generation 1.5

Machine Wars was an exclusive that had Hasbro collaborating with K-B Toys. Nothing real special back then, and a lot of fans (including myself) were hoping it was more of a Generation 1 revival. And unlike Generation 2, it did not really go international... Receive any real love when it debuted... And does not really have any vintage-based value.

In other words - BotCon has a lot of work if they want to make this a likable theme, especially for those who were around when the line first debuted.

No. Please no.

The mold is too recent anyways and still in use by Hasbro.

didnt see that one coming

I wished I had the money for the botcon exclusives and this year will be no exception. I just think that with a line that had little to no fiction and only a hand full of repaints from Europe and leftover molds from G2 there's a lot that can be done with this.

doing more, better.

Oh, the grammar.

Sorry, I had to.[/quote]


Oh and that wasn't bad grammar. The comma denotes a pause in the sentence thus breaking how it was to be read. "Wings is doing more with what they have, and better." is what he seemed to be intending to say. Instead he typed it the way he did and still got the point across by using just the comma. Had he not used that comma then it would've read: "more better". Which is indeed, poor grammar.

Sorry, I had to.

Hopefully this means Machine Wars Starscream using the Universe Silverbolt mold. I've been wanting that.

Oh, helloooooo, hint!

I'll be explaining HOW this works tomorrow. As soon as I do you all will go "ohhhhhhhh, that makes sense"

It's very simple, a method that is very common, yet very awesome when applied to this franchise...
