Because it's skeletal it looks quite Bayverse. I don't think I need bits of dead dinosaurs stuck to my robots. I can see me passing on these.

Whereas I am very much here for transforming dinosaur skeletons.

I am required by law to love Fossilizers because I apparently willed them into existence.
I've long wanted an extention of BW that used fossil armor.

I've not gotten into Modulisers, so I can take or leave them. I didn't bother with the Bases, but got one of each of the Gun guy molds.
Spoopy Halloween Bone armours? It could be good.

I'm still playing the long game with my mind, trying to sow the seeds that I do not need to buy into the beast stuff. If I say this ten times every morning while hitting myself with a birch tree branch I'm hoping next year will be a cheap one.

Whatever works for you.
I will probably pass on the new Beast Wars toys, purely because for some reason while I find BW toys in general clever I've never been hugely fussed about owning that many. I'm more into the cartoon.

And me, after nearly twenty years of G1 design sensibilities being the standard (UT, Classics-Generations), and influencing most of the other design sensibilities (Animated, Aligned, Cyberverse), I am very much down for a return to the aesthetics of the Beast Era.
I very much miss the asymmetry that we saw in Beast Wars through RiD. I'd love a few cars that have their bits in unusual places like Speedbreaker/Sideburn and Wildride/X-Brawn. Or beastformers that have their beast heads end up as their hands like Megatron and Guildart, or just in different places like LioConvoy or Longrack.
To be fair, we've gotten a few transformers with somewhat less traditional kibble placement through the years, but those are very rare.
While I'm over the moon that we're getting BW updates because BW is my jam, I'm also beyond excited that we're finally getting some new toys that don't follow G1 or Bayverse aesthetics.
The Fossilizers are particularly exciting because there's never been a TF quite like them (which means we'll only get three and they will never be heard from again)

Sorry, I need this 'Fossilizer' situation clarifying. What the heck is going on?

Like Cog, only skeleton dinosaurs.
Fossil transforms to robot transforms to armour/weapons for other transformers.

It would almost be a shame if they only did dinosaurs. I can imagine a Mammoth or sabre-toothed cat would be pretty cool.
I might get one out of curiosity if they look okay, but I'm mostly seeing Kingdom as an opportunity to take a breather after all the Earthrise + assorted exclusives madness this year. Maybe just Cheetor and one Fossiliser for me.

I am getting ridiculously excited over the fossilizers.
Is this how Phil feels about the modulators all the time? How can you stand it? It's like I'm about to climb out of my skin!

Okay so like I don't want a dozen of the same Fossilizer, ala Phil's Modulator Philosophy, but I do want a dozen different Fossilizers. Like... Why do we need G1 characters? Can't we just drop them and replace them with fossilizers? Give is an Opalized Plesiosaur fossilizer! |

Also getting quite excited about these fossilizers (although not quite to Toph levels) and can't wait to see more. What I'm also hoping for is that Hasbro gives them similar disassembly schemes, so that you can combine the various fossilizers to make whole new animals. Although I'm doubting they'll have gotten that far with it...

Obviously Kingdom has leaked big time.
So here's what I propose to do:
1) Move all the posts out of this thread before the panel starts Sat 26th and stick them in a locked thread.
2) See what's revealed 26th and move the relevant posts back in to this thread which will be retitled
3) Either stick the remaining posts in Rumours, if it's just a few, or leave them in a locked thread until the toys are revealed.
