I'm more confused than a Newbie wondering why people buy G1 toys - when I consider what reason people might have to buy Busts and statues.

 

I wonder if Hasbro's big, bold claim of no Third Party was purely a statement they had to make for legal reasons, along the lines of "Now listen up kids, we don't want any Third Party unofficial business here. *wink* Oh look, our shoes are untied, don't you go bringing any unoffcial stuff in while we tackle this issue. *wink wink*"?

 

Did Herc get confiscated?

 

Someone needs to work on their observational skills...

4 molds.
2 different tanks
2 different planes

Which is rather exactly NOT the flaw of the Energon combiners.

Is it just me, or is there something missing from this years Dealer Room?

The PEOPLE. It's not crowded at all like last years appeared to be. Hmm. Wonder why.

 

All of those T-shirts look great.

 

You didn't see the people in some of the pics? I did.

Let me know what happens with that whole 3rd party thang.

 

I see a Hercules!

My hobby is cheapened!

 

Shadowbat is a giant staff weapon that turns into a bat with a mostly black color scheme. That doesn't sound like any Transformers characters I know of.

The Scouting Force set they had was the "Convention Exclusive" deco. So the only similarity there is that three bots turn into a camera. Everything else is not like any Transformers character (color, engineering, design, name etc).

Herc's similarities to Devastator are a LOT more numerous.

 

Um, WWII pcc limbs? Hercules? Shadow Bat? What is going on here? 

 

Iron Army...holy shit that's a must buy for me. The vehicle selection is pretty awesome! Great to see what the production colors will be. The WWII nerd in me is having a nerdgasm!

 

What are the Devastator pics and the Combaticon pics? The one with 2 tanks and two old planes? Are those gonna be official releases?

 

That Barricade...Toy Form...NOW!

 

I literally cannot believe that Hasbro is gonna release that Bumblebee and Optimus Prime statues,and who wants to bet that they'll be wide spread releases and there will be 200 of each in each store atleast.I am so ready to see anything other than that.

Also who is this TFP Prowl,have they shown him yet? if so where?.

 

they're from newera.

one of the largest hat makers out there.

 

I'm disappointed that they recolored the blue PCC tank to be tan...





It matches the rest better now but I really wanted that awesome blue tank.

 

Tigers were often Tan though. and you never know they might make a repaint set for them. I hope they make something British if they make more of them - perhaps a Lancaster Bomber or a Dragonwagon as the core body for example ?

 

Heh. I knew Hercules would troll Botcon....

 

According to their Facebook account, Robot Kingdom had to take down the TFC ads. No mention of anything else having to be removed.
