Hot on the heels at the Hasbro panel that the toys would in fact be hitting Toys R Us stores this fall in North America, we have new pics straight from Hasbro’s displays at SDCC of the “Asian Market Exclusive” Generations toys. What are you waiting for? The images are after the jump.
Keep it TFW for more updates, and check out our fellow sites Hisstank and Toyark for more SDCC 2012 coverage!

They're's going to be a lot of people coming down on you about the grammar correction

So just got the Legends and Scouts?
I don't think the Voyagers have been spotted.
Bakushan
So… Where is HotSpot?
I picked up many of these today at TRU, but not nearly all. Not at all. No Deluxe size figures at all in this series at the store yet…
Stepper
Oic,thanks for the information,there goes the chance of getting a cheaper Artfire.
Transfotaku
It's an exclussive. You need to buy an exclusive to Japan book, then get him. Or, you can buy him from other stores of course, for a remarkable markup. But it's not a "United mass release" exactly. It's a limited edition.
Stepper
Speaking of Artfire,anyone here has PO theirs? So now confirm that there is no mass release for this under UNITED series right?
Transfotaku
No, he's from Inferno. And Inferno got redone to be Artfire (coming soon, Japanese only), Botcon Spark (new head), Solar Storm Grappel (their spelling) with a remold for the crane, and now Hot Spot, with a new head.
Hot Spot always had a Prime-like head.
Also:
There – a location, a place. Over there.
Their – a group of people. Two or more persons. Their house, their heads.
They're – they are. A contraction. Rule with all contractions: Spell it out in your head, if it doesn't look right, it's not.

You realise that this is a homage to G2 Megatron, and not G1 Megatron, right?

Was Hotspot tooled from OP they're heads look alike
And I've always liked G2 Megs' design and wanted a good Tank Transformer so I'll probably get Weaboo Megs.

the blue on hot spot doesn't look right to me. pass either way.

Is Asia exclusive Cliffjumper coming to the US?
I was at the SDCC panel, and they indicated they were not realeasing the First Edition regular Cliffjumper in the US. (Instead, they are releasing Terrorcon Cliffjumper as a FE.) But maybe that's because they are releasing Asia Exclusive Cliffjumper in the US. Thanks!

Weird. Why do the ones showed at SDCC have English and Asian writing? The set I just got are all in English. And the set I have are the actual Asian versions. I haven't opened them yet so I don't know about the directions.
Stepper
Combat Hero Optimus Prime sure look evil.
unicronic
Megatron looks good but disappointed that there is no arm cannon or gun of any sort.
Stepper
Hot Spot is sold
Transfotaku
Those. Are. Awesome.
I want. I want so much!
DoTM is not G1/Classics, nor, technically, is Prime. Also, Laserbeak's releases are spread out over a rather long period of the year.
And his freebie pack-in with Soundwave probably 'doesn't count' for Hasbro, since it doesn't take up a spot in a wave somewhere.
I'd just have doubts of two guys, both supposed to be in the same continuity/toyline, both looking alike enough, both being just one size class difference, coming out close together.
Besides, I'd be hoping they did a Tailgate from RTS Windcharger first, for a spot in an inevitable/potential Scout wave.
Of course, I'd have absolutely no problem with Hasbro doing a 4 pack of the Scouts – Rumble, Frenzy, Tailgate and Windcharger (he needs a bigger release). That would be awesome. I'd buy multiple packs.
Obsidian X
It better not! I need that Prime as Classics Overload.

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about this at SDCC? Perhaps it got cancelled?
Soundwinder
Really? Because Laserbeak got a DotM Deluxe, is getting the same disk treatment, was in Prime as an accessory, and is coming out in this line as a Scout. I don't think Legends-class release of Rumble/Frenzy would preclude a larger one.
Lazerwave
Hey what ever happened to the DOTM Asia Exclusives like DOTM G1 head Wheeljack.
