    Well if they were going to do that Beast Wars stuff at least there consolidating it with TF Prime.

    One annoying line is better than having to weed through two.

    Still bummed that that Prime stuff took up most of the panel though.

    Happy about Omega but when are they going to realize that giving us yet another Optimus figure is not real "news"???

    Did you hear how quiet the crowd got after once they showed that Optimus prime figure?
    Everyone clapped at the Omega remold once it appeared. Yet ironically that Energon Prime sucked the energy out of the crowd soon after.

    In all I find the Omega Supreme figure quite promising but that's about all we Generations fans get. The rest was to please only the TF Prime fans.

    Yeah, I'm in for Omega and Prime... but oook. It's like someone came into the designers' room over lunch and scribbled spikes on everyone. (I'm thinking maybe it was Gwar or Gene Simmons).

    I'm sure the kids will love it, but to me it looks like a complete afterthought. Like they ran out of ideas for the next line and just added spikes to it in a pinch. Glad there are a handful of Classics toys coming, because this is definitely a jumping off point for me, being kinda-grown like I am.

    I'm new to collecting, so I'll have to research these "Energon" toys. Just started collecting in the last 2 years.

    I would love to see a homage to Energon Divebomb, BW Spittor, Waspinator, and G1 Headstrong from the line. Perhaps have Sharkticons be the Predacon's Vehicons.

    Now, Lazerbeak, Twinstrike, and Predaking shall be in my collection as soon as I see them.

    I really am tickled at the idea of incorporating a Beast Wars aesthetic into Prime, but the 'Road Warrior' vibe to the accutrement for most of the regular cast characters is somewhat off-putting. Not sure why battle armor and spikes is a more appropriate way to fend off something on the scale of Predaking, and it makes even less sense for the Decepticons who are, in essence, the handlers for such a creature. Are they similarly fighting off his advances and thus need battle spikes and such? In other words the concept seems somewhat half-baked and a knee jerk way to appeal to kids who may be in the thrall of Pokemon, How to Train Your Dragon and such.

    Similarly, I'm still lost as to why Hasbro isn't capitalizing on the re-introduction of Dinobots to they lore, via the recent FOC game. Supposedly they'll be in a spinoff IDW comic, but no toys beyond Grimlock planned... and Grimlock is in the Generations line instead of Prime?? Someone at Hasbro needs to be fired over that one. And the Dinobots would make an excellent foil to use against the Predacon dinos supposedly from Cybertrons pre-history. And why no Predacon-like dinos on the side of the Autobots? If some are willing to work alongside the Decepticons then surely there are others willing to work with Optimus and his motley band.

    I wish they would just call Bulkhead Roadbuster when ever they give him Roadbuster's color scheme. I am definitely buying the Omega Supreme with WFC hand. Radicons have been doing this OS repaint since forever though.

    Compare this Omega Supreme to the Energon toy.

    The unified color scheme looks a whole lot better bringing out details.

    Doesn't matter if its a G1 color scheme or not. It works well on this mold. Better than the other two.

    Claw is good, head while smaller is still good too.

    the more i see of the omega supreme the more i want it now. would look much better on my season 1&2 shelf than the Energon 1. wonder what price point will be? $99.99?

    Predaking sort of reminds me of Cybertron Scourge. especially with the 3 head mode. and i sort of like the hunder versions of BB and WJ.

    i ... half though they improved the airachnid mold ... then released i was look at cyberverse.

    Cyberverse Airachnid and Smokescreen make me glad I got into the Cyberverse line... great chances to actually get all the show cast while not spending too much. And not having to deal with things like Deluxe Airachnid. :lol

    What size will Omega Supreme be? In scale with Unicron or a Voyager?

    He looks great though. Probably the only character I'll be snagging from these announcements unless any of the Prime toys end up being for characters that are main line and in the show.

    "Supreme" is what it was called.

    For the original poster, it's an existing old toy repainted. Do a google image search if you want to see him next to stuff.


    -ZacWilliam, he's certainly bigger than pretty much any Hasbro toy of the last couple years.
