SDCC Transformers GENERATIONS & EXCLUSIVES News and reveals

[CBratron]

I'd buy her. And this is coming from a guy who hasn't bought any of the other combiners.

I also suspect there is more to be done. Two colours with maybe the odd dot of blue on the eyes? It hardly seems complete.

One announcement at SDCC is that there will be some sort of animation being done for Combiner Wars by a company called Machinima... but it is rather vague as to what format it will take, or how/where it will be broadcast. (and the details of what the company does was rather confusing, as they seem to do a wide variety of things)

This could be interesting, though I worry that it'd end up an animated comic.

Victorion is uuuugly (but I'll probably still buy it)

If I didn't already have Quickslinger I'd be narked that that mold was being used only with the G2 Superion.

[Bladestorm]

Have to say I'm kind of disappointed with these reveals.

I'm really disappointed in Victorion.
Hate her colours, hate the "twin" Alpha Bravo's... could they not have retooled it a bit to make different helicopters or a more Cybertronian looking vehicle of some sort?
I do like her face and weapons, but if she stays in those ridiculous tones I'm not sure I could bear it!
I guess it also seems odd to me that if she is in the sea of rust she is so "bright". Wouldn't you want to be camouflaged/muted so you were less likely to be detected in a rusty environment? A rust coloured set (and I'm not talking about that ugly gold orange they use on AoE Grimlock) would have been kinda interesting/cool.

[Zommael]

I might suggest that the bright colour scheme of Victorion is to make her match up with the also quite garish colours of G2 Menasor and Superion, with which she'll be a co-sell. I quite like bright colours, too.

Hasbro Masterpiece Starscream (MP-11 mold)

[Paulbot]

I missed the Hasbro MP Starscream news. I still need that mold so that might be how I get it.

[Lord_Zed]

I think Hasbro may need to differentiate more between their in production and completed toys, otherwise things are starting too look a bit cheapo.

But will it be under $200?

If so then this is good news for me, I'd like a newer Starscream to fill out my Season one Decepticon leadership.

But will it be under $200?

If so then this is good news.

If pricing was reasonable... I think it would be between $100-$120 because Sunstorm was $130 but came with coronation gear

That's what I'm hoping. You can still get the Japanese one from BBTS for 200USD, but I'd rather not pay that.

My worry is that as Prowl and then other cars have cost so much in the US, Starscreams price will also be inflated.
