    You raise a good point. But still disappointing to see movie figures mixed in with classics. For a moment there, the Generations line stood up impossibly - Hasbro acknowledging the G1 fanbase... Oh well, if not for unilateral corporate incompetence, some of these 3rd Party companies might have something to lose sleep over! :lolol 

    I hate the combination here. Movie robo, with G1 alt??? :yuck 
    I think one excludes the other. Or maybe I'm just the only non-fan of movie Optimus?

    His chest is definitely fake. Definitely. :( 
    Still looks pretty damn good, though. Except his shoulders look huge.

    God damn, just about every movie Generations figure looks EXCELLENT. Drift, Bumblebee, Strafe, Optimus and Hound especially.

    Crosshairs looks much better in that photo. Really like the trench coat molding he's got going on. He's still got the entire top of the car just dangling off the back. I assume that's a mistransformation and that will fold up more, but it looks super awkward right now. Deluxe 'Bee and the Voyagers look really sparse for some reason. Not sure what the issue is, but I'm not really digging them.

    Evasion Mode Optimus Prime is one of the coolest Movie toys I've seen from all four movie lines. They got the alt. mode spot-on!

    The Generations (better) versions of the dinobots which as of the typing of this post are on Seibertron and not TFW have really.....dumb colors. Slug has purple and red, the Raptor has a bright teal, Strafe has blue, and Grimlock is a passable, but still innaccurate gold....why? they would have looked soooo much better in movie accurate colors.

    Wait....wait.....I remember typing this once before....no....no....not another SDCC Bruticus situation.....NOOOOO

    The hood part of his chest, yes. But it looks to me like the distinctive Bugatti grill is the same as on the car – there's an obvious break line around the grill in car mode where the car hood lifts away to reveal the robot chest.

    At least, that's what I'm hoping.

    True they did, but the bot mode....needs paint. as does most of the Generations AOE figures. Dinobots have rainbow colors. not a fan. I'm feeling another Generatuons Bruticus ordeal...

    So no leader megs, and nothing about MP Prowl and/or sunstorm, but Grimlock reissue is MP-03 (US)?

    So there's more coming for later then... Botcon I suppose?

    Why does Lockdown seem to only have that weird green dome face on some of his toys?
    Face change gimmick?

    Jhiaxus looks rather bland. Pass. I hope Takara decides to make one in Marvel colors.
