I bought Pax and Trailbreaker.
Interestingly, they're in special European packaging. They don't come with comics. They have a small blurb on the back in thirteen languages instead! We are so lucky.
Also on the shelves were Fall of Cybertron Grimlock and Soundwave. I was hoping for Springer and Blitzwing.

The comics can be picked up if you do some hunting around at your local comic shops. The covers that come with the figures are (I believe) variant covers exclusive to the toy releases. I already have all 3 of these Spotlight comics so my only interest in holding on to the comics once I pick up the toys will be just for the covers.

There are six Spotlight comics, and the rest of the Generations line will also include issues, though from the RiD series. So far only the deluxes are 'confirmed', like Waspinator and Thundercracker.
All six Spotlights will be collected into the Dark Prelude TPB, in case you can't get your hands on them!

Ha! I was lucky to snag one when TRU.com put them up the week of Comic Con. Of course I had no luck with Soundwave (most people didn't), who I wanted a lot more. Still...Acid Storm is pretty cool. And VERY intensely green. I'd just taken the pictures of the IDW deluxes at the end of my table where I had the most space, and that's where he'd happened to be.
I was a little surprised when picking these guys up that Bumblebee was the only one not available. I figured it'd be 5 Bumblebees to a case, and the other 3 spots would be these three, since Hasbro loves selling any case assortment with some sort of Bumblebee in it.
And Happy Birthday, dude!

Mine will probably be $13 as well, they very rarely differ from list price. But $13 isnt bad for a figure & a comic, plastic quality & size will dictate if i buy these or not. But at least hasbro finally figured out that $15 deluxes are a bad idea. Now all they need to do is figure out that TRU exclusives are an even worse idea all will be right in the world.

He's a great figure, but he has two triangular panels on the backs of his shoulders that are extremely prone to stressing!!! One was actually stressed right out of the package, i didn't notice and i broke it, the other was beginning to stress. i managed to exchange them, but be VERY careful with these panels!!!

Why is it my luck always consists of endless amounts of Beast Hunters Lazerback and the first wave of Generations: Fall of Cybertron?

Megatron is good,but the weapon is just... not that good looking. I blame the design from the comics for that, though. Trailblazer is probably my favorite from this release, despite the loose chest. I just like the design.
