The other two are Ransack and Goldbug.

Oh... that sucks.

That Scorponok looks a lot better than the original, the darker colours and lack of yellow are a huge improvement. Parasite looks pretty good too, I am tempted to get this set and Buzzsaw, then have the wasps as the Predacon equivalent of Seekers.

Interesting how Legacy wave 1 has molds that work for 2 separate characters called Randack.

Except for the red legs of course - but, those could be painted... hm.

Thank you for sharing this pic, I really don't mind making a mess in my pants, really.

I like that they applied the Transmetal colour scheme to Waspinator's Season one design and renamed it.

The underrated Mutant mask, alongside the toy deco of Scorponok, just reminds me how much better the toy design was than the show one. In every way. Sigh

Transmetal colors? That's Universe "Halloween Horrorcon" Waspinator's colors, taken from the BotCon 2015 Waruder Marauders Parasite toy.

For some reason, at time of writing, I remembered the purple legs and red wings as a default for TM Waspinator? Nevermind :oops:

Those colors on Scorp and Waspinator look really nice. Scorponok looks better than his cartoon colors in this case

We have no source on this and it may be fake BUT we did want you to have all the info in case this is the real thing. We knew a Buzzworthy Bumblebee Legacy Dinobot was coming (we were the first to break that news) and now it looks like this is our first look at it. As with the Buzzworthy Terrorsaur, this Dinobot is going for Toy accuracy. That means he comes with the headsculpt that the previous Amazon exclusive Grimlock had. As for the fullness of the pink used, it's too early to judge since we only have one picture and colours can be different depending on lighting.

Anyone else think that fleshy color is a little unsettling?

FABULOUS Dinobot. Please add glitter.

That's all well and good, but when are we getting this beautiful nightmare?

I do, looks like chicken feet.

I’m with you on this. Kingdom and Legacy are giving us some great BW rep without a doubt, but it’s a shame we’ll never get any Transmetals or Fuzors. I would love a Dinobot II and a Silverbolt, most of all a Transmetal Tarantulas.

Seems every time they re-do Dinobot, it gets weirder....

Nah, turning a raptor into a Pachycephalosaurus, now that would be weird.

As big and fearsome as the Emperor Scorpion looks, it's venom isn't deadly to humans. That's one of the only reasons why these are sold in pet stores. Their poison is more honeybee level. Granted, it would hurt like blazes, so better to NOT get stung. But they're not like the fat-tail scorpions (smaller claws, thicker tails), which CAN be lethal.

I hope all of the repaints and remolds that featured in the original BW correlate to their equivalent modern counterparts.

I would love to see Dinotron and the other Beast Machines era Dinobots get some love:

Ok so it's not just me. My first thought was a newborn animal of some kind, maybe a chicken. That dark blue face and head just don't go with the rest of that body.

Honestly, the original Dinobot mold is still pretty decent that I'd be fine if we were to simply get reissues of Thrustor, Hardhead, and Dinotron if not retools of the Kingdom mold.

I think the color IS a bit unsettling, and I also love it. It's a great color, pretty accurate to the original, and it reminds me of all the small sort of "gory" details the original Beast Wars toys had. Love it. I mean, in Dinobot's case, you essentially transform his weapons by peeling his tail and ripping off the spine inside. The legs that form the chest had ribs molded into them, and his mutant mask was a skull...

Can't unsee it. :shock:

Might buy this to go with my Street Fighter crossover figures.

That surprisingly works quite well, if it wasn't for the fact that Dino mode would look weirder, I'd say add a bit more red to complete the look.

I won't buy this, but it still looks very intriguing. I'm very curious to see the raptor mode.

You know, with the Buzzworthy Parasite/Skywasp figure, combined with Legacy Nightprowler, Hasbro proper is finally giving us the unreleased Universe "Halloween Horrorcon" Waspinator/Nightprowler 2-pack, albeit in updated mold form and released separately from each other, but still!
