I gotta say that I'm really liking that Scourge, even with the Headmaster gimmick. Although I really wish they had made a Combiner Wars limb out of the guy.

Also really hoping they'll make a new mould Squeezeplay. He's one of the very few Headmasters I had as a kid.

Rated X wrote:Its a shame they screwed the scale and made the real headmasters deluxe. They set a standard with brainstorm and then flip flopped. And im sure scourge will be huge and turn into a stupid base like blaster. Im only semi excited about these. Ill buy them, but hasbro came late to the party. Fansproject satisfied my Headmaster cravings and continues to do so. And Im good with generations scourge. While I welcome a proper alt mode, making him a headmaster and possibly upsizing him to "kiddie fun size" kills it for me. Alpha Trion might be interesting providing the mold was meant to be for him and not a retool. My guess is the will try to mimic the transforming 3rd party alpha trion which I am very happy with.

The Transmissions podcast source also said that there will be a new Brainstorm deluxe. So most of the headmasters are in one scale. The voyager one will be the odd man out.

I can't wait to see more on Chromedome, and hope it'll bring a feeling of relief for not forking over a hundred bucks for the TFSS version.
Super excited for Mindwipe as well!

Guess I know now why Scourge wasn't optioned to be Galvatronus limbs. Sadly it doesn't look much better than that Titanium version. Oh well so much for troop building more Sweeps. (Got like 5 Generations Scourges anyway)

I do like Mindwipe and A3 looks good as well. Chromedome is a wait and see.

Are there any Voyagers in this line?

Im wishing that Scourge is a voyager so he'll scale with CW Cyclonus and Titan returns leader galavatron.

The Generations scourge is great, but I don't mind a larger scaled trio.

These are all looking like Deluxe to me, so I'm hoping we get a look at Voyager Astrotrain since that's clearly what that Sentinel Prime mold was initially made for.

Who wants to bet Scourge's Titan Master partner will be called "Sweep?"

.... But.... Sigh. First Blurr and now Scourge? We already have great Classics figures for both, we don't neeed more. ESPECIALLY with this headmaster gimmick.

I guess this can stand next to leader Galvatron and CW Cyclonus?

Alpha Trion looks hella tight.

Alpha trion is a Voyager, scourge is a deluxe and Galvatron is a Voyager not a leader

That Chromedome head sculpt gives me all the tinglies.

These guys are looking cool and AT looks straight badass.

by **Desslok2201** » Wed Jan 27, 2016 10:50 am

That's a really bad picture to use to say that Scourge's alt mode is accurate. It looks like there's some kind of flap or canard on that front edge, I can't tell if that closes or not. If this does turn out to be close to his movie appearance, I'll buy 10 as troop builders, if not, pass (again)

Actually I thought that was much worse than the original G1 figure. The proportions aren't good and the head is awful in size and sculpt. The Generations figure is the best so far in having a good bot mode (head sculpt is much better) but I so dislike the wings and the alt-mode strays too far from the original for my liking (hate the shoulders too).

A3!!! YES!!! I wants, even blurry he looks badass!!! Domey has the head I wanted and I loves it! May not get the cons, but they don't look bad at all!! I wants!!

I agree with your take on the titanium, but other than the articulation and head sculpt, the generations mold does little for me. Seeing as it's the 30th anniversary of the movie, I'd love to see a screen accurate Scourge without going 3rd party, but I'm apprehensive from that fuzzy 3/4 image. I think you could make armada sideswipe look cool under those conditions

Yay, Scourge and Chromedome! I've been wanting a bigger-than-Deluxe Scourge forever, and also a Chromedome that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. These guys can't come soon enough (just like CW G2 Menasor, and confirmation on that CW Liokaiser).

Alpha trion is a Voyager

Yep yep, the leaked info has stated this indeed.

Anyone think this A3 is a "pre-tool" of something? SINS OF THE WRECKERS SPOILERS BEYOND: Maybe a pre-tool of a certain Leobreaker that is in today's SotW issue? Or maybe A3 comes to look like this because he's helping out Tarantulas/is the big bad boss beyond that? Sorry to leak the comic discussion in, but it may help justify the appearance of the toy in this case.

Galvatron, Sentinel, Astrotrain, Alpha Trion.

IDW Chromedome sure would be a godsend for me, but you gotta take it with a grain of salt. The head looks promising, but I feel it may be given the Generations Whirl treatment of just slapping the IDW head on the G1 styled body and calling it good.

I wouldn't mind it having any form of the character that won't break my bank account, but I would prefer a more comic-accurate take.

That Alpha Trion and Vector Prime are going to have some serious Time/Space adventures in the Cobotron dimension.
Cons are gonna learn quick, you've got to respect your elders. :BOWDOWN:

Wasn't it reported that they are slightly bigger than deluxe, but still classified as deluxe? That's been my understanding anyway.
