I like Ratchet. On the fence with "Deadwing", and Skystalker is just boring. Robot head inside beast mode mouth? Really? Voltron pulls that off but skystalker.......ugh. PASS!

Wasn't Dreadwing killed by Megatron in the previous season? How did he make it into Beast Hunters?

Why does Ratchet keep getting worse every time we get a picture of him? Damn.

Yep.

But before anyone seriously makes that claim, the writers aren't reviving anyone. Skyquake and Dreadwing are dead and they're not coming back.

There's always Dark Energon. Megs has piles of the stuff just lying around.

Maybe Shockwave will experiment on the deceased Dreadwing and Cylas and revive them as loyal subordinates and then awaken the surprisingly still living Airachnid and form his own band of Decepticon usurpers.

...A man can dream.

beast hunters is kinda a hit or miss line..only a couple have caught my eye. >:oP

I have to admit, I've been poking a lot of fun at Chickenwing, but he really does look pretty interesting.

Ratchetbot II looks...worse. Every time I see it WORSE. Who thought that deco was okay!? :SICK:

It really could have been done well if they had gone all out on Dinobot II's deco, I think. Still weird, but it would have looked cohesive.

Skystalker at least has my favorite deco so far icyblues and whites mixed like that are always pleasing to my eyes. However, as with every single Predacon in the line, bar none, he has the same stupid, unimaginative transformation. Easy, easy pass. Plus, those wings look like they won't pose well and will just make it excessively topheavy.

Only interested in Skystalker atm.

News Credits: 3 · by **Manterax Prime** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 11:00 am

Well, to each his own. Personally, Ratchet is clearly the best of this wave. I find it hard to believe how anyone can like Skystalker. He doesn't even "transform". All you do is stand him up and open his dragon mouth.

Worst of the line, by far.

But his simple transformation is his charm. They don't all need to be Masterpiece grade, you know? Look at what happened with RotF Leader Prime :lol:

ROTF Leader Prime actually transformed. Skystalker doesn't......
