Megatron can be held by MP Starscream. Did you know there's a Prowl legend in Wave 2? I've added an extra one onto my BBTS order for you. I love you, Phil. I love you in a way only a man can love another man. |

I'll forget you said 'eh' towards a Prowl toy, Blue', simply 'cos you're pretty, but don't let it happen again, or the real Prowl will be very cross. He's surprising vain about his toy likenessesseses you know! I think he's a cracking Prowl. Legends has never been high on my list (no, nothing to do with the size issue!). Might start taking an interest. Trailbreaker looks cool as well. |

He could be couldn't he?! Very similar! Wouldn't mind that. Jazz and Prowl have always been buddies in my little world. |

Me too! I happened upon another Toys'r'us in a mall in Jeddah and they only had the same three old TFs that the other branch had!

Or alternately "The 'Challenge at Cybertron' set without the handicap of having a Universe Galvatron in it......" Karl That Matrix is from another toy but I can't quite place it. Any ideas? |

It's a little like the one in New Year Convoy - note the slot for it to rest on the divider in prime's chest. |

I think it had just reminded me of the Cybertron version. www.tfu.info/2006/Autobot/GFOptimusPrime/optimusprime.htmBut it's not that one. It does look more like the New Year version, but somehow it doesn't seem likely to me to me that they'd include a new or modified mould in a repaint/repackage set like this. A straight repaint/reissue of an existing Matrix seems more likely. Then again, thinking about sprues, perhaps it is a new mould; it must be a relatively cheap item to produce. |

It looks exactly like the NY convoy one to me, even down to the holes for the chain to make it into a necklace

So...what exactly are the toys in Generations Waves 3 and 4 then? I have lost track of who is in what wave.
I have the figures I wanted from waves 1 and 2 (Thrust and Straxus...though I would be tempted by Megatron and Prime if I saw them on sale).

Sweet as a nut! I hope the crane arm stashes a bit more neatly than that, though.

Was just going to order one from Kapow, but they're out of Soundwaves. Can anyone suggest a reliable online retailer that stocks the Generations Soundwave? Preferably one based in the UK, if possible. Thanks!

Someone pointed out all the characters on the cover are from Classic-Gen so I'm wondering if there are plans at Hasbro for the remoulded Unicron?
Fingers crossed.

Not holding my breath, but it would be nice. I fancy the new Unicron but not at the three-figure sum it goes for!

No, I'm notpaying that much for it. Especially when existing Unicron doesn't come out to play that much.
Note to self: Must write Unicron review.

That VS pack + comic is incredible. Must get, even though I have Cyclonus and 3 Matrixes already.
More VS packs and comics are welcome!

Grapple is a must! And he's a 'Solar Storm' Grappel this time... Whatever that is Definitely want. Ooooh me too! He's as close to the 'Lemon-Burning-Justice' RiD Prime as I'm ever going to get. |

Will get that Grapple. Pre-order in for the Cyclonus & Rodimus. Pack in comics are always a win with me.

I've had the info for waves 3 and 4 and am surprised at what they're supposed to contain.
Wave 3
WFC Megatron, Soundwave and Bumblebee, Darkmount, Red Alert and Drift.
Wave 4
WFC Megatron, Optimus and Soundwave, Red Alert, Blurr and Dirge.
Looks like Thrust will be the money maker on the secondary market, then!
It's a pity Generations isn't generally making it to shop shelves, as it would be interesting to see which of Drift and Blurr would win in the sales stakes.

That's a lot of toys per wave! Wonder what the case assortment will be.
Glad I picked up the one Thrust I saw on shelves then!
