Need to see the anterior and underside of Dreadwing's alt mode before I decide on him. If the exposed bot parts aren't too noticeable, then he's a definite buy.

We're getting both. If you look at the SDCC gallery that I took, Dreadwing is on display.

Oh.

Thank you for the heads up.

Well, at least that's some good news.

Gr-gr-gr-grimlock lo-lo-looks... AWESOME!

I love that there finally will be a new Top Spin and Twin Twist. But honestly Hasbro, was it that hard to tell them apart?

Top Spin in Twin Twist's colours and vice versa...
Or did they swap the heads?
Or the weapons?
Or did they throw everything into a blender?

GAH.

Wow, pre-earth record players.

Makes the 80's look hi-tech.

Ultra Magnus had better hope he doesn't need to climb any stairs.

With thighs that short he'd better use the lift.

His legs do almost go up to his waist, don't they?
He's definitely not a Brit, or his thighs would be more developed due to Health and Safety heavy lifting regulations..

Still, he's a maybe. First in line is Thundertron, followed by Skyquing/Dreadwake.

Ugh, that always kills a mold for me.

Not that it stops me from buying it. :lol:

If he was British you wouldn't see the thighs because of the beer gut.

..so that explains FoC Optimus Prime.

Man, those ARE short thighs. Strangely, it doesn't really make the figure look bad or too disproportionate. If he makes it into the show, I'll buy the fig.

By not using the old mold for TC, they lost my interest. The trio must look the same. And WTF is up with those orange spots on his shoulders and stupid tailfin graphics ???

I do like the G2 Bruticus though. Lets hope Fansproject does an upgrade so the combiner mode gets some display time on my shelf.

for repaints, this is a pretty cool direction to take them in
looking forward to seeing this develop

News Credits: 9 · by **triKlops** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 10:05 am

GLock was a definite buy but the Blaster and minions looks pretty awesome as well
have to add them to the buy list now

News Credits: 9 · by **triKlops** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 10:09 am

Screamer's launcher setup has an intriguing aesthetic to it
might skip the IHide launcher and grab this instead
AND that ShWave looks really awesome

I don't think most people realized the best part.

They have FoC bodies.

In the FoC game's multiplayer mode, you can customize your own TFs, exchanging heads, painting them whatever, etc.

Essentially, you can play as The Wreckers in Fall of Cybertron!

Oh, I realised that, but if I do make them in FOC, I'll do it in the right colours.

Why does Predaking Predicus have no face?

Was the photo taken close to Ultimate Optimus Prime?

He's never really had a face just a black visor and lips , God knows what happened to the kre-o.

Whats going on with the felt on Razorclaw?

Proto works in progress. These photos were rushed to give us access to them. The final product will be fully plasticized.

Ok, now that Superion looks sex.
Just get the last one, "Quickslinger" and attatch him someplace, same goes for blastoff, I'm sure you can use your imagination to make full combiners. As for devastator, you may need to get two extras and create the 6th one all by yourself. But really, I can see myself buying these and all the little extras to make full combiners.

I could see Hasbro including a special set of instructions with the fifth members for a full 5-man combiner team. It'd be a nice touch.

Sticker-(and, in at least one case, marker)-faces galore!

Want those Kreo-combiners and their respective fifth men. Would like a few more non-G1 characters.

by **Downbeat** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 12:27 pm

There isn't a single Kreon there that I would be unhappy with. I'm hoping really hard that Hasbro remakes earlier Kreons in this style and blindpacks them too, because holy cow.
