It looks nice, and I hope this is hinting to a new Dinobot toy, among others. But I don;t know that it is enough better that the 20th anniversary one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KXQJL06/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=seibertron07-20&colid=1EKATWECPFBWV&coliid=I2ZU54O4EX6Y5L&ref_=gl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl&linkCode=sl1&linkId=4feed164537a13aa4f8244936814b3a5

That's the problem with most beast wars figures. Most of them are already pretty great. Anything past the first year like Transmetals and fuzors and after are already close to their cartoon models. Looks amazing though and by it's not a licensed vehicle so we should get him in the states

All I'm waiting for is a preorder listing. It's the coolest thing coming up in my opinion but until I can reserve one it's backburner.

Just you wait, this won't be imported due to a claim by the WWF saying they don't want gorillas associated with "war toys".

Are we sure that was the right video? There weren't any shots of the colored toy in it, only gray prototype shots.
Though, I gotta say, Dinobot's Japanese voice sounds oddly fitting despite sounding a little dumber and more thuggish.

Gotta wonder, as easy as it would be to design a megs, I wonder how TT would approach his back kibble shrinking as much as it does
Would they use panels that collapse inward and make it thicker? The Cybertron version got by this with clever shoulder pads, wonder if TT would emulate that

It's of its own class. But comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges

It's the second release Japanese version of the figure, which had tan skin with brown stripes, a brown helmet, and red robot eyes, instead of the pink skin with black stripes, black helmet, and yellow eyes the Hasbro version had (the first run Japanese release was identical to the Hasbro version).Megatronformayor wrote:Is it just me or dose that Dinobot have a different color than the original.

If by original you mean the 1996 Hasbro Dinobot, then yes. The Dinobot pictured is the Takara Dinobot which was lighter in color than the Hasbro one.

Well Takara did work miracles when they engineered SkyByte, reducing the amount of back kibble considrably. They could do something similar with Megatron.
