Hey,

Has the title says I have a question. I've been out of Transformers since I saw the new movie and went blind. :grin:

I have just started to get my eyesight back and noticed that Hasbro is doing a Generations line (like Classics 3.0)

I saw Thrust and can't wait to get him, but are they putting out Dirge and Thundercracker? I would like to retire my Botcon set and put it in storage, so I hope they do release them.

Any help would be great, thanks in advance.
BB

No news on the other Seekers yet. We only know about Generations Thrust.

Thanks

OK so I'm not as out of the loop as I thought.

It was hard to walk away but I just didn't like the movie figures so I took a break. but the new classics have me excited to collect again.

At least my G1 collection grew by triple since the new movie came out. :grin:

More than likely they will... Hasbro wouldn't pass on such easy way to make money :grin:

I'm referring to the fact that the seeker mold has been highly used and profitable and the fanbase loves them... thats why it would be easy money for Hasbro...

I know, dude - I'm just taking the opportunity to bitch about the lack of Arcee.

Which reminds me - a Generations mold would be great. Hasbro could design in mind a poss Moonracer and Elita-1 alterations\retransformations.

Why hasn't a new version of Blurr been created yet? :sad:

I like how you think. I'm sure Blurr will get remolded from Drift. The IDW designs are so close to each other.

Y'know - if we are going to get a Generations Blurr, I have this secret hope it will be a new mold with an Arcee redeco\transformation, since the G1 versions were very similar. :grin:

Failing that, Drift is made of win for a Blurr toy. Good call.

Heck, if you say that, why not Arcee from Drift? The figure fits her Spotlight persona...a sword slashing maniac...

The thought had crossed my mind, actually! I'm also one of those in the field that thinks female TFs don't need to have a thin, feminine body - OTFCC Roulette\Shadowstriker look fine, and that's just a head swap.

Well thank goodness you and I aren't in charge of Hasbro's Repaint/Remold committee, cause the rest of the fandom would have blocky fembots. :KREMZEEK:

Nothin' wrong if the babes got back!

Dude...you just described my life. Are you sure you're not me? :shock:

Well, except for the "triple" part. I already had so many G1s, I don't think there are enough left to triple my collection. Regardless, my numbers are even higher during movie times!

I've had some of my best pick-ups during this movie, I got:

Predaking for 40 bucks
Camshaft
Yellow Cliffjumper
Ratchet
Topspin
Cyclonus
Bruticus
Wheeljack
and Mirage

in just the last two months going to flea markets

Wouldn't that be better than the typical fembot fan complaint of not having any/enough? Would not a blocky G1-ish Arcee be better than the one fembot fans have been crying about for the last 20-odd years?
