Gamestop seems to be the better pre-order bonus.
I wonder if best buy will be offering something up as well.

Dat Bruticus..... =P~

The G1 Prime looks nice, I never played any multiplayer in WfC but this may change all that, especially with the customisation options they keep telling us about.

Just what we needed: another tacky Bruticus repaint and even more G1.

YES YES. NEON BRUTICUS. G2 LIVES. :michaelbay:

You never did Escalation even? It's a great deal of fun, I still play it every now and then.

I heard the online co-op for campaign mode was dropped, I was hope escalation is in the sequel too. Would be really cool if g1 optimus was playable in escalation.

I hope BestBuy has a pre-order exclusive too... I'm crossing my fingers for Ultra Magnus

Well, i'm glad I pre-ordered at Gamestop now.

You know whoever got to make that G1 Prime model probably had a massive fan-gasm.

Awesome! Thanks so much for reporting this! I'm always on the lookout for the best incentive offers when buying games and movies. Please keep us posted on any other exclusive offers for FOC! ;)^

I already pre-ordered at GameStop. Good choice.

That G1 pack... I. NEED. IT. =P~

Bruticus in G2 colors looks pretty awesome too!

... Now to pre-order from GameStop.

The Combaticons are warring!
Onslaught is ROARING!
He is one metamorphin' DUDICUS!
They all combine and kick Superion's behind
As the big, bad, battlin' Bruticus!

Must Pre-order from Gamestop...Must Pre-order...Pre-order...

The G1 pack looks really sweet,the megatron gun is a really cool addition and I cant wait to shoot drones with it.

Does this mean Gamestop stores now carry the little Pre-order card??

OooooO...

Rolling around cybertron as a G1 truck would be amazing. Wonder how strafing is going to be handled though, side ways wheels would look pretty wonky.

by **CBratetron** » Wed May 30, 2012 3:02 am

I must admit, these are pretty sexy.

That tears it, I'm preordering FOC from GameStop. =P~

See, why can't they do a game based off of complete G1-iness with chassis like that?!

Bruticus... meh. I never did like G2 all that much. I have to admit, he looks cool, but not G1-Prime-in-FOC-cool.

by **Iron Prime** » Wed May 30, 2012 8:04 am

OMW to Gamestop.... :DANCE:

As for G1 Prime, unlike the ROTF game in which G1 characters were seen as other-continuity extras, this'll sure help add to the confusion of people thinking that WFC/FOC are G1 games. It's still cool, but it doesn't quite help this game's Aligned status. Still cool, though.

Though, we now need Bruticus in Battle Gaia, Bruticus Maximus, Baldigus, Ruination, Wal-Mart camo, and Universe camo color schemes. :-B

by **noctorro** » Wed May 30, 2012 9:14 am

I hope that this will be included in the inevitable downloadable content later on. Which I'll be getting. All of dem.

Now... all... we... need... is a deluxe toy version of that G1 model, then I'll be so overly happy, I'll start getting angry :evil:

, or faint I-)

If theses retailers REALLY wanted to boost preorders, they'd offer an exclusive FIGURE instead of in-game digital exclusives.

Looks like it's based on the Masterpiece MP-1 mold. It's even got the short smokestacks the Hasbro version had.

HAHA for a split second there before i read the full article, i thought they were offering a Masterpiece Optimus and nearly ran out the door to gamestop :lol:
