Our newest gallery roundup consists of the newest wave of Generations Deluxes, which is wave wave 4. The makeup of this assortment is 2x of Crosscut, Jhiaxus, Nightbeat and last, but certainly not least...Windblade!
Crosscut is a redeco and slight remold of the IDW Generations Skids mold from 2013, making this the second reuse of the mold and the first of those remolds to not be tied to movieverse. (You can see Skids gallery here, and info on Rollbar, here.)
Jhiaxus is not only a redeco of an existing mold, but a rather substantial remolding of it, too. (The origin mold, Generations Armada Starscream, can be seen here.) Jhiaxus first made his appearance as a Decepticon villain in Marvel's 1993 comic tie in, Transformers G2. The shortlived run lasted just about a year, but in that short period of time and since then, fans have been wanting a legit Jhiaxus figure and this guy is it.
Nightbeat's another classic character and while this newest version sadly doesn't feature the G1 original's Headmaster gimmick, it does retain that cool flame deco! Nightbeat is a redeco and remold of the IDW Generations Bumblebee/Goldbug (Goldfire) figure mold from 2013. You may note that his comic uses the RTS Jazz design, while the toy does not. (A point of contention for some fans.)
And finally, Windblade. This figure was made for the fans, by the fans! After a poll with various questions, Hasbro was given the criteria the fans demanded out of a figure and it had to be female and she had to be a jet. Hasbro listened and delivered, and Windblade is one of their most unique creations in recent history. From her striking Japanese inspired Kabuiki-esque look, to her curves and sharp edges. Speaking of sharp edges, she touts a killer sword that's just awesome to behold.
Speaking of Windblade, that's where we'll start. Click on any of the images, below, to be taken to that figure's full gallery:

Also, has anybody tried supergluing her heels? I've watched the reviews, they wouldn't look to awful permanently fixed in vehicle mode.

The whole Chinese Geisha look and feel with the face paint is amazing. With AOE having a whole spin of that culture it definitely ties in very nicely. Detailing alone is enough for me... Considering Hasbro's history of missing the fine details... This is probably one of my new favorites...
Hasbro Toy Shop also now has her back available for pre-order / order now. 20% coupon helps!

It's actually Japanese Kabuki theater themed. Far different.

Oh yeah, totally, I'm not arguing with you, just pointing out a fact
I really am excited to get her, hoping a bit of superglue will fix her heels.

Ever tried the Pledge "FloorCare"? I have a bottle about to try on some my ROTF Bruticus and Superion. Other than the shiny parts seems less lethal...

Tried it on ball joints before, multiple coats, but it never really worked (My technique is to use electrical tape). I don't think making the heels permanently extended will make her jet mode too horrible looking.

Venin is a rubbery mess! Almost all of the plastic is soft to the point of being rubber. It's like he's half decoy or something.

Speaking of their Target Master partners, let's take a look at them. Spinister is a redeco of Blazemaster getting his name and deco from G1 Spinister while Supressor is a redeco of Roller. Click on any of the images to see the full galleries.

Nope, I gave it and Spinister to TFSS Scourge and stuffed Nemi into storage.

Have patience, the retailers are really dragging on this. Meijer and Target have been the best bet in Indiana, but even then Ionly started seeing these figures a few weeks ago. No sign of Gears yett

I actually outfitted them as they came, when I first bought them, but Suppressor kept making Cliffy fall over, so I gave up and swapped them out. Not sure why they chose to weapon swap those two, but Acid Storm and Gears are just straight repaints of Scream and Swerve.RiddlerJ wrote:I wonder how many people gave the rifle that came with Cliffjumper to Nemesis Prime.

This particular incarnation of Brainstorm is based on Nick Roche's design for More Than Meets The Eye even though that character is not a headmaster. He is also the first and so far only headmaster of the Generations line while being only the second Brainstorm figure after the original G1 toy.

No, no, none of that matters. How does autocorrect accept Chomedome, which Chome isn't even a word, and replace Chromedome with it?

The other character you'll see below is a heavy remold of PRiD Arcee, also known as Windblade's bodyguard, Generations Chromia. While she is a remold of PRiD Arcee, she bears startlingly few similarities, other than the obvious alt-mode of a motorcycle. Included with the Deluxe sized Chromia are her pistol and Series 2 no. 0022 Chromia comic book.

I still want a Chromia. She looks good, but he vehicle mode is smaller than that of PRID Arcee? Tiiiiny!

Also, I nearly spat out my drink when I got to the picture of Arcee trying to turn Daniel into her head. Well played, sir.

The open hand looks better, but I wish mine was a closed hand. I feel more confident about it not breaking. Can the weapon handles push trough all the way on the closed hand versions because there's a stop in the opens hand ones?

yea, I shaved the stop off at the bottom and it can hold the weapons fine. I don't feel like it's going to break. but do be careful cause it is quite thin.

Aside chrome and price, I find takara closer to IDW and hasbro a G1 deco, therefore I am happy with my hasbro version.

Probably the earliest promotional images of the Hasbro version are what inspired the Takara version, since those early promo pics had the extra red chest stripes and black-painted kibble gun barrels that the Takara version has.wetwithwaterwings wrote:Was there an inspiration for the extra paint apps on the Takara version?
Fortunately, removing the chrome from the Hasbro version is so simple that anybody can do it.wetwithwaterwings wrote:I bought it purely for the non-chromed parts. I can't customize to save my life, so I had to pay.
