Isn't that the petition that was revealed to be a hoax?

When has the mass fanrage ever distinguished Hasbro or Takara when ranting on such issues? Nigel, I dunno, it just came up when I was trying to find the Japanese store that had them as exclusives and thought I'd post.

IIRC we mentioned some of these on the Zoom chat the other week.
Didn't know Sideswipe had a G2 version lined up prior to the Customise Class
LOVE the Hardhead, been waiting years to see it in colour.
Text indicates they're two sets of two packs - Reflector vs Sideswipe and Hardhead vs Ratbat

The Reflector and Hardhead heads have never been used but the Ratbat head did eventually surface in the Japanese Generations line. I had one of these on order and cancelled it which I now regret as it's worth £££££ tfwiki.net/wiki/Ratbat_(G1)/toys#GenerationsSideswipe's G2 deco did, as I mentioned, see the light of day in the Botcon 2010 customise class. I coveted one of these for years but it cost ££££. Thankfully the Siege Covert Clone has satisfied my G2 Sideswipe deluxe lust. tfwiki.net/wiki/Sideswipe_(G1)/toys#Timelines

Nice to finally see what that Reflector would have looked like.

Very much prefer the prototype Sideswipe to the custom class one.

I've only ever seen that once in the wild. At an MCM, I think.

Had to do a bit of digging on this - and rethread some quotes upthread where a previous merge had made things difficult - AND rewire an external line but.... tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers:_Generations_(toyline)#Deluxe_ClassGenerations petered out in the UK after w2, Megatron & Darkmount Skullgrin was w5. Then 9ish months later THIS happened: The case had loads of the toys missing in the UK including Skullgrin. Can remember buying nearly an entire set for Nick Roche and lugging them up to AA.

Considering he was an original creation for the Marvel UK comics, did the UK ever get a release of the Generations Deluxe 'Darkmount' Figure?
I've seen plenty of listings for it on eBay, but nothing available in the UK - every available item seems to be in the USA.

Yes, he was in w2 with WFC Megatron. That wave made it to Asda, TRU and others at the time, before the doors closed on the Generations line in the UK: From the sightings thread tmukhub.proboards.com/post/99316/threadRemember that Generations for £9.99 shelf tag I saw in ASDA ? Filled with Generations Wave 2 today. So if anyone needs a WFC Optimus, WFC Bumblebee, WFC Megatron & Darkmount(Straxus) this is where to go. MOST of the Generations toys did EVENTUALLY make it to the UK courtesy of a case of "grey imported" deluxe that TRU got - see a couple of posts up at tmukhub.proboards.com/post/480725/thread

Yeah, I definitely picked my Darkmount up from somewhere in the UK. Pretty sure it was in the Portsmouth Toysaurus.

Just picked up an unboxed but excellent condition Darkmount figure from eBay...for a bargain £40!
Seller goes by Gringo2401 from Montrose. Is this anyone here?

Not to the best of my knowledge.
Straxus/Darkmount has aged very well. There's been rumours recently of a new leader version from Galvatron, which I'd buy, but this is still a pretty decent toy.

I do regret passing on my Darkmount. It is on the re-acquire list.
