Autobots

FE Optimus Prime
FE Bumblebee
PRID Arcee

Hot Shot
Ultra Magnus
Ratchet

Decepticons
Megatron
FE Starscream
FE Cliffjumper
FE Vehicon
PRID Vehicon
Dreadwing
Airachnid
Rumble
Dead End
Knockout

I have PRID Cliffjumper if I ever want a good Cliffjumper but I like the FE better and Terrorcon is all I can get. It does expand the Decepticons so that is cool. Sucks we are never getting Breakdown. He would of been an awesome addition to the Decepticon forces. Also, awaiting to see what Hasbro does with Smokescreen.

All I need is Skyquake, Bulkhead and Kup. After that, the show is on the road for mainline guys. We will see who shows up in Beast Hunters.

There is a Breakdown - by Takara. Rather than spend money on duplicate molds (Skyquake and Dreadwing) I'd say import one of them.

As for Smokescreen - they're repainting Knockout.

Sounds like a great line up, would be great to see some photos uploaded of your display!

I am picking up the TF Prime line as I find them, just the standard stock figure, not the Arms Microns or alike.

I feel the core characters are a must, with the secondary characters filling in the gaps, but the release of the Beast Hunters story line has brought forward a whole new cast, remolds/new molds of the core characters which I am not really liking at all?

Am I right in saying the gang get 'transformed' somehow in to 'beasts' for the aid of the current storyline, which will eventually result in them reverting back to 'robots in disguise'? :???:

The name "Beast Hunters" refers to the Predacons hunting the Autobot refugees. This doesn't mean the entire core cast now has to transform into animals.

That's what Takara's doing. Hasbro has their own mold for the Cyberverse figure, so we don't know what they're going to do.

I have four shelves dedicated to TFP figures. The one above the Autobots is reserved for neutral factions (Unicron, Cylas, Thundertron, etc.) and the Jackhammer. All that's up there is the Energon Driller. Then the two in the middle are for in-show characters, and the bottom shelf is for characters that aren't.

Anyways...the Autobots

(From L-R): Ratchet, Jack Darby, PRiD Optimus Prime, PRiD Bumblebee, Rafael Jorge Gonzales Esquivel, Miko Nakadai, PRiD Arcee, Wheeljack, and PRiD Cliffjumper

The Decepticons

(From L-R): FE Starscream, Soundwave, PRiD Megatron, Knock Out, AM-12 Breakdown, Vehicon

The toy-only guys (I display Deluxe Optimus & Megatron here as well)

(From L-R): Hot Shot, Ultra Magnus, FE Deluxe Prime, FE Megatron, Zamu

Really Cool Striker. I like the layout. I like that you have a neutral faction. Neutrals are something that is missing from most Transformers fiction.

Yeah. Basically every other faction outside of 'bot and 'con, not counting subgroups like the Predacons, are going on that top shelf. If I had a few more shelves in that vertical line, I'd organize better (shelf for Star Seekers, shelf for MECH, etc.)

Like Soundwave's "Slender pose?" :lol:

And thanks. :-)

And thanks.

Soundwave is so Evaish. I like him being at the left hand of Megatron and Starscream at the right.

Breakdown looks sooooo awesome. I really do wish Hasbro would release him in a 2 pack or something. I mean 3 dollars for him + a cyberverse, commander, deluxe, anything to justify what price point they want him at. Pack him with a deluxe Bumblebee for all I care.

Beast Hunters Soundwave will have Ravage, so I gotta go get him.

I wonder if Ravage will show up in the show. Also, if we get Frenzy we will have Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak and Ravage in terms of a potential Soundwave crew (thus posed together to keep subgroups up)

Do you think that Rumble will be under Soundwave's command if he shows up?

Subgroups to me for the Decepticons
Breakdown/Knockout
Airachnid/potential Insecticon generic
Vehicon FE (leader) /Vehicon RID (grunt)
Soundwave/Laserbeak/Ravage/Rumble/Frenzy
Dreadwing/Skyquake
Am I missing anything?

We do have a Frenzy. He's in the AM line and he's in Rumble's deco. But AM Rumble is red.

Do you think that Rumble will be under Soundwave's command if he shows up?

It would be an interesting arc to see a Decepticon more loyal to a loyal servant of Megatron than the latter in Prime.

Well, you'll want the Predacons when they show up. I'd wait until S3 to sort them out, considering there are going to be toy-only Preds. We know Predaking is here, though.

My Vehicon Army will consist of the RiD Car, AM Jet, and AM General (the silver jets from S2). There's a nice trio for ya.

There are no pics of the General's toy, yet.

I'm busting to see Vehicon General as well, before I stick a preorder in.

Oh, yeah! I almost forgot!

I don't know about you, but I'll be completing my Prime Deluxe Seekers. You may want to put that in your Decepticon Sub-Groups.
