    Keep in mind the last two Generations line deluxe class toys hit first and hard, voyager and leader classes came out a bit slower. I was in New York for CW and a wave of deluxe toys would him then about a month later the voyager and leader class toys of the same wave would hit, except for Onslaught, he never showed up.

    My walmarts barely carry tf's anymore. Haven't bought a non-3rd party tf in years anyway. Nothing has looked good til now. I was excited about cw til i saw that the combiners could touch their knees without ever having to bend at the waist LOL. So patience paid off cause i really like the looks of these. My gf likes to collect female tf's and i see elita1 will be a combiner. Who is her combiner team?

    So far we only know about Moonracer, Firestar, and maybe Jazz.

    Actually from reveals and leaks we know 3 already

    -Elita-One "voyager" Partner being Optimus Prime. (w2)
    -Moonracer "deluxe" Partner being Powerglide. (w2)
    -Novastar "deluxe" Novastar in the leaks has the Firestar cartoon design, so I guess they lost the license for the name? Meaning this is 1 and the same character. Interesting trivia is that in the episode she is introduced her "partner" in G1 is Inferno, who also gets his toy in this line. (w4)

    The biggest question is what happens with wave 5/6?

    Some big names remain, Chromia and Arcee. Who both have other toys and storylines that are on their own. But judging from the 3 above they take them from the Search for Alpha Trion. Meaning

    -Chromia Partner being Ironhide.
    -Greenlight? as the name says she is green...
    -Lancer? Orange-darkblue "dion color sheme"

    Both those bottom 2 are obscure and just filler during that episode. I say it is safe to say that we get Chromia, either as her bike mode from the IDW or car G1 mode.

    -Arcee
    Since we already got Arcee last from the TR line I doubt we see her. But it is an option. Or even a retool/repaint later down the line as an exclusive.

    Wouldn't discount it quite yet. Over all the installments of the trilogy, Hot Rod/Rodimus has been given toys. Then, there's that his cast mates all got released aside from Springer last line, Arcee as an exclusive so she may not count.

    (... Can we see Springer as an Alpha Bravo recolor? :lol )

    Hotrod as well as prime and bumblebee are exception to the rule. They get a new toy every other year.
    I do not think Arcee is in that catagory. But like I said she might get a retool from one of the other fembots.
    I do like how they are totally different from other car molds who either are deadend or breakdown clones when it comes to limb bots.
    Moonracer looks far different.

    When talking about it. I was more thinking in the terms of the G1 toy line that forked out 3 rod toys in 2 years.
    Which was something special.
    Gerting Hotrod, Hotrod target masters and Rodimus prime. In fast succession.
    So yeah in the past he was the one and got replaced by bumblebee during the generations line as the one getting a toy in fast succession.
    I just don't see it for Arcee. But I can be wrong. I got both Arcee toys and the prime Arcee. Don't see me as a hater on it. Just don't have my hopes up on a limb bot.
    And if she doesn't get one I am sure she will be a retool from one of the other figures.

    He also was released several times in other sets. Same mold, but it is a different toy.

    And I guess technically you could say we got a few Hot Rods from this year's awful movie, but that's not really generations.

    Notice I didn’t say toy, I specifically said mold. Platinum edition doesn’t count as generations, neither does titanium and neither does the movie. I suppose if you want to get technical you could include the battle in space/rts hot rod, but he counts about as much as the rodimus prime titanmaster since it was a store exclusive

    How long does it usually take for Takara to show what their plans are? It seemed they would reveal their UW images or a teaser just a short time after Hasbro showed the CW line.
