Packaging images for Generations Wave 2 of 2014

[griffin]

Hasbro were using new wave numbers for the new year at BotCon, so am using it for now until something like the cases, say differently.

Amazon have updated their listings with official images.

This wave has Armada Starscream (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E4FNVPI?tag=transformers-20), FOC Skywarp (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E4FNVOE?tag=transformers-20), Targetmaster Scoop (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E4FNVT4?tag=transformers-20) and the Minicon Assault Team (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E4FNVSA?tag=transformers-20) (still no individual names yet).

That green Minicon Assault Team can stand in as my representative from the Ammonite Army. ;)

[Quickstrike]

I think that's the idea, yeah.

Definitely want the Mini-cons. I'll probably get Scoop because I like guys that come packed with smaller guys. It's a shame that Starscream doesn't come with Swindle.

[i_amtrunks]

Are these guys coming with comics as well?

I guess Scoops would be easy and any upcoming issue could have Screamer, but FoC Skywarp and the Ammonites would have to have a very recent (yet unreleased) issue to go with.

[SuspectimusPrime]

Very impressed by Skywarp's deco on the FOC SS mould.

16444/9 ;) I wouldn't mind if future Ammonite teams are done in the same green camo.

They could probably use MTMTE #22 for the Ammonites, but I don't recall an issue of RID that features Skywarp with the FOC mould?

[BigTransformerTrev]

I can't wait for Scoop! I always really liked his tech-spec, and he along with Quake and Spinister were my fav targetmaster toys as a kid. :D

I'll be grabbing Skywarp as well, the others I will just wait and see if they turn up in a shop, unless of course BBTS as usual are selling the whole wave as the one set.

[Paulbot]

Re: the comics, it looks like all issues of "Dark Cybertron" will be released with the toys, rather than character specific issues

I wouldn't mind another Spinister :) I've got the Botcon one already, and whilst the choice of plastic colouring is spot on the head is still lacking (and not to mention the lacking double Targetmasters :p).

[i_amtrunks]

I thought Scoop would come with the RID issue that he featured heavily in (#22?).

The Ammonites will have to be a Dark Cyberton (can't use DC as an acronym for the event...) as the issue they featured in comes with Skids.

[UltraMarginal]

I've just TFwiki'd Ammonites, looks like I have some catching up to do.

[Sinnertwin]

Preordered on sight :D

Same :o

I like Scoop. Will definitely be getting him.

[Lint]

Lovin all three of these. Only question now is where best to get them

[Paulbot]

The Ammorites are like a three page joke in the comic that comes with Skids, so not too much to catch up on actually.

[Kyalrode]

I'm interested in getting skids out of this line anyone know when we are likely to see them in Aus?

[Sutton]

They're due out the same time as DOTM Soundwave, Que and Leadfoot :p

Given we missed most of generations this year, I'd say chance are slim for this particular wave.

But then it'll randomly show up at a Reject Shop in 3 years time.

[GoktimusPrime]

I like the look of Scoop and the Mini-Con Ammonites... pass on the others.

[Kyalrode]

That's a shame as I'd much rather get some of these figures than have all of the construct a bot toys we're getting atm, if anyone is gonna buy some of theses from OS I would happily chip in for shipping I just can't justify it for 1 or 2 figures on my own.

I think they may have more of a role to play.

Dengeki Hobby Magazine lists the TG-32 Minicon names as
Runway - Jet
Heavy Tread - Tank
Windsheer - Helicopter
Centuritron - Gestalt

I guess they're not going with the IDW comics' number-based names.

Oh yeah, I meant just in terms of catching up; it's not like you have to read every issue of MTMTE etc

Those are, so far, only the Japanese names. I don't think the Japanese toys are coming with the comics (so don't care what the comic calls them). Still, none of those names would be suprising on a Hasbro release either.

Same here
Apart from the Orion & Megatronus two pack & Trailbreaker, the TT versions have used their Hasbro names.

[Tober]

They're up fopr pre-order on BBTS (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/list.aspx?list=14734) now

[kup]

That Starscream looks as cheap and hollow as the FOC toys.

[Golden Phoenix]

All up for Pre-Order at BBTS.

They say Janurary, which with them means March at the earliest :rolleyes:

Oh come on! That's not fair at all. Give BBTS a break.


It is at least April. :p

[Bidoofdude]

Only Skywarp for me. Starscream's a bit too lackluster (just how I like my Armada toys :p), wish he was a voyager size. Minicons and Scoop do nothing for me.

They do really look good!

Out of packaging images of Armada Starscream (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inhand-images-transformers-generations-armada-starscream/28966/) and Minicon Assault Team (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inhand-images-transformers-generations-minicon-assault-team/28967/). I know we're all thinking the same thing - why didn't they do a size comparison of the Minicons with Generations Skids?! :confused::p;)
