New Beast Wars / Beast Machines Listings for Core Class in Legacy Line

*Tankor is the notable exception, since he was so much bigger than the other Vehicons and Maximals. His Generations Thrilling 30 Deluxe toy is pretty much already in scale with the Autobots and Decepticons.

I'm kidding about the pretool thing... I think.

Nah Beastwars/machines is already G1 (and G3, G4 and G0 hahaha) so they shouldnt mess with them as much as they did with the Prime figures in Legacy...maybe.

They already did. That's what Kingdom was about.

I do have a bit of a concern regarding the BM Maximals, namely that their Beast and Robot Modes share almost no details whatsoever in the show. Will they attempt replicating that, let alone at Core scale?

Also about the Shrapnel guns; I dont see any difference in left or right.

I don't know why you'd want just the cab when that trailer actually do something relevant contrary to Rodimus Prime. Especially because that super mode is freakishly awesome and iconic and it give Prime a fighting chance against Megatron.

I just dont care for the look of his super mode. Ever since I saw the prototype of this Optimus I was excited to use it as my main G1 Prime in a new body. To go against Super Megatron. Or at the very least, use it as my Nemesis, if theys ever release one. I really liked Armada as a whole, just not so much the look of his super mode. But the base Optimus is one of my fav looks for him, along with G2 lazer Prime. I do like the new G2 Prime, but its just barely not good enough to replace Earthrise one as my Prime. Now if it had bulkier arms, shoulder/missle-pod rotation and maybe better legs, yes.

I would not be buying Armada Prime as Armada Prime. Just like Im buying Armada Megatron to be used as Helex(since prolly never make him), or someone, cause I just really love that design, just not as my Megatron. So I have no need for Prime's super mode.(my collection is as a head-canon 4th season of Sunbow G1[with a tiny bit of IDW and Marvel jammed in]). Now as far as I remember Armada Nemesis Prime never used the super mode, correct? I am not sure if they do release just the cab as Nemesis, if it would even fit in a voyager or leader price point, or something in between.

In that case, skip the Legacy Armada Prime entirely and just get the old Bendy Prime. I wonder if that old "deluxe" is as big as the Legacy one?
If yes, you're set.

On the other hand, I'll always welcome the news of more Beast era toys, though hopefully we can get some more vehicons

It's been nearly three years since Tigatron, at this point. Sigh

Beast Wars MPs were a response to us not having anything to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars. As long as Legacy keeps giving us Beast Wars figures I doubt we'll see another MP.

They'd have to make a super-core Rattrap, then, but I'm fine with the 'modified' scale they have now. I want all my stuff to play in the same sandbox so to speak.

Wouldn't that be "sub-core"?
