Third party company Cang Toys have revealed, via their Weibo account, images of the gray prototype of their new Cy-Mini-06 Rhimini (Legends Scale G1 Heastrong).
While Cang Toys is already working on their own Masterpiece scaled Predacons, they also revealed a new version for the Legends scale market. This take on G1 Tantrum brings us a very interesting design, stylized for sure but still recognizable as the classic G1 character. We have images showing the robot and beast mode, comparison shots next to CY-Mini-02 Landmini (Legends Scale G1 Tantrum) and pics of the combiner foot parts which can be used as a stand for his scale-partner CY-Mini-01 Firmament (Legends Scale G1 Divebomb).

Aw hell yeah, Rampage pics! Iirc Thorilla will be out this month, and Razorclaw in a few months, then Rampage. Hopefully we get combined pics soon!
I have to ask though, since Divebomb, Tantrum, Headstrong, and presumably Thorilla can replace their bot heads with their beast heads, do we think Razorclaw and Rampage can pull a Blot by hiding their bot heads and using their chest heads? No chance I'll display them like that, but it'd be good for a couple fun pics lol.

According to Cang, it won't be much longer before we see the full combined mofe of this entire set. Can't wait!!!

I actually don't have any issues myself one I got the trick down. Once you pull the two halves as far as you can light pressure upwards on the hinge usually gets the head started enough to get it the rest of the way for me.

You're welcome and I totally understand FOMO!! I don't normally delve into highly stylized takes but because I loved thormini (who couldn't for $26.99???) and it was so high quality I decided I wanted the rest! My wallet is dead since I rediscovered my love for Transformers hahaha

I saw someone on here rotate their bird feet 180 degrees/backwards and it works surprisingly well for trying to de-beastify the bot feet. I plan on trying the same with the panther.
Honestly, I don’t really disagree with any of your criticisms, except just to say that some of this stuff (esp the animal limbs on bot arms folding trick) is tough to avoid at this scale. That said, I’ve got the bull and the rhino in beast mode and I reckon I’ll keep ‘em that way till the rest of the set arrives.

Four legged beast modes ==> robot mode being not much more than "he stands up" has kinda been a thing since forever.
I mean, at least the paws don't double as hands like some Beast Machines figures.

Thanks for the info!! I'm in total fomo mode right now but I'll try my best to have you all enjoy the set for me

Unpopular opinion alert.
The bird, the gorilla, the lion and the panther all have too much kibble.
The lion is just a mass with limbs
The panther and bird having animal feet looks lazy
The panther and gorilla having animal limbs on the robot arms looks rushed compared to the bull and rhino
My displays have the teams and then combiner in detolfs but I think this group might spend their lives as animals and not bots.

Rhimini has an ab crunch, but tantrum does not as far as I can tell with my copy.
TheLastPrime2893
The MP set doesn't have an ab crunch. I don't think the mini set will have an ab crunch. Would be nice if it did though..
HappyCryCat
Do the currently released figures have a crunches – the rhino and bull? I just got out of this set and only have firmini ATM but wildly tempted to hop back in…
I know gorilla isn't out yet but he kind of looks like he has an ab crunch…
Kevin Iaquinto
I need it rn
Nemesis Compactor
Does look like a step up from the big version.
Be a nice bookend for CT Predaking if he's the last released after the big one was their first.

You know I was raised in G1 since I'm imagining Tantrum running through the vacuum of space like this next to Divebomb.

I've gotta how a legend/mini sized team of the Dinos would look. Yes – I know I'm getting ahead of myself seeing as we've yet to even have the 1st Dino in hand! But I kinda think part of the appeal of a Dino combiner team is the colossal presence it would have. Would a scaled down version look more comical than anything else? But don't get me wrong – I'd bite without thinking twice. Just thinking out loud thats all…

Like father, like son. Thundermini can be the mini warrior for the Legends group..
Operative294
Looks very nice, only thing left is the new updated design combined mode.
TheLastPrime2893
All that's needed for this one and Kingmini is color and they'll both be good to go. If the last 3 members are gonna be simultaneous releases, then Thundermini should be complete no later than early to mid September at most. Right before Stegsarow's release following the next month after..

Beauty! now gimme gimme gimme
