So like, is this a remold of the Legacy Lio Convoy we got before? Or something new for the anniversary?

And there's the age-old analogy of "huge Maximal/Predacon/Vehicon size = small Autobot/Decepticon size". ;)

I don't think we'd need to rely on a Rook remould for Strika these days given how committed they are with characters recently deemed "obscure"

As much as I love the idea of getting the 13 in toy form, it IS a bummer that they're going to suck up so many molds for the next two or so years. Maybe we'd get a Strika next year if they weren't doing the Fallen or another Alpha Trion.

Yes, and there hasn't even been any listings for Quickstrike or any more BW characters has there?

Thanks for the side-by-side comparison. As much as I appreciate the realistic animal approach for WfC/Legacy Beast Wars, Lio Convoy is definitely a case where it didn't work out the best. I don't love the anime lion head, but I think I would have picked it over the Legacy head if there'd been a choice from the start. At this point though, I don't think I want to replace the one I already have.

So all this talk of getting Beast Machines characters proper updates, no one brings up Nightscream?

The guy who's sole toy* was an oversized, lights-and-sounds, clear plastic monstrosity?

No getting HIM, not even a proper due, just A due?!

*Yeah, there was that McDonald's toy....

Eh I've been waiting for members of the Thirteen in toy form for years and I'll gladly kick Strika and the rest of the BM gang down the road by a few years if it means getting them.

Then again the whole "Prime" mythology is right up my alley so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I try not to remember Nightscream.

Generally speaking one must have a positive recollection of the character to want a toy of said character 😛

I'm glad I binged BM in uni because it helped me pull a 180 on the franchise but even a fresh viewing and digging the themes they were going for couldn't get me to like Nightscream. Just... nah. Sorry.
Generations could give us the perfect update. He could be slashed to the bone on the sales rack. No dice.

This was mostly what I was talking about: Beast Machines toys to proper scale with one another, where Silverbolt isn't smaller than Nightscream AND Rattrap.
