Season 3 was my favorite season, followed closely by the Predacons Rising movie. Only three of the Predacons released as toys are in-show characters: Predaking (S3/PR), Darksteel (PR) and Sky Lynx (PR). The latter two are Target exclusives in the US (as is the entire Predacons Rising sub-line).

We knew this was coming back in July and we know why Hasbro is going this route. Granted, some of the decos look atrocious (especially Bee). I'm still down for picking up all the Predacons, though - especially if Hasbro does all five Abominus guys (with or without the combination gimmick).

That's about how many steps it takes to transform G1 Optimus and he did pretty well back in the day. Besides I definitely agree that the movie toys got way too complicated for their own good. A transforming toy is no longer fun if it takes me, an adult, 30-45 minutes to go from one mode to the other.

But for those of you worried, Hasbro said that Generations will retain its current level of complexity. There's also a good chance that TF4 toys won't be as simplistic as these upcoming "deluxe" toys.
