New Generations Figures coming!

[Bidoofdude]

Just on TFW: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/upcoming-generations-promotional-box-art-hoist-and-foc-thundercracker-confirmed-176948/
2005 Board member Juise continues with supplying us the goods this evening! He has also provided us with several pieces of official packaging and packaging artwork for upcoming Generations toys! Most of what we have here are figures that were debuted at this years Toyfair. However, two of these figures are now confirmed; Generations Hoist and Generations Fall of Cybertron Thundercracker. These two figures were basically confirmed already, based on two reasons. 1) The molds for FOC Starscream and Generations Trailcutter needed to be reused at one point or another. 2) IDW Publishing's Transformers comics will be included with future Generations toys releases. To date, we've seen the return of Transformers: Spotlight issues feature: Orion Pax, Thundercracker, and Megatron. Future IDW solicitations reveal the next few Spotlight issues to be; Bumblebee, Trailcutter and Hoist. Needless to say, these comics will no doubt, be the comics included with the upcoming deluxe Transformers Generations figures. Pay attention to future IDW Solicitations!

Shown in the pictures provided are:
Voyager Blitzwing (Package and artwork)
Voyager Springer
Deluxe Hoist
Deluxe FOC Thundercracker
Deluxe Trailcutter
Deluxe Megatron
Deluxe Bumblebee
Legion Optimus
Legion Bumblebee
Deluxe Impactor (package)
Deluxe Orion Pax

It appears we'll be getting two more redecos, the long expected repaint of Generations Hoist and FOC Thundercracker, a well-needed redeco of the FOC Starscream mould.

There are also packaging pics for the various toys, including Blitzwings, which looks very nice IMO.;)

Will you get these?

I'm definitely getting TC for my TC collection and Hoist may interest me, but I'm curious to see how the final product turns out in our hands.:D:cool:

Blitzwing looks the bomb!:cool:

Comment about what you think below!:cool:

I'm in for Thundercracker and the two triple changers so far.

Possibly Megatron too.

Loving the new figures that are not from the prime series.

I am however torn by the inclusion of the comic. If it does not raise the price, then that will be awesome. I feel a little annoyed as I already purchase the comics multiple times (singles, trades and now, comixology) that I am getting another comic that I will likely be paying a small extra premium for, almost like being punished for supporting the IDW license.

On the other hand I really do believe it is genius to get the free comic, it opens up a dearth of new potential customers, which in turn means more comics and better teamwork between IDW and Hasbro. If they were truly smart, the included comic should include a code to allow for a free or 99c download of the comic from comixology. Pester power works best on small prices, and a child pestering a parent for a new comic on the family/their ipad is a good extra sale.

Well at least judging by previous Hasbro toy + comic sets, the comics wont be as nice quality as the IDW one's paper wise anyway.

Blitzwing and Megatron are the only definates for me atm. I'm happy with my Warbot Defender so may will probably pass on Springer and the others don't really interest me. I have my classics seekers so don't need more, and the last thing I want is more Primes or Bees.

[Megatron]

Just the dlx Megs for me. Looks like I'll end up with a second copy of Spotlight: Megatron... :rolleyes: but at least it's just this once as I'm not into the IDW comics.

[DarkHyren]

Looking forward to Blitzwing and Springer, they are looking pretty good to me.
I'll probably end up getting the whole lot eventually though, just for collections sake :p

Oh yeah finally we get almost round up the remaining 1984 TF cars - Hoist, Trailcutter - yep definitely - seeing as they have a varied mould from each other and not just a repaint - wow that is a surprise. Shame though that the deluxes are now shorty short shorts :(. Megatron should've been Voyager size, sigh. Ill see if it looks good in the plastic flesh ill prolly grab one. Springer and Blitzwing is a definite as well. Hmm and yeah Impactor too.

ugh not another bumblebee :mad::mad: geez, there are a lot of other minibots waiting in line for a figure .... would've been nice if in the works are an IDW style Swerve, Tailgate and Pipes. ;) oh and Rung! that'll be sweet as

Getting most of these. Much more interested in this line than the Beast Hunters line.

Won't be getting Impactor or any of the other Ruination limbs though.

[Shirokaze]

The triple changers, Hoist, Trailcutter and Megatron for me :) Like Paulbot, I'm not really interested in Beast Hunters, so I may get the others pending reviews.

Won't be getting Impactor or any of the other Ruination limbs though.

Agree with both these sentiments. Animal/monster Transformers don't hold much appeal for me, though I may make an exception for a Supreme-class Predaking, and I love the Generations line, its always great to see new molds of old figures.

I did a thread of G1 vs NewMolds here (looks like I'll get to expand it even more this year!): http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=15361

Megatron looks very sloppy in the paint to me. Maybe it's just a bad picture or bad photo-shopping? *wishful thinking*;)
