Another good idea, though to my knowledge no indication she's in FoC yet.

She's not. They said no fembots are in FOC.

They said no fembots in FoC multiplayer customization yet. I don't think they said anything about Escalation/DLCs.

What time does that start?

It was yesterday at 12:30 Pacific Time.

Well that's balls. Time stamp on my end shows he posted that on Thursday so I was eagerly waiting to see more today. Like the rest of the insecticons, dinobots, and Ironhide/Ratchet.

****, now we have to wait until wonderfest. Ha ha ha.

Q2: Which TFs did not make it into the game, and where would they want the series to head next?
A2: Arcee. Being a female character, her animation skeleton would have required twice as much animation, which was too much for their system.

Ah, that clears things up. Thanks.

But just what exactly makes females have twice as much animation? That don't make much sense.

Maybe slender (feminine) designs are more complex than blockier (masculine) designs.

Nah I played the podcast, and it cleared that up. Apparently, the bodies/skeletons are differently-shaped, so they'd have to redo everything for them.

Repaint or not, I actually want Ultra Magnus. I figure I'll display him with the prime from the last game, you know, the complicated figure that doesn't suck?

Then again, I wonder how many of these will be canceled before release?

I don't understand the appeal. The alternate modes look like a pile of parts with wheels and/or wings attached. Is it that the head sculps are similar to the original ones with the same name, and that's the appeal? To have yet another figure in different form? This is not giving collectors what they want, is it? What am I missing? I'm not trying to offend, I'm trying to understand.
