    Titanium WW Megs = YES!!!!

    Titanium Magnus = AWESOME - finally not an Optimus repaint.

    Titanium Fallen = AWESOME!

    Last two Alts, Rumble = Cool, Ravage = Meh

    Cliffjumper = Cool

    That's a mistake. It comes with Lazerbeak and Ravage.

    I love Botcon. We see so much cool stuff.

    That Cliffjumper redeco is awesome. I generally follow a no-repaint rule unless there's some sort of remolding, but so far, I want all the classics repaints (Cliffjumper, Magnus, Skywarp).

    Those titaniums look sweet, too.

    G1 UM = AWESOME.

    Didn't follow the DW comics, so dunno who/what the Fallen is, but he looks interesting too.

    On closer inspection, Magnus seems to have ONE shoulder peg, and it's on the left side. The right shoulder has an indentation instead of a peg.

    It makes sense that the missiles SHOULD be movable, but I'm betting that they aren't on this version of the figure. Maybe there'll be a design change before he ships. And yes, the red eyes need to be changed to blue.

    I'm still psyched that we're finally getting a non-bricky, armored, G1 Ultra Magnus who's fully transformable. He looks good, and he can be tweaked to be even better before release.

    WW Megs looks awesome. WW Grimlock sounds promising; can't wait for photos.

    "Oil Slick has been requested to be a redeco as big daddy." What the hell does that mean? Translation, plz?

    "Takara has done one now and everything they do Hasbro has access." Hmmmmm.

    Did anyone ask why Classics Prime supposedly doesn't have a peg or any obvious means to attach a trailer? MP Prime did -- and he didn't HAVE a real trailer until MP-04.

    "Scramble City will be on the DVD. Takara gave that to them. They were not able to use the Japanese voice actors." Nice -- but I assume this means they'll have to re-dub everything?

    "Alternators will they be in the comics? - No because of the licensing issues." WHOOPS. So you made a licensed line of toys, that can only be promoted AS toys and not through other media like the REST of the TF's. Nice going, marketing! Maybe that'll change after the movie (heh).

    "What is your feeling on the kiss play line? - They are allowed to do in their market whatever they want but doesn’t make since to Hasbro. Whatever works for them." Nice answer, but how do you REALLY feel? :tongue:

    Woot! Classics Devastator!! I'll buy 2 of them!
    Short list of Classics sounds promising (Jazz!! Sunstreaker!!) Hope those get made!
    Cliffjumper- eh, I can live with it.
    the Titaniums look alright, but I really want to see Grimlock!
    Whats this about the Seacons? I thought I saw someone in this thread mention them.. were they mentioned at the panel, or is it just a matter of someone wanting to see them??
    And whats this about Oilslick?

    "Seacons? - Is done and ready but looking for a home for it." Which is what they basically said last year.

    Still, that means there's a smidgen of hope we'll see them.

    Poor Magnus. First Hasbro took away his armor, now they've taken away his inner robot. :lol

    Big Daddy was a muscle car micromaster. Someone requested that Oil Slick, a new Minicon muscle car, get a repaint deco like Big Daddy..

    No kidding. I've got the other 3 and was planning to get the first Megs, but now I think I'ma blow it off and wait for a proper foe for WW Prime.

    That has been my biggest fear, since the Hot Rod pictures surfaced. The transformation and bot mode is all wrong to be Wheeljack. Plus, I'd rather not have Wheeljack sharing a mold with that yutz.

    I missed the last two limbs for Energon Devestator so I'm stoked for the new combiner. AGAIN, I would like to see repainted Aerialbots for this series too!

    I wasn't gonna collect any titaniums but....

    I think I'm gonna go for all the War Within Molds. They're just too cool and from too cool a story NOT to have

    It would be sooo awesome if they repainted the other two gestalts into G1 colors!

    Why is it Classics only has a "short list"?

    Anyway, some cool stuff unveiled overall. The Cliffjumper looks nice but I still foolishly hoped at least for a new head. I'm still not into Bumblebee and Cliffjumper having the same body, because they *didn't* in G1, but whatever, it works.

    That UM is awesome except the damn arms being pushed so far back. They should have engineered it so that they slid forward, it doesn't seem it'd be hard to do.
