So I take it there is still no word on FoC dinobots?

Not yet.

i was going to try to hold off on some of these FoC toys but looks like i am getting brought back into grabbing these
very interesting aesthetic combination with the cassettes

If they can make Soundwave's minions into random disks, why couldn't they just keep them as cassette shaped things. It's not like their alternate mode means anything here.

I think the minions have a spring-loaded self transforming thing that triggers when you eject them from his chest. I assume its easier to make that work with disks than cassettes.

This would almost qualify as an apology for the upcoming release of...well, a lot of figures actually. I plan on getting both even though I could care less about Soundblaster but if that's the only way to get Buzzsaw then I'll gladly do it. My youngest son has the deluxe WfC version and I've been kicking myself for not having snagged one. Looks like now I can rectify that and considering how much Hasbro is screwing us over with the downsizing of the figures and the up-sizing of the price tags I'll be able to get a pair of sweet looking "original Deluxe" size figures and it will only cost me $50.00

ah, you must be new. Welcome to the 21st Century. Here, we store our digital media on CDs and DVDs...

Now, what I want to know is why they couldn't design the little giuys to turn into SD cards... Funny how we get an updated Soundwave and his minions are still a decade out of modern technology.

I'm glad to see Soundblaster. I seem to be the only whack here who like Prime Soundwave. The idea of an intellegence officer and spy turning into a spy plane with conspiracy theories tied to it is just too perfect for me. Add in Generations R&F as tanks, who are nowadays usually guided by intell from Predator spy planes, and Soundwave is in a wonderful position. I may get Soundblaster though, and I like the minioncons, though whether they trump Galaxy Force Blaster (also a plane) I haven;t decided...

You have to take into account the younger fans who have never seen an audio cassette before whereas everyone knows what a CD/DVD/Game disc is. Also the minions strongly resemble thicker versions of the Data Disks that were on Cybertron as mentioned in the Beast Wars series so that may also be one connection that the designers were trying to utilize.

They both look good. I never got that deluxe, so these are still interesting to me. Soundblaster looks best.

I liked Laserbeak and Buzzsaw but I think these are spring loaded transformations. I don't want Bakuformers (Bakugan + Transformers = Bakuformers).

I don't see the springs in the pictures.

Wasn't sure on getting them. But I definitely will get Soundblaster. Not sure about Soundwave, need size compare.
And I already have deluxe Soundwave.

My gawd, they are releasing awesome FOC characters. It took me a while to think up one character that I'd like in toy form (Starscream and Jazz were my first choice). But I'd love to see an Arcee and Slipstream, one can never have to many fembots.

Cometh, release of awesome FOC figures, cometh!
