Dammit Hasbro. Rumble being the red one? And Frenzy the blue one? Personally, I just think they both look better by the FIRRIB concept

Nice! Scourge looks like he shares some def. design cues with what I came up with for AHM Coda! Don't know for sure but it looks like Hasbro may have taken some inspiration from my work. Either way, his robot mode looks cooler than ever IMO.

Seconded.

they should make Rumble and Frenzy colour changing. The blue one could go red when dipped in hot water, the red one could go blue. Or make them both purple. Not a huge fan of these guys from the looks of the photos so far anyway.

G2 Prime looks pretty shway though, and Wheeljack is ok.

I think they'll be scout sized given the size of the legs and hands. Look at the legs, they are toothbrush thick... and the hands don't seem to be able to hold one of the cannons, nor does it look like the cannons can even come off.

I love Scourge and G2 Prime. The clearer pictures make me want them even more then the rest! I have high hopes for Rumble and Frenzy. Wheeljack is looking better with the clearer pics, but I'm going to need to see some colored pics before I commit to loving the absolute **** OUT OF HIM!

I don't know what I was reading, but the first comic I saw them in were like that. So no matter what they will always stay like that for me. Besides I always associate Frenzy with the term blood frenzy (as in a berserk state). Frenzy just suits red, he always will in my book.

Any news when Hasbro will be releasing all these figs? The eta dates for these figures is Jan-March according to the listings. Don't we usually get these figures first? Are we going to get them around the same time?

Looking good.
I'm really digging these Generations figures!

I'm a RIBFIR kinda guy myself but to each their own.

We should be seeing these (in Canada at least) around March or April.

Blurr, Kup, Tracks, Jazz, G2 Optimus, Perceptor, Lugnut, Scourge, Wreck Gar, Thunderwing, Grapple, Windcharger and Rumble & Frenzy are all coming out in the next 6-9 months on top of MP Rodimus and the Protector.

My wife is going to leave me over all this!

Hah. Me too! I'm loving all the new stuff coming out this year & next, but my wife's going to kill me when she finds out how much I've preordered.

Wheeljack is definatly a win in my books... I love the way Takara and Hasbro are handling remolding/repainting of figures...

Grapple is a win as well... even though he doesn't come with a gun hand or a weapon of any sort... I hope that a repaint as roadhauler is released as well...

Even though I don'like the wings in robot form on Scourge nor his altmode I think that he is a decent figure (one to buy to complete the galvatron - cyclonus - scourge trio)... and I hope that his targetmaster is released (either by Hasbro or Takara) so that a repaint/remold of Inferno (with a ladder instead of a water gun) is released as Artfire. Aslo a repaint of Scourge (and a new face) would make great Devcon figure.

G2 Optimus Prime isn't that bad.... but I would have liked to see him at least in Voyager Class size so that a repaint of RiD Scourge would fit better with SDCC exclusive Nemesis Prime. A repaint as Toxitron wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Is this how Hasbro and Takara are going to handle the other cassette-bots? I hope that Frenzy and Rumble will be labelled as Cybertronian Frenzy and Rumble.... I'd like to see them redone into more articulated cassettes in legend size (so as to fit with ravage)... I know that casettes are so last century... but up to 10 years ago micro casettes were still used... and Guido Guidi has released some great art for an unused AHM Soundwave which turns out into a modern recorder.

Oh nice! They made some serious changes to the Tracks mold.

I'm glad this was rectified:
