Got that right. Still, it's unfortunate that he's less show-accurate this time around, despite using that head and chest.

Hold up... wasn't Primal supposed to use the smaller Deluxe-ish version of the mold?

Nope. Original pics were of the Ultra.

Huh. Could've sworn it was the Deluxe.

I don't hide the fact I'm not a fan of beast wars but I have to agree that Primal toy is fantastic. It does so much in a relatively small space.

I have the DX version and it´s just wonderful; any chance to get this mold is a good chance. The DX T-Rex Megatron is also outstanding.

I own the Ultra-class Telemocha redecos. I love having the exact same molds that were available in the 90´s but with more show accurate paint jobs.

The primary difference between Robot Masters and Beast Wars Reborn Convoys is in the hands. The larger original has closed fists, while the smaller remake has open hands:

I think he means the Deluxe sized one that was released under the Cybertron banner.

But that one isn't a "smaller Deluxe-ish version of the [Ultra] mold".

Close enough no?

Had they included those, they would have been the numero uno perfect versions of those molds.

The stock photos are very accurate, but they don´t capture the shiny effect of the silver on the limbs and the blue on the head of Primal, they really make the toy stand out in the shelf, despite all the black. Megatron is just great, the beast mode eyes pop up beautifully and it can scare you at times, he looks evil.

I tried to take a few pics but they didn´t come out too well.

Roadbuster btw is all sold out.

Based on the links and the contents of each item, this will sport a new plastic/paint apps but no decals (for Whirl and Roadbuster that is)

Yeah, these look close enough. I'm not that picky. Then again he did say he meant the Robot Master version so the point is moot.
