Toy Fair 2013 Coverage: Transformers Generations

Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"

Weapon: Gattling Gun

While Metroplex tried his best to steal the show, he faced some stiff competition from the upcoming Generations line. The Voyager class will see the return of true triple changers with fan favorites Springer and Blitzwing. Both feature three excellently executed modes.We also learned that Hasbro has been working with IDW Publishing to bring their character designs to life in toy form. The upcoming Deluxes will come packed with their character's Transformers Spotlight comic. These figures include Trailcutter (aka Trailbreaker), Orion Pax, Bumblebee, and Megatron in his new stealth fighter body. We were also introduced to a new line of Legends Class figures who come packed with Targetmaster-like accessory. On Display were Optimus Prime with Roller and Bumblebee with Blazemaster.

About time.

I'm loving the crap out of Trailbreaker. Here's to hoping a Hoist will be remolded from him!

Still pissed about Optimus being Legends-scaled.

The Targetmaster Bumblebee's a buy, just because he's smaller than the first Classics Deluxe, and he still pulls off a nice G1 homage.

I'm curious about Megatron. Does his fusion cannon plug into his arm like it should?

The Deluxe Bumblebee is... questionable, at best. I kinda dig him, but I love me some G1 homages with a modern twist, and in my opinion, I think the Legends is the closest we can get.

Did I mention I'm in love with Blitzwing and Springer?

Just as the larger-scaled Beast Hunters Optimus was derpified because someone doesn't know how to properly transform something, Blitzwing here is mistransformed as well. Here is how he's supposed to look:





Judging by the difference in headsculpts between Seibertron's and El Duque's on-site images and these, it does appear Blitzwing holds a small homage to Animated Blitzwing, that being a face-changing gimmick. I wonder if he has a crazy face...

Aha! So he does have the rotating face gimmick, I thought so !

That's great news. It means I will be getting him after all. I didn't want that Animated style face and was hoping he had a more G1 looking face, and it appears that he does.

I have officially departed the fence .

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come.

And you will know my name is MEGATRON when I lay my vengeance upon you!

I'm here anyway, might as well:







I am mighty impressed with Springer. All his modes are nice, clean, and crisp, just like the uniform of a United States Marine!
