00:00Despite

00:26how often the terms redeco and repaint are used interchangeably, they don't quite mean

00:31the same thing. With a redeco, the plastic colours and paint applications change. With

00:37a repaint, it's just the latter.

00:40Beast Wars Neo Hydra is one of the few figures you could genuinely call a repaint. Take Beast

00:46Wars Lazor Beak, paint his wings silver, print his beast head patterns in reverse, paint

00:51the robot mode face and shins silver instead of red, and voila, Hydra. It's the same

00:58purple plastic, even some of Lazor Beak's paint apps, like the yellow eyes, white teeth,

01:03and red back markings in beast mode were unaltered. I should address that Lazor Beak is actually

01:09a separate mould from Pterosaur, they're just near identical, save for the energon

01:14chip embedded in one of Lazor Beak's wings, which of course means Hydra has one.

01:20I like Hydra, but I'm unsure if he's my favourite of the basic class Pteranodons I

01:24own thus far. Counting the Pterosaur and Lazor Beak moulds as one, it's a nice looking design,

01:31with decent posability for its time. As I said in my Lazor Beak video, if you have two

01:36or more versions, you're no doubt after the whole set. Whether or not you can catch

01:41them all is another story.

01:43For the next report. Ooh, shiny!
