he looks so FOCing awesome.

[Doubledealer]

That looks ah...flaming incredible!! :eek: *throws money at screen*

The robot mode is a bit like the game starscream, but the jet mode looks wrong... especially with those over-sized guns on the wings looking like the 2007 Movie starscream.
I think it would have been surprising to NOT have WFC/FOC seekers, but why do we have to wait until 2013... a whole year away.

Probably because TF:Prime has priority as far as Hasbro's business plan goes.

Hopefully those 2007 Movie Starscream canons are removable as in optional. I don't see them in the robot mode though.

...here's hoping we don't have to wait another half a decade before they give us repaints of this mould as Skywarp and Thundercracker (I'd happily collect repaints as Ramjet, Dirge and Thrust too w/o any conehead retool).

Yeah seen that today while I was there and it does look good.

Also still no word on Grimlock though even though a few people asked the panel.
Does it show the Asian exclusives as well? Some more redecos of previous molds into other characters from the G1 line. And I dont have my camera onhand to post those pics either.

They'll be Botcon exclusives ;)

Not yet I think. Any you can remember/describe?

Its those small 'legion' figures I think.......There was Brawl (Breacher), Hoist (Trailbreaker), Thundercracker (Starscream), Springer (oange dune buggy?) and a couple of others that I cant remember off hand. Also there is some bigger sized ones and I think one of those was Wheelie (not movie version) and some exclusive Universal Studio figures such as Prime, Bumblebee and about another three or four others.

There wasnt much else that is new but when I get back to the hotel, Ill post up some pics.

[SharkyMcShark]

I like what I see.

[kup]

I like it too, it is certainly a very nice sculpt. I would go as far as to say that it even looks better than the game character model.

Not liking the canons but they may be removable.

This is hands-down becoming my second fav line only behind Generations (currently produced toys). Why, oh why, do we have to wait an entire year for this to come out :(

[Hursticon]

Wow, that is one incredibly good looking mold! :eek:
I hope that the details are retained once this reaches full production; it's a shame we'll have to wait for quite a while but I think in this guy's case, as well as the nigh-guaranteed repaints, I think it'll be well worth it. :D

[Tallestblue]

Two-thousand thirteeeeeeeeeen!? Awwww.

Aside from FOC Starscream, it looks to me like a whole bunch of lame. I was hoping for new molds rather than repaints.

[Paulbot]

The new toy gets a thread. The repaints and new heads don't. But surely you knew they'd be no new toys to be revealed for this year that aren't TF:Prime? The tease of a FOC toy from Autumn 2013 is a bit tough on the fans eager for more new Generations, so some repaints are an acceptable compromise. It's entirely a new "Universe" line for Asia. :)

[liegeprime]

aaaah ok , now I see why they changed his appearance in the current comics (TF RID). It's to match this upcoming toy.... hmmm I wonder if any of those appearing in the comics are designs that are now translations or will be of what the (upcoming) toys will be looking? It would be a fun wait and see who gets a toy done and if it will follow the comics look.... since they've adapted Bbee's "cybetronian" look now in the comics as well which we all know was reissued earlier as a toy (toy came first heheheh, right Gok?)... Id like to see em all IMO, Prowl's and ironhide's are awesome (cybetronian mode). Wonder if we eveeeeeer am gonna get an Arcee (for Chugurverse) even if it is this messed up homicidal tranny version:rolleyes::rolleyes: (I guess that one is a wait and never see - as it is Hasbro's tradition to gyp us of Arcee figures anyways). Plus I guess they'll use the excuse - "oh there's an Arcee toy right now in TF prime so we dont wanna confuse kids , blah, blah" Yeah right , Like a dozen variations of movie Bumblebee hanging on the store racks is confusing ei?:rolleyes::rolleyes:... gah enough rant.

That's the key point here, these repainted-retools are being squarely aimed at the Asian Market and no where else - This could work out well for us though due to proximity. ;):cool:

Is it just me, or would this look better as a Voyager rather than a deluxe?

[Jinto]

Fantastic mould. I hope they capture his luminous paint scheme.
Got my fingers crossed for G2 Ramjet colours :D

Since all toys for WFC/FOC are deluxes, it would be best if this Starscream maintains that size. It would display badly if he towers over Megatron or Prime.
