He could stand to be more show-accurate. A LOT more show-accurate.MINDVVIPE wrote:These sound great, but I really think there isn't too much you could improve on beast machines tankor, other than making him more stable, and maybe a little better propotioned in the arms.
Shadowman wrote:This is Sabrblade we're talking about. His ability to store trivial information about TV shows is downright superhuman.
Caelus wrote:My wife pointed out something interesting about the prehistoric Predacons. I said that everyone was complaining because transforming for them mostly consisted of them just standing up-right. She essentially said, 'So? That's what our ancestors did.'
Here's something you might enjoy: Rhinox killing Universe Tankor.Bumblevivisector wrote:As someone pointed out when this rumor surfaced, doing a toy of BM Tankor could confirm him as separate from Rhinox in IDW continuity. I say good riddance to their being the same guy, and look forward to the day when Thrustinator is the only lingering casualty of BM's rancid character-gutting (because he actually is kinda' funny, and some scars shouldn't heal).
Well, back in the pre-Fun Pub days, 3H did repurpose the original Tankor toy as a drone army for Quake:Bumblevivisector wrote:Second, in my experience, the first Vehicon toys have proven useful for one purpose: being repainted into the minty-green legions of the G2 Cybertronian army. A new Tankor opens the door to this being done officially, if FunPub ever does G2 Re-Redux. Okay, so maybe I'm the only one who wants that bad enough that I'd actually army-build, but more obscure s#!t's getting made these days.
I'd doubt it since the new Deluxes for Generations are smaller than the older ones. Warpath's too big to fit into the current packaging.Caelus wrote:Mulling over things... Deluxe Tankor = Generations Warpath w/ remolded head and Mechtech buzzsaw weapon recycled from DotM?

Have we seen pics of Rattrap and his accessories? Looking at the arsenal the new Skids comes with, I could realistically see Hasbro packing him with every conceivable weapon as an excuse to make the toy smaller; maybe even that rifle Dinobot used in Coming of the Fuzors.Caelus wrote:Also, for Deluxe Rattrap - a third party company needs to make his little explosives with magnets inside.

Otherwise, he's just a Quake Drone as he is.![]()
Unless you meant the smaller Tank Drone toy that was far more show-accurate, but needed to be a lot bigger.
Indeed. Of the two releases of that mold, the Beast Wars Returns version had the best deco.MINDVVIPE wrote:However, now that you mention it, I thought the smaller, show-accurate version was pretty sweet, and overall better looking.

Better get that energon ready since this Tankor toy's a Deluxe.Tronus_Rex wrote:A case of distilled mech-fluid, or, a bottle of Thundercracker Purple - Aged Blended radio-energon, says: Tankor's either a recolor of Shockwave from Prime with Tankor's head, or another Bludgeon retool.
But that was a Supreme class toy, not an Ultra.Tronus_Rex wrote:This and the King Kong sized Ultra - (disc-launching) Primal were the best things to come out of the line.

craggy wrote:if Tankor (not the Octane looking dude) is going to keep showing up, along with Rhinox, I'm going to keep pretending he's a reality jumping Renegade from GoBots, because that bloody name. Tankor.
Ratrap could be good, not sure about the other two. If Nightbeat is Geewunny enough I'll probably be happy with him.
Citation NeededTronus_Rex wrote:That observation is far more relevant than many realize as the Go-Bots were a creation of Tonka and then Hanna Barbara which developers at Hasbro/Tomy, & Mainframe Studios were influenced by. It led to the BM series TV show & toyline vehicon asthetic. They counted others influences as well, but that's another discussion for another day.

I can give a source for that claim.Tronus_Rex wrote:On another note, I am glad that I did not give fenrir72 a hard time for not being to find a reference for his claim about Transformer Prime developers plans to produce only enough for syndication. I was going to argue that 65 episodes is usually not enough for syndication, but network exec's have used shows with even less than 65 episodes before. Anyway, I won't give him a hard time now.
