Old school. Metal. WANT

No mention of Masterpiece Optimus, or it's price. Odd...

It's already been covered and is currently on display in their booth. Think it retails for $100, TRU exclusive, comes out between now and November.

That's a lot of repaints.

Anyone else notice the "NEW FOR BOTCON" message on some of the slides? THat would explain why I thought Botcon's presentation was kinda lackluster.

Y'know, with all these FoC characters being revealed, I can't help but feel the gaping holes in the lineup so far. Even disregarding the rest of the Dinobots and Insectocons, where's FoC Megatron? He's the head 'con, he deserves something. No Bumblebee, Hasbro? That's not like you. And worst of all, no Skywarp and Thundercracker repaints of Starscream.

Something tells me that Hasbro hasn't revealed everything. But if they have... what the FoC, Hasbro?

On a lighter note, i'm looking forward to:
-TFP Dark Energon line. Especially that electro-Knockout and Slicer-ish Wheeljack.
-[s]Asia-exclusive[/s] Generations remolds. Particularly Swerve.
-Every single FoC Generations reveal. In particular:
-DAT WRECKERS BRUTICUS RETOOL. WHIRL. ROADBUSTER WITH A PROPER HEAD. TWINTWIST & TOPSPIN. Holy tits.
-Blaster and his deployers. Awesome remold, awesome minion 2-packs.
-Grimlock. 'Nuff said.

"Bold words, Fans. But you reckoned without one thing...

...Wreckers: COMBINE!"

Well, I thought it was funny.

Anyway, really looking forward to everything. The repaints are decent, the new stuff is good. Not jazzed on the price increases, but that is something that will happen until an equally durable yet more cost-affordable substance is created.

OMG I just realised that the dark energon wheeljack is supposed to be slicer, awww yeah

[craggy]

well. Nice to see the Asian "exclusives" are coming out in the west too, means I can hold off on the buying. Probably get me all the deluxes now, if I can. (maybe not Swerve)The scouts don't look bad either.

Ruination, eh? There's something really wrong if the only colour scheme of a toy that looks right is the G2 neon version. Prior to seeing the pics I was thinking that the retools might be okay, and the characters they'd picked weren't bad choices. I have since been corrected. I do notice that Ruination has flying feet and ground vehicle arms. Wonder if Bruticus can do that or if that's one of the remolds?

FOC Blaster is really quite cool. I might even like him more than Soundwave. Dammit, I'm going to try and get all these guys now. Sort of surprised they didn't pack 1 Autobot "tape" and 1 Decepticon, in a versus pack with a "also: buy their daddies; Blaster and Soundwave!" cross-sell on the packs.
