Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 12:36 amI'll just wait for Hasbro to announce a Combiner Wars Defensor
Re: Official Transformers Generations Thrilling 30 Discussion Thread
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 12:37 amI wonder if next year we'll be able to thank this set for us not getting updated Protectobots during Combiner Wars?

Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 6:10 amThe existence of these Asian Protectobots set feels like some attempt by Hasbro to hold on to these names, so as to keep using them later on, potentially in Combiner Wars. After all, these names were going to be used on the Bot Shots Protectobots set, but that set got canceled, so these new sets feel like a means to make up for that loss to prevent loss of the names before the time comes for Hasbro to really use them.

Are you talking about the Windblade wave? Dark Cybertron 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 9:20 amI have Hotspot so i feel ok preordering this set, not i just need to get universe Blades and maybe Animated Elite Guard Prowl for a better Groove
Re: Official Transformers Generations Thrilling 30 Discussion Thread
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 9:42 amThis is an EASY pass for me. That they're not even remotely close to their G1 decos is my biggest gripe. If they'd given First Aid a red head, Streetwise a white one and painted Groove black and/or gold, I'd be half-tempted to order it.
As it is, all I see is a patriotic TF:Prime Ratchet and Prowl, and even though the boxart is modified, I still can't unsee Arcee in Groove.

This could be a fun sentence out-of-context!
Re: Official Transformers Generations Thrilling 30 Discussion Thread
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2014 11:23 pmI'm foolishly disappointed First Aid didn't at least get a new head, since he was the one I was hoping most for (I currently have the regular BH Prowl as my Streetwise and Galaxy Force Gasket Police-type as Groove alongside my GDO Hot Spot; I'm trying to get the Universe 2.0 Blades).
Still...I KINDA want the Arcee!Groove (Geecee?) since I collect femmebots...decisions...

Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 6:44 pmCrosscut, no drone but otherwise an awesome mold.
Jhiaxus................great retool. He really looks and comes out good. Reminds me of a grumpy old Sunstorm.
Windblade...........limited (accepted fact) in that to render a fembot, there's sure to have lots of empty spaces. She can't be blocky etc. But to squeeze all that girly ness in a Voyager and still be functional and look good.........Amazing. Plus like Jhiaxus, still manage to include functional landing gears! Amazing!
I wonder how Tomy will implement her face paint if eventually released in Japan?

Re: Official Transformers Generations Thrilling 30 Discussion Thread
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 8:18 pmYou meant Windblade into a Deluxe, right fenrir72? 
I like the figure, overall. I get the distinct feeling that the toes were intended at one point to fold more into the fuselage of the plane. But, all-in-all, I like the way it came out. I wish my tail stayed together a bit better in alt mode. Might have been a good idea to have a peg and hole near the tip...

My bad.........DeLuxe.
I'm quite amazed that Hasbro managed to stick all her features in such a weeeeee body.Also, Windblade's fists can be rotated in her sockets. Not ball jointed of course but Hasbro couldn't do that for Jetfire or even collapsible rear gears? Just razzin' Jetfire of course.
Video review of generations Chromia
Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2014 8:18 pmThanks to Seibertron.com member chachipower for pointing us in the direction of a video review of particular interest. This time we bring to you a video review of generations Chromia by you tube reviewer rocketpuncharmy! Generations Chromia is a redeco and a retool of Transformers prime RID Arcee. We've embedded the video for your viewing pleasures.
Re: 30th Anniversary- Thrilling 30 List
Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2014 9:14 pmThat Chromia review would have been so much better without the part with Wheeljack. Was that really necessary?

I think the reviewer was going for some entertainment to lighten the review. I've done it plenty of times in mine. I thought it was rather funny with the sound effects.
Re: 30th Anniversary- Thrilling 30 List
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:24 amI liked the review and the figure is not bad. I know all I need to know about this figure in 6 MINS! (hint hint to other reviewers out there)...humor and sound effects aside. I may have to pick this one up. 
Re: 30th Anniversary- Thrilling 30 List
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:49 amWheeljack interesting funny dont see many reviewers add comedy into video good figure but if this was real world chromia and hardheaded where together hardheaded be bigger in vehicle mode saw movie chromia for second in transformation video who can fit anything in rider seat of chromia no one make figures that small to fit in deluxe figure
Re: 30th Anniversary- Thrilling 30 List
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:28 pmI was really excited about this figure but after the review I'm just excited now.

While that is awesome for fans in Malaysia, Amazon.com has your hook up for those who can't hop a plan to Malaysia to pick up this set. Well you can at least order half the set with a new pre-order by Amazon for the Protectobots Emergency Response set which features First Aid from Transformers Prime Deluxe Ratchet, Groove from Transformers Prime Cyberverse Arceeand Streetsmart from Transformers Prime Deluxe Prowl. The set is $32.99 with an October 1 release date. Hopefully the Protectobots Evac Squad will follow suit. Click the image to see the pre-order.No team covers more ground in less time than the heroes of Protectobots Emergency Response. Wherever danger strikes, the team is there in the blink of an optical sensor. Their primary mission: protect the people of Earth from threats they cannot face alone. And if that gives the team a chance to blast some Decepticons while they're at it, all the better. Roll to the Transformers rescue with the Emergency Response pack! These Protectobot Streetsmart, Groove and First Aid figures are ready to handle whatever threatens innocent bystanders. Your Streetsmart figure converts from robot to helicopter mode, while your Groove figure converts fast from robot to fire truck mode. Your First Aid figure converts to ambulance mode, but he’s still ready for a fight with the swords on his bumper. They’ve all got weapons for combat if the rescue turns bad! Your rescue adventures will never be the same once you have the Emergency Response Pack! Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.
It's interesting that this product doesn't show up if you do a search on Amazon. Is it possible that the other set is actually available on there as well?
Not sure if this was announced yet, but the other Protectobot set is up for preorder on Amazon:
Transformers Asia Kids Day Protectobots Evac Squad 2-Pack
(I hope image links work...)

The fact that these sets are the (rumoured) remaining numbers in the Thrilling 30 set confirms to me that there will be distribution in the US (not sure about Canada though)
Re: Official Transformers Generations Thrilling 30 Discussion Thread
Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2014 10:59 amBut several of the "x of 30" toys were Asia-only releases, some exclusive to Hong Kong conventions and events.william-james88 wrote:gothsaurus wrote:So are these sets coming to USA... or should I put in an order for these asian versions?

These two sets were exclusive to the Transformers Asia Kids Day event (whatever that was).
