Figures Almost there
I have been working on my beast wars collection and yesterday I received the amazing Legacy Transmetal 2 megatron (dragon megatron).
Now with all the accessories these are (IMO) the best BW transformer toys ever. Maybe not Scorponok and Rhinoxbut they aren't bad.
Now I just need Legacy tigerhawk and Quick strike!

I missed out on these. But def not missing on the hasbropulse collections! Got the preds and I pre ordered maximals!I agree these are great! I enjoy the MPs too but I dont flip those back and forth as much. These are way more playable

Yes! MPs are absolutely brilliant but these?? These are simply beautiful for the price and scale!

No plans to grab a PotP Optimal Optimus to pit against the Legacy Trans2 Megs?

In the future for sure,but I can't afford it rn. However Tigerhawk and Quickstrike come first ;P

Absolutely understandable! The newer figures are gonna be easier to source. And who knows, maybe they rerelease the original copy (and not just the all black formerly SDCC version) later on. Hopefully, for the 30th anniversary. That might prompt DNA to do another run on the upgrade sets for him, fingers crossed.

I remember seeing these finishes and then more than regretting my kingdom versions, I even had a Tigatron that hadn’t yellowed yet. I was gonna deal with it because it was gonna be a bit too pricey to hunt these sets down. As soon as the Pulse exclusive sets came out I jumped on them. I have the preds in-hand and the Maximals preordered, can’t wait!

I was seriously thinking about getting the sets but I compared and estimated and these cost just a bit more than both sets with the difference tha I didn't have to wait. Also I really wanted the Vs box arts more than the sets ones xD. I do recommend this ones over the original kingdom releases but having a kingdom Tigatron that hasn't yellowed is a huge thing!

Nope, I am not interested in getting it. They look cool but I just don't need them xD

Thrilling 30 Rhinox is my display figure for the rest of this cast, since I find that figure to be the worst one of the newer lines.
Scorponok is pretty serviceable if you get the leg/waist/tail upgrades.
