And you're loved for it <3


Oh, and if you happen to get kidnapped and taken to Cybertron while attending the fair, be sure to take pics of their planet too!

Whoa.


The package of FOC Prime does say Generations on it with Fall of Cybertron at the bottom.

40 new Generations? Listening to the fans? FANTASTIC! Sure, some will be repaints, but there are bound to be some goodies, too! G1 ARCEE, please!

Dat's right! Tell him 'bout the gunline boss! :lol:

Seriously though, I will not be sneaking peeks anywhere else, I want the Seibertron treatment on these galleries!

I'll be fair, Hasbro has wowed us before, but let's be honest here...

Lately, they've dropped the ball and seem unrepentant about it. I'm not saying they won't wow us when it's all said and done, but at least prepare for the possibility of getting shafted here.

It's better to go in with realistic expectations and a little bit of hope, than to get your hopes all the way up and end up being completely destroyed.

I'm biased, I don't deny it. I don't have a lot of faith in them because I know they're capable of great works, just don't follow through.

Yep, some of the other sites' pics are pretty terrible. Your photography can do justice to the new figures and show them off right!

Speaking of pics... I finally saw what was on display.

I'm incredibly disappointed.

FOC Optimus sucks.
FOC Jazz looks good in robot mode, but the vehicle mode doesn't impress me at all.
FOC Bruticus looks much better in these pics.

PRID Starscream is a joke. So glad I bought the First Edition. No way the Voyager can top him.
PRID Bulkhead is horrible. I can't even begin to explain it. Just saddening.
PRID Leaders... I knew they were unimpressive, but Optimus is terrible. Just...no.

Generations looks to be my only viable option for TFs this year. Outside of a few PRID molds such as Breakdown.

I'm angry with Hasbro. Almost enough to tell them to stick it. What's gonna be the straw that breaks the camel's back? Because this is darn close.
