It's a Dinobot team rather than *the* Dinobots. Like both of the new PCC 5-packs and am very surprised to find Steamhammer isn't a repaint of SledgeGenerations looks superb. |

UHHH!!!! GHAAA!!!! AAARRKK!!!
Sputtering Space Bridges those pics have blown my mind!!!!!
JJJJAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How freakin' amazing does Jazz look?!?! Oh my!
Perceptor, Tracks, Scourge and Windcharger also look fantastic!
I like the look of Thunderwing, but I'd hoped they'd do a Stormbringer version, with the extra robot mode, and make him enourmous like.
But overall I'm freakin' thrilled by these! Roll on sping 2011!
JJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thunderwings nose cone separates into a little drone like the originals inner robot, but it doesn't transform.
They also have created new heads for a lot of these for future repaints. I know Thunderwing was one of them.

Has Scourge got a Targetmaster on his left plugged into something ?

I believe Scourge's gun is modelled after his Targetmaster, but isn't a targetmaster

After Cyclonus, Hotshot and hound any deluxe with a suitable mini companion that doesnt get one is a bit disappointing. Jazz could have come with Steppers targetmaster. Thunderwings drone is somewhere inbetween, but Scourge not getting a targetmaster after Cyclonus did is a bit annoying.
I wonder if it was to do with separating them from the PCC line.

Or possibly the budget went towards remoulded heads for repaint purposes instead?

I imagine it comes down to the size and complexity of the figures, whether they can add another minifigure in there. Hound was much smaller than the other deluxes due to Ravage, and I wager that Cyclonus' engineering is simpler than the rest, meaning less plastic (and yet, such a nice figure!)

True I also think, those three might have been a test run at PCC to see if minicons would be popular.

All that money not spent buying any Movieverse figures is going to be put to good use in the first part of 2011.  |

I'm surprised they didn't show Skullgrin there. Repaint of Straxus with the "ram skull" head. It was the only figure I remember seeing at Botcon that wasn't there (although there may have been other Power Core combiners now that I think about it). Perhaps the figure isn't finished yet. Most of them were just concept art at the time.

All very good! For the first time I am interested in the PCC now the Dino team have been introduced. Dinoforce repaints would be most welcome.
I hope Windcharger won't be the only scout-class Generations figure.

With this lot I can only think of THREE Autobot cars that haven't had decent modern updates. OK two of the ones tht are done are outside the Classics/Universe/Generations triumvate but I doubt we'll see a better Wheeljack than Energon Downshift and the Movie Hoist will do for me.
The three left by my reckoning are Kup, Skids & Trailbreaker

I think they're doing a Kup, since there is a Blurr on the way. Looking back at these, I have to say Tracks is a little less easy on the eye. It looks like he has 6 arms in bot mode.  . Still, just an early picture. Updated Skids would be nice. ===KEN |

They look like knives but could be to do with the wings I suppose.....

I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't transformed properly.

JJJJAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perceptor is looking nicer and nicer to me n'all. Blaster repaint? Oh, or even Reflector?!?
Yeah I hope there are more Scout Generations as well. I'd like to see Gears, Cosmos and Bumblebee and Cliffjumper also- lots of oportunity for repaints there!
I love Energon Wheeljack too, but a Generations/Classics one would be preferable, should be a better looking figure with out the power pants.
So yep, in terms of '84/'85 not many left to go. Well done Hasbro! Who's left?
Wheeljack, Skids, Trailbreaker, Blitzwing (crying out for a decent Blitzwing), Gears, Brawn (Delux pref), Hoist repaint out of Trailbreaker, Frenzy, Rumble.
We're also missing the 3 original Insecticons, and a six piece combing Constructicon set.

Brawn was a Legend a few years back. You won't get a better Hoist than the Movie version |

Bollocks, I was looking forward to Generations Scourge (somehow) being as awesome as Henkei Cyclonus, so I could have the pair. Scourge just looks crap.

Not sure about the feet sticking out behind the back end of Thunderwing in those first pictures. I do like the Jazz though - it is a nice update.
The vehicle mode on Scourge is quite nice as well. There aren't enough flying wing Transformers.

Better look at Scourge, the face looks nice, and I the alt mode is looking better to me, but what's going on with his fore arms?
They all look very nice, but Thunderwing will look weird next to the Bludgeon I intend to get soon being only Delux.
But Jazz. Oh boy oh boy! JJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Generations Scourge seems to be almost the same airbourne vehicle as one of the Star Saber Mini-Cons (the one that becomes the sword 'hilt').
