    The below is just a quick summary, consult sites such as Seibertron, Tformers, TFW2005 and Fullmetalhero for more info.


    The Bad:

    Hasbro are experimenting with size classes, There will be at least some Beast Hunters Deluxes and Voyagers which are more simplified, but larger.

    Personally, i think this is a mistake, and just like when they started packing G.I.Joe vehicles with 5 point articulation drivers, they will back pedal on it.

    The good:

    Generations Voyager Rhinox, Deluxe Waspinator, Dexlue Armada Starscream, Deluxe Skids. Legion (MTMTE) Swerve, Legion Cosmos

    The slightly forced:

    Generations Blitzwing with a new head as Double Dealer.

    Blitzwing is a crap template for 'Dealer.

    That Rhinox looks badass though.

    The idol to millions has finally gotten an action figure worthy of him!

    Any pics of DLX Armada Starscream online? I'd be pretty interested to see how that turns out.

    Not coming to a toy shop near you soon. Gears repaint soon please.... as a stop gap for an eventual Masterpiece.
    Those iGear Mini-warriors bug me for some reason.

    Hasbro didn't allow photos of the slides, and no press photos, and obviously no test shots in the cases.

    Maybe SDCC.

    and if not SDCC, quite probably NYCC.

    Of course by then we'll have something new to bite our (own) fingernails about.

    I'm not sure about that DoubleDealer. The G1 is my favourite powermaster and one of the few that survived my childhood.
    However, my recent collecting has leaned very heavily towards Autobots, so maybe this will help balance that out.
