    Those were mostly examples. I'm saying 'in general' would you buy Generations versions of non-G1 characters?

    Although, perhaps a CW-styled Infernacus (a two-bot torso) with a blocky aesthetic and actual beast modes would be really cool. Maybe a targetmaster Squeeks? Nitro Zeus from the Triggerhappy mould?

    Generations redesigns to make them feel more 'transformery' would be a really cool idea. Sadly, the characters that were never done justice in the films never made the jump to other series outside of a couple of exceptions (like Barricade to, and maybe not canonically, Prime).

    You mean the Tiny Turbo Changers? Haven't seen it widespread but they are starting to pop up at retail now.

    I saw series two once in town and no more. Got Shockwave, Megatron and Squeeks out of it.

    Considering how badly the TLK stuff is going, hell no. Indeed this might be part of why we haven't got any news yet. Right now I don't think the retailers are too fond of the movie line due to the poor moving of the TLK stuff. So Hasbro is going to have to wait for that line to run it's course before they can even begin to get retailers to consider a new line. And if they decide to pack it in with the the Bumblebee movie stuff... Well now they've really got a long wait before it's going to be on shelves. And with the movies delay, does Hasbro really want to risk having that line sit around waiting for the movie, possibly clogging shelves?

    So I suppose it could be Hasbro deciding they don't want to start showing them off as much as a year in advance. Which does suck for the movie fans. And in the meantime there is plenty of movie toys out. For shit like Allspark power that nobody here wants.

    And as for the Titans Returns figures pegwarming... Not really. Not like movie wave one has been. There have been plenty of times I've gone into stores and seen different TR figures out. Yeah it seems like Scourge and Hot Rod sit quite a bit, but there are points in between me seeing them on the pegs where the pegs are bare, or a newer wave is in. Well some of them, briefly. But with the TLK stuff the wave one deluxes have had every peg utterly full, and I've only seen Hound, Nitro Zeus and Megatron once in a sea of grimlocks. Meanwhile the Voyager Opimus and Megatrons stick around only a week or two. Stores massively overordered wave one there, and when they didn't move well enough, it stopped wave two from being ordered.
