    Ok so… I’ll preorder Toxitron, Cloudcover, and Dead End (hopefully a new name). The others I’ll get later or if they go on sale. I hope they do a second wave with G2 Blackout and the Jungle Seeker to complete the unreleased G2 Seekers… (still need G2 Starscream as well)

    Optimalprimal Diecast construction. It's a lost art.

    You kid, but I'd love to see an ironhide that had a toy inspired riot mode. The front window slides up to cover the head and a parts formed sled.
    Retool it into emergency surgery Ratchet.

    G2 Sideswipe will likely be the unused Yellow one.

    Don't forget Jungle Seeker! Hope the team can make them all happen somehow.

    If anything, I'm surprised Wal-Mart is even wanting to continue to carry exclusives going after seeing how badly they've seemed to sell these past couple of years. Between Velocitron and those Kingdom BW repaints, and even the BW re-issues, Wal-Mart hasn't had great luck with exclusives lately.

    Walmart is a miserable place to shop at. I eventually gave up looking for Cosmos simply because I hate going in there. I'm also not surprised they end up with tons of inventory especially for Transformers which are pretty expensive. I doubt most parents would impulse buy a Generations toy $25-$50 when they would likely tire of it within a day.

    If this subline is to continue, there is one figure that absolutely, positively needs to be in it. Say it with me, folks:

    ACTION
    MASTER
    THUNDERCRACKER.

    As usual, Hasbro needs Walmart, not the other way around. They pretty much have to throw these retailers exclusives.

    I get the appeal of these to hardcore collectors, but, if I am being honest, my first reaction was relief they didn\'t have some \"essential\" G1 character in this mix.
