New generations figures

[Gofigure]

Lots of win here guys. I'm continually surprised how much hasbro is putting into G1. It's so great. As long as they keep releasing them I will keep buying.

My boys 6th birthday is coming up so there is plenty for him to pick from

Some very nice reveals here. Excellent news for fans. Bad news for wallets LOL.

Now that i've had a good look at all of them,
Preordered on sight. Every. Single. One.

Nemesis Prime, Powerglide, Bombshell, Afterburner... can't wait

I seem to be in the minority, but i think that Brainstorm looks rubbish. Well, it looks fairly accurate/good as a robot, but as a Transformer it looks like a 3-step happy meal toy.

Well done, you successfully killed just about the only excitement I'd generated for this recent round of announcements.

That transformation isn't even trying.

Look at it in a good way. The way he transformers removes all kibble? The figure actually looks nice in both modes.

'Thrilling 30th' is now worthy of that name.

Finally, an official G1 inspired Arcee toy. The altmode is perfect and my only complaint about the bot mode is the amount of back kibble (given this is at the deluxe price point, that's forgivable). It seems that the stock photo bot mode is mis-transformed as the actual display toy has part of the back kibble folded up to make it less visible.

Generations Brainstorm looks great in both modes. As a few people already noted on this thread, while its transformation is simple (and looks to be identical to the original toy's transformation), the bot mode is highly poseable and is inspired his IDW incarnation, the jet mode is sleek...and it has the headmaster gimmick!!

Please Hasbro/Tomy, give us more Generations Headmasters toys!

Voyager OP - what were they thinking ...

[MayzaPrime]

Does anyone else find it funny that Spinster is now a targetmaster weapon???

Or am I the only one?

Hehe, the Irony is not lost, I assure you.

There does seem to be a kind of size logic to the Generations Legends 'Targetmaster' partner homages so far:

Reflector is a camera, Chop Shop is an insect, Waspinator is also an insect (and Beast Wars scale), Roller is Roller, and all the rest are Micromasters. So it's possible that there was actually some thought put into Spinister becoming a Targetmaster weapon, rather than it being a random slap-a-name-on-a-helicopter decision.

Brainstorm (so-so alt-mode, but sweet-looking bot mode), Bombshell (and a Shrapnel, and hopefully eventually a Kickback), Chromia and Arcee are all on my list - once TT puts them out, anyway. Too much great stuff coming out soon for me to put down import prices here.
Also agree that Chromia would make for a great Afterburner retool.
Would probably pick up more of the Legends, but I've already got versions of most of them that I'm happy with. On the fence re. Powerglide.

News of combiners sounds good, though I imagine it'll be a bit like the FoC Combaticons where I'll be looking for a 3P add-on kit to iron out the rough edges. Still, that's a hell of a lot better than getting into the 3P combiner scene in a big way (I'm making an exception for Feral Rex, but otherwise 3P combiners are a bit too costly for my tastes) or trying to hunt down G1 reissues.
If they end up putting out a Titan-class Trypticon, I may be in trouble...I'll have to pick up 'plex as well. Especially if they end up being compatible with the Combiner leaders.
