So when do the Fall of Cybertron figures hit the stores? Anyone know?

Fri Jun 22, 2012 1:26 am

no new figures are hitting shelves until all these damn bumblebees are gone. but i heard fall. i could be wrong because of how unreliable my memory is.

That's bad news cause I don't think all those damn Bumblebees will be gone till hell freezes over. How is it that Hasbro can waste so much money on producing all those damn things instead of being a little more balanced in what they put out? Like a few more Vehicons per box?

My order at BBTS for the first wave says August.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Jun 24, 2012 9:52 pm

Based on marketing trends, and since the Game itself is out August 28th. The first wave should start hitting stores around the same time.

The trouble is that stores order more of 1st waves of any toy line, and much less of the consecutive waves. so we may end up with a crap load of Ops and Jazz hangin around stalling the next wave with Bruticus.

I am excited about this FOC line though.

Totally getting shockwave.

As long as he is as tall as the classics seekers he is my classics Shockwave.

From the looks of them these figures are going to be killer! I'm keeping my finger crossed for some Dinobots.

He is, he's the same height as WfC Megs. The rest of the line is awfully short though. :/

Only figures I want from this line are all 5 Dinobots, all 3 Insecticons and Shockwave.

Sadly 5/8 of these figures still only exist in my dreams and possibly in Hasbro's design books.

I have my eye on Shockwave and Ultra Magnus, personally.

At least one of them is in wave 1, so it should be easy enough to get!

those are the two that I really want as well. Be nice to get some of the others too, but thats a great Magnus, and the first Shockwave since G1 that looks the part.

Same here...but at one of the last US cons, didn't Hasbro say that July was going to be a "Dino" month, hinting some news about the Dinobots was going to be released. I'd like to think that they are releasing prototype images...I mean, we've already seen the sketches of the ingame characters and Grimlocks screenshots and game play....what other "news" would they build up anticipation for?

God knows I'd LOVE to have all five of them if they release them!I'd give them a detolf shelf of their own if they were done well.

No point in saying who i want i'll have them all by the end of it with prime not my thing i'm ready to jump straight in with this line it feels like a very long time since wfc and generations were on the shelves in the uk.

I think you're confusing it with IDW's Dinobot month. When fans demanded all 5 Dinobots at BotCon's Hasbro Panel, it was met with one of Aron Archer's frown and shrug gestures.

I'm still optimistic for good news at SDCC.

The Dinobots would have to be all Voyagers or the larger Classics deluxe size (not the smaller WFC and FOC deluxe size)....otherwise I am not interested.

I can see Grimlock being a voyager, but the rest will be deluxes, and they'll be small like the rest of the line. :\

I can't see any of them being deluxe. Especially not Sludge or Snarl. Though wishful thinking is making me look forward to all of them being Voyager.

I mean there's already 2 'cons in the Voyager lineup, and there's usually more 'bots, so... :KREMZEEK:

So do we actually know for definite that were getting all the dinobots ? if we did and grimlock was the only voyager i'd be fine with the rest being deluxe im sure they would make a nice display

voyager would be the way to go but would they give us such a treat ? and was there a reason behind soundwave going up a class ?.

We don't know anything about toys of the FoC Dinobots yet. Even if they'll exist or not. We're just speculating till we hear something from Hasbro.

I think they'd be screwing up big-time if they didn't put out some kick-ass looking Dinobots. They'd sell like crazy.

I know right? Kids love Dinosaurs, kids love Giant robots, thus kids must love Giant Robot Dinosaurs.

I swear if we don't see all 5 Dinobots in the next year or so, someone's going to get a hurt real bad.

This is very similar to what Matt Tieger stresses every time he talks about the Dinobots in the interviews. Giant firebreathing alien robot dinosaurs are just frikkin' cool.

Never mind i thought i'd missed out on something . it will be a shame if we don't hasbro needs a :HEADHURTS:

if they thinks kids are gonna play the game and and not go a little 8-}

for those dinonots.

After the result of this character battle MTV is running, surely Hasbro will realize exactly how popular Grimlock is at least!

News Credits: 2 · Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:03 pm

Lets say rumor surfaced that HasTak decided to release only 2 Dinobots, one most likely the favorite Grimlock. Which 2 would you like to see released? I'm sorta stuck between Swoop and Slag being paired up with Grimlock but definitely want to see several if not all Dinobots. :VEHI:
