Impossible. No. Has to be fake.
From a pure silhouette standpoint this is looking wonderful. I hope we get to see the prototype soon enough; I don't think there was much between Inferno's silhouette and prototype being shown, was there? Like a month or something?
What's interesting to me is that Cheetor and Inferno are being revealed roundabout the same time. Is it possible that the Beast Wars masterpieces are then being worked on alongside the G1 guys rather than instead; much like how Star Saber was developed?

Joke! Wished it was old rubber ducky first so King Kong and Godzilla would duke it out. At least Primal will have a kid bother to play with.
ETA June 2017?

I will say though that i very much appreciate the Beast Era MP possibilities and am definitely excited to see how the MP Beast era figures play out if they carry on further with that aesthetic.
I'll even pick up one or two if they are done proper and produce designs and characters i like.

Also, I think that silhouette is taken straight from the show. I mean, the beast mode is clearly taken from packaging art, so it'd be weird to have a silhouette of the toy in one mode and a silhouette of art of the toy in another.

Thank you for recognizing this. The more people understand that these silhouettes aren't of the toy, the less misinformation is spread.Kurona wrote:Also, I think that silhouette is taken straight from the show.

I've been looking around trying to find the original non-blackened version of the robot mode image and the closest I can find is the pose Cheetor makes at the end of his stock footage beast-to-robot transformation sequence, only mirrored and at different angles than the one seen in this silhouette.

Oh well, here's hoping that all those Japanese Beast Wars fans are still as excited and dedicated to collecting the Beast Wars as I am and Takara just can't produce enough Primals, Cheetors and any other BW characters they decide to give the MP treatment to so that they lock in plans to go ahead with the full line (all of season 1, all of season 2/3 (Transmetals, TMIIs etc.) and give us hardcore Beast Wars fans/collectors what we've been dreaming of for so long (especially after the decent, though not perfect teases we got with Generations Rhinox and Waspinator, not to mention Tankor and Legends Blackarachnia): full on perfect show/CG accurate versions of the full Beast Wars cast from all seasons. At least for the US series, though I'd totally be down with buying me some Japanese Beast Wars MPs as well (Lio Convoy, Big Convoy, Longrack, heck, pretty much all of the unique/exclusive BW Neo characters would be good).

Hopefully that means that Takara's decided to push forward with a full line of MPs dedicated to the Beast Wars. Based on that post about them waiting to see how Primal does would seem to indicate otherwise though unfortunately.

I loves me some Magmatron, and having an MP version would be amazing. I still plan to create a custom pre-Earth mode Magmatron (from the comics) at some point. I've been looking at FansProject's upcoming Dia-Battles figure as well as the official MP version Takara's coming out with, though I haven't quite decided which one works best for Magmatron yet as they both have their high points and faults with regards to how much they look like his pre-Earth form from the comics (either way, some modding in addition to paint work will be involved).
