While Metroplex tried his best to steal the show, he faced some stiff competition from the upcoming Generations line. The Voyager class will see the return of true triple changers with fan favorites Springer and Blitzwing. Both feature three excellently executed modes.We also learned that Hasbro has been working with IDW Publishing to bring their character designs to life in toy form. The upcoming Deluxes will come packed with their character's Transformers Spotlight comic. These figures include Trailcutter (aka Trailbreaker), Orion Pax, Bumblebee, and Megatron in his new stealth fighter body. We were also introduced to a new line of Legends Class figures who come packed with Targetmaster-like accessory. On Display were Optimus Prime with Roller and Bumblebee with Blazemaster.

Love the Generations stuff from the Anniversary line, nothing from this year though. 2014 will be a great year.

Springer is looking better after my initial disappointment that he looks nothing like the FoC artwork.
I still think Blitz looks like a brick. That's one more Blitz available to you guys.
I am liking Megatron. Art I've seen suggests some kind of energy blades instead of a cannon but he still looks fine.

To the one who said Springer is "the poor man's Defender", considr yourself slapped in the face, because this guy is BUY ON SIGHT! And to all the Blitzwing fans, happy now?
Also, about time we get some IDW figures, and a proper Orion Pax figure.

About time. 
I'm loving the crap out of Trailbreaker. Here's to hoping a Hoist will be remolded from him!
Still pissed about Optimus being Legends-scaled.
The Targetmaster Bumblebee's a buy, just because he's smaller than the first Classics Deluxe, and he still pulls off a nice G1 homage.
I'm curious about Megatron. Does his fusion cannon plug into his arm like it should?
The Deluxe Bumblebee is... questionable, at best. I kinda dig him, but I love me some G1 homages with a modern twist, and in my opinion, I think the Legends is the closest we can get.
Did I mention I'm in love with Blitzwing and Springer?

Just as the larger-scaled Beast Hunters Optimus was derpified because someone doesn't know how to properly transform something, Blitzwing here is mistransformed as well. Here is how he's supposed to look:
Judging by the difference in headsculpts between Seibertron's and El Duque's on-site images and these, it does appear Blitzwing holds a small homage to Animated Blitzwing, that being a face-changing gimmick. I wonder if he has a crazy face...

Aha! So he does have the rotating face gimmick, I thought so
!
That's great news. It means I will be getting him after all. I didn't want that Animated style face and was hoping he had a more G1 looking face, and it appears that he does.
I have officially departed the fence.

why do they need to add a comic book? now the stores will charge even more for them cause they have an extra. They all look good (except for blitzwing) but unless the prices go down im going to pass. So far springer is still the only must buy for me.

Because I'm willing to spend more on the better version of a figure regardless of cost. That's why I buy Takara Generations figures instead of Hasbro.

Finally Hasbro has put down the crack pipe, and came to their senses!!! Thank God for rehab! I am hyped about Springer, Blitzwing, and Trailc--Trailbreaker. Now if they'd just take cues from Maketoys, and TFCToys, and come up with a nicely done gestalt. I don't really care about the Beast Hunters stuff. The only one I'm buying from that series is Smokescreen.

Better paint, more paint, different (better looking) plastics much of the time. For most it's probably not worth the additional cost, but to me it is.
I have both versions of many Generations/RTS etc. figures (Takara and Hasbro) from the past several years so I can compare them in-hand and to me, the Takara versions are nearly always superior (though some more than others).
You have to keep in mind though that I'm a very picky collector. I want the very best version of every figure/character that I want, and that usually means that I must pay more and import to get it.
There's nothing wrong with the Hasbro versions, but if the Takara versions are better (which again, they usually are, at least to some degree), then that's what I'll buy.

Actually I was the one who said GDO Springer (Tomahawk mold) was the "poor man's Defender" Get your Springers right. This new one will be joining my collection, not to replace Defender but to be part of a different G1 movie display. Im not a big fan of IDW heads. Still waiting for that Blurr add on set to make him look G1. Orion Pax will also be bought on sight, but as soon as somebody does a G1 anime head, the "Optimus head with a mouth" gets thrown in my parts box.

I can't believe a Springer is coming that is actually worth owning. I guess even Hasblo gets something right every blue moon.

Also really hoping that arm cannon thing on Trailbreaker is detachable. I really hate when hasbro does that. Dont get me wrong, it's still an awesome figure that I will buy. But Id like to have the option. If he still has his hand, than it's not the traditional cannon arm. I guess only movie Bumblebees get that these days.

Call me insane, but TOMY will have to build one hell of a story to convince me to buy these from them (IF they do these, and not just focus on their own anniversary line).
Plus, Megatron amuses me.
If Mantarex Prime wants to dispute it, then he should also compare Hasbro's Commemorative series to TOMY's ENCORE series first. The rest are too visual, as Hasbro favors a flat paint style versus TOMY's post-merger use of metallic paint.
And even before the merger, a good chunk of Takara's products were both exclusive and superior to what Hasbro put out those years. So the point being is that if liking how TOMY gave "Generations" life by using a superior paint scheme that gives the figure more depth and more contrast makes me insane...
Then you might as well place me in Hotel California (which is now CSUCI).

Springer is pretty impressive, but I have to say, after waiting so long, Blitzwing and Trailbreaker are kind of underwhelming.
Orion Pax and IDW Bumblebee are looking good, but I'd hope for a Voyager IDW Megatron.
So about 50/50 in my book.

This might sound weird coming from me, seeing how I am the "Takara Tomy only" guy... But Springer looks more like something Fansproject would have made if Hasbro was not going to.
And I say that in a good way since they have been impressing me lately.

I see Generations Kup more than War Within Orion Pax/Optimus Prime.

2013: The year Hasbro strikes back.
They saw how much of our wallets we were already sacrificing to the 3rd parties this year and knew they had to get in on the action, so they finally relented and gave the people what they wanted.
While I too wish for a Voyager scale IDW Megatron, that figure is far too beautiful for me to pass up. Of the six figures they've shown, Bumblebee is the only one I'm not interested in, and that's mostly because of my distaste for the character, rather than the quality of the mold.
Blitzwing is the one I'm most looking forward to, as I can finally make an IDW Earth Infiltration cell.

Good advice, regardless of venue.
Think we'll actually get both weapons this time or get shafted like we did with Soundwave?
Also, thanks, now I can't unsee that "sword".

Blitzwing is pure win, and his Alpha Fighter alt mode, means he can slide into the classic collection bypassing W/Foc...
Springer, while better then his previous Gen. fig. is still too alien.
IDW Black Megatron is totally going in the classics as my BWII B.B..!
And Failbreaker, while bought on sight, has too much "Neon" red.
*not really "Neon" red, but I guess "Neon" is TF slang for ugly*
and Orion Pax? Looks more like Optimus Prime without a visor.
Surprised IDW Bumblebee has a Targetmaster and not a gimp cane..

All Look great. Except Bee. He's Meh.
Both triple changes are great! Will get them. Was there something about an Astrotrain from Robotkingdom awhile back?
I'll be waiting for the inevitable Sandstorm repaint of Springer too... Now what do I do with Asian Generation Springer?
Also, the jet does not do it as megs for me. It looks great, just more like another character... Like G2 Smokescreen.
Pretty sad that Prime was a legends class. Wanted a voyager one. Ledgends come with targetmasters now? Can't wait to see the price. 
Hmm... Now that I think about it... Remember this guy who once came along and posted a thread about the names of 2013/2014 Generations figures that all looked too good to be true? I think he was right...

Isn't that TM Optimus the one that was featured on the cover of that Toy and Hobby Retailer magazine from Australia? The issue that had the whole front page dedicated to Hasbro

Yes it is. And while I am not too impressed with the mold, I like how they turned Roller into a triple-changer that also has this Prime technically be a Targetmaster.
