Love everything generations, and so much more to come this year

[1AZRAEL1]

Very cool. Loving the Generations figures that are coming out.

[Gouki]

That is a really nice figure, and I might need to hunt down the Classics Darkwing to go with him.

This head, as well as being a stealth bomber is based on the G2 Dreadwing figure not G1. http://www.tfu.info/1994/Decepticon/Dreadwing/robotmode.jpg

Well that explains who that was in the group shot of Decepticons in RID in I think 14 or 15.

But (and I haven't read it yet, just seen the preview) didn't Shockwave kill him in a recent comic? Bear in mind I'm not sure so I hope I'm not putting a spoiler in here.

I always regret not picking up the Universe Dreadwind & Darkwing :(, but at the time funds were limited so was not buying recolours. They are on my wishlist along with Drag Strip & Overkill

[The Scream Man]

I prefer it to using this mold for Megatron. Megs is to small.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I hope it comes out in garish G2 colours.

I see that it will come out in garish colours

Sadly not in Australia though... :(

I think I prefer this to the Megatron as well. Yay. Saves me some dosh!

[Bartrim]

Love my Generations line:D Great to feel the collector love again.

And if that were an issue to me, I wouldn't have Prime Arcee as my classics Chromia.;)

[Sky Shadow]

Also, it's Dreadwing (not Dread*wind*), so it needs a Smokescreen to go with him.

I would have preferred a Classics Dreadwind to a Dreadwing, but he still looks decent.

Wasn't that just a G2 rename, just because/trademark reasons not a seperate character?

G2 Dreadwing was a tank who combined with Smokescreen to form a stealth bomber, and there's no indication from his profile or anything else that he was meant to be Dreadwind. In the G2 comics he was actually the rebuilt form of G1 Darkwing. So yes - repurpose your toys as you wish, but making him Dreadwind is a potentially lateral move. (And Classics Darkwing would be about three times his size.) :)

Well there you go. I genuinely thought it was one of the earliest 'Trailcutter' type situations.

Now they need to give us G2 Smokescreen, then repaint both as ATB Megatron & Starscream! :D

Wasn't it Smokejumper - not Smokescreen?


Self-edit: Bah! I'm confusing the G2 version with the RID version aren't I :p

[Jinto]

Hasbro are really spoiling us this year. I'm smitten with this mold for some reason... I really hope it comes out in a nice green and blue scheme.

Looking at Dreadwing's face I imagine he has a more brutish version of Jamie Oliver's accent. >.>

It has to dude, it simply HAS to! :eek:

This is an incredible consideration by Hasbro; who'd have ever thought that we'd ever even see prototypes of a G2 Dreadwing homage figure?, it's definitely a smart reuse of the mold and though I wish the head was a slight bit flatter/fatter I'll be buying this in a heart beat anyway. :D:cool:
