It's that time again... New Galleries on Seibertron.com!

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:

Great galleries as usual. I don't get all the hate for Windblade, I don't really care for the head, too weird looking, I might paint over her facial makeup.

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

Windblade isn't that bad, I don't like her enough to buy though. If it was the Sarah Stone version of Windblade in figure form that would be a different story. Love Nightbeat though I changed his weapon first thing.

my opinion of nightbeat is a mixed bag. the original mold choice (RTS jazz) is vastly superior, but not for the character. the IDW bee mold suits the character much more. though that bee mold left me really disappointed.

i wont be skipping any figures from this assortment. they all look great!

Seeing Windblade now...

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!

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.

What about just adding a layer of clear coat to the detachable heel pieces to make it firmer to move those parts?

I just opened up my Gears with "Eclipse" and Acid Storm with "Venin" packs. I'm happy with this printing of the "Flanker" mold. The nosecone and peg handle fold back properly in robot mode on my Eclipse so that he can stand flat footed. My Flanker figure is always tipping forward.
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.

Even the smallest of Transformers can't escape the galleries of Seibertron.com. These newest subjects include Generations Legends Class Nemesis Prime with Spinister and Cliffjumper with Supressor. They are redecos of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from the same line only with switched Target Master partners.

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.

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.

The new year continues on and so do the galleries of Seibertron.com. As the Thrilling 30 anniversary campaign comes to a close, we present the last Generations Thrilling 30 Voyager Class figure Brainstorm with Arcana.

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.

We insist, in this first week of the new solar year, in bringing you the usual Seibertron.com treatment for toys. Today's offering continues the Generations streak, and brings two new characters to the site. One of these figures has been expected by fans for a good quarter of a century, Generations Arcee. Included in the Arcee package are the Deluxe sized figure, her generous accessories (two guns, two swords), and Series 2 No. 0021 Arcee comic book.

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.

Arcee is a great toy. She looks exactly like she should. The only weak point as far as I'm concearned are those swords. It's like they're included, because she was too small for the price point and Hasbro decided that there had to be some sort of compensation.

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

Wow, looking at Chromia next to PRID Arcee in vehicle mode. If I didn't already know for a fact that Chromia was an extensive remold of that toy, I could never have guessed it. That's some good use of new tooling by Hasbro, nearly completely unrecognizable. Robot mode, not so much, that torso's a dead giveaway, but dang, that bike mode.

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.

To kick off the weekend, Seibertron.com brings you another installment of photo galleries, and we turn once more to Takara Tomy and it's Legends time today. Check out below a selection of images showing off the latest incarnation of what once was a Macross VF-1S Super Valkyrie - LG07 Leader Class Jetfire! The Japanese counterpart of the Hasbro Generations toy (comparison shots included) features all the same weapons and removable mask, and pretty much the same deco and paint scheme; exceptions are the lack of chrome on the red parts, some additional leg paint apps, more detail on the Autobot symbol and other very minor touches, making it look more and more like its IDW character. Check them out for yourselves by clicking on any image below!

The Takara version looks so good. I bought the Hasbro version when it was on super sale because it was December and as my girlfriend said, "it looks Christmas-y". The Hasbro paint apps seem to homage the show more closely. Was there an inspiration for the extra paint apps on the Takara version?

I don't see enough to warrant the higher cost. I can add a few paint apps and remove the chrome so...meh. Still, love this new mold and I do like the black gun barrels.

Aside chrome :SICK: 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.

Fortunately, removing the chrome from the Hasbro version is so simple that anybody can do it. :D
