    Then get a BETTER anti-virus. Like Avast or Malwarebytes or something. Not to mention if you have FIVE anti-virus programs installed on your computer running at the same time, I think that's more related to your computer speed issues than the actual facebook page, which I just went to and didn't experience any problems whatsoever. There's also no pics of the new listings, either.

    It will drop the price of the SDCC set by a bit, though, since if the TT releases are close enough to be game accurate, then all the SDCC set has going for it is the SDCC exclusivity and the nice box.

    Yellow, but it would be REALLY nice if homage was paid to the orange version by having both colors represented in the new G2 Devy, maybe just as highlights on the yellow or something?

    Huh, people were right. TT is making game-accurate Combaticons.

    Not much better than the SDCC price, but whatcha gonna do.

    Whelp, saves me the trouble hunting down the SDCC Combaticon set. Hopefully the brittleness issues will be solved with Takara's version.

    Still getting Fruiticus and Dudeicus though before the year's up, but this is insanely good news.

    I checked the Planet Iacon page on FB and saw no pictures, Are there pictures of the TT Combaticons?

    If takara's foc optimus and jazz are any indication of the metallic paints apps that will be used, they are going to look amazing! screw bruticus, they may be nice enough to just keep displayed in individual bot modes.

    Dang man, we might get a full TFP Stunticon team. Just need two more.

    TFCC, I'm looking at you.

    Hmm. I'd rather see Wildrider as another Wheeljack repaint than as a Knockout repaint. The Knockout mold is kind of awful, imo.

    Cool indeed. Looks like I'll be grabbing yet another Bruticus deco.

    I had a feeling they'd do this, though I still have no regrets getting the SDCC one.

    Also guessing that Wildrider is Wheeljack with the new head, in black.

    I'm actually excited for the FOC Combaticons. If it's anything similar to the SDCC ones I expect both a lot of rage and happiness.

    Can't wait to see their version of Bruticus. It'll probably be ridiculously expensive, but might be worth it if it looks good enough.

    Radicons has proven that Prime Wheeljack is an incredibly versatile mold and I look forward to many many re-uses of it.

    As we are slowly getting the Stunticons as Prime toys (Breakdown, Dead End, and now Wildrider) I sincerely hope that Dead End is a separate mold from Wildrider. Even though a repaint/slight retool probably makes more sense from a resource perspective, I'd still like WR to be a different mold, even if that mold is the KO mold re purposed as WR. Actually the KO mold makes great sense given how WR looked in the G1 toon, but if he's a new mold obviously I'm fine with that too.

    Frenzy as a repaint of Rumble is an obvious slam dunk (and we've already seen that head mold on Rumble's instruction sheet), but I wonder what his accessory will be? More pile drivers? I kinda hope not.

    Personally though... *hands clasped in supplicating prayer*... I'm waiting for news that Takara is doing the remaining FOC Dinobots. Heck, I'll even take Prime-itized Dinobots!

    I love me some Encore but I don't do G2 or Japanese versions, just G1 but i know they gotta milk that mold some more.

    You know, here's an interesting question re: the Bruticus - will they be homaging Onslaught's standalone colors, or will it be colored like the Bruticus torso?
