    Wait up... Snap Trap? Great, looks like there goes another $130+ for a set of Seacons, purchased individually. Hoping they make all six!

    I like that they're doing this but it looks pretty average. Keen to see the Seasons and Super Megatron though. Not sure I care for the name of the line (not that it really matters, but "Generations Select" sounds like a budget replacement for "Legends-EX").
    Hopefully these kind their way westward, but I won't hold my breath...
    I wouldn't mind importing them but the Japanese prices seem to have got completely out of control lately. :( 
    No, these are Japanese releases. Japan uses the Generations name too, and these images are from Dengeki Hobby, which is Japanese.

    Looks like it wouldn't take much to take that retooled Evolutions Prime and make it an Armada Prime. Very interested to see how Super Megatron is going to turn out. And if he'll be able to stand up with that huge gun ;)

    Super Megatron is very interesting.

    That it’s from TR Galvatron is very disappointing.

    It's a little disappointing (although not surprising) that they didn't re-do any of the panels that form the trailer for a straight blue stripe instead of a rising one. They somehow found a way to make the cab look worse. And despite both complaints, I'm pre-ordering this ASAP and will be happy to have it.

    Oh that better be Super Megatron because I’m buying that if it is. Also I really hope they’ll show Armada Prime soon with color and his Super mode.

    Well looks like people's wish of having the Seacons being made is finally coming true.
