What? This isn't a G2 figure.

Uh, Diaclone and New Microman: Micro Change both began in the 1980s, not the 1970s.
Okay, Saber, it's starting to feel like trolling. Though, I'm sure your not.
You're corrections are unnecessary & frivolous. Also, you've missed some things, & your constant correcting me in our fun/nerdy arguments are beginning to tax my nerves
.
You're like my best friend, [whose a "brony"], a very well educated, knowledgeable, compassionate, and cool, [a great man - and human being], yet, annoyingly given to missing some things, and correcting other things that don't need correcting.
In context of my statement, about witnessing how far Transformers have come, by looking at this great example from '2nd, comparing it to the past toys, [G2], & today's toys, my statement was NOT off topic. I was commenting on how this BW2 or "Beast Wars Second" figure, was cool at original release, a full decade ago. Yet it looks dated today. [Look at the waist/hip ball joints]. The product has advanced since. Considering this figure is still cool, that says a lot of positive things.
By the way, BW2 is an acronym, while Beast-2 & Beast Wars 2 are shorthand for "Beast Wars Second (2nd)". [ Of course the 2 or three websites, {arguably minor now}, that used such shorthand/acronyms, sadly, are long extinct. 
] Also, as an anime fan, I was watching bootlegs of that anime on VHS a decade ago, so I know what it's called.As for "Diaclone", I was making an inside joke & at the same time commenting about the 70's myth, which you, as an insider should've picked up on,
[slaps your wrist] , especially since I posted this article in another thread not that long ago:
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Misconceptions_and_urban_legends_about_TransformersSome Microchange-derived toys have the text "©1974 TAKARA" stamped on them, and as a result are occasionally sold on eBay with descriptions such as "original 1974 Ravage". However, the date 1974 refers to the introduction of the original Microman franchise due to the way Japanese IP law worked at the time; the first Microchange toys weren't even designed until the early 1980s.
I look at what Hasbro/Takara did by repackaging all these toys, just as legal conditions were "optimal"
, then backing it with a cartoon, as brilliant. "Transformers
: More Than Meets The Eye" series, has enriched my life sense I was a child & I sincerely thank these companies for it. Takara & Hasbro each have their faults, & I care enough to criticize each when they do stupid stuff, & also praise them for when they do good.
Take this as both a compliment, [by comparing you to my true friend], & as a rebuke from a friend...
"...is better than the compliment of a fool." ...WAIT!
