Exactly. It'd be like having G1 Toon and G1 Comic collections separate. You'd buy double the toys, with maybe...maybe, one or two where repaints allowed you to differentiate.

Actually, I kinda do that but not quite. I don't doible up normally but I separate into cartoon and other. I've got Autobots, Decepticons, Season 2 Bots & Cons, Movie, Autobot Beyond, and Decepticon Beyond. The last two have your Nightbeats, Hot Shots, and Star Sabres and your Deathsaurus, Straxus, Acidstorms, Lugnuts.

I separate kinda like that myself. I have season 1, season 2, TF:TM, and then it gets tricky with Season 3 and "expanded universe", my version of the Wreckers, etc. But I've been finding that I'm needing to separate some according to past and future now with the G2 guys and some of the WFC type toys.

*edit*
oh, and one Shockwave.

I'll move Energon Shockblast to the Decepticon Hall of Fame shelf.

I am planning to get a second bookcase and having one be Autobots and Decepticons with some back and forth (like my the Movie figures staying where they are and doing G2 as their opposite) but right now the Cons aren't really justifying it. Still, it'll be nice to have Beast Wars and Animated on display again. Now that's something I could get behind. If Hasbro wants all the figures under one umbrella, that means they'd be able to slide in a Classics Waspinator or Blackarachnia or an Animated figure or two.
I'm holding judgement on a WFC/FOC shelf until I see Grimlock and they get to some Seekers. Bruticus alone will go a long way but Shockwave will have a home somewhere.

I just realized something. 1 Optimus, 1 Jazz, 1 Shockwave, and 5 Combaticons is all 8 figures for the series. Does that mean Grimlock is dropped? Sorry if this was covered elsewhere.

If I'm right the Combaticons haven't been officially announced. There is the possibility they'll be in a giftset of some kind. Even if they, Shockers, Jazz and the WFC Prime repack (oh, okay, maybe they made a new mold) are the 8 that have been announced so far, I'd say there is a chance we might see more.

+1 that doesn't understand why you'd need one for both WFC and FOC... That's like needing like 6 voyager Optimus Primes...one for Classics, another for Universe 2.0, another for Generations, another for RTS, and then a couple Henkeis for that and United.

What I don't understand is wasn't it said there would be 8 Generations figs, 4 of which would be FOC? So who knows what we're actually getting...

I rarely, if ever got more than 1 of the same toy.

nobody knows the troubl...I mean, nobody knows yet. At least no-one who is telling. We'll see in time.

Only getting 1. My Transformers are only seperated by faction. I have my Decepticon shelves and my Autobot shelves. I don't break it down by toy line so therefore have no need for mutliples of the same figure.

Why I won't get 3 FOC Shockwaves:

One is enough, and with a limited budget I'd rather use the money to buy two different figures.

Is anyone going to put him in their Prime collection? I'm not (CHUG all the way), but isn't the official concensus is that Prime and WFC/FOC are the same continuity?
