    Why on Earth would Hasbro make figures for a comic that's popular amongst fans? Isn't there a two year old game or some low-budget play pattern they can go for instead?

    I don't want to get my hopes up but I'd love to see this Optimus voyager classed and a Megatron to follow suit. But with the cuts and minimization of the figures I doubt it will happen.

    Key thing that stand out is if this artwork is even "REMOTELY" like the figure in size and that being a arms-micron Optimus is holding the optimus fig is going to be a deluxe. Or they are going to make some bigger Arms-Mircrons lol.

    Cool concept, guaranteed that the toy will be bad in some way or another.

    And even if Hasbro backpedal completely on their cost cutting, even if the toy is actually very good, there will still be somebody who thinks it was created to personally offend them.


    Oh no. They usually do just enough to win us back for a while at least.

    I really don't want to get my hopes up, but I can't think of a reason that Hasbro would go through the trouble to create this, very specific, promotional art if there weren't any toys or new lines it was tied too...Therefore I am cautiously OPTIMUStic...get it? lolol

    Voyager or no dice. Seriously... with the size of deluxes as of late... there'd be no justice done to the leader of the Autobots. I mean look at FoC Prime... decent figure, but laughably tiny.

    Didn't Hasbro say something about future Generations figures coming with pack-in IDW comics at the SDCC?

    Looks cool! And that could be Roller as Optimus's weapon.

    That weapon he's holding looks very toy like though. Very specific design for placeholder art.

    The Two year old game lost it's interestingness... and about the play pattern,
    i think they already done that with the prime line,it might explain why they were cutting corners here and there. they be beefing up generations to please the fans. *crosses fingers for hasbro for a generations quickslinger toy*

    It'l be bad cause Hasbro can't seem to get much right with their designs, either the aesthetics, the colours (they are also probably going to suck) or just it looking decent. They've been going downhill since the DoTM toyline was released, and quite honestly I think they've almost hit rock bottom with the cuts that their making.
