And how would that be done when there is no sign of the Matrix of Leadership anywhere during the Beast Era?

The Siege Seekers were an attempt to directly replicate the Tetrajets as seen in the cartoon. They even had their cartoon robot modes with the fake F-15 parts.

Well, let me ask you this. What exactly does it mean to be a Prime in the Beast Era age of the Maximals and Predacons, which is a point in time when individuals like Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime no longer exist, and the factions are instead headed by government councils instead of Matrix of...

The only thing they're doing differently is not covering Bee and Jazz in gratuitous greeble and battle damage. The design philosophy is still the same.

So? It's still a Matrix. And not every Prime even has a Matrix. None of the Primes from Animated did, for example. Yet Optimus, Sentinel, Rodimus, etc. all still bore the rank of Prime. Heck, even Shockwave was a Prime in that series, having earned the rank under his "Longarm" alias.

You're asking if a commander-type character with "Prime" in his name should be considered a Prime.

That's like asking if Rodimus Prime should be considered a Prime.

Except they kept touting Siege as being directly inspired by the first few scenes of that old episode. Heck, that's why the entire line used the design philosophy of "The robot modes must look faithful enough to the G1 cartoon models (from the front) no matter what nonsense altmode they turn...

Despite the name, Big Convoy isn't actually all that big. He's the same height in robot mode as Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal. Even his original toy was shorter than both of theirs, while both of their MPs were scaled to the height of his original toy. Conversely, Magmatron is huge. He towers...

Despite being in bear mode, Icebird never felt comfortable standing the presence of large cats.

Already being discussed in the Selects thread, since it's a Selects toy.

Cybertronian Wheeljack would have happened in Siege if he (and Spinister) had won the fan vote that Impactor and Mirage won instead.

And given how much this fandom still resents the very existence of Primacron as a character, I can't imagine a toy of him being all that popular.

Here's Fox Kids's old RID2001 website. Lotta Flash content that's either long gone or in need of an emulator to play, some character profiles taken from show's production bible, and a description of the show in the "About" section.

Looking at this pic, I only just now realize how much Groudpounder has some Omega Supreme-ish vibes going on with his design.

RID2001 Hot Shot's deco is just G1 Stepper's deco.

It's funny how this one is several times larger but may actually be the cheaper option.

At long last, Linkara has finally posted his History of Power Rangers Dino Fury video:

Some places still have Encore Big Convoy in stock. It's a perfectly fine figure, and was made as a companion piece to go with the Masterpiece release of Lio Convoy, in lieu of an actual MP Big Convoy mold. And its deco is show-accurate. I recommend anyone wanting a Big Convoy to pick it up. You...
