We haven’t really seen much of the upcoming Generations Kickback figure since past cons, until now! Tekmen has posted his images of his Kickback testshot. His thoughts on this figure:
“The robot mode is gorgerous and posable
Yet the insect mode is a pile of junk. Can’t properly stand as a bug, doesn’t even really look like a bug;
worst of all, joints are ultra-limited in bug mode:
The kicking-back-legs can’t kick AT ALL, they are positioned only the way you see in the photo, can’t stretch any further;
The wings are somehow engineered to bend ONLY the way that could pop parts off… no idea what that’s for……”
Tekmen also posted images of his FOC Starscream testshot, showing the transformation process! Check out the new FOCing pics after the jump!

If they made all 3 insecticons I would be so happy

i think the test shot Kickback's insect mode legs are upside down, i was comparing the pics and they look different……

Nice – thanks!

This?

That actually makes a lot of sense…

Yeah, since the new ongoings started alot of the Transformers have adopted their War for Cybertron / Fall of Cybertron modes. It's actually very common for TF's in the comics to change forms to whatever's currently on the shelves.

Any pics of these two?

I'm very late with IDW comics, so I didn't know this:
It's from Robots In Disguise #1.
EDIT: What the hell, Shockwave is the same as FOC Shockwave, too! Am I *that* late?
EDIT 2: Bumblebee too! Crap, I'm so ashamed.

GAWD i cannot WAIT until FOC fireflight, ….air raid,… whatever comes out. i thought Shockwave looked simply amazing, although i thought his legs were a tad bit too skinny. for some reason with fireflights (again, whatever his name is) color scheme and new head and chest mold i dont even notice the legs anymore. come on and hurry up November, i am dying of impatience!!!

Loving the way Starscream looks. Definitely gonna be keeping an eye out for him.

that Kickback looks awesome!!! I really wanna see that bad boy in proper G1 colors.
GAUGE
Why not?
Takara's always doing that stuff and calling them exclusives.

I doubt the insect mode has been transformed properly, hence why it looks weird, it'll prob be rectified in the released version! although…the jet mode looks pretty cool
Transformed
These pics look like they were taking in the same place TFC Toys took Hercules' pics
I wish the rest of the FOC line looked as good as Starscream–no WFC/FOC toy looks as good. Period!

I've changed my mind quite a bit lately on these but Kickback still remains on my wants list.

I so can't wait for FOC Kickback and Starscream. They look awesome.
MrFX
You know they will…and one of them will end up some type of exclusive.

I just share the same dream…

I guess all hope is gone for a "real" CHUG update of the Insecticons now, and probably no TF Prime ones either.
