So, are you feeling nostalgic for recreating some action from the 2010 games, or maybe you just like the designs? Or are these a complete pass? Let us know in the Energon Pub Forums!

These look nice, and I am very glad to see the games getting some new love. I really hope this leads to FOC leader Dinobots. If it does, I'll sell my SS86 ones in a heartbeat.
As for the moderator side of things, I am going to send some messages, I am starting to think now that we have 3 SS numbering systems within the line and they will inevitably share case assortments with all 3 present, we should integrate all into 1 thread, but I will be gauging some thoughts.

The threads for each subline should be kept separate for clarity's sake.
The more is see the Optimus figure the more I like it.

I think out of all the toys that could’ve gotten those battle damage paint effects like Siege, these ones should’ve been it. Definitely going to be getting Barricade, this is my favorite version of the character.

I definitely understand having them all together, but G1-centric discussion tends to move much faster than movie-centric toy discussion over here, so I think movie discussion would get drowned out if the subline discussions were all together.

We initially split things because there was some discord between live action fans and G1 fans in the Studio Series forum and this seemed to be the solution people wanted. I think it's fair to separate conversations as many times as Hasbro restarts the count at 1.

Not only that but we deal with 3 different styles and universes. Who care about "toxic fans", the more important is to "stay on topic" and avoid any confusions.
BTW, that Optimus look much simpler than the OG deluxe but they had to make sure to give upgrade kits makers more money with those HUGE gaps in the inner thighs (and probably elsewhere too.)
As for that Bee, he looks way less pannely than the OG deluxe so he too, may be simpler to transform. I'll get both Optimus and Bee for sure.
But Barricade? Dafuk am looking at? A SHOE?

Barricade reminds me of a square bat mobile. Inset cockpit, flat nose, large rear engine and spoiler

They all look so fantastic, I'm really excited to get more WfC/FoC toys, and I'm so glad ol' Barricade here finally got a proper figure that wasn't just a Kreon or a redeco of someone else.
I hope this means we'll get a proper Sideswipe too, with a chest that actually tabs in!

Wait.............
Does this means that FOC Bruticus have a chance to be PROPERLY done? With a LEADER Onslaught and (voyager?) limbs that doesn't suck?

Soooo, how do the integrating weapons work? Based on the pics, it almost looks like you have to take the forearm off... which is odd.

I'm curious if we'll see a Fall of Cybertron repaint/ hopefully retool of Bee with a gold deco and Neutron Assault Rifle in the line sometime in the future

Seems like you plop the arm off to put the gun on, mostly to replicate the original game having the whole arm transform into the weapon. It's likely done this way instead of relying on a "glove" type accessory so that it can be used interchangeably with other WfC/FoC figures.

It'd be great if this means they're re-releasing the games. The older disc-media console versions aren't backwards compatible with current gen consoles and the digital versions (including the remasters) aren't available to purchase digitally because of a rights issue.
Would love to play them again with some modern computing power behind them.

I bet the spare arm then plug in the BOT's ASS.
Literally.
Like they did for many SS Bee figures.

I think it'll likely end up on the back, but judging by stuff like Prime's wheels and Barricade's pointy bits, it could end up storing lower!

Absolutely fantastic. 
Hopefully with Studio Series featuring the videogames, we can get characters from the Transformers movie games.
Shoot. WFC/FOC is ripe with army building.
I am excited.

So you can pop the arms off at the elbow to place the weapon there? That's such a simple and effective solution to mimic the in-game appearance!
I wonder if the guns can also be held normally for those who might not like that aesthetic?

It seems like that might not be an option judging by the squared pegs used to store the weapons, but I could be totally wrong!
