Wal-Mart computer system hints

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

I don't wanna say I told you so, but I fucking told you so.

Man, why the hell do those damn kids get figures right off the bat, when the Animated squishies got no love? Sari was way more important to her story than these tools.

I'm gonna buy the set just to destroy that Miko figurine.

And I'll back you up in court. She probably purposefully threw herself in the way of your hammer.

So... am I the only one who reeeaally doesn't like Prime's forced mixture of the movies' and Animated's aesthetics...? Too.. clunky..

but Arcee's proportions are good.

Arcee actually looks...good? Starscream's meh. Screw Tiny Prime and Megs and the kids. In fact, I'll probably avoid buying this entire line. But Arcee grabs me in ways I'm not sure I'm comfortable with.

Also, lawl:
These one of a kind figures will be made available for purchase on October 11, 2011 for an approximate retail price of $11.99.
One of a kind?

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

Wow, PVC human figures. These would almost be acceptable if we have not gotten articulated humans in the movie and "Energon" lines.

And, for the record, I agree with Prowl that it defies logic for Hasbro to make figures of characters nobody likes, right after they skipped making toys of Sari and Sumdac.

No we all pretty much think that. One of us! One of us!

Looked to me like she came at him with a knife. Self-defense!

Yeah, I'll go ahead and pass on the Prime toys, I think. The Arcee and Starscream look okay, but not good enough to overcome my distaste for the show. Prime and Megatron, though, just look like crappier versions of ROTF toys, so I believe I'll be ignoring those things.

Great, I can see 2012 now... Prime shelfwarming the pegs while the continued Generations (or whatever they're gonna call it) is nowhere to be seen. Ugh.

Really, though, I've not even watched a full episode of Prime and I already know Miko is worse than G1 Spike. =/

You know, I'm actually getting the impression now that Prime is gonna be it's own toyline not under Generations.

All we know now is that "Generations" will continue and run alongside the movie line. But, Hasbro might pop out a 3rd line.

-almost regrets skipping all of those WfC figures. Almost.
