    This was a no-brainer, FOC toys were all-but-confirmed at Botcon.

    Well, judging by this picture, it seems like Hasbro is at least planning to have the First Edition toys at retail. :peoples:

    I can see the Dinobots selling well in a toyline, if only because a) Dinosaurs and b) Robots.

    It strikes me that traditionally Hasbro's biggest obstacle has been justifying them in fiction.

    Well, there's the 'robots in disguise' packaging that seems to have so many vexed! Not a bad design, reminds me of the united packaging slightly!

    OMG! It's so Kawaii-desu.....^_^

    I kid! I kid! I Kid!

    I'm amazed they barely leaked anything out the Rescue Bots cartoon cast?

    Fall of Cybertron will rock. Prime too.

    Damn, the main line TFP packaging looks tight! Love the white & red theme of it.

    Rather United-esque, which I approve of - I liked the 'clean' look of the card designs on that line (I'm a self-confessed sucker for packaging styles!)

    The Prime main-line packaging looks nice. Should be interesting to see what the Voyager class packaging looks like.

    FoC potentially having it's own line is great news, though I see that taking the place of Generations entirely. Oh well, the line wasn't really going anywhere, and probably wasn't going to last all that much longer anyways.

    Battleship Kre-O's is a nice bit of news. Not sure if I'll get any of the sets, but I might just get one of the cheaper ones. Should be interesting to see how those turnout. Also, this makes me hopeful for G.I. Joe Kre-O's around the time the next movie comes out. Would be great if they also made Micronauts Kre-O's when it's movie comes out.

    The Rescuebots show looks interesting. Probably not something I'll purposefully watch myself, but if I get the chance to, I'll show it to my nephew (he's just the right age for something like this).

    I hope the 'Con packaging is purple and white!

    Ditto. It's actually a little embarrassing how many things I have bought just -because of- the packaging :)  Probably has a lot to do with my career & background.

    But yeah, the TFP re-design looks great. Almost makes me want to buy the First Edition stuff since it's a completely different style & color scheme.

    First thought: Go, go, GoBots!!!

    Ah, finally, HASBRO expands the KRE-O franchise. I probably won't buy any Battleship sets, but I look forward to seeing them.

    This is awsome!!!!!! I'm so glad Transformers Prime is doing so well with people in the UK! Here's hoping it does well in other countries especially here in the USA! I also like how Transformers Fall of Cybertron is getting it's own full toyline too!!! So looking foward to the Dinobots!!! So I guess they are thinking of more movies but they should first focus on TFP before they get to work on more movies!
