BigBadToyStore has placed a preorder for the Generations vol 3 book, which features the history and design process of Transformers, past, present and future. Along with the preorder has come names of two figures that will be accompanying the set; Skids and Screech. Sadly no pictures are available yet to indicate what these figures will look like.

Preorder a Book and the two figures for 159.99 here
Preoder Skids and Screech for 139.99 here
Preorder the book itself for 32.99 here

These figures are normally only obtained by thouse who live in Japan and fill out the ordering card that comes with the book. The only hope of non-Japanese citizens getting these figures is through importers such as BBTS who have taken the time to deal with the paperwork for us.

Maybe not translucent but in Diaclone colours?

What about a Uni Ironhide repaint as Skids, closest mould that springs to mind. Wouldn't explain Screech though so I'm thinking Hound and Ravage repaints. Holding off on preordering until we get some more info in any case.

You can already have them Diaclone colors. Just buy an extra set of the 2. Swap the heads. Switch the shoulders and fists. Tada! Instant Diaclone. You can even get some stickers from Reprolabels for them if you want.

Why don't I have any money to pay my student loans, my car payment, or my insurance? Why does my credit card balance never go down? Where does all the money go? It's a mystery! :-?

I'm the only one thinking about them being a movie homage?

Skids and Screech.

The mini-van who's "always missing", and Dustin Diamond.

I'm going to go with the Universe Ironhide repaint for Skids and a repaint of the Classics Dreadwing minicon as Screech. The Japanese seem to love minicons almost as much as Counterpunch and G1 Screech was a European Actionmaster accessory that was supposed to be a eagle.

Not down for preordering stuff I haven't seen,and I didn't care to get the other two figures, but I know I at least want the book. Still don't have the last two books, but I plan on getting them soon-ish.
