He does look the biggest but I think that is due to the upper torso, those shoulders and wings are quite wide.

Skids: Not crazy about the mold or the color choice, but I need a Classics-verse Skids for my display.
Goldfire and Dreadwing: I already have BB and Megatron, and the molds really aren't that great. I'll pass on these two.

Is Goldfire supposed to kinda look like Movie Bumblebee? The face, I mean.

It's based on G1 Goldbug's head:
And by the by, it's based on the original head design of the G1 Bumblebee toy:

Waspinator is a pass only because I don't collect BW characters. He looks pretty good though.
Posted by Dead Metal on November 11th, 2013 @ 1:15pm CST
Why didn't he do the same to Waspinator, the bot that gets blown the f**k up in almost every episode he's in?
Waspinator is awesome!

I took the liberty of translating the caption, and guess what: he claims Skids has missassembled hip joints.

if you look close at the first laying down pic of skids and the second one (with the legs pulled off) you can see that he's probably reversed the hip pieces... in the first one the slot on the side is much farther back than on the second one - I think whoever did it swapped the left for the right.

Thirdly, I'm not crazy about Waspy's beast mode; I wish it kinda fit together more snugly. But his robot mode is looking sweet!

Waspinator is pure perfect. Both will be bought in some form or Takara.

LOL....no its not. That line is dead and this guy taking a pic next to the dead line proves it. That skids looks NOTHING like G1 skids, save the colors. Neither did IDW Hoist or Trailbreaker. To complete your "CHUG" collection you are going to have to either custom your own figures or go 3pt.

Six months ago you were running your mouth about how these were the new classics as well. So, are you trolling or did you genuinely change your mind?
Posted by Sabrblade on November 12th, 2013 @ 7:55am CST
Oh, they're not Classics, yes, but they are still a new kind of G1. "G1" is not limited to just the original cartoon or the 1980s era. If you would just read the IDW comics, you would know this instead of mistaking these for Aligned toys (which they aren't, since the Aligned portion of Generations is dead too).shockblast2 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Tis a shame that this is IDWverse.RiddlerJ wrote:Do we still have to wait until January for these because I need Skids now.

Really?
Your kidding, right?
Never would have thought that when I bought FOC Thundercracker just a month ago and the FACT that FOC Skywarp is due for a March 2014 release.
Your delusional.

Only for Generations it is. Prime Beast Hunters, Rescue Bots, and Platinum Edition, however, are still going.shockblast2 wrote:Aligned is dead? LOL!

IDW Thundercracker and Skywarp borrowed the designs of their Aligned counterparts. Again, if you read the comics, you'd know this.shockblast2 wrote:Never would have thought that when I bought FOC Thundercracker just a month ago and the FACT that FOC Skywarp is due for a March 2014 release.

I should've said G1 cars. When I think Classicverse, I tend to think of that whole CHUG line, not specifically the Classicverse from the comics.

Nope sorry, but he's right, the Aligned portion of the Generations line is dead for now, it'll likely come back late next year/ early 2015 with the next installment of the Aligned video games.
For now it's idw, with a bit of Movie 4 preview thrown in next year.
That THundercracker is not FOC, as you where told earlier it's idw G1 Thundercracker.
Skywarp is a Takara release, and therefore not part of the actual Generations line and therefore not relevant to this discussion.
Also, it's "you're delusional".

I did read the comic that came with my figure. The IDW Thundercracker looks NOTHING like FOC Thundercracker. Hasbro is just too cheap to create a new mold for it, so they used the FOC Starscream mold. Which is good for aligned fans, because it keeps the line going until the TF3 game comes out, whatever it will be called.
Classics is dead. Hasbro killed it when they went to the new size classes. That is why they hooked up with IDW in the first place. as a new outlet for their new "g1" figure line. At least for now. Personally, I hope it continues because I like the new figures. Unless you want to go 3pt you are screwed on getting figures to fill your holes. And if I collected Classics figures that is exactly what I would do. Either that or custom your own.
