    excellent!!

    glad I didnt pull the trigger on GDO Springer now!!I dont want Astrotrain though.....perfectly happy with the Deluxe version and how he fits in in my collection.

    would have MUCH prefered to see Voyager Blitzwing.

    It would be about time!! I'm thinking the same and maybe, just maybe, we will start seeing stuff we actually want!! I would completely pass out if they actually released the rest of the FOC Dinobots!!!

    God, do I want this right now.

    I hope is that we get another, wonderful triple changer design for Astro.

    My fear is that they will just repaint Springer white, give him a few design changes, and basically make Astro a repaint

    I agree that Springer doesn't need an Earth mode, but I did always assume he and the other Movie bots had "futuristic" Earth modes.


    I may be misunderstanding you, but the Generations voyagers have been nothing but big so far.

    Hopefully, it'd be disappointing if he was just a Springer retool/repaint :p

    Yeah, but if FoC Soundwave and Grimlock are any indication, Astrotrain will be just the right scale imo :)  Springer may look too big though...

    I think he is still a triple changer, the pictures seem to show the front and rear of both alt modes. Very excited to see these guys. Hopefully there will be ton of reveals at next months Toy Fair!

    Yeah having "earth-style" tires and wheels gave me that impression as well, especially when you compare them to all the bots hover car modes in the first ep.

    IF this Voyager Springer turns up looking anything close to the concept art, then it will tear the spark out of Warbot Defender's spark chamber.

    Astrotrain is a nice addition, the classics version has a very sublime transformation from shuttle to train and back. Anything on par or better will be exciting.

    In short OH HELL YEAH

    Really interesting that their continuing FOC toys. From what some insiders mentioned, it seemed like they were going back to modern style altmodes. Hopefully thats still the case for some of the yet to be revealed Generations.

    Especially when it's supposed to be a FALL OF CYBERTRON Springer.

    I'll be surprised if these two aren't two of the last FoC toys we see...at least when it comes to the Voyagers anyways.

    Thinking about it, Astrotrain will probably be really tempting. Might sound stupid, but it's pretty much due to the thought of his space-choo-choo-mode...lol
