Yesterday, you saw the extensive collection of new, official Hasbro Transformers images. Today we bring you the natural follow up to the new images – bios! In addition to the new official images, we received the official story bios for many of the upcoming Transformers toys in the next waves of the main series “Hunt for the Decepticons”, plus the first waves of Generations and Power Core Combiners. While some were previously shown in photography from toy shows, others such as Deluxe Class Ironhide’s bio are brand new and reveal exciting new relationships between the different characters represented in upcoming waves.

No, we didn't receive Payload's bio, only the basic marketing spiel. If it has leaked out in photos somewhere please send it on through to us, such as through the Resources Submission Forum, so we can get it added to his resources page.

What no Payload Bio? the last thing i heard he was a some type of courier for the Decepticons and they have Ratchet rivaling with Payload and Ratchet will lose and lose badly..
Railguard
Well I hope they come out sooner then august and I hope I can actually find them when they do come out. I hate hunting.

I think WFC Bee's bio is just their way to target the younger/newer fans who only know the movie Bee character.
Though if Hasbro does end up tieing the game into the new TV show, especially after Mat Tig's whole thing of "It's the G1 cartoon universe!" I'll laugh my ass off.

It looks like Hasbro's attempts to make one solid continuity will end up being a complete clusterf*ck, merging G1 bits with Movieverse. If WFC Bumble does eventually "evolve" into mute Bayverse or "Prime" Bee, I will be very disappointed.

I don't think they're too hindered by continuity concerns.

Seaspray, got buff!
Thundershot
Unless this is a prequel to TFP, and that BB ends up mute…
einis
cool

I wish we could see the different PCC heads.
Cause each figure is almost like punch counterpunch that way.

I'm dying to find out what Terradive is. Not to mention Lugnut.

Leader Class Starscream's description reads:
This must have been published back before there were any images, and only rumors.
Foster
No, it definitely sounds like that's what they are trying. He's not particularly silent or a warrior in any other incarnation.
Powersa
I know I will get sea spray
Mechafire
Somehow, I doubt it's movie Bumblebee they're referring to.
Anyway, nice reads. I love reading these bios.
eTalking
yeah, good point. its rare i ever use these bio's as concrete, anyway.
just seems kinda weird that they'd take such a radically different style from the movies, in both fiction and appearance, and try to blend it together.
Foster
They are welcome to do so. It doesn't mean I will.
eTalking
whoa whoa WHOA. stop the presses.
They're tying WFC bumblebee into the movieverse??? LAME

Is August a more likely release date for the States? BBTS has them all arriving in August.

Great Bumblebee's mute.
