I like the figure pretty much. The only thing that might make him look a bit out of place for SIEGE are the hollow legs. And I think scalewise he should have been a Voyager class. But otherwise he looks awesome and I absolutely want him.

Oh i am going to get him, I have gotten all the fan vote folks cause I've voted for them. But Impactor really needed to look better, it seems like he did not get as much effort as Mirage, and Impactor was the driving force for the vote if we're honest

Every time I see pics of Omega I get that I can't wait feeling

I think that green color on hound just doesn't seem right. Maybe it's the lighting.

Seacons - well I like transformers with swords and probably will make my final decision when they get some color

Star Convoy looks like a buy

Maybe he needs a place to store his nuts

Obviously it isn't technically confirmation that the Seacon limbs will have Targetmaster modes, but I'm just going to point out that there is a five millimeter peg on the back of Scalor's gun, which I can't think of another purpose for. Here's hoping I'm right, thereby meaning we will get the whole team.

OMG, I can't believe I missed this. The title above the silhouette says "King Poseidon Project", right? The (handwritten?) Kanji are a really close approximation:

海神王 wadatsumiō: sea god king, Poseidon king.
計画 keikaku: plan

Is that a reference to something?

Probably not, but it is weird that his name isn't in the usual katakana キングポセイドン kinguposeidon.

I guess it's all a matter of taste
To me it's the other way round. Mirage doesn't look that good: weird absolutely hollow legs (way worse than Impactor's), fake chest, blocky rear spoiler and a not Cybertronian enough alt mode. His alt mode looks straight from earth. Might fit into the Unicron trilogy. I guess that's why they decided now to add some translucent parts.

I called it all the way back with Ultra Magnus but no one listened to me! That was the figure that started the trend.

I hear you man. Bring back the details we got with the Datsun brothers and Wheeljack. I think the newer Hotrod was the last MP I bought.

Piranacon is going to be awesome. I spy forward and backward tilts as well as the side to side tilts on the feet too, which is great to see. Assuming I can, I'll definitely try and get them. I just hope we get some form of Tentakil...

I can't see why they would leave out Tentakill. If they are only going to release 5 members then they will either leave out Nautilator (mold wouldn't be used for a God Neptune redeco) or Overbite(traditionally forms the gun) but I think we will probably get the whole team.

It reminds me of his highly underrated Beast Machines iteration:



It is weird how some of the SIEGE line are looking less Cybertronian as the line goes on.

I've already given my thoughts on the Seacons in the MP-19+ thread. Can't wait! I've always had a soft spot for the Gestalts and it is way past time Takara stopped remaking the same half a dozen and remembered that others exist.

I'm leaning to the thought we'll get the whole team.

Sweet callback!

I think they’ll make the whole team.
It’s not a kickstarter, it’s Takara - go big or go home.

Oh wow, that kickstarter line made me laugh so hard.

I think all the beast machine vehicons are underrated, especially the drones.

Indeed. It's a pity that I don't think either the Beast Wars Fuzors nor the BM Vehicons sub-lines will ever get any future recognition.

I could see a new Silverbolt figure being made as he was in both shows, a cool character and at least one of his toys pretty flawed to say the least
A new BM Scavenger would be awesome to me, too.

For a moment, I was confused which Silverbolt you were referring to...

Wow I do wonder sometimes how some of these Transformers even make it past prototype, let alone QA

Also, shade thrown at Optimus Minor! Although the link is dead, he remains a cult favourite among the BW line, it seems

I dont know why, he has the same lazy transformation as that poopy silverbolt. I remember getting him as a kid (for free) and being dissapointed in him as a beast wars figure.

I'd like all of those, please.

Damn, every day I regret the third-party combiners I bought more and more.

No-bot-ey should transform like that. Even if they transform into chest armor or whatever just please Primus no crotches or butts in faces.

That one stings too because I loved the BW Silverbolt. BM Silverbolt just looks like a, well, a neon Bowel Movement.

Silverbolt deserved better then that in Beast Machines (though I love the jetstorm toys)

Also, I love Optimus Minor, that is all.

Also, no matter what they say, BM Silverbolts alt-mode is a Turkey..
