    That was.....undewhelming. I'd say the most interesting news out of it all was the info on Highbrow and Generations Blurr.

    The PCC news RULES.

    Also, why does Blurr need a sniper rifle?

    I assume the rifle will replace Drifts big ass sword and the two pistols replace the swords that sheathe on his hips. pretty cool!

    I think we've pretty much heard about everything in the Generations line at this point. TF Prime is really not that far off and you know TF3 will monopolize the shelves next spring. I will be surprised if Generations makes it past three or four waves.

    Per the Takara panel yesterday, no triple changers are in the works right now for Generations. I remember it because Blitzwing is on MY short list of what I want to see come to fruition.
    We're still waiting for new stuff to be added to the display, Tony B and I are on standby. But Blurr's rifle is not so much a sniper rifle as a longer version of his G1 original based on the five-second Powerpoint slide.

    I'll wait for the cell phone pics to come out in a few hours. I'm sure somebody took some. Heck, people took photos at a highly monitored table a few years back that was no photos and they did it right in front of the people watching. A "panel" where there is a crowd of people. Somebody had to get a shot of the interesting stuffs.

    If some are posted, the Hasbro senior management will disallow future panels. A guy had his camera confiscated last year and he was thrown out because he was taking pics. Plus, the lights are dimmed for the powerpoint and you'd have to give away your position with a flash.

    Hopefully they are in the display cases within the hour, we were told more would be added today. Tony B and I are on standby for it, actually.

    PCC Dinobot combiner set??? Sold. You had me at Dinobot. Don't need invividual bot modes because the vehicle modes are dinos and already characters. This could be the ONLY PCC I even think about spending hard-earned bread on. :) 

    ROBOT HEROES ARE DONE FOR NOW???? HOW DARE YOU HAS-BREAKMYHEART-BRO??!!!

    I LOVE ROBOT HEROES! Would love to see RH TFA and RH WFC and most of all:

    ROBOT HEROES LAST STAND OF THE WRECKERS.

    Most excited about Seacons :)

    Back from breakfast... Looks like I didn't miss anything. Tomorrow it is then. Still keeping my fingers crossed for Classics Jazz and Wheeljack. Come on Hasbro, we've been waiting 3 years now, throw us a bone... two bones.

    I kind of feel bad for the GA people thinking that today's panel would show off new toys.

    I agree with those posting here about it...

    No Generations Jazz, Wheeljack, Trailbreaker, or for that matter any more of the 'Class of 84' bots?

    Hh hah ha! Oh, wow! I nominate THIS be the new nickname for Hasbro whenever they make a decision that "hurts the fans", like not giving us immediate Seeker repaints whenever there's a new Starscream.


    So which mold do you think will be made into Boss next BotCon? Drift or Blurr? Guns vs. Swords.

    i'll answer that for you, no, they won't, hasbro has said they were not going to do premium decos in the very beginning, sorry

    but what a crappy panel, there were like, what, 5 new toys on there? ugh come on hasbro, where is the magic

    but of the new stuff:

    BIG DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    i will always buy new big daddy merchandise, since that is where i got my nickname from haha

    Highbrow makes me happy, more older planes FTW!

    Blurr sounds nice

    the new PCC's sound pretty good, expecially with the return of the term Destron haha

    Yea I've also got that really bad feeling Hasbro is going to ax the Generations after only a few waves.
