i didnt like him initially either. id say wait for the takara one, but who knows what theyre doing these days...Diem wrote:Personally this Shrapnel is a huge turn off. I am a huge fan of the original and this one utterly rubs me the wrong way. Not sure if it's the small head, the over-sized canary yellow chest panel or the shade of purple on the arms and feet. I'll still get him but articulation aside he feels like a downgrade from the original.
Seibertron wrote:I really like Skrapnel. The only issue I have with it is the yellow chest. I would've really like to have seen them do the translucent yellow chest that could fit a small energon cube. Something along those lines would've made me really pleased. I also understand why they didn't do that, because of costs, but it would've still been pretty cool. Other than that, I think this is a great update to one of my favorite G1 toys. Here's hoping Bombshell and Kickback get the same treatment.
Picture an Autobot or Decepticon standing in that image along with everybody else.Siger wrote:I like how Tankor is smaller than Rattrap. He would have been so much easier to defeat in beast machines at that size.
This must be the legion size Tankor because Rattrap is smaller than Tankor's foot LOLZ:
Rattrap? Approximate scale? The toy comes all the way up to Dinobot's chest!Noideaforaname wrote:They put all this love and effort into the Beast Wars gang --getting them in approximate scale, making them look awesome, designing Rattrap in a way that lets him stand up in rat mode-- but when they get to the Beast Machines guy it's like "whatevs, he's not orange-and-black this time, that's good enough."

Barely. He's taller than the Optimus Primal figure seen in the above pics.Noideaforaname wrote:"Approximate." Rattrap's still the short one.

All you have to do now is FIND them since no store that isn't online seems to be getting these in.Screaming_star91 wrote:Mindmaster wrote:If you think $10-15 (depending on where you live) is reasonable, yes.
Perfect (Dinobot & Rattrap were always my favorite BW's characters), that's just my price range. Thank you!

Siger wrote:Well yeah I already thought Rattrap was way too big and Tankor way too small from the first reveal pics. The rat mode was almost as big as Voyager Rhinox's rhino mode. Man that's a big scary rat! You are right about not needing a voyager size Tankor, or in fact anymore Tankors. It's not an interesting or a good looking TF overall. Why not a better Cheetor or a transmetal one first? Why not a new Dinobot to go along with the new movie Dinowave?
Seibertron wrote:I feel bad that everyone is hating on Tankor. I really like the toy! I think it's a great update to a character that really hasn't had a cartoon accurate toy before. Sure I'd love a Voyager, Ultra or Leader Class scaled Tankor but that's just not realistic. In the meantime I'll take this fantastic update that is very poseable and lots of fun. Kudos to Hasbro for keeping the fires lit for this character. Any time they'd like to throw Beast Machines Thrust and Jetstorm some Generations love, I'll be right there to support them. Deluxe Class and all!
