Just tell me where I can find a place in my area that actually has an accessible drop box these days, and I'll be doing exactly that.
I did that last year (fire department), but I'd MUCH rather just drop it in a box without having to bother another human being. That's all-but impossible these days.
We still have drop boxes around here (confirmed last night), but I'm sure that varies a lot from region to region.

Hasbro is a major Toys for Tots supporter after all.
I know the site well. It's pretty awful to navigate for local regions.We still have drop boxes around here (confirmed last night), but I'm sure that varies a lot from region to region.

I expect in the future Takara will do a more show faithful deco of the toy and by then we might have some of the TM verisons of the characters, I would be down for a modern verison of TM Rattrap that looks like how he appears in the show
I doubt it. Beast Wars Again ended its broadcast back in September since it was only building up to the theatrical release of ROTB, and has since been replaced by the Japanese dub of EarthSpark. The toyline seems to be ending with the Ghost Starscream & Haunted Waspeeter 2-pack, as no episodes of Beast Wars Metals were included in the broadcast (and, well, the Transmetals aren't all that popular in Japan).
In this case, I'd love to be wrong, but I just don't see it happening.
I wonder how things would be going today if Takara didn't sabotage Beast Wars in the first place.
No Chase? No worries.
Related to that, I actually recently found out the reason why Season 2 and 3 were both half the length of Season 1. It's because Season 1 cost Mainframe 18 million dollars to produce, and while Hasbro wanted a second season, they didn't want to pay that same amount a second time. So the budget was cut in half, which cut the episode count in half.
Plus, Hasbro had even at one point wanted to delay the premiere of season 2 until 1998 instead of late 1997, because of how well Kenner was doing with their Star Wars toyline at the time, and were gearing up for the then-upcoming release of The Phantom Menace, which they wanted to focus on more rather than Beast Wars. Bob Forward had to convince them to let Beast Wars season 2 release in late 1997 as planned, as delaying it to the next year would have surely been a death knell for the series.
He's certainly got a bunch of shiny copper, but no brown. The toy has a lot of copper AND brown, and I think the latter is really what is throwing it off. I think the contrast between the two colors accentuates it as well (as opposed to if it was just all the same copper color).
The hips being brown when they were white on the show also sticks out a lot IMO, even though it's a relatively small part of the overall figure.
It’s probably due to the brown plastic being the unpaintable type, which is fairly notorious for more limited color choice compared to most other plastics. Kind of like how TM2 Megs has gold paint with mustard-looking plastic but a bit more extreme.
toy colors Tigerhawk is more visually interesting anyway.

The extra-bulky front legs contrasted with the stick thin rear legs sure is something.
Can't sabotage what was already broken.
