    We don't really know just yet. But the G2 character's color scheme looks much more like Hailstorm's than this one.

    Mindsets colour scheme looks to be more accurate to me...

    Either the back of the boxes are pretty plain or the bios are online again as otherwise the bios on the back would give away the toys true faction thus rendering the idea even more pointless.

    Its just a return to the rub-symbols from the eighties. The faction won't be completely obscured on the packaging.

    Upcoming Product Preview: "Reveal the Shield" Legends Class "Generation One" figures | BWTF

    These RtS Legends have their faction clearly visible on the reverse of the packaging. They can't not release a Transformers product without an insignia somewhere on the packaging.

    They could use faction neutral terms like Cybertronian.

    It's not really a new line.

    Hunt for the Decepticons and Reveal the Shield are different promotions for the same line.

    Wave 4 is Blurr and Thrust/Dirge, I forget which.
    Wave 5 is WfC Cliffjumper, Thunderwing and Skulgrin.

    Hasbro UK will skip some of these, I can all but guarantee it.

    Quoted for ultimate truth [and eventual nuclear-powered facepalm when proven correct].

    I think people were assuming a UK release for Bludgeon, Recon Ironhide, ROTF Armorhide, Tuner Mudflap, ROTF Dirge, Longhaul, Battlechargers Optimus Prime, Grindor, Gravity Bot Barricade, Legends Wheelie, Legends Soundwave, Legends Jolt, and a bunch more and aside from those imported items that might have shown up in TRU or Forbidden Planet they didn't show up (as yet).

    And items that I never expected to show up like the last lot of Animated Activators, or the Gravity Bot repaints of Bumblebee, Optimus & Sideswipe did.

    I'd be surprised if Dirge or Blurr make it to the UK, personally I've seen precisely 1 Generation Toy to date on a UK shelf and that was Thrust.

    I loved rubsigns when i was a kid. Okay, it was dumb, we all knew who was an autobot and who wasn't, but it was one of those little gadgets that added play value without being extraordinarily expensive.

    Welcome back rubsigns/revealshields/moodrings !

    I was right = the Bio's do not the state the faction on the Rodimus/Cyclonus Reveal the Shield 2 pack.

    Even though the Legends card backs do give the game away it looks like Hasbro it is trying to hide the factions in that boxset (however stupid that might be).

    I would guess they will do the same with the Carded toys and with single boxed items like Grappel.

    Hmmm... somehow Jazz grows a bit on me. But the spoiler placement is odd. And he looks too much like a toycar for babies. But without the spoiler he would have some similarities to the Porsche Boxter. At least in these pictures it looks like it.

    But still passing on Tracks :(

    The comics' Mindset was green and white, not light blue. Are you color blind?
