Transformers Fall of Cybertron Official Site Characters Update

The official Transformers Fall of Cybertron website has updated its characters section with two more characters. Now added to the site are the Autobot Jazz and Decepticon Soundwave. Jazz curiously has a different colored head to how he is depicted in game, with this version looking more like the Movie series version of Jazz. Both characters have their bios and special abilities given - Jazz has his well-publicized grappling hook, while Soundwave naturally gets the ability to eject minions from his chest.

Stay tuned for more official unveilings of characters - there are four more slots to go!

Interesting. Jazz's head has the same color layout as Movie Jazz rather than G1 Jazz.

Funny how Jazz's head is the opposite color scheme than what's in game lol.

I hope they didn't change it, Jazz just looks very...off with a white helmet.

And did Soundwave just become Soundblaster?

When I click that link, it won't load, and when I type in the link, I don't see the selections of Jazz or Soundwave in the characters section. D:

Clearly nobody has officially decided on Jazz's deco.

Soundwave ejects mini-cons!!! Yay!!!!
Onslaught24

It worked, thanks!

I think those inverted head colors are just a dumb mistake.

Soundwave looks like a BOSS! Best design upgrade besides Shockwave. Mind-blowing
Bountyan
Yeah Jazz's head looks weird like that.
SPLIT LIP
I kinda like Jazz's new look.
Stardust262
I....I'm not sure what to make of Jazz

Me too, not sure why everyone's complaining about his new look. He actually looks better IMO.

How do I rotate the characters like in Onslaught24's pictures?

Yeah, too bad the figure has skinny legs instead.

Gotcha. Wasn't working before, but now it is. Thanks! s

Also, I love Cliffjumper's TFP-esque head.

I think Jazz would've looked better in silver colors if they aren't going for the G1 black colored head but that's just me.
MaxxieOD
Man, I just adore Jazz's design in these games. Shame the toy doesn't do it justice except in vehicle mode. Still getting one tho. The white head throws me off, but if they're changing to it, I can live with it.

I think he's a little too bulky, but then again, they're all bulked up for FOC. Still Jazz looks pretty good.

Same goes for Shockwave's figure.

He's a lil bulky, but I think part of it is the pose too, since they got him almost crouching.
Optimus1116
Jazz's head is really bothering me in the pic, but I guess it's fine. I'm also glad that Soundwave has an "armada" of minions... who I guess are mini-cons now?
zemega
I think it is the American style that likes to bulk things up. Just look at the Power Rangers versus their Japan origin, the PR are so bulked up, especially the toys. Perhaps this was the 'retailers' suggestion/impose/condition for the toy, that it got reflected in the game as well. Well, the Americans are certainly getting bulkier (from Yahoo News, in obesity, no offense to anyone). Although I think the Soundwave voyager, getting a bulk chest is to accommodate the cassettes (shouldn't it be called discs now?), I think its quite acceptable, since that is his selling point.
Bountyan
Shockwave is one of those cases where I actually like the way the toy looks more than the render. I can accept the skinny legs on him a bit more too cause I can pretend it's a homage to the G1 toy.
HeroicC300
So, was Bruticus or Vortex the next Decepticon?

Still glad that we've got more bots to review.

Perceptor and Vortex are next, followed by Grimlock and Bruticus.

Compiled a bit of a turn around of Jazz for future drawing references and the like. I love that they have that turn around of them. His wheels and blue parts are a lot shinier than his white parts.
Ultrawave
I like Jazz's colorscheme here. The white head works much better than this blue one they had.

However, I don't like how Jazz's chest seems to shrink so much in bot mode compared to how large it is in vehicle mode. His chest looks to be all in one piece too.
Agentknife
I'm can't freakin wait to play as Soundwave with his deploy minions ability.
Do you think the player will take direct control over the minions like the remote control mini-nuke in WFC or do you think it will be more like the deploy turret ability where the player releases a minion who fights for you?

I completely disagree with the post above this one. I absolutely HATE the white helmet on Jazz. I just hope that it is a booboo and that HM didn't decide to change Jazz's in game helmet color.

Must be a mistake. In-Game screenshots show him with a blue helmet, and the toy has this color too (kinda like the Pretender toy).

Maybe you need to refresh the page? Worked perfectly fine for me and many other people.
Bumblebee765
Awesome, Soundwave! I'm even more psyched for his toy now! Also, Jazz looks awesome too, and I actually like the different head...
Shizuka
When were Cliffjumper and Starscream added?

They both look good too. I like how the colours are stronger in this game.

Well all the transformers sorta mass shift when they transform so its no surprise.
Autobot_Hiphop
Cliff Jumper is red and black? I thought Cliffy used to be red and grey like Bumblebee was yellow and grey? Can't remember.

Not that i'm complaining at all. I REALLY like cliffjumper being red and black. He looks evil! And it fits his personality to a tee.

I just hope those shots haven't been misinterpreted and Cliff Jumper is really a lot lighter (greyer) in game.

And Jazz looks awesome, grey helmet or blue helmet I could care less. That design rocks! Best Jazz design ever IMHO.

Every one of your posts I see is rude and/or rude.
Or rude.

I like most of their designs.
EDIT: Okay maybe my comment about Optimus being a brick with arms and legs was an exaggeration, but I still think Megatron needs to go on a diet.

Y does EVERYBODY hate that Prime????
Hellbot
Not trying to hate, but I really don't understand their decision to change the Optimus design. Both him and Megatron are way to wide and blocky. This won't affect my decision to purchase the game, it is just disappointing to see.

I don't hate that design, it's just not as good as the previous WfC design. I just feel he looks a little too G1.

Because they made him too fat and bulky. It just looks ugly. Not a fan of his head design either.

That is why we either hate or dislike the design. I also think it looks cheaply made with little effort.

But the site is making everybody look bulkier in-game. In the trailer he doesn't look overly bulky, only Megatron does.

What Optimus Prime are you looking at?

Alot of the characters in FOC have become unnecessarily bulky to sell new toys.
