    Blitzwing is sooooo mine. Orion Pax and Hoist/Trailbreaker also look really good. Boxart kinda reminds me of Universe line.

    Generations is a continuation of Universe, I thought...

    Like how Universe is a continuation of Classics, I had ALWAYS thought Generations was a continuation of the Classics line. Universe is 2.0, and Generations is 3.0.

    LOL. Seriously, can't believe so many are convinced about that.

    Yeah, there is nothing about either Bumblebee mold that says Arcee. And Rodimus from Orion? Uh ... I think Rodimus from the deluxe Bumblebee would work better. Not great, but better than Orion. :inquisiti  Orion would work better as someone like Ratchet or Ironhide.

    I realize these are the spotlight images so tehoretically something could change, but this is really killing my hopes of Thundercracker coming with new weapons.

    Oh well, probably going to get them all except Hoist. Not sure if I care enough about him. Though unlike Trailbreaker I think I actually did have Hoist as a kid, so maybe ...

    Well, it is called CHUG for a reason. :wink:

    I actually consider Universe 1.0 to be included in CHUG. =)

    Dear Hasbro,

    Please kindly make a Voyager Class version of THIS Optimus Prime:

    Thank you kindly.

    Hoist and TC look great too. This is going to be a good year for TF: Generations :)

    Hopefully we are indeed getting THAT Blitzwing head. The other was a sick joke, shame on you Hasbro.

    A third face is confirmed? I thought there was only this one and the monocled one...

    One man's sick joke is another's supremely awesome style choice.

    I don't think it's been confirmed for three. But he definitely has two. But it looks like instead of spinning, one face folds behind the other like on MP Rodimus.

    It is amazing how much better this boxart is than the figures themselves, great proportions, no giant gaps, man if only the toys looked that good.

    Without a doubt. Been saying that since we saw his package at Toy Fair.

    It looks like Blazemaster can even do the helipack backpack thing.

    Which is awesome.

    Also gaaahh but Blitzwing and Springer are AMAZING toys. Trailbreaker and Hoist too. Can NOT wait!


    -ZacWilliam, Hey, anyone else notice Trailbreaker has a Red Decepticon symbol???

    I didn't even realise how much that Trailbreaker look like his More Than Meets The Eye design!

    Which is weird considering the toy is very clearly earth based.

    I really hope we'll get a Voyager figure of that IDW Prime design.

    The artwork is amazing!
    Very happy to see Hoist and Thundercracker.
    I wonder if Skywarp will remain exclusive to Japan or if we'll get a Hasbro release too.

    What I want to know is why Trailbreaker has a Decepticon insignia on his chest.
