All of those have great potential, but I have to believe they are all mis-transformed in some way or another. You can tell if you look closely.

Thankfully we have a while to save up for these! I hope they put more Generations repaints/remolds of voyagers into the HFTD line.

Is it just me, or does Lugnut look like a heavy remold of 2007 Movie Incenerator?

[Skyfire77]

Aside from the Legends offerings these are all serious Want!s; I'd even pick up L-Megs if I saw him, but I wouldn't make any special effort otherwise. It'll be nice to get a Scourge for my Classics shelf.

[SJ21]

Scourge's alt mode looks kinda weird, but then again so do his G1 alt mode. Buying him.

Jazz looks like I hoped he would. Perfect. Bought.

Tracks is also awesome. Bought.

Perceptor is kind of funny looking in bot mode. Huge legs and smallish arms. I hope the legs are mistransformed. It doesn't matter though, I will still buy him.

Grapple looks good. Bought.

I like Windchargers bot mode. His head looks very G1. I figured when the redesigned him they would make him look less block-headed. I like it.

I love the G1 legends. Those will be perfect for my desk at work.

Thank you Hasbro for all the G1 goodness.

[bagofshhh]

Wow. Sledge and Steamhammer are going to have to split time commanding the constructicon team. Can't wait to get those.

[grimdragon2001]

well, i like all the generations figures, will be getting 3 or 4 scourges so i can have a full sweep armada. goldbug looks good. the PCC dinobots im not too thrilled with, though grimstone way be a nice Slag

[Daddycon]

I will be grabbing most of the G1 stuff I missed the first time around:

Scourge (don't have any version, really wish I had the Titanium)
Jazz, Tracks, Windcharger Grapple
Thunderwing (not sure on this yet, need to see a gallery first)

My son will love Grimstone. He has Animated Lugnut which looks much better than the one pictured above, so that will be a pass. Grabbed the TRU Perceptor so that is another pass.

I have to say that the Legends figures continue to impress me, especially Optimus and Starscream.

Overall, the Generations line has me ready to buy.

Great more deluxe cars to render the Diaclones obsolete. No thanks.

Scourge looks crap. Maybe they can repaint it as Cybertronian Seawing.

Thunderwing joins the ranks of Movie Bonecrusher and Classic Galvatron in the stupidly small category, though I'll still pick him up. If I see him that is. UK Hasbro have consistently let us down for 26 years.

Power Core Combiners? Saw my first this week. As much as I love Basics, those Drones join the ranks of the crap that are Legends and Mini-cons.

On a positive note, Windcharger looks great. Hopefully get a repaint as G2 Zap.

I actually will pick up Perceptor and Lugnut, especially since I liked Incinerator. So is this meant to be the G1 version of Animated Lugnut? I hope so.

[Convotron]

So is this meant to be the G1 version of Animated Lugnut? I hope so.

It's in the HFTD line so it should be the movieverse version of Lugnut.

[El Duque]

Almost all of these look mistransformed, especially poor Scourge. There has to be something wrong with the shoulders, the arms are way too far away from his body. These will probably all end up being good figures. It just amazes me they continue to debut figures in such unflattering conditions.

[Rodimus777]

---Scourge: Like it! Sure he's different than his G1 self
in alt mode but it'll be better than the titanium and G1 figures (in regard to transformation engineering and fun factors.)

---Jazz: Does anyone else think that his alt mode
looks identical to classics bumblebee/cliffjumper vehicle. It literally looks like a repaint to me...which it obviously isn't looking at the bot mode. Unfortunate...Hope it looks better in later pics and in person. The car almost looks too "cute" for Jazz.

---Thunderwing: Unless mistransformed in pic...probably not
gonna get...Legs sticking straight out the back!? Ugh!

---Perceptor: Awesome! Great homage while making a cool
vehicle!

---Tracks: Will definitely get...But the front overhang of
the car is a bit large and unsightly. From the front wheels back it is fantastic!

---Grapple: Awesome again!

---Lugnut: Unlike many I actually love it. He's got a
strange bot look overall, but it's cool. Kinda like a strong, dopey/crazy neanderthal-ish look.

---Windcharger: Love it too!

---PCC 5 packs: Might get dinobots just for the commander
figure. Constructicons?...I think not.

---Legends: *Yawn*

[Convotron]

---Jazz: Does anyone else think that his alt mode

Photos can be very deceiving by the way they distort visual perspective. I had the same reaction to HA Barricade's alt mode until I actually saw the toy in person. In all the photos and even video footage of the toy, the alt mode looked too stubby to me. Then I saw the toy at Walmart and it looked perfect, the alt mode proportions look very accurate to the Saleen S281. I'm hoping we're seeing the same kind of photo issue here with Jazz's alt mode.

[Rodimus777]

Thanks Convotron...I hope you are right...If not I might actually PASS on Jazz. Here's hoping.

[RiddlerJ]

Jazz is a definate for me. I'm also a sucker for gun Megatrons so I'll be on the lookout for that legends. Tracks and Windcharger also look good.

Scourge is pretty disappointing. I don't know why they just didn't copy the Titanium version in plastic.

I'm also disappointed that all of the Transformers like Soundwave and Perceptor are getting vehicle modes. Maybe the Real Gears didn't sell well enough

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

They look great... although a bit blurry, too. Still, Jazz, Grapple, Scourge, Windcharger, Perceptor and tracks are buy-on-sight for me!

[Dead Metal]

The Legends Megatron looks almost exactly like the upcoming TFClub one.

I kinda like what I see here.

[Convotron]

Scourge is pretty disappointing. I don't know why they just didn't copy the Titanium version in plastic.

Then people would complain that a new mold wasn't designed for Scourge.

[Mkall]

Everything shown here, except for most of the Legends G1 figs, will be mine.

It is going to be an awesome year!

[Samurai Bludgeon]

Damn me and my need to buy any new mold...sigh But they all look so good-the dinobots combiner is so pure win ima have to get 2...

[Prime Evil]

Well I will be getting all the generations figures even though some look less than spectacular. I want to support this line and I'm sure some of these pics aren't the best. I do wish Thunderwing was larger but I do think that so far he looks to be my favorite...well, I'm hoping his feet in alt mode DON'T just stick out like that. Tracks looks good. Jazz...IDK how impressed I am yet. Scourge, glad I have the Botcon version. I might buy like 2 of these guys and make them lower level sweeps, behind the Botcon guys. I do have 1 Titanium Scourge and might as well add him to my Sweeps to then. Perceptor is ok, I'll buy it.

So far with the PCC, I'm only buying the Destron set and the Dinobot set. But I'm fine not loading up on these guys. A few here and there is good enough for me.

Scout class Windcharger looks awesome.

Not interested in any of the legends, so they are all pass for me.

[Crisdecal]

Megatron is an actual gun!? Well I guess they did release a Megatron gun in the RID package a few years back.

But a G1 version in the U.S? That's too cool.

The Dinobot combiner is bad ass. That would have been cool if the G1s were made to combine.

[Sodan-1]

Will most likely get those Generations figures, but I'm really not too impressed. Hopefully as we see more pictures they'll start to look better.

[paul053]

Perceptor is a WHAT? That makes me want to grab the reissue right away.

Jazz, Tracks, Windcharger, welcome. I'm waiting you guys long.

[bluecatcinema]

Interesting how they's eschewed the "classic" Dinobot forms, and gone for something a little new.

[Kibble]

Megatron is an actual gun!? Well I guess they did release a Megatron gun in the RID package a few years back.

But a G1 version in the U.S? That's too cool.

I think they can get away with it when it's only a couple inches in size. Not much danger of a kid getting shot for wielding a tiny pistol between his fingers...

[Flux Convoy]

Those aren't the same pictures we saw at Botcon except for maybe the PCC Dinobots. These actually kinda suck and aren't truly idicative of what we were wowed with (Try saying it five times fast.) at the Hasbro panel. I know I'll be picking up pretty much all of it.
