    My bad - I thought it was inspired by the game. Anyhow, still a really nice toy.

    Next up for me:
    Optimus - Takara
    Jazz
    Shockwave
    Soundwave
    Bruticus

    Agreed, he is a nice toy. Alas the only thing he's got going for him related to the game are the voice waves.

    btw, Takara FoC Optimus looks great, Takara WfC ... even more glorious.

    Bruticus you'll love especially if you get the SDCC or Platinum decos. Or, if you're a shiny nut like me, the Takara version is a M U S T have.

    From my cold logical brain I really suspect Planet X, if indeed they ARE focusing solely on the game designs, will do the other 4 Dinobots and immediately follow with the Insecticons. After them I suspect they would do Jetfire for some reason.

    But the Insecticons make sense for a number of reasons. First it seems unlikely Hasbro will do them. Next it fills in a hole and thus the demand is greater. An Ironhide figure isn't especially required for a display. But a lone Insecticon is odd. He needs his teammates. Thus more people would likely buy them.

    Don't sweat it. You can call him FOC Metro, Generations Metro, whatever you want. Though due to his line designation, he'd have to go in the CHUG thread. And post pics when you get those others!

    I would say no, don't call him FoC Metroplex. He very clearly ISN'T FoC Metroplex nor is he being advertised as such.

    Are there more FOC toys coming out? Would love to see the other Dinobots, Jetfire, to name a few

    Thanks for the info. Boo for no Dinobots though....They'd make a killing off of them

    While I agree that he's nowhere near FOC Metro, to each his own.

    Minor correction. Hasbro/Takara isn't making any more WfC/FoC figs (a shame, I was really looking forward toward, and still have hope for, a Takara/Tomy FoC Thundercracker). Planet X's next project is FoC Dinobot Swoop (and he's pretty game accurate). Odds are, and I imagine depending on how well Swoop's sales go, the other Dinobots are to follow.

    And don't forget Planet X's Genesis exists as well.

    After I got surprised with FoC Magnus, I splurged and got WfC Bee and Soundwave. I was surprised how similar deluxe WfC Soundwave is to voyager FoC Soundwave.

    That brings up two questions:
    1. I have zero love for insecticons, but at this point he's the only character model I don't have. Should I go for him?
    2. Is it worth getting FoC Blaster?

    I have to say I love this subline. I haven't double dipped into repaints at all but I'm very tempted.

    You're right. I'm sorry...

    I forgot that I got the new head for Genesis.

    :lol  bastich! :lol 

    FoC Kickback looks wicked in bot mode. Insect mode is decent. Still worth having. Blaster is a rehash of Soundwave (like all previous versions where they both appeared in the same toy line series).

    Double dipping into repaints - The seekers are definitely worth having. I guess the only one that's really not worth going after is SoundBlaster if you already have Soundwave (and vice versa), unless you can't find Buzzsaw/Lazerbeak sold separately (not too difficult with in these boards).

    What is the difference between Generations Metroplex and his FOC Incarnation? I thought they were the same

    Finally got my hands on Air Raid! I liked Shockwave's mold in the first place, and the combination of remolding, new weapons, and new head sold this guy for me. Certainly doesn't hurt that now the Autobot side of my WF/FOC shelf isn't entirely red, white and blue now...

    Ha, it took me a moment to realize what you meant. My Optimus is decked out with Reprolabels and they are so awesome that I forget how the figure looks stock. I also highly recommend the Shockwave set.
    Reproduction TF symbols and replacement toy symbols - Reprolabels.com

    And yeah, Omega Supreme is really really nice.
    There is no figure of Fall of Cybertron Metroplex. The new figure is borrowing voice clips from the game but that is the only connection (besides both representing the same basic character).

    Metroplex looks like this in Fall of Cybertron.

    The Generations toy does not look like that at all.

    For some strange reason people keep calling the Generations Metroplex, FOC Metroplex. The game is not mentioned at all on the package. The two versions of the character looks radically different. I don't understand why people continue to do so.
