Got an Airazor. Am happy Matrix c:

Just need to wait for the upcoming Rhinox and rumored Tigatron for my Season 1 Maximal team to be complete!
And for the upcoming Scorponok, and rumored Waspinator, Terrorsaur, and Tarantulas for my season 1 Preds...As well as dig up my old BW Inferno since apparently we're not getting the ant at all.

Your's is just getting him? The one I go to had him for months.

If you are lucky he might dig himself out.

The one I saw him at is 90 minutes south from where I live. The one closest to me still has a few of those Ultra Magnus boxes with the translucent variant included, but I haven't seen the single release at that location. The one closest to me is one of the weaker ones, which tends to get things much later if ever.

I could see them throwing Inferno into the next line, like how quite a few characters in Earthrise were clearly 'completing' things not finished in Siege (Snapdragon etc)

Watched a review of Fans Hobby's Armada Optimus, and man, the articulation really suffers in order to compensate for the Combine Mode. Still, here's to hoping Fans Hobby makes an Armada Hot Shot and Starscream one day.

I definitely hope so. His exclusion seems so odd (Other than to avoid confusion by having 2 voyager class figures in the same subline be named Inferno).

Prefer and Armada Sideways.

Funny mentioning that since it actually IS Orson Welles’ birthday today. RIP.

I look forward to the Transformers table top game.

I'm in a serious Beast Wars mood right now, but it's also a weird mood.

I'm happy that IDW is doing a new series (they're about 4 issues in so far), but it's a little weird for it to be a separate continuity from the original show. That said, almost every comic related to the Beast Wars cartoon finds some way to twist the mythos of the show around to the point of near total obfuscation! The one that pisses me off the most is "Dawn of the Predacus"!

Also, the idea of Liege Maximo being largely responsible for the Maximals in the 2005 IDW Continuity just sounds like an old fan theory which tried to connect the finale of the G2 comic with Beast Wars. If such a theory did exist back in the day, it's an interesting take, but it feels a little too easy because of the all-too-obvious name comparisons.

I'm happy that they're doing newer, semi-show-accurate figures, but the distribution and the cost are just maddening. I like Blackarachnia's show-accurate robot mode, but the beast mode is just meh.

I'm immensely curious as to how Kingdom is going to tackle the BW cast, but given how the animated version of the Trilogy has played-out so far...
