<a href="http://www.tformers.com/" target="_blank">tformers.com</a> have just posted new images of unpainted Test Shots of upcoming Robot Heroes figures that we were first shown back at Botcon.
The Beast Wars figures are Rattrap, Cheetor, and Megatron.
While representing G1 we have Galvatron, Hound, Blitzwing and Sunstreaker.
To check out the pictures of these figures, please <a href="http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=album&album=8604&dispsize=800&start=0" target="_blank">click here</a>.
Beast Wars Heroes are officially the cutest thing ever. ever.
EVER.
Rattrap especially is super adorable! And nice to see some cool often-ignore G1 characters like Blitzwing and Hound getting some attention (that's the kind of G1 homages I like!)
Hound I think is the cutest Robot Heroe to date (take that Ravage!), that expression is priceless!
i have a feeling that, well since galvatron and sunstreaker will be in classics 2.0 and blitzwing (would have been in classics 2.0)is in animated and so I think Hound will be too!
i appologise for my unrestrained use of capital letters i assure you that it wont happen again.
But seriously great to see beast wars getting some love.
Given the recognition in the 10th anniversry line, the new sculpts created from it, blackaracnia in animated and these cute little buggers it makes me hopeful that classics/universe will reimagine some of the beast wars characters (with repaint potential as pats of predaking perhaps)
The more I look at Galvatron...I do like it, but I'm wondering about the decision to have his arm out sideways like that. Not that poseability is foremost with these little guys, but while he'll look nice when his head's turned to match that direction, there's not much else I can see him doing if it rotates 360 at the shoulder. I think the cannon should have been at more of an angle, or maybe straight forward from his body.
Hehe, my girlfriend is SO addicted to these things. Well, the G1 figures that is. She keeps asking when or if Ironhide will happen - her favorite character
I'm happy about all 4 of these new figures, but am VERY pleased to see Hound in there. Talk about an unexpected surprise.
Fingers crossed that we still eventually get Wheeljack, Cyclonus, Ironhide, Ratchet, Prowl and the other 4 Dinobots. I'd kill for a Reflector set, a Constructicon set and the other 2 Insecticons.
I wonder if this is one wave with Beast Wars and G1 being sold together or two seperate waves being previewed at the same time.
The fourth Beast Wars toy would be a predacon and most likely an episode one show character.
i'd love to see T-Wrecks, Packrat, Detritus and Alternators Dead End repaints of these (although Sunstreaker's G1 form doesn't quite match up to Alternator Dead End's appearance).
Augh! I was thinking I'd probably at least get the Galvatron because it'll be the only G1 Galvatron I'll ever own, but that weird smirk on his face really ruins the figure for me. Looks like he just cut the Energon, blamed it on Cyclonus, and is trying really, really hard not to laugh about it.
Motto:"I once lost a battle. So long ago I can barely remember it."
Weapon: Thermal Melters
Great selections for the next wave!
BWOP: "Die-cast construction...It's a lost art!"
Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!
I think that this bizarre group of G1 Robot Heroes is a hint of things to come in the G1 reissue figure department. I know all those have been reissued by Takara. I can dream. North American release of lava bath Galvatron anyone?
