By the way, did I read right? Dinobot toys that actually combine?

Yes. We are receiving a Dinobot PCC set.

And I'd love to see G1 combiners redone in PCC. But with actual hands and feet, ya know. Since the drones do absolutely nothing, and the only moving parts are used for the "Automorph" transformation, isn't it possible that Hasbro could fashion a hand and arm mounted weapons to pop out and retain the G1 ish look?

I'm sure they could do it, but will they? I don't think so.

no news on a 1 eyed 1 handed flying purple people eater?

shame.

by **Universal Prime** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 5:22 pm

Can someone tell me what vehicles are used for the constructicons? My guess is that steamhammer is a mining excavator, and at least one of the drones is a quarry truck, but this team might have some of the wierder types in there.

I do like the news, except for the lack of new human alliance molds.

Hey, I can dream, hehehe.

Good going over all, in any event. Cannot wait to get a hold of them ALL.

I could see them doing Overlord. It's definitely the dark horse, but Hasbro seems to be giving the IDW characters some love so it is possible.

Deluxe Tracks (can do the winged car mode)
Deluxe Jazz (looks like a Porsche or something similar, has speakers on inside of door that pop out in vehicle or robot mode, designed alternate head unknown)
Deluxe Perceptor (sniper rifle, truck, alternate head might be Reflector)
Voyager Grapple (inferno repaint w/ crane and alternate head, and new feet)
Voyager Highbrow

FINALLY!!!

Can't wait to get these. Hopefully Jazz will have the racing stripes and all of these will look like their G1 counterparts. I don't like that Perceptor is a truck just make him a microscope.

Here's hoping Highbrow will be a headmaster.

Exactly.
I'm stoked about the new announcements, but we needs us a Generations (G1 or WFC style, I'm down with either) Shockwave. Here's hoping he's in the same stage of planning as Kup...

If the stuff they couldn't show involved Trailbreaker or Wheeljack (and Hoist - Grapple needs his buddy!) I will hitchhike to RhIs and make sweet, sweet love to Hasbro Corp. Headquarters.

I hope we see a sweep out of the new scourge!

Considering he never got a release in the US I think there's a good chance.

Can't believe how much good stuff is coming down the pipeline. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick up every single upcoming item mentioned from the Generations line.

First let me say it looks like it's going to be a fantastic year! Second let me say never buy exclusives thinking they will be the only incarnations of popular characters, and I'm not even talking about the Seeker fiasco. The only reason I bought the Wings of Honor set was to get a "classic" versions of Kup and Scourge. Not to mention the Sweeps add on set I bought on Ebay. Now we're getting a brand new and most likely better mold for Scourge and it appears Kup is in the works. Now don't get me wrong, I'm actually pleased by this. I'm sure the new molds for these guys will exceed and better represent the characters than the Wings of Honor repaints, and now I can build an army of Sweeps on the cheap. It just makes me regret shelling out the cash for Wings of Honor and the Sweeps. Oh well, live and learn.

I don't supposed Scourge is a Targetmaster?

No, he isn't. His weapon looks like a mix between his head gun and his Targetmaster, but it is not a Targetmaster.

...s-skip...them...? Oh well, to each their own I always say.

In any case I'm looking at going to the current toy sales to pick-up a bunch of Transformers to add to my collection. The ones I'm sure about include but aren't restricted to:

-Supreme Class Constructicon Devastator
-N.E.S.T. Bumblebee and Soundwave combo pack
-Leader Class Optimus Prime and Jetfire combo pack (possibly)
-Legend, Scout, Deluxe and Voyager-class ROTF and HFTD figures (following some sort of pattern)
-War for Cybertron Autobots and Decepticons (after more research I should make up my mind about these two games)

I doubt that Wave 2 of PCC would be released within the next few weeks, but we shall see!

Would be nice if Blurr, Kup and Scourge etc are all Targetmasters. After all Cyclonus is one too.

Blurr isn't one as he's based on IDW comic appearance. The only real possibility is Scourge.

Sweet mother of Mary under the glory of all things awesome. Jazz alone is enough to make me hyperventilate (I know 'cause I did briefly).

I want pictures. Lots of pictures.

G1 Legends Optimus Prime
G1 Legends Starscream
G1 Legends Prowl
G1 Legends Megatron (Walther P-38, can be held by Masterpiece Starscream)

Deluxe Tracks (can do the winged car mode)
Deluxe Jazz (looks like a Porsche or something similar, has speakers on inside of door that pop out in vehicle or robot mode, designed alternate head unknown)
Deluxe Perceptor (sniper rifle, truck, alternate head might be Reflector)

My response: :grin:

I was really wrong I was thinking the Generations line was going to suck, Hasbro sure proved a lot of us wrong. I'm glad I did not give in to the Botcon Scourge. As for Jazz it's about damn time can't wait to see what he looks like next month and the rest of them are amazing. =P~

One other thing whats the deal with Windcharger being a scout class figure? He should be Legends class I would think. This would be the first scout class fig for the classics line, right? I really hope for more Legends class figure the ones they are releasing are nice butI would much rather see more new characters.

I'm a happy little TF geek!!! There is a whole lot of WIN here!!!

I think I will also be skipping a lot of the PCC stuff to save dollars and shelf space for this upcoming load of awesomesauce. I'll pick & choose from that line, but I won't go crazy with it.

My only complaint (and it is minor) is that Thunderwing deserves a size larger class, voyager at least, but ultra or leader would really fit his comic incarnation.

Maybe my memory is a little faulty, but I think they also announced a Deluxe Liege Maximus.

Either way, this panel blew me away. They gave us no time to breathe before dropping bomb, after bomb, after bomb on us.
