From the Q Transformers website we have some interesting news pertaining to the Takara Tomy Transformers Legends line, as they see the re-release with some tweaks of the Rhinox, Waspinator and Rattle (Rattrap) figures for the Beast Wars 20th Anniversary. The latter will see an eye colour change, to better match the CGI model, while the other two will feature some general paint modifications. Check them out in the images below!

I think it's more about what takara are doing to celebrate the anniversary of beast wars then anything else.

But not with this superior deco. Thats like saying we dont need G2 Menasor since some stores still carry wave 2 of combiner wars. Its different decos. And in the case of Rhinox, very sought after.
If these were never rereleased, you'd be stuck paying 200$ on the aftermarket for Rhinox, just check this: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2Fitm%2FTransformers-TF-%20...%20SwpIdW754a%3C%2Fa%3E%3F

But on a business sense if the mold didn't sell than they wouldn't look at releasing the same character a second time unless it's a platinum edition and then you'll just be on here ranting about 3 recent figures that was originally $60 combined is now $120.

Rhinox stuck around a bit but not abnormally long in my area. I haven't seen a Waspinator in years. So no, not shelfwarmers, not around here.

It would definitely be a platinum edition and it actually turns out that the RID Platinum set as well as the coneheads are well priced. So if they released these in premium decos at a decent price, I am sure it would sell among fans.

The Hasbro versions are still very much available. I still find Rattraps at Walmart stores from time to time, and it was superior to the Takara version.\

All 3 are still readily available on Amazon too:

That Waspinator is completely different to the last Takara one. The abdomen is yellow instead of gold and I'm sure his green is lighter.

So, it looks like with Rhinox and Waspinator, Takara scaled back significantly on the metallic paint applications. Rhinox still looks great with a more matte brown paint job on his hide. Waspinator too looks more on model, and the greens are still fairly metallic and shiny. It looks like the only real differences for Rattrap are black beast mode eyes and a change in shade for the bronze highlights on his robot mold shoulders? If I'm remembering correctly, the black eyes are correct for his beast form in the cartoon, but they changed to red in robot mode. So, Takara thought we needed a more accurate beast mode, essentially?

Fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade gave us word of new twitter posts from TF Yuki which showcase the three upcoming reissues of Generations/Legends Beast Wars toys coming out for the 20th anniversary of the show and toyline. Below you will find the new photos which have these familiar toys in the most accurate show deco yet. Rattrap has black eyes, Rhinox' brown is matte and Waspinator has these gorgeous black stripes along his yellow antennas. Below the new pictures, you can see the older toys for a quick comparison.

UPDATE: Looking at the numbers LG-EX, these will be show exclusives like last year's Armada Megatron and Black Convoy. They will still be available to purchase at import retailers but at a higher price than normal.

I looked into this and this is no better than Hasbro in the end since these are con exclusives and not in any way accessible to any of us until the aftermarket which will be pricey. Hasbro is also doing the 20th anniversary of beas wars as con exclusives, but instead of rereleasing figures, they are giving us new figures (retooled with very different deco) which make an updated version of Tripedicus.

So Hasbro has beaten Takara in terms of show exclusive exclusives honouring Beast Wars, from my perspective.

Good question. If these had individual numbers associated with them, I'd say separate releases. Combo packs, like Trailbreaker and Hoist, usually only have one number. These are all labeled simply as "LGEX," so who knows. I would think they would have added numbers after the "EX" just in case they wanted to release more special figures in their Legends line.

you know, every time I see releases in slightly better or more perfect show deco I just think "I have these and meh" It's cool for people who want to pay that much and really want such decos but for me, I'm fine with what I have. Personally, only Waspinator is worth it to me. Rhinox looks awful and Rattrap looks bland. To me at least.

I looked into it. The EX means Exclusive. These are show exclusives like the previous LG EX figures Armada Megatrona and Black Convoy. These will probably be Tokyo Toyshow exclusives. Meaning anyone of us who wants these will hve to pay.

Tokyo Show Black convoy and Armada megatron weren't too bad when it comes to price all things considered.

I dont know, they were both double the Hasbro price.

The point is, this isnt a release that will be widely available, these are show exclusives and people who arent going to these events will end up paying double the Hasbro price. Whether that is a lot or no is up to the individuals. But they will have to pay more than usual none the less.

Rattrap and Waspintor will be $40 and Rhinox will be $60.

Not really, Black Convoy and Megatron were sold individually and so were these before:

Yeah but on the sliding scale of convention exclusives on the aftermarket Takara's price ain't that bad compared to funpub.

Oh I fully agree. Fun Pub's initial price is the same as the aftermarket price of takara's show exclusives. But I think its because these come directly from Takara and not a licence holder like Hero X who are making that exclusive Dogfight and Runamuck (or is it the other one).

Deathsaurus1 wrote:Anyone think we can expect a Hasbro ToysRUs exclusive platinum set of these guys? Or standalone platinum releases?

100% sure we wont. We never ever got a Hasbro release of any Takara show exclusive. And these are subtle deco changes. Usually a Hasbro release of a Takara toy has something different (look at the Platinum RID pack we just got), so since all of these are just slight changes to already existing toys you'd be asking for a straight up release of a Takara edition in the states and the last time that ever happened was in 2013 with the universe micromasters http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Superion_(Universe) which is 13 years ago, close to half of the existence of the Transformers Brand.

So if you want this exact deco (which is all this is, or else you could just buy the already ecisting ones), you will have to pay 40$ per deluxe, no way around it.

That's actually FunPub rather than Hsbro themselves, unless I've drastically misunderstood how the process works. Thus far, all Hasbro's offered is that overpriced red Primal, but Botcon and SDCC may change that.

You arent mistaken outright, just not informed on everything that is going on this year. It is explicitly stated by fun pub that this year was mandated by Hasbro. Hasbro brought its own people to plan this, from the people who did the art, all the way to those who did the bios (who is a friend of mine). Fun Pub ends up releasing these toys, but the theme (and characters used and the molds used) is all Hasbro's decision.

It was Hasbro's way of doing the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars (through their licensee fun pub, since this is their show) and thus I declare Hasbro a winner for how they have chosen to handle the anniversary of Beast Wars within a con setting and exclusive.

I've got a feeling Hasbro's much more hands-on oversight of the club this year (at least as far as the BotCon theme) is a preview of what's to come with the "restructuring" of the club for 2017 and onward.

Yup, they are going to take the reign for these fan shows and try making them more akin to a family geared starwars celebration type event. They realized you can make more money be appealing to families and they know fan will come regardless. Its still going to be a fan event but with an all ages spin. I dont know more than that.

Five figures I could have done without or three that look really cool, including two molds I don't even have (Waspinator and Rattrap)? I know what I like more, even if it ends up costing a lot. I respect Predacus but it doesn't do anything for me, unlike these Takara figures.

Courtesy of some scans of a hobby magazine, via Facebook page Planet Iacon, we have some teaser look at confirmed upcoming products from Takara Tomy, in a number of lines. Next is the slew of Legends figures, which will include what is released by Hasbro under the Titan Returns line, including the big guy Fort Max himself - check out all of the figures from LG21 to LG30 (still unrevealed) below!

We don't have Walmart in Switzerland and all the CW figures have been very hard to get at retail, so I have to rely on online shopping. Unfortunately I missed out on Shockwave and he seems to be sold out everywhere online :-(

Not only that: if I read the note on the bottom correctly, he will have Japan-original sounds as well. Yes, he'll keep the electronics

A few notes about the release names:

1.) Cancer = Crashbash aka Squeezeplay
2.) Broadcast = Blaster (kinda duh by the silhouette)
3.) Goshooter = Loudmouth aka Siren (possibly redeco)

I'm actually surprised they went with "Nightbeat" and not "Minerva"... :-?

They probably will with a retool with a feminine face
