Is...is Hasbro really serious about FOC Bruticus' colors or are they just trying to punk the fandom?

ewwww. I did say I'd buy FOC Bruticus whatever colours we got, but seeing the individual bots and the combined form...Hasbro is making it difficult for me to keep that promise. Maybe they want it to shelfwarm so people will stop asking for them to make gestalts?

Jazz looks okay, with his blue head. Boximus Prime still terrible, but damn, Shockwave is pretty awesome!

FOC Bruticus looks OK to me, though I'm still thinking the same thing I've been thinking since I first saw them. Many of them look like retools of WFC figures.

In particular, Brawl in vehicle mode looks a lot like WFC Megatron and Swindle looks a lot like WFC Soundwave.

I'm still getting them in whatever color schemes they get released in, but this 'G2' looking set is definitely for the kiddy crowd, so I expect Takara to do a more 'serious' looking set that everyone will be clamouring for.

Now, for TF Prime, why did they give Bumblebee a Leader/Weaponizer whatever class and not Megatron!? Why do they keep doing this!? No one wants big ass Bumblebees, we want Optimus and Megatron! If you're going to make a leader sized Optimus, why not make a Megatron that size as well? It makes no sense.

those bruticus colors are atrocious.

i'm actually starting to warm up to the new fall of cybertron prime. i think he's going to be one of those figures who looks nicer in person.

shockwave, as usual, looks absolutely beautiful. he's got every feature that i loved about the original G1 shockwave.. plus a truly kick ass looking alt mode.

jazz.. he looks good, not great. he could REALLY REALLY REALLY use some red in his design and i wish the blue were darker, and i wish his headlights were painted red. oh well though, i can fix most of that stuff.

i'm interested to see if anything is actually revealed tomorrow.

hasbro loves things that make no sense.

i bet a lot more people would pick up the leader prime if megatron had a leader version as well.. most people don't want their primes towering over megatron in their collections. so i doubt they're going to sell as well as they would have if there was a megatron to go along with it.

Wait. Is this the entire Hasbro display? No new figures that we didn't know about on display? Or is that a different event?

Where's Voyager Breakdown, Dreadwing, and Skyquake? Or Deluxe Jet Vehicon?
