Bonemode looks great, seems like they could be used with smaller toys like lego or playmobil as museum/possessed nightmares so more than a win. Will be intersting to see how the armoring up works and if the beastwars bots get any interaction with them.

A few days before the leak happened, I mentioned somewhere that I would love to see the return of toy only figures. Beast Wars had a ton of them and it was a large chunk of the toy line. The only thing is though, I mostly meant updates to guys like Wolfang, Polarclaw, Transquito, Bonecrusher, Manterror, Jetstorm and the rest. Wolfang in particular since he was supposed to be on the show but was switched out for Tigatron since he'd share his character model with Cheetor. Was there a Predacon equivalent that was swapped with Blackarachnia? I haven't read every wiki entry.
However to my surprise, they did do new toy only (presumably) characters. While not entirely what I meant, it's not entirely not what I meant at the same time. So I'm on board with this all the way. I complain about seeing the same characters over and over and over and over and over and over and over again from Hasbro and third party companies. I'm not going to go back on what I said now that I know they're only 50% of what I technically was asking for. New characters are awesome.
It would be best if everyone picked these up to show Hasbro that we want more than just rehashed characters over and over at retail. However I can definitely understand why people might not like or purchase the Fossilizers. That's fine too, I'll pick up some extra in your stead. I'l keep trying to combine them into different monstrosities like I do with the Weaponizers and Modulators. Who while not rehashed characters, were established ones for the most part whereas the Fossilizers are completely new for the moment.

or...they are getting fired... I'm sure they are hiring, but you'd have to live in Vietnam, and probably earn a fraction of whatever job you currently have.

Possibly. Or it's a variant colour?

I know someone who was in Vietnam last year, and they seemed tempted to stay. Cost of living seemed to be proportionate with income, and quality of life good. He'd be earn less in USD, yeah, but whether that would be a bad thing depends on his current job and COL.

The sculpting is from the prototype, the final release has some pieces dulled or otherwise changed:
Fossil Lord Prototype on Super Toy Archive
As for the colors, I'm leaning towards a reproduction based on that prototype.

There's still the two Core class ones, Dracodon and Vertebreak, to be hopeful for.Autobot N wrote:Odd that seemingly none of the Fossilizers will be Maximals.

AWESOME name that deserved proper reuse

He looks great in the good photos though.

I'm honestly really curious to see what that one turn into, just based off how great the name is.

Vertebreak...I have the one from PRIME,hollow muscle but still awesome with some kind of anti-air cannon.

Not odd at all. All dinosaurs were predacons on beast wars. You can have him switch sides if you want.

Also, it is kinda odd that part of him is a Maximal weapon, but he's a Predacon. Maybe the Netflix version of Optimus Primal shares personality traits with Movie Prime...

Autobot N wrote:I'm more thinking it's weird compared to the Modulators and Weaponizers, who had both factions but were good guys by majority. I suppose it's about time the bad guys got some reinforcements.
There is still plenty of time for some good guys. Keep in mind every weaponizer and modulator so far has been redecoed at least once. I expect the same for the fossilizers.

And it can actually serve as the mace head. Sneaky Hasbro. Making me buy a fossilizer to get Primal's complete accessories.
Makes me ant to see what Optimus Primal is going to look like in this line.

I really liked it, the concept of partsformer makes perfect sense in it because it is a skeleton, you can disassemble it and use it in a diorama. Very well sculpted and articulated. Even before seeing what will happen in the animation you can come up with interesting stories, he can be a "primordial Dinobot"

Which makes me think that these might be packaged in Alt Mode. Which would be the first time we have hat since the AOE toyline.

The Fossilizers are genius, a whole new play pattern that’s Beast Wars to boot? Plus we’re definitely getting a proper Galvatron? The good news just doesn’t stop. Combined with the guys from SS86 this is gonna be a good year for TF toys, even if the world stays sucky.

I think that would be a very smart move on Hasbro’s part.

I kind of miss that in general. I don't do much transforming of my figures. At least if they came in alt-mode, I'd have to do it at least once.
Then again, you have some extreme examples like MP-44. That was NOT fun to reconfigure. However, anything in Generations, especially Kingdom would be fine.

Honestly, for me, it was more fun taking a vehicle or animal and figuring out how to convert it to a robot. I've always sucked with the instructions, but going from alt to bot was something I could often times figure out on my own. Starting with the robot can sometimes be tricky, or painful, looking at your ER Doubledealer and your freaking knees.

Core Rattrap $9.99
Deluxe Cheetor $22.99
Voyager $29.99
Leader $49.99
While this price hike isn't fun, it could be worse, like the upcoming deluxe sized like Hot Rod being sold as a voyager for $29.99 over in the Studio Series 86 line.
