Yessss awesome news! Thanks Will!

Man that’s downright reasonable. That’s crazy.

Wow! Those Target exclusives are priced about $10 cheaper than if you were to by the same count the way they're singly packaged.

i.e 1 Voyager is $30. 3 Voyagers at $26ish a pop.

Thanks Target. Or Hasbro. Or whoever sets the pricing.

I totally understand that sentiment. But considering the Universe Combiners were based on Operation Combination combiners, if they were ever to be realized again, I'd prefer them to scale up with the previous CW & PotP ones we already have and use the same system. The same with Landcross and Monstructor/Dinoking.... except that in ALL those examples, these were teams of six instead of 5, and they coujld only combine in one way. I guess relegating one team member to be a weapon would be fine.

I literally love everything I'm seeing. Astrotrain looks awesome and so does Apeface. Crosshairs and Spinster look great. Can't believe we are actually getting a Rung. I really want to get my hands on that Micromaster ten pack. I cannot believe we are getting Micromaster combiners that's awesome hopefully we get Oiler and Slide because they are my favorite. I also didn't expect to get Rumble and Ratbat is also a nice surprise. I'm betting Frenzy will come with Buzzsaw.

Those packs are surprisingly affordable, I thought they’d be a little extra for exclusivity’s sake. Definitely going to have to check them out when they start showing up!

I would have like to have seen an effects pack, with the different blasts all in different colors.

I was going to mention the bargains- are they missing anyting? Are the *Rainmakers* missing any accessories that come with standard Voyagers? For the Micromasters are they missing anything?

The one released Amazon exclusive (Greenlight) equates to one dollar less than retail price for one Deluxe + one Battle Master.

The value of the contents for the Autobot Pack would be about $46, and the Decepticon Pack $48, but BOTH are expected to be around $45 or $46 USD if released through Amazon (as expected).

Not as good a deal as what Target is offering, but you still get your monies worth.

Fullbrunt? Ubertilt?

I realize now you guys are talking about the 2 blue Micros that combine in alt mode.
They look fun, but how awesome would it be if they DID revive those guys? I'd be all for it!

Some fun reveals here. Lot's of great stuff coming our way!

For real, Micromaster combiners revisited with better gestalt mode articulation would be awesome.

I'm glad there affordable. And I guess that means I have to go to Target now.

I was little and went by the cartoon honestly I heard the names before I could read them. I was programmed young

*holds hand up*

I'm the same, to me Rumble is blue because of the cartoon, and I got the toy off my parents and didn't read the card

Those prices are suprising as that's a little discount on the voyagers isn't it? Maybe target got to set the price on these.

Huh I've been been more happy to be wrong about something. Those are great prices for the sets and the petty side of me is happier still because that means the idiot that bought the eBay set paid more than double what the rest of us will have to pay.

Obviously unsure when these exclusives will release, but from my experience with Target exclusives, they often end up in the post holiday season clearance isles. So there's a modicum of wishful thinking.

I could be wrong, but I think this is a nice result of not having a live action movie this year. One less full line to develop, and while it seems SS and Cyberverse keep *trucking along* , Generations is really getting a chance to shine with exclusives. Even though many of them I will not purchase, I still love seeing them all, and appreciate the attention this line is getting.

Awwww yeah.. Can't wait for these guys to hit the shelves. This IMHO is one of the best lines.

No targetmaster transforming guns for target master characters is a fail.

Everything else looks full of win for me!

That’s why they have Battle Masters. The Autobot box set’s Trenchfoot could pass for Pinpointer for Crosshairs, and the three Decepticon Targetmasters are already a thing. The Battle Master in the Decepticon Phantomstrike set also belongs to Spinister, who is also here.

is like each micromaster at $4... and those are smaller than legion class

come on hasbro, where are the real legion class?

Hear me out.

Let's say, by the time WFC part 3 rolls around, all that is left for Micromasters is Micromaster Combiners. So, in WFC Part 3, what if we get a LEADER class Broadside. This could replace the lackluster Titans Return boi. AND his release could coincide with Sixwing. THE MICRO AERIALBOTS COULD CHILL ON THE CARRIER MODE. Just like those tiny ones that came with Titans Broadside!

**EDIT**

Ooooooh! Maybe the Titan for that line could be Raiden! And it could be like... A mild focus on combination for the line!

Looking at your list, I don't think we're missing too many now

The micromasters are $10 but you get two of them. As far as legion class goes you should probably just accept the fact that it died out for generations years ago. I can't see them making any more.

An interesting bit of news from . Unicron is planned as a TT Mall Exclusive. Though the translation is rough, it still seems dependent on *if* the crowdfunding Haslab project is successful. It would be awesome if pre-orders could be added to the overall total, perhaps this is the beginning of allowing this to open up to the rest of the world....

I grew up on the original cartoon, toyline, and comics, and I don't remember noticing the discrepancy, so I find myself constantly being confused by it.

As for these reveals so far, I'm all over that Micromaster pack, AND Micromaster Rung (any official Rung, really), and maybe the Rainmaker set. It's a good value if that's the real price, and personally the Voyager size feels right for Seekers; I'm just not sold on the block-coloring paint jobs. Something's gonna get adjusted if I buy that set.

Well he was literally asking about legion class before the list so that's more on you than him if you couldn't figure that out. Either way you were unnecessarily rude as fuck.

Yes, he was talking about Legion class before that. But the actual names he listed - and those he didn't list - made me think he'd shifted.

Okay but, why is no one talking about how they put in my boi Erector in there?

You’re constantly barging in steamrolling everyone’s comments everywhere you go.

Please be here to have fun. It seriously sucks the air out of the conversation.

Anyone can squash me for calling you out but I’m tired of you stomping on everyone.

There’s different ways to be helpful and informative, please find some. Your current methods aren’t working, sheath your damned saber already. Put half the time you put into burning people into being polite and see the positive results come rolling in.

All I need is that Rung

I am here to have fun... It's just, there are things that really frustrate me or try my patience... Maybe I should just stop trying to be a part of forums.

I cant tell, but it lools like Apeface's...Ape Face is dome the same way the Wolf head on SixShot was: you putvthe TM into fill it out. Yeah, a proper triplechanger head woulda been cool, but I am okay with it cause we get a good figure as a whole

I'm willing to bet a third party company or someone on Shapeways'll make a proper triple changing head. Besides, it's just a minor thing on a very cool (and anticipated) figure

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I am here to have fun... It's just, there are things that really frustrate me or try my patience... Maybe I should just stop trying to be a part of forums.

There are most likely things on any public forum that just about anyone could say frustrate them or try their patience, I'm certainly not immune to this myself. However, it is how you react to those things that really make reading these forums not that enjoyable for many others. Not everything you find issue with needs to be commented on.

As an example for me personally, the 473 times you've brought up how Hasbro has the design/transformation of all the gun battlemasters wrong. Complete overkill, and I'm guessing a few others may be sick of hearing about it too. However, nobody has decided it annoys them enough to quote you, highlight portions/change color, and then add a condescending note of their own to it. It is okay to just let it go past and die out of the conversation.

You have a great deal of knowledge to share, it is the way you share it that turns many off. I myself have been wavering on whether or not to block you. Not from any direct interactions between us, but just because it seems like lately your comments are shifting more and more toward just arguing with people for the sake of arguing and having to be the most rightest person on the forums as opposed to actually sharing some insights. But then every so often you'll mention some point or piece of TF history I hadn't considered or known myself and I'd hate to miss that.

Edit: Or what cobs said below, he said it better than I could, and it is probably his place over mine to say it in the first place.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I am here to have fun... It's just, there are things that really frustrate me or try my patience... Maybe I should just stop trying to be a part of forums.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You often have insightful and interesting things to say. Often your posts add value to the conversation. I know you are an intelligent guy. You have a lot of worth while facts about the world of TFs in that noodle of yours, and a nice imaginative way of playing with and enjoying your toys. You just have a tendency to bulldog your point, and often end up insulting other users. I'll spare the speech on objectivity and respecting others rights to have their own opinions. I'm sure we've had that talk already.
But if these "frustrations" and "tried patience" works you into such an angry and combative place, I think you could use a moment of reflection.

I mean, it's a make believe world of sentient alien robots. Do you really need to get that worked up over it?

I'd be happy to discuss any of this with you further, but let's take it to PM so we can get this SIEGE train back on the track. 'K?

Edit: Cheers Kev.

Quitting wont help you have more fun. The best thing to do is to just chill. Everyone wants to have fun too, so assume people arent out to prove you wrong and just write to people the way you would like to be written to. Like the way you and I frequently write back to eachother And everything will be fine and fun.

I'm hoping we see more Micromasters next line: they are hit and miss and not a huge priority for me but I'm glad to have them when the opportunity is there.

Rung is a major surprise, what with the death of that convoluted mess that IDW 2005 was. Judging by his VERY DIFFERENT Battlemaster transformation scheme, this seems to confirm the Battlemasters if next line will have at least one gun mode which looks different, using the legs for barrels. This seems to confirm we'll see some more gun-based Battlemasters next line.

Perhaps you missed the part where I said generations? Those aren't generations. If you're going to look at every line as one then sure it's not dead, just clinging to life. Legions just clearly aren't a priority so all I'm saying is you shouldn't hold your breath to see pretty much any of those anytime soon.

At the very least they should purposely tease the next line. Not put the wrong background like what happened with Titans Return
