I don't really want to get political, but just so nobody gets confused...is there any way the fandom can come up with a better designation for the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy that is offered exclusively at Toys R US ...just sayin

I'm super stoked about the new Dinobots (as well as their combiner), that Leader evolution Optimus Prime, and definitely that Voyager Starscream. I hope we get the other Seekers in that size as well. Hopefully they'll do something better with Shockwave in the future.

I can't wait to get all of the Dinobots! I'm not sure about their combiner name, I think I'll rename it Extinction. I like the addition of Slash, would be cool to have Paddles and Scorn to add to the group too.

I too feel less inclined towards completion in this line since I've got all the Combiners I want (Bruticus, Victorion, Defensor and a loveably ragtag Sky Reign). Except for Predaking, but he's gonna be a bit too big and expensive so I'll go without. This means I can quite happily pick up just the few Dinobots and Terrorcons and Female Autobots and Jazz I want and maybe get a random cheap Scattershot or Elita-1 at some point! Yay!

Kurona.....the potp one has grey hands, easy way to tell.

I've always just called it "Hasbro MP-10".

Given the Dinobots are now a five-man Combiner... my mind just suddenly went "Paddles as Titanus".

A very, very small but equally awesome Dragonzord

Power for the primes series is looking great so far. Really thought I'd be giving slash a miss but its a must have (plus it's great hat hasbro have given it a name that means something else in slang... 'Mum I got a slag yesterday, I need a slash now!') Snarls head split looks ugly on the display toy (hopefully it fits nicely together like on the render)
Sludge really needed to be voyager, fingers crossed for oversized K.O's happen at some point.
Over than starscream which might be my only miss on this line up tho its looking better in robot mode than it did previously for some reason.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!

Im very excited about the Dinobots. I'm glad they are going Blue Chest on Swoop, but that makes me wish they went Red Head on Slug all the more. Slash looks real cool. All the Dinos look awesome really. I'm a little let down by Optimus though. I wish the cab turned into a Smaller Optimus instead of Orion. Its just the Scale freak in me really, but I'd prefer Optimus and Megatron to be no bigger than a voyager on my shelves. Oh well, guess my Henkei Prime keeps his spot

Well, as far as Titans Return, I'm getting every single deluxe, and some of everything else.

With Combiner Wars, I passed on a lot because I wasn't into collecting yet, I only got the Sky Reign wave, Scattorshot, and Onslaught (though I'm looking for Alpha Bravo and Offroad for...reasons, CW Blast Off to go with Onslaught because of...reasons...and Rook because he's cool).

My wallet is thankful that Power of the Primes will be midway between the two.

Just linking the tweet as I'm on mobile atm, but someones nabbed a pic of screamers box art showing off his combined mode!

MEGASCREAM!!! Similar to the IDW Deviations TF:TM story!!

Considering they Brought Slash in as a Dinobot for the G1 series(I'm basing that claim on the Possibility of him appearing in the IDW comics) I wonder what A Generations Scorn would look like. OOH, Or even Paddles if you really want dig into Obscure characters.

The dinobots look like they could be a combiner. Grimlock's feet have the connectors like the combiner wars voyagers have and there are two "feet" pictured there.

They are. The combined mode was revealed today.

Am I getting my hopes too high for a Generations Scorn?

I have to say, I'm very disappointed with Hascon. Sure, the new reveals are nice and I plan on getting all of them, but this is everything? They made us wait until Hascon, they're big, new flagship convention for seven Transformers reveals total across all series? And to spend the week sending out teaser images of stuff that wasn't even at the show. Talk about trolling! I'm sure we'll see more at NYCC, but it's shocking that they'd have they're own convention and barely show anything new at it. Where are the discount store, "evergreen" whatever figures? Where are the new movie figures? This isn't even everything that was leaked from PotP wave one. Where's Legends Windcharger and PM Vector Prime with the Metal Hawk Decoy armor?

I guess when Hascon replaced BotCon I thought they'd be doing massive reveals on the same level as we've been used to from BotCon, but apparently not.

So, going along with what you are saying, I am asking, are we supposed to get any more reveals, or was that it? I am not necessarily unhappy about what was revealed. I was just really hoping to see the Terrorcons, since, as you mentioned, they were teased for this show.
