It is legit one of the worst Transformers of all time IMO.

It doesn't transform into a condor. It doesn't transform into a griffin (it gets closer). It transforms into something that charitably looks like a condor got hit by a bus.

-ZacWilliam, it's never gonna happen but I'd happily take a Leader Class (he was very big on the show) BM Silverbolt.

I always wanted to get the Beast Wars Returns version of Silverbolt with its more show-accurate deco.

I wonder what next-level witchcraft will be needed to bring the Beast Machines techno-organic characters to Legacy?

Takara Beast Wars Again - Show accurate repaint VS sets

Dramatic Capture Series So studio series but with a new name?

There's going to be a Premium Finish three pack with Earthrise Megatron, Siege Shockwave and Earthrise/NF Soundwave, along with the SS86 throne.

Dammit, I want that. If they retool some of the greebles out of Shockwave that would be perfect.

I would love it if they removed the cr@pple-damage paint from them (especially Megs) and increased the height of Shocks just a tad more. I'm not really interested in Soundwave though, so I'll probably avoid it. Apart from the recent "troop builder" boxed set, I've found Hasbro's attempts to sell collections of figures to be rather weak. They've basically been less than the sum of their parts (IMO) and appeared like desperate cash grabs to sell one or two popular figures at a bloated price. All that has accomplished is to push me away from them.

Also, SS's ghost is interesting, but I've got both the G1 and the TF Unite version, so I'm not sure if I need it again. Still, nice for those that want it?

I hate transparent figures, so that Ghost set is an easy pass for me. The other set, I'll have to wait and see official images of. I have all 3 of those figures and the throne so more than likely a pass, but we'll see.

Sadly, the Nemesis Bridge set is probably STILL a cheaper venue in getting Earth Soundwave and Laserbeak than trying to get the Netflix set. And the other two probably won't be too bad (albeit, losing Shockwave's awesome upgrade geebles).

With the number of Coronation sets popping up at Ollies (if you got one), you could almost build an entire round table of chairs :p

Okay, I'm usually not a big fan of clear plastic, but I will buy that Starscream/Waspinator set hard.

That 3 pack might be tempting. I only bought the Shackwave version of that mold because the Walgreens Shockwave is such a pretty purple and looks fine in the display. But a clean Megatron plus any updates might push it over the top.

I'd love to get that clear Starscream, but I just don't need another Waspinator. Seems like it could've been a fun way to get a new Tall-Tankor/Octane, but if using existing molds, maybe another Cyclonus.

I really wouldn't mind if they just re-released SS86 Starscream in a clear deco, and just included the regular-colored throne. Or even a hunk of ash-colored, melted plastic that you could set the crown on top of :LOL:. Waspinator is fine and all, but I don't necessarily want or need another version.

It transforms into two pieces if you look at it funny.

I know they had to squeeze the requisite Ghost Starscream in there somewhere, but I'd have preordered the second it happened if they had actually remolded Starscream to look more like his jank-ass character model from the Beast Wars cartoon.

It's amazing that they took a square-edged design, modeled it into a 3D design where square edges are by far the easiest way to go, and went to all the trouble of making him oddly puffy and round.
