The Generations line has been pushing out some of my favourite figures recently and I am wondering what is yet to come? I have seen Rhinox which looks promising, despite my general lack of interest in Beastformers. What others do we know about please?

I know I personally would also make exceptions for figures that had animal modes in the G1 line, such as some of the cassettes, the Insecticons, and the Dinobots, but I found that statement very amusing when juxtaposed with your name and signature picture.

Anyway, I'm sure others can have more complete answers then I would, but a few that I know about off the top of my head that I'm pretty sure aren't out yet:

Legends Class:

Cosmos (A different figure then the already released one.)
Shrapnel
Swerve
Tailgate

Deluxe Class:

Skids

Voyager Class:

Whirl

I don't remember who it is, or what class he is, but aren't we getting an update of one of the double Targetmasters, along with both of his partners?

List Girl, coming to the rescue!

Legends Class
Cosmos with Payload (based on G1 Micromaster Blast Master)
Swerve with Flanker (based on G1 Micromaster Sky High)
Tailgate with Groundpounder
Sharpshot (Shrapnel) with Reflector

Deluxe Class
Goldfire (Goldbug, pretool of Bumblebee)
Skids
Waspinator
Dreadwing (G2, pretool of Megatron)
Skywarp (FoC body)
Scoop
Starscream (Armada body)
Mini-Con 3-Pack Combiner
Nightbeat
Rattrap
Crosscut (pretool of Skids)
Tankor

Voyager Class
Doubledealer (pretool of Blitzwing)
Rhinox
Whirl

Oh good, there are quite a few. Thanks for the info.

Quite like the look of Armada Starscream.

They were announced at the Hasbro panel. No pics yet, so I'm assuming they're in the prototype stage still.

Waiting with impatience for Whirl.

That's one of my most-anticipated upcoming figures.

And then, like maybe the 3rd party Roadbuster lol!

This is an official picture by Hasbro.

Seems spiteful. As if Jetfire wasn't enough.

If only they could get it to moo like those things from Metal Gear Solid 4.

He has a gerwalk mode? But isn't it kind of redundant given that a helicopter is already a VTOL vehicle and gerwalks for jets sort of filled that function (VTOL)

Does seem a bit redundant. There were no transforming helicopters I know of in any of the Macross series, and even if we expand things to include the other shows that were adapted into Robotech, the one that had a helicopter mode had no Gerwalk/Guardian. It did have three modes: Fighter / Helicopter / Battleoid. (Would probably make a cool toy, but I'm pretty sure alas it never had one.
