The whole Chinese Geisha look and feel with the face paint is amazing. With AOE having a whole spin of that culture it definitely ties in very nicely. Detailing alone is enough for me... Considering Hasbro's history of missing the fine details... This is probably one of my new favorites...

It's actually Japanese Kabuki theater themed. Far different.

Ah... Well now I know...

Definitely great to bring in adversity into the lines either way

Oh yeah, totally, I'm not arguing with you, just pointing out a fact

I really am excited to get her, hoping a bit of superglue will fix her heels.

Ever tried the Pledge "FloorCare"? I have a bottle about to try on some my ROTF Bruticus and Superion. Other than the shiny parts seems less lethal...

Tried it on ball joints before, multiple coats, but it never really worked (My technique is to use electrical tape). I don't think making the heels permanently extended will make her jet mode too horrible looking.

What about just adding a layer of clear coat to the detachable heel pieces to make it firmer to move those parts?

I just opened up my Gears with "Eclipse" and Acid Storm with "Venin" packs. I'm happy with this printing of the "Flanker" mold. The nosecone and peg handle fold back properly in robot mode on my Eclipse so that he can stand flat footed. My Flanker figure is always tipping forward.
Venin is a rubbery mess! Almost all of the plastic is soft to the point of being rubber. It's like he's half decoy or something.

Even the smallest of Transformers can't escape the galleries of Seibertron.com. These newest subjects include Generations Legends Class Nemesis Prime with Spinister and Cliffjumper with Supressor. They are redecos of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from the same line only with switched Target Master partners.

Speaking of their Target Master partners, let's take a look at them. Spinister is a redeco of Blazemaster getting his name and deco from G1 Spinister while Supressor is a redeco of Roller. Click on any of the images to see the full galleries.

I wonder how many people gave the rifle that came with Cliffjumper to Nemesis Prime. I'm on the fence myself whether to do it or not.

Nope, I gave it and Spinister to TFSS Scourge and stuffed Nemi into storage.

It's been two months and I still can't find these on shelves.

Have patience, the retailers are really dragging on this. Meijer and Target have been the best bet in Indiana, but even then Ionly started seeing these figures a few weeks ago. No sign of Gears yett

I actually outfitted them as they came, when I first bought them, but Suppressor kept making Cliffy fall over, so I gave up and swapped them out. Not sure why they chose to weapon swap those two, but Acid Storm and Gears are just straight repaints of Scream and Swerve.

The new year continues on and so do the galleries of Seibertron.com. As the Thrilling 30 anniversary campaign comes to a close, we present the last Generations Thrilling 30 Voyager Class figure Brainstorm with Arcana.

This particular incarnation of Brainstorm is based on Nick Roche's design for More Than Meets The Eye even though that character is not a headmaster. He is also the first and so far only headmaster of the Generations line while being only the second Brainstorm figure after the original G1 toy.

Yes, Chromedome. (stupid auto correct.)

Indeed. This is why I'm still waiting.

No, no, none of that matters. How does autocorrect accept Chomedome, which Chome isn't even a word, and replace Chromedome with it?

I know, right? It hurts my brain too.

We insist, in this first week of the new solar year, in bringing you the usual Seibertron.com treatment for toys. Today's offering continues the Generations streak, and brings two new characters to the site. One of these figures has been expected by fans for a good quarter of a century, Generations Arcee. Included in the Arcee package are the Deluxe sized figure, her generous accessories (two guns, two swords), and Series 2 No. 0021 Arcee comic book.

The other character you'll see below is a heavy remold of PRiD Arcee, also known as Windblade's bodyguard, Generations Chromia. While she is a remold of PRiD Arcee, she bears startlingly few similarities, other than the obvious alt-mode of a motorcycle. Included with the Deluxe sized Chromia are her pistol and Series 2 no. 0022 Chromia comic book.

Click on any of the images below for latest arrivals Arcee and Chromia!

Generations Arcee






















Generations Chromia

Arcee is a great toy. She looks exactly like she should. The only weak point as far as I'm concearned are those swords. It's like they're included, because she was too small for the price point and Hasbro decided that there had to be some sort of compensation.

I still want a Chromia. She looks good, but he vehicle mode is smaller than that of PRID Arcee? Tiiiiny!

Amazing

Wow, looking at Chromia next to PRID Arcee in vehicle mode. If I didn't already know for a fact that Chromia was an extensive remold of that toy, I could never have guessed it. That's some good use of new tooling by Hasbro, nearly completely unrecognizable. Robot mode, not so much, that torso's a dead giveaway, but dang, that bike mode.

Also, I nearly spat out my drink when I got to the picture of Arcee trying to turn Daniel into her head. Well played, sir.
