That's so cool. Of course the thread there is full of moaning. Maybe people are confusing him for Blast Punch Primal, Air Attack was huge! I am also half-shocked this isn't just a movie Prime with a monkey deco slapped onto the trailer. Though to be fair a cool alternate would have been a Prime decoed as Optimus Primal. Does really need to be a Monkey toy for the Year of the Monkey |

Likewise. I have the original Air Attack Primal, but was tempted to get a Prime-painted one. But no electronics, and at least triple the price I paid for the original? No ta.
Interesting, though, all the same.

I mean at least they're trying. The last one was year of the goat, and nothing says 'year of the goat' like a transparent and orange Soundwave, right?

You make a valid point. Maybe... that's some kind of pun in Chinese..?

Tomy and Hasbro's approach to this has always been extremely and painfully flawed.
Virtually every chinese zodiac icon has been represented in Beast Wars in some shape or form. And those that haven't have "close enough" alternatives.
I'd much rather have a redeco of Corhada to represent the year of the snake, than a G1 decoed supreme cybertron starscream.
For Year of the Goat, we should have gotten a redeco of Ramulus. And so on.

It is painfully obvious, isn't it! Or even say, a metallic/gold Beast Wars animal packed in with the inevitable G1 redeco

I wish they had gone in to making new deluxe molds. One a year.
Each one transforms into that year's animal (or similar to, if they don't want to do a straight up chicken).
And then build some little story around them, that they're left over from the Beast Wars, and have become wise sages that served as the inspiration for the chinese zodiac.
Given the insane prices of the Zodiac releases, I honestly don't feel that this is too unreasonable.

Maybe a story that they were chosen to stop some terrible thing, blah blah blah and transformed. Rat: ? ??- from Gen Rattrap Ox: ?? ?- from BW Bonecrusher or BM Longhorn Tiger: ?? ?- from BW Tigatron (in testshot colors) Rabbit: Bumblebee- from BWN Stampy Dragon: Grimlock- from TM2 Megatron Snake: ?? ?- from BWN Corhada Horse: ? ??- from BWN Mach Kick Goat: Ironhide- from TM2 Ramulas Monkey: Ultra Magnus- from TM Primal Rooster: Prowl- from ?? Dog: ?? ?- from BW K9 or Cyb Snarl Pig: ? ??- from BW Razorbeast This isn't to say there shouldn't beDdecepticons on this list. This is just all I can think of off the top of my head (went with Grimlock and UM to be different from the obvious Megatron and Optimus) |

Well, it actually does fit in this case.
If I were being Hasbro about it, then let's be honest. Bumblebee would be the dragon.

Rooster, rooster, rooster... Hmmm... Who would be the best fit as a rooster. I was thinking about available rooster molds, or rather lack of. And then it hit me. BM Silverbolt. I mean, why not? Just claim he's a rooster, he may as well be! |

BM Silverbolt. I mean, why not? Just claim he's a rooster, he may as well be! I'll hear nothing bad said about that Silverbolt mold! Which is an insane position to take, because it really is terrible. The Beast Wars Returns colours make it a *little* bit more palatable. But yeah, as turkeys go... |
