I'm liking the vinyl chibis. Could be a bit large for it but I think I could make a keychain if I ever got Grimlock.

That's what I thought as well.
You can have all the ones that pop up here in Wilmington. I'm strictly going for Generations until... maybe the next series pops up. Collecting decent Prime figures are becoming more of a chore than a hobby.

It means that the Bots and Cons originally came "from" Cybertron. Nowhere in this description is it referring to the events of the Prime cartoon (especially since it refers to their war having lasted for eons, which it did on Cybertron, not on Earth).PrymeStriker wrote:The Autobots and Decepticons from the world of Cybertron have battled for aeons; now, their war comes to Earth with the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Action Figures

It's referring to the bigger figures like Deluxe and above, whereas the smaller scale figures are the Cyberverse stuff.PrymeStriker wrote:These figures, in a larger scale,

The way they said it was: "now, their war comes to Earth with the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Action Figures," as if they weren't on Earth before then. The sarcastic response was admittedly a misreading of part of the text, but there's still something off about the line on the other side of the semicolon.
What I thought they meant was that these figures are bigger than any other Deluxe or Voyager we've gotten before.

I'm not impressed with these new Beast Hunter toys.
I'm not sure why as TF fans we should care about these ugly molds, with playschool-like colors. Efforts like this only push me more into the direction of third party toys.
TF fans have been loyal and growing in number since the 80's. Its time hasbro stops putting out junk!

Me neither. But that's just my opinion.
Please realize that these aren't necessarily sharpened for us: they're for the kids of this generation who are just getting into Transformers, and don't care if they're homaging a character from Transformer past. The other day as I was browsing the aisle, and this youngin' was looking for a certain Transformer from the Prime line. I happened to have seen it while searching for something else, and casually handed it to him, remarking they should have had Transformers that poseable when I was his age. The little dude just gave me the greatest face ever, said thanks, and walked on by.

Yes, how dare Hasbro make children's toys for children instead of adult collectors. How dare they try something new instead of rehashing the same G1-homaged stuff again and again. How dare they make toys that bright and colorful instead of dull and drab. How dare they go for something as creative and exotic as mythical beasts and monsters instead of same old cars and trucks that they always do. Hasbro be darned for having imagination and a feeling of innovation.DrRX8 wrote:I'm not impressed with these new Beast Hunter toys.

Seriously couldn't they have passed this new twinheaded dragon off as a another incarnation of Jungle Planet's Scourge?
To think that they forgot about a 6 year old character who could be passed off a return of a old character who was also a multiheaded dragon
Instead of handing off the title of the G1 combiner who is the king of 6 beasts combined making the name fitting as he was also very powerful to be truly a Predacon King/Predaking
If they really wanted this name again so bad, they should have the 2012 Predacons become a new combiner, that would be appropriate.

Watch out folks, we've got a GEEWUNER here! 
As for Prime Predaking, there's literally NO more fitting monicker for the leader of the Predacons. King is in his name! And he's big enough that making him an gestalt would be asinine. xD Prime Predaking is probably nearly as big as G1 Predaking on HIS OWN. 
A gestalt with that thing at its core would be monstrously ridiculous!

But what if they want to introduce Scourge as the leader of the Sweeps?
You think they forgot? Please.
Predaking is the leader of the Predacons. The king of the Predacons. Predaking. It doesn't make his name any less valid.
I'm going to assume you acted similarly when Menasor was one person instead of a Gestalt in Cybertron.
But, hey...what are you going to do? Some people just don't accept change. It's still happening, and that's one thing that's not going to change.

Predaking is the leader of the Predacons. The king of the Predacons. Predaking. It doesn't make his name any less valid.
If they really wanted this name again so bad, they should have the 2012 Predacons become a new combiner, that would be appropriate.
I'm going to assume you acted similarly when Menasor was one person instead of a Gestalt in Cybertron.
But, hey...what are you going to do? Some people just don't accept change. It's still happening, and that's one thing that's not going to change.

You forget to mention that GEEWUN Predaking had this realistic colorscheme, very different from this playskool poo-pile that is showcased here.

I'm not sure why as TF fans we should care about these ugly molds, with playschool-like colors. Efforts like this only push me more into the direction of third party toys.
TF fans have been loyal and growing in number since the 80's. Its time hasbro stops putting out junk!

The larger Predaking doesn't have as much neon paint, although does not lack it either.

I was getting the tiniest bit excited when I thought I saw Laserbeak, but then I realize it said LaserBACK.

BH Soundwave comes with Ravage. Besides, Laserbeak in this continuity is nothing more than a simple reconnaissance drone, not the well-known character from other continuities such as G1. There would be no reason to make another toy of him.
...Too much info?

In principal, Laserbeak isn't necessarily just a drone. Since Soundwave wiped his own emotions, perhaps he did it to at least Laserbeak as well?

Technically, he is "just a drone." We don't know what happened during the millions of years of gap that we got from Exiles to Prime, but Laserbeak never really showed emotions. However, he seemed to be a bird of his own on Cybertron. On Earth, Laserbeak is merely an extension of Soundwave, being Soundwave's eyes and ears when deployed and performing tasks for him. He isn't an individual. Instead of wiping his emotions, perhaps he was wiped of individuality.
