Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.
Our Transformers Generations gallery from the Hasbro display case at the BotCon 2013 dealer room is now live. The figures on display include the Legends Class assortment with Targetmaster-like partners, the upcoming IDW style Deluxes that come packed with Transformers Spotlight comics, Triple Changers, and of course Titan Class Metroplex. Speaking of Metroplex, BBTS had a limited supply of the big guy on hand and for sale! We picked one up did a couple of quick poses. The full Transformers Generations gallery can be viewed by clicking here.
Thanks tot he Generations line I may well end up buying more figures in one season than I have in the last 3 years combined. The only 'maybes' on this list are Legends 'Bee and Starscream, Deluxe class 'Bee (and that's a weak maybe) and Metroplex. Everything else is going to be bought on sight. I'm glad I didn't shell out a bunch during the first part of the season. Focused instead on tracking down the few remaining TRU China exclusives that I was able to find instead. Now I have some breathing room before these new ones hit retail in full force.

Excellent poses on that Metro, guys!
But am I the only one who pictured him more in statuesque poses and covered in mini-cons? I don't know why, but Metroplex always seemed so large and massive that I feel he shouldn't move all that much, or at the very least move slowly and in well-thought-out actions.
I'm pretty pumped that the Generations line is seeing so much action! But I guess that's to be expected with the 30th anniversary around the corner!
That Megatron looks BADASS! Bummed he's a tank and not a gun... but I doubt we'll ever see a proper gun alt mode again, anyway!

Can't wait to start seeing Thrilling 30 toys in retail. Thundercracker, Hoist, Trailbreaker, Orion Pax, and several of the Legends Targetmasters especially.

Cool Metroplex shots lol. At least you posed his "horns" in the upright position as opposed to how the Has-Staff set him up in the glass case. So I take it you or Ryan just went ahead and bought one from the big-bad table?
Also, just to clarify...the glass cases seem to be missing deluxe class versions of stealth jet megatron (partnered with Orion Pax) that we saw @ New York toyfair, and no Generations Ratbat? I'm a little surprised.
So looking forward to that Thundercracker. I have a Japanese FoC Skywarp and 'Cracker will complete me. Unless Hasbro is going to offer a Skywarp then I will feel shame.
Metroplex looks cool, but I can't believe they didn't paint his face at all. Kinda really needs some silver on there. Looking forward to new reveals tomorrow!
Like a lot of you, I'm going to try my best to get the SDCC Metroplex from HTS. If it's really only $149.99 plus s+h, that's not bad at all. I'm also very curious what the Predacon Rising exclusive might be.
I like a lot of the Thrilling 30 deluxes: Orion Pax and Megatron, especially. I like how Bumblee looks, but I noticed the one in package didn't have the black stripes on his chest/hood/etc. whereas the car and bot on display did. Even the packaging shows the black stripes. I'm very curious which we'll actually see. Nearly every Bee released since the first TF movie has had black stripes, so that would be very odd if he's plain.
I'm just a bit confused....if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it... Of all the pictures I've seen of Generations Metroplex, the vast majority show him with white shins and shoulders, yet these pictures show he's got black shins and shoulders. Is this a last-minute change to the retail mass-release, or is this the SDCC version..?
Cheers for the excellently posed photos of Metroplex. The simple fact that he can pull those kind of poses gives me hope that this guy might actually be worth it. Would you say he is El Duque?
I'm hoping that whichever third party produces a set of yellow wings for Hoist, they join them in with a roof cover for his cab. It looks unfinished with (what I'm assuming is) his head folded down like that.
