Believe it or not, Generations is on it's winding down before the release of Reveal The Shield. Going out with a bang, the last original mold for the Generations line will be the Super Pretender Thunderwing. Check out how this 22yr old mold translates into the modern day by reading this review.

Awesome not worried about the alt mode not looking exactly like the G1 mold. Digging the updated look. and can't wait to see Black Shadow even if Hasbro changes the name

Just some extra information from someone whose played around with this guy a little more.

 

The two cannons can be pegged, on into the other, like one of the old mini-targetmasters, into something that looks more like his Marvel comics weapon. Also, the air to air missiles on the sides of the weapons are 3mm in diameter, so they fit the new weapon clip system used on Straxus and Ironhide.

 

You can really build a super weapon!

Black Shadow is a completely different character. Thunderwing did not exist in any Japanese continuity, and Black Shadow did not exist in any American continuity.

 

As far as the toy... Thunderwing was retooled with a less organic, more robot-like head and torso (this was all one part on the original mold) and extensively recolored to be Black Shadow.

 

I expect the same to occur here. The real question is whether Thunderwing will come out in JP and Black Shadow in the States this time around.
