i still need to pick up generations Kup and Scourge

Me too, I should of got it when I saw them. But I did one more stop at Walmart and picked up dirge and red alert, will get cliffjumper and soundwave next time.

Is there a list of the generations series that started in 2010? I need a lot of catching up to do.

Deak,
Glad you like the pics!

DPrime,
I feel the same way about the 'Bug but if you think about it a New Beetle would fit with the Classics theme of being updates of the G1 originals.

If you get some Classics style TF's I'd recommend.

Autobots
1.United Jazz
2.United Tracks
3.Generations Warpath
4.Henkei Sunstreaker
5.Universe 2.0 Sideswipe

Decepticons
1.Universe 2.0, Henkei or "Battle in Space" 2-pack Cyclonus
2.United or Generations Scourge
3.Generations Thrust
4.Generations Dirge
5.Classics or Henkei Ramjet

Taking a look on Ebay now... yikes, $50 for that Jazz?

Guess a lot of these aren't cheap eh? Was United a Japan-only line or something? Any chance of it coming to North America?

Yeah, this might help a lot!

Yeah United is Japan only, but they are well worth the extra cost, especially Jazz. No chance of them coming to the US, and the RTS equivalent is just false economy in comparison to the United one, because you will always want the United version if you settle for the RTS one.

Other classics toys you should look for are:
Voyager Prime.
Deluxe Bumblebee.
Henkei Prowl.
Henkei Hound.
Mirage.

I disagree about united. given the choice between 50$ for United Jazz, and the 7$ I paid for RTS, I'm FINE with RTS. a little paint fixes him up just fine.

especially if you tend to leave them in 'bot mode.

You get what you pay for, and the cheap RTS version is certainly an inferior product in every way possible (i know since i have both). And its not like "a bit of paint" fixes anything, because its the plastic in which Jazz is molded in which makes the United version superior every time. The white is the best you'll find on any tf, unlike the RTS version which is almost translucent so barring a full on repaint and disassembly a few touch ups are like polishing a turd.
The extra silver and better stripes go a long way on the united one too, especially in bot mode.

It all depends on your interest in the character. Jazz has always been one of my favorites, so the extra I paid for the United version was worth it. For otehr characters, it wasn't as important (Bumblebee). It's the same with the level of commitment people will go on the board to make their figure the most accurate like the Hot Toys War Machine. I like it straight out of the box. Others have bought the stickers offered on the board to make it more accurate.

I just picked up the Megatron Mechtech level 2 figure. Pretty BadA$$, i like the look and the detail. Hes very battle damaged because of what happened in Egypt during ROTF.

Anything think theyll do a Megatron on a larger scale?

 

[lerath666]

Meh, white, off-white. it's a toy. it was intended to retail for 15ishUSD. It's still available at retail ( granted, united is starting to dry up, as takara has said it's done). so paying more than that is more or less, allowing yourself to get ripped off. I've got Generations Drift, and will get generations Wheeljack as well.

These are made by Hasbro, and are Carded action figures. Paying that amount of money for it is just not worth it to me. EVEN for a character I love, Like Jazz.


Now, if it was an ultra-rare 3rd party toy, OR had been off the market for 10 to 15 years, that'd be another story.

jetwing optimus prime... japan exclusive, cool!!!!!!

 

[karamazov80]

That is so insanely over the top. . .I'm surprised Bay waited until the 3rd film to do it.

I thought the same thing until I got DOTM Shockwave which right now is my favorite of the DOTM line so far. I think Leader Ironhide is the only one who can top it for me

 

[karamazov80]

Here's an updated pic of my new display. The Faith Leader has really reinvigorated my interest in my Transformers. Kinda wish I hadn't sold off some of the Alts I used to have like Sunstreaker and Tracks. Oh, well. My display's not big enough for what I've already got, anyway. . .

The Megatron gun that came with "Leader" is great for MP Starscream, as many of you may have already known. The MP Prime version is too big.

No getting ripped off is paying some of the prices for third party KO's.
Guess you just dont get it.

Cant wait to get one of these!

Thanks for the info - decided to just go for it. Got him from Agesthreeandup.com. I was looking for something else to get from them since they're the only one with WST Grimlock still, it seems. Guess I put off getting him for too long too!

I'll take a look at those others. Seems like these might fit better with the Starscream-scaled MPs/Faith Leader than the Alternators. I've seen pics of Hound at least and he looks good. Prowl and Sunstreaker are among my favourites, so maybe I'll get them as well.

Since reading "All Hail Megatron" (the Dutch PX over here had them!!!), I kind of want to get Drift as well...

Very good to know - is this true of all the Japanese versions?

Henkei (the Japanese only version of Universe) all came with better paint apps and chrome detaling. United isnt as good but most come with shiny metallic paint which for some characters like Tracks fit perfectly, but for others like Kup and Perceptor and even Wreck-Gar the paint doesnt really work so youd be better off with the hasbro RTS versions. Well...it all depends on your taste i guess.

 

[lerath666]

Nah, i get it fine. I'm just not going to pay 50-60$ when there is a cheaper alternative.

For 3rd party, if it's the only price for it, then it's the only price for it.

Meh, I may have weird opinions on it, but it is what it is.

 

[darkknight]

Got me more generations today. Cyberton Soundwave and Cliffjumper and Darkmount. No luck on DOTM Shockwave.

 

[Spiderwebb13]

Found DOTM Shockwave and the version of Crankcase without his middle finger cut off. Also finally got Generations Thundercracker, but Shockwave is just really amazing out of them all.

 

[ARAFAT209]

i dont know but iam a bit dissapointed at sentinal prime

it looks like it was made out of cheap plastic
