I just got my convoy and megatron pair...and WOW! These guys are gigantic. They are packed so full of cool gimmicks that its hard to put them down. I think these are the largest forms of these figures I have seen. Heres a review I found on these figures as well. GET THESE!

More cartoon accurate body scult, it is pretty much the same release as the BW reborn set except this megs has a grimace instead of a smirk.

Same with prime, same as the reborn set cept he has the face shield.

Oh and they both have those silly mutant mask things.

i doubt if they ever changed the original 1996 mold with this release at all. for all i know these releases were just metallic (and show-accurate in a way) repaints of the original Ultra-class releases. the remolded figures were the Beast Wars Reborn 2-packs (Takara and Hasbro) versions released last year.

:MAX:

these are the original releases just repainted. Primal looks sweet. and he'll be arriving here in about 3 hours :grin:

As Zemper and RodimusConvoy said, the molds are exactly the same as the originals. It's interesting that these have actually taken a step back from show accuracy, as the 10th Anniversary releases last year are, arguably, the most show-accurate versions out there (look them up in Seibertron's Galleries--there are comparison shots with the original molds).

Except for the fact that these are shinier, I prefer the 10th Anniversary ones, especially since Primal has his split-faceplate and chest-plate, and Megatron doesn't have the bat-wings/mutant-mask sticking out of his head.

I stand corrected, I thought I saw the updated chestplate on this primal. :-?
