Chaotic Predacon rebel whose only goal is to scour the Earth clean of the Autobots®*!
Autobots beware, because this Lazerback figure is looking for a fight! This powerful robot comes with a missile-firing Toxic Strike Blaster that launches major destruction at the Autobots! When the battle calls for beast power, convert him to dragon mode, where his tail becomes a deadly whip. Keep converting him back and forth so his Autobot enemies can’t keep up!

I was just thinking the same thing. I had hoped we were past that after all this time.

The retooled versions of the non-Predacon TFs make me think of all those strange varieties of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I had as a kid.

They need new Autobots. I'm starting to get annoyed by 6 million decepticons against 5 Autobots......ANYHOW, sorry about that little rant. Back on topic.

Ah, the "why is it always Earth" argument. I quite like the ep whee Alpha Trion said " i saw you were going to be there, so I sent all of our junk there first for ya."
Froma storyline standpoint, they couldn't do it on Cybertron, there's no one on Cybertron now. Its dead. megsy really doesn't care about his homeworld now, since he just used it to villify Optimus Prime for destroying it. Also, there's this great big smoking artificql Butte that used to be the Autobots' base and housed the space bridge thingy that lets them get off the Earth. They went back to stop Megatron from destroying the Earth, which I quite appreciaite since the little blue marble hS been my home for twenty years, and then he blew up their only way of leaving.
What? Wheeljack's ship? We do remember the scene of Prime rather objectionally crammed into the too small cockpit, right? Fit inside six Autobots will not, and i doubt Wheeljack will plY Taxi and run them one at a time.
I don't think this will be more than a one-season subline though, either. Three tends to be the run for Hasbro.

Thanks for the clarification. 6 million Decepticons against SEVEN Autobots. Oh, yeah, you sure showed him.
...so, the rally car with all the race markings is the designated STEALTH warrior. I can't be the only one who saw that and laughed.

I wasn't trying to "show" him anything. 6 million Decepticons agaisnt 5 Autobots isn't accurate. Besides, the "6 million" are a bunch of cannon fodders that aren't even worth a damn anymore. They're getting weaker as the series progresses.

Bee looks even worse than his PRID toy, which is an amazing feat considering how bad the latter was.
Lazerback looks interesting, but the rest is pure meh.

Just because Ravage got a toy doesn't mean he's getting a spot in the show.

You can put Ravage in there instead now.

I don't think the mold was bad, just the yellow on yellow with yellow highlights make it kind of bland. But the HotShot repaint is actually pretty cool, and is the one I own. He gets quite a few more paint apps than BB and a new head
I wasn't planning on getting another Wheeljack repaint, but this retool looks good enough to get.

Ravage actually fits in there? I wonder how they managed that.
My only problem with PRID deluxe Bee is that flap behind his head--I just don't like it. I've heard he has issues with his shoulders due to the Revealer gimmick as well, but I can't be sure as I didn't buy the toy.

It looks like his legs spread out like a cat laying on your chest spread eagle.

Yeah ravage is right there in the package you can see him to the left of Soundwave, though he's brown.
As for the Bee mold, yes the shoulders are a little hindered I wont lie there, and the back panel, well nothing you can do there.
I still like Hotshot though.

Does that say more about me or the state of Beast Hunter deluxes?

Not wrong at all. Even RiD BB is starting to look good.

The only reason I can see for these Beast Hunter redesigns is that its easier to retrofit the CGI models and introduce a small number of new characters than it is to bring in a larger number of new characters.

What I really want is that Leader/Weaponizer Predaking.
The others, really not fussed.
