Decent progress but.. as cool as Sideswipe could be I really don't see any sort of canon repaintability. An Ironhide mold would have been a better option, considering we also have the sportscars in Jazz and Bumblebee. I really feel like Hasbro is just going to deviate from the rich character list that they have with WFC/FOC and just do their standard repaint fodder material. I guess I should be happy with what we're getting but still feels like we're heading through a big detour away from the suggested destination.

You feel that Hasbro is going to do more repaints? I thought you knew what was going to be released in the future.
However, since we have Starscream I wouldn't mind repaints of him as the other Seekers. I'd especially like to see Omega Supreme and Trypticon, but Hasbro probably isn't willing to do any big figures any time soon. Why not do Ironhide and Ratchet? There's an easy repaint/retool that would be fairly popular.

If we're not getting the Dinobots, I'd say there's a good chance. Gotta balance 'bots and 'cons at the Voyager level in theory, and Soundwave and Soundblaster are already confirmed.

Especially since FOC Ratchet is Prime Ratchet after all.

That's like saying G1 cartoon Soundwave is G1 comic Soundwave.

I like them.Sideswipe front reminds of the movie Stingray they used.

Not entirely true. They belong to the same Aligned continuity, yes, but not the same timeline. That's the main problem with Aligned, even TFWiki has trouble with it.

Oh, seriously? ._.; Yikes, I can see why then.

For example, Starscreams gun looks like the X18 scrapmaker, Kickbacks looks like the Gear shredder, and Sideswipes looks like the Path Blaster.
Just a wild thought is all

I noriced that too. At first, I thought Starscream's weapon was merely two x12 Scrapmakers from WFC. Guess it could still be that in the case that the x18 is in actuality the name of a combo of two x12s. They did say weapons upgrade in FoC.

It was mentioned at Botcon that this was intentional. Giving the toys in-game weapons was a conscious effort.

Fireflight is supposed to be an homage to the G1 Aerialbot, right?

PC load letter? What the f does that mean?

Do you mean that they are from a later time? If so, wouldn't Cybertron Ratchet be Prime Ratchet eventually? I'm so confused.
