Prime is totally worth having - not sure about Bumblebee. Where'd you get Drift and Thrust? Target. they just did their reset of the toy dept. and have tons of great stuff. Wal-Mart sucks! i keep forgetting that until i go. nada. nothing. same crap since Christmas. PIx...stupid man, get out of the way! i can't see Scourge in JET? mode. argh...why can't the slide show be ABOVE the heads of those fleshlings? Tracks looks cool..i think. Wow, Jazz looks like he should have 25 years ago. Thunderwing looks promising.

YES!!! Finally scored Drift at Target. Poseability is quite limited - guess he'll get the "Studly pose" + sword.

Picked up Thrust at Target tonight. I have to admit, I'm really surprised by how solid he is. This mold has been used in one way or another about a dozen times and it's still very solid. I can only imagine that they refreshed the mold at some point for this release.
Got a $2 off coupon at the register good for my next deluxe Generations figure so that'll come in handy next week when I pick up Drift.

drift and thrust are pegwarmers here in local malls like TK and TRU but it will not take long there and all will be gone by a months time.

Only place I've seen Thrust and Drift is Target and I've only got one of those within 70 miles of me (thankfully it's near by) so I'd rather not wait too long on them. Walmart only got the War for Cybertron figs and Kmart hasn't put any Generations figs out yet.

Some new things have surfaced! First off, Generations is coming to Japan under the name "Transformers United". No pictures, but the listing includes a Cybertron mode Cliffjumper (probably a WfC Bumblebee repaint) and a new Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee that aren't the WfC molds (those are listed as well). Those last three might be the new Legends molds, but there's new reason to believe they're something new we haven't seen. The reason we think that is because Walmart computers are listing new deluxe versions of Prime and Bumblebee that hopefully aren't reissues of the WfC versions. Wreckgar has been revealed for the first time and he looks awesome!! New images of Tracks have surfaced, as well as a new look at Thunderwing's Alt modeEmerje

I think I might pick up the Wreckgar. I used to get so excited about classics releases but lately I am a bit more picky since I am running out of room.

Want Wreckgar. Having some problem locating wave 4 of Generation. There are plenty of cybertronian bumble bee, optimus prime, thrust and drift. All I want from wave 4 is Red Alert.

Not so crazy about Skullgrin, but the rest of the Generations line's new offerings are looking really good.
Looking at the United Optimus Prime and Bumblebee I really hope Hasbro's unseen Prime, Megs, and BB aren't repaints of the crappy two pack again and Classics BB. This would be the third time all three of these figures were repainted for the US release (not counting Cliffjumper). All three will be a very easy pass.

Rumor is this unseen prime is a remake of Laser Optimus from G2.

I thought that unseen Prime is a repaint of the one that was in the two pack Sons of cybertron and the one that was with Megatron DVD combo pack from a couple of years ago. I didn't get either Classics or Henkei version of Megatron, s this time, I am going to import it. Also the bumblebee is a repaint of the classics. TakaTomy united line has 3 reissues and 5 War for cybertron figure, with only the Ironhide version being a new mold.

Ick, your right. That mold just won't die. Its a weak mold, but can be decent with some customization. Its not worth returning. Laser prime looks a bit weirder than I expected.

Yeah, Laser Prime is a bit odd looking, looks like they were trying to avoid the false window chest. I suppose a RID Scourge repaint is inevitable, maybe at SDCC next year (since they'd already done two Nemesis Prime repaints)
But it's nice to see Trailbreaker getting a new figure, even it does also come with a new name.

Ah, I thought we were just discussing the existence of a new G2 Prime, not a specific release in a specific label. yeah, that's going to be the ghastly two-pack mold.

I'm sad for Tracks, he's really let himself go. That roof-chest really adds a lot of weight to him, and he used to love his flying corvette stingray mode so much. I wonder what happened On a side note, it really looks like they used the Binaltech figure as a starting point rather than the original. Looks like Laser Prime really got hit by the "special" hammer. That's pretty bogus, the old figure is one of the best of his era. Hopefully it's just a bad picture.
