Actionmaster characters with transformable bodies is good in my view - heck it would make me happy if they did that with Hasbro made a whole bunch of new mould toys all derived from the Actionmasters Characters as they would be both G1 characters and yet all brand new in a way too and that really appeals to me.

So perhaps someone already made might make an OK Jackpot or Rad but personally Actionmasters or Targetmasters are something I'd like to see as a segment of the 2112 Classics theme with all new toys.

Sometimes I get a bit irked with Botcon as to me they often seem to miss the obvious choices out like Hauler, Mixmaster, & Hook and instead give us stuff that though fine I didn't really see a huge demand for like Rapido.

Sometimes I look at a mold like Tankor/Octane and I think right that's a Military tanker truck and a military plane but it's not a very military colour - so what would work and I think why not Sun Runner for that or for Astrotrain why not Blastoff ?

And I'm sure many people raised an Eyebrow that no Blue Grimlock made it into a G2 themed line.

I know what I want and if I happen to see any of it I will extol the virtue of it if I don't then I'll probably again be left scratching my head like Stan Laurel over some of it i'm sure.

Kind of like I do over what's happening with the GI Joe Brand at the moment.

 

looks like drift

 

If they are really coming out the Dealer Exclusives of SG Wheeljack of Generation mold & SG Inferno of Universe 2.0 mold in G1 Artfire colour scheme,both these figures are a must have for me

 

Artfire would impress me muchly.

 

The Action Master Theme seems more and more likely. Here's some possibilities:

Kick-Off - RTS Jazz
Nucleon Quest Optimus Prime - RTS Laser Optimus Prime
Blaster - Generations Soundwave
Skyfall - Generations Thunderwing
Treadshot - Generations Warpath
Krok - Generations Thunderwing
Sprocket - Generations Thunderwing
Rumbler - Generations Thunderwing
Over-Run - HFTD Tomahawk
Circuit - HFTD Axer
Jackpot - RTS Jazz
Omega Spreem - RTS Seaspray

Blaster would definitely fill the "must have" slot.

 

Omega Spreem needs to be PCC Undertow.

 

Where did the Dealer Exclusives idea come from?

 

The funny thing is, I've just recently been thinking that the Action Master theme seems less and less likely, and that FunPub's hints in that regard are skillful misdirection. Consider:

The Botcon sets and theme are always completely new concepts; by that I mean no characters featured in the Botcon sets have ever previously appeared in the Club comic. If you've read the Club comic over the past couple of years, you know that several Action Masters have played major roles. A lot of those characters are members of the Elite Guard.

I guess it could still happen. The Club comic is set in the Wings universe, and they've said the 2012 Botcon story will not be. Still, I'm backing away from the Action Master bandwagon for now. I still think a Wreckers set is more likely.

 

Not bad except for Omega Spreem, I just don't see him out of Seaspray,espicially with Spreem being one of the few Action Masters with a vehicle mode. Pther than that I'd easily buy a set liek this.

 

I expect we'll get at least one Action Master, seems to be their thing for the last few years. But, as a theme I'm getting away from it too. After looking at the new heads for hours and considering the likely available molds, I have a few candidates I consider very likely:

Kick-Off - RTS Jazz
Devcon - Generations Scourge
Ironworks and/or Powertrain - RTS Laser Prime
