Wow, Drift looks amazing! In robot mode at least. The car could've been better, but that's just me being picky. Definite must buy. I like the idea of the line being called Generations too.

For those who spent the insane amount of for the import of Japanese thrust figure, or an even larger sum of money for the botcon ones off eBay, I can understand your rage.
I would be steaming with anger.

But all Hasbro has ever said is that botcon figures would not be re-released for sale thru general retail. Which is why you can get some botcon figures off the OFTCC website? But the Japanese version of thrust while very similar to the botcon version. It is distinctly different when the 2 are compared, in both mold and appearance. So this is a legit way for them to bring it to retail. (Which I am looking forward to purchasing).

Since the botcon Dirge was just a repaint of classics Ramjet. I am hoping that they will eventually bring the Japanese Dirge over as well. Since he is a proper re-molding that pays proper homage to his G1 counter part better than even botcon did.

Botcon Thunder cracker will probably never see a store release, since it was literally the Classics Starscream mold in blue. The only way the could even consider it, is if they give him an-extreme paint job like Classics 1.0 Starscream, and not a traditional paintjob like the more recent Universe (Classics 2.0) Starscream.

Also I would love if the do a Sunstorm figure, I am just not sure if I want them to use Starscream mold, since it seems not to be holding up that well. Maybe use Ramjets mold. What mold would you prefer to see transformers Generations (Classics 3.0) Sunstorm?

where's Generations blitswing!

Yeah, what he said!

On the other hand: Classics Thrust, and I don't have to donate vital organs to afford it? DO WANT!

I don't get all the Drift hate. It's very idiotic to me. Anyways, the figures do look like winners. I'll be sure to pick up Thrust and Drift though. Hell, even that Ironhide looks great.

the problem most people have with drift is idw talked him up to be this big player in All Hail Megatron,and that no transformer in the 500+ library of characters could fit the archetype they were needing.lo and behold,drift is a former decepticon who joins up with the wreckers.nope doesn't sound like any character that has come before ,except for maybe carnivac

mm i bought the rotf breakaway thrust to go with classics ramjet and rotf dirge

if it is available at an affordable price i'll definitely get him still - the original thrust was my original seeker. I recall being disappointed with the non firing missiles (it was uk version and was used to italian missile launchers which had their own issues but could be fired) and the legs didn't extend

classics = what i had hoped the toys back in the day would've been like

drift - looks like one of those car robot series molds, not a big fan of the comics continuities either

bb - cool mold but there are too many bees now

jetblade - i was wondering how this mold would be reused - but i'm surprised they went for a new name (i think?) rather than dig out something from g1

ironhide - seems a bit superflous but perhaps for those who prefer deluxe sizes..



classics molds that really need to be done - Galvatron (voyager or above), scourge, blitzwing

Thrust is an absolute need!!!

There were so many times I stopped myself from buying Henkei Thrust and Dirge and now this makes me happy.

I think if they come out with Thundercracker (which is pretty obvious if they say more seeekers to come) I'll buy him and sell my Henkei one so I dont have one seeker with chrome blasters (cant make him feel like the red-headed child).

Just wait until that redhead grows into a young woman.

Keep 'em coming, Hasbro, and I will keep giving you money... bastards.

Bwa ha ha ha, I love this thread already!

I'll come right out and say it, I don't get the Mart-Sue thing. I may work with cars all day, but it escapes me. I'm guessing it's a ricer thing. Personally, Drift is at the top of my very short want list from this whole event. I think the figure looks just fantastic and that it shows Hasbro/Takara still have they're shit together.

Thrust looks great, I'll be happy to pick him up again. I have both the Botcon and Gentai versions and I'm not mad about this at all. I'm genuinely happy that other fans can get this figure. Everyone can rest easy, because this means for sure that Gentai Dirge will come out here too, and without the ghey lightning bolts too. Hopefully we get Sunstorm too. My only gripe with the Gentai Seekers is that they should use the Ramjet Missiles, not Starscreams.

I'm with 1337 on this one, Ironhide looks super "gimpy" (best way to describe him BTW, 1337) but I love that he comes with his turret from the Video Game. Makes me really really hope for Mulitplayer Protectobot and the Omnibots. Bumblebee looks good. Sure fans are all like "whaaa, not another" but I say, sure why not. As long as it has effort put into it, and it clearly does, I'm down. Love that they put the thought into his hand transforming into his arm cannon. That's what I wanted in the first place!

Darkmount will be pretty rad when he comes out, but his feet are just looking brutal. I mean other then that it's awesome. Hailstorm looks to be the best ROTF Deluxe figure yet, and Pistola Sideswipe looks pretty BAMF. New mold, new weapons, new transformation and even looks like a new head mold.

I know this is just fanwank talking, and I know everyone is sick of BB, but I would love to see the OG Cybertron mode BB make an appearance in the Generations line.

Not to hate on ya UP, but I'm glad there aren't any BW characters. Cheetor and Dinobot, while even I think both are ok figures, are still in stores around here. That just goes to show ya fan reception for both kids or collectors. Mind you, that's not to say that the rumored Generations Rhinox wouldn't be rad, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
