Ok, looks like I'll be saving my gift coupons a little while longer.

Shockwave looks black but obviously i'll put that down to bad lighting .

News Credits: 62 · Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:13 am

Please release in the US soon... :PRAY:

Have these been released in the US? Do we still need to wait a bit for them?

Oh, and this:

I guess it's more of resignatory shrug then. :-(

I'm still hopeful, to be honest.

A little sneaky Brit told me the first waves have been confirmed for the UK at least.

Maybe. It still does not mean anything for the mainland schmucks.

True, we may have to call upon his services.

Good news everyone!

TFSource is coming to the rescue!

Although originally scheduled and delayed to be released in August, we received an email today confirming our shipment of Transformers 2012 Generations figures would ship out late this week or early next week! Additionally we were able to increase our order, so we have reopened preorders for the popular 3 piece set of Shockwave, Prime and Jazz, as well as add more factory sealed cases to the listings. Great news if everything goes as scheduled and these figures are released in the US as early as next week instead of August!

Preorders up here:

I can see a few, but it still seems to be going faster than yet another Prime

The more I see that Shockwave, the less I think it will fit in with my 'classics' figures. :sad:

Thanks for the tf source link! It seems I have to buy all 3 to get shockwave though

C'mon HasTak, if you can make a deluxe and a voyager of the same TF here and there then damn-it give us a voyager Shockwave! :-x

Now then I know this sounds stupid but besides Shockwave's Microns for the Takara deluxe will he also have his cannon? I don't recall seeing it or making it out from all the pics posted here so far. :VEHI:

The cannon is an integral part of his alt mode, so one would assume the TakaraTomy version would still have it.

I remember someone saying they will be released at Argos, yes.

I think Shockwave is going to have to serve as classics.

It is almost a certainty they they will never do a gun Shockwave ever again if they have a problem doing it for Megs...so the question is if they would release essentially the same FOC Shockwave with a larger scale. Possible, but not probable.

Only hope is a 3rd party doing a legit G1 inspired voyager design, but its getting harder to throw $100+ for something like that these days.

To me as long as he is same height as the head of a classics Starscream/Skywarp I'm good.

Yeeees.... But it was Hasbro UK who said that and they're not exactly known for having any idea what's going on with their own products. We shall see once the new Argos catalogue hits.

All FoCs, no exception, are buy-on-sights for me.

ALL OF THEM. :michaelbay:

I'm looking forward to these toys a great deal.

News Credits: 8 · Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:57 pm

normally these would be buy on sight but im not paying $15 or more for a scout class figure. All i can do is hope that there are buy 1 get 1 50% off sales or $5 off coupons when these arrive, if they arrive.
