War for Cybertron / Fall of Cybertron figures are just Cybertronian modes to me, so yeah, there are still Classics to me.
It is like saying it is just good enough. Keep saying that to yourselves. You know I am right. A proper Ultra Magnus , Arcee , Springer ETC. are owed to us considering they released every other figure in the G1 universe. I guess my 3rd party versions are just going to have to fill the gap for LIFE!
I've not been satisfied with much of the new stuff due to the downsizing and quality issues and have no plans to collect the FOC line partly because of that..... But if they ever release the More Than Meets the Eye ongoing characters? They would be SO BOUGHT. Even being smaller and looking cheaper. I want a "Lost Light" crew display enough that I'll bite on them.
I don't hate these new figures, but I admit I'm a little disappointed by the preponderance of WFC/FOC stuff. The High Moon designs are by far my least favorite aesthetic style ever for Transformers (though the Dinobots do looks promising). But I guess they are dominating the Generations line this year. Bummer... I was hoping for at least a Trailbreaker.
It would be a little disheartening if they stopped doing classics but if I had to pick between getting G1 toys and new Fall of Cybetron toys, FOC wins by a landslide.
They quite blatantly say FOC is just to start out with, even saying IDW versions are being considered.
I really like the Fall of Cybertron look and they will go well with all the War for Cybertron stuff I already own. But yea a part of me was really let down because I'd kind of gotten my hopes up that we'd see some cool Classics stuff now that we have a break from the movies. I don't know it just kind of felt like teasers this time instead of a grand reveal of things that are going to part me from my money.
Very Disappointed the only think I'm interested right now is Shockwave. Maybe Dinobots and Starscream and the seekers. I'm loosing interest in my WFC Figures now and will probaly just keep the ones to fill the void. So much for cutting back on third party items.
Yes, because I can look at the WFC/FoC toys and think, "These are Cybertronian modes for G1 characters. Cybertronian modes they had at some point during the 11 million years prior to MTMtE." Whereas most of Classics doesn't look like jack shit. Most are vague homages at best.
I hope they will release the rest of the Insecticons quickly after Kickback. I miss the crome on the original Insecticons.
Hahaha, they are OWED to us? Seriously? What's next to go with your sense of entitlement, they give it to us free? And every other figure in the G1 universe is done? Really? Where's my Omega Supreme? Fort Max, Scorponok? Chromedome and any Headmaster, Targetmaster, Pretender or original Action Master? I suppose you got those super rare Metroplex and Trypticon toys that aren't even on the drawing board yet. TRAILBREAKER?! (Legends 'cutter doesn't cut it) or Blitzwing? Autobot Triplechangers at all? You got a Sky Lynx from Hasbro the rest of us don't know about?
I have to agree. The different Transformers series over the years have said that before coming to Earth the Transformers had an alt mode on their own planet. Now it's true that War for Cybertron Soundwave doesn't turn into a street light like in G1 and Bumblebee doesn't look like the weird hybrid of sting ray and automobile. But when the robot modes have that much G1 in their design then I'll gladly say the game look is how the G1 characters looked on Cybertron. Heck for some of the G1 characters this will be the first time seeing a Cybertronian alt mode for them. So how can people argue it's not G1 if we don't know what the G1 alt mode would have looked like?
Why are the Geewunners complaining over the lack of G1 figures for Generations? Last Generations line was freakin' G1 2.0. I want Gen. Beast Wars dammit.
lol my god what a bunch of wingers lets be honest g1 is nearly 30 years old and there giveing us new alt modes that arent just the same boaring old cars i tell you this now im greatfull soundwave voyager nice im looking forward to this he will be my soundwave in my classics set as wfc is to short his alt mode pure win as a tap casset player for one of the most feard deseptecons is just stupid i thought it was when i was a kid and i do now the insectecon man i love that design g1 insectecons where always cybertronin and i tell you now i love the new design so much more but im still going to hold onto my g1s they have a place in my hart the casset bots being done as discs this is a no brainer as for bruticus i wish they would switch the exlcusive and the retail around as g2 seems more fiting for an exclusive but i i love g2 so im happy with it whats left shockwave well this is a no brainer he never had an earth mode and a gaint hand gun for another transformer makes no sense a jet does optimusprime well wfc is better same is the voyager but helicopter prime is far the worst as for jazz i like it not going to be my absolute jazz as i have a better looking jazz but he will end up in my set so all in all i want you try and think a little about this earth modes have been done how much how many times its a nice change
