You mean the clone class?
And I am more surprised that they are new molds. This is the first time we actually have fully original molds in generations/platinum boxsets ever. I was sure they would be retools of some kind.
Also Jelze, I got something interesting or all of us to do. Remember that loooog list of rumoured toys which had stuff like Blood and Carnivac? We know there isnt enough TR left to have them all in waves. BUT what if those toys will be in the next two box sets. I mean that gives us a lot of juice. 2 more deluxes, 2 more leaders, 2 more voyagers and 2 more heads.

Octane fares better especially since that plane now has a uniform white scheme which works, and he also has some retooling. though I find it odd, isnt he supposed to have purple squares (or such) on his chest?
I wouldn't really call that "fake kibble" on Blitzwing's chest at all. If anything, you might say it's a repeat of the sloping back of the cockpit in the spine of the fuselage, but it's certainly not a double/repeated cockpit.
I guess I wasnt clear, dear Wolfman, I dont know planes, so I just called it "cockpit section" instead of the sloping back of the cockpit. I didnt mean thw whole cockpit. I still find it a bit silly looking though since its that same part fo the plane. Though I do very much welcome your interpretation fo how it can work to add plane detail.
Also, I am warming up to Blitzwing. I didnt notice the arms were tan instead of grey (that works better) and I do like how the plane is fully puple. One thing it does that is odd as hell though is how the tank turret is purple and not tan. It would have added a lot to just be the same coloured plastic. I know they wanted to give him a purple gun, but I think its one hell of a sacrifice. The tank needs as much tan as it can.
As for Octane, the original G1 toy and carton character model don't have those pectoral square details. That's something from the Universe 2008 deluxe class toy, which served as the inspiration for his rendition in the IDW comics.
Wow, goes to show how much recent version fo characters influence me. I am still not used to this full one G1 homage Hasbro is doing. For anyone who ever just wanted G1 again they must be in 7th heaven. I personally dont mind as long as I get fun designs and intricate smart engineering.
MagicDeath wrote:Yeah, there's no way Hasbro did the whole 'slightly-larger triple changing headmaster' thing without that in mind.
Like seriously, they know we are thinking it. They have a whole class dedicated to voyager triple changing headmasters, and are waiting to reveal these till the end of the line. Hasbro is a bigger tease than that girl I dated back in highschool.
SillySpringer wrote:I'm starting to wonder if Power of the Primes will actually be a mix of Combiner Wars and Titans Return with some other gimmicks thrown in for certain characters. More like a traditional generations line. I can't really think of a specific gimmick that they'd use for the whole line, and they did say that Combiner Wars will come back.
They said previous concepts could come back, but there is no confirmation. And the next gimick was leaked, its Toys to Life,where you have an app that makes you scan your toys to have them appear on a screen, or something. Like a refined RID app. Hasbro is really pushing for digital integration, they think its the only way to kee doing toys and they may be right:
Hasbro has a whole new department made for digital integration of and the generations line is next.

I didnt realize the new gun, nice! I fainted when I saw the retooled plane front. Which now has me scratching my head as to why they felt to make so may changes to the plane mode of the Optimus mold when its the mode that least represents Optimus. They should have worked on making the truck more distinctive.

Look a bit simple. Delta magnus prime whatever is just ginrai? Most interesting. Will this mean hasbro godbomber can combine? Or will we have to go takara?
I am really curious of what will happen next with godbomber. He was said to be coming out evetually so I think they will release him as the leader of the next box set.
As for Overlord, I think I am going nuts. Because I much preffer Black Shadow in robot mode. I feel the same weird way for Overlord as I did for 6shot. He is just so blocky and for some reason I dont see the Overlord I know and love in that toy. The big helmet is off to me ad doesnt strike me as overlord, same goes for the clashing colours and overly boxy nature. He really is just the G1 toy with articulation. And now I see how the reimagined Overlord in IDW was quite different from his G1 toy deco. He just doesnt seem as imposing (ad not as imposting as Black shadow).
I will get him, but I am not as excited about him as I thought I would be.

Hasbro confirmed that the clones will never be released solo from them.
to make this one as a Deluxe version too 
does slipstream and

Heck, even the official scratch model kit of the character in Wonderfest 2017 floors this piece of turd by lightyears!!
