Huh, I'd skip on the Rattrap personally, but I've always wanted to get one of the two accurate Primals (The one being featured here and the Telemocha one)

Not sure where the red beast eyes are coming from (Call of the Wild? Just matching bot mode?), but the rest of Rattle's deco might be a bit more show-accurate. If Rattrap's case hadn't been split up for later and I had it in hand, I might be able to say for sure.
And his guns remain clear and unpaintable for this release too. Huh. This trend of softer plastic is really starting to concern me. Rhinox's butt was one thing, but it's starting to creep into places it needn't be.

awww. "Legends" made me think this might be a Legion/Cyberverse size line, and the BW bots would be great for that scale. if we'd gotten painted guns I'd probably be sold on Ratty, but as it is right now, I don't see it nice enough to pay the extra. Primal is ok, he's just Primal. But I'd like to see more from this line. I know it has potential, lad.

Well, looks like we have found the sequel to Japan's Generations, and the outlet for the current Generations

Optimus Primal is the one toy I am extremely annoyed I had given to my brother to play with. The gorilla face/chest panel has gone forever, as are most of the missiles and the mutant face. Everything else works perfectly fine, and he still resists on the shelf, but he's quite glaringly incomplete in both modes.
This might tempt me..

Sounds like this may be their new Generations line?
I'm not interested in either Rattrap or Primal (Got the TRU one a long time back with the accurate head and I'm happy with it). I am very interested to see where this goes from here.

Now, this is what I think of when I think of a 30th Anniversary line. "Thrilling 30" my ass! Not so thrilling when half of it is shitty repaints of crappy movie figures and a quarter of it is Asian market rereleases of the other quarter, which are impossible to get SDCC exclusives.
Unfortunately I don't see myself picking up either of these. The Rattrap, though more robot accurate, I think I prefer the Hasbro beast mode accurate one. And the Optimus is basically just a repaint of the 10th Anniversary remold of the original, which I already own both versions of. Would have preferred a new mold.
But I really hope they continue this trend and do more Beasties.

Takara, you're killing me here! I'm already having enough difficulty tracking down all your Telemocha figures and now you throw more new Beast Wars toys at me?! Have mercy, Takara! 
The previous Japanese Deluxe Primal toy is already in scale with the others.
What we need is a taller Dinobot.

I've fine with this Primal reissue. It's a great mold that still holds up well over 15 years later. I really doubt that the way Hasbro and Takara have been making figures lately they'd be able to top the original. Sure the gorilla mode is still a little wonky, but the updated bot mode really lets this figure shine.
Now if they wanted to make a bigger Transmetal Primal I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Really? It is!
I must be going deaf, it is the most accurate mold the paint job threw me off big time, even though it's not the show accurate paintjob I'm still getting it
