Cosmos & Swerve are processing @ BBTS!! Woot

Which is great, except I was planning to ship them along with other Generations figures that got delayed. So I now I have to choose between paying more than I wanted to for shipping, or leaving them in my POL for several weeks or months.

I'll ship in June when everything is suppose to come in. I mean waited this long.

Holy hell, he looks awesome.

I'm glad that chrome is coming back into vogue. Gotta love the shiny stuff. I rather like the Macross influences too, and I really like how damned unique he is. Slavish homages are all very well and good (We still have Classics Jetfire after all) but every so often it's nice to have something new. He's got a really dynamic look to him (dem proportions) and oh, that jet mode. I mean, I'd display that thing in jet mode if I was the displaying type. It's just so smooth and angular and...it's...PERFECT.

Literally my only gripe is the hollow things and upper arms. Still, I reckon you could probably fill them in with putty or cap them off with plasticard or something.

Jesus. I need this so bad.

Out of interest, is the Titanium 6" Jetfire any good? I do like the unique design a lot, but I don't know if he's actually a good toy or not...

Nope. The paint on the diecast parts chips easily, and the joints are really floppy.

Is that how they all are? I thought it might have been just mine. Too bad, I actually like how he looks. His jet mode is pretty solid, at least mine is.

Is anyone spotting the Cosmos / Swerve legend packs at stores yet?

Transformers Generations Legends Class Gears and Acid Storm Transformers Carded Pictures

[Autobot032]

Transformers Colombia, a Facebook fan page, has provided the first official in and out of package images of the upcoming Generations Voyagers Roadbuster and Sky-Byte, plus Legends Class Acid Storm with Venin and Gears with Eclipse, courtesy of group member Felipe León Nájera.

Roadbuster has been desired since G1, especially a complete one due to some of his very small accessories being an absolute pain to keep or obtain, so this is big news for a lot of people. He's a nice G1 update figure that's been in high demand and now, our wait is just about over.

Sky-Byte is a fan favorite due to his characterization in 2001's Transformers Robots In Disguise television show, based off of Takara's Car Robots that had aired in 2000. Sky-Byte was originally a redeco of Transmetal 2 Cybershark, but this time he's getting his own brand new mold!

Gears is another fan favorite, but this time, this little guy is scaled to work with Titan Class Metroplex, and is a redeco of the previously released Swerve. (You can see the galleries of Metroplex and Swerve by clicking on their names.)

Acid Storm is a redeco of Starscream, based on a random background character used in one episode of the original Generation 1 TV show. (You can see the Starscream gallery here.)

We've mirrored the images below:

Excited for both, but especially Sky-Byte.

Groovy robo-shark
Please get in my Pile of Loot
Much enjoyment now

[Sabrblade]

Is Sky-Byte mistransformed in robot mode?

[Diem]

Sky-Byte's shark mode, sigh.
Why can't it be straight, not curved?
Always jumping, blah.

[Sabrblade]

Sky-Byte's shark mode, sigh.

That would be nice, yes.
But this shows him in motion,
Something unique, no?

Call me fussy but,
a posable tail would rock.
Better than RID though.

[Nemesis Maximo]

Man, Roadbuster looks so good, ESPECIALLY from the feet up. As long as he's in the back of my shelf, those clown shoes will remain hidden... FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

[Diem]

Whoa, Gears' headsculpt went wrong.

[Mindmaster]

So am I the only one who thinks a little silver or white to the shark eyes will let them pop? Plus, it's accurate to how he appeared in the cartoon.



This was seriously the best image I could find.

[MightyMagnus78]

Roadbuster.

A posable tail!
I did not think of that one.
Yes that would be cool!

But, could it be done
In a feasible manner
With the robot mode?

[Cycl0ne]

With a different robot head sculpt and and making the shark body more organic than robotic. I can see Sky-bite being repainted as the original beast wars Cybershark (one of my favorite beast wars characters). And even if the shark head doesnt get remolded into that of hammerhead, I still would like it. Since one of my problems with the original BW Cybershark was that the shark mode look to bulky for a hammerhead, but for a Great White I think it will look really nice! I would totally be sold on that!!

If they wre gonna redeco him into Cybershark, it'd be a completely wasted opportunity not to make him into Transmetal 2 Cybershark.

[Nerv103]

Roadbuster looks really good and I need the Mini Acid Storm next to my Masterpiece, for some reason I love the green Rainmaker.

Looks like it's his arm
Ball joint witchcraft a go go!
That's what I'm hoping.

Could be possible
Looks like some joint's in there for
tail-wagging, maybe
