Hasbro Designer Panel

Yeah, it hasn't been announced but since Dinobot won the Hall of fame thing then the chances have certainly increased. The next logical choice for a toy would be Rhinox or Rattrap so I am hopeful but not fully convinced that it will happen.

A Rattrap or Rhinox toy would be awesome; we haven't seen those two since Beast Machines, and their toys weren't really definitive versions of the characters.

i noticed optimus' rifle isnt even in the game, yet they dont even give him the energon axe. hopefully a leader class toy will remedy this.

Unfortunately there won't be any leader class toys in the WFC line. Hasbro are sticking with deluxe class only

[GoktimusPrime]

That's fine with me. Deluxe Classes are usually better designed than your run of the mill gimmick-laden engineering-sacrificed Leader Class toys. I prefer a nice Deluxe over an ordinary Leader any day.

In the excitement, there's been some conflicting or unclear reports.

Generations is Deluxe only, so Legends class Prime, Starscream and Megatron are all in the Transformers 2010/HFTD line right?

And the same goes for Scout class Windcharger?

I too have been wondering about that. Maybe they will still continue to do other class sizes.

Yes, but Hasbro were saying some time ago that the main line was not just Movie characters - so I guess this is definite proof of that, and begs the question... what's the point of 'Generations' if the main line is gonna end up having other eras in it anyway?
I think they shouldn't have restricted Generations to one size class (probably necessary to not look like flooding of assortments to the retailers), because now there is no plausable reason for a separate deluxe line.

I'd imagine the Generations name will just quietly drop from use after a few months is all.

I think the Generations line exists because Hasbro wants the Generations toys (being G1/G2) to be distinct from the movie and neo-movie figures in the TF2010/HFTD line. As for why Generations doesn't have other size classes, I think it's because Hasbro will only do a handful of G1/G2-based figures in these other size classes, while Movie and neo-movie characters (like Breacher, Hubcap, Highbrow and Lugnut) will get the lion's share of these classes.

So far, we have three, maybe five G1-themed Legends (if you count Tracker Hound and Sandstorm), 1 G1 Scout (Windcharger) and 1 definite G1 Voyager (Grapple). Hardly enough to justify having these size classes in Generations as well.

All great news

I'm mostly looking forward to the Generations figures but may be swayed into the new line with the look of Highbrow and Terradive

Legends G1 Megatron is a big surprise, I wonder if he will be a simplified version of the WST version (unlikely) or a new mold with G1 homages (more likely)?

I hope Jazz and Tracks will have 'vette Stingray and 935 homages

Hate to repeat what others have been saying, but DAMN.. im so excited.

Going to be buying alot.

Cant even wait for pics of Jazz... feed my current classics addiction.
