Man this gets my mind going....It would be neat if next year they released the Maximal Elders as Magnaboss. I just wonder what vehicle modes they could choose? (Ironhide-a Prime/Motormaster retool, Silverbolt-any Airealbot limb, Prowl-CW Prowl retool) and who would be the 4th/5th members...I know it wont happen...just fun to think about though.

Prowl, Silverbolt, and Ironhide are already in this comic in their G1/CW bodies.

Yes but the Maximal Elders (Ironhide, Prowl, and Silverbolt) are not the same as their G1 namesakes, so they would be different characters.

He is right. G1 Ironhide, Silverbolt and Prowl became Magnaboss. :MAXIMAL:

Hrmm... I always thought G1 Prowl became the Transmetal Owl in BW that had no memory of his prior existence...

Transmetal 2 Prowl is Chip Chase in Binaltech Prowl's Alpha BT body, redubbed "Prowl II".

Are we just going to ignore that Megatron is in the background of some of the Terrorsaur pictures?

The Sourcebook did it, then Hirofumi Ichikawa (via Ask Vector Prime) made sense of it.

I understand it's a necessity with the characters chosen but that is a very visually boring set, colour-wise (besides Tarantulas).

From the looks of it, Reflector can be accomplished with three unaltered Shockwaves. Looks like I have two more Shockwaves to get!

Not feeling the Predacus set or most of the exclusives at all.

Well I'm excited to pay way too much for that Megatron, then pay slightly less way too much for Under-3.

News Credits: 149 · by **Big Grim** » Thu Apr 07, 2016 4:29 pm

I actually kinda want that Megatron...

News Credits: 12 · by **Evil Eye** » Thu Apr 07, 2016 4:33 pm

Megatron is GORGEOUS and I want him, which makes it all the sadder that I will never have him, especially as my RID Megatron is falling apart.

Reflector looks good...in robot mode. That "camera" mode is a clusterf*ck.

Airrazor looks OK I guess. Meh. I'd rather have the Slipstream version of that mold.

Unit-3 looks...alright I suppose? Eh, don't really care. Nice vehicle mode though.

Tigatron is pffffft hahahahaahaahHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Reflector's camera mode ain't thaaaaat bad, I'm certainly digging it.

Hope I can get a hold of someone willing to get me this trip builder set...

Yeesssssss... That Megatron is glorious.
But is it worth paying 100+ on eBay? I must ponder this thought. :-?

I need that Megatron in my life, it's fantastic! The Reflectors look decent enough, but their camera mode looks hardly anything like a camera. Some kind of Cybertronian camera/spying device thingimajig probably, if you stretch your imagination.

Tigatron and Airazor don't look that appealing, but I like how Unit-3 has turned out. Custom Class Ratchet does make me a bit sad though, because I hoped Combiner Wars Ratchet would happen at some point....just not as a convention's custom class exclusive figure that has no paint or stickers, and I won't be able to afford one anyway. Here's hoping Titans Return (or even Prime Wars 3 whatever that will be) has room for a new Ratchet figure somewhere.

Oh I want that Airrazor. No idea who Unit 3 is meant to be, so don't care. And yeah, no to that Tigatron. Reflector looks good.

Oh, yeah... and that Megatron.... :michaelbay:

Unit 3 is another name for Beast War's Under 3.

Transformers Beast Wars Under-3 (Lionhead) Gallery

Somehow, the Souvenirs... I don't know, don't make me so enthusiastic. Maybe because most are more of the same (Airazor, Tigatron). Unit-3 may be the shining light in the set because of his source material.
