TRUKK NOT DRAGGON!

So I wonder if this will be a change that forces the writers to diddle with the plot (a la Transmetals) or if this will be toy line only.

Also, I wonder how this ties into Thundertron.

Looks kinda cool, but I was hoping for something that looked a lot more 'Beast Wars' and a lot less 'Beast Machines' or 'Cybertron'.

Still, Beastformers is Beastformers, so I'm in :).

Interesting..... I admit I'm a little apprehensive about returning to animal themed alt-modes, but hopefully Hasbro and Takara have learnt quite a bit in the last nearly two decades.

Isn't Beast Hunters meant to be taking the spotlight in PRIME season 3?

EDIT: Having looked at the close up photos pointed out by Sabrblade I'm impressed by it and already can't wait to not be able to find at retailer near me.

No idea. I've barely been following the cartoon, it bores me to tears. Anything that overhauls it is fine by me.

Meh, not impressed. But that goes for the whole line so far. BTW, who is that supposed to be?

A TFP leader class figure that isn't one of those crappy Weaponizers? And it's a dragon?! SO! MUCH! WANT!

TFormers claims it to be Predaking, but I'd consider that rumor for now until something more official turns up.

After getting Dreadwing, Knockout and Airachnid I am pretty underwhelmed with Prime toys. I'm interested but not hopeful. Fingers crossed this resembles something other than a pile of orange and black parts on release.

I pray that this is Scourge or Predaking (as the rumors say). :PRAY:

So the Beast Hunters thing was true. I knew it! MUAHHAHAHAAHAHAHA! Excellent!

I'm not sure what to make of it, but what I see looks pretty nifty.

It has visible head syndrome to the worst degree though!!

Great! Now you've made me want to see him teabag a fallen autobot, preferably Bumblebee, cuz he just need to die already.

I have a feeling the Beast Hunters toyline might take place similarly to Primus Unleashed from Cybertron.

Just an FYI, but Thylacine is attending the NYCC event on behalf of TFWiki.net, and got us that promo video! So he is not making things up or having pants that are on fire.

The latter group was invented in the books and there is "no strong driving force" to really explore them in toyline. Predawn faction will be a big deal with big merch push. Predaking himself pretty much confirmed at multiple sizes / pricepoints.

um, ok? and why could we not get a leader of megatron for almost 2 years? oh yea thats right bumble bee is taking his spot. I'm in to beast hunters as long as i get a damned insecticon toy, oh and i know how unlikely it is but a better arachnid toy.
