    I love the concept...could be a great version of Starscream. What base mold could they use?

    FunPub you have my attention.

    If the set does use CHUG molds I'd be more interested than if it were animated or Prime figures.

    I like this, no BW or Animated, no pain of seeing updates of characters I loved and can't afford to get.

    This is perfect for me.

    Very interesting! Love this idea for a theme and mentioned it several years ago in my Botcon feedback :D  Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

    Soundwave from Perceptor? No, Soundwave has got to be Cybertron Defense Red Alert.

    What I'm excited for is Thundercracker. Not the toy, but in the fiction. MW TC's characterization was very interesting, it's a shame nothing was done of it.

    So... um... Classics Mirage as Prowl, mayhap?

    Honestly at a loss for most of the characters, though. If Prime molds are in the mix, then I think a remolded Dreadwing would make a decent Megatron/plex. And I agree with Silverbolt as Starscream.

    Not familiar with the line, so not as excited as in recent years. Will hold my enthusiasm until more info comes out...

    I think the bot in the picture may be Beast Wars 2 Galvatron. Look at the picture of him at the top of the page here Galvatron (BWII) - Transformers Wiki Same smile, points on the head are in the right places, the golden straps holding up his chestguard make the little bumps in the picture that are by the neck and then the should pads are the rest.

    Machine Wars!!? I like machine wars toys. But their nowhere near as nostalgic fun for me as g2. Its also a really small line with very few colors and technically they already homaged machine wars Optimus Prime with the wings of honor set. But they could still do a full on machine war Emblem Deco on a modern Optimus Prime and a Black and grey Strarscream deco maybe with green weapons.

    Yeah. Their likely going to mix some previous year themes in with it to keep the colors saturated. Machine Wars Vs. Generation two would be awesome.

    Uhhh, because I said anything like that? Hence "... but I'm not shocked." I think a lot of FP's concepts are boring.
    I was hoping for Animated: Beast Wars, finally...

    Given that Botcon in the last few years and has been in unfavorable destinations compared to where I live, a series of toys I have zero interest in, and compounded with a recent purchase of a house I'm pretty satisfied with my decision to state easy pass

    Hooray! Somebody besides me and Josh remembers Machine Wars!

    I second that.

    Screw Nightscream.
