It wasn't at BotCon ... this is the first time it has been on display for the public to photograph.

Yes! Pics of Ratbat & Frenzy. They look awesome.

Ravage still looks like a coffee table.

Sure was.

Seems like Hasbro don't want a diverse amount of characters any more...

He's right this figure was shown during the presentation at BotCon and referred to as Fireflight. Guess they changed their mind.

It was in their panel if I recall correctly, but no pics allowed and no prototype or product on display.

It amazes me how crap the Jazz mold looks as Jazz yet how awesome the Jazz mold looks as Sideswipe.

Red paint changes everything I guess .

Those release dates are so odd. Three guys now, the Combaticons three months later, and a bunch more three months after that.

Also, Ratbat and Frenzy = $9.99, while Ravage and Rumble = $1.99? Huh?

So...no Breakdown on display then?

Breakdown might not even BE in FoC, let alone have a toy.

(though is Magnus or Fireflight in FoC? Hmmm)

I noticed the same thing about the release dates.

I wonder if the dates are the way they are because, dare I say, the Dinotbots will have a surprise early release or will be sprinkled throughout?

I can't see how they not do them, especially if they are doing the Insecticons, who IMO the toy designs don't even look as cool and aren't they just generic enemies in the game anyways?

I can't see how it is a good idea to wait too long to release these video game toys, they need to strike while the iron is hot in the Fall, right after the release date of the game.

1. Jesus, is Hasbro unable to transform Bruticus correctly or something? I mean, FAWK! They got Kickback (who looks more complex) right, but not him?!

2. Little sad about the name change for Air Raid, as I wanted a murderous Fireflight. still a buy, though.

3. Magnus is still awesome, especially since he also has a gun.

4. Soundblaster is definite. Cassettes-disks too, though they are a little lame.

5. Sideswipe's faces a little...chiseled, but I'm still getting him.

6. Kickback and Starscream are cool, though they're maybes for me.

Fireflight's been renamed "Air Raid"? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I liked WFC Air Raid! Why they have to go and do this, giving him the look of someone lese in toy form?!

phase wrote:1. Jesus, is Hasbro unable to transform Bruticus correctly or something? I mean, FAWK! They got Kickback (who looks more complex) right, but not him?!

Kickback isn't that detailed. The sculpt might be, but there really isn't as many moving parts on that mold as his details would suggest. Look closely and you can even figure his transformation out. =3

Though that don't excuse the excessive Bruticus mistransformations. Seems like there's more every time they display him. Sigh.

Only Kickback and Starscream managed to impress me.

Soundwave...I'm saving up for the MP version. My need for a Cybertronian version has been well sated by his WFC Generations deluxe toy.

Before I saw the alt mode, I was like "Yah Air Raid possible Superion?" After seeing the Alt mode I'm all boooo... Air Raid's head looks like it belongs to a Con.

That was after BotCon through the Transformers Facebook page. This is the first time the figure has been seen in person and the first time it's been at an event where I could photograph it for you guys.

Tomorrow is the BIG Hasbro panel. Expect more fun tomorrow. This was just the stuff that was out for preview night. Think of tomorrow like the typical Saturday of BotCon for news.

^Sounds exciting. Praying to Primus for Breakdown! What the heck, I'll pray for Arms Microns in the US too! And Dinobots! I don't feel like praying for First Edition mass-release will help anymore.

My reactions:

Sideswipe: Great, better than Jazz. Definite buy.
Air Raid: Fireraid? Airflight? Who are you??? Eh, he's decent.
Magnus: A gun! I have no gripes about him now!... Except for his hollow arms.
Kickback: Looks strange, but not bad.
Starscream: I like him. Hopefully he means Seekers!
Combaticons: NEON.
Bruticus: ... ...What the f***?!
Soundblaster: Not bad. Looks like he has an abnormally thick torso, now that I look closer.
Casse-Minic-deploy-DataDisk Minions?: What do you call these? Anyways, Rectangle > Circle. 'Nuff said.
Soundwave: See Soundblaster, except in blue.

Indeed. We're all crossing our fingers, praying, and every other irrational superstition possible in anticipation for the big stuff(Dinobots, Voyager Optimus/Megatron, more Seekers, etc)

I'm just hoping for more combiners. G1, FoC, Prime... hell, even new domestic PCCs would please me(*runs to the bomb shelter for peer backlash for that last one*)

i love them all.. they will all be mine

Let me get this straight - there are 3 color variations for FOC Bruticus, the SDCC G2 version, the Amazon exclusive G2 version, & a G1 version?

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

Joetx wrote:Let me get this straight - there are 3 color variations for FOC Bruticus, the SDCC G2 version, the Amazon exclusive G2 version, & a G1 version?

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!

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

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.

All of them look SHINY.. is this because of the materials or the lighting? My FOC figures are nowhere as SHINY..

freaky777 wrote:All of them look SHINY.. is this because of the materials or the lighting? My FOC figures are nowhere as SHINY..

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

I just noticed this. Is Blast Off resting?

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 shit 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 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.

airraid has big falceift from previous game went from jet to something into jet like perfer new look to magnus than repaint but looks good more seeker repaints would be nice

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.

To quote a great man...SHUT UP & TAKE MY MOnEY!

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

Flux Convoy wrote: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.

Yeah, probably.

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.

Sodan-1 wrote:Sideswipe does look better than Jazz, but I can't figure out why that giant weapon come side-car is necessary.

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.

well, i gotta give it to hasbro for trying. 10/10 on bruticus for all the limbs being deluxe classes. 5/10 for implementation.
