Transformers Reveal the Shield Packaging revealed
Apparently the new deluxe figures will not contain the Generations subline name (nor the current Autobot Alliance line), but will retain the yellow packaging look with Reveal the Shield. Wave 4 of the deluxes (Jazz, Tracks, Fallback and Mindset) in packaging:

This is insanity. There doesn't seem to be any sort of coherence at all when it comes to lines.

Ummm....isn't putting all the toys into the same packaging coherence?
Anyhoo....Jazz And Tracks, can't wait for 2011. I mean, one year to the Apocalypse but Jazz AND Tracks. And Perceptor, and Wreck-Gar. Sweet.

Tracks was the only one of those four that was supposed to be in Generations anyway, so we could still have Generations... I'm not seeing anywhere yet that officially says this 'Reveal the Shield' subline is replacing Generations as well.
To me it looks like 'RtS' is just replacing the 'HftD' sub-logo, for the remaining six months of pre-movie toys. (I am happy to be corrected on this though)

RTS seems to do with rub symbols.
The only confusion for me right now is what is out and what is coming.

You are right, there is coherence in the consistency of chaos. I wonder if in 3 months time they'll change the Reveal the Shield line to something else and why not call them RPMs next time around?Originally Posted by Tallestblue

From what I understand, all of these figures (Generations, Movie-looking guys and actual Movie characters) were all part of the same line. Hasbro created Generations as a means to get more products on shelves at the same time as the more retailer-attractive yellow box line.
I think there was just a larger number of figures initially than they could fit into the yellow box line, and now that the glut has been cleared out, they're reformed under the yellow packaging with the rubsign gimmick.
It's basically just like the old Universe line now, except without an obvious "G1 SERIES" or something blurb.
