New Galleries and Video: Club Subscription Service Thrustinator and Rewind

In other news revealed by these galleries, Thrustinator to arrive sometime in July and Rewind coming in October with the mystery figure. I'm gonna guess based off that information that Treadshot is August and Chromedome is September (I'll be happy if I'm wrong on this guess). Very excited for Thrustinator next, he was the one I wanted most besides Chromedome. I find it interesting, fluffwise, that Rewind's guns are actually "Dataspikes". It does fit the character more than picturing him as being armed to the teeth. Still probably going to buy that one from shapeways and paint it up, but that's just cuz it's absurdly comic accurate and I like it. Very curious who the mystery figure will be, and whether it will be another scout or a deluxe. (Do we have actual confirmation it's a scout? I've seen alot of people making that assumption, but no hard evidence)

Umm, so who's the yllow scorponok in the bckground?

At the risk of derailing the thread, how many molds can do a gunface mode?

Thrustinator, on the other hand, I must have. It's gloriously insane.

Sadly, none of the subscription figures have caught my eye enough to buy 'em, but Thrustinator is certainly fun looking. I love this part of your post: "It's gloriously insane." That's the best way to sum it up. lol

Rewind looks pretty good, but I'd much rather we have the original Frenzy and Rumble as this mold was intended to be. *sighs* What could've been. (I just can't justify the import price of the set from Japan. As nice as it is, I just can't pay $80.00+ for two $7-10.00 figures.)

Nice repaint. I wonder how many more toys will be repainted with the Terradive mold.

Too true.

Because it's homage to the yellowish orange eyes of the motorcycle drone toy from 2001,

No it is not. We were told the Club would be correcting it to blue. His robot mode Waspy eye is blue, it only makes sense for his wasp mode eye to be blue too.

And Thrust had a red visor in the cartoon, just like his robot mode Thrust eye is.

It's possible it's a production error, But it makes more since for the club to give wink the toy the CG model was based on .

More like vice-versa. The Motorcycle Drone was based off the CGI model from the previous year. Beast Machines's second year had toys based off the show models since its first year toys barely resembled them due to the show and toys not being on the same page for that first year.

Actually The thrust figure proper came out in 2000, with the toyline starting in 1999. The motorcycle drone would've been from beast machines third year I always heard the rumor that mainframe used hasbro's in production concepts of the drones for both the drones and generals due to budget constraints.

No matter the Details, I like the Yellow Eyed version better, it's reminiscent of the motorcycle drone figure, which was the most accurate interpretation of thrust at the time, and to an extent still is. plus that would be three/four homages in this toy, and the more there are, the better the toy is (that part was snark).
