    You can see "FS-05" on the torso's box, so that means it still comes with one of the figures. Starscream is 06.

    FS-05 is sold separately and they give you the big ass FS-06 box for storage purpose.

    I asked Robotoybase (where I got Bulldog from) about the Starscream arm and how to get one and they didn’t know. They said to send them another email once the arm has been released.

    Seems really counterproductive for Toyworld to be making this release so confusing. Although the confusion is generating conversation so...maybe that’s the plan? :/

    This is actually not too bad for me as I'm already down with the 2 figures already shown.. so there's only 2 other figures I need to buy that might be bum notes.... also... *ENHANCE*... is that another head? I WANNA SEEEEE.

    Three. There's three figures left: Hut Rhut, Barricade and Jetfire.

    Was trying to get an understanding of WTF is going on with Toyworld and their various movie stuff. Lots of designs / announcements / plans, but very little out yet. Does this summary seem correct?

    The FS line is all Movie-based WW1 designs / inspired by such, and most are deluxe-ish, maybe smaler voyager-ish.
    • TW-FS01 - Bulldog (green released, gray repaint version coming)
    • TW-FS02 - Hot Rod (no proto yet?)
    • TW-FS03 - Bee (Mercedez Benz) (gray and purple versions)
    • TW-FS04 - Barricade (no proto yet?)
    • TW-FS05 - Jetfire (no proto yet?)
    • TW-FS06 - Starscream. Gray version will come via BAF parts in 1-5 to make TW-FS06 Starscream. The first release of TW-FS01 did not, but suppliers are supposed to correct this for people. Red and blue repaints coming at some point, we don't know if these are BAF as well or what. He's also noticeably bigger than the others in the line.
    Meanwhile, they're also doing another line of movie toys. These are MPM scaled.
    • TW-F01 Prime (Based on AOE / TLK design)
    • TW-F02 Crosshairs (Toyworld Shatter and Dropkick triple changers)
    • TW-F03 Drift (blue, AOE colors, only artwork, unknown if a triple changer but probably)
    • TW-F04 Shatter (proper triple changer, only artwork)
    • TW-F05 Dropkick (proper triple changer, only artwork)
    • TW-F06-F08 Unannounced
    • TW-F09 Prime (Based on BB Movie)

    Open questions:
    • Will repaints of the various FS-01-05 come with the BAF parts?
    • Do repaints come with a different color BAF?
      • For example, Green Bee comes with Gray Starscream arm, Purple Bee comes with Red Starscream arm, or something
    • Or does only the first release in whatever is deemed the "main" color come with BAF parts?
    • What's the release plans for Red / Blue TW-FS06?
    • Will F03 be a triple changer? Will F03 get released in black/red/TLK colors?

    I think it also adds to the confusion when the BAF is fully completed to packaging stage but half the figures it’s supposed to come with apparently aren’t even at prototype stage.

    On average it takes a toy one year (often more, but generally speaking) from beginning designs to final product. Does that mean we won’t have a completed Starscream until sometime next year, possibly 2021?

    Will Toy World end up releasing the repaints in their own before we are even finished building the original version?

    Will I even care about this by the end of this year? :p

    I think toyworld should just release starscream now. He looks ready to release. or perhaps if people get the other figures they want Toyworld could let people order the remaining parts to make starscream from their prefered retailers. I wont be able to buy all these figures myself. I've preordered bumblebee. Would like hotrod and starscream also bulldog. That's all i'm interested in.

    I feel like this is going to blow up in their face. Some retailers won't be bothered to send out the missing arm, and once Starscream is fully out (if it ever happens) someone is going to KO it quick.

    Nah, I'm out. I've been shying away from 3rd party as of late, aside from upgrade kits that really add to a figure, but whole figures? Eh... I think Planet X's Star Saber will be my last for a good bit, if not forever. They're too expensive, too many hurdles to jump through, and while it takes them forever, Hasbro does seem to get around to it and somehow surprise you with a pretty good figure for a lot less.

    If these were half the price and Starscream wasn't a BAF, I'd be all in. And before anyone cries about the quality of 3rd party VS the quantity of Hasbro's stuff, two things... 1.) I know, I've been a big proponent of 3rd party for a long time, they do some amazing stuff. 2.) Official is cheaper and I get a ton more of it for the same price. IF something breaks or goes wrong, I can "easily" replace it. I've had 3rd party stuff break on me and either wait for replacement parts or go without and have it looking @$$y. BAF needs to die in a fire. It's one thing for a combiner, it's literally MADE for such a thing and you know that going in, but getting stuck with a crap figure to complete the one you do want is garbage behavior and only barely passable when Hasbro does it because it's retail pricing or less in some cases, whereas 3rd party is "You could've made a car payment!" by the end of it. No more, no thanks. -_-

    My Bulldog just came in stock at TFSource. Won't be shipping it until Bee is in stock, but no idea what's actually coming with them, yet.
