That's sad. I am tempted by that Prime, but I really don't want the trailer. Going to have to wait and see if one turns up without one at Toy-Fu one of these years...

I'd buy a better 3P trailer if one was made. The Prime is fine, but the trailer is rubbish. I'm going to have a go with the Toyhax labels next time I do an order there.

If a toy is £46 and half of it is pish it's a no-sale from me. I'm quite happy with Siege Prime anyway.

If it's anything like Siege there'll be three more releases of it anyway.

Well we've already seen the exciting dead version. Presumably for which the grey trailer will be... a bit more grey.

Thing is, if they did a G2 release of it I would order within seconds.

Earthrise Cliffjumper has arrived. I wonder how long he can stay in the box for...

I must post this here, because here I know there is a Shockprowl who will understand.
Cliffjumper has been freed, but

He is too big to scale with the rest of my Generations Mini-bots! A scant few millimeters...
BY MILLIMETERS BETRAYED.
(He's a good toy apart from that though)

Yes indeed. Rather than helping to fill a gap he's kinda started a new aesthetic. I lined up all my 84 minibot generations versions the other day with the intention of putting a photo on here. It doesn't look right at all.

I do quite want that Cliffjumper toy but am patiently waiting for a discount. Not paying Deluxe price for a toy that isn't a Deluxe!

No, it never does. But you've got to wonder where Generations is going in the next few years. I'm beginning to run out of characters I want new figures of.

Cliffjumper is really good; I didn't feel at all let down by the size for a deluxe price, the complexity, quality and accessories make up for it. What I _did_ feel let down by was the partsforming element. That does slightly spoil it.

That doesn’t really bother me. Nor does the price. I’m curious to see how much will change for the inevitable Bumblebee retool, as he’s already got BB’s arms.
It is just that scale thing. He’s fine with Legends Bee, so I guess they can stand together for a while while I work through this.
His combined cannon is too big and unwieldy though, I’m not a fan.

Bugly arrived yesterday, not in quite as good a condition as the pictures of it implied but, it will do as a stop gap.

Earthrise Prime is nice and all (apart from the trailer, which is pish), but there’s also very much an element of “And..?” to it. It’s just nice. Not exciting. They really need to move on to non-G1 characters. But this is known.

Agreed. I loved that Windcharger. Thought he was great. Now he... isn't.
The simplified construction of the legends doesn't stand up to Cliffjumper. Soon as you're dealing with ball joint elbows it just looks cheap next to Deluxe standard joints.
