4:50 Ravage was not a Predicon he was only in 1 episode and he explicitly said “Deceipticons Forever!!!” Ravage is one of(if not the only) characters in BW that is canonically a DECEPTICON. HOW DID YOU MISS THAT???

I did not actually. If you look at his hip, it has a Predacon symbol on it, as well as in the fact that they OUT RIGHT STATE in the show that he was Reformatted into a Predacon. Those are their exact words. He's still loyal to his old Faction, but he is now in a Predacon Body.
Transmetal 2 Megatron was my holy grail toy as a kid while Beast Wars aired. I had every version of him and Optimus up until that point (including the bat vs alligator set) but never got the dragon. So 2 years ago when I discovered Jiang Xing and their 3rd party Winged Dragon (this character) I just had to get it which I did and I consider it the centerpiece of my collection but I'm really tempted to get this figure now, which I initially overlooked. Admittedly WingedDragon, for me, is mostly a display piece due to his size, weight, complexity and the fact that the more I touch it the higher the chance more of that beautiful paint job will get damaged. But this toy doesn't seem to be left wanting. Good size, complex (for a mainline) transformation, no QC issues, and a good enough paintjob for the budget. I wish given the lack of accessories they could've given him an articulated right hand but the recent leak about a Leader class Tigerhawk coming next year is making this purchase very tempting. For how good WingedDragon is, there's nobody for him to be displayed with as there's no 3rd party TigerHawk for the forseeable future and he's taller than TransArt's version of Optimal Optimus (which happens to pair well with Legacy's version).

Also, if you don’t have him already, Tarn has to be the best figure from Legacy Evo. The robot mode has literally no kibble, it looks great, and I had to stop myself from just sitting at my desk and posing him repeatedly, since he has several specialty joints and just feels evil. Transformation has some interesting parts that are not very intuitive, and the alt mode is hindered by the hands sticking out the back, but definitely a must. Can’t wait to see your thoughts.

Transmetal 2 peeps LOSE the vehicle mode entirely. No flip-out jet engines for Cheetor or Megatron, for instance.

I mean show me pics when done.
After this there's some more reveals and leaks to discuss. So much, so little time... But I won't rush you.

I'm not going to get around to those for at least like 2 weeks.
I like to refer to him as Dragotron

Not a bad name for him honestly.
My Decepticon/Predacon shelf could use some red. Found an original at a Goodwill, still have him

Wow. That's an amazing find. Wish I could be so lucky with stuff like that.
It just the face I don't like in robot mode but that is easily dismissible because the rest of the figure is just glorious

Absolutely, and there is the coming upgrade kit.
I don’t believe it was this good, the head killed it for me entirely, but you know I didn’t expect it to be that good, the promo pics really didn’t do it justice for me, but you know Hasbro, well guess I’ll give it a shot

Yeah I don't like the head either, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised when you get it.
When I got mine, I was impressed by the QC too. It was perfect! Then I went to transform it, and the arm wasn't tabbing in right, I looked at the instructions, I was doing it right. Fiddled with it for about 10 minutes until I realized the shoulder piece that makes his arm go out to the side, was on backwards. Luckily, it's just screwed in, so it was an easy fix.

@@PerspectiveEnd well I didn’t comment on your previous video because I thought maybe you still need some time to recover But I’m just glad to hear you’re doing much better now : )
Happy 365 video! I’ve been here since your mic sounded like it was in hallway and even back then your videos were still really good… except for that mic

Thank you very much, what's funny is that back when it was like that I didn't realize, and then I got the boom arm for the mic, and people thought I got a new mic. No it was just closer to my face.
I got the face and tail upgrade kits for this. I really loved the figure. But some life issues was like “um….we need you to pay for some stuff that is more important.” After that, i sold most of my collection off due to some personal reasons with my copy of this figure in it. So i am still sad that i sold most of my collection. But i am glad that everything is in a good home. So

Man that sucks so bad, I'm sorry to hear that. I know IRL Responsibility is a thing, but just losing the stuff you love hurts to hear about.
The only way to get Maximals on par with the Predacons is to either hope Silverbolt and the eventual depthcharge are S+ tier, or we get toy beast wars characters that are A+ tier. Also I think the only reason Megatron looks show accurate, is because there are no real dragons to make him accurate to, so they don't have to stick to make it real life accurate. Also also, my beast wars collection is temporary finished (may get this guy and Leo primal, don't have Airazor or Tigatron do to not like Airazor's face and not wanting to get bigger Cheetor with out her, and wanting toy beast wars characters) Also also ALSO, how many chibifomers do you have? You could a what's the best with them

Yeah here's hoping they can do those right. I mean the Original Silverbolt was nearly Perfect so that should be easy enough. Yeah that's what I was saying about that. Like they had nothing to go off of but the actual show. Airazor's face buggs me too. I don't have enough yet, but when I get more I will do a What's the Cutest.
