    I was in error on this. We are getting TWO sets of Insecticons - Deluxe Insecticons on one side, and the "Warbug" series on the other, which are what we are seeing here, military alt modes on their designs. Look cool and completely original, which I welcome.

    I'm ok with that. Would have been cooler if the Deluxe Insecticons were triple changers but I don't want to get greedy. Any idea what colors the Warbugs will be? Diaclone?

    Nova Lord...... BLEH!!! BTS has never made anything worth buying. I'll wait for someone better to do an Overlord that's actually worth buying.

    Fansproject Function X, YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! Headmasters!! For those worried about the designs, there's been several times before where the early concepts FP shows don't quite look like their actual product. I'm not too worried, I think these will come out AWESOME!!

    Predaking, yes please!!! But not too early please, I can only do so many of these 3P combiners in such a short time.

    I see the Insecticons being redone as Deluxe Insecticons, and as Cybertronian vehicles, but what I was hoping for was the ehobby recolors. Can we get those?

    Did they give a release date for iGear Ironhide and Ratchet? Last I heard was July 15th and "no more delays" or something like that.

    You know since last TFcon Heerotoysmaker released over a dozen new toys, and an online store, and this year they didn't even get a mention. They at least got mentioned last year.

    All I can say about f(x) is that many of you can tell it is a different designer. I will let FP reveal that info when ready but I get the feeling many of you will be excited about who it is.

    Oh, so the War Bug series is separate to the Deluxe Insecticon recolours then. Good. I love the Not Shrapnel remould, I hope they use Beast Machine Strika colours for it.

    As for the Headmasters, Why they didn't just do Skull Cruncher right off the bat is baffler, the only one I'm really interested in atm is Weird Wolf since he was my only complete Headmaster as a kid, maybe Brainstorm depending on how he turns out. I really, really, really hope though that this opens the door to them doing the Horrorcons! That would be fucking ACE!
