Lol, Optimus looks like he barely fits in the box.

..You had to go there, didn't you?

This design was so much better...

Looks like the weird ape monsters from Temple Run

EDIT

Some of the Maximals were cool, if weird- Blackarachnia, Night Viper, Skydive and Hammerstrike at the very least looked cool. I feel BM is a seriously underrated toyline; there was a lot of junk but also some really good figures. And the Vehicons as mentioned were really nice.

I also wish we'd get a new BM Cheetor figure that isn't a super-expensive MP, the "Xenomorph cat" look was really interesting IMO.

Personally I think Nightslash Cheetor isn't too bad as he is. He isn't accurate but he is the best BM Cheetor mold.

Wasnt the original similar to that? I remember it being the most G1 prime since G1 prime.

Hardly! Cybertron Prime is as far removed from the G1 design as it gets

But arent there even further removed designs in that very same trilogy he comes from?

And about BM, Allnewsuperrobot do you have nigjt viper? Thats a pretty incredible toy.

Wow, that's awesome!

Makes my lackluster base mode from CW Ultra Magnus even more lackluster :lol:

I like how well those Diaclone guys scale with the line, they seem just right, and that Cog battlesuit is really cool, especially with the cockpit attached ;)^

"Wrong Cheetor" is still my favorite BM Cheetor figure.

I'd love to see Warden remake this figure for Siege with some updated joints.

Why is he called wrong cheetor?

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Tue Feb 26, 2019 8:50 am

I had tried something similar with Magnus's trailer parts for the Micro Masters.

But that Diaclone mash-up is AWESOME! Especially using UM's robot core as a control tower incorporated into it.
Well "played" creative person who likes to play with toys! Whoever you are. ;)^

It's a funny story and probably why Hasbro should have watched Galoob a little closer when they made the Titanium line (I mean, aside from quality control issues).

From TFWiki:

This figure is the first transforming toy commemorating the Beast Machines story, designs, and faction symbols. According to Titanium Series concept designer Don Figueroa, making Titanium Cheetor use the BM body was his idea. It seems he was told simply to make "Cheetor", but his Hasbro supervisors never specified which Cheetor to make. Aaron Archer corroborated this, saying Hasbro had not meant to produce a Beast Machines figure: they had simply put Cheetor's name on a list, and the toy ended up being, as Archer put it, "the wrong one."

Snake Bots are typically a design I don't like. One mode or the other usually has to make big concessions to make the look viable.
Night Viper is definitely one of the better Maximals and boded far better than his counterpart in BW2/Neo, but I didn't like how his head sat in Bot Mode.

Question...Are the base modes for UM fan made, or actually part of the design?..., if they are designed, do they have compatibility with TR like the upcoming Omega Supreme?

Fan made, no compatibility. Other than possibly being able to add some parts onto a TR base using the 5mm posts and ports

Found out that the battlemaster effects can fit on some Iron Factory figures.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Kanrabat, we have word that popular Youtube creator Emgo316 has uploaded reviews for the upcoming Wave 2 Micromasters! The wave 2 Micromasters consist of the Spy Patrol, which is Laserbeak and Ravage, designed to act as shields/tapes while still fitting in voyager Soundwave's chest, and the Rescue Patrol, which features Red Heat and Stakeout, fresh off of his claim to fame from the acclaimed Sins of the Wreckers appearance. Ravage, Laserbeak, and Stakeout are new molds, though Stakeout shares engineering with Roadhandler, while Red Heat is a retool of Top Shot.

These upcoming Micromasters should be made available in the coming months at retail, and will sell for around $9.99. Check out the reviews below, and let us know what you think of these upcoming Micromasters in the comments section below! And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers news and galleries!

I don't know what counts as news anymore really...

I watched this video earlier today, and I could have sworn it was uploaded 1 or 2 days ago.

Yes it was news. We waited until the other Micromaster review was posted as well, since Emgo does do his reviews by class size back to back, so we could have the entirety of wave 2 in 1 story.
