You know, this really is totally unnecessary. You're over thinking it, designers. One dino shitting out another dino isn't a selling point.

Oh Shockprowl, let me tell you about the dino-birds and the bees.

Magmatron Behind The Scenes from Hasbro Designer Mark Maher Marclonus on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1tFdyPMIHy/

Behold… the Predacon Emperor of Destruction, Legacy United Commander class Magmatron is ready to shred through your puny collection. Bare witness to the rath that 3 of the largest species of dino’s, the Giganotosaurus, the Quetzalcoatlus, and the Elasmosaurus can do to your Maximal and Autobot armies!
.
Still can’t really believe I was able to bring this incredible bad guy to life with the amazing Shu san over at Takara Tomy. His dedication and keen design sense just put this guy over the top!
.
There’s so much to talk about, where do I even begin, the sculpted details, the colors, the insane articulation, the size, the transformation sequence, the blast effects, the magmablade, the magmasaurus mode 🤯 When I first saw this OG toy so many years ago, I was blown away, there was so many things I love about Transformers packed into this guy. Then once I actually watched the Beast Wars Neo dubbed series and saw the action sequence of the combining dino’s I damn near pooped my pants 👖🤣!
.
Some deets Dnavi said to mention, the shouldered blurple landsaurus head can move forward in robot mode, the lower jaws of all the dino’s have painted mouths, the blast effects fit into the port of the magmablade but you can also position it as a blaster, due to transformation the waist actually hinges and can act as almost an ab crunch articulation, the seasaurus can plug into a 5mm port to stay stationary or can unplug and become mobile, the skysaurus does have his 2 removable terrorswords, wooooooooo (allow me to Ric Flair strut around the room)
.
This year is going to have some real doozies I think all of yall will love! The long nights, the relentless work, the extra, the weathering of the storm, its all worth it for everyone to get the TF toys we all want and deserve! ✌🏻more soon!

Pics to follow, against the clock here

Hasbro 40th anniversary fans salon in China

[Pinwig]

Fan salon sounds terribly exciting!

Fan saloon.

[Pinwig]

I'm still trying to imagine what happens in a fan salon.

[The Doctor]

Andu belly dances.

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

That's not an image I was expecting in my head today.

[Philip Ayres]

UK Fans have been receiving their Magmatron preorders today - including me!

He's a BIG hefty boy for a BW remake.

Lots of pictures around the web today

[The Doctor]

Looks pish, like thw original.

-Ralph

[Shockprowl]

Doctor! How dare you?! The original is spectacular!


The new one... he's hugonous!

[The Doctor]

Nah, the original is a truly shite toy.

-Ralph

[Philip Ayres]

Original is good, if a little slight. The new one feels a much wore solid item with some heft to it.

Can't see it changing Ralph's mind though.

Does make me wonder what a Legacy BWII Galvatron would be like....

If it ever crops up on a sale I'll be up for this. Doubtful it will given the latest practices.

[Philip Ayres]

Size Comparison

[Toph]

He's got a spark crystal!!

[Pinwig]

He looks amazing, very impressive. If I'd bought into the beast figures I'd be on this like a shot, but he'd be redundant in my collection because I didn't buy any of them.

Likewise. And, indeed, alas, likewise.

[Rich]

From the photos, I think there's something about the plastic that's a bit cheap looking.

[The Doctor]

To be fair, I like that it is bigger than the original. So used to remakes being *smaller*.

-Ralph

[Philip Ayres]

Jonathan's home, with Phone (but not house keys!) and it's daylight so here's a much better quality picture of the Two Magmatrons

[Llama God]

Did he pass you the phone through the letterbox..?

[Philip Ayres]

Magmatrons with Neo Big Convoy

[Shockprowl]

Gosh he is huge.

[The Doctor]

That's why they call him Big Phil.

-Ralph

[Dezzeh]

I didn't order this one, feeling that pang of regret..
