Our final batch of official product shots from Hasbro brings us a large helping of the eagerly awaited Transformers Generations that we were able to see in our SDCC news coverage today. This set features Blaster, the Wreckers and their combined Ruination mode, and Grimlock!
Check out all of the images, and in addition to keeping it here, also keep an eye on HISSTank, TokuNation, Toyark, and Thundercats.ws all weekend long for the latest from San Diego Comic-Con!

i wondered what those were, ty, coz they looked like yoyos
UnicronFTW
… I picked a really bad time to quit collecting…
Infosaur
That's actually not a bad idea at all. Makes the chicken legs work, and did you know Tomahawk has a claw hand?
Meh, To me Impactor is Purple over Yellow. Really can't think of anyone else with those colors. The Purple brings out that "is he a Decepticon?" vibe.
Crosses fingers for a Shattered Glass Ravage.
Stepper
Pre G1 cassettes are rounded instead of squarish,interesting.
Autovolt 127
Hopefully Rossanna and Glit are comming in the near future.

if 'bee ends up mute then its only tied to a handful of contiuitites. movie and prime, both of which are negatively affected by the character status.

I think it's pretty misleading to use "repaint" instead of "retool" when it's actually the latter.
Eject and Rewind are retools of Rumble and Frenzy (which of course are redecos of each other).
Buzzsaw/Laserbeak/Sundor are redecos, while Ratbat is a retool of them.
And Steeljaw is a retool of Ravage, he's got juuuust a little mane action on.
orangeitis
Repaints/redecos or slight retools, yes. Only Ratbat and Ramhorn are unique among the two factions.
And the idea of FoC Kiss players 'cassettes' is very lulzy and somehow very awesome.
Autobot Burnout
Most of them are just repaints of Soundwave's minions, I think (I know Sundor is).
orangeitis
Neither, Steeljaw(Ravage repaint) comes with Blaster.

Blaster and Grimlock? Ah, how fun, and here I thought I'd be letting Hasbro products languish in eternity before picking them up. Then they surprise me again. Soundwave I could care less about, though if his Legionized Minions are any where near as good as the ones in those images of Blaster's Data-Bots I'll definitely be picking them up.
Does Blaster come with Sunder due to gang molding or is Eject the one that is included with him? Either way, pretty cool they're giving us a previously Takara only figure as part of the line, even if it is a Kiss Play Cassette. I wonder if they'll do Garboil, Howlback, Rosanna, Flipsides and Glit too.

On the continuity subject, Hasbro should really just consider a "Continuity Family" rather than trying to shove them all into one continuity. Makes more sense that way, and reduces plot holes. But doing that would be a logical course of action, and I don't think Hasbro is very logical…
As for the actual subject, the Wreckers are getting figures too, hm?
I predict at least one of them will be repainted as Bulkhead (either officially or by fans). Then again, do any of those molds really fit as Bulky?
cylor
It's pretty accurate I'd say, apart from head and chest and… come on, we're talking about a character Hasbro didn't give a s**t for some 26 years I know Straxus got a toy, but he's more the exception than the rule…
Kaijumaster
It's more inverted than accurate, I'd love someone to Photoshop the picture and flip the orange and purple

You can keep saying it, but it doesn't make you right. Hasbro intends the games to the backstory of their new Aligned continuity, which comprises the majority of new fiction going forward, predominantly Prime and Rescue Bots.
Thundershot
Not all. Just anything going forward. (which seems to include G1)
FOC obviously won't fit in at all with Animated, RID, Movie, or the Unicron Trilogy
Onslaught24
*facepalm*
how many times must i say this
FOC is NOT in the same aligned continuity as Prime. FOC is supposed to tie into ALL TF continuities as the starting point. it is tied to Prime, but it is loosely tied. just like it is with the rest of the continuities
cylor
Well, it's even the right color if you look at the IDW continuity:
Roadblock1977
Hmm… As far as Blaster goes, do I see a Twincast in the works?
Transfotaku
Classic Prime is Voyager. Prime has two, in FE and regular line. We got enough Primes in that size for now. Let the size be filled with other characters we need.
