    Gezz, I already have a job and now I'll need to get another one to fuel my plastic addiction.

    One side you have a lineup filled with awesome toys from Hasbro and Takara also got some neat stuff to fill in the blanks.
    Start praying for your wallet brothers!

    I guarantee you it's going to be a white repaint of Mindwipe, to go with the white repaint of Skystalker.

    Sunspot is a Decepticon. Strafe will likely be an Autobot again.

    Talked with some of the boys at the show, Hasbro (unlike every other year) didn't have anything to put in the display booth after their panel. My personal assumption is due to the fact they're busy with TF3 merchandise and, under legal obligation, cannot show any of those.

    Wasn't there a blue Mindwipe repaint that was shown somewhere? Either that's Strafe (I doubt there would be a blue AND a white repaint of him) or he's a repaint of a different mold.

    Jazz, Tracks, Perceptor, Grapple, and Windcharger are must buys....

    So...leaves us with needing Gears, Trailbreaker, and Wheeljack to complete the 1984 Autobots...

    Or are they doing Trailbreaker since I read mentionings of a Trailbreaker looking head?

    Anyone that was there want to give more detailed descriptions of what you saw... while it's still fresh in your mind.

    Some Questions:

    Was Tracks a Corvette?
    Jazz a Porshe?
    Did Jazz have his shoulder cannon?
    How did Legends Optimus look?

    I am going to need a second job just to get all the Generations toys! Looks like it will be an amazing year to be a Transformer fan!

    From what I read over at Seibertron, Jazz does indeed look very much like a Porsche. Not sure about Tracks.

    Finally, my loooong TF retail drought will be over. It feels live forever since Classics 2.0 was on shelves.

    I've been wanting a real Wheeljack for years. The Energon Downshift version doesn't count. I hope they make it happen.

    Also, from what I read, Tracks can do his Winged car mode too.

    The blue Mindwipe is a Takara exclusive.


    So, I still haven't heard it confirmed, but I'm guessing Mindset and Fallback are Yellow Box, not Generations?

    Now that was a good panel. Hot dam what a line Generations is turning into. Now I don't have to get WFC BB, I'll just for Cliffy.

    Also liking some of the other stuff announced, Tracks, Scourge, Lugnut, All pretty awesome.
