G1 Legends Starscream
G1 Legends Prowl
G1 Legends Megatron (Walther P-38, can be held by Masterpiece Starscream)
NOTE: THESE ARE NOT SMALLEST TFS ... NEW MOLDS! LEGENDS CLASS! PURE LOVE!

Deluxe Skullgrin (Darkmount repaint / remold)
Deluxe G1 Scourge

Deluxe Perceptor (sniper rifle, truck, alternate head might be Reflector)

Voyager Grapple (inferno repaint w/ crane and alternate head, and new feet)

(in Q&A it was hinted that there might be a new Kup figure)


HUNT FOR THE DECEPTICONS
-----------------------------------
Deluxe Terradive
Deluxe Tomahawk
Deluxe Mindset (repaint w/ alternate head)
Deluxe Fallback (Outback reference)

Voyager Fallen (darker colors than what I pictured)
Voyager Highbrow
Voyager Lugnut (looks awesome, more realistic expression, similar paint scheme to TFA version)


POWER CORE COMBINERS
-----------------------------------
Heavytread (tank) w/ Mini-Con Groundspike
Skyhammer (jet) w/ Mini-Con Airlift
Steamhammer / Constructicons
Grimstone / Dinobots


THE ORIGINAL 13
----------------
Aaron Archer talking about story elements ... (not sure if this is for a future toy line or just Hasbro building the fictional mythos). This is stuff for several years done the road. Sneak peak! Doesn't appear to be a toyline at this time. The following is a list of extremely cool drawings that they showed us.

Alpha Trion
Liege Maximo
Vector Prime (time and space)
Prima (warrior of light)
Megatronus (warrior of darkness)
The Fallen (has an interesting new plot twist)


Q&A
-----------------------------
Interesting bits from the Q&A

Everyone was disappointed about the end of TFA
Slipstream is in WFC
No current plans for different size classes in PCC
More girl toys? Stay tuned! Wink! Wink!
More WFC toys? Success breeds more success.
There are no plans at this time for a Toyline for Transformers: Prime

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I missed two of the PCC figures. If anyone has their names, please let us know so that the news story can be updated properly. Thanks!

TFW2005 says that the tank is called Heavytread with Mini-Con Groundspike. And that the jet is called Skyhammer with Mini-Con Airlift.

Wow, I want almost all the Deluxe figures they mentioned!

And Scourge also gets a proper "Classics" style release as well ... very nice.

I'm excited about these, but the thing I am most excited about is that they seem to be going more and more with the idw comics thing. This is mostly because it gives me hope that we might eventually see a proper release of Springer. Also, I hope the WFC stuff sells well, I hope to see a WFC Starscream at some point.

Well, I guess no one can complain that they're not listening to fans anymore. Reading that Generations roster was almost as fangasmic as seeing "The Agenda" for the first time. Thunderwing especially needs a new figure.

Only one minor quibble: Repainting Straxus/Darkmount into Skullgrin is...well...worth a shot, but a more logical repaint would be into (SPOILER ALERT!) Megatron's colors, with a slight remold that allows his head to easily pop on and off.

Hasbro, I was wrong. I thought this was going to be a sucky year, and you've proven me wrong. I'm sorry. This is...incredible. Jazz? Scourge? Kup? Perceptor? I'm overwhelmed. They do listen!

I wonder how well these new Legends will scale to the Smallest TFs. Sounds like an awesome line!

Hasbro's really going great guns this year!

All power and glory to the Hasbro! Bow before their might and benevolence! My onlt complaint is no Thundercracker; I wanted him more than Dirge.

Comment by Dr. Caelus Jun 27, 2010
I think I'm excited about most of those, although now I really wish I had gotten Inferno.

Scourge is good to here, because my Titanium one is a bit too heavy to have hanging over my desk the way he is now...

Comment by Jacob P. Galvatron Jun 27, 2010
My points of interest:

Deluxe G1 Scourge: Well, if that new set comes out, I'll get him to complete the team.

Deluxe Jazz: Little B will be so happy.

Voyager Lugnut: On the fence. I love Lockdown, but I'll have to see him...

Grimstone / Dinobots: Wasn't planning on Powercores, but this one may just draw me in.

Slipstream is in WFC: lols... she has glowy bits on her butt.

More WFC toys? Success breeds more success: Yay.

I've just pooped in my pants. I'm going to have to sell my children to afford all of the plastic awesome that is coming out this year. I think I'll sell the older one... :ic$: ;) But seriously, this is going to be an INCREDIBLE year to be a collector. I'm very excited. Bravo Hasbro...you have redeemed yourself (for the moment) :APPLAUSE:
