It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone

He'll never get it, the armada prime we saw at ths Japan show was just a test, it's been shelved.

Was that confirmed to be a MP prototype?

Pretty sure Takara said that it was just a prototype for any line, they just aren't sure what line to release it in. It's definitely not MP though. Maybe in 2023, we'll see a 20th anniversary line for Armada in the same way that Beast Wars in Kingdom to celebrate it's 25th this year

Such a great song

Looking at T-Wrecks, I don't see a lot of difference from Kingdom Megatron.

Wait, I thought Kingdom Dinobot sported no insignias on the toy, am I just blind?

Huh, I know the packaging has the Predacon symbol on top so I assumed it was on him as well but I don't see one either.

Mine doesn't have it either.

T-Wrecks looks cool, but I'm still hoping to score BW Megatron in the wild -- unfortunately, all I have been able to find here in Oregon are the Legends class figures, and one deluxe: Blackarachnia. All others I've obtained had to be online -- there was no way I was going to miss out on Dinobot!

oh, I did get lucky the other day finding Cyclonus though -- he looks great too. I am still hoping for more Beastly surprises....!

Man, T-Wrecks has a great looking dino mode, but wow that robot mode is boring.

No, but that's what Tulio is referring to. It was confirmed to not be an actual release though, just a prototype/test they wanted to share.

Wow...very underwhelmed. Nice homage and all, but damned if that isn't the most boring bot paint job ever. This is an easy pass. More for the rest of you.

But do you want it?

Honestly i do. I do have interest in T-wrecks as a character, and this i think is a good use of this mold. That being said, i also do not think i am willing to pay above normal retail price for t-wrecks.

I don't know if it will ever happen, but if I find a T-Wrecks or Beast Megs on clearance, I'd love to customise it into Beast Grimlock. I mean, his G1 self, but "biological".

Dinobot has a Predacon symbol on his box, but not on the toy.

T-Wrecks looks... interesting, maybe if I find him on clearance on the shelf. I'm more interested in Grimlock Dinobot.

You're the only one I know of who's found Cyclonus in a store... I haven't seen any Kingdom voyagers, saw Megatron once, and OP a few times the first times I saw figures from this line, but not in over a month or so.
I'm sure others are getting tired of me saying this, but I think Cyclonus is one of the very best figures that's been released recently... He's easily one of my very favorites in my collection.

I just opened my Leader Megatron from Hasbro Pulse today and good gravy is his transformation an absolute mess of panels that just refuse to stay in place. He's like the worst of the overengineered ROTF toys, and I say that as one who liked the ROTF toyline (the movie not so much). And that soft rubbery plastic is SO going to dry out and wither away that it's practically on borrowed time right out of the box.

After experiencing that awfulness, and coupled with the fact that this new T-Wrecks toy has downright butchered the original toy's deco, I may just track down a vintage T-Wrecks in direct protest of this new one, just like when I went straight to eBay and bought a Legends LG15 Nightbird Shadow when Selects Nightbird was first unveiled as a retool of Siege Chromia (another mold I loathe).

After all, in all of his fictional appearances, T-Wrecks was drawn toy-accurately with the battle mask halves on his head and the tail claw as his actual arm in lieu of a normal hand, so this new one is even less accurate in that regard.

Yeah that rubbery plastic is 1 of the big reasons I passed on leader Megatron at full price. At a discount I may get him, but the $50 I saved on him is going towards MP Beast Megatron, even though I have my reservations regarding that figure as well.

If anything, I'm gonna put Megatron back in his robot mode and may never transform him into his garbage beast mode again. At least the robot mode is somewhat nice, but I was also disappointed to learn that his tail weapon is permanently affixed to his arm and cannot be removed as a separate accessory. Another knock against this figure.

Nice for those who are into the character, but for me this is an easy pass. Less money and less stress to hunt for.

I know T-Wrecks is the latest (definitely not greatest) news, but have people seen this Galvatron pic? I was definitely skipping until I saw the thing they did with his shoulders.

It's not perfect, but much better than the official transformation.

In the third party forums XD

On a more related note, I didn't realise dinobot doesn't have a Predacon symbol those Maximal still not letting him be his true self all these years on.

Leader beast Megs was a charm to transform and his panels were easy and smooth to align. Am I the only one whose Megatron is perfect, or am I a transformation genius?
I also do love his "skin". I just hope that it's not a material that will "sweat" oil over time.
