They have been a smattering of sightings. IIRC they're in the TRU computers.

I have still not seen anything remotely resembling new releases in Southampton, for shame.

I had wave one and sold out very quickly. Optimus and Bumblebee should also be in wave two (along with Megatron and Darkmount), which I'm expecting next month.

Dinobot team - Would rather this was Dinoforce and coloured appropriately. Just doesn't seem very Dinobotty to me.
Thunderwing - Urrr - Is that jet mistransformed, because I can't believe the feet are meant to stick out so much. And is there any pretender-esque gimmick to it?
Generations Scourge walks into a pub and the barman says "Why the long wingspan?"
Grapple - YES, glad they've remoulded Universe Inferno.
Legends Megatron - BUHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHA?

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 ?

Post by blueshift on Jul 30, 2010 12:14:19 GMT
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.
