Botcon 2010 Photos are up at TFW2005 (Autobot Alliance Academy, New toys, etc.)
Notables:
Animated Rodimus Minor, Ironhide
I have an explanation for that: I didn’t have a working wireless router for my PS3 from October-March.
man are the seacons slated to be a walmart or tru exclusive yet?
grimlock packaging looks pretty interesting.
Sorry fellas. My Internet has been down the last 3 days. I found a way to tether my DROID to PC for free. I saw all the BotCon Coverage. Man that stuff looks nice. Looks like next year its outwest. With that said . . . .
Looking to BotCon 2012

Other Things
Upcoming “Kup” toy, no details
Open to third party properties becoming toys, ie: War For Cybertron, IDW Drift, etc., but cannot disclose any information
Designers have a desire to do more humans and cassettes in toylines
Aaron Archer wants to revisit Beast Wars again, especially after Dinobot’s induction in to the Hall of Fame
Hasbro won’t reveal identity of Movie Ferarri car
No plans for larger Powercore Combiners yet, offhand remark about WST combiners
Stay tuned for details on more “female Transformers toys”
Takara-Tomy most likely not making new toys for Animated
“Blue Classics Bumblebee” is not a Hasbro product
No Transformers: Prime toys as of yet, only a television show Desire to do a Wheeljack toy
“Airachnid” … stay tuned
“If War For Cybertron toys sell well, we’ll do more of them, Starscream on the short list of desired WFC toys to release”
No plans for “Last Stand of the Wreckers” toys
“Brave” toys from Japan … Hasbro would have to acquire a license, so very unlikely, plus toys are very dated
Haven’t forgotten Trailbreaker
Fosterlager has an unhealthy obsession with female cosplayers
I wonder if these figures are going to be Classics/ Universe 3.0?
Looking forward to Jazz and the Original 13
Oh my wallet suffers thou my heart is content!
I’m looking forward to that Skullgrin.
I’m actually working on an updated version that you can find on my Facebook art page: Mr. Dremel’s Photos - G1 Pretender Skullgrin/Dauros
If anybody is looking to buy the PS3 version of T:WFC I have it for sale on the Trading Outlet for $50 - Free Shipping Like New, if anyone is interested…

I want an Updated version of PowerMaster Optimus Prime. That’s honestly my favorite Prime incarnation.

Hey Satomi, any clue what this is all about?
Legends Size Class
G1 Optimus Prime
G1 Starscream
G1 Megatron
G1 Prowl
Does this mean what I think it means? Sounds like over-sized reissues of the classic figures. I wonder what they plan on doing about Megatron’s gun mode?
Actually, they’re undersized. Legends class is slightly bigger than a Micromaster or Minicon, but smaller than a scout.
Great stuff for next year…
Bought a G1 Trypticon…thanks WfC!
I’m just glad that Hasbro is releasing Animated Iron Hide and Rodimus. Just put that Blackout and Thundercracker out Hasbro and you win!

Huh? So they’re going to be smaller than the OG G1 figures? Isn’t that what the WST line all about?
how much that set you back?
If they’re legends figures, then yes. The WST is licensed by Takara. I’m not sure if these upcoming legends are going to be domestic releases of the WST line. I mean, they very well could be since WST Prime, Starscream, Megatron, and Prowl do exist. But that Megatron is supposed to have a different gun mode, which could indicate that they’re entirely new.
still not a bad price on such an iconic figure.
What figure is the the most valuable to you in your collection?
Mine is Masterpiece Convoy. It’s the first Optimus Prime my parents ever bought me. They were a bit late :lol: All Prime incarnations before I bought on my own.
