Sky Shadow will be happy to hear that another Lugnut toy is being released... even if it is a butt-ugly Kreon. :p

Sky Shadow will be happy to hear that another Lugnut toy is being released... even if it is a butt-ugly Kreon. :p
And apparently there was a tease by a Hasbro Rep, saying that there will be Voyager Beast Wars toy in next year's Generations.
Perhaps that Rhinox toy they mentioned a couple years back?
A press release from Hasbro has listed the amount of toys in this year's Beast Hunters line...
16 Deluxe (we know 11 so far)
6 Voyager (we know 5 already)
11 Legion (we know 7 so far, and expect 3 more to be the remaining Combiner Predacons)
9 Cmdr (we know 7 already)
3 Vehicle sets (we know 2)
Makes it easier to know when the line ends, when we reach that quota.
Trailbreaker - yeah!
Blitzwing - double yeah! I actually don't mind the way he looks
Springer - son of a... I just ordered a deluxe version to try make into a triple changer
IDW Megatron - son of a again, I just made a custom of it!
The other deluxes shown I'm a bit meh about.
Personally i prefer the G1 head you can switch too on blitzwing, but the dinobot looking head is quite cool. Wonder what face I'll end up using when i get him :D
Press releases from Hasbro have listed prices and some release dates.
Plus gives us some extra items, that weren't on seen on display or mentioned at the presentation.
Generations Legends 2-packs will have Megatron and Starscream (with Targetmaster partners), after the Optimus and Bumblebee wave. Also, Hasbro are calling these "Legends", but still calls the Prime/Beast Hunters ones as "Legion".
Rescue Bots 2-packs will include two new human characters from the cartoon - Doc Greene (their friend) and Doc Morocco (their main foe).
Also with Rescue Bots - the release of a "Skylanders" type game unit to plug into the TV, and then you plug in one of several figurines to play as them in the game. The main unit comes with Optimus, and five other figurines to be sold separately.
Construct-Bots - another 2-pack listed, containing Optimus Vs Predaking. The other 2-pack was Optimus Vs Megatron, which I misinterpreted as being two separate releases.
And there may only be 8 Scout sets, not 10 (which was noted in the original news article).
BotShots - said to be 19 singles in this series.
I will add these details to the Wrap-Up topic, and checklist.
I think the distinction between Legend and Legion is a price point thing. The FOC "Tapes" 2 packs introduced a different point right, and these two-packs carry it on? I was wondering if the main bot (or the "Targetmaster") will have an Activator-style auto-transformation?
I am stoked about the whole generations line up, especially that Megatron. I had been thinking of picking up a Macross Nightmare to kitbash into a figurine of Megs but this deluxe looks fantastic.
Trailcutter too, about time!
Impressive itteration of Blitzwing, definitely a buy. I'll need some time to mull over Springer but I imagine I'll get him too; looks pretty sweet. Kinda wish I hadn't gotten myself a Warbot Defender at the end of last year... looks like I'll be selling that guy.
I jut wish the Cyberverse IDW Bumblebee was deluxe size.
