You know the ones, where there show the alt mode on the front all airbrushed up and looking shiny (In my eyes equivalent to air brushing celebrities) when the actual reality is the regular dull plastic we all know and love. Case in point the new Generations Nightbeat here: www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-official-images-of-upcoming-generations-deluxes/30854/Aside from the fact it's nothing like the comic version and a re-tool of bumblebee - we'll leave that one for now; doesn't it bother anyone else with these less than truthful representations? It's not just on the boxes either, sometimes in product shots/promotional shot - more the latter.

It doesn't bother me too much, but it would be nice if the artwork and the figures matched closer. My main problem with the Generations line is the comics. You don't get the comics over here in England.

Really? I don't have many generations figures only Hoist who came with his spotlight comic.

I haven't seen a single one that came with the comic. I got Generations Megatron and it didn't have the comic (got that from Toys R Us) and my Generations Centuritron didn't either (Got that off ebay, it was the Japanese version).

I agree 110% Hoist. I don't like it much myself. I wish they had the same high quality paint-jobs too!
And now I've looked at NB, the comic version looks like a repainted Jazz!
However, I can now get a proper Morpher toy!!

Whenever I see Nightbeat - I always see Morpher instead. (In my eyes/in my head)

Well, originally there were pictures leaked of these upcoming generations figures that actually showed Nightbeat as being the Jazz mold with the new head/paint apps. At some point or another, they switched molds, assumedly because the Jazz mold costs more to produce than the IDW Bumblebee mold, but apparently late in the process given that the comic cover still reflects the Jazz mold. I never got this mold (heard it is awful) but I might get it as Nightbeat. Didn't need another Bumblebee, and Goldbug looked like crap.
