    So many toys out there, it's crazy. It's good to know I haven't gone completely out of my mind... yet.

    Hey everybody,
    FOC/WFC is one of my favorite lines to collect but as most you know, it is missing some key characters. Anyone want to help find some replacements?
    I'll give an example: Fansproject Insecticons as the two remaining Insecticons.

    Personally I wouldn't use the FP Insecticons. Those are Classics style not game style. Keep an eye on the 3rd party, Planet X. They seem be focusing on game designs and I suspect they'll do the Insecticons when they finish the Dinobots.

    Yea but for me they will be just a place holder until a third party releases the game designs.

    I had touched up some of my
    figures with glow in the dark and
    florescent paint to make them
    as game accurate as possible.

    First up: Optimus Prime

    Second up: Starscream

    Third up: Soundwave

    (He's a little sloppy as he was the first one I touched up)

    And finally: Shockwave

    Just got FoC Blaster, and I have to say that toy works so much better as blaster than it does as Soundwave. That btw is insane as the voyager model is so heavily inspired by the WfC Deluxe which really works as Soundwave.

    So is FoC Ramhorn worth getting? I really don't want to get another iteration of the humanoid data disks.

    I recently got FOC Topspin and I noticed that it looks like his shoulders separate and can fold down his back. I feel like I'm going to break it when I try to do it and I don't see anything about it on his instructions. Is it supposed to fold down? Can you guys please help.

    Totally worth getting. Best of the data disk beast modes.

    Do you mean in transformation? Cause they're supposed to tab together and rotate down to form the back of his alt mode.

    No, I know that. I mean, his individual shoulders have a panel line running the opposite way of how the shoulders combine in alt mode. In other words the panel line that I'm talking to you about crosses the panel line that you're talking about like a T is crossed. If you look under the shoulder there is a clip holding this panel line together but it also has a hinge so it looks like only half of each shoulder could possible fold down his back. Thanks.

    The back of the shoulders? Those aren't meant to be moved at all on any version of the Blast Off mold. At least, the bit of dried glue around the interlocking tabs appears to indicate that it's not supposed to, and there doesn't seem to be any room for them to fold down even without the glue and tabs in the way. That hinge is just for the arm assembly to fold down for robot mode, it seems.

    I think he was a placeholder name in retail systems for Blitzwing?
