To me, that suggests we'll also get a Grimlock. Although, "Swoop" is a generic enough name that it could apply to almost any flying Transformer, and not necessarily to our familiar Dinobot.

What if it is FOC Swoop?
None of the lines are actually called Prime after all. This post has been edited by Silent_Magnus: Apr 11 2012, 11:24 AM -------------------- |

What if it's both? FOC Cliffjumper has Prime Cliffjumper's head. Maybe Swoop's gonna show up in Prime in his FOC look.

Maybe their name for Dreadwing or Skyquake? I have my doubts it'll be anything other than a redeco of something.
-------------------- Fall of Cybertron will blow your mind. That is all.

Full Metal Hero (started by the same guys that run Kapow Toys) say that it's an Autobot: QUOTE Site sponsor Kapow Toys have posted a new listing for Takara Tomy Transformers Voyager Class TF PRIME AM17 AUTOBOT SWOOP due this August, no images are available for the product at this time. http://www.fullmetalhero.com/content/new-l...ger-swoop-3468/ -------------------- |

We know that Dreadwing's Japanese name is Dreadwing from a Cyberverse solit, IIRC.
Also, name the last time Takara did a mass-release redeco of a Voyager in a show-based line that wasn't featured in the show the line was promoting. --------------------  |

Oh man. I could really dig a big Swoop.
Prediction: the entire reason Brimstone is a Star Seeker is because they've got this voyager mold they need to do multiple releases of. -------------------- |

Probably a Starscream repaint. He's got the head-thingy and everything.

I hope and pray it means Swoop the Dinobot, which means the other Dinobots could be coming to the show.
I made this prediction a while ago: isn't FoC is supposed to be in the same continuity as Prime? I thought maybe some of the Autobot artifacts sent to Earth could be the Dinobots. Apparently the upcoming "Tunnel Vision" is about Arcee and Bumblebee going to New York to secure four of the relics. Are the Dinobots under New York? My name will tell you just how excited I am about the possibility of the Dinobots showing up in Prime when they're already in FoC. |

I could see some bleed over from the FOC generations figures to have a few voyagers in the "Prime" packaging. Similar to the couple of Generations figures we got in RTS packaging.

Which, besides the mini-cons, has been mostly Robots In Disguise molds with a couple First editions. -------------------- |

I thought WfC, FoC and Prime were all one time line?

QUOTE(Smitty @ Apr 11 2012, 06:21 PM) I thought WfC, FoC and Prime were all one time line? No they're what we would call one Continuity Family. Not really the same thing. It'd be like saying the G1 toon and comic were one time line. They spring from the same big Hasbro story bible and pass Hasbro's "squint test" that they've talked about. But they are definately not one timeline. -ZacWilliam, they are seperate takes based on the same source materials but intentionally not reconciled with each other.
