So is this a new mold? Or have I missed something? I thought TFCC always used exsisting toys.

-edit- Oh wait. This is not an exclusive. Derp.

Hehe, no it's not, but perhaps the club will eventually give us a Packrat using this mold

If Hasbro keeps up their penchant for making unlikely and obscure repaints/retools, I think this wouldn't be too difficult to retool into BW Snarl/Tasmanian Kidd/Bound Rogue other than the obvious Packrat repaint. The original figures share some design elements in their back kibble and overall look of their beast modes. It's just something they could consider to get some more use out of this mold. :MAXIMAL:

Perhaps, but I'm still waiting on the inevitable Masterpiece Transmetal II Spittor

Glad to see this, he looks great ! Ratrap is my favorite Beast Wars character because out of the original Season one cast, he is the only character that isn't a reboot of a G1 character. He has a unique personality of his own.

Optimus Primal - Optimus Prime (Duh)

Rhinkx - Ratchet (boring medic)

Cheetor - Hot Rod (young upstart)

Dinobot - Starscream (Imfamous traitor - seeks leadership)

Megatron - Megatron (duh)

Scorponok - Soundwave (Loyal to megratron)

Terrasaur - Another version of Starscream

Taruntalas - Shockwave (scientist with his own lair)

Waspinator - ??? (Ok his personality is unique as well)

If Hasbro is so hell bent on doing beastformers, why not do the rest of the Classics Dinobots?

Rhinox wasn't a medic. That's what the CR Chambers were for.

Rhinox was a very unique a character, being like a mix of so many different G1 characters put together. He had Ironhide's durability, Brawn's strength, Ratchet's resourcefulness, Wheeljack's technical know-how, Omega Supreme's wisdom and might, Beachcomber's spirituality, Springer's courage, Kup's mentoring aura, Ultra Magnus's sub-commander leadership skills, Bumblebee's kindness, Perceptor's knowledge, and enough firepower to suit the needs of all the Wreckers put together.

this nicely fills a hole in my collection -i didn't have a pre transmetal rat trap i had the rest of the axelon crew but not him -hopefully we will also see other mc beast wars caracters with more accurate designs-to the show i would like to see terrorsaur and scorpinox and a nice black archnia as all 3 toys were either small repaints that didn't fit or not that great because of gimicks

I suspect they are scared to do the rest of the Dinobots in MP scale because Grimlock wasnt based on their latest choice of scales. Why they wont do them voyager scale is beyond me ?

We already have Generations Grimlock in the form of FoC Grimlock, and if they were to make the other Dinobots as part of the Generations line, I would assume they'd use FoC or IDW designs, and that the other dinobots would be Deluxes, not Voyagers, to keep them in scale with Grimlock.

At least Swoop, Snarl, and Sl(a/u)g should be Deluxes, and Sludge be a Voyager that's slightly shorter than Grimlock.

Manterax isn't the one trolling; he's the one who fed the troll. The troll is the one who came into a thread where everyone was being positive, said "well thats disappointing" and left.

That is friggin' awesome. =P~

Hasbro and Takara are really knocking these Beast Wars figures out of the park. I would pay nearly any amount if they were to do all of the original fourteen Beast Wars characters.

Please, Hasbro. Please. :PRAY:

Almost perfect, so awesome!

That's three not MPs I'm getting.

This Rattrap looks good. If it turns out to be a spectacular deluxe. Then I just might buy him to go nicely with my beast wars Buzzsaw because I don't have and deluxe beast good guy in my entire collection, mainly because I don't like any that's out. But overall, a rat transformer is a win if done rite. And his robot mode looks much better than that new voyager Rinox.

I believe you meant to say "Hasbro is" but ended up putting "and Takara are". Takara has yet to put out an accurate Beast Wars paint job in the Generations line.
