Magnus looks better... marginally. Not digging that he gets lumped with a sword.

Starscream looks the most promising, but that always comes with the caveat of being a new seeker mold. Still wish he came with null rays instead.

Sideswipe also looks better than Jazz, but again only so much given that it's the same mold. Ridiculous oversized accessories will never make up for how small these things are.

Air Raid, Firefight, I don't give a damn whoever he is, he's an Aerialbot, so no. He looks completely awful anyway.

Kickback only looks good for insecticon army building since he looks like a generic, but again I'm not a big fan of the insecticons either.

So basically all I see of any value here is Starscream and the mass quantity of repaints to follow.

ooooo nice! y'think these'll be out before Christmas?

I'm definitely getting starscream and sideswipe, both they and their weapons look kickass.
Magnus and Kickback are maybes. I'm happy to see that Magnus still has those pastel shades like on optimus; lollipop colors i call 'em I think i'm in the minority of people who actually liked his coloration. Kickback looks okay i guess, his weapon is pretty cool, but its almost the same size that he is.
Air Raid/Fireflight/Whatever the hell he is is a no. He doesn't look like air raid from the game, and i already have the shockwave mold. the only reason i might get him is to maybe pick up his crazy swords.

I like Kickback's robot mode more then I thought I would but the bug mode is unfortunately as crap as I thought it would be.

Is Ultra Magnus a straight repaint of Prime? Maybe it's just the photography but he seems to be a lot bulkier in the chest. It's probably just camera trickery though since the head doesn't seem as tiny but there's no room to make it bigger.

I wouldn't get my hopes up that these come looking as awesomely painted when they hit shelves. These look like promo shots and those always get extra paint apps.

It's a shame that Kickback is the only one with a lame weapon...IMO. :VEHI:

The only difference to the mold is the head and extra weapons.

These are definitely not Has/Tak promo shots, they aren't horribly photoshopped and mistransformed like Hasbro always does and the paint jobs are different from Takara's. Robotkingdom took these of Hasbro figures they have in-hand.

I would love to see these before Christmas because then we'd actually have a hope of seeing them in decent quantities. Alas, Wave 2 is just barely hitting up here in Canada so I doubt we'll see these soon, if at all. Although, back East they're just now getting PRiD Deluxe wave 2, so maybe there's hope.

I just noticed Air Raid's faction symbol is upside down in alt mode.

I just gotta say that Kickback is the only one I actually wish was SMALLER.

I like the FoC molds of Optimus Prime, Jazz, and Shockwave, so these retools/repaints are a welcome thing to me. Kickback looks nice and I am very much liking the modularity of some of the weapon accessories.

I really like the weapon system in this toyline. I will buy these. I feel happy. :grin:
