Those release dates are so odd. Three guys now, the Combaticons three months later, and a bunch more three months after that.

Also, Ratbat and Frenzy = $9.99, while Ravage and Rumble = $1.99? Huh?

So...no Breakdown on display then?

Breakdown might not even BE in FoC, let alone have a toy.

(though is Magnus or Fireflight in FoC? Hmmm)

I noticed the same thing about the release dates.

I wonder if the dates are the way they are because, dare I say, the Dinotbots will have a surprise early release or will be sprinkled throughout?

I can't see how they not do them, especially if they are doing the Insecticons, who IMO the toy designs don't even look as cool and aren't they just generic enemies in the game anyways?

I can't see how it is a good idea to wait too long to release these video game toys, they need to strike while the iron is hot in the Fall, right after the release date of the game.

1. Jesus, is Hasbro unable to transform Bruticus correctly or something? I mean, FAWK! They got Kickback (who looks more complex) right, but not him?!

2. Little sad about the name change for Air Raid, as I wanted a murderous Fireflight. still a buy, though.

3. Magnus is still awesome, especially since he also has a gun.

4. Soundblaster is definite. Cassettes-disks too, though they are a little lame.

5. Sideswipe's faces a little...chiseled, but I'm still getting him.

6. Kickback and Starscream are cool, though they're maybes for me.

Kickback isn't that detailed. The sculpt might be, but there really isn't as many moving parts on that mold as his details would suggest. Look closely and you can even figure his transformation out. =3

Though that don't excuse the excessive Bruticus mistransformations. Seems like there's more every time they display him. Sigh.

Only Kickback and Starscream managed to impress me.

Soundwave...I'm saving up for the MP version. My need for a Cybertronian version has been well sated by his WFC Generations deluxe toy.

Before I saw the alt mode, I was like "Yah Air Raid possible Superion?" After seeing the Alt mode I'm all boooo... Air Raid's head looks like it belongs to a Con.

Ravage still looks like a coffee table.

Sure was.

Seems like Hasbro don't want a diverse amount of characters any more...

It wasn't on display at Botcon. Promise!

Well no, but...

That was after BotCon through the Transformers Facebook page. This is the first time the figure has been seen in person and the first time it's been at an event where I could photograph it for you guys.
