I great prefer the Hasbro decos to the Takara one, as the Hasbro ones are more media-accurate as opposed to Takara's deco that looks more like it's trying to evoke the colors of Movie Bumblebee (minus the blue head).

Like the yellow plastic colors and the gunmetal grey, but nothing else. So that's basically 3 Bumblebees out of the same mold so far without even a hint of a possible re-use as... well ANY of the multitude of characters who share his body type.

I despise Hasbro's Bumblebee.
I adore Hasbro's Goldfire.
Takara's Bumblebee Goldbug falls somewhere in the middle.

YIKES! Surely not the type of figures you'd want kids to play with, or people who don't know their own strength (no offense).

Could be isolated incident, I say be really careful nonetheless.
That's scary. This new softer plastic Hasbro is using is very problematic. I've broken four deluxe class Transformers Generations figures so far ...
#1 - Bumblebee ... a tab broke off first time I transformed him.
#2 - Orion Pax (Takara) ... one of the wheels snapped off first time I transformed him.
#3 - Megatron ... severe stress marks on sides of black plastic where his head pops through because his head was mis-positioned when transforming his chest area and pushing his head through the hole.
#4 - Skids ... ball joint for upper left leg snapped right off his crotch when I tried popping off the leg to swap the upper leg parts that are misassembled from the factory.
That's four out of 14 deluxe class Generations figures that I've had problems with. Very distressing (pun intended)!!!

Not long after the last night's Goldbug gallery, Seibertron.com is proud to present yet more galleries of Takara Generations Deluxe figures, and this time, it's double trouble. Take a look below at the awkwardly named Megatronus vs Orion Pax two-pack, all their shinyness - click on any of the images for the full gallery, and check out their Hasbro counterparts here for Orion, and here for Megatron!

Wow the exact same thing happened to me on the same leg on the same ball joint when I was trying to fix the misassembly issue.... was a bitch to find another one. ended up paying 20 bucks for him at a comic book shop.

As we continue in the Seibertron.com quest to have the best toy galleries around, we are now proud to present the latest produce of the unstoppable skills of Ryan: Generations Voyager Rhinox and Doubledealer! The latter is a repaint and remold of triple changer, triple faced Blitzwing, with a new blue colour scheme and head; Rhinox, on the other hand, is an entirely new mold, upgrading his Beast Wars look on a design by Emiliano Santalucia. Click on any of the images below for the full gallery!

Doubledealer is a big waste of that mold. Flywheels was perfect for it. Even that Megatron custom someone did with it was a better use.
Looks like Powermasters are going to be one line that Hasbro won't homage during the Generations line... I wonder if Brainstorm is going to be a proper headmaster?

I'd so get Rhinox IF someone hadn't speculated a Torca retool out of him. I'm not really crazy about getting doubles of Voyager molds, and for me Fuzors > anything.
Darn Sandstorm for making ridiculous retools a possibility. *shakes fist*

The Torca thing is more of a deep fandom desire rather than anything concrete. I'd say go for the mold now if you want it, rather than waiting for something that may not happen later.Noideaforaname wrote:I'd so get Rhinox IF someone hadn't speculated a Torca retool out of him.

I agree, and I think Springer with a new head might work OK for Battletrap, but the Blitzwing mold is a dead ringer for Flywheels.
I doubt it. Hasbro doesn't want kids to lose the heads of Transformers! (though I don't know what difference it makes with all of the ball jointed heads that are missing in collections I buy).

I agree! Plus this mold was designed for Rhinox!

Nice galleries Ryan, have you by chance tried the Silver Sharpie Technique to improve Rhinox's guns?
Re: New Gallery: Takara Tomy Generations TG-26 Bumblebee Goldbug

I really really thought about it but decided against it since I know the Takara one will have paint apps and I'd like to show off the differences between the two molds. Would love to see what it looks like if someone else does it.

Also, wasn't Sandstorm the original design, and Springer the retool?
(It's still a ridiculous one, but removing parts rather than adding them.)
Ah, here it is: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... art/28094/

Seibertron.com is proud to present not one, not two not three but four new Generations galleries! The Deluxes are here to help you in your recreations of the events in Dark Cybertron, if so you wished: Waspinator, Skids, Dreadwing and Goldfire. The first two are entirely new molds, while the latter are retooling and repaints of previous Generations Deluxes Megatron and Bumblebee; we've also made sure to show them off next to previous incarnations of the characters! Click on any of the images below for the full galleries.

Great galleries as always, Seibertron! (Seriously, I think you could sell me the ugliest piece of plastic crud out there. 
)
I have to ask a question: did you have trouble with Skids falling over backwards? I don't know if I have him mis-transformed or something, but he seemed very back heavy. Some of your pics had him leaning quite a bit forward, but I didn't know if that was to get his guns all lined up or if you also had stability issues. With feet as big as Skids has, I'd think he would be more stable.
Thanks!
