Does anyone know when we can expect to see some of these head remolds? I know that Kup, Scourge, Lugnut, Terradive, and Tomahawk have one lined up. And I know that Perceptor is SUPPOSED to be remolded into Reflector.

Anyways, I just want to know if/when anyone knows we can expect to see these? Also, whether or not I missed one?

Not sure about the rest but the Tomahawk remold was seen in a group shot of DOTM toys so probably expect it to show up in that line.

The complete list is as such:

Scourge: ???
Sergeant Kup: ???
Thunderwing: Black Shadow (from Victory)
Perceptor: Reflector (with a G1 toy-accurate Perceptor head)
Terradive: ???
Tomahawk: ???
Wreck-Gar: "Junkyard"
Optimus Prime: ???
Warpath: "Hardhead"
Lugnut: ???

The Generations will continue at a later date, I'm estimating Fall.

This is assuming they all appear in Generations and not in some cross promtional line post movie like HFTD.

You heard me. If you look close enough, the Reflector components' and Perceptor's toy heads share a lot of features. Not surprising since they're by the same designer.

Ah ok, i misunderstood you.

For some reason, i thought there would be an extra head included with Reflector #-o

To add the popular but unconfirmed speculation:
Scourge: Ratbat/Leozack
Kup: Swerve/Orion Pax

Now I'd have called Skids on the Not-Kup, just what I see mind you.

Wreck-Gar has three alternate heads - confirmed in the last issue of the TFCC magazine.

Jazz also has one that looks like Movie 1 Swindle's head. I think Archer said he designed it himself, but my memory is fuzzy.

You're totally right. At Botcon they said the second head was designed to look like the original toy, but could be used as Reflector. There's this misconception among fans that this means we're definitely getting a remold as that character, which just isn't accurate.

If they do the toy-accurate Perceptor on a black repaint, stick a 'Con logo on it and call it Reflector, it might please some people who want a Magnificus and people who want a Hasbro Reflector. Of course, it might upset everyone, but...

Those new heads are coming from everywhere, help me! :shock:

I'm too geeky to be eaten!

Actually Tomahawk is going to appear as DOTM Vortex, at least in the Takara DOTM line. We've seen the ad a few days ago.

You're right, if it is confirmed that TF Prime toys will be released within Generations, and that they will hit stores in october... we're probably going to get some of these remolds among them, and hopefully some brand new classics figure...

Oooooooooh!!! Ratbat! I'd never considered that! I'd love to sit him next to my Classics Overkill! (As all my Cybertron repaints released in Classics are sitting in a box away from my Classics figures.)

I still like Leozack for Not-Scourge, only because they gave us a deluxe U-Ratbat already, that's not to say they couldn't use it twice of course.

I've already got Target Ratbat and Botcon Leozack so neither is all that essential for me at the moment. Ratbat does tendv to hang around with the War Within Titaniums though so another
'contempory' version wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Devcon is an obvious answer but we're already getting the 3rd party head and the colours would probably be too close to Scourge for Hasbro to go that route.

It should be noted that I haven't seen the alternate head design for this one yet.

If you wanted to be really obscure, they could make it the unamed Euro rescue force guy from the 90's, not sure how well it would sell though!

Okay, that looks like Leozack to me. Still prefer the SL Nightscream body for him though, although if we do see that one released I'd consider picking it up and attempting a head swap.

Just once, I would like to see an Ultra Magnus head remold for an Optimus repaint. Considering the Optimus Prime toys all have false fronts and whatnot, I can't see any reason why they can't make the truck mold white but the robot mold match the large robot with the large robot head. I've seen kitbashers do it so it's definatly possible.

I just want something that isn't a Cybertron repaint. I love the idea of a Deluxe Ratbat, and I bought the Target exclusive, but he sits in a box because he's a Cybertron repaint... :/

I'd think, with all the strange choices for Generations figures lately, that it will probably be Leozack though.
