Yeah I'd grab it too; but it's not as close to the G1 concept as Swerve, so I'll happily live without him.

Er that's because Melbourne is dumb... :p

(okay, he wasn't _that_ common here, although he wasn't rare by any stretch)

Haha, that gave me a good laugh. So many transformers I missed over the past couple of years, such a bummer.

Looking at Seibertron's pictures of whats at Toy Fair Swerve and Cosmos are being shown, no sign of the BH toys tho. Hope we can get some official word now.

Also they have Skrapnel, Tailgate, Gears, Acid Storm, etc, so it looks like Generations Legends are still a go and the source for this 'news' was saying absolutely nothing of note except that maybe Deluxe Bumblebee, Twinstrike, Smokescreen and Windrazor aren't coming out.

Yep I'd say that they wouldn't be on show at the toy fair if they were a cancelled line. I would suggest that this rumour has been debunked.

Remember coming across Alternators Nemesis Prime in some tiny Toyworld in a 3-shop town in the middle of nowhere.

I only ever saw RTS Windcharger once, at a K-Mart, and there was only one on the shelf so grabbed him.



Yeah, the 'dumping ground' thing can work in our favour, but that doesn't help the stress levels of folk who are really hanging out for specific toys. Earlier this year I came across a DOTM Cyberverse Soundwave toy that I didn't even know existed in the toy section of a supermarket in Bendigo. Was thrilled but if I had known beforehand the figure existed and had really wanted it I would have been totally ticked off. And of course the dumping might not happen in places where the fans of these toys live.

It's a real shame for the older fans and collectors that the G1/IDW inspired line of Generations will take a backseat to the Movie Generations, though I suppose from a retail point of view it makes financial sense to the companies. They are likely to sell a lot more Slug toys over the next twelve months than Tailgates.

I feel the same way. I wonder though, if they'll be the new Bumblebee of the franchise? They're practically being force fed everywhere across the demographics of the range

Now that the Prime Deluxes are out, this is definitely redundant - every single one of the toys has been released except for Skrapnel and Tailgate, who are on their way.
