I was going to mention the bargains- are they missing anyting? Are the *Rainmakers* missing any accessories that come with standard Voyagers? For the Micromasters are they missing anything?

The one released Amazon exclusive (Greenlight) equates to one dollar less than retail price for one Deluxe + one Battle Master.

The value of the contents for the Autobot Pack would be about $46, and the Decepticon Pack $48, but BOTH are expected to be around $45 or $46 USD if released through Amazon (as expected).

Not as good a deal as what Target is offering, but you still get your monies worth.

I realize now you guys are talking about the 2 blue Micros that combine in alt mode.
They look fun, but how awesome would it be if they DID revive those guys? I'd be all for it!

Some fun reveals here. Lot's of great stuff coming our way!

For real, Micromaster combiners revisited with better gestalt mode articulation would be awesome.

I'm glad there affordable. And I guess that means I have to go to Target now.

I'm the same, to me Rumble is blue because of the cartoon, and I got the toy off my parents and didn't read the card :lol:

Those prices are suprising as that's a little discount on the voyagers isn't it? Maybe target got to set the price on these.

Huh I've been been more happy to be wrong about something. Those are great prices for the sets and the petty side of me is happier still because that means the idiot that bought the eBay set paid more than double what the rest of us will have to pay.

Obviously unsure when these exclusives will release, but from my experience with Target exclusives, they often end up in the post holiday season clearance isles. So there's a modicum of wishful thinking.

News Credits: 56 · Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:40 am

I could be wrong, but I think this is a nice result of not having a live action movie this year. One less full line to develop, and while it seems SS and Cyberverse keep *trucking along* , Generations is really getting a chance to shine with exclusives. Even though many of them I will not purchase, I still love seeing them all, and appreciate the attention this line is getting.

Awwww yeah.. Can't wait for these guys to hit the shelves. This IMHO is one of the best lines.

No targetmaster transforming guns for target master characters is a fail.

Everything else looks full of win for me! ;)^

That’s why they have Battle Masters. The Autobot box set’s Trenchfoot could pass for Pinpointer for Crosshairs, and the three Decepticon Targetmasters are already a thing. The Battle Master in the Decepticon Phantomstrike set also belongs to Spinister, who is also here.

Hear me out.

Let's say, by the time WFC part 3 rolls around, all that is left for Micromasters is Micromaster Combiners. So, in WFC Part 3, what if we get a LEADER class Broadside. This could replace the lackluster Titans Return boi. AND his release could coincide with Sixwing. THE MICRO AERIALBOTS COULD CHILL ON THE CARRIER MODE. Just like those tiny ones that came with Titans Broadside! :-D

**EDIT**

Ooooooh! Maybe the Titan for that line could be Raiden! And it could be like... A mild focus on combination for the line!

Looking at your list, I don't think we're missing too many now

The micromasters are $10 but you get two of them. As far as legion class goes you should probably just accept the fact that it died out for generations years ago. I can't see them making any more.

An interesting bit of news from :TAKARATOMY:

. Unicron is planned as a TT Mall Exclusive. Though the translation is rough, it still seems dependent on *if* the crowdfunding Haslab project is successful. It would be awesome if :TAKARATOMY:

pre-orders could be added to the overall total, perhaps this is the beginning of allowing this to open up to the rest of the world....

I grew up on the original cartoon, toyline, and comics, and I don't remember noticing the discrepancy, so I find myself constantly being confused by it.

As for these reveals so far, I'm all over that Micromaster pack, AND Micromaster Rung (any official Rung, really), and maybe the Rainmaker set. It's a good value if that's the real price, and personally the Voyager size feels right for Seekers; I'm just not sold on the block-coloring paint jobs. Something's gonna get adjusted if I buy that set.

Well he was literally asking about legion class before the list so that's more on you than him if you couldn't figure that out. Either way you were unnecessarily rude as ****.
