My hope is for Oil Slick with a Cy-Kill Walmart exclusive like Fracture.

It's funny you say Oil Slick, because immediately I thought Oil Slick, too. Makes me wonder what the second head sculpt is.

I think if Hasbro sculpts it right the repaint head could totally work for both Oil Slick and Cy-Kill!

In the pick are OS, C-K and the original black repaint of Cy-Kill from the GoBots line:

Ditto. Also wasn't there talk of a Generations Arcee?

WIN. I love Cy-Kill & most Machine Robo, even Mugenbine. I pray as well for a Generations Blitzwing, he's my favorite triple changer.

Me too, Astrotrain and Octane are sad without their best buddy to wreak havoc with! I'm sure they'll make him, it doesn't make sense to make the other two and not him.

When this comes out in the US, i will be MAD!!!
When this comes out in the UK, i will be BROKE!!!
Will buy at the very LEAST two Then maybe som more when they inevitably repaint/retool.




For Once hasblo has made me very happy.
Ohh..., but if they do a NEST voyagers on us...

Also, good eye on the connections, Trikeboy!

Clear red variant?

I'm hoping for black hole versions of Cyclonus, Wreck-Gar, and Ultra Magnus. But first we have to actually get a real Ultra Magnus toy, not to mention it'd be nice to have the Quints as well. Unfortunately, Hasbro doesn't seem to think that we actually might want non-transforming characters from the cartoons or movies.

Freakin spectacular. Will be buying this for sure. Pretty clean looking figure and the fact that he can ride himself, as noted in Nuclear Convoy's post....just plain cool.

There's a joke to be made here, but I'm just going to let it go.

But they gave us Energon Alpha-Q. Seems like they would be willing to do at the very least a judge Quint.

I'm pretty certain we're getting Kup per a "cough*kup*cough" comment from Hasbro at BotCon 2010. Need a proper Ultra Magnus as well -- City Commander doesn't count in my book (even though I love it).

I'm starting to think that they're doing all of this to lead up to a proper Hasbro made Arcee toy. After seeing Wreck-Gar, I've got a ton of hope for an Arcee toy now.

Yeah, I nearly fell out of my seat when he made that "comment"! But I was beginning to wonder, since we haven't seen or heard anything since. They even said a couple of slides were pulled from the reveals last minute, didn't they? I expected to have seen them by now...maybe W-G was one of them. Perhaps you're on to something...maybe they are building up excitement for an Arcee toy.

I totally agree on Ultra Magnus. As awesome as FansProject's products are, I would still buy Hasbro's version. I hope they know that.

Oh yeah, I'd buy a Hasbro Magnus too. I'd just then be horribly conflicted with how to display them all... I guess in the end if Hasbro ends up doing everything FP does, FP will just get its own display.

Oh god badass G1 style Wreck-Gar AND HE HAS THE MOUSTACHE & GOATEE. I'm in total fangasm here. JUNKION ARMY BUILDING.

Percy's vehicle mode isn't bad looking either. I've grown to like the calculating sniper nerd they made him in the recent comics, but a truck suits him more than a tank. The half-track with treads is a nice homage back to that and the original's 'tank' mode though.

I hope that we get a botcon set with two different junkion heads for that wreckgar mold!

This seems like a no-brainer. Easier troop builder set. In addition, Hasbro could give us some slightly different colored Scourge molds, name them the Sweeps, and call it a day! Or do some two packs ... Sweep versus Junkion "Battle on Planet Junk" exclusive set.

I can't wait until we get pics of Perceptor's bot mode!

I'm really pumped up for the line. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to get some cash to get Drift or something. Is it alright if anyone can shoot me the link to the other Generations pics (Perceptore, Jazz, Scourge, etc.)? I would like to take another look at them...

@Mindmaster: I love your avatar, mate!

Ok, Wreckgar...wow...
Truth is, I was never that big a fan of the character back in the day, but this, this figure is just so flippin sweet! I definitely plan on getting two!! Nicely done Hasbro!!

I didn't even know that last one existed. Here's a trippy question for you: How do we know that Oil Slick isn't actually dark Cy-Kill?

See now, I like this idea. And I like it a lot. But would I pay after market prices for it? Ask me after Botcon 2012.

Me neither. I stumbled on it on tfu.info when I was getting the head shots and it was too good to pass up!

Oh, and because Oil Slick didn't die.

Wreck-gar looks great and will buy on sight i just hope that fansproject still come out with thiers cause all three the female,warror,and the elder will be got also but if i had to choose then sorry hasbro but it's fansproject all the way( there are three diffrent ones so toop bulding in a must ) all of the generations are a must have

ausbot wrote:I hope that we get a botcon set with two different junkion heads for that wreckgar mold!

I kinda hope we just get them as repaints in the main line. Maybe a multipack like the Rodimus/Galvatron/Cyclonus one, with a Junkion or two, and a Scourge/Sweep or two. Tell me those wouldn't sell?

edit: just saw that Seibertron beat me to the Sweep/Junkion battle pack suggestion.

good god i just noticed the nipples. poor guy

still buying at least 2 of him
