Back the truck up a minute. Generations: Fall of Cybertron? So that's an easy ten or so out of our promised 40? I give up.

To quote a great man...SHUT UP & TAKE MY MOnEY!

Generations Voyagers coming in the post-Xmas season!? Argh. You can never find Voyagers then. I was hoping to get Soundwave sooner.

Yeah, probably.

Yeah, I'm not liking the thick disc deal with Soundwave's troops. The circle doesn't lend itself to well shaped robots. The only one that looks decent is Ratbat. I wouldn't mind Laserbeak and Buzzsaw but I'm not buying the Soundwave mold twice to get them.

Why couldn't they do Rumble and co. as Real Gears? Booster is currently my Classics Laserbeak.

Those marketing guys at Hasbro really do suck. Ironically that's the best FoC Bruticus has ever looked. Still a 'no'!

Sideswipe does look better than Jazz, but I can't figure out why that giant weapon come side-car is necessary.

Not happy about the name swap on Autobot Shockwave. Air Raid's WFC design was probably the best flyer in the game, and now his name has been tarnished by this thing. Surely there's going to be a load of kids complaining that this isn't how Air Raid looked in the game.

Get your head-banging emoticons ready as I'm about to say I think Ultra Magnus has too much blue on him.

Starscream I think looks really good. I'm tempted to get a trio of him for Rainmaker repaints.

Kickback and Bruticus' weapon are just complete messes.

It's game-accurate. The FoC figures all come with weapons from the game.

There's no G1 version yet. Just G2, Energon, and game-accurate colors.

By G1, I meant the gold & purple Blast Off, the matte green Brawl, the gold & red Vortex, the matte gold & purple Swindle, & the grey Onslaught. Are they the game-accurate colors you're referencing?

So the SDCC is the G2 version & the Amazon exclusive the Energon version, or do I have that backwards?

One still must wonder why Starscream comes with the X12 Scrapmaker instead of Null Rays.

G1 Onslaught was teal. The retail version of him is G1-esque. Vortex was gray in G1, no G1 version of him yet. I'm willing to bet Takara will give us a gray Vortex though.

SDCC = game accurate colors (grey Onslaught and etc.)
Amazon/BBTS = G2 (yellow Onslaught and etc.)
Retail = Energon (blue Onslaught and etc.)

Sideswipe's looking pretty great. Is it me or does Ultra Magnus look a little too blue? He hardly has any white or red on him, and the colors are too dark... not quite as G1 as I would have liked, but I'll probably still pick him up.

Meanwhile I've been seeing galleries of Bruticus elsewhere, and the mold is capable of looking decent if transformed and posed correctly. As much as the neon pains me, I can settle for the retail version. Ideally, if could get the SDCC Swindle and Brawl that would be great, but it's just not in my budget.
