Transformers Generations
TRANSFORMERS® Generations Deluxe Class: CYBERTRONIAN BUMBLEBEE™
Before he was the silent warrior he is today, BUMBLEBEE was a nonstop chatterbox, charged with carrying the most vital AUTOBOT communications. He was a fearless infiltrator of enemy lines who stuck to the shadows and faded into the background despite his bright yellow armor. His spirit was unbreakable and his friendly humor was invaluable during the first dark days of the war.
Race into action with this fearsome CYBERTRONIAN BUMBLEBEE figure! In robot mode with his deployable blade accessories, this fighter is as tough as they come. When it’s time to chase down his enemies, convert him to Cybertronian Courier vehicle mode so he can “tear up the streets” in hot pursuit!
SUMMARY: Heroic robot fighter converts from fierce robot mode with deployable blade accessories to speedy Cybertronian Courier vehicle mode — and back again! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Ages 5 and up.
TRANSFORMERS® Generations Deluxe Class: CYBERTRONIAN OPTIMUS PRIME™
When he first became leader of the AUTOBOTS®, OPTIMUS PRIME® was not certain he wanted the responsibility. The war with the DECEPTICONS® was going badly, and it looked like there was no end in sight. He vowed to himself and to the warriors under his command that he would never surrender, never retreat, and never stop fighting until the DECEPTICONS were defeated.
Race into action with this fearsome CYBERTRONIAN OPTIMUS PRIME figure! In robot mode with his “rifle” that converts to a blaster accessory, this fighter is as tough as they come.

TRANSFORMERS® Generations Deluxe Class: AUTOBOT DRIFT™
AUTOBOT DRIFT used to fight for MEGATRON®, and was known as one of the most terrible warriors ever to stalk the face of CYBERTRON™. Something happened that changed him, bringing home all the horror he’d inflicted. Since then, he has hunted the DECEPTICONS® from one end of the galaxy to the other, bringing his own brand of justice to the evil robots.
Race into action with this fearsome AUTOBOT DRIFT figure! In robot mode with his dual sword accessories, this fighter is as tough as they come. When it’s time to chase down his enemies, store his “swords” and convert him to sports car vehicle mode so he can “tear up the streets” in hot pursuit!
SUMMARY: Heroic robot fighter converts from fierce robot mode with dual sword accessories to speedy sports car vehicle mode — and back again! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Ages 5 and up.
TRANSFORMERS® Generations Deluxe Class: THRUST®
THRUST was great to have around during the early days of the war, when the DECEPTICONS® won victory after victory. His thundering engines and shouted threats terrified the few AUTOBOTS® that stood against them. It wasn’t until later, when the AUTOBOTS got organized enough to put up a real fight, that THRUST began screaming like an alpha unit and fleeing at the first sign of danger.
Race into action with this fearsome THRUST figure! In robot mode with his twin “cannons” and two firing missile accessories, this fighter is as tough as they come. When it’s time to chase down his enemies, convert him to fighter jet vehicle mode so he can “tear up the skies” in hot pursuit!

Still better than the Cybertron Red Alert mold that was used for BotCon 2009. I really liked the head sculpt for that figure, but the mold doesn't work for Kup IMO. Very mediocre alt-mode. So what I'm trying to say is this: I wouldn't mind WoC BB being repainted into Kup.

Ill have a shelf that goes " Thrust, Thrust, Thrust, Thrust, Thrust, Skyburst."
Which just sounds dirty.

Or maybe it's pronounced with a long 'i' sound, implying he used to be a cassette like Rewind. Either way, I still say the most unfortunate TF name of all time is the individual G2 color-changer named Gobots. I always imagined everyone who met him asking, "So...is there more than one of you in there?"
I'm probably with the majority here in declaring the whole generations line bought on sight, and the PCCers in the maybe-when-I-find-a-good-deal-on-them category.

ausbot wrote:Drift looks like Tigatron!
Oh yeah, I guess. I always thought he bore an uncanny resemblance to the repaint of Override/Nitro Convoy from the end of Cybertron; so much so that I assumed Drift was female in All Hail Megatron until seeing him called a "he" in his spotlight.
Then again, I always thought that pre-BW Botcon set could've repainted Override into Cheetor without a new head sculpt, so, yeah, maybe they should retool this mold into more than just Blurr!
Sorry 'bout the double post.

Megazarak wrote:All very cool figures. I can't remember any videos where they showed it, but hopefully WoC OP can move his wheel "wings" to his back to be more game accurate. Thrust is looking really good, and so is Bumblebee. Drift looks like my favourite of the lot as his design looks great in figure form. All of the 2-pack PCCs look really good, though I'm not too fond of the Aerialbots vs Bombshock and his team as well as the other team leaders. Either way though, he still looks alright and I'll probably get him when his price goes down a little.
In the two video reviews of him that I've seen you are able to move the wheel sections to the back. It must have just been a packaging issue to have him displayed like that. Though I think it's weird that he's not transformed properly in the out-of-package shots.

Oh, for hell's sake!
sorry if i'm the only one irritated by this...

I think the Thrust positioning is more to show that it is different than the Botcon version than anything else.

Yup.
Seibertron: Are you guys looking into moving away from using so many twist ties?
Hasbro: We are looking to move away from them and moving towards smaller packaging which is more biodegradable. In the future you’ll see smaller packages with Tam, which is easier to cut and biodegradable.

Even so, the wings are assembled upsidedown.

I'm starting to wonder if that was done on purpose, to make it even more different than Gentei? I know what I'll be asking at Botcon this year

Given the misassembly issues with repaints we've had the past few years? I don't think so.
