That's all Takara's doing, not Hasbro. I'm talking about Hasbro alone.SkyWarpt wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I just had a thought. What if this one toy alone is counted as Hasbro's attempt to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars?
There is also an MP Optimus Primal in the works.

People want Hasbro to do something in addition to Takara's MP Primal, and if this is the only thing Hasbro does, then a lot of BW fans ain't gonna be happy.

You know Hasbro, they can be lazy, but they're never below pulling out a rabbit out of a hat.
Honestly, who did not expect a G1-Prime themed redeco of an Optimus Primal this year Now we wait for his companion piece.

Rodimus Prime wrote:I would think a proper companion piece would be either Megatron or Cheetor. (Personally I would love a Tigatron.)
Also, all the other Year of The ____ Primes come with a trailer. This one obviously does not. Does that mean there will be additional stuff included, perhaps a hoverboard or another, smaller, figure? (Megabolt Megatron in G1 colors would be cool.) Or if he will be by himself, will the price be about half of the others?
And yes, I do own the other 4. I am planning on collecting all 12. Should make for a colorful display.
And if Hasbro does NOTHING ELSE to commemorate Beast Wars, that will be very pathetic on their part. It was Beast Wars that got a lot of people interested in Transformers again. Not sure just how much Hasbro has to do with BotCon, but next year's BotCon theme should be Beast Wars as well.

I love the colors, nevervhad the fig. Not crazy about the head and the white is making it wash out details or looks like it on my phone, but this figure is a definate maybe.

There is, however, another anniversary next year that Hasbro can (and, if present rumors prove true, more likely will) commemorate: The 30th anniversary of the 1986 movie.Rodimus Prime wrote:And if Hasbro does NOTHING ELSE to commemorate Beast Wars, that will be very pathetic on their part.

It just so happened that Beast Wars came out in the same year as that movie's 10th anniversary, so Beast Wars and the 1986 movie will always be in direct competition with each other when it comes to their anniversary decades.

Well, I'm a big fan of the 86 movie, but the only commemoration I can think for it is having it released on blu-ray finally. I have the 20th anniversary 2-disc set, and I'm quite happy with it. Beast Wars needs more attention.Sabrblade wrote:There is, however, another anniversary next year that Hasbro can (and, if present rumors prove true, more likely will) commemorate: The 30th anniversary of the 1986 movie.Rodimus Prime wrote:And if Hasbro does NOTHING ELSE to commemorate Beast Wars, that will be very pathetic on their part.
