Wait...SS...does that mean that some intrepid soul at Hasbro agrees with me so strongly that everything about Beast Machines was not only bad, but so morally wrong that they're equating it with NAZIS?!?!?!?! A bit heavy handed, especially after that sort of thoughtless hyperbole got Megan Fox fired, but way to call a spade a spade!
May Primus protect you from the ravings of false oracles.
But seriously, what does this SS stand for? "Super Soaker", as in a new category of role-play toys?
My favorite thing here is the Bumblebee with the little orange Grind-storm; I sure as heck don't want IT, but seeing it finally released gives me hope that the Sideways vs. the 3 bike sisters legends pack might still be released, since I first saw photos of those packs in the same general exclusives lineup. Yes, I know it was probably going to be a Target exclusive, making me optimistic over an irrational association, but it totally offsets my aforementioned nausea, which is remarkable considering I don't like orangish-yellow.

I hope you're right about the Sideways set. I was looking forward to getting a more accurate Sideways (it would probably look great with the Reprolabels, and it has very little of the ugly red in robot mode) and some in-scale bike sisters.

As stated before, the Bumblebee vs. Legends Grindor has been released last year. I've seen it at Walmart along with Brawl vs Legends Jolt. And the Sideways vs. the Motorcycle Cycle Triplets has been canceled indefinitely. It's not the first time images of older product has sneaked into a collection of newer ones

That was a listing for TF:Prime Arcee.
Dear Primus NOOOOOOOoooooo!
Now I have to consider getting that third party expensive Arcee.
I was really hoping for a Generations Arcee :s
Oh well, gotta catch those Animated Chromia / Paradron Medic bots.
Hey, I'm not saying they aren't making a G1-inspired Generations Arcee, I'm just saying that the listing we saw a few months back was for the Prime figure.
If I were to hazard a guess I'd say the C/H/U/G style figures will probably be back in full swing by next year and with Arcees prominence in Prime I could definitely see HasTakTom doing a G1-esque figure of her next year.

I wish that was the case. As far as I understand DotM is the main line this year, with Prime not starting until the end of the the year (not sure about Gen.). the reason we haven't seen many of the toys though is because:
A) Hasbro seems to really be cracking down on how far ahead we see things now (seems like we only see new things at the last minute these days)
B) they were waiting until after Dotm premieres so as to avoid spoilers and what not. I also heard they will be showcasing new stuff and SDCC.
at least that's how I hear it will be

Thanks! I was hoping that was the case. I'm really into the movie stuff...well, any stuff, and I hate to see all these lines get chopped off early. Like all the cancelled Animated and RtS stuff, as well as the HFTD Sideways pack that never arose. But I'd be pissed if they didn't release all the new characters in DOTM and new off-screen characters. Like Ultra Magnus, perhaps? C'mon Hasbro!

I am sure Hasbro will be riding Dark Of The Moon for as long as they possibly can like they did with the first two.
