Look too fat for CDs. Cassettish saped would have been better. But anyway, just good that they appear to be doing a whole set of the main cassett characters!

The pattern on top is vaguely reminiscent of a Golden Disc or somesuch. I expect the game will clarify. Just as long as they end up in a Titan disc launcher at some point....

And speaking of cassettes, an anthropomorphic Laserbeak just seems wrong to me.

I slightly foolishly decided to order the four Asian generations deluxe off ebay hours before the SDCC reveal, still I'll have them in a few weeks for only about double UK retail. And given Hasbros recent track record I'd rather be sure of a wheelie. Same here! Nevermind, at least I know not to do the same for the Voyagers now.

I concur.
About the non-anthropomorphic Laserbeak thing.
Although conversely I have no problem with Ravage being anthropomorphic- infact I welcome it! Hence my love of Alternators Battle Ravage!

Oh yeah, looking good, baby. Grimlock's not looking a tad 'Animated' though is he? In the upper leg area? Seriously, I'm not being rude ;D. Something about his thigh area, and maybe chest area now I think about it, looks more 'Transformers Animated' as opposed to 'G1'. And HOW BIG IS HE REALLY? I MEAN REALLY?

I am sad to have missed out on Amazonian Unicron. Oh well.
I am terribly confused by the multiple Bruticii though. Is the G2 one the set that will be in Normal Shops?

The Wreckers look slightly unbelievably awesome, it has to be said. Which Wreckers characters are represented? Spotted Roadbuster and Whirl.

I didn't expect them to repaint this set as Wreckers with Emirate head - but we'll have to see pack shots to see the name of the combined form if they go with Ruination or change it?

Dear Hasbro
Why would you go to the trouble of making an Impactor figure, and then make him orange?
And why is Emirate Xaaron's head stuck on top of a combiner?
Love, Blueshift

Ian: Impactor, Topspin & Twin Twist, Whirl & Roadbuster
You know this is going to lead to a Wreckers repaint the next time there's a G1 Bruticus rerelease?

Wait, there is a Wreckers repaint of the Generations Combaticons? This has passed me by completely. I wasn't going to get them but if they are doing an Impactor toy then he and his comrades may be a necessity.

For a moment I thought they had called the combined form Rack'n'Ruin. I feel a little disappointed now. Still the new heads all look good as far as I can see. Well Roadbuster and Whirl and the combiner one.

Hmmm, intrigued by the Wreckers set. I wouldn't get all of them but sort of tempted by Impactor... bemused by colour scheme though. Have been desperate for an Emirate Xaaron toy since the 80s. Is the closest we will get his head atop a combined Wreckers

Apologies if some one has already said this but:
"WRECKERS COMBINE!" Well, I thought it was funny...

Better quality promo shots www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/2012-transformers-generations-official-hasbro-product-images-175488/Dear Hasbro Why would you go to the trouble of making an Impactor figure, and then make him orange? And why is Emirate Xaaron's head stuck on top of a combiner? Love, Blueshift My guess is that yellow and purple had already been taken by G2 Onslaught. So orange and dark blue were used. It might also have had something to do with creating a more Xaron like combined form. Just to fully milk this mould we need an AmazonBBTS exclusive Nu Wreckers repaint with Rotorstorm, Ironfist, Leadfoot/Guzzle, Pyro and Rack n Ruin (okay not so new there but RnR must be feeling a little left out by now, even Deaths heads getting a toy).

Hmmm, looking at the Wreckers again I wonder if they will be released individually? Can't justify how much space getting all of them would take up but quite fancy the Impactor, which will hopefully come with the odd Xaaron head.

I actually think that Ruination is a better name for a combined form of Wreckers than it is for a combined form of Combaticons. (Of course, the idea of combining Wreckers remains as daft as it was when Messrs Roberts and Roche made a joke of it a while back in a certain comic.... But this does add an extra layer of amusement to that gag.)

I don't touch Amazon with a bargepole. I understand it's a shared exclusive with BBTS if that helps.

I'm sure I read in a BotCon report one year that Aaron Archer had nixed Impactor due to his being a purple Autobot. Might explain the orange.
I hope they're released individually too, there's a couple I wouldn't mind having (Twintwist especially) but I've no interest in a full set.
