Where is he on the poster, could you point it out?

In the upper right corner above the "purple T-Rex".

I'm only about 80% sure that's a purple T-rex, how can you tell Terrorsour is there with him?

I pretty sure it's not terrorsaur only because he isn't in the toyline. Whatever is there in that blurry area can be anything, even bigfoot.

Bigfoot Transformer in Kingdom: confirmed

I want it.

How certain are leakers that he isn't in it? Has literally the entire line been exposed?

The better argument is that being on the poster, especially in a limited capacity, doesn't necessarily guarantee a toy. I recall there was a tiny Galvatron in Earthrise marketing. There's a weird kind of circular logic in all this speculation where leaks and marketing are used to prove or disprove the other.

But only if it comes with sock puppets and radio headphones accessories for Bigfoot to listen and dance to "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees.

The entire retail Wave 1-4 lineup has been exposed, as far as the leakers are aware. If Terrorsaur, Tarantulas, and Predacon Inferno are in the line, they're exclusives of some sort, which could potentially happen since Prowl and Ironhide are Earthrise exclusives and none of the leakers have seen any of the Kingdom exclusives or Selects yet.

Tonton has a video on what is apparently Kingdom Rattrap, somehow.

Greetings Seibertronians! We've got some exciting news for you all today as fellow Seibertron user, Omegatron, has let know that YouTube toy reviewer, TonTon Reviews has somehow gotten ahold of Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom Core Class Rattrap! He's made a short stop-motion video for everyone's favourite transforming rat.

Core Class is the name for the replacement of the Micromasters price point.

Here is some screen grabs:







We've embedded the video here for your convenience:



What do you think of this? Believe that it can be as it appears? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Damn, takara needs to hurry up and show MP Rattrap before it's the next year of the rat. Will be nice to see comparisions of Kingdom rattrap with the ikkle third party one.

Bonus points for Kingdom not having all four rat feet on his back and looking like a stuffed cat gyro copter.

*extra bonus points for what must be the smallest maximal insignia ever too.

I just submitted this video to news since I hadn't seen it front paged. Them after I hit submit the page refreshed and it was up already. oh well lol

On the figure side though. I am really not a fan of this, I think that I will be saving a lot of money this coming year if half the figures are BW. Does anyone else find it strange that we basically know of every figure that will be released in the kingdom line and ER has not even ended yet?

That looks pretty good! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the Beasts.

I did too, in the reviews section. oops oh well

To be fair, this isn't the first time it's happened. Titan's Returns and Power of the Primes was also heavy set with leaks. I did think they had a handle on it after PotP but looks like I was wrong.

Anyway, I'm loving Rattrap and if the rest of the bessts are just as well handled (assuming good QC) then I think its going to be quite a year for me.

I'm looking forward to a comparison between this and T30 Rattrap.

Okay, I’m impressed. I figured the Core class was going to be something naff like the Prime Masters on their own, but this Rattrap has me converted (lol, geddit). If this is any indication of how Kingdom will turn out I might actually go in for some of the line as opposed to the holes left like Inferno, Tracks, and the Minibots left.

For those curious:

Transformers Generations Rattrap Gallery

This is T30 Rattrap who would likely tower over Kingdom Rattrap

Looks pretty nice, especially for the size. T30 looks to be the better toy overall but this is like a third of the size, so oh well. Looks like he needs better paint though, IMO anyway.

Best Rattrap is still the Transmetal mold, AKA the Rat Rod.

What a shame.. to go from a great WFC line, with Siege and Earthrise, to this. This guy just looks cheap, and brings down the line overall. If they wanted another BW line, they should have kept it separate from WFC.

But they'll be making G1 toys in this size class too.

This video was fun to watch!

Rattrap looks pretty good. I want a more fun organic rat mode Rattrap, and this looks like the one! Crazy to think I'll have 3 Rattraps. he wasn't my favorite character, but he was still really good and enjoyable, so he is deserving of the 3 toys in my collection he'll have!

I'm also very appreciative of the smaller sizes. I've come to realize I am really good with the downsizing of the figures since more can fit on a shelf to make a better looking army, and it makes the bigger guys actually seem bigger. I'm cool with it!

I could not disagree more.

FINALLY adding Beast Wars? This is finally starting to put the "s" back in "Generations". The line should not be 95% G1 with a random callout or 2 thrown in. Make it like this, 50% G1/50% BW, and continue that diversity.

Transformers should be like Marvel Legends, and this is at long last a step in the right direction, a step that was made in Thrilling 30 and then stagnated, and now is finally headed that way again.

this is a legend class dude at legend class price, don't expect it to be perfect

I'm not expecting perfection by any means, but I think these will stick out like a sore thumb, not fitting in well with the rest of the WFC line

This Rattrap has already the advantage of not having rat ears obscuring his vision.

Really? For the size class I thought they did a bang up job!

I'll definitely be getting this.

Okay, I can't be the only one thinking this... but does it look like Mr Trap's rat mode has been sniffing some of the 'white stuff' ?
