Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege! I was shocked it wasn't over, and even more shocked that they had a whole line of exclusives coming to Walmart. And shocked-er that they gave one to each of us on the way out! Each one includes a build-a-playset piece of Teletran-I.

Expected around April - if not sooner - the line is based on the Netflix War for Cybertron show, which looks significantly better than the previous Prime Wars show. A mystery Ultra Magnus comes in a box claiming massive spoilers with Cybertronian script hinting at Rung's involvement somehow - we didn't see any of the toy. Voyager-class toys include Megatron and Hotlink, each with two Battle Masters figures. Megatron has more battle damage. If that weren't enough, there are tons of Deluxe figures. Set your wallets for Decepticon Mirage, Scrapmetal, Chromia, Sideswipe, Hound, and I might be forgetting one or two. I'm on a plane. What do you want from me?
Transformers Generations in 2020 is a lot like Star Wars in 2004-2009, where "just different enough to make you mad" was how I described much of Hasbro's action figure line. The same - or similar - molds are being offered with some interesting character redeco changes, and vast improvements in battle-damage paint that makes you question re-buying figures you already bought and had no good reason to buy again. It's also good for those who missed them the first time.
