First Possible Look At Transformers Kingdom Core Class Rattrap

That looks pretty good! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the Beasts.

On the figure side though. I am really not a fan of this, I think that I will be saving a lot of money this coming year if half the figures are BW. Does anyone else find it strange that we basically know of every figure that will be released in the kingdom line and ER has not even ended yet?

To be fair, this isn't the first time it's happened. Titan's Returns and Power of the Primes was also heavy set with leaks. I did think they had a handle on it after PotP but looks like I was wrong.

Anyway, I'm loving Rattrap and if the rest of the bessts are just as well handled (assuming good QC) then I think its going to be quite a year for me.

Okay, I’m impressed. I figured the Core class was going to be something naff like the Prime Masters on their own, but this Rattrap has me converted (lol, geddit). If this is any indication of how Kingdom will turn out I might actually go in for some of the line as opposed to the holes left like Inferno, Tracks, and the Minibots left.

Looks pretty nice, especially for the size. T30 looks to be the better toy overall but this is like a third of the size, so oh well. Looks like he needs better paint though, IMO anyway.

Best Rattrap is still the Transmetal mold, AKA the Rat Rod.

But they'll be making G1 toys in this size class too.

Rattrap looks pretty good. I want a more fun organic rat mode Rattrap, and this looks like the one! Crazy to think I'll have 3 Rattraps. he wasn't my favorite character, but he was still really good and enjoyable, so he is deserving of the 3 toys in my collection he'll have!

I'm also very appreciative of the smaller sizes. I've come to realize I am really good with the downsizing of the figures since more can fit on a shelf to make a better looking army, and it makes the bigger guys actually seem bigger. I'm cool with it!

I could not disagree more.

FINALLY adding Beast Wars? This is finally starting to put the "s" back in "Generations". The line should not be 95% G1 with a random callout or 2 thrown in. Make it like this, 50% G1/50% BW, and continue that diversity.

Transformers should be like Marvel Legends, and this is at long last a step in the right direction, a step that was made in Thrilling 30 and then stagnated, and now is finally headed that way again.

I'm not expecting perfection by any means, but I think these will stick out like a sore thumb, not fitting in well with the rest of the WFC line

Really? For the size class I thought they did a bang up job!

I'll definitely be getting this.

Compared to the Siege/ER two micromasters in a pack that it is replacing it doesn't feel cheap and is somewhat of an improvement. Just don't compare it to old beast wars figures that had metal springs and mechanic doohickys at half the price.

And I cannot disagree with THIS more.

I think their sales will show that those who were keen on the G1 asthetic, will not be keen on the BW characters. There are so many great WFC releases to date, and this just feels like a letdown.
