US GEN Slingshot & Wildrider confirmed - with new names

[Omega Metro]

Awesome. Don't need Takara Tomy Superion/Eyesore now.

[UltraMarginal]

As for Alpha Bravo and Off-Road... I don't see why they aren't still collected or kept, as all of these Generations Deluxes are really great toys on their own, and none need to be combined just because they can combine. Treat it as a bonus, and enjoy the toy like any of the Legends that aren't part of a combiner team.
I certainly will.

Well personally, I passed on Alpha bravo because were going to see the same mould again as blades, vortex and probably blast off. so if I'm getting the Takara Superion, I probably don't need AB.
I might get Off road, he fits the team well, and I have less emotional attachment to the stunticons than Aerialbots.

What a stupid fan baiting move by Hasbro.

Nice Wildrider head on Brake-neck though

As a fan, I agree with this sentiment. But I also kind of admire it and it seems to make more business sense. We know that redecos are important for Hasbro and the Transformers brand, but selling the redecos first are more likely to move those units, and of course, selling the iconic characters later isn't as much of a problem because fans will still buy them!

I'll admit it, I totally fell for it. I bought Alpha Bravo and I want Quickslinger! And I've also pre-ordered Alpha Bravo online, so I'm gonna end up with a spare! So yeah, that's kinda annoying as a consumer, but part of me is also chuckling at Hasbro thinking, "Well played!" Played me like a fiddle!

But I don't think I'll bother getting Off-Road though.
Who am I kidding? I'll buy him so that I can complete Menasor sooner rather than later, then still buy Brake-Neck when it comes out! --- like a fiddle!

With Break-Neck, I will very likely skip Offroad. The green's not doing it for me. It looks yellower in the promo pics. I presume Break-Neck will be more grey than black, just like Offroad looked in his promo pics.

If this is indeed an online/comic shop exclusive, is anyone else thinking of asking around their shops to see if they're getting them?

[prjkt]

now what do I do with Alpha Bravo!!

stick him with OffRoad and CW OP?

[Mythirax]

I'm wrapped hasbro are at least doing these guys.

[Akky82]

stick him with OffRoad and CW OP?

I passed on Op, but yeah that's my plan for Galvatronus.

[Golden Phoenix]

C'mon Hasbro, 2 more dud limbs and we have another combiner.

[Jinto]

Well played Hasbro... I would never have bought Alpha Bravo or Offroad if I thought Slingshot and Wildrider were being released.

You win this round Hasbro

Indeed. Sneaky sneaky.

C'mon Hasbro, 2 more dud limbs and we have another combiner.

That's the problem... we have 6 Voyagers in this first series, but only four sets of limbs in the regular release toyline.
With these two, we still need another 6 redecos just to even up the count.
