Generations FOC Wave 3 official pics

[griffin]

That's interesting. It's nice to see them releasing images that were shown at their BotCon panel.

Just to clarify, the images actually show the first three waves of Generations (the facebook page only says the first two).

Wave 1 - Jazz, Optimus, Shockwave (August)
Wave 2 - Blastoff, Onslaught, Brawl, Vortex, Swindle (Oct)
Wave 3 - Ultra Magnus, Insecticon, Starscream, Sideswipe, Fireflight (2013)

A long time between waves, considering how frequent the Movie and TFPrime waves come out.

So the first three waves of Generations is going to be completely FOC? Not that I mind mind you, but 2013 seems a long way off considering how the other two only have a month in between them. I just hope the line doesn't fade away like the end of most of ours do.

They plan on having Prime run for longer than just 2 seasons don't they? So Prime and Generations will be running concurrently?

That UM looks nice. Heck they all do. Is there going to be a new Megatron as well?

Ultra Magnus is great, that mold looks so much better as him than it does as Optimus. Wish he came with a Hammer instead of a sword though.

Fireflight is quite a surprise. He looks awesome!

Not feeling the love with Ultra Midriff. This new textured finish on the plastic is bizarre, the design is quite amateur and basic by modern standards and it's generally horribly disproportionate and blocky. What am I not seeing that you guys like so much? If only they'd re-release Classics UM...

Shockwave is so far ahead of the pack it's ridiculous, he looks incredible.

Meh. I'm a magnus fanboi. What can I say?


Agreed on Shockwave. Still won't be buying him though.

So am I (MTMTE Magnus FTW), that makes it even worse for me.

Would have totally bought a FoC Magnus if they released this thing on the right:

Not keen on Decepticon leaders being repainted/sculpted as Autobot grunts - it really takes the evil out of the original mold when you compare the two together. At least this Fireflight from Shockwave looks better than Henkei Strafe from Cyclonus.

That being said, Hasbro has my money.

Well these Game-'Aligned' continuity figures certainly do look absolutely awesome!

• Starscream: Looks excellent; executed superbly and I look forward to both the Skywarp & Thundercracker repaints.
• Insecticon (Kickback): Looks rather cool indeed; a triple changer that unfortunately wasn't able to achieve it's Insect Alt mode in Botcon's display case.
• Ultra-Magnus: This mold is far better suited to this character and whilst I don't agree with the eye colour, I'm glad that I now have a reason to pick up this mold.
• Sideswipe: A greatly retooled version of the relevant Jazz mold; he looks very good but also suffers from this stupid 'Make the Weapons the Gimmick' gone bad that TF lines have been suffering of late.
• Fireflight: Is an interesting repaint/retool that I didn't see coming; the colours are nice as with his head-sculpt, which is one repaint away itself from being a Decepticon again.

That said, I'll be looking forward to a certain Voyager and a pair of Legion class Twin-packs most of all though.
