Oooooh...

Lugnut, Banzai-Tron, and others... some awesome stuff coming up this year. Can't wait to see these.

 

Bonzai-tron!!!!!!! Lugnut!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grappel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Then wouldn't it be a little early to have all these names in the computers already? I'd think a couple months would be understandable, but 5+ seems a little much. Or maybe it's just that having to wait 5+ months makes me sad...

 

Awesome! *squuueeeeeeeeaaallll*

 

Holly Crap Lugnut,Grapper, & Other Newbes!

 

Well, there goes a few BotCon reveals.

Let's watch the fandom complain about BotCon not giving us much in the way of news.

 

*train of thought post*

Strafe? Oooh, that's neat.. wonder what this is... wow, Banzai-Tron! Fantastic! Cool cool cool.....

HOLY &#@*ING @&**.

 

Here are my theories about these particular upcoming Transformers toys:

TRA VOYAGER STRAFE:
A new mold (Cybertronian jet or an Earth jet?) or a repaint of an old figure? (Maybe a red & white colored ROTF Voyager Mindwipe with a retooled head?)

TRA DCPTCN BANZITRON:
Bot-Con 2009 Banzai-Tron mass-produced or a new mold entirely?

TRA TWIN BOOM FIGHTR:
I'm stumped on this one!

TRA VOYAGER LUGNUT:
Could this Lugnut be a Movieversed version of the Animated figure, like Lockdown?

TRA VOYAGER GRAPPEL:
My guess, an orange repaint of 2007 Movie TRU Exclusive Voyager Mudflap.

TRA SCOUT FIRETRAP:
Maybe a new mold or a Decepticon repaint of Cybertron Scout Scattorshot? (the name seems to fit in my opinion)

TRA SCOUT SUNSPOT:
Maybe a new mold, or a Decepticon repaint of 2007 Movie Scout Elita-One (the Decepticons need more females anyway) or 2007 Movie Scouts Air Raid/Skyblast?

TRA DELUXE AXOR:
Maybe a new mold, or an Autobot repaint of Armada/Energon Deluxes Sideways/Rapid Run?

 

Lugnut? As in a movie Lugnut! He's probably a Stratosphere repaint, but here's hoping for something very cool.

 

Wow, and the gravy train that is Hastak continues to roll in with pleasant surprises. Though, many of these are probably repaints.

I"m guessing Strafe may be Stratosphere repainted; praying for a GLORIOUS new movieverse Lugnut, Grapple (hopefully Classics Inferno repaint at least), and Banzaitron are all names I'll be watching closely.

 

Some very intriguing names there. Most, if not all of them, are probably HfD figures.

These are the most interesting ones to me. Looks like we may be getting a movie-verse Lugnut to go with Lockdown. Here's hoping the same eventually happens with Bulkhead. A Jolt repaint should be interesting. Another Voyager fallen sounds odd, but it's probably just a repaint of some kind. Grappel and Axor are probably new molds. Banzitron is the most interesting. Could be a repaint of Bludgeon, but could also be a new mold. Either way it should be interesting to see what they do with him.

 

I've been thinking about the Jolt repaint. Could it be a deluxe version of the FAB repaint?

 

It might be a two pack of Mindwipe and Skystalker, or perhaps it's a Movieverse Animated Safeguard. Just a thought....

 

Lug-fuckin'-nut YEAH!

*grabs TFA Lugnut*

And Banzai-tron? Interesting...

 

The only explanation I can offer for "twin boom fighter" is that it's a twin fuselage fighter like the P-38 Lightning. Which would be awesome since I had the P-38 Gobot as a kid.

EDIT: also possibly anything on this list:

If Lugnut is a Stratosphere repaint, I'll rage.

Of course, Lockdown could've easily been a Sideways repaint/retool, but look what we got.

 

All sounds interesting, but definetly hopeful of Grapple that he'll be an Inferno repaint/retool. I'm happy with my Botcon Banzaitron so any new version would have to be epic for me to want. Axer and Strafe I am hoping they are atleast new molds. And are Cla/Uni/Gen styled homages of their G1 selves.
