Video Review - Transformers Generations Legends Nemesis Prime with Spinister

Odd that we're getting in-hand images and reviews of Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper, but nothing on Gears and Acid Storm.

I was thinking the same thing. Do we know which were supposed to come first?

To the best of my knowledge, Gears and Acid Storm come first. However, in earlier waves, I found Tailgate before I laid eyes on Cosmos or Swerve.

Yeah, tell me about it. I found Shrapnel and Tailgate the day I went to see Age of Extinction, and I've yet to even find one whiff of Cosmos and Swerve.

Still looking for that Generations Rattrap figure? Looking to army build the new deluxe Tankor figure that was just released last month but you can't find it anywhere around you? Well
Hasbro toy shop to the rescue! Hasbro Toy Shop just posted Transformers Generations Deluxe Class Maximal Figure for $12.99 and Transformers Generations Deluxe Class Tankor Figure for $14.99. "yea don't search rattrap" Get them before they're gone! And remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

Another point, Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper are numbered Series 02 18,19... Did I miss some figures?

That's nice and all... as long that you are American. The rest is screwed and us Canadian get slapped a 30$ of BASE shipping fee. Which mean it's 30$ plus X$ per figures. Also, they add taxes on top of your order!
So, pass.

Welp, I was going to order Rattrap, but shipping was $33.00 to Ontario. So, eff that noise.

Looks like I won't be able to get Amazon Slog either.

That would be odd, could I see pics of the inserts? The last two releases, Skrapnel and Tailgate, were numbers 007 and 008.

Holy nonsensical numbering! Maybe they screwed up and numbered them in series with the Deluxe Figures? Tankor, Rattrap, and Crosscut are 15-17.

Now that I have Classicverse versions of Rattrap, Rhinox, Cheetor, and Dinobot, I want to get the United Optimus Primal repaint just to round out the cast. Except that's an expensive import and I already have the Cybertron version of the mold.

Hmmmm

Well, this is a lovely time to be broke...

You had to check if what I said in the previous post was true, didnt you? Also, you forgot the taxes that still apply. Also, they MUST use FedEx, which mean it's a hassle to get your damn package if you're not at home.

Order a few toys from BBTS instead. you'll still have to pay some shipping costs, but it will be way less than from HTS. Plus, no taxes.

Sure, do you know if there's an easy way to post from Instagram since that's what I usually use? I hate to say it's kinda a pain to post pics here.

A simple right-click, copy image link, paste in image tags should work.

All you'd need is the link to the file itself (a URL ending in .jpg, .gif, basically any image format) which you can get by right-clicking and selecting "Copy Image Location", and the [img] tags. Resizing should be done automatically.

Really? It's never worked like that for me before but I'll give it a shot

Yup. I always use hyperlinks from an image hosting site, or I take the image URL and place in in the [img ] [ /img] brakets. (remove spaces)

Well here they are

Huh, that's truly odd. Has to be an error.

Well, there's also the upcoming TF: Legends version and Legend Commander Collection version.

and rattrap is already sold out -_- I saw him this morning but was hoping to wait until the SDCC stuff was in the store so if I managed to grab the kre-o set I could save on shipping. and of course HTS seems to never restock anything ever, so I'm stuck hoping I find it in stores... which given how swerve and cosmos seems to have gone is unlikely

As for the numbers on Cliffjumper and Nemesis Prime. They had been planned for release later on but were pushed up for some reason. Perhaps since the molds were fresh from the rerelease of the Optimus Prime / Bumblebee Wave.

Other figures such as Gnaw , Brawn , Gears , Acid Storm , Powerglide , Bombshell , Thundercracker , Huffer , and Windcharger were planned between.

Not quite. Gnaw and Brawn may have been planned but were pulled during planning, Acid Storm and Gears are in limbo atm, and Powerglide, Bombshell, Thndercracker and Windcharger are planned for early 2015. The last four will not come with their partners it looks like. Powergide will turn into Superion's weapon, and a Legends black car ("Blackjack") will become Menasor's chest plate, no more need for Micromasters.

I do hope Thundercracker at least gets released since he's the only Seeker who makes sense to be in that body.

Gnaw and Brawn cancelled? Aww, that sucks.

Delta Magnus wrote:Gnaw and Brawn cancelled? Aww, that sucks.

Gnaw and Brawn are not cancelled. None of the Legends are cancelled at this point. Just being released out of order.

Cliffjumper and Nemesis Prime were announced officially after Powerglide , Thundercracker , Bombshell and Windcharger.

Just because they have not been shown yet does not mean they are cancelled.

I have it on good authority Kickback , Huffer , Skywarp , Brawn , and Gnaw are coming still at some point with or without partners.

Also Gears and Acid Storm are not on Hiatus. They will be released later this month.

Gears and Acid Storm were just released in the Phillipines

Hasbro's release order has gotten pretty weird as of late huh?

Not relevant to the discussion at hand, but has anyone gotten Leader Jetfire yet? Not usually a 'Generations' fan (outside my Wreckers collection) but seriously thinking of picking him up.

He is out in places as some reviewers have him in-hand.

Concerning leader Jetfire, how come Hasbro can't recreate the cartoon backpack of his like the one attached to the G.I. Joe Sky striker/Skyfire deco? Wouldn't that look great?

Btw, I wonder who was the engineer responsible for this beauty? Hope someday we'll know like we now know who was responsible for henkei Mirage among others.

Kicking off the week with a new sighting, Seibertron.com fan Cayla Callaway has sent us photo proof of Generations Voyager Sky-Byte and Roadbuster in a Target store in Amarillo, Texas, at $22.99. Sky-Byte went to a new home, and two Roadbusters remain - if you spot them around your area, make sure to use the Sightings section and check out the sub-forum too!

Aww hell I wish it was November so I could get my Legends Roadbuster already.

More shelf warming fodder. Like any child gives a squat about either of these characters.

shockblast2 wrote:More shelf warming fodder. Like any child gives a squat about either of these characters.

Yeah, from now on they should cater only to us collectors with Generations! Wait, they already are... never mind

Glad to see them on the selves of my future home state.

Sweet. Cant wait for them to show up in ohio

shockblast2 wrote:More shelf warming fodder. Like any child gives a squat about either of these characters.

Kids? These are for me, fool! Nostalgia City, here I come on the Throwback Express!

Roadbuster gives me nostalgia too... of being so happy my parents didn't buy him! I got Whirl as a surprise bonus Christmas gift back in '85 along with the other TFs I asked for... and boy was I pissed! I was like why the heck did my parents pick up this guy? He's not even on the cartoon! It could have been worse though, they could have brought me Whirl AND Roadbuster! For the record, I didn't play with Whirl and I didn't give him away either. I didn't want to seem like an ingrate.

About time! Ought to stop by the three retailers I frequent to see if any of them have Roadbuster. Might get Sky-Byte to square off against Rhinox, them being from two different series notwithstanding.

Wow. Your life sounds terrible. Even when toys were G1, there was no pleasing you.

Yes, it was hell dealing with uncoordinated parents. Particularly my father who had Sideswipe and Sunstreaker in each hand at a Black Friday style mob scene in TRU, but lost Sunstreaker because he needed a free hand to grapple on the floor with another parent.

1984forever wrote:I was like why the heck did my parents pick up this guy? He's not even on the cartoon!

Because it was a Transformers toy and they knew you liked Transformers?

shockblast2 wrote:More shelf warming fodder. Like any child gives a squat about either of these characters.

If we go by the "shelf warming" logic, then kids must not give a crap about Bumblebee either.

So you got all the TF's you wanted for Christmas, plus Whirl as a "bonus" ? What's to be pissed about ? I could understand if you got just Whirl and not the TF's you wanted. But getting more is bad ?

Whirl was an AUTObot with a helicopter alt-mode with no excuse or explanation why he was not an automobile. BIG no no in my book. What's worse is that neither Whirl or his buddy Roadbuster were on the cartoon. When I got new figures they weren't allowed to "play" with the other Transformers until they made an appearance on the cartoon. I had to make sure their personalities and voices were just right or everything would turn out wrong! THIS is the reason why Roadbuster will provide body heat for the shelves all winter! If you're not a UK comic fan you probably don't care about Roadbuster. They shoulda sent this guy over to England or somewhere...

I ask this without being an ass, nor meant to be offensive; Are you Okay? Do you have some kinda O.C.D that's gone untreated? I am genuinely concerned

Dear god. It's worse than we thought. It's type 5 GEEWUNNER syndrome. The only cure is exposing the patient to repeated doses of Fire on the Mountain, City of Steel, B.O.T. and Carnage in C-Minor until the rose-tinted glasses are ready to be excised with a Cybertron Optimus Prime toy.
