Henkei returns?

WRECK-GAR!? I was stoked about Jazz and Tracks in Generations, but Wreck-Gar? I'll be on cloud nine all week now.

Wreck-Gar should pose an interesting situation for FansProject as that should put the two companies in direct competition for the first time.

You raise a good point there. Will FansProject be asked to stop making him by Hasbro? Or will they stop on their own? I don't think Hasbro will allow them to continue making him.

Judging by Preceptor Hasbro's Wreck Gar might be a garbage Truck ala Animated again. So they might end up totaly different beasts.

Hmmm, I will wait and see what he looks like when we se pictures. I would ideally prefer him as a bike. I won't make a judgement until I know what he looks like.

Fallback?

Interesting.

If you are referring to Hasbro's AA line: Yes. For Hasbro, Windcharger and Grapple will be (what I call) HFTD, as Generations is "deluxe only". Hasbro has stated that it doesn't really see any difference between HFTD and Generations and the reason for the two was a strategy to get retailers to give more shelf space to TFs. They've mentioned that homaged characters might appear in either line.

I don't expect there to be a 1 to 1 pairing of Hasbro Generations releases against TT United releases, and that would seem to be reinforced by this preliminary list.

Well I raise the issue as there could be some kind of rights clash between the two - remember that Henkei thus far hasn't used homage figures from other lines apart from Classics and Universe.
