During our coverage of Toy Fair 2012 Hasbro announced that 2013 would be the year of Transformers Generations. With 40 figures that will be released next year, they company will be releasing a lot of these deluxe-sized figures. "Bombard" is the choice word used by Joshua Lamb, Hasbro's brand director of design. Unfortunately, there was nothing to show, nor any hints to what characters will be available. But with Transformers Fall of Cybertron slated to revive the line this year in the fall, consumers will be hungry for more. Read the Full News Story Here

Best news I've heard in awhile. So they are planning 40 figures for next year or between the lines re-launch in the fall and next year? I dont think I can wait that long.

 

Actually after re-reading it it sounds like there are 40 figures planned for next year in total. Meaning that they wont all be Generations but split among the (most likely) Movie Trilogy line. Still holding out that we'll get some voyagers.

This is epic news! If any TF line has earned the right to not only continue but expand in volume to the point that we're getting a new figure nearly every week on average, it's Generations.

Kind of makes you wonder how many of those are going to repaints, but if they get new heads and awesome new paint apps like Sky Shadow and Junk Heap then bring them on anyway!

If not I'm sure they'll drop the price from $12 back to $10.

I would rather pay $12 for the normal size Deluxe figures and $20 for normal size Voyager :P

Hopefully they will all be normal deluxe size.

 

I doubt they will be, all the figs being released of late, have been getting smaller and smaller.. The least they could do, is do some premium paint jobs, since there taking away all that plastic.. but once again "i doubt that will happen" lol!! But I will still drop loot on these for the love of updated G1 Characters~!

Grain of salt.

 

True at least 20 of them will get canceled, I'm sure they already have 5 that they are going to cancel next month and they always cancel the ones we really want

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
