Here are some Transformers Generations from the Hasbro Toy Fair 2013 Event.
• Springer
• Blitzwing
• Orion Pax
• Bumblebee
• Megatron
• Trailcutter
• Legends Class
For those of you who wanted and IDW Stealth Bomber Megatron, Hasbro has come through with a new deluxe figure! Meanwhile Generations Voyager Springer has been revealed! This reveal is quite a surprise as it lends itself more to a modernized take on the G1 version than it does to Springer’s FOC concept art. The surprises don’t stop there, as another triple changer enters the mix, with the reveal of Blitzwing! Blitzwing derives inspiration from the Transformers Animated Blitzwing; almost like a Classics/Generations version of the Animated design similar to Lockdown and Lugnut before him! Homages range from the Animated head design to the swing-wing fighter mode! Click the headline to check out the new pics!

With Springer in the series,i am hoping for more G1 character to be issue under the Generation line

I just can't get over how awesome that Springer is! I really hope Igear comes through with that Impactor homage, I think those Roche face sculpts would look great together on the same shelf.

Fake. The rear of the car forms the legs, the rest of the top folds up to become the backpack.
Stubot
yeah I noticed that about Blitzwing too
I just forgot to mention it
oh & not sure if Blazemaster bolts onto the back of Bumblebees vehicle mode in the same way as Armadas Hot Shot

Based on that video, Blitzwing's alt-modes look a little troubling: pretty hollow in the back. Here's hoping they'll still peg together firmly.
Also, has anyone been able to figure out if Bumblebee's chest is fake or not? Looks like it's definitely not made from the hood, but could be made from the rear part of the car's roof… but I can't tell for sure.
Fort Max
Soundwave is looking very pointy in that art.
Stubot
ok thanks
mind you I noticed Shockers in there too
on the vid of the toyfair
dunno what his alt mode is though? or if it's just a space gun again
the BH one is a weird looking tank
Yggdrasil
Because he (as well as all the deluxes) is based on the current IDW designs:
Thing is in comics every character currently has a design either based on their WFC/FOC game model or on already existing toys that can be found. So for Megatron instead of making another alien looking FOC style tank toy they decided to go with the only earth mode currently in fiction.
Stubot
ok thanks
well have you watched it or seen it before? some really good stuff on there

The thread is forty-seven pages long, you're not going to get in trouble for posting a video, even if someone else already has.
Stubot
dunno, plus you never can tell with these moderators & the fact that someone may have already posted the same vid on here before
Ravenxl7
Well, Skystalker wasn't a stealth bomber, he was a drone, and like the other Deluxe figures, this Megatron is based on his IDW design. Really good representation of it too.
Why do you think you would get in trouble for posting a Youtube video that's relevant to the topic of the thread?
Stubot
i've just watched the youtube vid of the toyfair & Metroplex looks cool, Springers head sculpt looks fantastic & Blitzwing looks cool, the mega size Predaking looks cool too, Bumblebee has that old camaro look from bayverse plus him with Blazemaster harks back to the Armada line, the mega size BH Prime is looking good but i dunno what that circular thing on his back is supposed to be? BH Shockers looks great too & we finally get to see his tank mode, which looks a bit weird
the only thing i can't get my head around is Megatron, his stealth jet we've seen before
with Skystalker, dunno why they had to go with this & not something different. anyway all in all looking good
mind you i noticed a couple of figs mistransformed on there, Airachnids head wasn't quite right & the mega size Prime with that ring thing on his back, one of his arms wasn't pegged in
i'll prob get into trouble for this but here's the youtube vid for anyone who hasn't yet seen it

What if Hasbro wanted to do new Deluxe molds of characters who already had a Spotlight issue? Megatron and Bumblebee had mini-series but they weren't classed as Spotlights.
moreprimeland
So ready for these…but my fave would be Orion, must have him.
Stepper
A pity i don't think TakTomy will spend the money to reproduce a new mold for a character which has already exist under Henkei series.
Bravemaximike
Yeah, the Henkei Astrotrain is perfect, despite his small size. It's almost like, if they could only remake it, but bigger in Voyager class to match Blitzwing's scale, and keep that Henkei paint job….
Man, how sweet would that be…..
Stepper
They already have a Astrotrain under the Henkei series,hence i doubt they will do again

Uh, Bulkhead's a terrible point of comparison because a significant amount of his mass is width-ways.
Voyagers are still way taller than Deluxes have ever been, barring anomalies like Lockdown (both Animated and RotF) and Animated Blurr.
Scrapmaker
…WELL.
IDW Megatron? Bought on site.
I'm thinking about Blitzwing and Springer. The IDW Megatron had me the moment I saw it. Shame about the size, but not really a problem to me.
