Vwat?! And the figure can still carry it?

Well, it can easily grip the handle, but the chain is long enough to let the flail itself rest of the ground. You can make the figure sort of grab the chain near the flail, but there's nothing to make it actually grip the chain, so you'd have to fiddle it a bit to make the flail stay put without it succumbing to gravity.fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The flail by itself is even heavier than the whole MP figure!

EDIT: Just gave it another try. The figure can grip the handle in one hand, grab the chain near the flail in the other hand, and keep the flail off the ground with just the right amount of balance and angle in positioning the figure's legs, feet, arms, and hands.
He's out of scale with Rhinox and Rattrap. He's taller than Rhinox when the former was taller than the latter in the show. And since Rattrap is just way too tall for his own good, the only Season 1 Primal toy that that Rattrap scales well with is the original 1996 Ultra mold that towers over all the other cartoon Maximal toys.Kurona wrote:How does he look next to and scale with the Thrilling 30 Rhinox and Rattrap?

Nah, Rattrap was smaller than that in the show.william-james88 wrote:Kurona wrote:How does he look next to and scale with the Thrilling 30 Rhinox and Rattrap? (and, I suppose, Waspinator)
He`s a bit too big next to Rhinox and Waspinator but the right size for Rattrap

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
What the heckin? I reiterate what Cobs says. Why'd you decide to go the MP route as opposed to the original mold? The MP is do die for, but the OG is like... the difference between a black tie affair... and a house party where you end up playing Cards Against HumanityCobotron wrote:Whoa! Nice dude.

Well then. I have no doubt you'll enjoy Black Tie Primal anywaysbodrock wrote:I hear ya, guys! I hadn't planned on the MP at all....but then I got to thinking about how the only thing I wanted from the upcoming PotP incarnation was the original Optimus Primal. So I thought about the original toy, but then came across a reasonably priced MP32 that was $20 more than PotP Optimal would be at MSRP -- so I just went for it.
This should conclude my Beast Hunt -- unless there's an MP BW Megatron.

MP Megatron is supposedly an announcement for this year. BW MP's got me back into collecting. As I had no real interest in the rest of the G1 MP line, bar Soundwave. So far just MP Primal and Cheetor (with his creepy hands) with MP Dinobot on the pre-order.
Considering I prefer Decepticons/Predacons it's weird that I actually picked most of the Primals first time round: Bat, Munky, TM, Beast Machines version one.
bodrock wrote:I hear ya on the 'Con love -- it was odd for me and BW. I actually really liked the Maximals initially, but the Predacons eventually grew on me; especially Tarantulas & Waspinator. Rogue Megatron was awesome from the get-go, yessssss....
And he's rumored for this year?! Nooooo lol

The only incarnation I have of Rogue Megatron (as I call him, since he ain't G1 Megatron!) is the Takara Beast Wars Returns MegaHead. I do need a Beast version of him, so we shall see....
Yeah, the 10th Anniversary Deluxe is a neat figure, though, chronologically-speaking, that toy is Primal's seventh body.SureShot18 wrote:The revival of this thread just reminds me that I need to pickup an MP Primal at some point. Until then, the 10th anniversary repaint/remold will do just fine.
Yes, the only one you have just happens to be one of the rarest and hardest-to-come-by Megatron toys of all time. Such a pity.bodrock wrote:The only incarnation I have of Rogue Megatron (as I call him, since he ain't G1 Megatron!) is the Takara Beast Wars Returns MegaHead.
That was "Chain of Command", not "The Probe".AllNewSuperRobot wrote:The moment that sold me was in The Probe. Wherein Waspinator tried to ambush a distracted Rhinox. Who up until that point had only been seen using Cheetor's Gut Gun, catches his reflection and unloads THE CHAINGUN OF DOOM on Waspinator.. WOW
