At least if all the simplified toys feature this Tesco Value boxart they'll be easy to spot and avoid. I'm not really fussed about movie figures anyway, I am just eager to see where they take the next TV show and toyline. I'm really really hoping for an Aligned interpretation of Beast Wars, with Beast Hunters just having been a transitional teaser!
I can say for certain that that's not going to happen since, when the Prime creators were putting together the Beast Hunters season of the cartoon, they wanted to avoid any and all possible ties to Beast Wars that they could, as making a new version of Beast Wars was the last thing they wanted to do. And that was because they wanted to do something entirely new and original to give Beast Hunters its own identity and not be related to Beast Wars.
And the end result gave us just that: Predacons are ancient gigantic dragon creatures instead of downsized Decepticons descendants, for instance.

Are you referring to the Premium Edition OP that we saw from ACToys?
Looking at the two, they do appear to be different toys.
Same mold, though.
To which molds are you referring? This slam thing, the one over at ACToys and the "Leader" at NYCC are all different molds.
Ah, so they are. I was thinking that this and the ACToys silver chrome one were the same. Similar posture, at least.
