Hey all.
I Just picked up FOC kick back and He looks great. Id have preferred him to look a bit more G1 or at least had more G1 color (like the takara one does) but He still looks amazing.
So I was wondering if we have word on weather or not we will be seeing the other two insecticons?
I remember reading that they had like 38 new molds,(or maybe it was 38 new figures) scheduled for release this year and was wondering if they had already let us know what they would be?
I sure hope to see bomb shell and shrapnel. I plan on painting them with the G1 yellow.
Also, incase anyone missed this, You can attach kick backs lil swords to his long bug arms on him back in bot mode and move them over his head to make it look like he has wing thingies like the original character did in the toons and toys. It makes him look a bit more G-1ish if thats the look your after.

Take care!

We don't know of any more Insecticons for the FoC line I'm afraid. However we are getting Hardshell (Bombshell) in Prime, as a Commander-sized figure.

Thats unfortunate. Did the FOC game introduce all three insecticons or were they all just generic bots? I cant recall. The only places I remember them were in the level with jazz and cliff and then kick back as a boss.
Were there any bots that resembled shrapnel and bombshell?

The game did have all 3 Insecticons we know and love: Kickback, Sharpshot and Hardshell.

They seem to be wrapping up on FoC-style toys, so it doesn't look too good for Hardshell and Sharpshot. On the other hand I don't see G1-friendly redesigns coming any time soon, so if those two get Classics/Generations-style toys down the line they'll probably be based off the FoC designs.

All well. Looks like fans project is getting 200 more dollars for their "not" insecticons. Those really are fantastic renditions of the figures. Does anyone have comparison shots of them next to a delux figure?
I saw several reviews for those toys and allot of people do not like the kick back figure. I think he looks fantastic!
All three are bang up I.M.O.
Still, Had hasbro made the other two insecticons Id have bought them and left the fans project insecticons alone.
I wish they wouldnt do that kinda stuff. Make one or two of a group that has four or five members ya know?
All well. Theyve done good by us for the most part with thw foc line so I guess I cant complain too much.

Seriously? I thought everyone said that was the best of the three.

The only comparison shot I have is:

Thanks for the pic bro. Perfect. They seem to fit in great with mirage,so They will look great with the other deluxes.
Yeah. I saw four reviews where people said kickback was the worst and one even said that he didnt recommend getting him at all unless you were a completest.
All said he was the hardest to transform.
Alternately, I saw a few that said he was not only their favorite, but that he was easiest to transform.LOL!! I guess its all a matter of opinion hu?
I saw footage of all three transformations and kick back looked to be easiest to me. I also think he is the coolest looking, but all are amazing.
The transformations are very clever no?
I am always amazed at the engineering of the transformations on some of these guys.
I notice your classics voyager megs back there with his wings on. You know you can push the pin holding them on out so that he stands without them right?
I did it with mine and he looks wonderful! Best part is you can put them back on any time you want so it dosent hurt the figure.
