Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

RK is advertising a second batch of Hasbro Soundwave's due for an August release.

They've managed to secure more stock, hence the first & second wave listing.

In that case it's not a second run it's just a restock so if they are saying it's a second run they are talking out their asses.

After searching Fred's and not coming up with a firm answer I thought I would put this question to the masses. I have an orange cockpit canopied Starscream. Does anyone have any info on these? The figure is genuine and I have had it for 10 years at least. Now, with Oz getting the 90's reissue Starscream that was released in G1 box not Gold box I was wondering did this one come with an orange canopy? I am thinking that someone may have put this canopy on screamer at some stage.

Sounds like the TFC reissue to me. What does the manafacturer stamp say?

It has the usual Hasbro Takara Japan. So definitely not a reissue, I've checked one of my other references and it has pictures of both Skywarp and Thundercracker with the orange canopies, so perhaps this is a variant that Fred really hasn't got much info on.

Best to post some pics, its easy to swap them around.

Earlier this evening I received a PM on PSN from another user asking me to 'game share' my Dinobots DLC pack with him (or her). Isn't this illegal and/or a violation of PlayStation's Terms of Service? If so, how do I go about reporting this user?

[...] Unless expressly authorised by us, you must not:

Aside from security concerns, it could be against the ToS to engage in sharing but probably not to solicit it. I suggest ignoring/blocking them and only reporting if they continue to pester you.

I heard on today's Seibertron podcast that IDW is using FOC toy designs in it's RID comic. As I'm not yet up to reading RID (I'm only up to Transformers Ongoing) I'm wonder which FOC toys show up in IDW G1?

As I collect new G1 toys I can now justify getting FOC toys I passed over last year because they where Aligned Continuity toys.

Quickly off the top of my head: FOC Starscream, FOC Sideswipe, WFC Bumblebee, and FOC Soundwave are all in RID.

Jazz, Shockwave, Laserbeak, Thundercracker, Skywarp and some of the combaticons use the FoC designs too. Frenzy, Rumble, Ravage and Buzzsaw show up but I can't remember if they're the same as the FoC toys. Sideswipe shared the Jazz mould in the toy line but looks to have a different design in the comics.
