Official Product Images have surfaced for the 3rd Deluxe Wave of Transformers Generations. This wave is composed of four figures, two of them are from the upcoming video game, one is a repaint of a well-used mold, and the other is a brand new figure. Cybertronian Megatron and Cybertronian Soundwave are a spitting image of what you'll be seeing come June 22 when War For Cybertron is released. Red Alert is a repaint of the Universe Sideswipe mold, while Darkmount is a Classics rendition of Generation One Straxus. Check out the images below.

All of these will be mine. WFC Soundwave is just so awesome looking and I am loving the all the little G1 touches. Darkmount is impressive in bot mode but his alt mode looks a little goofy for a tank. Red Alert has been a long time coming. I need Megatron to fight my Optimus Prime.

Ok, Darkmount (Straxus) and Soundwave are going on my Classics shelf. If I ever get the MP3 Music Label Soundwave, I'm replacing WFC Soundwave, but that's another story. As for Red Alert and WFC Megatron, RA's going on my Classics shelf, and WFC Megs will go.... somewhere... :lol:

Slag, I was hoping for a red head on Red Alert. Well, I'll have to buy him anyway since he's my fav character from the cartoon.

Posted by Bumblevivisector on June 16th, 2010 @ 10:27pm CDT

I've yet to see anything in this new line that I won't buy at least one of, but as someone who still goes more by Marvel comic continuity because no cable meant I had no access to the toon from 1988 until G2, I cannot express how ecstatic I am that we're finally getting a toy of Straxus, the most impossible of all toyless G1ers to do any sort of kitbash of. But since his toy is a strange half-track instead of a flying cannon, let the kitbashing begin! I'll probably buy the first 3 or 4 of him I see. If he's popular enough to warrant knock-off of the mold, there might even be an oversized one I could attach Energon Shockblast's legs to...

Ah well, at least he's still big enough to loom over Action Master Blaster.

Re: Official Images of Generations Megatron, Soundwave, Darkmount and Red Alert (1087113)
Posted by Trikeboy on June 16th, 2010 @ 10:56pm CDT

Now that someone transformed him correctly, Megatron looks pretty badass. All four of these will be mine.

Re: Official Images of Generations Megatron, Soundwave, Darkmount and Red Alert (1087114)
Posted by Doctor McGrath on June 16th, 2010 @ 10:57pm CDT

WFC Soundwave is looking better. I don't know if the figure is growing on me or it was some photoshop lovin' that did the trick. Just don't care for his flat feet.
Darkmount looks amazing
Red Alert has been a long time coming for me. Can't wait to grab him.
WFC Megatron looks fantastic. Still am loving the blaster placement.
I cannot wait for this line. I have missed classics/universe.. :grin:

will definately be getting these, and if memory serves, Darkmount can transform into a third mode that resembles Straxus' flying cannon.

Your memory does serve correctly on that one. Straxus is a triple changer. I will never call him Darkmount when he is so obviously Straxus.

Re: Official Images of Generations Megatron, Soundwave, Darkmount and Red Alert (1087127)
Posted by Doctor McGrath on June 16th, 2010 @ 11:25pm CDT

Does Megatron have a third mode? In the picture it looks like he is a hover aircraft/tank but in the game he also turns into a ground based tank. The treads with the little plastic wheels look like they may support this.

Darkmount's ankles also kind of worry me.

Hmm...may get the WFC stuff, and if DarkMount/Straxus looks movie enough I may get him....

By the way Blurrz, I like the sig ^_^

Good gravy, what pure win on all counts. THat SOundwave is epic!

As for Darkmount/Straxus, it's nice to see another comic continuity TF getting love (besdies Drift)...I still have those comic issues...I know one was "Into The Smelting Pool" but can't remember the first part of the story.

EDIT: I noticed the article says June 25 for the WFC game. DOesn't it come out on the 22nd? Don't foncuse me...

Posted by Amelie on June 17th, 2010 @ 6:54am CDT

Darkmount\Straxus is the clear winner here. It's a new character for the toyline, it oozes homage to MarvelG1, the alt-mode is cybertronian enough without being a brick with wheels and the bot mode is delicious.

I'm probably not getting anything from Generations other than this figure - it's been the most impressive I've seen thus far and my money right now can't stretch to whole lines of new figures.

Also, to reiterate - Soundwave still looks like a shit combo of Cybertron Soundwave and Brick-with-wheels. If this guy didn't have Soundwave's head and the crappy chest piece, we'd all be horrified by it.

Posted by RiddlerJ on June 17th, 2010 @ 7:46am CDT

I wonder if there's a way we can finaggle Soundwave into the music player mode from the Shockwave commercial :-?

Posted by Stockade on June 17th, 2010 @ 7:49am CDT

All of these is a must! every figure looks great and keep in mind guys that Megatron and Soundwave do not have their earth modes yet!! This is (if my memory serves me right) before the war started on Cybertron and Optimus is not a leader yet for the Autobots and the reason i say this is most of us (including myself) have that G1 mentality and cant see pass their earth modes. Anyway, all of these look pretty awesome!

It's just a combination of the gun and backpack piece.

Oh my god; I think all the pictures are accurately transformed.

I may cry from-HOLY CRAP, is that a seam on Soundwave's chest? Is it a door? Let it be a door. I don't care if he can't triple change into some form of "tape device" (he still might). JUST LET HIM TAKE THE TAPES!

Never. Like Drift and RiD Jhiaxus before him, he's comic inspired.

Yeah I noticed that to in the other pictures. He has what also appears to be a clear tape sort of design within the chest. It seriously looks like it will open or that it has something in there resembling it. Either way just because they went to that much detail in trying to make him look original, I'm still gonna be happy about it even if he doesn't have the eject ability. x3

Decepticon. Pure Decepticon in that spark of his. Most Autobots (except Hardhead and Warpath) don't exactly transform into land-based artillery.

I have been waiting forever for a Straxus figure. I loved him ever since I first read #17. Soundwave, is just pure, epic, win. Megatron and Red are awesome as well.

Bahahaha, I think you're right! For the first time ever, Hasbro transforms all of a wave of their own toys properly. Yet the bad photoshop jobs still make them look kinda crappy. :lol:

Except Megatron, he probably looks better here...

Anyway, Megatron and Soundwave are both purchases, I've expressed my qualms with them before but it's nothing major.

Red Alert and Darkmount, while nice, will be skipped as I have no particular interest in the characters.

Entertainment Earth is calling for them to all be in August, so I would assume we would see Wave 2 in mid August and wave 3 in mid September.

That's a common practice. Certain figures that they assume will be the most popular often get released in more than one wave. It makes perfect sense, actually.

When we say a figure has a certain wave number, it means that the figure starts appearing from that wave on. That doesn't necessarily mean that the figure ships only in that wave.

Awesome, so excited for Red Alert. I already have Henkei Red Alert (and Inferno) so Classics Inferno will get a little buddy of his own now.

Also, is it just me or is the 'shooping getting particularly outrageous lately?

Ok, the "fingers on his crotch" aren't even ON his crotch. They make up the lower torso and represent his little buttons from his Earth mode. :-B

So...much...money is going to be spent on toys this year. I'm 27 and I think this will be the first year in a LONG time I'll honestly and seriously ask for toys for Christmas...I HAVE NO SHAME!

Also will have to invest in more shelves...which is fine by me.

I really hope Soundwave isn't short packed.. Maybe him and Megs will get a early Toysrus online release like Prime and BB.

I am also thinking that Soundwave will be able to go into his "stereo" mode, since he does so in the game. Spoiling this since the game just came out..

I'm only really interested in the WFC stuff, but Red Alert does look cool, so maybe.
