Transformers Toy Insider S250 has posted some scans from the Transformers: Generations 2010 book over at TFW.

Of particular note is the overview of upcoming United figures, including the first shots of Track's Hood Deco, a more G1-accurate Wreck-Gar, and many minor tweaks to other figures.

Either way it goes, I'm buying the Perceptor with chrome. That toy's too perfect not to own

So, I was hoping to cancel most of United, but I'm keeping:

"Goldbug" Bumblebee
Straxus
Tracks
Wreck Gar
Jazz
Perceptor
Lugnut
Kup
Wheeljack

I think I can safely get rid of Scourge, G2 Prime, and I don't like the yellow head on Grapple.

I'm back on the fence about Blurr.

Thank you Takara for doing these right.

Animated freakin Metroplex FTMFW. Its an aircraft carrier on treads, man. Takara - get on it! May I suggest a "build a figure" in scale with Jetfire and Jetstorm.

Judging by the "Other Autobots" section, they're getting more episodes/seasons of Animated than we in the U.S./Canada got?

Jazz surprises me, I kinda thought the white would be a lot brighter, and is Perceptor chromed or not, the pic makes it look like it's just white.

Tracks's hood paint was pretty much expected, but I think it will be cheaper to just get the eventual reprolabel for that.

Wreck-gar looks good, but just not budget busting good.

And no rubsigns on these, huh?

Yup, no unsightly rubsigns.

Some people think that Tracks will feature the metalic paint/plastic like Animated figures in Japan, that might be nice.

Look carefully, I think Jazz has chromed feet.

If you're referring to who I think, that's actualy Grandus.

Chromed feet are nice, but if that's the only difference I'll stick with Generations.

The more I look at them, the more I like the flames on Wreck-gar, and I can't tell if they are there in the United version.

I am also surprised that Scourge doesn't look any different. I'm kinda relived, as I really can't put up the scratch for United versions.

I may be the only person that thinks G2 Prime looks like ass. I'll keep my Laser Prime.

All in all, I would really like for some side by sides of these, we had too few side by sides of henkei with classics/universe until it was much too late to get them at reasonable prices.

Scourge, G2 Prime, and Wheeljack are still using their US stand-ins as best I can tell. Those are not necessarily the Takara versions.

I do kind of hope for a better United Scourge so we can have the generations ones being the Sweeps. I plan on getting a couple of the Cyclonuses from the Battle in Space two pack as his Armada. My sons get the Universe one, and Scourge get's universe Nightstick.

I almost don't want a bright white Wheeljack, I knida want him to be a bit grey and dirty looking. Fits the character better.

No you're not. Give the original a G1 colour scheme, ignore the trailer and pop him in a Voyager class, and I'll gladly shed the cash.

Looks like Wreck-Gar's head and arms are significantly different. Pre-ordered him and Tracks. Thought I was safe on these Generations/United differences.

the lack of rubsigns is sexy...and perceptor looks fantastic.

CURSE YOU TAKARA! Tracks hood deco is obviously so much better, as is Perceptor's alt mode. I think that is indeed United Jazz, as he has painted wheels. If he has painted taillights, we cannot tell. Wheeljack may be the same, and I actually prefer Hasbro's colors for Wreck-gar, even if it's less G1 toy-accurate. Although, Hasbro's has that unpainted waist piece...

Actually, curse you Hasbro for not using these paint apps in the first place.

Dangit... now I really have to think about which of these I really want/can afford.

Oh yeah....I spy an MP Rodimus Matrix!

Its an homage to Grandus from Battle Stars. Not to Metroplex. He was indeed a base former, and his alt mode was an aircraft carrier on treads, that combined with Star Convoy.

Loving the Animated character pics. I see Seaspray, Cosmos, Ramhorn... but who are the orange and blue 'bots between Rosanna and Zaur?

Hmmm... more Blurr.

Both first time Animated characters making a few cameos in Season 3.

That design on the bonnet of Tracks, it's so garish, so vulgar. I LOVE IT!! That's a winner.

It would seem as though Hasbro's inclusion of chrome on Generations Perceptor has put Takara on the defensive. There's so much chrome on that figure that it'd probably burn off your retina if you exposed it to the sun.

I too am disappointed with the lack of variation between so many of the United figures.

Maybe Takara finally figured out that people will buy their stuff simply because they believe anything from Japan is better.

Why these things gotta be 3x the price? Tracks and Jazz are major upgrades...what a difference painted wheels look on Jazz.

I don't know if the picture of Frenzy/Rumble, and Wheeljack are takara or not, but I do know that Kup, Scourge, and G2 Prime are pics of Hasbro's version because they are completely unchanged from all the pics we have already seen.
