Hasbro were using new wave numbers for the new year at BotCon, so am using it for now until something like the cases, say differently.
Amazon have updated their listings with official images.
This wave has Armada Starscream, FOC Skywarp, Targetmaster Scoop and the Minicon Assault Team (still no individual names yet).
That green Minicon Assault Team can stand in as my representative from the Ammonite Army. ;)
I think that's the idea, yeah.
Definitely want the Mini-cons. I'll probably get Scoop because I like guys that come packed with smaller guys. It's a shame that Starscream doesn't come with Swindle.
Are these guys coming with comics as well?
I guess Scoops would be easy and any upcoming issue could have Screamer, but FoC Skywarp and the Ammonites would have to have a very recent (yet unreleased) issue to go with.
Very impressed by Skywarp's deco on the FOC SS mould.
16444/9 ;) I wouldn't mind if future Ammonite teams are done in the same green camo.Quote:

I'll be grabbing Skywarp as well, the others I will just wait and see if they turn up in a shop, unless of course BBTS as usual are selling the whole wave as the one set.
Re: the comics, it looks like all issues of "Dark Cybertron" will be released with the toys, rather than character specific issues
I wouldn't mind another Spinister :) I've got the Botcon one already, and whilst the choice of plastic colouring is spot on the head is still lacking (and not to mention the lacking double Targetmasters :p).Quote:

The Ammonites will have to be a Dark Cyberton (can't use DC as an acronym for the event...) as the issue they featured in comes with Skids.
I've just TFwiki'd Ammonites, looks like I have some catching up to do.
Preordered on sight :D
Same :oQuote:

Lovin all three of these. Only question now is where best to get them
The Ammorites are like a three page joke in the comic that comes with Skids, so not too much to catch up on actually.
I'm interested in getting skids out of this line anyone know when we are likely to see them in Aus?
They're due out the same time as DOTM Soundwave, Que and Leadfoot :pQuote:

But then it'll randomly show up at a Reject Shop in 3 years time.
I like the look of Scoop and the Mini-Con Ammonites... pass on the others.
That's a shame as I'd much rather get some of these figures than have all of the construct a bot toys we're getting atm, if anyone is gonna buy some of theses from OS I would happily chip in for shipping I just can't justify it for 1 or 2 figures on my own.
I think they may have more of a role to play.Quote:

I guess they're not going with the IDW comics' number-based names.Quote:

They're up fopr pre-order on BBTS now
That Starscream looks as cheap and hollow as the FOC toys.
Oh come on! That's not fair at all. Give BBTS a break.Quote:

Only Skywarp for me. Starscream's a bit too lackluster (just how I like my Armada toys :p), wish he was a voyager size. Minicons and Scoop do nothing for me.

They do really look good!
Out of packaging images of Armada Starscream and Minicon Assault Team. I know we're all thinking the same thing - why didn't they do a size comparison of the Minicons with Generations Skids?! :confused::p;)
