Yes! Soundwave!

I hope we get images of Generations Soundwave soon - the data discs sound like a neat update. I just hope they have a major G1 aesthetic.

Side note - someone on this thread said they're bringing back the Prime First Editions? Where did that rumor come from?

If Bruticus' arms weren't so lanky, it would've been perfect.

I really don't understand their logic

a) Bruticus - why make a character based on the game then colour him differently and make the game version exclusive??

b) Dinobots - I realise that Grimlock is popular however the fall of Cybertron design is very similar to the classics design so why make another and threaten with problems to release the other four is beyond me. Especially when figures such as Prime who already have a WFC/FOC figure are getting redone. Especially when year after year people request them.

c) No Arcee - again people request her every year - what is really the problem? She will sell!!!

Just a question for anyone that was there.... does FOC Kickback looking anything close to G1?? Or is it more like the generic FOC Insecticons that we have seen?

Dinobots doesn't surprise me, anyone else read that online article saying Hasbro had written off Dinobots from all things moving forward and they had to be thoroughly convinced by the video game creators just to put them in the game.

I love how the said if Bruticus does well they will think about a Devastator. There is no way I'm buying Bruticus. The combined form is just too hard to get past, they didn't put any time into it at all. Bruticus is not going to get the sales. Kiss Devastator goodbye....

You, like many of us, assumed they had some. Don't feel bad, we've all done it. Y U NO HAS LOGIC HASBRO?!

a) Bruticus - why make a character based on the game then colour him differently and make the game version exclusive??

Honest answer: Money. This is a cash grab, pure and simple. They're going to milk convention goers and then the public.
I give them this much credit, they're being honest about it this time.

b) Dinobots - I realise that Grimlock is popular however the fall of Cybertron design is very similar to the classics design so why make another and threaten with problems to release the other four is beyond me. Especially when figures such as Prime who already have a WFC/FOC figure are getting redone. Especially when year after year people request them.

If I remember correctly, it was said that Hasbro's more or less retired them. If that's true, then it's simply a case of they just don't care to make 'em anymore. Or as our British and Australian friends would say: "They can't be arsed to give a damn anymore."

c) No Arcee - again people request her every year - what is really the problem? She will sell!!!

It was said that Arcee is Primeverse only, this year. They have no other plans for her considering she's such a big part of Prime, now.

I hope SDCC Bruticus isn't 'too' exclusive. I really really want one.

You guys can have Cliff, I'm over trying to create his 4 minutes of being a zombie from a single episode from the beginning of a season that's now @season 2. If he were still around on the show, I might care. At this point, the only new Cliff I'm getting is Takara's purple one, and that's just because the car mode looks badass and I'm a sucker for clear purple plastic.

A lot in the lineup for Generations, and Soundwave/Soundblaster sound pretty cool. I guess there are some lines I'll be collecting yet (getting sick of Prime, as I've completely lost interest in the show after seeing season 2 up to this point, so much potential wasted with re-hashed plots/characters from other shows (Animated+Beast Wars+Movie anyone? Hire some real writers Hasbro, please, that show had SO much potential).

These are going to be a great couple years for TFs. I was starting to forget how good it feels to be excited about the hobby. I'm so glad the movie nonsense is over for a couple years.

[Traxus Prime]

out of all that I'm the most pumped for FOC/WFC Sideswipe!!! since there wasn't any pictures allowed can someone atleast describe him to me?

[Screamfleet]

Brawl in the bot shots 3 pack?

Why? He's in the ultimate pack and you can get him alone.

I hope he's colored differently from those 2 releases.
