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.

Love the Generations stuff from the Anniversary line, nothing from this year though. 2014 will be a great year.

Springer is looking better after my initial disappointment that he looks nothing like the FoC artwork.

I still think Blitz looks like a brick. That's one more Blitz available to you guys.

I am liking Megatron. Art I've seen suggests some kind of energy blades instead of a cannon but he still looks fine.

To the one who said Springer is "the poor man's Defender", considr yourself slapped in the face, because this guy is BUY ON SIGHT! And to all the Blitzwing fans, happy now?

Also, about time we get some IDW figures, and a proper Orion Pax figure.

And I bet he doesn't have the weak knees of a ninety year old man.

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'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!
