Official images of GEN Rhinox & Doubledealer

[griffin]

Released by Hasbro are official images of the next two Voyager Generations toys - Rhinox (new) and Doubledealer (reworked Blitzwing).

I know a lot of people complain about the Blitzwing/Doubledealer mold, but at least it has enough extraneous bits in robot mode that you can make him and Blitzwing look slightly different standing next to each other (for me this means turret up and wings out for BWing, turret down and wings folded back for DDealer).

Rhinox does look good, but not a fan of organic looking alt modes so will pass.

So I know we haven't seen Double Dealer since before All Hail Megatron in IDW. Are we expecting to see him in IDW again and in a new form or is this toy nothing to do with IDW?

EDIT: also I'm thinking I'll get the Takara version of Rhinox, looks more show accurate than what Hasbro has shown.

That Rhinox looks sooo disappointing. Organic transformers have NO place in my collection.

Rhinox is probably the only Hasbro figure I'm looking forward to on the horizon

If that's the final deco for Rhinox I'm definitely picking up the Takara version. Hasbro's bean counters strike again!!!

Not sure if you've read these already, but the Spotlights Hot Rod/Arcee/Hardhead/Doubledealer will have your answers on where Doubledealer is in IDW-verse. Appears to be a straight repaint to capitalise off the Blitzwing mould (for a lack of direct repaint opportunities).

IDW Flywheels would have worked.

Read it ages ago, but it wouldn't be the first time someone came back from the dead to sell a new toy.

^ Good point DELTAprime. Especially considering that Nightbeat is also on the list of upcoming releases.

IDW Flywheels would have worked.

Really hoping Flywheels eventually makes it as a standard release, rather than a TFCC/Botcon release!
