I love any transformer they make that has a transforming gun or head. Damn, can't wait to get my hands on these guys!

Love the Megatron Origins design, just wished it was Deluxe sized! Starscream in Deluxe could have paved the way as a replacement for the overused Classics Seeker mould, and introduce IDW Seekers like Sunstorm. But since Optimus, Bumblebee and Megatron are all released in Deluxe size, maybe we've got a chance at Deluxe Starscream in Wave 2 or beyond.
Chop Shop and Waspinator look better than Roller and Blazemaster, but I still feel these blocky new triple changing Targetmasters are a step back from Classics Nightstick.
PS: Also, the irony of being a step back from Nightstick is that with their legs being one solid piece of plastic, they probably won't be taking many steps anywhere!![]()
変われ! ヘッドマスター! Kaware! Headmaster!
戦え! ヘッドマスター! Tatakae! Headmaster!
Okay...
Megs is boring has hell, but Chop Shop as his Targetmaster companion is both left-field & entirely awesome at the same time!
It's a surprisingly accurate little bug they've made, I'm amazed at how nigh-spot on to the original G1 figure's Beast mode it is and his Bot mode is pretty close too.
Starscream & Waspinator, however, I'm in 2 minds with...
On the one hand I think it is ludicrously AWESOME how referential and niche their pairing is, clearly someone on this line's design team is either cluey, has a long memory or both!
Starscream is a little... Prime-y in his proportions, if you know what I mean, but both Bot & Alt modes look nominal as far as Seekers go anyway; The bloody STAR of this whole thing is Waspinator though!, there are so many parts I can see that look like they're directly ripped from the original toy it's AMAZING!
Waspinator's Beast mode Head, his Bot mode legs & forearms!?! - This little effigy is amazing and I simply HAVE to won this, as it also looks like you'll be able to plug Waspy on Starscream's back allowing one to perform a reverse "Possession" like Primal in Gorilla Warfare.
The other side of the coin on this that annoys me quite heavily, actually, is that thus far this is the only recognition that we've seen of the Transformers 30th Anniversary schema that has referenced Beast wars at all; It shits me that seemingly the best they could muster was a tiny Targetmaster-based nod, I just hope that Beast Wars, R.I.D., The Unicron Trilogy & Animated get equal or close-to the acknowledgement that G1 is (As always) blatantly getting.![]()

Care of RK, we have in pack images of in stock Generations Legends SS with Waspinator and Megatron with Chop Shop. Bio's and images can be seen here
Total with shipping is $44.22 USD or $49 AUD
Sheesh, I know that they are essentially two legends figures packed in together but $50 for 4 legends figures is way too much. Maybe if the figures looked like their mock ups, perhaps but not as they currently look.
Too bad that these figures will never reach our shores, I'd love that Screamer and Waspinator for about $15 total.
Looking For: Wreckers Saga TPB Collection (with Requiem)
What you've expressed Trunks is the very reason why I pulled back from hitting the final 'Confirm' button; Nigh $50 is so far removed from what I'd be willing to pay for the set (And I only really wanted Screamer & Waspy) that I just couldn't go ahead with the purchase - I think Amazon might be the best "Wait & See" destination we'll have until RobotKingdom decides to drop their prices.

That Megatron would make a pretty decent Impactor with a different head and weapon.For the partner you could recolour Bumblebee's minicon and call it Whirl.
