Red Alert's head is red in the cartoons, but it's black on the original G1 toy.

oh now i see...
so takara's is always toon accurate,whereas hasbro's
is more 'g1-toys' accurate it seems...
i mean,look at universe cyclonus....

Well, all I can say is I've been on this website since botcon started and man! soooo many good things to come and the buck doesnt stop there, from what can see and hear from what everyone has posted and sent pics of, we have a great line coming from Hasbro and hopefull they keep up the good job.

Now, down to business about everything Gen-line.

Blurr is great, yeah there should be some kibble improvement here and there, but at least we got him.

Red Alert is nice, but i have the Henkei version which too me its much nicer and has better detailing, but its nice for Hasbro to bring Red Alert out for us and for thoughs who missed the Henkei version and or didnt want to pay the higher price.

Plus i know theres more to come like Jazz, wheeljack and Grapple and Scourge from what im hearing. All i can say is if Scourge is coming out im buying 5 or 6 of this guy.

WFC figures: So far the Megatron and Soundwave look awesome, but Prime and BB doesnt interest me. Maybe only Depections for the WFC line for me.

Even though i swore nothing movie-ish from the HFTD line, but Sea Spray, Payload and Banzaitron look good i think. Sea Spray can fit into my Classic/Gen-line i believe, Payload im turning into Landfill (kitbash) and Banzaitron will be a Shadow warrior version of Bludgeon, like Shadow Cmdr Megs. Just really like Banzaitron colors in alt mode and in bot mode for some reason...

I guess only time will tell what other surprise Hasbro holds for us in the near future.


Until all are one.....

Now I really hope they do not release Thundercracker in the Generations line, all these characters that have been released are taking up spots for more characters they could have added in the classics line.

How can you say that! What about people that have just started collecting or people that have a budget! I'm sure most of us like myself have bills, a mortgage and most of all a family to support, not everyone has a disposable income for Transformers, but if you do, that fine im sure all of us wish we had that, but back to the point, Hasbro should make TC for the Gen-line and that way the Seeker line can be complete and people who has budget doesn't have to worry about spending over a certain amount for just one figure.

Hehe, maybe someday Astrotrain will finally be able to reach the side grip of the gun! You can do it, Astrotrain!

He just needs some encouragement. Go Astrotrain!

It's because the Dirge and Thrust figures made from what was initially the Classics Starscream mold were meant to be BotCon '07 exclusive. The controversy was over the fact that TakaraTomy released them in the Henkei line. Those figures were further retooled (so that they're different from the BotCon '07 figures), however, and the Generations figures are repaints of what was released in the Henkei line. Edit: to give an example of what I mean, BotCon Dirge was a straight repaint of Classics Ramjet, where as the mold used for Henkei and Gen was given different wings. Nearer to G1 Dirge than what Ramjet's wings would have allowed for.

Yeah, but this Henkei/Generations Dirge is wicked better with the redone wings.
I own Botcon Dirge, so I'm not antagonizing or anything, ok, but I cannot wait of Generations Thrust and Dirge. Own BC Thrust too, but I'm a Seeker fanatic, so they could release Seekers in a million different lines and I'd still buy them.
Wheeee Generations, I cannot wait.

Also, if I had to guess, I'd think the 'controversial' part is kind of like "Still?" in reference to Botcon Dirge. Like, if you 'still' think this is a big deal....I don't know, that's how I read it. Some people are still upset about it, but I don't know.

It's been long enough since the Henkei figures that I don't think it's a big deal anymore. I just figured he was asking why Dirge was controversial, and I was just explaining what I believe it was.

I missed out on the BotCon figures (and I'm willing to bet I'm not gonna be able to afford buying from eBay), so Henkei and Gen are the options I have for these guys. I'm going Gen because I like the deco better than for Henkei, and I won't have to pay shipping because I'll be able to grab them from Wal-Mart or Target when I see them on pegs.

Really looking forward to Generations as well. Jury's still out on Megatron, Soundwave and Darkmount for me, but most others I know about are gonna get bought.

I completely understand. I was doing the same. I was trying to say that some people are still stuck on the Botcon Seeker 'issue' but I don;t think it's a big deal anymore either, even though I own a Botcon set. Sorry if I was unclear or anything. I think you and I are saying the same thing, to be honest.

Seems like that's been happening to me a whole bunch lately.
