Remember when a certain Transformers Generations wave was delayed (some feared this meant cancelled)? We sure do, but we’re happy to report any fears over not receiving more Generations toys (specifically Crosscut in this case) can now be put to rest. Friend and sponsor BigBadToyStore has put up preorder listings for the delayed Crosscut, along with some more wave mates such as Nightbeat, Jhiaxus, and the ever popular Windblade! You can preorder them by the case or individually.
This is great news for all fans of the Generations toys as this means the delayed toys are still coming out within a reasonable time frame. Fingers crossed we receive more updates soon for the delayed Generations Arcee and Chromia.

okay prowl and femmebotfangirl i wasn't trying to get you two to go at it so lets put away the remarks and the comment "fixes". frankly website reviews like that can hardly be trusted. alot of it can be duplicated accounts and inflated numbers. also, it doesn't give all the other ratings. 255 could be 5 star and 254 could be 1 star.
some of you may think it's an unpopular opinion but from what i see on the boards here it's not…the preview for issue #3 had alot of people bringing up how this issue seems alot like the other two in terms of structure. hell when issue 2 came out alot of people criticized it as being a retread of the first issue just slightly different. and alot of people made mention to where the art is pretty to look it it's more pin up deviant arty not so good in the sequential territory. i haven't been quiet about my issues with the book mostly regarding the origins of the femmebots but as the book progresses im not the only one voicing problems. sure alot of us are still holding on that the art is sooooo good and the writing is perfect but i believe alot has to come from the good old hype machine and how the writer and artist conducts themselves in interviews. they're nice women, the know the material they create for, and alot of the interviews come off as them being straight up adorable….but THAT doesn't make up for alot of the issues in this comic thus far.
MY OPINION is that the art is pretty but not good for tf and the writing isn't bad but far from strong and i feel that opinion is far from unpopular. check out the comments in the windblade threads, the more the book progresses the less alot of us are staying on the hype train and treating this with the same criticizes we give to the cartoons, movies, and other books. it's not bad but it's no 5 star book.

So 255 reviewers gave it 5 stars. I saw nowhere on there that it was based solely on the art. THAT is what the person who you originally responded to brought up. The art. The writing may carry the book, but not everyone likes the art. Just the responses on this board tells you that.

Skipping on jihaxus due to the colors not being g2
femmebotfangirl
I never said everyone liked the book, I said not liking it is not a popular opinion as born out by the reviews, ratings and chat for the book. #1 has 255 5 star ratings on Comixology, more than MTMTE and no one gets accused of having a political motivation for saying MTMTE is a good book, interesting that. But apparently anyone who likes a book with a female lead and creative team is being political, it can't just be a good book.
Rung
they could atleast use different colors for jiaxus !
G1Prowl
Fixed for you. Not everyone likes that book, and the art has a ton to do with it.
femmebotfangirl
An unpopular opinion too, based on sales, digital sales and chat on social media.
Ordered Windblade and Jhiaxus.
WoundSave
your opinion is noted.

Just Jhiaxus and Nightbeat for me love both molds a lot, hopefully find them at retail for $9 before they get them in.
Dark Jedi
Added both sets to my POL.
RNSrobot
That's an "opinion."
Preordered both sets. Did not expect jhiaxus to be so heavily retooled! Probably going to sell crosscut but cheaper to get the four versus individually. Wouldn't bother with acid storm but for the repaint of the waspinator mini-con!
optimusmegas
because it seems sarcastic? that bit about "especially the art" seems sarcastic
mostly because it's not a strong book and the art isn't that great
DarkLiger
I jumped on the BBTS pre-order for this wave. Generations are getting harder to find outside of Toysrus.
Cal
I meant when they're available on UK sites.
Murasame
And true.
Snowcat
What would make you think it was sarcastic? Seemed pretty genuine to me.

Ordered Windblade from Kapow as well
I want Nightbeat, too. But I hope that Takara makes one too and that his chest will be completely yellow, like the toy was. The Headmasters were my favorite toys
simond
Well Kapow put them up for order last night too which is where I ordered mine from.

Well, Jhiaxus in the comics seems to have a history of swapping between his g2 colors and a mostly orange and white color scheme. He's abandoned his G2 colors even before Dark Cybertron.
shamanking282
I know. He was made that color in Dark Cybertron to match the toy, after the decision was already made to make him orange. I want his real G2 colors. I don't understand why they had to homage the RiD Jhiaxus that most people don't even care about.
