SDCC 2012- "Asian Exclusive" Generations Hasbro Display

So they're getting packed in vehicle mode for the US release, huh?

Shut up and take my money! Hotspot, Laserbeak, Swerve, Brawl....mothereffing HOTSPOT! YEAH!

We can only hope some of these come Statewide. Awesome figures in this set.

Love the new head sculpts.

They're all coming stateside.

We don't have to hope. Hasbro confirmed it.


-ZacWilliam, it's good news.

And there was much rejoicing!

HELL YES!!!!!! and, holy cow, that megatron and hot spot are AMAZING!!!!!

laserbeak, brawl and powerdive please!

Hot Spot looks nice but Megatron is a meh. The head sculpt ruins it.

that mold was made for megatron

Now I have to add these guys to my want list:

*Cliffjumper
*Powerdive
*Swerve
*Sandstorm
*Hot Spot
and
*Wheelie(Just for shitz 'n' giggles)


Great.

Could that Megatron headsculpt be any more Beast Wars?

These are some kick-ass retools! Bravo Hasbro!

Definitely gonna snag Cliffjumper, Brawl, Laserbeak, and those Legends.

Okay I re-want Springer. I thought I would hate his face sculpt looking at the packaging art but it's actually pretty good.

Powerdive/Ransack was announced as just a redeco IIRC. Was skipping him...but he has a new, AWESOME head it turns out.

Well, since it'll be easy to get... I didn't like the guy as much as I thought I would as Highbrow, but the homage to Rotor Force and that really cool head help make the sale.

Megatron's deco is weird, but his headsculpt is actually one of the best I've EVER seen.

Laserbeak, never thought it would work, but it does! Dead End/Wildrider is ok but the mold isn't my favorite. Sandstorm is strangely appealing, I'll give the mold another try. Brawl is a swing and a miss.

Of the Legends, only Hoist and Bluestreak even appeal, and even then I have their originals so they are skippable. Though I can't find poor Trailbreaker!

The Deluxes are all great-looking IMHO. MINE.

That CHUG style Cliffjumper head still looks ridiculous on that body.

So happy we're getting these Stateside.

In for all everything but the deluxe Cliffjumper. I've even warmed up to Megatron, the huge Decepticon symbol on his crotchplate is glorious. He's gonna be BWII Megastorm in my collection.

Hmm... want Springer. Does anybody know how the Tomahawk mold scales with Generations Kup? I can't seem to tell how the molds look together because Springer and Swerve aren't together in any of the pictures.

I may have to pick up Springer, Laserbeak, Megatron, Hotshot, Cliffjumper, and the rest of the deluxe and voyager figures are definitely maybes. Love the head sculpt on the G2 themed Megatron.

How hilarious is it that there is Chinese writing on the domestic release of these, while the actual Asian versions are in all English?

They scale rather well, the movie-ish legs on the Tomahawk mold are kind of out of place.

Regardless Springer and Swerve GET!

I'll definitely get Hot Spot, might get Megatron because G2 Megatron was one of my favorite TFs. Springer and Wheelie are also potential purchases. I doubt I'll go for any of the other stuff but it's neat that we're getting it. Hot Spot seems to be the clear best of the bunch; that head sculpt is fantastic.

I want that Megs head on a Voyager Beast Wars version.

Holy shit I want that Springer, he looks totally badass.

And Wheelie looks surprisingly good as well, want him as well. The rest are passable for me.

Sandstorm is Michael Bay:

Hot Spot, Laserbeak, Dead End, the Legends and Swerve all look awesome. Powerdive looks neat, never got the mold so I might pick him up.
Never got the Inferno mold, love the colors and head sculpt so I'm really looking forward to this.

Cliff and Springer still look ridiculous with the classics heads on the prime and movie bodies. Might get Springer though, love the mold.
Sad thing is frankencliff might be the reason the only FE Cliff getting released is the zombie, seeing as they're both at TRU.

Heh, Thundercracker. Yo dawg I heard you like null-rays...

I only need Hot Spot out of all that now. I've got a set of the deluxe on order already.

Lol so true!

Actually, it was made for Bludgeon. Just painting that torso green does not make him Megatron.

Still and on the whole, some good looking stuff.

Laserbeak- Not sure it actually works as Laserbeak, but a cool deco nonetheless. Will buy.

Brawl- IMO Brawl should be bigger, but a cool figure nonetheless. Will buy.

Cliffjumper- I've said it before for him (and the Brawn made out of FE Bulkhead) and I'll say it again: it just doesn't look right. Yet, for some reason, it kinda appeals to me, in a way. Might buy (as for the Brawn, no. Just no. The head is waaay too small for that mold, IMO).

Springer- Will buy. Love that mold, and my collection could use a Springer.

Swerve- A pretty cool deco of a good mold (makes me think of a junker with the mismatched hood and bed). will buy.

Wheelie- He has a slingshot. Will buy.

Powerdive- Never got the original use of this mold (was it Hightower?) because I thought the flip-down goggles make him look stupid. On this version, however, they made him awesome by giving him a flip-down visor, and I'm a bit of a sucker for that. Will buy.

EDIT: Highbrow. The original use of the mold was Highbrow. I don't know what I was thinking...[/EDIT]

G2 Megs- Dunno why it appeals to me exactly, but he does. Will probably buy.

Hot Spot- I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS MOLD. Will buy.

EDIT: So an approximate price of $115. And that's just the ones from this section that I want.

Springer, Swerve, Wheelie, and Hot Spot will be mine.

So were is Voyager Brawn?

Right now I think I may try to get Springer, Swerve, Hotspot, and maybe the Legends. Everything else is a pass. This fall is starting to look very expensive.

I think I've peed myself a little looking at these figures. Police! Help! Hasbro is raping my wallet, and I kinda like it!

Springer, Wheelie, Swerve X2, Hot Spot still on the get list. Depending on what I decide about the FOC Wreckers I may get Sandstorm to be with his comrades. Powerdive I'm still unsure about. And Megatron sort of took that mould over but I'll pass as my G2 Classicverse Decepticons have a leader in Clench. So I will pass on him as well.

-* Legends *-
want all 4

-* Scouts *-
Laserbeak - Love the color scheme, want
Dead End - Will go with Mold-kin Brakedown, want
Brawl - Like the mold, want
Sandstorm - meh, probably skip

-* Deluxes *-
Cliffjumper - Unless I need the head for a custom, skip
Springer - what part of triple changer do they not understand? skip
Swerve - nice, want
Wheelie - 2 words: Wheelimus Prime! want

-* Voyagers *-
Powerdive - love the mold, want
Hot spot - Looking good, want
Megatron - G2 does nothing for me and the head looks way off for the mold, skip

Beautiful pics of these here: Meteor Operation Facebook page

Found through allspark.com.

Swerve and Wheelie are the only two of those I might be getting.

Springer and Laserbeak seem to be my main interests. I don't want an oversized Wheelie, and that Megatron just doesn't seem to fit in that body.

Damn,even Wheelie looks good.I'm so happy to see Hotspot.Come on hasbro,3 more bots and your first classics non-combiner team will be done.I'm not saying that like a its a bad thing,i just want the full special teams.Even Blaster looks decent(is that this thread? its all getting blurry now).

Dammit. That just sold me on all four deluxes...

Not alot I want here

Is Springer a Tomohawk repaint? If so, he could be pass. I would really like a Triple Changer version of him.

Sandstorm-meh

Swerve-meh

That Head scuplt on Megatron is HIDEOUS but he seems to fit in nicely with the Shockwave/HISS Tank exclusive

I have and like the small version Wheelie-so he's a pass

While I REALLY like the Laserbeak jet mode (I was particular to the Sunspot figure) I don't think I'd pick him up

We need a proper sized Hoist and Trailbreaker Hasbro!

I love that Swerve so much but I need my own personal CHUG "Shut the Hell Up" with a visor! DO YOU HEAR ME iGEAR?!

Also,why does hotspots head just look pissed off? Could this see a motormaster repaint down the line?

Hot Spot's head looks like Optimus Prime...

Oops!

I'm really pleased by how Cliffjumper turned out, in a way he was the most intriguing of the set for me.

I hope Wheelie isn't hell to find. In fact he probably will be but I will just beg for one from B/S/T. How can you not love that smile?

In other news Megatron's head is the best thing in history, WHAT are people complaining about?

I love most of these guys, they're great toys with great repaint jobs and great heads.

But another Springer? The Botcon one and the Target one from '08 isn't enough? Okay, this one does have a sword, there's that I suppose...

How many Laserbeaks do we need out at the same time? This one and the one coming with the Voyager Soundwave?

Speaking of too many of a single guy...Brawl?! Really? We got how many coming from the FoC Combaticons at the same time? The character isn't even good! I'd have MUCH preferred RTS Windcharger redone into Tailgate in place of Brawl. Brawl is definitely not needed, Tailgate is.

I hope the packaging comes as is. I like that design style, it looks interesting.

Obviously, these are some of the 40 toys for 2012/2013 Generations - how many 'spots' are left that we don't know about now? Counting these guys, Soundwave and Soundblaster, the 4 Con Cassettes as Legends, the Combaticons and FoC wave 1...how many of that 40 do we not know?

So much for Asia exclusive, lol. All looks good except Megatron. Nothing beats good ol G2 green Megs, especially if sound still works.
