These guys look cool. I wonder if that faceplate comes down over Blaster's face to make it Budiansky Blaster?

Tempted by Grimlock. Is Blaster a soundwave repaint or a fresh mold?

Half and half, heavily remolded from Soundwave. Steeljaw looks like Ravage got the treatment too.

Did they actually make a connection between rock and Vikings in the bio...?

i've been looking at most of the generations lines. they look very good, but i still don't understand exactly how their grouped. i mean there seems to a half dozen or so different generations lines like gdo, and fall of cybertron. could someone like link me somewhere that explains it to me better? thanks.

oh btw, why does blaster have a cool looking pseudo-g1 robot mode but changes into a truck. seems to me if hes a truck he'd look like a robot truck not a robot tape deck. not that i'm complaining i just wish he transformed into a tape deck instead. but i'm probably not the first or the last person to say that.

Hasbro just puts out some homage figures in whichever line is handy as they know it's a bit of a boost to sales. There's no real logic, although there's currently a lot of figures tying into the Fall of Cybertron game so the alt-modes tend to be things suitable for it.

its a shame, alot of figures are all pretty and shiny-me want.

too bad they didn't sort it into complete line.

edit: btw i checked your link, looks like the toys section has a pretty complete list of generations with the exception of my dare i say it darling little wheelie. i don't know why everyone hates him so much i think hes a little cutie.

Doing it this way we get more figures released that cater to older fans, so it's hard to complain.

Still lots of gaps in our reviews section. http://tfu.info/ is quite good but the indexes aren't pictorial. You could do worse than wandering around http://www.seibertron.com/toys/index.php?f_series_id=2 and searching for character names to see what different versions there are.

I'll wait until someone does a knockoff deluxe. Otherwise he'll look just plain odd standing on a shelf with WFC Soundwave, like they're part of a set of those russian dolls...
