Motto: "Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest ... is silence."
Weapon: Twin Shock-Concussion Missiles

Deluxe Skullgrin (Darkmount repaint / remold)
Deluxe G1 Scourge
Deluxe WFC Cliffjumper
Deluxe Thunderwing (front does detach as a drone)
Deluxe Tracks (can do the winged car mode)

Deluxe Perceptor (sniper rifle, truck, alternate head might be Reflector)

Voyager Grapple (inferno repaint w/ crane and alternate head, and new feet)

HUNT FOR THE DECEPTICONS
-----------------------------------
Deluxe Terradive
Deluxe Tomahawk
Deluxe Mindset (repaint w/ alternate head)
Deluxe Fallback (Outback reference)

Voyager Fallen (darker colors than what I pictured)
Voyager Highbrow

POWER CORE COMBINERS
-----------------------------------
Heavytread (tank) w/ Mini-Con Groundspike
Skyhammer (jet) w/ Mini-Con Airlift
Steamhammer / Constructicons
Grimstone / Dinobots


THE ORIGINAL 13
----------------
Aaron Archer talking about story elements ... (not sure if this is for a future toy line or just Hasbro building the fictional mythos). This is stuff for several years done the road. Sneak peak! Doesn't appear to be a toyline at this time. The following is a list of extremely cool drawings that they showed us.

Alpha Trion
Liege Maximo
Vector Prime (time and space)
Prima (warrior of light)
Megatronus (warrior of darkness)
The Fallen (has an interesting new plot twist)


Q&A
-----------------------------
Interesting bits from the Q&A

Everyone was disappointed about the end of TFA
Slipstream is in WFC
No current plans for different size classes in PCC
More girl toys? Stay tuned! Wink! Wink!
More WFC toys? Success breeds more success.
There will be no toys for the Transformers: Prime series (not planned at least)

I missed two of the PCC figures. If anyone has their names, please let us know so that the news story can be updated properly. Thanks!

TFW2005 says that the tank is called Heavytread with Mini-Con Groundspike. And that the jet is called Skyhammer with Mini-Con Airlift.

Weapon: Null-Ray Rifle
I'm excited about these, but the thing I am most excited about is that they seem to be going more and more with the idw comics thing. This is mostly because it gives me hope that we might eventually see a proper release of Springer. Also, I hope the WFC stuff sells well, I hope to see a WFC Starscream at some point.

Well, I guess no one can complain that they're not listening to fans anymore. Reading that Generations roster was almost as fangasmic as seeing "The Agenda" for the first time. Thunderwing especially needs a new figure.

Only one minor quibble: Repainting Straxus/Darkmount into Skullgrin is...well...worth a shot, but a more logical repaint would be into (SPOILER ALERT!) Megatron's colors, with a slight remold that allows his head to easily pop on and off.
