I wish the American version would have gotten that level of paint detail, but I'm still just pleased as punch that we got multiple Battle Beast homages.
Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

I agree @Donocropolis. I don't think I had ever seen the 2 side by side like that picture. So cool the amount of paint detail.
Technically we already have three, so long as you consider "bending over at the waste to make a head" to be transforming.
But I would love to see some proper Battle Beasts. Maybe as Targetmasters/Battlemasters. Heck, Smashdown was basically 90% of the way there:
Old-Man Rodimus.
Still one of my most favorite things to come out of IDW TFs. Also resonated with me when X-Men did it. And DC w/Batman.
Funny you should mention that...
I took this pic two nights ago as I was getting ready to leave work and head home that evening. I noticed this price tag in our very small toy section, a price tag I had never seen before that evening.
There was also a tag that read "TRANSFORMER TOY", which I presume refers to the few Authentics figures we've been selling up to now, and another tag that read "TRANSFORMER EARTHSPARK", which is a little more self-explanatory. But this tag?
Now, I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up, but I honestly have no idea what this tag actually refers to.

Not to be a buzzkill, but it wouldn't be the RotB Beast Weapons, would it?
Like I said, I have no idea.
The peg was empty, and looking up those ROTB toys they're called "Beast Battle Masters", so if that is the case, then somebody got the words backwards.
I would have liked the Head/Target/Powermaster concept continue with Micromasters, Minicons and Battlebeasts (and possibly MASK), etc so that various vehicles, mech-suits etc across the lines could have some level of cross-play at the same(ish) scale. They could even throw in Star Wars and GI-Joe too, with the various pilots, characters being able to either sit in the various vehicles, turrets, etc or stand on pegs and/or exchange weapons via 5mm ports on them all.
Garbage
I'd love to get a remold of Trashmaster as a Legacy version of Animated Wreck-Gar, complete with TV head and everything.
This thing I will forever consider the crown jewel of my entire TF collection. It’s the GOAT. Periodt.
I'm jealous as I got to wait until Feb at least to get my copies of this guy (ordered 2 copies), ya better do a photo shoot of him, including how he transforms!
Next on the list to be unyellowed is Kingdom Cyclonus. The champagne gold with the lightest tinge of pink was annoying to match but I think it worked out decently.
also bought a SS86 Sweep and promoted him to Scourge. I like this blue far better than the sunfaded royal blue thing courge has.
Loosening the shin screws the slightest bit seems to have helped his ankles’ tendency to pop between two positions.
