Coming to us thanks to 2005 Boards member Roanstalker, payres and Beast Wars Fans Forever Facebook Group member Aaron Greenslade, we can share for you some comparison shots of the new Legacy United Magmatron next to the original Beast Wars Neo Magmatron toy.
To our surprise, Legacy Magmatron have been delivered in Asia and in the UK, and now we can share for you some interesting comparison shots of this modern rendition of Magmatron next to the original Beast Wars Neo Magmatron from 1999. It’s been 25 years and we now have not only a considerably bigger figure, but now featuing the advantages of modern articulation. We also have some extra details about this highly anticipated Commander figure. Read on for details:
- Legacy Magmatron is bigger than BW Neo Magmatron not only in robot mode, but in his individual dinosaur modes.
- Legacy Magmatron is slighly shorter than Legacy Armada Optimus Prime.
- Skysaur’s wing-missiles can also be used as swords like in the original BW Neo toy.
- Seasaur’s neck is shorter and has less articulation points than the original BW Neo toy, but it looks more proportioned and in scale with the dinosaur body.
- There’s waist articulation not present in the old toy.
- Landsaur is the most articulated of the three dinosaur components.
- Legacy Magmatron got neck articulation, but it’s a but limited due to the way Skysaur’s legs connect to the main body.
- Legacy Magmatron’s sword is made of painted rubbery plastic. It’s storaged inside Landsaur’s tail like in the original toy. The sculpt is missing some side spikes of the original toy.
- Skysaur’s wing-missiles are also made of rubber plastic.
- A pair of Seasaur’s flippers are made of rubber plastic (the ones not in a ball joint).
