Hopefully they're not Cyberverse or limited to Soundwave/Soundblaster minions.

Not saying I wouldn't like Cyberverses, but I wouldn't like them taking up some of that delicious number 40.

Im looking forward too these figures as well.. Iv got the WFC optimus, bumblebee, soundwave, and megatron is on the way in the mail, bought him two days ago. So i probably wont pick up the FOC optimus, from what i see in the pictures i like the WFC optimus better. I'll defiantly get Jazz too, since i don't have a figure of him yet, and this one looks to be really nice.

But im very excited about Shockwave! He's always been my favorite transformer, but iv never actually owned any of his figures.. And the FOC figure looks really really cool (IMO).. Iv already got him pre-ordered from toywiz.com.. June cant come soon enough..

I thought I heard that the minions are getting released under Cyberverse, but I could be mistaken.

Cyberverse = Legion Class = Legends Class

Actually, Cyberverse is comprised of the Legion and Commander classes, excluding PCC Commanders.

loving the special ops jazz reference
also loving shockwave in general

Legion is what they renamed the old Legends class size/price point. Commander in its current form is new, and pretty much a smaller equivalent to the old Scout class. PCC Commanders were a carryover of the old Scout class (same size), plus minicons, hence the higher price point. Same deal with Human Alliance Basics.

So technically, gothsaurus' statement was correct.

Anyway, no worries either way. It's SO confusing with them renaming the size classes every 3 months or so (ha). Takes us all a little effort to sort it out.

Damn Hasbro and their stupid naming/branding. They change things nearly every season. it is so confusing to follow any Transformers line nowadays. They must have a huge branding department.

When is the intended release date for them are they scheduled for the summer or late fall?

I can't wait for these guys to come out. the first one i'm going to get is shockwave

I listened to the WTF @ TFW botcon podcasts today at work and I'm pretty sure that some that we have seen are actually from the 2013 line.

Wave 1 (Prime, Jazz, and Shockwave) and Wave 2 (Combaticons) are 2012. The rest are 2013, I'm pretty sure.

I just noticed that BBTS's preorder page for FOC Wave 1 now says "August 2012." If that's true, then well... that's dejecting. I was getting quite eager for that Shockwave. I guess I still have Diablo 3 to look forward to this month...

I was looking at some photos and looks like FOC Shockwave will be about the same height as the Classics Seekers?

Kind of a bummer, I was hoping for the size of like a Classics Sideswipe or Classics Jazz.
