I can't wait for those FoC figures. ANY of them. Hell, even FoC Optimus.

It's like I'm a TF addict, and those FoCs are the only way I'll get mah fix. ● ● ● ●

My biggest excitement was when i opened my Hunt for the Decepticons Battle Blades Optimus Prime.
I was so happy because first i missed out on both 07 movie voyager prime and the 2009 rotf standard version voyager prime because of my low budget.
But in 2011 i got lucky whwn this optimus appeared at the affordable price of 2995 ISKR or roughly 30 USD dollars.

So i sold off three ps3 games for some quick cash, went the following day afterwards to the Toys'R'Us and walked out with this magnificent toy

So i got home, unboxed him and was excited to find out he had both cannons and blades to fight the cons with, and the matrix of leadership is like adding the finishing cherry to a good ice cream sundae.

I am more worried for my lack of cash after MP-10, SDCC Bruticus and FOC comes out... Oh, and I have to start getting the PRID stuff too... And Knight Morpher Cyclops.

i bought a DOTM takara deluxe soundwave on ebay, and i can't wait to have the little fella in my hands. it just looks good, and it's one step closer to finishing up de bayverse collection

I just open and stare at this pic for minutes on end in anticipation for the FoC line. I have no idea what I'd do if a complete team of Dinobots were included.

It shocks me to realize I'm purchasing nearly every toy in that image. Man, it's gonna be an expensive couple of years!

I'm planning to buy every drop of that plastic. Yes, even the Optimus.

The whole line just hits me right where I have the most interest in the TF line: Lots of G1-aesthetic cool-looking giant robots of death in tiny plastic form.

Also, just what is so bad about FoC Bruticus? Hasbro managed to:

-Give us a modernized 5-member Scramble City-style combiner
-Make all components deluxe sized, all with modern-level articulation
-Make all limbformers have arm and leg modes with full shoulder, elbow, and knee articulation
-Make it more poseable than 3rd party combiners from what I can tell(well more joint bending range at least)
-Have ZERO combiner kibble aside from individual weapons; everything is integrated into each robot
-Give us TWO color schemes at once: One homaging Energon Bruticus Maximus, one game-accurate colors
-Price one whole set(at least the retail one) UNDER $100

That's an amazing accomplishment given the restrictions they have to abide by to produce toys for kids. So what if it's not perfectly game-accurate? This toy can do so much more than if it was. The FoC Combaticons will be bought on sight for me and I will love it.
