Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Deluxe BotCon 2013 Reveals

Everyone keeps bitching about how they don't combine because the pegs are missing. But there's still holes on the inside of the legs and other odd spots. Maybe they just changed the way they connect? Put the pegs on Hunn-grrr or something. Until I see a post from Hasbro, or one of our sites get all 5 and say no, I'm not counting it out. I think a lot of you just like to bitch and this was just another chance.

Because redesigning them all defeats the entire purpose of using older molds to save money. If they were going to do that, they would just make all new molds instead.

The up-scaled figures are basically filler to finish up the TFPrime line while TF4 starts. It's not the end of the world, so stop freaking out about them.

I agree, plus that money goes to TF4 and those Generations that all have a sign saying "Made for Adults" on them

These out released until next year……around January mate. Alot of people are hoping this isn't the way transformers are going! ESP for the 4th movie

Maybe they are testing the waters,i mean the voyagers will not get a much flak as the deluxes considering that they base them on the simpler cyberverse toys. i think if they gone with ones that have better articulation (I.E Cliffjumper) then i guess people would say it would still be a downgrade. i think it's due to the nature of the limited articulation of cyberverse. heck would it bother them to alter the design abit to add articulation? i mean they are bigger,just make new parts where it matters in robot mode.

I know this threads a little old, but now that some of these are in stores, we can see the deluxes are the same as they have been and these "simplified" figures are the one step down we saw in the last BH wave. The price point is the result of them being a two pack. So, we didn't get screwed on our beloved deluxes.

Are you FUCKING Kidding me? I thought Hasbro loved us. Bye Prime line. Thank God we have Construct Bots (I'm a BIONICLE/HERO Factory fan)

Upscaled Cyberverse toys? Hasbro really is going down the drain. Good thing they have those awesome Generations toys as back-up.

I understand that complaint, but making all new designs for a toyline which will continue past the show's end, and is not selling well on top of that, would cost them a lot more money than upscaling figures.

What they've done is provided an easy option for kids moving into 2014, and saving/freeing up money for Generations and the upcoming TF4 movie line. You'd rather them spend that money making new rescue-bot-level molds for the prime – rise of the predacons subline? :-\ They killed two birds with one stone.

I will only bitch if the TF4 line is overly simple, or generations takes a nose dive. I see no evidence of either of those things happening, so it seems like a win/win for us. Prime ends gracefully, and we get better adult-level figures. Hell, they're giving us Rhinox and a TAILGATE! I can't be mad as Hasbro for cutting come costs somewhere.

I agree with all your points but just me personally, I just would rather have seen Hasbro go with easier to transform toys for whatever show replaces Prime/Beast Hunters and provided just repaints rather than switch the paradigm midstream. Some of the repaints they could have gone with could have been, Red Rumble/Frenzy, Ironhide, BH Skyquake, Thundercracker, Skywarp. There is enough for at least two waves, which is pretty much all that will be out for the Predacons Rising sub-line before it gets yanked off shelves in favor of TF4.

And yes I have no complaints about the Generations reveals, all those look fantastic. I hope Hasbro stays the course with this line and the TF4 line.

actually i was looking at tcommander predaking, then his other toys, (the voyager and the ultimate) and the new predaking is indeed
NEW
everything
kinda weird XD

Man, I was so close… SO close… to picking up Voyager Predaking. Thank god I didn't, that new one looks awesome! But oh my god, those deluxes! Now I can focus on Rhinox and Waspinator!
