Great to see some more confirmation of the Video game toys.

The "Maximus" thing is an interesting idea but shame they had to tie it back to Optimus again.

Awesome on the Generations and Fall of Cybertron parts.

Not sure exactly what Weaponizers and Maximus are. Are they movie verse?

Mad, at least it's good to know that Generations is continuing, and game figures will be coming out again.

Foc stuff ingen sounds awesome. Hope we do get all the dinobots and shockwave- although if we did get all dinos in gen- going from before, would likely be deluxe sized, although I hope they change to include voyagers.. Not going to hold my breath.

He other news is "Optimus Maximus" hopefully a fort max play set in cyber verse scale which fans have been asking for- I'd definitely get one!!

Where's the pics...

Not sure exactly what Weaponizers and Maximus are. Are they movie verse?

The Weaponisers are described as "Prime" and it seems like the new name for Leader class, with a deployed weapon mode in vehicle form (like movie's Stealth Force).

The article also suggests the new Maximus set is part of the TF:Prime Cyberverse scale.


Where's the pics...
It's a no photos event. Says so in in the intro. Pics should come from the US toy fair in a few weeks.

Optimus Maximus? Oh come on.... Hopefully they only threw on the Optimus so as to kick start the Fortress side of things. Good to see this idea making a come back.

As long as it doesn't look like ass.

The WFC figures were some of the best deluxes we've had in a long while, I hope the new FoC figures are comparable in quality.

Weaponisers sound rubbish - I'd rather have a complex leader class figure like RotF Optimus any time.

I'm waiting for more news and any pics of the Movie Trilogy line.

I'm excited for all of these. Especially Optimus Maximus. Love the idea of a giant transformers playset.

Some great news! and some disappointing news too.

Generations - while no doubt a great line, I really wanted FoC to have its own toyline. the WFC figures looked great in vehicle mode but only Soundwave and Megatron were great in robot mode. Optimus and Megatron would have benefitted so much with voyager class toys and bumblebee/cliffjumper had those horribly weak legs and huge backpack.

Optimus Maximus - That awesome. The name is crap but hopefully the playset is executed well as the new wheeljack ship and knockout driller looked really good.

Kre-O - these sound very promising! I would have preferred if the constructicons were G1 though.

Soundwave was the only toy I really enjoyed from the WFC line, the others just didn't seem all that great to me. Would love to see a WFC Breakdown & (any) seeker mold!

A new Generations line sounds good.

Not sure about everything else, Playsets, Weaponisers etc, sounds more like gimmicky stuff which will appeal to TF'S core market of children, rather than me.

Playsets are pretty cool in my opinion. I have really enjoyed the Ark from DOTM, which is about all I have enjoyed from that line!:p I just hope that "Optimus Maximus" can live up to the original maximus. Unlikely I know...

Gimmicks can be cool if executed well. Of course what we expect of Gimmick changes as time goes on.

While I expected that we would be seeing some FOC toys coming out this year that does not diminish my excitement upon hearing that it's confirmed. Fingers crossed for a FOC Shockwave :cool:

Anubis damn it... :(
Why'd they have to base such an awesome concept of a Cyberverse playset on Optimus? - As someone on another forum suggest: Call him TF: Prime Star Convoy and I'll buy it. :o

In other news...

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=12209) figures!!! :D:cool:

I hope they will include Voyager class figures.
Equal numbers of Decepticons to Autobots.
Only Prime and Megatron to receive new molds, no more Bumblebees!
Equal to or greater amounts of paint apps as those from previous Classicsverse lines.
All 5 Dinobots, no exceptions!


The continuation of Kreo is also an awesome revelation, I really would like to see this line continue to evolve and diversify; Can't wait for piccies! ;):)

I think the Ark is a fun toy so I think Optimus Maximus could be a really fun toy. He reminds me of Diaclone Powered Convoy.

The gaps/spaces on his arms and legs make me think of the Machine Men Power Armour. Perhaps the Cyberverse toys can ride inside the robot? Cool play idea.

Yeh, I hope it has a decent alt mode as well though, not Just Optimus Max lying down. Would have preferred to see someone aside from optimus though. Maybe for the bio, it will be a reborn Star Convoy?:p
