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

[Verno]

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

He's been a long time coming mate

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

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! I even looked at me today (@ Botcon) and couldn't believe how nice I looked lol

Amen to that brother.

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

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 ; 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.

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.

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.
