Seibertron.com member Transformermegazord has managed to to get a hold of the first wave of the new IDW styled Transformers Generations Deluxes, and posted a review of Orion Pax. These figures will come packed with a version of the respective Transformers Spotlight comic from IDW Publishing. Enjoy his review embedded below.
Seibertron.com member chuckdawg1999 has following up his review of Consturctobts Starscream with a look at his wave mate Ironhide. Enjoy his review embedded below.
Taking a second look at this new line I've come to a few realizations: first, all the molds share the same core transformation, the only differences between figures comes from the add on parts. Secondly, I don't really see the need for four different price points. With that said Ironhide is a fun figure that has all the articulation we can expect from the line in an interesting truck form. While I don't enjoy the truck mode as much as I do Starscreams' jet I can recommend this figure for a pick up if you want to try the line.
BATTLETIDE! Opposing factions and forces meet head on, as the battle for
Cybertron (and indeed the future) begins in earnest. BLUDGEON, SOUNDWAVE, GALVATRON, STARSCREAM, and—caught in the middle—the Autobots, most crucially their greatest warrior ULTRA MAGNUS! And HOT ROD meets his maker. Literally.
Or even legen...
Story
In issue 92, Hot Rod and the Dinobots were headed towards Cybertron's core, as the surface was under the attack of Soundwave and the Decepticons, with the Wreckers and Ultra Magnus defending their home planet. Meanwhile Bludgeon and Galvatron are on their way too, and that's where we start with issue 93.
Insert obvious joke here
And it's a Furman-tastic issue at that: major players play major roles, with favourite characters becoming really really interesting and the plots seeding what might develop with issue #0, too. And, finally, we're getting closer to the heart of the events, with everyone almost on Cybertron.
Gettit? Heart? Core?
The Bludgeon aspects of the story are only briefly worked on, but the multiple strands do seem to be converging into one single narrative. Same with Galvatron, though there are some twists, albeit predictable.
We all know what happens when you monologue like that
The stories all seem to blend really well, here, and the narrative is becoming more and more cohesive and unified, without losing a degree of originality. And old-time readers and fans will get several kicks out of references, subtle and explicit, to some previous work in the franchise!
Art
This issue marks Guido Guidi's debut on the ReGeneration One artistic team, at least for the interior art (as he provided all B covers in the run so far). And it's good. Real good. There's one panel in particular which I personally adored, working amazingly well with Furman's 'timey' script, and that I'll leave for readers to discover.
What? What can you see?!
Not all the credit goes to Guidi, though: Baskerville's inks make the pencilwork as similar to the previous style as possible, while still keeping their original take on it, and JP Bove's colours, always the highlight of these issues, really help in the effect, retaining their usual eye-sparkling qualities.
That's space, and it looks mouth-watering
The artistic continuity, which seems to be the new fan-thing, is kept beautifully intact, and Guidi, Baskerville and Bove do a great job of making everything blend gorgeously together. Mowry's lettering is consistent if not overly creative, but everything just works.
Thoughts Spoilerish ahead
This is Furman at his best. The characters are there, the plots are there, the references are there. It's all there. There are hints at several continuities that have been explored, or might still be, and it all works so nicely with the new artistic team.
The old-style editorial notes are there, too!
Definitely pick this one up, even if it's just for the one panel that I still will not spoil. Or the other one. Or that one. Though that one's cool too. Oh, and that one's nice as well. I think you know where I'm going with this..
Seibertron.com member chuckdawg1999 gives us a review of Transformers Constructbots Starscream. Note that the figure's head comes with a factory paint error, this seems to be quite common for this set. Check it out embedded below.
This is an awesome first step for this new line. Pictures don't do the figures justice. Articulation is top notch and transformation is really spot on. Get some of these figures as soon as you can!

Seibertron.com member chuckdawg1999 has shared a video review of Takara Tomy's Transformers Generations TG-20 Ratbat. This figure is a great redeco/retool of the previously released Scourge mold that gives us Senator Ratbat prior to becoming one of Soundwave's minions. Check out his review below.
This is a fantastic repaint/remold of a fantastic mold. The metallic paint with a new head really makes this feel, and look like an entirely new figure. Highly recommended!
