Transformers Facebook has been updated with a dozen or so FOC Deluxe class toy images!

Can someone mirror them?

I can't because I'm at work...

There's pics of FOC Starscream, Sideswipe, Ultra Magnus, Fireflight and Kickback!

EDIT: Nevermind, I've got the time.

The Starscream figure looks pretty nice. I'm glad that people can finally shut up about getting a Classics Shockwave. Jazz and Sideswipe both have ridiculous chests, they look like Alternators and not in a good way. Fireflight is surprisingly good. Kickback looks so fugly I can't even believe it, looks like it's from Beast Machines or something. Everything else...meh. Bring on the non-FOC Generations already.

I have to admit, the Optimus model looks much better on UM.

I'm surprised Starscream is a deluxe. That's kind of a disappointment for me. I was hoping he'd be much bigger.

I really love Fireflight though! Man, that head rocks!

The others are OK, but are a pass.

Fireflight I'm not happy with at all, simply his base is Shockwave. No matter how much retooling the mold gets it'll remain Shockwave to me. Kudos for the effort however.

Ultra Magnus is so bought and since I already have (the superior) WFC Optimus Prime it'll be one of the few cases where one isn't the retool of the other.

Give us Bombshell/Hardshell and Shrapnel/Sharpshot, then we'll start talking about Kickback. Sideswipe and Starscream are no-brainers.

The official Transformers facebook page has posted official images of Generations "Fall of Cybertron" Deluxes Kickback, Starscream, Sideswipe, Ultra Magnus (Optimus Prime repaint/remold), and Fireflight (Shockwave repaint/remold). Check them out below!

I want that starscream so bad it hurts. actually sign me up for all of them.....GO HASBRO.

Kickback and Magnus are bought for my Classics shelf. They look awesome.

Sideswipe - made for Calcar repaint? I don't see other reasons why he is overcompensating so much...

by **orangeitis** » Tue May 01, 2012 2:17 pm

And here I thought I'd be disappointed by Fireflight. I was enough of an Aerialbot fan already, but now... holy tits.

Buy. On. Sight.

Kickback - Looks like a crossbreed of the Prime Insecticons and Vehicons.
Starscream - Looks alright, but I'm not big on the design anyway.
Sideswipe - Suffers from the same problem that Jazz does. No wonder, it's a retool of Jazz.
Ultra Magnus - For once a Prime repaint that isn't just white!
Fireflight - ...this had better be a joke... oh who am I kidding, I hate the Aerialbots anyway.

Also it seems they will all come with more daft mechtech/powerizer weponz... :BANG_HEAD:

as good as they look i cant justify the $15 price point, after taxes id be paying close to $17 & im not paying that for a deluxe that should be no more than $11-$12 after tax. I just hope that hasbro rolls out more coupons or stores have buy 1 get 1 50% off deals or something other wise my collection wont be growing anytime soon.

my guess is that they're accurate to the game.. in which case i'm happy with. mechtech guns were just stupid, much larger, and incredibly inaccurate.

and the prime weapons are the worst.. at least these are standard.. it doesn't look like you need to push anything to deploy the weapon.. plus, i quite like sideswipes large gun and magnus's kick ass sword.

Son of a...

Every time I think I'm done, they go and pull this. At long last, a new Kickback, and an Ultra Magnus that's not a white repaint.

And I know that Starscream is, no doubt, earmarked for a few seeker repaints but please repaint him as Blitzwing too. We need a classics Blitzwing.

Sideswipe and Starscream are very nice. (Although, Sideswipe's BFG is RE-DONK-U-LUS)
Ultra Magnus might be the only way possible that I'll buy that Prime mold. I like the coloring on it. Wow. They even gave him a new head!

Kickback and Fireflight? :SICK:

Hey guys! this also confirms that shockwave has two hands! Right?
Also, until I saw the vehicle mode, I had no clue Magnus was a repaint! That's how convincing this is! All this FOC GOODNESS!!!!

Meh, I'll wait for new Classics Generations Figures.

wow, you're paying $15 for a deluxe? from where? recently target at dotm figures for $15.. but everything else is pretty reasonable.. unless you go to toysrus.

I'm liking all of these designs. Particularly Starscream and Ultra Magnus.

Actually, Shockwave's gun was shown to be able to fit over either hand, simulating a gun hand. So you have plenty of options with him.

Who knew Hasbro still had it in them? :michaelbay:

Magnus, Screamer and Fieflight are mine. Oddly, the original Prime version of that mold looks like crap, but this Magnus is actually very appealing.

News Credits: 1 · by **Kung Fu Man** » Tue May 01, 2012 2:53 pm

Magnus is the one that honestly looks the best for me, but makes me wish it was more in the voyager size.

Come to think of it that's another thing that irks me about the botcon one...looks decent, just too bloody puny.

News Credits: 7 · by **Noideaforaname** » Tue May 01, 2012 3:05 pm

Looks like Starscream and Sideswipe's guns have rotating parts. Pretty cool, if a bit too large.

Nice to see Kickback's alt actually resembling something. Odd how the wings are more akin to a dragon's than an insect's.

That mold really works better as Ultra Magnus than it did as Optimus.

In the name of sweet baby Primus and the Auto-orphans!

Kickback looks pretty badass properly transformed. Hasbro display guys at Botcon: You need retraining.

Starscream was one I'd thought I'd have been happy to skip...but nope, looks like I'll be buying him.

Sideswipe is...a chunky monkey. Give him a squarer head though, and he'd make an okay Classics Lightspeed. (the Technobot)

Ultra Magnus redeems the crappy new Optimus Prime mold by being pants-wettingly-awesome. Not sure I'll keep the sword on him, but it is a cool weapon, and I'm bound to be able to find a nice gun somewhere if some 3rd party doesn't knock on up soon. Brilliant!

Fireflight is pretty nice too. Shockwave was sexy to begin with, but they've made this one different enough (in bot mode at least) to warrant a 2nd purchase. I'm getting a Wing Saber vibe from his chest.

That Magnus pumps me up! I thought the only reason for me to buy that Optimus mold would be for the repaint of Magnus I had planned and then they go and save me all the trouble! Hasbro seems to be on the right track as of late
