This is fantastic. I was hoping there'd be some Transformer I could get for my 3-yr old nephew.

But who's the go-bot looking helicopter dude?

I was hoping I could find a picture of the G1 Action Master set that included a mini-copter similar to that but it appears that all we have are just the standard Action Masters listed. That was the first thing that copter reminded me of, which I find to be a very cool yet probably totally unintentional homage.

One question I have about all of this little kid stuff: Is it royally messed up of me to find that Optimus Prime figure to be easily 100 times cooler/more interesting than DotM Prime? I want that Prime in the worst way!

No, he does (bizarrely) look amazing. Really weird, but he does.

No Generations figures were present because it's an ongoing line. ToyFair shows off new lines to retailers, not existing lines that will be more of the same that the retailers are already carrying.

From what I gather, TF: Prime is going to be a new subline of figures, not rolled into Generations as was previously thought.

Back on topic: They're cute, but their asthetics certainly won't mix with my ongoing collection
