Arcees got wide hips and a flat chest. Chromia has a large chest but no hips. I guess you cant have it all...

Does anybody think that Windblade looks a bit mistransformed or does her robot mode look sloppy?

Yep, I feel like that's just how she looks out of the packaging. I'm sure she'l look much better properly transformed.

After looking at these pics I found that...
Arcee: her secondary "undercolor" is white, right? Well, let's just say there is a minor paint difference between the comic cover art and toy that makes the toy seem a little weird... I just don't want to say it. If you compare heavily you might find it.
Chromia: heavy retool, but must have.
Jihaxus: should be repainted in his origional stoplight colors.
Nightbeat: the art on the comic's cover is a lie. Or is it the figure...
Windblade: looks fine.

If and when I do get my hands on Windblade, she's destined to be reborn as Slipstream.

Not sure how I feel about Arcee. Her head sculpt is very nice, but that back kibble will take a bit of getting used to.

I'm more worried about Chromia's back kibble than anything else. Love the Tron-cycle mode.

I love the illusion that the front wheel isn't connected to the main body of the bike. I've always been fond "floaty" sci-fi designs, especially when it defies all logic. "How does the wheel propel the rest of the bike if it's not even connected to it?" "Because SCIENCE!"

I wonder if there will be an Afterburner repaint? Both modes are a match aside from being female, and I'd be totally OK with an obscure gestalt component swapping genders.

They all look great. Nightbeat looks like a very strong use of that mold. Still would have liked to see use of the RTS Jazz mold, but this will still hit the spot.

Jhiaxus seems the weakest, IMO. The wings look a bit awkward. Hopefully we get something more reflective of the Transformers Legends artwork from a day back or so.

I don't care about any of these toys except Arcee. She has been underutilized for decades and I swore to buy and support the character as long as she of course resembled what I saw on the big screen in 1986. This toy, while tiny, is close so I'm gonna buy it. If I can find it, that is. If Arcee were a Voyager Class or above, she woulda been a homerun.

Is it just me or does Chromia transform into a light cycle?

For a "voyager" Arcee, I think you should wait for a MP Arcee. Will that ever happen?

I suppose its personal preferences, theres gee-axe-us, which is how I hear most people say, juh-axus, and jacksus, all really the same phonetically, just different inflections

Pretty sure it's just a matter of time. They're Probably just running through the list for more popular G1 characters first.

And seeing as she's got an 80's scifi alt mode and the original toy was designed by HasTak, there's no need at all to worry about licensing.

I think it's spelled "Jhiaxus", not "Jihaxus."

Anyone want to start placing bets on which of these, like Skids, will never see the light of day in most brick and mortar stores?

Re: New official images of upcoming Generations Deluxes (1592170)
Posted by ZeroWolf on July 21st, 2014 @ 7:08am CDT

Only one I'm not completely sold on is Nightbeat, but I do love his IDW character so it's a probable buy. Love chromia, though it wouldn't be a must buy if I hadnt read the comics.

Problem for me though is the fact that it's likely these will never come to UK shores -_-..

How about the inner robot of Iguanus? That was also a robot that changed in to a similarish bike

I hope something can be done about Arcee's hip displacement.

Her hips appear to be adjustable on the inside of the thighs:

Well...I'm disappointed in nightbeat. Colors just don't seem right to me. It's a shame. I may pick him up, but not hunting him down now. I'm not really a big fan of that mold either

That could work, too. And Iguanus' inner bot already looks like it could be female as it is.

Being as it's taken 28 years to get this one? You tell me, pal.

But seriously, a Voyager and/or Masterpiece would be welcome additions for me.

That Windblade robot mode just seems way too blocky for Windblade, and those legs look funky. I really like how she looks in the comics, and that just isn't a good representation of her if it's transformed correctly. Then again, Hasbro is horrible at transforming their own figures, so there's that hope. I mean, she kinda looks like BW Depthcharge with those wings, but that's just me. The vehicle mode is fine, albeit clearly transformed poorly, but I think that's the strongest mode for the figure.

The Nightbeat is hilariously not the same mold as the comic depicts, but either way, I'm kinda fine with the Bumblebee mold for him. I still think that the Jazz mold might be the better of the two, but I'm fine with the Bee mold for the moment. I'd like to see how it turns out in person.

Chromia is actually one of my favorite figures of this set -- it's actually a really cool representation of her character. Loving the alternate mode first and foremost, and I love the way the wheels fold in to her legs like that. The only thing I'm not really digging on is the "hood" that's behind Chromia's head. It's a little bit larger than it should be, in my opinion.

Jihaxious... I'm not digging on. I know he's just a retool of Starscream, but Starscream honetsly does the mold more justice. Plus, that cockpit just doesn't really fit with the rest of the jet. I dunno. Maybe I'm just being picky. Plus, I think it needs a bit of green, for some more G1 accuracy. Plus to make it not practically monochrome.

Finally, a G1-style Arcee figure! I've been waiting and waiting on this one, and she looks great! I'd complain about how her hips are... Really far apart, but if I recall correctly, that's how Arcee has always been. But that vehicle mode is glorious for Arcee -- really, really liking the way that looks.

I'm excited for all of these. Even the weird 11th hour retools. Those are the Transformers toys which are obscure, but cool. Seriously though, these toys look IMO like the end of a line. I don't think this is the last wave, but judging by what I'm seeing, it's looking close.
For the love of god though, please squeeze out a slipstream before the line ends

Well, most of the "Thrilling 30 exclusives" we were supposed to get have already been released at retail, and that was the main theme of the new version of Generations. Hasbro's probably planning a new subline for the movie toys, and that may bring another redesign for Generations. Either that, or a conglomerated mess of continuities like the 2010 line.

Here are some tidbits that are good to know:

- The Movie lines will last only until the end of the year.
- Generations will continue into 2015 alongside Robots in Disguise, the sequel to Prime. Generations will retain the familiar Size Classes and several figures have already been announced:

Legends (no partners announced or confirmed)
Powerglide
Thundercracker (repaint of Starscream)
Windcharger (retool of Tailgate)
Bombshell

Leader
Megatron
Armada Megatron (retool of Megatron)

Plus, the theme seems to be Combiner and Superion has been teased.

Maybe, I personally find him too broad and his head too small. Thats the same way I felt about the voyager beast hunter prime so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

What has intrigued me just now was the mention of more toys in the upcoming RID line. Which ones? Are we talking about the same line that the Prime toys came from?

Also, as crazy as the 2010 transformers line was in terms of continuity, it is easily my favourite line of toys in recent years (animated is second)

EDIT

Oh wait, RID IS the sequel to Prime. I read that post wrong. Oh well.

Blame Hasbro on this one. "Robots in Disguise" is part of the Prime series, both as part of Prime itself and as a sequel. It's enough to give you a headache if you think about it too much. :BOOM:

For simplicity's sake, I suggest adopting this:

RiD: Robots in Disguise (2001)
PRiD: Prime Robots in Disguise (2013)
RiD 2015: Robots in Disguise (2015)
