It's hard to judge the design based on these images. He initially feels a bit plain, compared to Meteor and Birth, but it looks like he has a sort of Assassin's Creed thing going on, which could be pretty cool. I love the shoulder mantle.

:lol

I'm not really getting the "oh my god this is awesome" feeling I got from Meteor's reveal, but I quite like the name and his phantom so I'll form a proper opinion when I see Beast in action.

The way that ShoulderLeon looks in the new picture reminds me of Drake, but less horrible. Also, his phantom is a chimera with two extra heads and each head attaches to make a new form? Sold!

And now the new picture makes me like him. :P

I still don't like the cape though; that's what initially threw me off from it. And I was initially disappointed it wasn't science-themed... But okay, the different animals is kind of cool.

Yeah I definitely dig him now =]

What I don't dig is the amount of potential/exclusive things we're going to get for this show in the figuarts line. I can totally see bandai making the chimera with detaching cloak parts and just selling Beast in his standard form. Same for the Wizardragon.. It'll combine with the bike and have detachable parts for the Dragon style power ups, no way will they package the parts with the individual forms when they could sell you a whole dragon.

I know I'm thinking ahead, and I hope I'm wrong, mainly for my wallets sake, but we'll see I guess =] if not their's always the WAP line I guess =p

They could do it like Zolda and Magnuiga(I think that's how it's spelled?), where the figure comes with parts that are smaller/more show accurate/etc. but the Dragon could still form said parts.

Yeah hopefully they will, I just have this terrible feeling that they won't =p

I'm just wondering if they're going to be making like 10+ Wizard variant figures. We've seen 8 different Wizard forms, plus you know there's going to be a final form and a movie form or two. Fourze got 7 total, right?

Close. 8. Base, Elec, Fire, Magnet, Rocket, Cosmic, Meteor Fusion, and Rocket-Drill states from the Hyper Battle Video.

Rocket-Drill is just Rocket States with a drill on his arm. If anything, you just need a new head and Module to plop on a Rocket States Figuart.

At least OOO had a set of Toka and Cheetah parts repainted to become Kangaroo parts.
