Let's hope Megs don't have huge gaping holes in vehicle mode like for Optimus.

Interesting that they're giving Rhinox a big hammer and not his chainguns. Those are kind of iconic for him. Still a cool look for him, actually excited to see this movie.

Megs is amazingly good looking. Definitely picking him up on pre-order the he shows up. Also, the mace looks great.

Megatrons just money saved to me, so no complaints there. Hope he is good inhand for those that want him.

For me, the mainline Rhinox looks a bit better. Happy that we get 2 Generations styled versions so people can choose.
WFC Megatron looks awesome, will get.
As for the Leader class story, nah, Leaders cost 70 euro's now in Holland (72 usd). That's too much for an Ultra class figure. They aren't Leaders. Guys, Cybertron Optimus is about as big as War for Cybertron Commander Jetfire, and Cybertron Optimus is a Leader.
We are getting voyagers with a backpack > Leader. A voyager slightly bigger > Leader. It's getting a bit ridiculous in my opinion.
I hope we get a mainline Scourge so I can choose which version I like best.
Hyped for the movie, from what I see from the trailer it's just fun and respect for the fans.

Might get that one and pass him off as a transmetal rhinox or predacon rhinox. Or a post Beast machines rhinox with the memories of tankor idk

The new era of leaders started with Jetfire in the thrilling 30 line in 2014, so almost a decade ago. Did you find that toy to be leader class?

Yeah, those games deserves a solid remaster to be released on Steam.

I still have both for X-360.
But a PC remaster (that would not be a buggy mess) would give the chance to everyone who missed out.
And I may even buy them again.

True, it has been going downhill for quite some time. I consider to be honest that Jetfire (and seeker repaints / Ultra Magnus) large Ultra's more than Leaders. But Ultra was too close to Mega so they dropped it as a scale I think.
Armada Overload is that a Mega or an Ultra? I know Armada Jetfire was an Ultra and Armada Scavenger a Mega.
It's confusing

Overload was a Max-Con, but, strangely, his Energon redeco Ultra Magnus was sold as one size class higher in that line, right alongside Tidal Wave (who had previously been sold as a Giga-Con in the Armada line).noctorro wrote:Armada Overload is that a Mega or an Ultra?

Didn't Energon Magnus come with a set of 3 exclusive mini-cons as well? They were a repaint of the Requiem Blaster, I think. Wouldn't that be enough to bump up the price to the next class?Sabrblade wrote:Overload was a Max-Con, but, strangely, his Energon redeco Ultra Magnus was sold as one size class higher in that line, right alongside Tidal Wave (who had previously been sold as a Giga-Con in the Armada line).noctorro wrote:Armada Overload is that a Mega or an Ultra?

It sure is, or rather, Energon Ultra Magnus was bumped up a Class possibly to not to crowd the first Mega Class wave with Treadbolt and Ironhide, and to give Command Class which only had Tidal Wave a second figure (solid cases for anything lower than Leader was a no-go).

It’s actually the Takara version, which is kinda neat! Only difference is the box, but it’s still cool to compare to the regular Studio Series boxes.
Lockdown himself is great! The molded detail is especially good on this guy, and the gunmetal paint looks really nice too. There actually isn’t too much paint work I have to add for alt mode!
I wasn’t too sure if he used both these weapons at the same time in AOE, but I rewatched the final battle again, and he does!

Excelent choice of colors, black and neon never fails. Reminds me a bit of the Night Ops Ratchet repaint.

I really wish I had gotten more of his Shadow Raiders, I enjoy that mold, it turned out nice!
Also well done on your Ratchet. The green definitely pops with the NEST colors

I never saw Shadow Raider at retail, but I wish I had! They're real cool looking.
Thank you!

*edit* NVM, rewatched the vid and there seems to be a tiny hinge for the tiny brown underside of the rhino mouth. So it probably can open. He's just got a tiny mouth now compared to his other counterparts.

According to The Low Road, it's not his mouth blast that you should be worried about

Transmetal Rhinox outclasses this toy in complexity.

It really is. Plus the odd decision to give them zero beast kibble in robot mode means they've all got pretty generic and boring silhouettes.

Not sure what you're referring to. Are you talking about the battle master Rhinox that splits it's ass open and transforms into a phallic gatling gun? Fear the ass?
