Motto: "Freedom is the right to KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"
I'm looking to pick up a couple Jazz' to make into Rad and Jackpot and down the line Ultra Magnus, Swindle, Grimlock and maybe Blaster but those are either just because of the character or to better fill a place in my Classics collection. The game might change my mind but this line just doesn't appeal to me and I'm both a TF collector and a gamer. And that's a bad sign.

Oh, and Classics was in 2007, 5 years ago, not the other way around.

The original Classics line came out in 2005, 7 years ago. There's no point in comparing the due to all the things that have changed since then.


No it's perfectly fair. Just because time has passed doesn't give them license to create an inferior produce just because it's "filler".

Ahh, that's the angle you were coming from. I saw it differently. In which case, I totally agree with you.

Weapon: Viper Pistol
I got FoC Prime last week. His head wants to go down into his chest if you mess with his arms to much, which is always a problem with linked parts moving. And he's significantly smaller than WFC Prime, which is odd since in the game he's supposed to be larger. It's kind of a let down, and he looks funky with a small head. It would have been nice for him to be a voyager class.

I just got Shockwave and Jazz today. Jazz transforms -worse- than WFC Bee. He doesn't sit flush, and worse, the plastic is already seperating from transforming him. But that's my fault for trying to figure out why he won't fold out like he's supposed to.

Wait, Classics was a filler line? See....... I didn't think they actually did that line to appease us adult fans. It just wound up doing so.....for the most part......

Anyways, I'm soooooooo glad not to be the only one thinking this way about FOC. It started for me seeing the first pics of Bruticus. I was hoping for better with the rest, but it was almost an epic FAIL. I want Soundwave and Blaster.........maybe Grimlock. I need to see him in person before deciding, plus the fact that I heard the rest of the Dinobots won't follow.. :sad: :evil: :michaelbay:

Now I wish more than ever that I could have won GetRightRobot's masterpiece of customization ....D.I.N.O...........IMO, of course

If only they gave me a receipt for my wish....

Well, at least they made Starscream, and did a decent job of Grimlock and Kickback. The rest are frankly beneath my contempt.

No one seems to mind that the Classics Seeker mold is the size of a PRID figure. :lol:

That mold was an aberration though. Everything else from that line (and until the PRiD line) was normally sized.
