Those look amazing! I just finished rewatching Beast Wars so I totally want that Kickback. Air Raid, Sideswipe, and Starscream all look amazing!

There's no G1 version yet. Just G2, Energon, and game-accurate colors.

Soundwave & Soundblaster look great, really hope they're voyager size and not mega. One thing i dont get though is why is it that ratbat & frenzy are one price & rumble & ravage are another when they're all legends? In the end it works out pretty well but its just odd seeing legends priced at $1.99, im guessing its a missprint. But on another note anyone else notice that frenzy is red & rumble is blue, this what the 3rd iteration with this labeling so i think its safe to say its finally official.

Sideswipe (and sidecar!!) looks great! Is that the same mold as Jazz? He looks a hundred times better than the Jazz deco in my opinion.

After the recently posted size comparison of WfC OP Prime and FoC Op Prime, this mold brother of Magnus will look sooo wrong on display with Wfc Prime. Hes just too small. Way too small!
On the fence with this one...

Starscream again looks a little small, no actually, a little stumpy! Hes a maybe/defo! ;) I do like his deco though!

I like the look of that Swindle. He may even fit in as a Neo-Classics display...? :-? Nice!

:lol: Bruticus looks like the b'stard offspring of a Power Core Combiner and Derpy Hooves!! :lol:

Have to agree with you on that. But I need a couple of Autobots for the display, can't just have a gigantic Bumblebee and an ok OP. Magnus should be able to fit in somehow.

Not really interested in the others..

He's coming home to me. Only Decepticon I'm interested in, apart from Shockwave.

They look like custom-painted samples to me, not the mass-produced retail versions.

Blast Off blasted off and had a crash landing, because glass is harder than plastic. Who knew?

Wow, the people who set this display up have done a poor job. Blast Off is laying down, STarscream's right leg is pointing inwards, Ultra Magnus has pidgeon toes and there are other odd things going on as well.

Bruticus doesn't look as **** in these pictures so I was right about the other image being a mis-transformation but what's going on with the surface quality of these figures? They all look like they've been painted with a thick paint.

You forgot to mention that Bruticus has Onslaught's head instead of the combined-mode one!

But I agree, he's not too bad. Still unsure aobut getting the figures though..

I didn't forget - I didn't spot that one! I was too busy trying to see what was wrong with his right arm.

I am excited about these figures. I agree they are a bit rough, but as another member said these are hand painted proto display pieces. The production stuff should be cleaner and not shiny.

My real question is that they are all Deluxes, except for Soundblaster, and Soundwave. Please give us Dinobots, Seekers, and Meg's and Ops as Voyagers Hasbro. My little deluxe dwarf FOC Ops looks funny next to WFC Ops.

Oh, and please tell me they will announce some DinoBots later in the show....AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Now as far as these dates are concerned, I figure they are a bit extended, since wave 1 already hit, and in these photos wave 1 figures say August 12. So I figure the others that say Jan 13, will probably be out in Dec 12.

WHY! does he have two different hands :BANG_HEAD: seriously why do such a stupid thing like that ?

Just noticed his arm holding the gun is taller than his body just looks wrong .

Anyway i must have five combaticons i don't need bruticus i have the FP version for the combiner i just want the individual figures.

Ya know some are complaining about the size of optimus i'd have a bigger concern with magnus if i wanted to care about scale.

I think all these are gonna be bought.

Back the truck up a minute. Generations: Fall of Cybertron? So that's an easy ten or so out of our promised 40? I give up.

Generations Voyagers coming in the post-Xmas season!? Argh. You can never find Voyagers then. I was hoping to get Soundwave sooner.

Yeah, I'm not liking the thick disc deal with Soundwave's troops. The circle doesn't lend itself to well shaped robots. The only one that looks decent is Ratbat. I wouldn't mind Laserbeak and Buzzsaw but I'm not buying the Soundwave mold twice to get them.

Why couldn't they do Rumble and co. as Real Gears? Booster is currently my Classics Laserbeak.

Those marketing guys at Hasbro really do suck. Ironically that's the best FoC Bruticus has ever looked. Still a 'no'!

Sideswipe does look better than Jazz, but I can't figure out why that giant weapon come side-car is necessary.

Not happy about the name swap on Autobot Shockwave. Air Raid's WFC design was probably the best flyer in the game, and now his name has been tarnished by this thing. Surely there's going to be a load of kids complaining that this isn't how Air Raid looked in the game.

Get your head-banging emoticons ready as I'm about to say I think Ultra Magnus has too much blue on him.

Starscream I think looks really good. I'm tempted to get a trio of him for Rainmaker repaints.

Kickback and Bruticus' weapon are just complete messes.

It's game-accurate. The FoC figures all come with weapons from the game.

There's no G1 version yet. Just G2, Energon, and game-accurate colors.


By G1, I meant the gold & purple Blast Off, the matte green Brawl, the gold & red Vortex, the matte gold & purple Swindle, & the grey Onslaught. Are they the game-accurate colors you're referencing?

So the SDCC is the G2 version & the Amazon exclusive the Energon version, or do I have that backwards?

One still must wonder why Starscream comes with the X12 Scrapmaker instead of Null Rays. :-(

G1 Onslaught was teal. The retail version of him is G1-esque. Vortex was gray in G1, no G1 version of him yet. I'm willing to bet Takara will give us a gray Vortex though.

SDCC = game accurate colors (grey Onslaught and etc.)
Amazon/BBTS = G2 (yellow Onslaught and etc.)
Retail = Energon (blue Onslaught and etc.)

Sideswipe's looking pretty great. Is it me or does Ultra Magnus look a little too blue? He hardly has any white or red on him, and the colors are too dark... not quite as G1 as I would have liked, but I'll probably still pick him up.

Meanwhile I've been seeing galleries of Bruticus elsewhere, and the mold is capable of looking decent if transformed and posed correctly. As much as the neon pains me, I can settle for the retail version. Ideally, if could get the SDCC Swindle and Brawl that would be great, but it's just not in my budget.
