40? 0_0 HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

so no more movie toys in the US?

40 Generations toys (yay)....but way off in the distance.

3rd Parties must be raising a glass or two to that......

Thanks for the coverage S.

So....movieverse is pretty much over. No Dino/Mirage other than a repainted Cyberverse. They knew this all along. They kept us at bay so they didn't have to hear us bitch.

40 Generations figures? Hah. Repaints, maybe, but new molds? Not a chance in Hell. It'll be repaints out the wazoo.

I'm highly disappointed by Hasbro this year. F.E. received the back burner treatment, may never see the light of day (I don't listen to their promises anymore) and PRID, for the most part, sucks.

Why are they running it like this, this year? Geez. Come on, Hasbro! And having to wait until 2013 for most of the stuff? Are you kidding me? REALLY? WTF?

I'm starting to think all of what's coming this year is filler stuff. I don't know what they have planned for 2014, but it better impress me. It. Better. Impress. Me.

Hasbro? My ass, you can kiss it. Well... Bandai, you just found a steady buyer of your wares.

No Movie Trilogy line in the US/Europe? Lame. Now I'm going to have to shell out way too much for a Deluxe and HA Soundwave. I could care less about Que/Wheeljack.

Cool to hear about the Prime, Generations and FOC stuff though. I am looking forward to pictures.

I know you're getting this information out to us as soon as possible, but what is actually being read in the original post is:

Thanks as always for the updates, the Generations announcement is a huge shot of happiness. Now to figure out who I import those last Movie line figures from... although I am NOT liking the price of importing the HA Soundwave, ouch!

Judging from the e-mails sent out, First Editions could reappear in generations. Isn't that the line they were meant to be in anyway? Just saying, that would partially explain some boastful numbers, though it's hardly definite.

all sounds good. excited about the prospect of 40+ new Generations figures, but can hear my wallet crying already.

if all of bruticus is in one wave, then that's a lot more cases than normal that will be selling, i'd imagine. especially if they put it up online as a pre-order for a case of 8, with OP, Shock and Jazz. that could just be a license to print money that one.

sounds like they know there's been some...disgruntled?...customers following the whole "ooh look Transformers! NO! YOU can't have them!" debacle with FE Prime toys. I did think it a bit unlike Hasbro to not take full advantage of the interest in the molds. Hopefully we see them all back again at some point, although as I said elsewhere, the current line of "in some form" could very well result in something akin to a Universe line of ridiculously garish repaints, so I'm not holding my breath too hard.

good to know the MMO is still getting focus. would love to learn more about that. FOC isn't something I'm worried about, because I've faith that High Moon can make a good Transformers game. I just hope the online experience is a bit better (it was fun...but...more frustrating than it needed to be, IMO) and would like to see a larger range of customisation options for online, but am definitely on board for it because I have faith the single player/online co-op game will be worth the money.

GI Joe news isn't terribly exciting, but the movie designs do look a little better this time around. I may reconsider yet. I'll probably see about getting a little Rock and Bruce Willis at least.

can't wait for all the pics!

I'd agree with you that I doubt we'll see 40 entirely new molds, but even this announcement of 40 new toys is enough to get me excited. Maybe I'm the only one, but sometimes a new paintscheme or head can really sell a figure to me that I've either passed on before, or sometimes one that I already have. Still, I understand your frustration, I mean, no TF line before has ever utilised repaints effectively...coughSeekerscoughcoughProwl/Bluestreak/SmokescreencoughETCcough
