    Whoa... Yeah. If we were to get a Generations Nightbeat, we could potentially get Minerva, too.

    Classics 1 had the Henki Megs as Megatron in fugly grey and purple, which is one of my favorite Classics TF's. The Classics/Generations/Reveal The shield legends are getting a G1 gun megs. I am praying this is not a Megs, and I don't think it is, as the face and chest are spot on Dark Shadow. Jazz as Deadend? Fracks yes! FTW!!!

    so was I.

    What I tink he means is that we already have had several megatrons and a legends as well so it's not likely to be Megatron

    If we ever get a CUG Blitzwing, they'll probably make a remold into Overlord. Or something...

    I was sort of hoping for a Cloudburst, but this is cool too.

    I checked out the instructions and the remold head looks nothing like him, so probably not.

    with all the Pretender and Action Master based figures we're getting, you could build them up with their own little army... I've already got Bludgeon, Mindwipe and Botcon Banzaitron displayed together, now I'm gonna add Axor and Thunderwing, and possibly BS if he ends up looking really cool and the Thunderwing mold is fun to play with...

    Hooray for Obscure Japanese charactors! I freaking love the idea of Thunderwing's redeco into BlackShadow, all of you I command you, go forth and buy lots of Black Shadow. if he sells well we may get more Victory charactors, maybe even a new Star Saber and Deathsaurus, gasp we may even get Dai Atlas (especially seeing the screen time he gets in the IDW Drift miniseries.) More japanese Geewunners please Hasbro, the fans demand MOAR!!!!

    Jazz getting redecoed into Stepper/Ricochet is a no brainer, but I wouldn't mind seeing him redecoed into Breakdown, Dead End or Wildrider

    allthough one wonders about someof the other Generations figs, who are they getting redecoed into? who else shares a body type with Wreck Gar (other than generic junkions) Scourge (other than the Sweeps), Kup, or G2 Prime (if this isn't redecoed into RID Scourge someone is totally fired)

    and one especially wonders about the Cybertronian Prime, Soundwave, and Megatron, we already have confirmed Bumblebee becoming Cliffjumper. Soundwave may become Blaster but that would be kinda weak.

    Personally? I'd like to see updated versions of the Insecticons in Generations, but with their insectrain mode from Hearts of Steel incorperated in. wouldn't be all that complicated, just fold up the bug legs, deploy some wheels and smash em together

    Good questions... I was wondering the same thing about Wreck Gar, Scourge, and Kup... though at the same time, Hasbro seems to be dusting off some pretty obscure characters, so it really could be anyone. Not even sure if that's a good thing. Would I be excited about a Generations Vroom or Windsweeper? Probably not so much.

    As for the WFC stuff, Hasbro did say that they weren't planning on doing any more figures after Cliffjumper, though it does seem hard to believe they're not going to flog some repaints. Someone in Radicons already did a really nice Hound from WFC Soundwave.

    Plus, Hasbro would be nuts not to capitalize on the popularity of that game by bringing some of the sweet game designs into plastic form. :) 

    Looking at the option head in his instruction manual, I'm going with Vortex. It's not an exact match, but it's close enough, considering it's a "movie" style bot. But I agree about Whirl.

    Er... how does a tilt-cab look anything like a peterbilt? Or a half-track like a microscope? I could go on, but you get the picture. The variation on the jet-mode wings is irrelevant. The fact is, Terradive looks eerily similar to Hellbat in robot mode... the lean proportions, the shape of the head, and the peculiar chest formation.

    some of those make sense more than others, that's for sure... but yeah, his robot mode does look very similar... i didn't notice that before... that'd actually be pretty cool the more i think about it, and compare images...

    nah we already got Solar Storm Grappel out of Inferno. I would like to see that happen though, just pass him Cyclonus' Nightstick, throw some new colors on him and bingo, done for the day

    Wouldn't that just be Inferno with a while chest?

    I'd rather see a Hotspot from that mold!
