Oh, those are so pretty. Want. So. Bad.

Skids looks amazing, tho he suffers from Jazz and Wheelie clown shoe syndrome. Waspinator looks fanfreakingtastic! Only complaint my ONE complaint, they couldn't have found a way for the insect legs to fold up behind his back instead of hanging off his fore arms? Ah well, still will be getting these two. :grin:

Wheeljack wasn't a particularly tall deluxe and Skids looks smaller in both modes. I don't like his legs hollowness either... and those shoulders worry me, too. I SO wanted to like him, but I'm less confident about this figure every time new pics show up...

I took the liberty of translating the caption, and guess what: he claims Skids has missassembled hip joints.

if you look close at the first laying down pic of skids and the second one (with the legs pulled off) you can see that he's probably reversed the hip pieces... in the first one the slot on the side is much farther back than on the second one - I think whoever did it swapped the left for the right.

Wasp is gonna look nice with Rhinox.

Few things: first, I really like this Skids fig...but, he's got some dorky clown shoes. Man are those some big-honking feet! Second does he have swivel wrists? I certainly hope so. I hate it when they leave that feature out of deluxes and up.

Thirdly, I'm not crazy about Waspy's beast mode; I wish it kinda fit together more snugly. But his robot mode is looking sweet!

Skids could certainly be better. Definitely seems to have poor shoulder articulation, and the inside of his legs are a bit of an eyesore.

Waspinator is pure perfect. Both will be bought in some form or Takara.

I like these. However it's aggravating to me how the Voyager figures in this line are really good but the Deluxe class seems kind of cheap. And while they are better, the quality seems close to the relatively poor FOC Deluxe waves(Except for Starscream and Kickback).

Do we still have to wait until January for these because I need Skids now. He's the last of the Classicverse Autobot cars.

Waspinator looks sweet too.

You know damn well that Generations/IDWverse is the new classics

See? I said Skids had really limited shoulders but did anyone believe me? Oh no, and now you're all "I don't like the shoulders". It is annoying though, with all that firepower he'd make a great addition.

Guess something has to be after the Classicverse was destroyed. :-B

"You know damn well that Generations/IDWverse is the new classics"

LOL....no its not. That line is dead and this guy taking a pic next to the dead line proves it. That skids looks NOTHING like G1 skids, save the colors. Neither did IDW Hoist or Trailbreaker. To complete your "CHUG" collection you are going to have to either custom your own figures or go 3pt.

Six months ago you were running your mouth about how these were the new classics as well. So, are you trolling or did you genuinely change your mind?

Oh, they're not Classics, yes, but they are still a new kind of G1. "G1" is not limited to just the original cartoon or the 1980s era. If you would just read the IDW comics, you would know this instead of mistaking these for Aligned toys (which they aren't, since the Aligned portion of Generations is dead too).

by **shockblast2** » Tue Nov 12, 2013 9:05 am

Aligned is dead? LOL!

Really?

Your kidding, right?

Never would have thought that when I bought FOC Thundercracker just a month ago and the FACT that FOC Skywarp is due for a March 2014 release.

Your delusional.

by **shockblast2** » Tue Nov 12, 2013 9:06 am

I am not going to waste my time. Call them what you want. What I observe is a handful of you cannot get over your Classics problem. You think every figure is Classics. I guarantee you that some of you will be shoehorning in TF4 dinobots into your CHUG collection. Am I wrong? LOL......I am right. I know how you operate.

Only for Generations it is. Prime Beast Hunters, Rescue Bots, and Platinum Edition, however, are still going.

IDW Thundercracker and Skywarp borrowed the designs of their Aligned counterparts. Again, if you read the comics, you'd know this.

I should've said G1 cars. When I think Classicverse, I tend to think of that whole CHUG line, not specifically the Classicverse from the comics.

Nope sorry, but he's right, the Aligned portion of the Generations line is dead for now, it'll likely come back late next year/ early 2015 with the next installment of the Aligned video games.
For now it's idw, with a bit of Movie 4 preview thrown in next year.

That THundercracker is not FOC, as you where told earlier it's idw G1 Thundercracker.
Skywarp is a Takara release, and therefore not part of the actual Generations line and therefore not relevant to this discussion.

Also, it's "you're delusional".

He's referring to Hasbro Skywarp coming next year.

But thanks for the help DM.

I did read the comic that came with my figure. The IDW Thundercracker looks NOTHING like FOC Thundercracker. Hasbro is just too cheap to create a new mold for it, so they used the FOC Starscream mold. Which is good for aligned fans, because it keeps the line going until the TF3 game comes out, whatever it will be called.

Classics is dead. Hasbro killed it when they went to the new size classes. That is why they hooked up with IDW in the first place. as a new outlet for their new "g1" figure line. At least for now. Personally, I hope it continues because I like the new figures. Unless you want to go 3pt you are screwed on getting figures to fill your holes. And if I collected Classics figures that is exactly what I would do. Either that or custom your own.
