Blackarachnia Lavigne not true. While I grew up watching g1 and Beast Wars, I actually never saw Beast Machines. I knew of it, and I even have a Cheetor from the toy line, but I've never heard of this character. As vast as the whole Transformers universe and mythos are, and how many different shows there have been over the last 33 years, one character that's only really been in a series that only takes up 2 of those years is not going to be known to someone who's not watched said series. And to compare that to a character that is so well known that he's entered mainstream pop culture consciousness, is laughable. Judging by your sn, I assume Beast Wars/Machines is your favorite series, but not every Transformers fan had watched it and because he's not really reached much outside of Beast Machines, not every Transformers fan will know who he is.
I haven't seen beast machines ( and I don't really want to), but just about any character from beast machines would be obscure to me aside from the ones that were from beast wars like cheetor, rattrap, primal, ect, but you get my point, you have a figure meant for one character but you repaint it for a character that doesn't have that many figures (that I know of)
About goddamn time we got some beast machines stuff that looks like the show. Can we fucking get third party shit of all the beast machines characters now that actually resemble the show please?
Very nice. I was wondering if there was a way of transforming him to look like his Beast Machine model. Guess I'll need to get a flight stand to pull that off.
Just out of curiosity, when you broke out into song singing MECH MODE MECH MODE, why did you sing to the tune of the backpack song from Dora the explorer?
Well he and Strika are part of Elita-1's crew in the IDW comics, so... you don't have to stick him with Beast Machines. Though now I kind of want to see MMC do "Fat" Tankor.
Looks good and a better gerwalk mode. It does make me wish they were a more adventurous with Turban's colors than just multiple shades of blue (maybe some nice metallic blues). Don't like the huge "propellers" are just chilling out in robot mode. Otherwise very nice. Still glad I'm checking out Turban first.
I guess Hasbro's not the only one who repaint their figures into obscure characters
I wouldn't really call a main villain "obscure," lol...
If you haven't seen Beast Machines, he's pretty dang obscure.
Beast Machines was a main line... that's like saying Optimus Prime is obscure if someone's only seen Beast Wars 🙄

Although fairly obscure by most tf standards, Obsidian is one of my all time favorite characters. And this figure looks absolutely gorgeous!
How does he look like with Titanika?
After all, can't have your Obsidian without a Strika.
wow i don't think i've wanted a third party figure this much in a while

Those rotors remind me of the later wave Neo-Shifters.
No comparison with mmc strike?
Great review brother!!! He turned out way better than I thought he would. Damn good figure...
Very nice.

And I'm Here waiting for a third party to make a Jetstorm.
Thrust Tankor and Jetstorm
To show *OBERON* and *TURBEN* side by side would have been nice.
A 3p beast machines figure? Huh.
Just out of curiosity, when you broke out into song singing MECH MODE MECH MODE, why did you sing to the tune of the backpack song from Dora the explorer?
I was not aware that was a thing. Coincidence?
Is the nose gun transparent plastic?
BigGhilz yes
Clearly it is
Hi how are you guys
I never saw beast machines so is this autobot or decepticon?
The short answer is he was an antagonist.
Neither, he's actually a Vehicon (not the Prime version though).
Autobot who later served Megatron.
He was loyal to Cybertron and by extension, whoever was in control of Cybertron.
I like Obsidian, I like this mold.
Hated Beast Machines, so if any I'll probably grab Turben as part of a MTMTE/Lost Light collection
Well he and Strika are part of Elita-1's crew in the IDW comics, so... you don't have to stick him with Beast Machines.
Though now I kind of want to see MMC do "Fat" Tankor.
True, but I'm picky. I almost never by repaints/remolds (The seekers being the only real exception)
Since when does obsidian have feet?
Since his original toy.
Looks good and a better gerwalk mode. It does make me wish they were a more adventurous with Turban's colors than just multiple shades of blue (maybe some nice metallic blues).
Don't like the huge "propellers" are just chilling out in robot mode. Otherwise very nice. Still glad I'm checking out Turban first.
shadowscribe but the "propellers" were in that position in the original toy
Definitely prefer Turban to this one.
Who's this?
M. Bison obsidian
M. Bison Obsidian from Beast Machines
Never had first comment before. Not as thrilling as I thought it would be.
Stelios Stamatialis lol
Think I like Whirl better.
