Galvatron-better size but worse alt. Mode than generations
Blaster-don't like as boom box/base & they probably won't release all the cassettes just like they did with all other blaster/soundwave molds
Skullcrusher & hard head - very good
Sentinel prime - colors & mold could fit as omega supreme better...and omega has been in comics awhile. And sentinel was white and then became nemesis so I don't understand the colors.
Hasbro is trying to match g1 molds but then make characters that aren't headmasters into headmasters. Or combiners out of characters that weren't g1 combiners.
Now IDW will be writing comics to fit toys which may not be a good idea.
G1 started to have bad toy molds and ideas, and scale was crazy. ACTIONMASTERS?..a transformer that could not transform. Point is the generations/classics line was started as a good line with nice robot & alt moulds. Now hasbro is starting to remake characters that were already released, and choosing iffy molds that have lots of repaints to churn out a lot of toys.
For a collector, which a lot of these toys are made for, I don't need multiple primes, bumblebees, soundwave etc...THERE ARE LOTS OF CHARACTERS...make molds for new characters...there are still more females, if hasbro is making masters, make them all..not a few then jump to another idea.
And the mass shifting to explain poor scale was a stupid explanation. The enigma of combination was a good idea but seemed like IDW is retconning its own storyline. Which may continue to happen if they try to match hasbro's semi-Parr toy machine.
