Are you all sure you're Beast Wars fans?

I'm sure I'm probably not the person that was directed at, or going to guaranteed give you the response you're looking for, but I feel challenged now, so let's see:
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Frankly, if Cheetor is a Deluxe, Primal would kinda have to be a Voyager to be taller than him as is proper, wouldn't he? Plus the gorilla mode is bulky, and they'd need plastic for weapons...
Megs and Dinobot would likewise need to be Voyagers for scale (especially with the mass of their dinosaur tails factored in).
Well the leaks say Deluxe Cheetor, Voyager Primal and Dinobot, and Leader Megatron, so so far so good.

Cheetor might get a separate mold for his Transmetal bod if they go that far, but I don't think they'll do it for his regular one.
Yeah, I've already kind of accepted that that'll happen, but in a similar vein to your memories of Blackarachnia, I didn't remember Tigatron being as big as he was, so I'm cool with that.
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Rodimus Prime, there's a couple problems with what you said about Ravage. First, Ravage wasn't in
the finale

He was in a season finale, yes, but not the finale of the series.
More importantly, Ravage's body was an altered version of
Transmetal Cheetor's, so doing him from Cheetor would only make sense if they go as far as doing the Transmetals.
I don't think Roddy Prime was talking about the series finale specifically, since so far we only have concrete evidence of BW Season 1 characters anyway, and I think he was suggesting it as just a way to get the character in there and further the G1 character roster in the line. I could see a Selects/Netflix Ravage from Cheetor selling regardless of accuracy to the original show or not.
Also, considering the story/lore for this trilogy comes from a show based off nothing but the toys (since the comics and the show look to be too far apart to know if they're supposed to be 2 points in the same story yet, I feel), they could easily just justify it by having Ravage upgrade from cassette form to Cheetor repaint form in the show if they wanted, and then it would still be accurate to the actual story they're telling, regardless of it being BW-accurate (wonder when the novelty of typing THAT will wear off). This trilogy's (very loose) continuity already has a Cybertronian Nightbird, Battlemaster characters that weren't around in G1, Micromaster bases and citybot friends that have robot modes now, transforming Quintessons, and Barricade as a Datsun, why can't Ravage be a furry?

I would much rather we keep the character redos to a minimum, but I also had zero attachment to that duo, so I only bought Dreadwind and was fine with him using Aerialbot engineering. At least if they did those two again, that would be more money saved/spent on BW characters instead for me.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Rattrap.
