The 30 Generations toys for the 30 year anniversary - what do we know?

The 30 Generations Toys this year



Here is what we (or maybe just ignorant me) know of them so far:


1: Platinum Edition YOTS: Optimus Prime (Recolour of Energon Optimus)
2: Platinum Edition YOTS: Omega Supreme (Retool of Energon Omega)
3: Platinum Edition: Ultra Magnus (Retool of TFP Weaponizer Optimus)
4.
5. Orion Pax
6. Megatron
7. Bumblebee
8. Trailcutter
9. Hoist (Retool of Trailcutter)
10. Dreadwing (Retool of Megatron)
11.
12. Megatron with TM Chop Shop
13. Starscream with TM Waspinator
14. Optimus with TM Roller
15. Bumblebee with TM Blaze Master
16.
17. Twin Twist (Retool of FOC Brawl)
18. Topspin (Retool of FOC Blast Off)
19. Roadbuster (Retool of FOC Swindle)
20. Whirl (Retool of FOC Vortex)
21. Impactor (Retool of FOC Onslaught)
22.
23. Blitzwing
24. Springer
25. Sandstorm (Retool of Springer)
26.
27. Metroplex
28.
29.
30.



Does anyone know or care to guess who the missing 8 are at this stage? And do you intend to get all 30 or bypass a few?


Personally I am bypassing Platinum Optimus and I'm not sold on the retools of the Combaticons since I've got the G1 & G2 colours of the toys already. Maybe Impactor I might pick up and I may have grabbed Twin Twist if they had redone the alt-mode cannons into drills rather than just giving them to him as a handheld weapon.

Not sure, no, but I reckon by midday tomorrow we should have a better idea as I believe there should be some announcements at Botcon - At some stage at least. :o

Ooh! - Actually you forgot Predaking. ;):cool:
*Edit: Also the FoC Grimlock & Bruticus 2 pack. ;)

Pretty sure a Deluxe Thundercracker (repaint of FOC Starscream as per his Spotlight comic) was confirmed too.

In addition to the Platinum Edition figures you've listed BTT,
-Chinese New Year Supreme Class Starscream
-Chinese New Year RID Ultra Magnus as listed here

Those guys are all news to me! Well that's nearly filled in the 8 right there :)

I would guess #26 will be the Blitzwing retool (Flywheels or whomever) that's surely to come.

I would also guess that a Platinum Megatron would be included but which toy I'm not sure. Maybe Energon Megatron but I could see that being released as Platinum Galvatron.

Could the Hasbro MP be included. I know they have their own numbering starting up though with Acid Storm.

Sweet! Only 4 to go!

G1 Shockwave's lab in there? Or is it Beast hunters?

It's an SDCC exclusive. ;)

So is the "out of 30" thing applying to everything now, or just Platinum? :confused:

Waspinator being Starscream's gun does NOT count as a BW homage. And for that matter, neither does BW Megatron's head on a Grimlock toy.

Give me a Rhinox, or there will be hell...

I thought RID Magnus was Platinum Magnus.

:o Of course. This doesn't mean Robots in Disguise Ultra Magnus, it means Prime Robots in Disguise Ultra Magnus.

Looks like more shall be revealed later during the panel

Ok, latest estimation of what the 30 will be. Possible some of the below aren't counted in the 30. Extra's that might be listed at the bottom.

1: Platinum Edition YOTS: Optimus Prime (Recolour of Energon Optimus)
2: Goldbug
3: Confirmed 3 of 30Platinum Edition: Ultra Magnus (Retool of TFP Weaponizer Optimus)
4. Confirmed 4 of 30 FOC Bruticus vs Grimlock
5. Orion Pax
6. Megatron
7. Bumblebee
8. Trailcutter
9. Hoist (Retool of Trailcutter)
10. Confirmed 10 of 30 G1 Predaking Reissue
11. Thundercracker (Retool of FOC Starscream)
12. Megatron with TM Chop Shop
13. Starscream with TM Waspinator
14. Optimus with TM Roller
15. Bumblebee with TM Blaze Master
16. Cosmos with TM Payload
17. Swerve with TM Flanker
18. Topspin (Retool of FOC Blast Off)
19. Roadbuster (Retool of FOC Swindle)
20. Whirl (Retool of FOC Vortex)
21. Impactor (Retool of FOC Onslaught)
22. Twin Twist (Retool of FOC Brawl)
23. Blitzwing
24. Springer
25. Sandstorm (Retool of Springer)
26. Doubledealer (Retool of Blitzwing)
27. Skids
28. Rhinox
29. Waspinator
30. Metroplex
[B][I]


May be part of the 30 rather than those above
*Dreadwing (Retool of Megatron)
*Platinum Edition YOTS: Omega Supreme (Retool of Energon Omega) No '__ of 30' on him though
*Chinese New Year Starscream (Recolour of Cybertron Starscream)

So every era of Transformers is covered by something on this list except RiD/Car Robots and the movie. I know why the movie is missing, but I'm bummed that there is nothing RiD coming out this year unless Fire Convoy wins the vote as the 30th Anniversary Masterpiece figure.

Rhinox and the like are 2014... And I'm pretty sure Omega is number 2 or 1, for sure, seeing as the "out of 30" thing seems to apply to Platinum figures. ;)

You don't need to get your pitch fork as the fires have cooled with Rhinox on his way:D

He's been a long time coming mate :cool:

There were rumours a couple of years ago of a Voyager Rhinox, and I've hoped against hope ever since. Finally, long-suffering BW fans got something to celebrate :D

I got the impression from some of the panel reports that the 30 figures are 30 "special" toys, so not including the ordinary Generations line, but including Platinum series, Metroplex, and the SDCC exclusives. If that's the case there are a lot more blanks than we presently know about.

I can't believe my chassis is finally being upgraded! :D I even looked at me today (@ Botcon) and couldn't believe how nice I looked lol

You didn't happen to notice if your new chassis had had its shoulder assemblies fixed did you? ;):p

Yeah I thought that was the case too. Maybe they didn't explain it well, wouldn't be the first time a company has bungled their explanation of a product.

BBTS has the Platinum Edition #10 Predaking reissue available for preorder. Priced at $120 USD, it's scheduled to arrive in August

He looks to have a golden version of Voyager Beast Hunters Optimus Primes Sword as well :confused: -- Either way, do want!

There couldn't possibly be trademark issues with "Predacon Tantrum™" could there?

I wonder why "Torox". It just seems so out of place.

Not a big deal I guess. Would be very keen on Platiking if I didn't already have the last Takara reissue with the gold paint.

Hmmm, Well I only just got Blitzwing Hursti and haven't had a chance to inspect/transform him yet. So in answer to your question, not sure! One thing I will say is that all of the new Generations toys looked somewhat 'premum' in their paint apps, I find it hard to believe they will pop as much as the ones on display. Swerve in particular really stood out in his glossy red paint.

Ah, fair enough :) - Yeah, I wouldn't be too surprised if what was on display were painted prototypes :o; that said, we could get lucky and that the better paint is due to the money saved and diverted from the upcoming Prime/Beast Hunters lines. :D

It would be nice to have a Takara quality paint job on the Hasbro Generations figures, but I doubt the final products will be that good.

SDCC Metroplex is actually number 1 of 30.

Ratbat's in Hasbro's numbering? Hasbro's releasing it?

That's good news. Mine's sitting in a pile of loot at the moment.

Looks like Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus Prime is #7.

Like with Metroplex it's only a special edition of Ultimate Optimus thats number 7. Cybertron Con Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus Prime (what a mouth full). I'm guessing that all of the Thrilling 30 will be limited editions.

This is my impression as well, and I think the running speculative list is misleading and incorrect. :/ Sorry Trev.

When did Ratbat get confirmed?

Also it's weird that Platinum Edition YOTS: Omega Supreme and Optimus Prime don't have the "x out of 30" on them, when Platinum Magnus does.

Yup, the Thrilling 30 line is aimed at collectors anyway so it's a good excuse to re-package existing figures and sell them at a premium price. :)

Absolutely gutted at hasbos handling of his.... I had planned on getting 2 of each for this special series.... Then Predaking hit me as getting included. Well I love my combines, and although I've loved him since 1986, even I was having trouble justifying 2 more. Then metroplex... Well defiantly not keeping a sealed set now coz I won't end up with2 of him...

And now here we are having beast hunters prime in the list.... I grabbed his box and checked all over for a missed sticker... Nope... I'm not getting another of a crappy toy just because has to wants me too.

If they had of told us before, I would have held off... But not making these easy to get is just mean and nasty

I'm just trying to figure it out dude - never said it was a definitive list, hence the constant revisions. As you said, it's speculative and the thread title is "what do we know?".

At the time of starting this thread I was working under the assumption that the 30 Generations for 30 years premise was taking into account pretty much all the Generations figures being released over the 12 months as many of these limited edition figures were not known about at the time.

However to prevent being misleading, since that was never my intent, here is what is definetly known:



1: Confirmed 1 of 30 SDCC Metroplex
2:
3: Confirmed 3 of 30 Platinum Edition: Ultra Magnus
4. Confirmed 4 of 30 FOC Bruticus vs Grimlock
5.
6.
7. Confirmed 7 of 30 Cybertron Con Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus Prime
8.
9.
10. Confirmed 10 of 30 G1 Predaking Reissue
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.
19.
20. Likely 20 of 30 Takara Ratbat
21.
22.
23.
24.
25.
26.
27.
28.
29.
30.

Tea pot Prime at #7? Somewhere, Wheelie sheds a tear as his hopes of making the 30 get slimmer by the day...
And why does Hasbro's numbering system seem so haphazard, almost like it was an afterthought? Releasing Omega & Prime with no numbers, numbering Magnus as 3, Predaking as10, SDCC Metro as 1, Grim v Brut as 4 and now CCBHOP as 7. What happened to 1,2,3,4,5 etc?

Added 2 of 30

I'm wondering if the ACG-CON Metroplex I ordered is number 1 or if Hasbro is making him a different number simply to get an extra Metroplex sale out of the super hardcore collectors. I'm not liking this line very much as it feels like a money grab, but at the same time I can't wait to see whats on the list.
