    Yep. Disappointing that we can't round out the 3 Decepticon triple changers. :(

    Isn't Generations to be an ongoing line?

    I'd lean towards them getting to Blitzwing eventually. If not in Generations, maybe elsewhere.

    Autobot Triple changers, i'm not fussed about really.

    I don't think Straxus can really be called a triple changer any more than RotF Soundwave can.

    Brawl's worse - laugh.

    And to make matter's worse there's two Bumblebee's that are nearly the same across to sets.

    And none of them are the Battleblades version... I might have been OK with a Battle Blades Stealth Bumblebee or Cliffjumper - but two more identikit BB's is just taking the Michael now.

    I want Generations Boxed sets like F-15-Bots such as Thundercracker, Sunstorm, Jet Trooper and Rainmakers of any sort... I don't have a burning desire for 2 more DX Bumblebee's when there's likely only going to be another half dozen of the stupid things in 2011 anyway when the 3rd movie comes out.

    I was going to count them - but frankly - I'm scared too.

    --------

    P.s.

    Is Mindwipe a Triple changer deliberately or accidently ?

    Let's all hope thought that it's Hot Rod and not Rodimus Prime as the next MP. We all know that one of the fan project groups will put out a great Rodimus Prime upgrade set where as it would be MUCH harder to turn Rodimus Prime into Hot Rod via add on parts. Plus, the trailer for Rodimus would jack up the price like $100 knowing Tak/Tom.

    Is anyone else thinking that we may see 2 MPs this year? Looking at this page: WELCOME TO TRANSFORMERS 2010 - ￾¤•iƒ‰ƒCƒ“ƒiƒbƒv￾@| TRANSFORMERS GENERATION you can note the two planet formers (with the same points), the two two-packs (with the same points) and then two "yet to be announced" 3 point toys.

    If the points indicate price then these 2 are priced above the planet formers yet below MP-04 so that to me indicates 2 MPs.

    With the year being what it is... Maybe Rodimus Prime AND either Galvatron OR maybe Ultra Magnus with armour?

    Though yes, an MP Shockwave would be nice too.

    EDIT: Only other item I could see going for that price would be something like a Cyclonus/Scourge Encore re-issue 2-pack.
