Generations Nightbeat & Jhiaxus revealed

[Lord_Zed]

That is depressing - Darkmount/Skullgrin might be the closest. And then there's whatever Drift is...

Darkmount and Drift were never original toy characters. Hasbro have shown willingness to make new molds for some G1 comic characters so kudos there, but they seem reluctant to do the same for new versions of later G1 toys.

I guess we will know more when/if we see the rumored Brainstorm and Hardhead, I can envision Hardhead being a repaint of Warpath or Tankor, but I guess we will see.

Didn't they make a Hardhead out of Universe Onslaught?

Yep.

I had high hopes for these toys but am disappointed. I'll still get them though

[Sky Shadow]

This is 'Generations' - if those colours aren't just mocked up by randoms, then they're clearly 'homaging' RiD Jhiaxus, not G2 Jhiaxus.

Hope we get some good waves after this one. I'd love a deluxe FOC Slag with Prime Beast Hunters #1. Voyager is a bit big for me, even though that would be out of scale.

Proving popular enough to spawn an enduring concept that has not only lasted 29 years (as they were in year 2)

Toy wise yes they are 1985, but they did show up in episode 13 meaning they have been with us since 84.

I like the nightbeat color scheme, jiaxus looks ok i guess, i wish alittle more thought had gone into his mould. Will have to wait and see i guess. But will most probably just get nightbeat.

The frequent cries of "oh they're not very good at all, but I'll still get them" are pretty much why Hasbro can, and will, keep doing half-arsed redecos. The fans eat it up, despite the bitching.

Agreed. I am not getting these repaints.

Like many, I had my hopes up that Hasbro finally 'got it' and would release interesting takes on these characters. Unfortunately 3rd party seems like the way to go if you want a decent post '86 toy characters. Arguably for some 84-86 characters too given some choices.

Spot on Gouki. This attitude amuses me no end
