If you could refrain from posting images from other fansites while we get our own up, we'd really appreciate it.

I disagree. Her design may be influenced from Prime Arcee, but in no way is it an overhaul. Same thing as Generation 2 Smokescreen and Energon Starscream: awfully similar engineering, but nothing mold-wise is shared.

Nope, sorry, totally is a remold. I got the pictures over from TFormers, because they got display pics faster than here, and here's a, well, it's pretty bad, but it's still a picture of the robot mode.

Now, I instruct you to observe the main body, the upper legs, and the toes. If you have any PRID Arcee variation, and if you take a look, you will note that there is an all-too-strong correlation between the body and legs of Arcee and the body and legs of Chromia. Not to mention the upper arms appear to have not been changed at all. If Chromia has been enlarged, due to not having super-massive gimmick weapon, then you take the point. As it stands, Chromia is a remold. A lot like Sandstorm is, frankly.

Might be the case but it looks a lot like a remold to me.

Yeah no, He's right it is a massive remold retool, this is not a G2 Smokescreen V. Energon Starscream thing. However, they pulled a springer into Sandstorm and retooled so much of the figure, it might as well be a new one. Sorry for using another sites pics

Hot on the heels of the BotCon 2014 Hasbro Toy Panel, we have our first sneak peaks of a handful of the newly revealed Generations figures! Figures that were on the floor are Deluxes Arcee and Chromia; Voyager Brainstorm; and Legends Cliffjumper with Suppressor and Nemesis Prime with Spinister!

**EDIT**The gallery now includes some nice in-package shots of Nightbeat (available Sept 2014) and Windblade.

View the preliminary galleries below, but to view the full gallery of these exciting reveals, click here!

That Arcee is hella G1. I was kinda expecting her to at least have some IDW in her. Whatever i'ma buy it anyway.

I can die happy now. This is the one figure I've been hoping for from the bunch.

Oh My God!

Brainstorm just made me mess up my pants.

So glad I didn't spring for any of the third party brainstorms. This one looks amazing.

And I can totally see Chromia repainted with a new head as Afterburner.

I need all of them. ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :KREMZEEK:

They mentioned wanting to get a g1 Sludge out? Any hopes of a wider individual release of the g1 color schemes?

News Credits: 25 · Sat Jun 21, 2014 3:57 pm

As an aside, the fact the Brainstorm is a headmaster, kinda makes me even more disappointed in TFCC chromedome...

All the more proof Hasbro and FunPub are two distinct entities with their own distinct ideas.

I'm pretty sure that 99% of the fandom thought when Arcee got a new form for Earth in the comics that resembled closely the G1 self in robot mode (randomly and out of the blue no less), and BBTS had the mysterious listing which included both her and Chromia- well, it was inevitable.

Chromia being a different mold and not a repaint, and very representative of her current IDW self, well that's a big surprise.

Brainstorm cool. Legends that are not mini-bots seem-- wasteful -- yes I know they are repaints which are supposed to be a cheap $$$ maker. I'm really only tempted because of the micromaster/minicon homages.

Countless third parties, and final Hasbro gives us an official 'G1' Arcee!

Now I can think about would be the hypothetical Voyager Chromedome with a headmaster buddy. Honestly a semi-comic accurate head that turns into a little man is equal to or greater than a static comic accurate head. Maybe i'm weird that way.

We got a small taste at what's to come with the on-floor gallery of several of the new Generations toys revealed today, but are you ready for a whole serving? That's right, it's official images time!

First dish of the meal are the Generations Legends figures, whose ranks were reinforced with the arrival of Nemesis Prime (obligatory baddie redeco of the previous Optimus Prime mold) with Spinister(redeco of Bumblebee's partner Blazemaster); Cliffjumper (more than obligatory redeco of the previous Bumblebee mold) with Suppressor (redeco of Optimus Prime's partner Roller); and currently parnter-less Thundercracker, Windcharger, Powerglide, and Bombshell (that's right, he's Bombshell now, no longer Hardshell!)

The next part of the meal encompasses the newly revealed Generations Deluxes, the long-overdue Arcee and Chromia!

Also available on the menu are two entrees of your choosing: Brainstorm (with a functioning Headmaster gimmick!) and Optimus Prime (loosely based on his appearance in the IDW comics)

And finally, to round off the meal, we have double trouble Megatrons! The first Megatron is slavishly Generation One, while the second version of Megatron takes his ques from his Armada counterpart (complete with his classic serrated horns!)

Loving Powerglide, Megatron and Bombshell. The Arcee looks cute but Delicate warrior is cuter IMO. Very impressed overall though, looks like the dark days of 2012 are well and truly over
