Pics of New Generations Figures

[griffin]

These packaging terms - Generations, HFTD, Autobot Alliance - could sometimes be confusing or misleading. Maybe it's just only a typo that the news link from the first post mentioned Scout Windcharger and the Legend figures are "Generations" which are suppose to be in yellow packaging if the Generations are indeed only a deluxe class series.

Hasbro in China should be the same as everywhere else, so it is more likely anyone saying these are all Generations toys, just isn't yet aware of the difference/class restriction. And any of the slides that don't have 'Generations' on it (even most of the Deluxe toys), are likely to be in the (yellow) Autobot Alliance packaging. The same thing was on our BotCon slides, suggesting that only Scourge, Thunderwing and Jazz (of the Chinese Panel toys) are in Generations.

These are mostly horribly mistransformed images. I don't even think Lugnut's torso is locked down, which is partly why he seems so lanky.


On AC toys there's a pic of Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy designer, guy in the middle of the panel) looking at the photo of Scourge with his disconnected arms and it's like he's thinking "how the hell did you guys transform him like that?"

Of course, these photos seem to be from earlier hand-painted samples were the joints may not all work/even be there, so it's possible Hasbro didn't want to force parts - they've lately been getting better at Transforming toys for photos.


For the supernerds (like me)
About Scourge's Gun That Looks Like Fracas - this is amusingly insane now - Universe Cyclonus came with Nightstick, based on the cartoon/comic model. However, back in the 80s, Nightstick and Fracas' character models were swapped around by accident somehow, so Cyclonus actually carried around a guy named Nightstick, but actually looks like Fracas.

This time, Hasbro based Generations Scourge's gun based on Fracas' toy..... meaning both of them are carrying around Fracas while Nightstick's design has been forgotten

My thoughts.

The Dinobot combiner - looks good so far.
Perceptor - good idea for an alt mode, and the robot mode looks great. (Although there seems to be a few mis-transformations around the slides)
Lugnut - meh
Jazz - about time! Looks fantiastic.
Scourge - probably the one Generations figure I haven't fallen in love with at first glance
Legends G1 - sweet
Thunderwing - looks ok
Tracks - alt mode looks a little strange, but the robot looks fantastic
Windcharger - basic Scout concept, but looks good
Grapple - too similar to Inferno, but still looks great
Constructicons - meh

Generations and Classics molds though will be brought on sight, without out any questions. AA/HFTD stuff though is a different story.

I wish I'd known this before I bought Universe Legends Jazz... oh well. If I could predict the future I'd be retired now and living a Lotto Life.

I'm in the same boat Goki, It's for this reason I never bought the Legends Class Hound.

I sorta wish Windcharger was a Legends, I really like the Legends size for updated minibots.
'Bigger' characters Legends versions only ever struck me as good for posing with citybots.

Yes, I'm sure you lost a fortune on that purchase.
