I love the cartoon accurate head on Windcharger there. Also, the bumper chest works for me. Sweet! He's even got his electro magnetic ray there! (It's on the right arm)

I wonder what the alternate head mold will be? At the very least, we should be getting a Tailgate and Rook repaint out this mold.

Windcharger looks real good.

Hopefully there'll be a Tailgate version of this mold later on.

Brimstone should have been repainted into another Junkion to go with the upcoming Wreck-Gar

First thought: 'Junkion?' Second thought: 'Nah.' :lol:

Windcharger's bought! Makes me wish I hadn't trashed my keychain version, and glad I didn't sell my Alternator, even if it's not really him.

Ugh, that was terrible.

No it wasn't, that was awesome!

lol, indeed. Almost as good as your avatar. :lol:

Also, I wish Hasbro wouldn't go so crazy with the images. The colors are really saturated and very pinkish. Could do with a lot more of a natural look.

That Windcharger is faeces hot! Not a fan of the Scout class typically, but this is an instant buy.

Generations Windcharger is so taking me back to G1 minibots. I love it!

A rubsign on a scout class? Anyway, Windcharger is a buy on sight.

I'm so confused with Brimstone and Grimstone. Oh well, the G one in PCC dino mode looks much better.

Anyone else getting a Tarantulus vibe from that bike?

Windcharger looks amazing. He's going to look great along with the likes of G1 Prowl, Encore Ironhide + custom head and Robotmasters Mirage. I know he's meant to be a mini-bot but in the UK comics, most Autobots were drawn the same size.

I love Basic/Scout cars because they look well with my beloved Diaclones.

I will say one thing. The head is great, cartoon accurate but it still reminds me of Megatron's G1 toy. Maybe we could get Megaplex out of this or am I the only one who sees this?

I still don't care for the Brimstone mold (too skeletal), but I'll HAVE to buy Windcharger since he's a sweet homage to one of my favorite old G1 toys.

Surprised no one noticed that the gold & fuschia paint job plus the motorcycle mode is somewhat reminiscent of...

Windcharger is an awesome modernization of the character, definate get!

Someone help me out on the scale of a "scout" class. In the generations line I've been pretty much sticking to the "deluxe" class I suppose (I haven't paid too much attention to classes) with sunstreaker, sideswipe, prowl, etc.

I wasn't a fan of the legends (too small and simple if you ask me) but where does scout fall in there? midway between deluxe and legend maybe? If you stood that windcharger next to say deluxe hound, where would he reach? Shoulder height? waist?

Scouts can vary a little in height, but most fall around abdomen tall compared to an average deluxe. Give me a minute and I can snap a photo of a few Scouts next to Uni Hound.

With the G2 nostalgia at Botcon, hopefully at some stage we'll get a head remold and repaint of Windcharger as Zap/Windbreaker.

Rubsigns are providers of tireless fun that lasts for hours. Therefore, I must get it.

Okay, I'm undecided. Wind Charger LOOKS very G1, but i can't decide if his head looks more like Windcharger or Megatron...

Ugh, that was terrible. Anywho, 2011 is looking good, now if we can just get everything from Generations into the stores before the peg space is taken over by Movie 3, we will be in good shape!

Terrible... but accurate.

Windcharger, prepare for my neo-G1 shelf!

Go with Windcharger. If it helps, go look at Alt. Decpeticharge or even BT Arcee, who has Windcharger's intended head mold.

Windcharger being one of the Very first Transformers I ever got as a kid, I was really excited to see him in the generations lineup, though I'm a little disappointed he's not Deluxe class. I will get him when he comes out without a second thought.
