The more I see WFC Soundwave, the more I want it.

Literally sums up my thoughts on both...

I originally didn't like the new Soundwave, but after playing WFC he must be mine. He and the rest of them can't come soon enough

There were soooo many times I almost gave in a bought Henkei Thrust, Dirge, and Red Alert.

Soooo glad I didn't cave in.

Alot of good figures coming out in Generations.

Oh my God, Dirge actually looks better than the Takara version. Other than that, everything that is on display there are all bought for me

I expected they'd take the Dirge mold and change the wing detailing to more G1 like. I kinda wish I didn't already have the Takara versions. I didn't get Alert though, so there's still that.

Pretty much everything for Generations has been a must have. My wallet is going to weep this summer....

Now just need Repolabels to do a set to cover up the fire emblems and make a second Red Alert into G1 Breakdown.

The entire Generations line is amazing. Thrust looks excellent. WFC Soundwave has grown on me and will look good next to the Music Label one, Straxus is a badass, and WFC Megs looks ten times better than the classics one. I also think this picture of Red Alert looks a lot nicer than Hasbro's, posted a few days ago. All are must haves in my book.

News posted today that the first wave of Generations toys were popping up all over the US. I believe SW is in wave 3.

In the back right of the Straxus picture, you will see a blurred image of what looks to be the third mode you've been so eager to see.

All beauties, looking forward to purchasing them. Soundwave's looking solid.

I dunno. WFC Megatron doesn't suck, but I'm not overly impressed, either.

...You can have mine.

I don't feel like looking Henkei Dirge's gallery, so I wouldn't know.

I just know that I'll be getting Gen Dirge when I see he's on pegs, just like I'm gonna get Thrust.

Oh man, sweet. I'm loving Dirge and Red Alert.

I'm liking Soundwave a little more, but I'm still unimpressed with his alt mode. Ah, who am I kidding, it's not like I WON'T buy him...

I agree.

He may have some meagerly cheap paint apps. But I still might buy this one...

I'll need another bot to fight WFC Bumblebee, anyway...

these will be mine.... maybe even the war for cybertron ones - wasn't really too keen on the bee and prime but megatron's robot mode looks menacing and will definitely give universe galvatron a run for his money

not a big fan of repaints but i seem to have become a sucker for g1 insired repaints - red alert, dirge and thrust will hopefully make it nto my collection

i would really like to see 3rd party accessory makers release a null ray kit for universe starscream and perhaps a set with other guns for the rest of his crew cos the ones that come with these molds are a) all the same (and in most cases they look rather rubbish) Actually they had done an effort with ramjet's which are different as was the original toy's.

Dirge!!!! I am really happy about that.

Megatron's WFC Bot mode is fantastic. I have to get that sucker.

I already have the Henkei Dirge, Red Alert and Thrust and i still think they look better than Hasbro's, so no regrets there.
