New Official Images of Generations & RTS

Sure, make it even more confusing with the line names

So we have Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, Laser Optimus Prime and Bumblebee for Reveal the Shield, and Scourge and Kup for Generations? Just pick a name and stick with it, Hasbro!

Anyone else notice how bad the card art is on Generations Kup & Scourge? Looks like some kid in Grade 9 pumped those out at lunch time.

Agreed. Go with one or the other! And make it Generations, too. RTS makes no sense!

Yea, so again I have to ask, what is the criteria here for inclusion in a specific line. I mean what exactly sets Kup, and Scourge apart from the rest so they don't get a rubsign and get to be in Reveal the Shield?

Only the cool kids get s rubsign? RTS makes sense, since they get a rubsign, but no other means of identifying them as either Autobot or Decepticon. [sarcasm]So you can't know until you reveal their shield.[/sarcasm]

they all look awesome! i may have to get bee, i have classics bumblebee but those stripes and yellow look to good to pass up

I have no issue with the fact that they brought back the old rub signs but what really gets me is them placing a deluxe class Optimus in this particular line up. There is no mystery whatsoever as to what is on his rub shield and also, he's a G2 design. That last fact alone should mean that he belongs in the Generations line. Yeah, I know that these are marketed (mostly) towards kids but a lot of what Hasbro has been doing with the updates of old characters has been in response to questions/requests from the long-time fan base. That being the case I think Hasbro should try a little harder to not insult our intelligence when honoring our requests. In reference to all of the figures from the old days that they wish to pay tribute to with the RTS or Generations lines, I think they should approach it with the mind set of do it up right or don't do it at all. My excitement for all of the figures they have done for those lines has been dropping with each new posting of info about them.

All of them look pretty awesome, although I'll only be getting Bumblebee and Perceptor. Shame some of the future figures still haven't been mentioned much by Hasbro (>Cough<>Cough< WHEELJACK! >Cough<).

I say quit complaining about why or why not a figure is in a certain line and just be glad we are getting these awesome figures in the first place. Don't like rubsigns? Easy fix, peel off the rubsign and get some reprolabel faction symbols.

That is some fantastic artwork Laser prime has! good job Mr.Anonymous artist!
Makes me wish the toy looked that good

I mean, with the clip system not applying to the WfC figures, repaints from other lines, or Drift, it's an over-arching gimmick that arches over about six figures, two of whom are repaints. And other than different gimmicks and a couple figures in movie style, how different are Generations and RtS?

Someone's forgetting RtS Jazz and Tracks, who both have the clip system.

Ah, so not just me waiting for Hasbro's Wheeljack so I don't have to pay 35 bucks for Takara's.

Add a third. Wheeljack was my first Autobot Car figure back in '91, so I'm especially stoked.
