This especially helps out the Generations line, which is all deluxe-sized.

Since you say that you're enjoying the Generations line so much, I'd highly recommend looking into getting some earlier released figures (despite that going against your pre-RotF plan a bit). The reason for this is that Generations is a continuation of Classics. Note that Classics originally was to be a brief line, but Hasbro ended up continuing it with Universe 2.0, and now Generations. While each of these are, technically, separate lines, they are made to fit in with each other.

Also noteworthy is that Generations and Hunt for the Decepticons will soon be making the transition to Reveal the Shield in 2011. For movie-styled toys, RtS will have a few of those, but the third movie will see a major reboot with that type of figure.

I hope that helps some

Yes!!! IT definitely does.

So let me attempt to paraphrase what you said

ROTF Movie line is basically self contained within the movie and features "movie figures"

Generations is a continuation of a previous line called Classics which then evolved into Universe 2.0 (So it goes classics-universe 2.0-generations)

Hunt for Deceptacons goes either way, it just being its own line which has movie esque figures but may have one or two random ones thrown in there which would supplement the Classic/Generation theme.

Is this right so far?

Can you explain to me RtS a bit more? You're saying that the two lines will merge into this line and become a movie line for the upcoming third movie?
