New Images of Generations / Reveal The Shield / United Wheeljack, Frenzy and Rumble, Scourge and G2 Laser Optimus Prime

My gawd these are beautiful.

Wheeljack's just plain gorgeous, even for (of all characters) a Tracks repaint/remold. Rumble and Frenzy are musts, as is Scourge. Laser Prime... Meh. Not a fan of the original mold, either. Now if they made this into Toxitron I *might* be tempted to get it. Might.

All of these shall be mind. I really dig LR Prime mold, but a Toxitron release would definitely be worth the wait. But on the other hand I don't want to miss out & the repaint/remold end up being bad(ROTF Lockdown>HFTD Axor). Oh well, at the deluxe price point I think I can afford to have two of that mold if it happens. Also, if the Takara United versions of Frenzy & Rumble have some nice gold vacumetal work i'll have to buy those too. Well done, HasTakTom, finally giving FP a run for my money huh?

Oh, ho... I love you, Hasbro. *Hands over checkbook*

I'm going to be finding a suicide note in my pocket instead of my wallet by the end next year. Has/Tak how much of my money do you want, Just take my wallet and my bank details then.

Seriously these are all beautiful, I must have all of them.

OMG yes, that Wheeljack makes me so happy. The car ALMOST looks like a Stratos too, with that body kit. I love that they even remolded the wings to look different from Tracks. AND the rockets are now exhaust pipes in car mode, and wrenches in bot mode. Amazing! Near perfect. Thank you Hasbro!

Same here, really glad I didn't overspend on the PE ones. So was the whole combination rumor just that, a rumor? Or are they going to connect in vehicle mode like the Hearts of Steel Insecticons or something? It doesn't really look like it, to be honest. Maybe it was a mistranslation of 2-pack.

All of these are bought! Oh wait, except Laser Prime. I'm hoping for Nemesis Prime repaint.

Rumble and Frenzy look awesome, even if they don't combine. Whelljack looks pretty cool too. It makes me like that mold (which I didn't for Tracks). As soon as BBTS gets the preorders for the Hasbro versions up I will so be there. Next year is going to be great

I can't believe I'm complaining about this given the circumstances, but Wheeljack's forehead is MASSIVE! I know he's really intelligent, but could he not come up with a way to compress all that knowledge in to a smaller head.

I like Rumble and Frenzy. I like the direction they've taken them in. Just need to figure out if I can get past the non-G1-ness of it.

Scourge is as good as bought. I don't think that's a Targetmaster though. It appears to be in the style of his G1 Targetmaster gun, but it doesn't look up to the same standards as Universe Cyclonus' Nightstick. The hinges we see are probably to transform him for storage in alt-mode. Hope I'm wrong though.

G2 Prime is a pass. Would anyone else be happy with a Motormaster repaint of this mold?

If I remember correctly, a previous story said that Wheeljack is actually the original mold, and Tracks is the re-paint. Sorry, I'm too lazy to find the original story.

1: I woulda preferred a more G1-esque alt-mode for Scourge, but I'm suuuuper grateful that we're going to GET a Scourge. And it looks like he comes with a Targetmaster, no less!

This was brought up before too. I think Hasbro said that the gun is not a Targetmaster. I think it just folds up for storage in alt mode. Too bad too. Opportunity missed, methinks.

Also, the Titanium Scourge is nice as a Classics stand it. Although, I think this one is growing on me some, and may make it into my collection somewhere. At any rate, I'm too much of a completest to not get him. I just don't think I'll get a full compliment of sweeps like I did for my Titaniums. I even have repainted Classics Nightstick into Fracas, going so far as to make the head engine removable for Fracas in Hovercraft mode. I just need to trim the hand peg and drill holes in the fist. Anybody have a couple of extra hours in a day to sell me? 24 isn't enough!

Wheeljack looks great, but the big forehead is kind of strange.

Scourge is surprisingly lack-luster. I was just looking at the Titanium version the other night and I think it is still the best version of Scourge.

Rumble and Frenzy do not do it for me. Too much movie look has crept into the shape of their arms and legs. I see a lot of people saying they're glad they avoided the Perfect Effect Rumble and Frenzy. Thing is, those are incredible figures and rightly sized at that. I'll of course get this new R & F, but out of curiosity not necessity.

I agree about Wheeljack's head; it looks a bit off. He's still a very nice looking figure, though I can't help but think that the grey prototype looked a lot better.

Wheeljack looks awesome. Incredible job. Rumble and Frenzy don't do it for me, but I do like the head sculpt. Scourge looks good and G2 Prime looks ok, the just look out of line. The lack of detail makes them seem displaced.
