    Looks neat.

    Going to pass on Starscream, but I'd get a Thundercracker, Jetfire, or Triggerhappy.

    Then let me post my photos LOL

    Starscream's transformation is so G2-Smokescreen/MW-SS/Energon-SS-ish, nothing special or exciting about it.
    But the robot mode's great, straightly from the game, quite posable.

    Also, here is Kickback.
    The robot mode is gorgerous and posable
    Yet the insect mode is a pile of junk. Can't properly stand as a bug, doesn't even really look like a bug;

    worst of all, joints are ultra-limited in bug mode:
    The kicking-back-legs can't kick AT ALL, they are positioned only the way you see in the photo, can't stretch any further;
    The wings are somehow engineered to bend ONLY the way that could pop parts off... no idea what that's for......

    man SS looks good. Are those hinged hips rather than ball sockets?

    kickback looks interesting as well, though I'm not sure if I'll pick him up.

    Nothing wrong with that Tf'ation scheme. It works well.

    Liking the look of that Kickback too, very IDW Swarm-esque.

    Starscream and Kickback are just so great. Could we get a size comparison perhaps?

    It's a pretty nice looking bot... just hope he's not as puny as the other Deluxes from FoC.

    TBH... wish he were released in Voyager form. Probably would look even better, and definitely be sizable.

    Damn, Kickback pretty much sucks. Still might get him as a "Swarm" Insecticon pet for the FP Insecticons.

    There's a 3rd party version of Blowpipe due out at some point, so just needs a repaint and head swap.

    Sure buy!!! FOC figures have been fun. This looks like it will not disappoint. Either way, I want this to come in all variants of seekers :D

    Sorry to add to the pic requests, but I would very much appreciate a back shot of Starscream to see how much kibble he has of you have time! :)

    Well the Starscream is a must buy for me. Looking at Kickback i'll pick him up as well.

    The only ones i have for the FOC line is Jazz and Shockwave only cause i don't like how Optimus looks. Still might change my mind and get him anyways.

    They look promising to me. I see the use of metal pins and clear plastic - an improvement already. I have two cases pre-ordered already. I just wish it was easier to army build insecticons without using ebay etc.
