Maybe not to you. But to say that the modern FOC designs don't fit in with the equally modern design of Titan Class Metroplex is misguided, methinks.

Agreed, Megatronus. And do you know what's the best thing about Transformers, Tsutsukakushi? It's personal canon. It's what we each imagine for our own collections. It doesn't have to match the given fiction. Some prefer that, but to each his or her own.

In addition, there is no current toy of FoC Metroplex. So, for many (and I have seen the comments on this forum) Titan Metroplex is their FoC Metroplex.

Just because something doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it makes no sense to no one. I personally like these guys as a pre-earth Cybertron cast. I think they could look good with some of my Cybertron Legends seekers which have been standing in as pre-earth seekers. I also think they add to the play-ability of Titan Metroplex. Depending on price, I might jump on these.

You guys know what would be a genius idea? If they did Bumblebbe at this size. I guarantee you all that it would sell like hot cakes (ironic for a Bumblebee, though...).

I'm sure HasTak is working hard to deliver this wish. :lol:

Well, technically, there's already like thirty of them... but not one of the War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron variety.

Amazing levels of detail for such small figures. SS isn't just a straight up shrinking of the WfC mold. It's close, but there are definitely differences in detailing and transformation. I wonder if that gun would look good on the WfC/FoC mold...

by **necr0blivion** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 12:20 pm

I agree, these two look amazing. My only hope is that the figures come out at a price LOWER than SSI's $50 price point for the set of two. Fully knowing that they could recoup some costs by doing repaints of other seekers and Ratchet. If they can manage to do that, then they've got my dollars. Otherwise, it's really hard to justify when there are so many other products that are being offered and in a scale I'm already collecting.

A reasonably priced Seeker 3-Pack, please!

I will gladly buy this set if its price is comparable to what MakeToys did with their Trash Talk/Cogwheel combo pack.

And here's hoping we get more non-toy characters, like WFC Breakdown and Warpath!

Can't wait I see the final coloured images of these and massively hoping that the price point isn't too steep, I'll probably end up getting them anyway I just wish that the 3rd party market wasn't so damn expensive

Here are some of our slides from TFcon Chicago 3rd party panel.

Well color me interested now

by **alternator77** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:31 pm

If these are all legends I just might bite. But the price will be key

by **Henry921** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:04 pm

Give me a release date and price point! :BOOM:

And I wanna see more of those Combaticons! They're such adorable engines of destruction!

News Credits: 10 · by **Agamemnon** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:59 pm

Indeed, I wouldn't mind a completely Legends class WfC and FoC cast. But, it will definitely depend on price. I like what I am seeing. I do wish Hasbro had jumped on this idea...

interest level went from 68% to 13056%.

by **necr0blivion** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:17 pm

Think I'm in for a set of Seekers (duh!), and really interested in the Combaticon set. Will be keeping an eye out for updates.

Looks like they don't have ankle tilts. That makes them worse than the Seacons. Get that crap outta my sight, now if you'll excuse me I have to go off and order iGear's next set of knockoff Seekers.

Hey, what are you doing? G-Get awa-

*SMACK*

Curse, Bizarro Magnus must have gotten onto my computer again. Glad that's over.

Anyway, these look awesome. Starscream actually looks better here than as a deluxe. Count me in, funds permitting of course.

Also, I really hope those Combaticons combine...

I wasn't sure about these, when all I knew was the Seekers and Ironhide, but if we get Bruticus I'm all over them!!! Ditto Jetfire, he would be nice.

Also, I couldn't resist:

Thanks Henry! I saw these go up on BBTS a while back, but I guess no one posted the link here. They have it also for $54.99. That's a bit steep for two legends sized figures. But, still...
