Site sponsor Robotkingdom has updated their pre-order with new in-package images of Transformers Generations Deluxe Waspinator, Goldfire, Dreadwing, and Skids. According to Robotkingdom these are available now in both full cases of eight or sets of four. Check out the images mirrored below.

They all look excellent.

Based on those covers, the following are guesses as to which comic issues are included with each toy:

Dreadwing - RID #17
Goldfire - RID #18
Waspinator - RID #19
Skids - MTMTE #22

Waspinator is the only one i plan on getting, goldbug & skids look good but unless hasbro changes their ways they're getting very little of my money.

Poor old Waspinator.

Is it just me or does Skids look to be the biggest out of the lot?

He does look the biggest but I think that is due to the upper torso, those shoulders and wings are quite wide.

Is it just me, or did they change Goldbug's stock photography for his packaging? It looks different to me, I swear.

Waspinator: I can not wait to get him!

Skids: Not crazy about the mold or the color choice, but I need a Classics-verse Skids for my display.

Goldfire and Dreadwing: I already have BB and Megatron, and the molds really aren't that great. I'll pass on these two.

This will be the first time I'm buying the entire wave of a line in two years. Everyone looks great here.

This.

These are just too good to pass up.

Packaging looks amazing! so hard to take these comic figures out of the packaging so far.. makes me want to get two sets.

Not a huge fan of this IDW BB mold, so Goldfire is my least favorite (I already have the United BB w/ Beelzeboss Goldbug Upgrade, which is more Classics-y). I also thing Dreadwing makes WAY better use of this mold than Megatron.

Whatever... gotta catch 'em all!

Skids' shoulder articulation still concerns me. May have to wait until some in hand images or video reviews to consider my purchase.

What's that you say? You like the in-package images, but you would rather see them freed from their plastic prisons? We can oblige! Well, we can for two of the four, but luckily it's the two new molds from the series, Waspinator and Skids! b8921061 of the HK-TF boards has posted the first in-hand images of the eagerly awaited duo. Enjoy the images mirrored below. Waspinator and Skids along with Goldfire and Dreadwing make up the next series of Transformers Generations Deluxes, which will hopefully be showing up at retails sooner than later.

Want to see more of Takara Waspinator before I decide which to get.

The amount of firepower Skids brings is insane for a Deluxe Autobot. Both he and Waspinator are looking very sharp.

Still concerned about Skid's apparently limited shoulders. Need to see more before deciding.

Waspinator's thorax is a mess, but his robot mode is simply divine.

Is Goldfire supposed to kinda look like Movie Bumblebee? The face, I mean.

It's based on G1 Goldbug's head:



And by the by, it's based on the original head design of the G1 Bumblebee toy:

Me want poor Waspinatorrrrrrrrrrrzzzz Nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwzzz! Bzzzz Bzzzz

~reluctantyouth~

Well, that didn't take very long.

I'm still sold on these and the others.

These are the only 2 hasbro figures i've wanted since Springer & Blitz i like the hasbro waspinator colours myself and i'll wait to see what takara do with skids.

Those shoulders are worrisome, but I'll still get Skids. I like how his feet have the actual car wheels on the bottom and not fake ones like Hasbro has been known to do lately.

Waspinator is a pass only because I don't collect BW characters. He looks pretty good though.

Why did the photographer rip off the legs of Skids and take a pic of that?
Why didn't he do the same to Waspinator, the bot that gets blown the f**k up in almost every episode he's in?

Waspinator is awesome!

I took the liberty of translating the caption, and guess what: he claims Skids has missassembled hip joints.
