I got my Arcee two weeks ago and have been going stir crazy waiting for windblade Chromia to arrive from ages three and up.

After almost three weeks of usps mucking about they are now ready for collection at my local post office.I just need to get there before it closes. The suspense is nearly killing me.

At least I have time to compare my legends Arcee to the generations version I got my little girl for her third birthday this weekend. (she won't be having any of this rescue bots stuff)

Welcome to Seibertron.com, Allenspurs. Thanks for signing up!

Rescue Bots toys are really awesome and are extremely age appropriate for a 3 to 6 year old. Each of the initial 6 Rescue Bots features a different transformation that helps increase a child's motor skills. One uses a push and pull method, another uses a lever motion to transform it while another uses a twisting/rotating feature to transform it. I can't recommend the Rescue Bots enough. My daughter loved them from about 2.5 to 5 and then she didn't care for them any more but we still watch the Rescue Bots cartoon together from time-to-time.

I would rather her have enjoyed Rescue Bots for what it was than her having a poor experience with a Transformer toy that was meant for an older child.

And I'm a single young adult with no children who collects Rescue Bots toys for myself. For what they are, they're great.

Hi thanks for the welcome.

Maybe I was a bit vague with my first post. I think the rescue bots toys look great and we regularly watch the tv show together but she is not even 1% interested in the toys in any way shape or form.

I think she just seen mine and want's the same as her daddy. That and she is used to playing with vintage g1 toys too, she likes the trucks,optimus,magnus,motormaster and huffer are her current group of choice.

I have a one year old well on the way too,she absolutely loves her g1 roller toy(and it's even still got all the wheels) maybe she will respond to the rescue bots better.

Join us here at Seibertron.com for first Japanese distribution of the Generations Nightbeat mold - in our newest gallery instalment! In the Japanese G1 series Masterforce, GoShooter was originally a Head Master, but in this iteration his human companion Shuta will be playing the part of a Minicon/Targetmaster borrowed from Generations Blazemaster, and the figure was the winner of a Million Publishing fan poll way way back. Click on any image below to view the full gallery!

Best version of this mold, yet!

Until Carzap comes along and tries to tie with it, that is.

So much want. I may not be able to wait for these to go on clearance.

It's basically a fan-mode made official.

Why do you have to be sooooo pricey, GoShooter? I need you so bad. Why are you TEN TIMES the price of other figures made from your mold? :sad:

A blast from the recent past to kick off the weekend - before Combiner Wars, there was just Generations, and you might remember the Asian market exclusive GDO Legend Class figures for Thundercracker, Bluestreak, Hoist and Motormaster Motorbreath. And even if you don't, Seibertron.com brings you their galleries, viewable by clicking on any of the images below.

Take some time to savour the changes in character updates over just a couple of years, with Thundercracker soon to see its full release in Leader Class form, Motormaster part of wave 2 of Combiner Wars, Hoist already a Generations Deluxe and Bluestreak appearing in the Masterpiece line, by comparing the new galleries to the links we just provided.

Ryan's just one guy doing this, so he needs the time to do all of it, and tends to put up galleries of figures when they become relevant. My guess is that these went up now to build anticipation toward a forthcoming gallery of Leader Thundercracker.

Actually this is the real reason ... https://www.facebook.com/Seibertron/photos/a.10152944816365070.1073741843.14462290069/10153311896540070/?type=1&theater

I keep putting off the GDO figures thinking that I want to do a group shot with all of them but just haven't been able to find the time to do all of them at one time. So I decided to forego the group shot of all of the GDO figures so that I can get them up finally. With Legion Skywarp just coming out, it seemed silly to put his gallery up but still not have Thundercracker posted. I have probably well over a hundred or more Legions/Legends/Cyberverse that need proper galleries up. The good news is that I can knock them out quickly ... I did 20 Legions/Legends/EZ galleries on Thursday this past week so we'll be seeing them pop up from time-to-time.

I love the Legion/Cyberverse scale too for some reason. They're some of my favorite Transformers from the past decade. Just fun little figures. My biggest gripe with them are the lack of weapons. I really wish they would all have weapons. I didn't realize until I did the GDO galleries that the guns for Bluestreak and Hoist were molded after their G1 weapons. Nice that someone is paying attention to small details like that.

I also really want to see the Seeker mold done as Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge. It'd be nice if they had their appropriate wings/weapons, but I think at this price scale I'd be fine with them just using the same mold since you can make them into coneheads. To me, that is the most defining feature of those 3 characters. I'll also take a Smokescreen from the Prowl mold, and I'm sure we can think of some creative uses for other ones. It'd be great if they would come up with a mold that would accommodate Wheeljack and Tracks robot/vehicle modes so that there was another body style that could be used for repaint potential.

A comprehensive Beast Wars Cyberverse line is also in the top 10 of my want list, complete with the show characters and any easy repaints they can make along the way.

I got Thundercraker and Motorbreathwith the GDO G2 set, they are wonderful figures, with the rerelease of RTS Legends Starscream and the upcoming legion Skywarp, I might finally complete a Seeker Trio!

Now, I wonder if they'll ever release that mold in Acid Storm's deco, he got a Legends AND A FRIGGIN' MASTERPIECE! One can dream, right?

TC has such a wicked little smirk. I nabbed Starscream the other day from Big Lots on a whim. He's a fun little guy. I also noticed he can become a cone head. How frightening would it be to see a jet with that face just looking down at you? Assuming it was either parked or hovering?

Motorbreath plays the role of tiny Nemesis Prime on my shelf.

Here is a new gallery for you all, of Takara's version of Combiner Wars Megatron: Transformers Legends LG-13 Megatron.

In it you will find comparison shots to the Hasbro deco, showing the differences (some more subtle than others) between both figures. Generally, as per usual, Takara has chosen to go more toon accurate with its deco, replacing a lot of red parts with silver. Another interesting bit is that this is the very first Takara Legends figure to be packaged in robot mode. Enjoy!

I would love to see more galleries from Takara's United/Generations line.
Seeing United Megatron reminded me of how good Takara repaints can be.

So Seibertron, it appears you prefer his cannon backwards as well? I like the look of that end better, but I don't like how it seems a little stubby. I'm constantly flipping it back and forth depending on which way I look at it.
