Thanks to the Facebook page Toys2Mail, we now have pics of an upcoming Generations redeco set: Generation 2 Jazz and Combat Hero Optimus Prime (Out of Generations Jazz and RTS Optimus Prime) with Legends Motormaster and Thundercracker (Out of Legends RTS Optimus Prime and Starscream.)

While the four pack is listed as a Wal-Mart exclusive, it is unknown at this time whether or not this will be available across the pond, or only available through Asian Markets. We will update this post with more information as it becomes available.

I have no idea why... but I have an odd desire to own those.
SPLIT LIP
I might go for this.
Stepper
A blue G2 Optimus Prime,wow
Galvanitro
I'm more interested in the fact that in this set...We're getting the Asia Exclusive Motormaster and Thundercracker!
Powersa
Yeah hope it doesn't get cancelled like G2 Combat Hero.
megatronski
Must.... Own....
G1Prowl
Only interested in the Motormaster. Got the TC, Jazz isn't different enough to justify owning, and I detest the RTS Laser Prime mold.
exclusacon
Feel bad for those who dropped 100$ for Botcon Ultra Magnus...

Come on wide release. And come on more two-packs.

Am I crazy, or does Jazz have a new head?

Because this figure is like BotCon Ultra Magnus ... ?
Not the guy
Optimus looks too fancy in those new colors. I can't wait to see when somebody plugs him into battle tanker.

Really? It looks more squat than the original head and the "horns" look a bit different too.
Chris McFeely
Are we sure these are two two-packs and not one four-pack?

BOOO. I love Motormaster, but I hate when they redeco Optimus into him. We already have more than enough "Evil Optimus Primes" without lumping Motormaster in there. Motormaster turns into a truck. Similarities end there. I do think it's interesting that they're calling him Motormaster, it was my understanding that there was some problem with using that name.. but maybe I'm misremembering something.

I mean, not that it really matters, I don't collect legends so I'll get over it like I got over it when they did it with Animated (which I also never really got in to). I'm just saying.. I hate that.

The rest of this set is curious.. anyone know if these decos on Prime and Jazz homage something in specific? is Optimus maybe a nod to Powered Convoy? I guess Jazz is supposed to be G2 Jazz, despite having almost no similarity to him other than being Jazz.

What's this "we" stuff? OP says the listing for Thailand.

How do you figure? This guy has a different deco and a different head.

My impression was one four pack.

He's probably thinking that because of the whole Blue and Red thing.

Pretty sure that's the angle of the picture more than anything.
MechaV
Man, lucky Asian market guys. Getting all the good stuff this year, eh?
thielmj

D'oh! I misread that. Thanks for catching it!
Girl Pants
I already have a G2 Jazz thanks to Reprolabels doing a kit, and I think that the Reprolabels one is more accurate. I'll wait on more pics all the same, and will probably get both anyway.

Prime is Neat. I kinda wanted the Hero deco (white/red/yellow one, but this could be neat). This could make a better classics Powered Convoy than SG Magnus!

I think you're right. The whole thing is in one box labeled "Ultimate Gift Set." Seems to imply it's all one set.
puma
solid. i'm into it
Fallout
wait, so this isn't asia exclusive and the legends motormaster and thundercracker aren't either?

i hope these are two separate packs, no interest in the deluxes for me.
TrueNomadSkies
I don't think that looks anything like G2 Jazz, but its still cool.
barrelks
These I could see as having a little more chance of seeing the light of day in the US as an exclusive, Jazz and Optimus are at least figures that kids know well, and some parents know (as somewhat turdy as I think the Optimus mold is), where they may be able to find a retailer for them. I've said it before, keep redeco-ing the "Classic" molds and I'll keep buying them.

For a mold that I didn't care much for, I sure am gonna have a lot of that G2 Prime.
Biotoakid
Buy on sight
Cadbane
The deluxe 2 pack looks cool but not a must to own.
kylash327
boy this would have been a great way to release SCOURGE! ...friggn TFCC
BScorpinok75
I love that Jazz mold and the deco looks A1 just not sure I need to versions of Jazz in my collection.
Agent Adam
I have an unnatural NEED for that Jazz.
ZacWilliam
Wow.

Hmm.

I like that they're doing another multi-toy box set.

And these decos are pretty decent.

But I'm actually ending up a bit frustrated because there are so many repaints of recent toys that I would DEARLY LOVE, and who a box set like this might be the only option for really, and these aren't them....

Even sticking with the same molds (which I'd rather not) Jackpot, Laser Magnus, Micromaster Overload, and say Stormcloud would have rocked my world. And made better use of the scale differences...


-ZacWilliam, Thundercracker though makes me want the set, silly as that is.
Heat Guy
Sold, I want me some G2 goodness.

Isn't Jackpot already planned as a TFCC exclusive?

From the Animated Jazz mold, not the RtS mold.
Jazz210
Well we'll all find out "fall 2012" cuz thats when its set to release wherever is going to be released
Sharktibolt
Awesome stuff, will buy on sight.
jtscribe
If this is stateside I'm in just for the Optimus re-deco. I think it'll look smokin' with the Battle Tanker.
Red Snarl
Bought on sight. I hope they do more G2.
Crystal Convoy
I want this set. Hope it gets a US release.
Valkysas
G2 Jazz? Hell yeah, I'll get this.
ZacWilliam

Yeah, that's not the same thing. The Animated Jazz mold is terrible IMO, (and I'm not an Animated hater) and it's "Animated Jackpot" anyway, not the G1 character.

Mostly what would make me happier is, if you have to package Legends toys with larger guys as a set then at least deco the Legends as Micromasters. There are a ton of memorable ones and then the size difference at least kinda works.


-ZacWilliam, also a set like his is the perfect place for recolored Scouts That no longer fit in the regular line. Rumble/Frenzy. Breacher as Roll Out. Windcharger as Rook. That sort of thing is a great fit for a box set.

You and me both. I can't believe how much that eyesore gets reused.

That really doesn't look much like G2 Jazz at all.

-ZacWilliam, other than the symbol placement. Granted I was never fond of G2 Jazz's actual deco so that's not a terrible thing.
togaoki
This is most likely going to be a buy if I can find it. I've had an interest in Jazz for a while, so this will be a fun way to have a unique spin on the character. And why not get the laser prime mold? I've been a bit curious, and if I don'tr like it I can always sell it... right?
Burnout
i would buy this in a heartbeat! i love both of these classics molds. sadly it will probably elude the US
