    I didn't set them, genius, that was my first reply to you. :lol  Not my fault that it's the least inspiring "new" wave I've seen in two years of collecting, and it is the only meaningful followup to date to the blitz of new product we got in May.

    I actually like the DotM line, but it's fair to say it's been handled rather oddly. The NEST subline of RotF was packed with new molds, good homages, etc.

    Now, I KNOW why we are getting redecos. It's because the mainline MechTech is 100% new tooling, so now they are stuck trying to capitalize. That doesn't mean that Ironhide With A Red Stripe, Different Nascar Topspin, and Ugly Green Plane who Wasn't in the Film are somehow desirable. (Darksteel actually is, but don't pretend he took a lot of effort either!)

    Soundwave. Leadfoot. Wheeljack. In the film, unlike Skids, Mudflap, and Jolt. They even all had lines. I'll get excited for those. They were so cool on the big screen FIVE MONTHS AGO. :lol

    Good stuff Shadow. We got your FOC Line confirmed thanks to Hasbro’s Investor Day 2011.

    Perhaps the FOC line was changed from being in Generations to being its own line, akin to what happened with the Prime line? I wouldn't be too surprised if that were the case.

    Also, FoC toys were coming anyway, no need to "predict" them. We knew about Buzzsaw, G1-inspired dotm wheeljack and others from official sources before that. I don't intend to attack this shadow dude, but I won't believe him until some of the more outlandish claims start to leak. It's the same person that apparently told another member that if we did a petition (...) hasbro would do a cyberverse raiden or whatever. Compare him with TCracker who can only give hints and accurately told us about Prime v2 and SS v2 before they were announced.

    At least let's stop quoting him as if he was a 100% confirmed source. I have no problem with swallowing my words later and apologizing if he happens to be right.

    It's possible. While I'm not doubting shadow, I also can't help but realize that nothing he's revealed so far has actually been proven to be true, yet. Again, not doubting him, just pointing that out.

    FOC toys were all-but-confirmed at the Hasbro design panel Q&A back at Botcon:

    (paraphrasing from memory)

    Q: If there's a War for Cybertron 2, will we get toys again?
    A: Well, IF there's a WFC2, then I guess there'll be toys.
    (cheers and applause from audience)

    to be clear... yes we all seen that there were in the transformation directions of both Wheeljack and Laserbeak (new heads) pointing toward new toys down the line but I was the only one to mention that the new headed Laserbeak will be painted to look like Buzzsaw (purple accents) and that he will indeed be named Buzzsaw as well as the classic looking headed WJ would have a more classic looking paint job. In fact I was the only one to mention Wheeljacks classic paint job and we have that now confirmed from pics after the fact. As for a cyberverse raiden? That NEVER came from my mouth and or have I never messaged that info to ANYONE on ANY site or on the Internet for that matter. I can tell you all for fact that a cyberverse raiden is not happening. So whoever mentioned this info to you has got his/her info wrong. I only give info from what i see and or have been told from my Hasbro sources whether others believe or not. I only aim to help aid those who want legit info.

    They didn't get it. Though, hopefully we'll get him someday by process of elimination.

    Any new Prime toys you can confirm, as well as Airachnid's Size Class?
