    Nature of the beast that this was going to movie-focused. But really, they have enough re-colors and re-molds on deck that I don't think we will see too much in the way of all new molds for 2011 after Warpath.

    Why does generations always get the shaft at toy shows, botcon only member could see the new pics, then they didn't show anything new at SDCC, now toy fair, they don't show anything. It's ridicuous, i don't get why its always getting shafted at every toy show.

    Calm down, we've seen leaked pics of these guys for weeks and Peaugh has reviews for half of them up on YouTube. Many of the toys we know are coming out for generations are redecoes and minor remolds, too, so you can just look at a good digibash to get an idea of what they look like.

    The Reason its being ignored is that the Toy fair is for retailers to order new stock for the coming year. The generations line is already out there and its just a matter of the sales people saying ' Hey we got new figs in the generations line you already sell...do you want these on your order...its the new wave and the old wave is out of stock.'
    They have limited space and limited time to sell with each retailer and new lines make an impact especially with media backing, its just natural all the focus is going to go on the new flashy stuff

    Yep, it says they'll be up in a few hours at the end of the news story.

    I didn't see anything in the report that said Leader Ironhide?

    Very exciting news. Can't wait to see pics of some of this stuff. Wasn't expecting Roller to be the bot that comes with the Ark, but it's a nice surprise. Should be interesting to see how he turns out. Also wasn't expecting the Cyberverse Blackout to have Scorps with him, but that's also a really nice surprise. Definitely going to be concentrating mostly on Cyberverse stuff. Not sure I'll get any of the action sets, but I'll wait to see what this supposed combined-mode looks like.

    Can't wait to see what, if any, other TFP figures they'll have on display. Only the five we know about were mentioned at the panel, but there's at least one more DotM figure in the displays that wasn't mentioned at the panel (Leader Ironhide). I'm actually kinda curious to see what the packaging looks like. Hopefully they've got some packaged samples on display too. Also, while it was inevitable, it's nice to have confirmation that the entertainment pack has a DVD in it.

    Honestly, while it's cool that Ironhide is getting a Leader class figure, I'm disappointed that all three Leaders we know about are Autobots. Hopefully the rumor that we're getting "more than the usual" number of Leaders this year is true. We need some bigger-than-Voyager sized con's to fight all these goody-to-shoes.

    As for Generations figures not being on display, that's not surprising one bit. Generations isn't a big-ticket line for Hasbro, so not showing them off is no biggy. Let's just be happy that it's continuing on where it's predecessors died.

    I'm stoked that Generations will continue. The rest of the information was lost as I soaked that news in.
