Thoughts on the recent Generations toys?

If you're specifically looking for the girl Transformers then also consider looking at the Takara Tomy LG figures (although obviously they'll probably be a little more expensive than the Hasbro ones) - they are better looking than the Hasbro Generations figures according to my 11 year old Transformer collecting daughter (and I agree with her) and you can also get Nightbird, Slipstream and Black Arachnia to increase the girl-count.

Same answer as before - a mixed bag (but usually decent), and I advise checking out the reviews for individual pieces you're interested in.

I like all the ones I have, and they do seem to be more 'play-friendly' than earlier Classics-y figures, though less so than the Combiner Wars. I find Skids a little limited, and I wouldn't entirely recommend Rhinox for play, but they're all workable and the Legends class figures are surprisingly enjoyable. The upcoming Titan Wars series looks pretty play-friendly as well.
If you're looking for Classics-esque older figures, my recommendations include: Deluxe-class Cyclonus, Deluxe-class Thunderwing and/or Sky Shadow, Generations/War for Cybertron Soundwave (and indeed a lot of the WfC-based standalone figures), any of the Classics Seeker mold (Starscream is probably the easiest/cheapest to find), and a surprising amount of the non-screen characters from the Hunt for the Deceptions line.

Yeah I like the look of the Titans return line but I'm just a bit wary of the kids losing the heads. I will check out the other suggestions as well. thanks

Yeah, I will definitely need to get these ones I think. Gives me an even number as well, 3 each
