Top 5 Generations, RTS & United toys?

My List:

(Please note I don't have WheelJack, Warpath, or Scourge yet)

1:United Jazz. He just looks so damn cool, sure his shoulders don't articulate as far as some. But he just looks so damn tough, chunky but not brick like, and that white that is so cool and fresh, the best white plastic TF, I've seen since the 80's

2: United Kup. yeah the face could be better (but 3rd parties can fix that) Again like Jazz he just looks cool to me, a perfect update of the old Kup, and his transformation is great too, even the kibble on his arms can't turn me of this guy.

3: Drift. I imagine I'd like the United one better than Hasbro's. As much as I hate the Drift character sometimes, his toy was done flawlessly, he looks proper G1 even though he's really a poser. Nice weapons too.

4: United Wreck Gar. Again another guy who looks the part, he's a little weedy compared to some of the other TF's on my list, but the relative kibble free robot mode and shiny red chest won me over

5: I'll keep this spot free for now till I have a look at the last few United and Generations toys.


As to the future, well I'd like to see them complete the Autobot Cars, Skids, Hoist and Trailbreaker. Trailbreaker we just saw as a legend, but Jazz and Warpath were legends first too so I reckon it's possible. A Scout size Wheelie and more comic based figs like Straxus and Drift would be nice too.

I don't have Warpath, Scourge, Kup, Wheeljack or Frenzy/Rumble either... I just made my list based on what toys I have. ;)

From what I own my top 5 would be in no particular order

Generations Soundwave
RTS Perceptor
RTS Wreck-Gar
Generations Red Alert (love the mould)
Generations Thrust

For me RTS is just Generations in different packaging with a rub sign. IMO it didn't need to happen and was probably a waste of money that could have been used elswhere (by Hasbro, not me)

in no particular order

Generations Wheeljack i think he is one of my new favourite toys ever he just represents the character so well and is just damn sexy in both modes

United Grapple he was my first G1 toy and have always had a soft spot for him

United Jazz he is just awesome to the MAX!!

Generations Scourge an excellent representation of the original character

RtS Bumblebee is just a cool little figure to own, and having the stripes on him just makes him seem a bit more cooler than any other versions

What a great topic and it helps with the project :)
Here is my list:


1) United Jazz - no question this is an amazing figure and with great respect to the original. Takara just does it better
2) United Tracks - Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful
3) United Blurr - I thought Generations was good until I saw the united version. Better paint, and easier to transform back :)
4) United Wheeljack - See Tracks and I always wanted a Wheeljack
5) Generations Dirge/Thundercracker/Thrust - the seekers are better than the original Henkei version. Thundercracker is fanastic and its great to have my seekers set complete!!! :)

What I look forward to?
Trailbreaker, Arcee, Hoist, Dinobots, Insecticons, Devastator.
Honestly, I loved G1, but classics has taken my love to another level. Now its hard to look at the G1 toys with such passion. I love articulation :)

Okey doke, here we go:

1. Reveal The Shield - Lugnut (Incredible Design and Engineering, Character seals the deal)
2. Generations - Scourge (Incredible Design and Engineering, An essential addition)
3. Reveal The Shield - Tracks (Incredible Design and Engineering, Ingenious mold use on a character basis)
4. Generations - Kup (A well executed figure, Original Cartoon and Figure homage splendidness)
5. Reveal The Shield - Wreckgar (Incredible use of Space and Dimension, A long awaited figure)

On a whole:

The Generations/Reveal The Shield/United lines have been incredible additions to the Classicsverse, following on from Classics/Universe 2.0/Henkei/Gentei. :cool:
The sheer level of excellence in Design, Engineering and Execution have been truly staggering with many notable mentions apart from the above, such as Generations - WFC Soundwave, Generations - Straxus (Darkmount) and Reveal The Shield - Jazz. ;):D
These lines have seen many a figure that we never thought we'd ever see and have left us Happier, Poorer but most of all: Looking forward to the the future possibilities. :)

If for any chance one of the many Japanese engineers just happens to read or hear of these posts, I'd like them to know that their work has been truly outstanding and has incredibly raised the bar on what one could expect a Transforming Robot Toy to be. ;):cool:

Truly, we the customer have been incredibly lucky over the past 12 months - Let us hope that it is a continuing trend after the advent of DOTM. :eek:

1. Reveal The Shield Lugnut. (Although I like the colours on the United version more, RTS Lugimus Prime Nutimus Prime Lug Convoy Nut Convoy has more 'sentimental' value.)
2. Generations Thunderwing. (After two decades of desire and countless years of being sniped on eBay at the last minute, I finally have a Thunderwing.)
3. Generations Darkmount. (Finally [again] a Straxus, and he has a pickaxe!)
4. Reveal The Shield Windcharger. (I just like the look and feel of the toy, although I do wish his electromagnets looked like horseshoe magnets.)
5. Generations Kup. (Thanks UltraMagnus - I just got him today!)

Here are my Top 5

5 - RTS Wreck Gar
Great solid figure with a perfect 'dirt bike' alt mode - perfect for a JUNKion :D
The axe head should have been red though...

4 - Generations Wheeljack
I don't have this yet, but from what I've heard its an even better use of the Tracks mold. A pity they couldn't use the modern Stratos for this new mold.

3 - Generations Straxus
Yeah we all know him as Darkmount, but finally a figure for a memorable G1 Decepticon.

2 - United Scourge
A slightly better recolour of the Generations mold. He just looks better with the right eyes :p

And My number 1:

1 - Generations Blurr / Drift
I couldn't really separate them. I think this mold is better than the Sunstreaker/Sideswipe mold. I like guns + swords. The use of hilts/scabbards were perfect. Now if only a 3rd Party created a G1 style head for Blurr. I wonder how that would look????
I'm a Drift lover, not a hater. HOw can this mold not be appealing??

The next in line for a United/RTS/Generations future wave:
Now if only the end up making a proper G2 Jhiaxus figure......
