BTS-05 Nightfang & Savage Preorder Up: Combines with Tremor & Frequency

Me too. Ravage's tail seems odd, but I guess it's a compromise for jointing. I really like how his mouth is more naturally open.

PASS

Why does everything "Neo" have to fit into a G1 Soundwave ??? I dont mix my classics and G1 figures displays (except Sky-Lynx) I like what perfect effect did better, and hope they do a repaint set of Enemy and Wing Thing.

I confess nothing BTS have done has ever struck a chord with me, but Nightfang is certainly plucking my strings. I don't like Perfect Effect's Kingbat but I do like what PE have done with the "Cassette" Transformers, and unfortunately this just won't fit in. Coupled with the fact I'd have to pay for what I think is the worst Ravage ever means I'll be skipping this offering too.

I'm not liking that Ravage, but that Ratbat is loads better than PE's Kingbat

I want to like these ... but I don't.

Well, I guess I can't blame people for not liking these; they're pretty stylized. Much more so than any G1 figure or even Classics Ravage.

That said, I really like the way these look. Their take on Rumble and Fenzy I got only to add to my cassette army, but these guys I'd get to be their Neo G1 selves (if I mixed the tapes in with my classics collection). I think this version of Ravage blows the Universe version right out of the water! Although I don't know if he's better than the mastery that is G1 Ravage.

Something was bothering me about that Ravage that I couldn't put my finger on at first until I checked out TFSource's entire little gallery. They have a pick of him howling like a wolf. They totally mistook Ravage for a dog! That explains the proportions being wonky. I'm getting that Ratbat and I'm not even sure what I'm going to do with that Ravage.

nice, I had been waiting to see what these would be like for my Sonicron
i wasnt that interested in the Frenzy/ Rumble set but these look great,especially Ratbat

BBTS has their preorder up. Not crazy about the price, especially since BTS has only produced "okay" in my book, but I'm interested in Ratbat. And see potential in Savage.

Don't see him as Ravage, say he's a new bot that becomes a greyhound. Just look:


And here's your movie version

As promised, TFSource has updated their facebook page with the combination pics of BTS-05 wave 1 Tremor & Frequency and wave 2 Nightfang & Savage. There are also some additional images of Nightfang & Savage to help you decide to buy.
