Not that it matters, since I want these guys I'm sure none of the stores will have them. BUMBLEBEE REPAINTS FOREVER!

All musts except Air Raid, he was the troll character in Broken Hope (Escalation map, he could solo for hours and other players would be annoyed like hell).

As it is, I'd definitely have preferred a small, G1 style silver weapon for Kickback, and null-rays instead of Mech-tech weapons for Starscream, etc. The gimmicks are keeping us from getting the desired accessories.
Mind you... exception for Sideswipe's blaster, which is from the game, right? That kind of nod is really cool.

Okay, a few stumbles there, but all improvements over the wave 1 versions of the remolded guys, and the new ones look good. I don't really like the Insecticon as one of the classic 3, but he's nice (Repugnus repaint pls?) and I absolutely love all the weapons. Magnus Sword and gun combo is BA!
Posted by RAcast on November 15th, 2012 @ 11:32am CST
Fireflight and the Insecticon both look great as well, but I don't have any interest in them.

Sideswipe has the pistol Optimus has on the cover of the game and it's the weapon of the Scout class in multiplayer.
Kickback has the Shredder, a weapon for flyers in Multiplayer. Kind of overpowered ingame.
I love these 3 weapons

It appears so. Finally! Maybe Hasbro is listening.

I doubt it would fit on the Voyager, FoC Prime's head is TINY. And you're probably right about the availability. :p
These do all look pretty amazing. Magnus is a bit too blue but the sweet combinable weapons look amazing. All the weapons look pretty amazing, especially that BFG. Sideswipe's bot mode still isn't great but the colors are definitely an improvement over Jazz. Starscream looks good but his arms don't look too secure in bot mode, much like Cybertron Thundercracker. Fireflight (Air Raid? Whatever...) looks surprisingly good. I might repurpose his small sword for someone else, but we'll see. I'm really liking these armaments!
Now, to figure out which ones will be shortpacked... Probably Starscream, since everyone will want him.
Posted by gothsaurus on November 15th, 2012 @ 12:22pm CST
Or if there is a troop builder figure, they just automatically default to that? Vehicon, I'm looking at you. From that standpoint, it would be Kickback short packed, since we'll all want an army of insects. Heh.
I DO hope to high heaven they have two more insects coming for Shrapnel and Bombshell. (Or Snarf-shot and Hardshell... or whatever their new names are.

Starscream looks the most promising, but that always comes with the caveat of being a new seeker mold. Still wish he came with null rays instead.
Sideswipe also looks better than Jazz, but again only so much given that it's the same mold. Ridiculous oversized accessories will never make up for how small these things are.
Air Raid, Firefight, I don't give a damn whoever he is, he's an Aerialbot, so no. He looks completely awful anyway.
Kickback only looks good for insecticon army building since he looks like a generic, but again I'm not a big fan of the insecticons either.
So basically all I see of any value here is Starscream and the mass quantity of repaints to follow.

I'm definitely getting starscream and sideswipe, both they and their weapons look kickass.
Magnus and Kickback are maybes. I'm happy to see that Magnus still has those pastel shades like on optimus; lollipop colors i call 'em I think i'm in the minority of people who actually liked his coloration. Kickback looks okay i guess, his weapon is pretty cool, but its almost the same size that he is.
Air Raid/Fireflight/Whatever the hell he is is a no. He doesn't look like air raid from the game, and i already have the shockwave mold. the only reason i might get him is to maybe pick up his crazy swords.

Is Ultra Magnus a straight repaint of Prime? Maybe it's just the photography but he seems to be a lot bulkier in the chest. It's probably just camera trickery though since the head doesn't seem as tiny but there's no room to make it bigger.
I wouldn't get my hopes up that these come looking as awesomely painted when they hit shelves. These look like promo shots and those always get extra paint apps.

The only difference to the mold is the head and extra weapons.

These are definitely not Has/Tak promo shots, they aren't horribly photoshopped and mistransformed like Hasbro always does and the paint jobs are different from Takara's. Robotkingdom took these of Hasbro figures they have in-hand.
I would love to see these before Christmas because then we'd actually have a hope of seeing them in decent quantities. Alas, Wave 2 is just barely hitting up here in Canada so I doubt we'll see these soon, if at all. Although, back East they're just now getting PRiD Deluxe wave 2, so maybe there's hope.

What? You wish the others also had lame weapons?
I predict a run of Shrapnels that can't hold up their own weapons.

Sideswipe was in both games' story modes. Playable in WFC, non-playable in FOC (he piloted the ship that dropped off and picked up Jazz and Cliffjumper).FellintoOblivion wrote:Since we're getting Sideswipe who wasn't (as far as I can recall) in the game any chance we'll get a Sunstreaker repaint?
