Just a single image so far, but since it is from the Columbian Facebook source of many other recent official images, there should be more of this and other upcoming Generations toys soon.
The image just shows the vehicle mode of Cliffjumper, which is a redeco Bumblebee... and comes paired with a redeco Roller (from the Optimus Legends pack).
Yet another Bee repainted into CJ. I wish they would do remoulds for CJ like G1.:(
Or entirely new like TFPrime. When buying movieverse figures I purposely bought Cliffjumper repaints where I didn't have the original Bumblebee versionQuote:

So far, in Generations, we've had:
-Bumblebee
-Cosmos
-Swerve
-Tailgate
-Gears (coming)
-Cliffjumper (coming)
-Brawn (listing found)
We need:
-Beachcomber
-Wheelie
-Huffer
-Windcharger (though RTS suffices, Tailgate redeco might happen)
-Pipes (Redeco Huffer)
-Outback (Redeco Brawn)
-Hubcap (Redeco/Retool Bumblebee?)
-Powerglide
-Warpath
-Seaspray
The last three are a bit different in that they were a little bit bigger than the rest of the minibots in fiction, especially Warpath, who already got a deluxe in 2010. Seaspray did get a HFTD voyager, though some might not be satisifed, so he could get a deluxe. Powerglide also has a Universe toy, though some might not be satisfied with size either. He could do with a deluxe or legends as well.
Essentially, we need at least 4 new legends moulds (including the rumoured Brawn) to get all the minibots. (Up to 7 if they were to do Powerglide, Warpath and Seaspray)

The universe 3 pack of Cosmos, Wheelie & Warpath are pretty good and on scale with other mini-bots like Universe Beachcomber, but would be good to see Generations versions as you say.
We have a CHUG Beachcomber, Wheelie and Warpath in Legends size. I really don't see the need to keep redoing characters in size classes that have been done recently.Quote:

I don't see the point in redoing characters that have already been done as CHUGUR characters period, regardless of size classes. I'd rather see Generations focus on characters that have never been done as a Classicsverse toy in any way, shape or form. Ultra Class Powerglide is a lot bigger than other Mini-Bots, but why not? A10 Thunderbolts aren't exactly tiny. This photo shows a VW Beetle parked next to the GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling cannon that's mounted on an A10 (these babies "bring the rain" by firing armour-piercing sabot rounds ;)).Quote:
