The size difference between the new reduced Legends (no longer 2-packs), and the new Legions from RID. The pricing between the two are US$10 for Generations and US$6 for the RID.... so expect a similar gap in pricing here.


The size difference of the Generations toys to some recent other toys.


This group shot includes the two HyperChange (3-step) Grimlock and Bumblebee on the right, with the Warrior class (same size as Deluxe Arcee) and the Legion class.
I grouped toys of the same characters to show any size and sculpting differences.


The first wave of One-Steps and Tiny Titans are on their way to me, so I'll try to do up some more group shots of each character.

So far, I haven't been too disappointed by the toys so far, because I wasn't expecting them to be anything spectacular. The Deluxe cars were very panel-heavy, requiring a lot of lining up of tabs to panels, which can cause other panels and tabs to pop out if a single thing is just a little out of alignment.
The Legion Bumblebee was also one I had trouble with getting tabs to stay attached, as you can sort of see in the photo above with the legs (front of car) not staying together.
Warrior Grimlock was probably the most disappointing of the Warrior four, as it took a bit to figure out where the robot legs go in dino mode... and still looks very deformed when I did end up getting it right.

One positive surprise was the 3-step Grimlock, as it is a really unique transformation that doesn't feel like a "simple" 3-steps. And it scales better to the Warrior class if you want a larger Grimlock toy to play with or display as the main cast.

The Legion class was more complex than I was expecting... and felt like they were almost as complex as the Warrior class, which makes them more difficult to transform with big fat adult fingers.
It was actually interesting to see that the Legion toys had instruction sheets that were bigger than the instruction steps on the back of the Warrior card-backs.

Probably the most disappointing thing is the lack of character range in the first wave.
We have so many recurring characters in wave one that could have been swapped over with wave 2 toys that aren't characters in wave 1 (like Drift and Fixit) or are major characters that have just one convertible toy (Sideswipe, Underbite) compared to EIGHT Bumblebees, six Steeljaws, four Optimus, and four Strongarms... just in Wave One.
