Not terrorsaur?
In the General MP thread, I wrote:Let's talk about this guy:
For the longest time, he was considered an "impossible" Transformer to reproduce with show accuracy. Largely because this was his toy:
But now that it is common knowledge he is in fact, the third tallest Predacon after Megatron and Inferno, that perceived impossibility isn't so clear cut.
In terms of accessories, he would be most likely to bear pieces from his perhaps best standalone story in "Power Surge".
This:
and this:
To these:
However, he isn't necessarily going to be an easy figure to replicate in both forms. As above he does have some unusual bulk to his Bot Mode IE big shoulders, whereas his Beast Mode...
So from an engineering standpoint, while everyone remaining within the Season one cast won't require the complex wizardry of Dinobot, Terrorsaur is still the most interesting to see realised.

Bumblebee 2.0 was also slightly unclipped from the first shots of his backpack.

In every single one of the examples mentioned, did the fact that it was mistransformed in any way change anyone's opinion of the figure?
Is it even fair to call them mistransformed? I mean, they just aren't completely tabbed because their at the hand painted stage and there's thick paint on the tabs. They're intentionally not tabbed together. Knowing this the gaps don't bother me until we're at the final product.
I'll be pre-ordering Blackarachnia. Even at this stage this is the best version of her in this form we've had and by now I'm used to the beast modes being a little iffy. I do wonder if her weapon will fill in the gaps at all since we still haven't seen that and integrated weapons are a thing in this line.

Hence why I am really curious to see what they do with .

I’m just as confused by it. Gigatron’s wings are treated the same as Starscream’s, they just hang out there. Terrorsaur’s shrink and disappear.

Is tfsource a good site for international orders? Blackarachnia is up for pre-order. Any sites you recommend? Thanks.

Amazon japan. TFSource is fine but it will cost you double (when you add international shipping) and arrive later. If you would rather pay less and get it sooner, wait for it to go up on amazon japan and preorder there. Start by going to Amazon japan and creating your own log in and get aquainted with the site.

Indeed. So much for thinking there was mistransformation with the previous images
