With Superion getting the "missing member" from the get-go, and possibility of the same thing happening with Menasor, how would TakaraTomy handle Guardian (Defensor)? Groove has been repurposed as an Legends if we are to believe the leaked listings, if TakaraTomy is gonna aim for G1 accuracy how would they do it?

Saw a discussion about later wave 2014 Generations. Have seen them at retail around here but it has been very spotty and only at a couple of the 18 gillion Walmarts in the Raleigh-Durham Metro Area. Window probably over for finding them, may show up at discount later on. HTS and Amazon were the best resource for that wave, good luck to anyone still looking for them!
But yeah, back to the topic, man, this version looks super nice. Going to be tempting to not get it, going to have to keep an eye out for the HLJ preorder.

And Firefly is a Harrier now like Slingshot.

I like the idea of mixing and matching, it is more dynamic, frees things up, it is creative and fun. Of course a G1 set up is so fun and exciting as well. Options are good. Change it every few months or never change it. I hope Hasbro releases Slingshot here. It would be messed up to have the figure and to basically withhold it. I know they don’t bother with perfect distribution of figures but to deny fans of 20% of a group is cold.
I'm sure Hasbro doesn't see it that way. They're fully committed to drinking the IDW Kool-Aid and as far as they're concerned, they released a full set.

What's wrong with their approach? As far as their target market is concerned the ariealbots are complete. There is nothing wrong with working with IDW, with this approach it's just like the marvel legends line.
Also those saying about alpha Bravo just being repurposed from a later wave, wouldn't it be simpler to say that hasbro checked first to see if slingshot was active in the comics and saw what happened in rid and created a replacement
wow.... you sure picked your name aptlyCrankyOldTruck wrote:So Takara gives us our missing Slingshot and then turns Silverbolt into some hideous lemon yellow atrocity while Hasbro gives us decent colors yet screws us out of a character? **** both of these companies!! That's bull****! If Takara has Slingshot we know Hasbro originally had it in the pipeline first since this series was their making. That means Hasbro intentionally screwed us and gave us a lame excuse as to why. What a complete and total load of crap. I'm not buying either set now just on general principle.

Nay! I went grocery shopping one evening and decided to take a peak at the toy section, coming across at least three Arcees and Chromias (only bought Chromia, though).peaces wrote:you went to 5 walmarts every day and got the only one that made it to retail.
