Initially, I had next to no interest in this line at all. I didn't think the combiners would be good or fun. I thought the four limbs attaching to a central torso was an old, boring, and obvious concept. I thought the line would be just pure G1 homage and bring nothing new to the table. I thought the toys would be a floppy mess.

But because I didn't have a "true" Generations Prime, and because I liked the look of Armada Megatron, I bought those two. I was blown away by the quality of the figures. Megatron is so good I'm now actively looking for a G1 version, if only to slap the Autobot sticker on, because the toy is worth owning twice. Optimus Prime is a big, chunky toy with a cool transformation, an original alt mode, and oodles of style. Neither of these toys are "Geewun" but they do have the elements of a great G1 homage, whilst still being innovative. I love them both.

So today I went and bought Silverbolt, Alpha Bravo, Drag Strip, Skydive, and Firefly. And they lived up to my expectations. They are solid, cool toys that transform nicely. All the joints, except on Skydive, are nice and tight. The transformation schemes are fun, innovative, intuitive, and not too complex: there are no parts that need to be pulled through other solid pieces with these guys. And in combined mode - either combined mode, despite what some have said about Prime/Menasor - they make a big, solid, oh so cool looking and poseable toy.

So forget what I may have said before about CW. These are the best toys we've had in a very long time. I will be collecting the entire line, redecos and all (within reason).
