    My favorite part when fans where thinking stupid cartoon and not realistically fans kept saying and wanting this will be motormaster who did this Trayvon transform into again as I have been saying for years as much you want something to look g1 does not mean it will be g1 in movies look at transformers armada , cybertron, energon, ironhide wasn’t van he was truck with radar dish in energon series.

    I still say that jet is not starscream as fans want it to be

    Well, I think the difference here is that most jets aren't red and white. If it were just some random character, I don't think they'd have to out of their way to color the jet in the same colors as G1 Starscream. The colors kind of give it away, it's a lot different than picking a grey semi, which is pretty realistic for a truck. Also, Travis Knight is said to be a longtime fan or the original cartoon, whereas Bay didn't seem to be.

    I mean, there's always a chance that it could be a different character, but I can't imagine that happening unless it were intentionally a red herring.

    Edit: In short, Starscream had a unique color palate, whereas Motermaster used more realistic colors.

    I think Hasbro made a mistake by moving their booth to another hall. All the mainstream content (Marvel, DC, Mattel, Lego, Universal etc.) are on one hall and the media/press think Hasbro isn't at the expo this time. There's a likelihood that Hasbro may not get covered this year.

    Hopefully, yes. I heard that they've brought quite a lot of toys to the expo this year, but none to photograph them is such a sad story.

    The least they can do is give us descriptions or names.

    That's how I learned Crosshairs had a trench coat from a London convention.

    I used to like & collect a line called Generations. But apparently it has been unofficially cancelled or permanently pissed away to the back burner to make room for this shit. I guess 5 Bay movies, 10 years, Transformers: Prime & now this movie just isn't enough of that little yellow bastard.:mad:

    Not sure if sarcasm because no one cancelled anything. In fact, I only heard the opposite. Generations is getting expanded. Here's the thing: retailers love to put mainstream media content on the pegs. They believe that with media backing, such lines sell well. Hence you may see Generations taking a step back on movie quarters.

    BUT, Hasbro even rectified that. With the Studio Series, Bumblebee line is absorbed into the aforementioned line. Sure, the Bee movie gimmick line will get on the pegs but I don't expect it to last very long.

    You should try paying more attention then. Generations continuing from the potp banner to the war for cybertron banner. It isnt canceled.

    Oh don’t worry about this dude.

    He just comes into threads, posts a bunch of angry and irrational balderdash, and BUMBLEBEE MUST DIE. I mean, his avatar pretty much sums up what you’re dealing with.

    Take this with a grain of salt:

    Heard a rumor that Hasbro did a panel at Licensing Expo 2018 just like WB did yesterday. Lots of new upcoming toys were revealed. No photographs were allowed during the panel. Hope to hear more.
