Hello all, first post here on seibertron.com...

So I just finished playing through (and really enjoying) TF:War for Cybertron. I've picked up the few toys that were made for this line and think overall that they're quite good. However, that game has plenty of other characters that are great re-imaginings of the G1 characters in their cybertronian forms and I'd be thrilled if Hasbro chose to bring more of them into toy form.

So I'm curious....is there any information (rumors, hints, offhand comments by hasbro employees) about the future of this line? I know the first game sold well enough to warrant a sequel which is in development now, but it seems like the toy line for this product has been quite limited, which is a shame.

Thanks in advance.

Once the sequel hits, we will get more WFC toys, no doubt about it.

Arcee has been confirmed to be based on the Transformers Prime series and the figures won't be out for a few months.

There's still some confusion about what line the Prime toys are gonna be sold under: under its own line, or Generations.

On that note I hope for Prime toys to come out. I'm ready for more 'animated' stuffs.

The four that were released in Generations are the only WFC figures so far.

I think they said they wanted to make a few more, like Starscream (and by extension Skywarp and Thundercracker). Personally I want to see a WFC Shockwave.

Hasbro was pretty much tossing us around in regards to the release of more WFC toys. There was that glimmer of hope with GEN Starscream and Arcee, but like Lapse said earlier, those are to be Prime toys.

We will be getting more Prime toys, to answer freaky's question..

In regards to more WFC toys, I also believe that we'll be getting many more with the upcoming sequel, however I just hope it's alot more than we received. The seekers are easy money. So is Ratchet/Ironhide. As long as I see Slipstream and Meister, then I'm hella good with this line.

I'd love to see them made in their size class from the game. I'd love to get the 'cars' like Breakdown and Jazz as Scouts. Of course Bumblebee and the past few years indicates that they'll regrettably be deluxes.

I'd love to get Air Raid and Silverbolt. I'm sure a head remold for Air Raid would give us Fireflight or Skydive. Probably get the ugly Slingshot though, hate his head design and his fiction makes him a jerk.

Ironhide and Ratchet would be nice.

In the meantime I've got Megatron, Prime and Soundwave and enjoy displaying them with the Titanium Seekers, the Energon Seekers (Starscream repaints),G1 Springer, Classics Ratbat, G1 Shockwave and Sixshot, Energon Omega Supreme, Classics Jetfire, the Jumpstarters, G1 Scattershot, G1 Scorponok, G1 Sinnertwin, Cutthroat, Titanium Fallen and G1 Shrapnel, who to me never looked like an insect and was a vehicle in Diaclone.

If I recall correctly, the five announced Prime figs [Bumblebee, Arcee, Starscream, OP and Megs] will be sold under the Generations line, and all four are deluxe class. These are said to be released in August.

I remember reading something about a dedicated Prime toyline later in the year.

I don't have much useful to add here. I'd love to get more toys from the game though. Warpath, Slipstream, the seekers the list goes on.

Even though I hated the game I love the designs and more figures would be great.

Forgot about him. Then again he's basically a Bumblebee repaint with a slightly different head.

We need Shockwave and Starscream so I can re-enact the Gamestop commercial.

It's too bad these didn't go over bigger...I think I liked where these figures were going better than most everything not Classics.

Oh man, that commercial was great.
