That's all I needed. All I needed. Just a little validation. But no, you had to go and make me have to turn it into 'a thing'.

Terrasaur looks more like Skysaur from Magmatron. Errm, 'cuse me, isn't anyone impressed with my Beast Wars knowledge? I did have to pause and check the user name associated with that comment, yes. You still have the power to surprise! |

Did YOU cut his internet cables? -Ralph It could have been his punishment for the lack of Chessing. But no, I believe it was the final act of revenge by the tree that was being removed. Despite liking the internet and recognising the need to remove the trees I'm on the trees side. No proper internet till monday-wednesday. |

So far, all kingdom BWs have gone with being realistic beast modes (even if they aren't accurate, the dinosaurs lean into believable animals over monsters). I guess the decision was made that since they will never get a realistic pteranodon out of a falcon, that they'd just lean as hard into cartoon accuracy as they could. |

I thought his chin-strap was broken, but it looks like it was just a paint-app. Which is applied in an unfortunate place given that the two sides of his head haven't been assembled to sit flush. That's... a little bit poor.

I got Jackpot in today and he is all kinds of borked up.
Combined with the mismatched head halves, overall mold quality feels like this is the sixtg use, instead of the second.
Every joint and hinge feels slightly too loose without falling into floppy. Tabs are the same.
He feels more like an actual bootleg than an official figure.
All together, this might be a dealbreaker for some. His head is very distracting.
Expect an influx of 3P replacement heads.

I also got Ranger/Puffer just before (or after) christmas.
While these deco choices are not what I'd have prefered,* I still love them, and as good as Huffer is, the Pipes tooling is that much better! (It makes me wonder why the cab twist isn't a standard feature)
I didn't realize how much new tooling the Pipes mold has.
Road Ranger, my copy the cab doesn't stay pegged into the back, which in turn prevents his right shoulder from locking into place. I may just have a bum copy, but be prepared for that.
He's a lovely deco, and if you don't like Gobots, he'd be a brilliant G2 Huffer.
*If I had my druthers, then Puffer would use the Huffer mold, while Road Ranger would use the Pipes mold in actual Road Ranger's colors. Then do the e-hobby black deco somewhere else.

Terrorsaur is back in stock on Amazon for anyone not wanting to pay 100-500% mark ups.

I got mutant tigatron the other day and this guy is so pretty in hand.
I honestly think I like him better than white tigatron.
I do wish though, that they had gone premium with his deco. He really needs more stripes than he has. Also the mutant headsculpt looks better at this size than on the deluxe.
For now, I'm calling him Sumatron.

Terrorsaur is finally in my possession, at very long last!
The less said about the pteranodon, the better.
The most complementary thing I have to say about is that forcing a show accurate terrorsaur pteranodon mode out of Airazor, it works slightly better than you'd think, but it's still comically bad. If you look at it head on, it looks like Terrorsaur wearing a Hollywood "pterodactyl" mask, squatting.
Robot mode, he works much better than he should. I still think that he deserved his own unique voyager mold more than Cyclonus (Cyc would get one sooner than later, and SS86 would have been a better place for him), and I also think that if they had to force him from Airazor, they could get enough use from him to have justified reworking the torso entirely.
All that said, they did am amazing job. I never would have guessed in a million years you could get an effective show accurate Terrorsaur from a show accurate Airazor.
The simple colorscheme works better in hand than it does in pictures.
Great head sculpt. That's probably what sells it.
All in all, not what I'd have preferred. They dropped the ball when every other season 1 BW in Kingdom got something really unique and spectacular.
But for what he actually is? He turned out pretty great.
