Oh right. I go by their Facebook updates. On Sunday they said end of November.
But then are Hasbro still distributing stock this month? Everything might slip now.

Who knows. I'm still waiting on the RED figures that were meant to be out in September. Things are in flux still.

I cannot tolerate a repeat of 2020 with these guys.
Where everyone in the world has these but eight months later hasbro still hasn't released them.
Itcs tolorable when it's a buncha nobodies like airwave, runamuck and fasttrack.
But I can't do it with beast wars

He looks better than the other one. He's got a head like an Ice Warrior.

This is really, really making me want a leader class Transmetal Megatron. |

So like if BW doesn't end with Kingdom, it'd be interesting to see how they play with size pricepoint.
BW show characters alone offer every pricepoint except Titan.
Deluxe:
ยท Tarantulas
ยท TM Tarantulas
ยท TM Rattrap (small or core)
ยท TM Cheetor
ยท TM2 Cheetor
ยท TM2 Blackarachnia
ยท Ravage
ยท Quickstrike (small or core)
Voyager:
ยท Inferno
ยท Silverbolt
ยท TM Optimus Primal
ยท Dinobot II
ยท Terrorsaur (small)
Leader:
ยท TM Megatron
ยท Depth Charge (or commander to cover the wings)
ยท Rampage
ยท Tigerhawk
Commander:
ยท TM2 Megatron
ยท Optimal Optimus
There's still a lot left to milk from the show alone.

I think it will be super sized, fully articulated and detailed versions of ALL the Botbots.
They will be old classics by then, so they need to be redone.
They also need to perform the functions of their altmode - so if it's a phone - it needs to work, if it's a TV - it needs to play Carol Kirkwood weather reports, if it's a rubber duck - it need's to float, if it's a cake - it needs to be edible etc.

Why is Megatron so much larger then Primal? The originals are the same size. |

Post by Toph on Nov 10, 2020 18:30:25 GMT
Because these are based on the show, and Megatron was quite a bit larger than Optimus.

Masterpiece chooses the show scale, as well. This isn't the show's chart but it's really close:    |

Yikes. Primal's tiny! Well I never. He's really not though. Not in terms of the toys seen here, or fictionally. As toys, cheetor is the size of Siege Optimus, and BA is the size of a deluxe. In fiction, while we've never seen a 1:1, Cheetor and BA seem likely to be average human sized, which would put Optimus at tge size of a small sasquatch- seven or eight feet tall. That said, the show often exaggerated Dinobot's size for dramatic and artistic purposes, and I think Takara pushed the MP's sizes for both him and Megatron (and now it seems Tigatron), a bit to the extreme size. |

I would love for them to finally do an easily-available, affordable BW Ravage. That would be fantastic. And it would, inevitably be an Amazon Japan exclusive. Or something. Because. |

So remind me when these are due again? In Demand says January, Zavvi says March, but we're getting all these reviews, so... sooner?

I'd been thinking it was end of Feb ish but the packaged samples is making me think they should be here sooner..... in which case my bank balance may be in trouble. I've got the w1 set on order from Kapow so need to wait for everything to be in stock. Regular readers may remember the fun and games with the POTP w1 set being delayed by the Leaders.... |

Kapow said Hasbro are still expecting them end of November.. which is not ideal for the christmas wallet.
