Listings for 2022 Legacy and Studio Series Lines include Dragon Megatron, Tarantulas and More

Several of the names and sizes are puzzling for sure. Does TF7 Wheelie pretty much confirm he will be in Rise of the Beasts? Will it be a new character homaging annoying TFTM Wheelie, or Perverted Tom Kenney ( which I guess would be a Decepticon in the 90s?) Wheelie?

Also I agree with others with my bewilderment with Core Class. I mean Rattrap and the 2 skeleton Dino's (since they have no previous fiction), could work in continuity, and I get the OG characters are nice to have a more budget friendly version for parents to get for kids (that is out of continuity), but to start doing core class for SS86 is definitely a nonsensical decision to me.

So new Stunticons are pretty much confirmed... They'd better be toy-accurate compared to the CW ones, and be compatible with CW and PotP

My current theory is that "Energon Monsters" are Core class Weaponisers / Battlemasters / Armour. We know there's a Pretender homage in Legacy so this will probably that. I'm betting they'll be transparent "energon" figures of the Pretender shells that can be taken apart and put on Deluxe figures. There's also rumours of "Energon Hunters" which I'm guessing are the Autobot pretender shells.

If the Decepticon shells are relegated to Core class exclusivity while the Autobots get Deluxe+ I will be incredibly pissed. Autobot Pretenders are incredibly worse than Decepticon Pretenders.

They're just coping

They had better look, perform, and BE exactly the way I imagine them!

Tarantulas, Inferno and Dragon Megatron? A Bulkhead? YESSSS!

Dragstrip feels a bit odd since Combiner Wars was just five years or so ago. I hope he's compatible with previous combiners, it'd be very stupid if he wasn't.

This makes more sense…
I could see Rewind to battle Rumble. & Blaster has pretty much been confirmed.

I’m so anxious to see what the combining system is…
It would be nice if it’s the same as CW. As long as size matches well, I could see people getting new figures they feel have been improved enough.
IF it’s a new system, I’m betting more combiners will be on the way;
Hastak is going to cash in on that new engineering.

I am curious how it will scale though, because the existing Lazerbeak, which is properly scaled, is really tiny.

Overall though, really pumped we’re getting SS core class!

Right? It's probably going to mostly be Blaster cassettes, but I hope this means we might get Frenzy and some appliance bots down the line. Or Dispensor!

Also, I just noticed that Core class Ratchet is probably going to be the first G1 styled Ratchet that's not an exclusive in like a decade, right?

Nemesis Reformatted wrote:Inferno & Cybershark are my favorite Beast Wars characters. I hope they make Inferno & I have no hope of anybody even remembering Cybershark exists.

Nobody cares about characters that didn't appear in the show.

I absolutely adore Cybershark! The hammerhead not the transmetal version that was repainted into Sky Byte. The torpedoes that shoot out of his chest, the switchblade tail, the hammer that can double as a projectile as well, his jack o Lantern looking head. And the hammerhead alt mode is awesome! I still have my Cybershark but an update would be so awesome
