Toy Fair 2013 Coverage: Transformers Generations Gallery and Videos

Love the Generations stuff from the Anniversary line, nothing from this year though. 2014 will be a great year.

To the one who said Springer is "the poor man's Defender", considr yourself slapped in the face, because this guy is BUY ON SIGHT! And to all the Blitzwing fans, happy now?

Also, about time we get some IDW figures, and a proper Orion Pax figure.

About time.

I'm loving the crap out of Trailbreaker. Here's to hoping a Hoist will be remolded from him!

Still pissed about Optimus being Legends-scaled.

The Targetmaster Bumblebee's a buy, just because he's smaller than the first Classics Deluxe, and he still pulls off a nice G1 homage.

I'm curious about Megatron. Does his fusion cannon plug into his arm like it should?

The Deluxe Bumblebee is... questionable, at best. I kinda dig him, but I love me some G1 homages with a modern twist, and in my opinion, I think the Legends is the closest we can get.

Did I mention I'm in love with Blitzwing and Springer?

Just as the larger-scaled Beast Hunters Optimus was derpified because someone doesn't know how to properly transform something, Blitzwing here is mistransformed as well. Here is how he's supposed to look:





Judging by the difference in headsculpts between Seibertron's and El Duque's on-site images and these, it does appear Blitzwing holds a small homage to Animated Blitzwing, that being a face-changing gimmick. I wonder if he has a crazy face...

Aha! So he does have the rotating face gimmick, I thought so !

That's great news. It means I will be getting him after all. I didn't want that Animated style face and was hoping he had a more G1 looking face, and it appears that he does.

I have officially departed the fence .

I am mighty impressed with Springer. All his modes are nice, clean, and crisp, just like the uniform of a United States Marine!

Damn you! I was going to pass on him, but those pics actually make him look good .

Grr...fine, once Takara releases him, I'll get him .

Didn't realize at first that those targetmaster prime and bumblebee figures were legends class. Judging by size they must be commander. Looks good.

I don't quite understand your logic. Voyagers are already going for about $30 here in the US and you wanna wait until it's more expensive? Why?

Better? In what way? Most of Takara's figure are just given a different paint job. Not much better if you ask me.

I think you may just be insane.

Better paint, more paint, different (better looking) plastics much of the time. For most it's probably not worth the additional cost, but to me it is.

I have both versions of many Generations/RTS etc. figures (Takara and Hasbro) from the past several years so I can compare them in-hand and to me, the Takara versions are nearly always superior (though some more than others).

You have to keep in mind though that I'm a very picky collector. I want the very best version of every figure/character that I want, and that usually means that I must pay more and import to get it.

There's nothing wrong with the Hasbro versions, but if the Takara versions are better (which again, they usually are, at least to some degree), then that's what I'll buy.

Springer superior.

Blitzwing and all the other crap inferior.

I can't believe a Springer is coming that is actually worth owning. I guess even Hasblo gets something right every blue moon.
