This also gives us a shot at Toxitron.  

 

WTF??

I never got the last Mag, and the next one is out??

GRRRRR

(And before anyone states the obvious, I've sent 2 emails to TFCC using the link on the Club homepage....and got NO response at all)

 

  to no trailer for Roddy, but at least we know it is getting a US release(and soon!) Any word on the Targetmaster? G2 Prime sounds great, not sure if I want to wait for the inevitable Scourge, can't wait to see these when my issue comes in.

 

Im thinking on canning one of my pre-orders for Takara's Roddy and buy one Hasbro for play and the other MISB. Or fuck it, keep all three. That why I can have one as Roddy, one as Hot Rod and one MISB.

 

LaserPrime is totally unexpected, but an interesting choice.

I would've gone with Powermaster Prime myself, but that would require a larger size class, and may conflict with plans for TF3.

I'm definitely interested to see more, but I can't get over the feeling that he looks like some variety of movie Optimus KO.

On another note, Wreck-Gar's bike mode is all kinds of win.

 

The G2 Prime is... a maybe. He'd make good use as a companion piece to the 2006 green tank Megatron, at least. Not really super feeling it. I prefer the original Laser Rod. Can't yet put my finger on why.

 

Yes Hasbro, cutting is the same as breaking. XD

Like the new G2 Prime though, looks snazzy!

 

Okay, I'll admit that I was less than thrilled when it was seemingly evident that Prime would be Deluxe. I honestly thought it was going to be that Two-pack Prime everybody hates.

But G2 Laser Rod Optimus Prime? That changes everything! I must have him, and of course the garenteed Scourge repaint (if Hasbro doesn't do it, FunPub would instead with a RID set).

God, what a great week to be a Generations fan. Such awesome toys, and on a slightly different note this puts a WHOLE lot of new potential into future Botcon exclusives that aren't Unicron Trilogy repaints.

 

Well in their defense, in terminology for trails itself it really is.

Trail breaking, you break off the beaten trail path.
Trail cutting, you cut your own path.

In essence they are the same. You still go offroad. Just one happens to be free to use.

 

I may have missed it, but is there an ETA for the trailer-less Rodimus?

 

Can't wait to get the Mag. This line is starting to get HUGE. I can't beleive all the stuff that is planned over the next year. Can't wait to see the pics of Rodimus Prime, but it still won't stop me from ordering the FP upgrade.

Edit: caught on late, I was thinking this was generations Rodimus from the second post. Good to see MP Rodimus is confirmed.

 

Something tells me Sky-Byte had better stock up on Sharkticons!

 

Cut, break, blast, doesn't bother me. Trailbreaker is BACK! That's awesome in itself. Even if he is a Legend now, that happened with Jazz in Universe, and look at him - Deluxe Special Ops Jazz is right around the corner. Trailcutter might one day follow suit. Until then I'll be happy with the Legend.

New Optimus sounds awesome, I'll look forward to my magazine to check him out. I might wait for a Scourge recolor, or I might get both - see how I feel about the mold. I know a couple of Black Convoy fans who'll love a Scourge recolor though.

 

Here are some things I forgot to mention:

While Rodimus won't have the trailer, Hasbro said they will give him some accessories and he will be an exclusive. Not sure which store yet, though.

G2 Laser Prime will also include a sword not unlike the Energy Sword ROTF Prime has.

 

Wait, so the TFCC magazine confirmed MP Rodimus is coming stateside? 

 

Saw a few pics ... somewhere.

I'm impressed TFCC managed to get a couple "never saw that coming" scoops (mighta been one more for Wreck-Gar if not for that Wal-Mart listing.)

I'm impressed with G2 Laser Prime, though I almost wish it wasn't quite so accurate in using the 'classic' black/red/with a gray chest. The new transformation with the old colors make the vehicle mode come off a bit strange to me. Looking forward to a RiD Scourge repaint (probably 'Nemesis Prime'   since there's already a Scourge in this line)

They all look pretty nice. Hopefully they will make it out before retailers see 2011 movie product and go "SCREW everything else!"

 

Love that they found a name they could use to do A new Trailbreaker. But REALLY bummed it is a Legends. I LIKE LEgends but only for appropriate characters who SHOULD BE SMALL. Trailbreaker was the tallest bot on the ARK and I've been dying for an update forever. Legends size just wont satisfy.

-ZacWilliam, at least they have a name for him if we do ever get one the right size...

 

Yes.

That is all I can say to this. Can't wait to see pics.

 

Watching my mailbox now... I don't suppose Laser Prime has any LED tech, does he? That would really put the figure over the top for me. As for Trailcutter, I can't wait to see the pics, but I'd always hoped he'd get called Trailblazer if he absolutely couldn't be Trailbreaker. He was actually called Trailblazer in an early episode, wasn't he?

 

How do Perceptor, Tracks & Scourge look in the pics? Any differences (ie: correct transformations) compared to the originals we were show a little while ago?
